Sensação de bem-estar ao praticar atividade física: perspectivas da psicologia do esporte

Este trabalho tem como objetivos principais identificar se a prática da atividade física produz uma sensação de bem-estar; analisar os elementos psicofisiológicos que conduzam a esta sensação de bem-estar e verificar a existência de indicadores psicofisiológicos que apontem uma dosagem ideal para a prática saudável de atividade física para a dita sensação de bem-estar. Este tema foi escolhido, pois não existem muitos estudos com resultados concretos nesta área e a preocupação com o bem-estar e com a saúde tem sido cada dia mais freqüente graças ao aumento de doenças e sintomas do stress, depressão, dentre outros. Na literatura encontramos muitos autores e estudos que se preocupam em abordar tanto o tema de atividade física quanto o de bem-estar, mas quando juntamos estes dois assuntos os estudos ficam mais difíceis de ser encontrados, o que nos motiva a abordar estes dois temas em conjunto. (PROCEDIMENTOS METODOLÓGICOS) Pesquisa qualiquantitativa, com uso de instrumento do tipo questionário, sendo 11 perguntas abertas, além de 5 perguntas com o caráter de identificação. O público foi composto por 30 pessoas da cidade de Rio Claro/SP com idades entre 17 e 29 anos, sendo 11 do sexo masculino e 19 do sexo feminino; 28 estavam cursando o ensino superior, enquanto 2 já haviam completado o ensino superior e estavam fazendo pós-graduação. Os dados serão analisados através de categorização e os resultados deverão ser publicados em artigos ou similares.

Jejum no pré-abate de suínos: bem estar animal e qualidade da carne

In the pre-slaughter management of pigs there are stressors, which depending on the duration or severity, are able to alter the quality of meat. One of the factors considered critical to the welfare is the fasting period in the farm. This practice is fundamental and proven relevance in the production chain. Besides the effects on meat quality and welfare of pigs, fasting is among the main factors responsible for the incidence of skin lesions, can significantly influence the incidence of esophagogastric ulcers and is also important to avoid any contamination of carcasses by gastrointestinal contents. When fasting is done right, it has a positive impact on welfare, meat quality and conditions of welfare during the pre-slaughter management of pigs

Gestão do ouro azul no contexto globalizado Neoliberal: bem econômico ou bem social?

The neoliberalism based on the Washington Consensus advised privatization as the most effective alternative for the management of natural resources. The question is what is prioritizing efficiency, market or welfare? The growing concern about the water issue has been highlighted in discussions in international policy debates, and what it turns out is the prominence of corporate and economic interests over social and environmental. The water is in crisis, there are several sources of popular conflicts around the world contrary to how this resource is being offered, as the Water War occurred in 2000 in the city of Cochabamba. It is necessary to respect its limitations to ensure their future availability and choose the best development model that favors the effectiveness of their control. The international proliferation of commercial vision concerning water stipulated privatization of their management as ideal rule, which increased rates, concentrated income, has not improved the quality nor promoted the conquest of equal access to water for most systems that provides these services, this is, privatization has not brought positive results that outweigh the harm of its implementation. Water is an essential commodity for life of living beings, in all its stages, basic reason to develop plans, rules and commitments that ensure its conservation and provide, as soon as possible, a valid alternative for the sustainable management in long term

Antidepressivo modula o comportamento e a expressão gênica das cadeias de miosina, serca2 e fosfolambam em ratos com insuficiência aórtica?

Introduction: Aortic insufficiency (AoI), a volume overload, is characterized by the diastolic reflux of blood from the regurgitating aorta to the left ventricle. This effect results from malfunctioning aortic cusps. The main cause of AoI in developing countries is rheumatic fever, including Brazil, and valvar degeneration in developed countries. There is a strong association between cardiovascular diseases and depression. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are one of the most prescribed antidepressants in the world. Previous studies of our laboratory showed that the utilization of a SSRI, paroxetine, improved cardiac function in rats with sub-chronic AoI and reduced the daily ingestion of hypertonic sodium (NaCl 0,3M). Cardiovascular diseases can determine behavior changes like increase of anxiety, and it is yet unknown if AoI would determine anxiety or anhedonia, incapacity of obtaining pleasure through physical or sensorial experiences. A possible target for SSRI action could be a change in the expression of enzyme isoforms that collaborate in the contractile function of the heart muscle, like the heavy chains of myosine, the sarcoplasmatic reticulum Ca2+/ATPase (SERCA) and its regulator protein, phospholamban (PLB). Objectives: Evaluation of behavior parameters for anxiety and anhedonia state and genic expression of a-myosine, b-myosine, SERCA2a and PLB in the heart tissue of rats with subchronic AoI that received treatment with an SSRI (paroxetine) for 4 weeks. Methods: Surgery to induce AoI was performed on male Wistar rats, anxiety was evaluated by the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and state of anhedonia was tested by ingestion of 2% sucrose solution. After euthanasia the heart tissue was collected and total RNA was extracted to be analyzed by the RT-qPCR method. Results: Heart fractional shortening was preserved in rats with AoI that were treated compared to rats with AoI that were not treated. There was no statistically ...

