Esta tese estuda o protestantismo brasileiro enquanto parte de um processo civilizatório figuracional de longo prazo nos termos propostos pelo sociólogo alemão Norbert Elias. Tal processo é produtor de hábitos cúlticos e extra-cúlticos exercidos pelos praticantes dessa expressão religiosa. Observou-se ao longo da pesquisa que, o protestantismo brasileiro inicial e de missão teve sua principal base missionária em Campinas, transformado posteriormente em um eixo missionário Campinas-Piracicaba. Atualmente o protestantismo está definitivamente inserido na sociedade e na paisagem urbana da cidade de Campinas. Neste estudo, encontrou-se em uma periferia urbana campineira nascida através de uma invasão de terras em 1997, autonomeada extra oficialmente pelos ocupantes de Parque Oziel, várias comunidades de origem protestante. Percorreu-se a trajetória de constituição dessa área de ocupação e a etnografia e análise dos costumes evangélicos atuais dos aderentes dessa fé no Parque Oziel.

Estudo sobre os processos comunicativos envoltos na transformação dos hábitos culinários da comunidade quilombola da Fazenda Picinguaba de Ubatuba, SP. O objetivo é entender as origens e as causas que provocaram alterações nos hábitos culinários da comunidade do Quilombo da Fazenda, a partir de uma análise comparativa entre os fazeres primitivos e os praticados hoje. Foi analisado também o processo comunicacional desenvolvido para a transmissão da cultura alimentar entre as gerações, identificando as linguagens utilizadas. Como instrumento para o entendimento desses fenômenos, esta pesquisa foi realizada à luz das teorias e conceitos dos estudos culturais; dos conceitos sobre comunidades e identidades, além da teoria da folkcomunicação desenvolvida por Luiz Beltrão. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo de documentos, além de entrevistas utilizando-se a modalidade história oral com os membros da comunidade. Os resultados obtidos apontam uma mudança nos hábitos alimentares da comunidade do Quilombo da Fazenda, devido à facilidade de acesso ao comércio de gêneros alimentícios, decorrente da construção da rodovia Rio-Santos, e a influência trazida pela televisão, a partir da implantação da rede de energia elétrica em 2008. No entanto, observamos que apesar dessa mudança, a base da cultura alimentar quilombola vem mantendo muito dos seus aspectos originais. A comunicação dentro da comunidade quilombola e a transmissão dos saberes e fazeres tradicionais da comunidade ocorrem predominante pela oralidade. Identificamos a presença de dança, música, roda de conversa, culinária, artesanato que correspondem aos gêneros da folkcomunicação.

O Estágio Pedagógico (EP) representa para os professores estagiários uma importante oportunidade para por em prática os conteúdos aprendidos ao longo da sua formação académica, e que servem de base para a sua intervenção enquanto profissional do ensino da Educação Física (EF). Através deste trabalho propomos-mos a apresentar, fundamentar e refletir o EP de EF realizado na Escola Básica dos 2º e 3º Ciclos Dr. Eduardo Brazão de Castro, ao longo do ano letivo 2012/2013. A prática letiva incluiu o planeamento, realização e controlo/avaliação de atividades físicas, da aptidão física e dos conhecimentos relativos aos processos de elevação e manutenção da aptidão física em duas turmas (7º2 e 12º PSI). Este domínio incluiu ainda a construção de um instrumento para a observação de aulas. Para além da atividade letiva, o EP englobou outras atividades, nas quais o papel do professor estagiário foi de grande relevo para a sua concretização. As atividades de integração no meio abrangeram a caracterização da turma, o estudo caso e a ação de extensão curricular, que promoveu a inter-relação entre professores, encarregados de educação e alunos em torno da promoção do desporto na natureza e da multidisciplinaridade. A atividade de intervenção na comunidade escolar destinou-se a toda a comunidade educativa e procurou promover a criação de hábitos de vida saudáveis, o desenvolvimento do espírito crítico, estético, cultural e a interação entre a Escola e a Comunidade. As atividades de natureza científico-pedagógica abordaram o ensino dos desportos de natureza na escola (ação individual) e a realização da avaliação diagnóstica em EF (ação coletiva), com o intuito de contribuir para a formação contínua dos professores de EF da Região. A realização do EP e de todas as atividades que o compõem revelou-se fundamental para a formação contínua do professor, na medida em que contribuiu para a preparação do mesmo para atuar perante múltiplas situações.