O uso de ducha: efeito sobre o bem-estar e a qualidade da carcaça e da carne em suínos transportados para o abate

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of a shower before and after pig transportation on welfare, meat and carcass quality. We used 384 crossbreeding animals (females and castrated males), from 16 farms in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. A 2x4 factorial arrangement of treatments was employed with two distances from farm to slaughter plant (less than 50km and more than 50km) and four showering protocols. These protocols were applied on pigs: no showering at farm or slaughter plant (Control), no showering at farm but showering at the plant (NMG_MOF); showering at the farm and no showering at the plant (MOG_NMF); showering at the farm and plant (MOG_MOF). None of the factors influenced (P>0.05) physiological variables related to stress (cortisol and lactate in blood samples), number of carcass lesions and the characteristics of meat quality.

Aspectos psicopedagógicos da competição esportiva escolar

A escola é uma instituição qual a competição esta instalada intrinsecamente, e esta pedagogia se tornou atualmente muito controversa, pois esta gera diversas dúvidas para sua prática bem aplicada, e acaba, portanto, sendo simplesmente negada por diversos educadores. O fato é que a competição, como elemento fundamental do esporte, e, por sua vez, caracterizado dentro da cultura corporal, a faz elemento fundamental a ser executado dentro das aulas de Educação Física. Esta que passou historicamente por diferentes visões e vertentes, desde o militarismo até a utilização dos PCNs como principal ferramenta norteadora das aulas, tem estas mudanças temporalmente abruptas contribuintes para com a polarização veemente de opiniões acerca da competição esportiva na escola. O que acontece atualmente, seja por falta de preparo do professor, estudos sobre o assunto ou mesmo sobre essa constante negatória competitiva, faz com que ela seja erroneamente utilizada dentro das aulas de Educação Física e, uma ferramenta como esta, mal utilizada, acaba meramente espelhando os desportos perfomances de alto nível, onde se tem a vitória como principal foco ativo, o que acaba levando à exclusão de certos alunos menos habilidosos. Temos então de estudar esta potente ferramenta pedagógica que é a competição esportiva escolar, para que possamos utilizá-la de maneira correta, focando o processo educativo qual empreende esta competição e o desporto, se pautando em objetivos claros para que seja possível se obter uma competição com faces educativas fortes. Seria muito cômodo para nós educadores simplesmente ignorar esta face competitiva inerente à escola, inviabilizando, por conseguinte, um elemento rico e vasto de conteúdos e pedagogias em nossa área. Temos então de aceitar essa competição como um desafio, onde se estudam formas para recriá-la da melhor maneira pedagógica possível, se maximizando os efeitos benéficos desta...

Conscientizar para o bem-estar animal: posse responsável

The community awareness on responsible ownership associated with public policies is key to the promotion of animal welfare. Most cities have a large population of dogs and cats wandering causing serious health problems and abuse. This project aimed to guide and inform the population aimed at animal welfare with the simple and direct approach to issues related to responsible ownership, management, nature conservation and zoonoses. The methodology developed to approach the project in two modules: the I and II, along public and private Elementary and High Schools in Araçatuba. Module I (Mod.I) is basedon the use of puppet theater and musicals, considering the target audience children 3-10 years and the second module (Mod 2) consists of presentations of lectures by undergraduate and graduate course of Veterinary Medicine FMVA UNESP campus Araçatuba, being the target audience of High School teenagers. Data collection proceeded by questionnaires, with questions regarding the care and practices to pets. The results revealed that there is a lack of information about animal welfare practice.

Orientação sobre posse responsável em uma área endêmica para leishmaniose visceral canina

The purpose of this work was to provide guidance to householders in the responsible care of their pets, in a region where canine visceral leishmaniasis is endemic. Questionnaires on responsible ownership and the control of this disease were completed by owners of dogs and cats in the city of Araçatuba, São Paulo State, Brazil, in order to evaluate their level of knowledge. Based on the identified deficiencies, the project team provided the owners of the pets with individual guidance at home, focusing on the most critical issues. Concerning nutrition, 70.45% (62/88) of owners provided pet food only, 27.28% (24/88) administered a mixed diet, and 2.27% (2/88) provided homemade food. Additionally, 78.41% (69/88) did not permit the consumption of raw meat, rare meat, or bones. 9.09% (8/88) of owners allowed their pets to wander the neighborhood alone. Among dogs, 14.77% (13/88) had never been clinically tested by a qualified professional, and 6.82% (6/88) and 15.91% (14/88) had never received any kind of vaccine or vermifuge, respectively. In relation to population control, only 20.45% (18/88) of the dogs had been sterilized. It was also observed that 25% (22/88) of owners had already had canine visceral leishmaniasis seropositive dogs in their homes. 54.55% (12/22) of these owners had referred their pets to veterinary clinics for euthanasia, 22.73% (5/22) had used the services of the city’s animal disease control center, and 18.18% (4/22) had paid for private treatment. Nevertheless, 35.23% (31/88) of the dogs had never been submitted to tests for infection diagnosis. From the results obtained, it could be inferred that the individuals who participated in this study were poorly informed concerning basic pet care, demonstrating a need to implement community awareness campaigns for the responsible ownership of pets.