Biological rhythms are part of the life from the simplest to the most complex living beings. In humans, one of the most important biological rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle (SWC), which represents an indispensable behavior for health, since sleep deprivation can lead to deficits in attention and memory, mood and daytime sleepiness which may affect school performance. Nevertheless, the SWC is a content rarely discussed in schools. Thus, the aim of this research was to address contents of the sleep-wake cycle, related to the content of Health to encourage healthy sleep habits. This study was conducted in a public school with 33 students of the 3rd year of high school and is divided into four stages: 1st) Study and analysis of the content of the textbook adopted by the school to subsidize the activities covered in the teaching unit (TU) and approximation with the biology teacher from the class to evaluated the feasibility of schedules for the development of TU; 2nd) Survey of students' prior knowledge, through a questionnaire, to guide the development of the TU; 3rd) Development and implementation of a TU based on meaningful learning and characterization of the students sleep habits, 4th) Evaluation of the TU as a viable proposal to teach biological rhythms concepts. Previous knowledge of students about the SWC are scarce and this content is not covered in the books adopted by the school. Alternative conceptions were observed, particularly with regard to individual differences in sleep, which may contribute to the occurrence of inadequate sleep habits, as reported by the adolescents in this study. The activities developed during UD were well received by the students who showed participative, motivated and evaluated positively the procedures used by the researcher. After the TU, students' knowledge about the concept of biological rhythms has been increased and they started to identify that the SWC changes throughout life and occur due biological and socio-cultural factors. Thus, the UD elaborated in this study represents a viable proposal to teach the concepts of biological rhythms contextualized to the content of Health, in high school

Introdução: o zinco é um importante micronutriente para numerosos processos bioquímicos em animais e humanos, desempenhando papel de destaque no crescimento e desenvolvimento. Em populações mundiais, a deficiência primária grave de zinco não é comum, embora, a deficiência leve seja bastante prevalente. Considerando que o zinco é essencial para a saúde humana e regula o sistema hipotálamo, hipófise, fígado e osso, buscamos averiguar os seus efeitos no eixo GH-IGF1-IGFBP3 agudamente, mediante administração intravenosa com o elemento zinco, e cronicamente, mediante suplementação oral com o elemento zinco, usando doses fisiológicas de 0.06537 mg Zn/kg (via intravenosa) e 10 mg Zn/dia (via oral). A inclusão de crianças pré-púberes aparentemente saudáveis e eutróficas sem deficiência de zinco é raro na literatura, pois grande parte das publicações foram reportadas em crianças apresentando deficiência de zinco. A metodologia aplicada foi absolutamente inovadora e original, tornando o estudo altamente relevante para a interface entre endocrinologia e nutrição. Objetivo: investigar os efeitos da suplementação oral e administração intravenosa com o elemento zinco sobre a secreção de GH, IGF1, IGFBP3, OCN, ALP, TRAP e PT em crianças aparentemente saudáveis e eutróficas sem deficiência de zinco. Métodos: o estudo foi conduzido durante um período de três meses, e caracterizado por ser randomizado controlado triplo cego. As crianças foram selecionadas por amostragem não probabilística de conveniência, provenientes de escolas públicas municipais, de ambos os gêneros, na faixa etária compreendida entre 8 e 9 anos de idade, divididas em grupo controle (20 crianças recebendo solução placebo contendo 10% de sorbitol) e grupo experimental (20 crianças suplementadas com o elemento zinco na forma de sulfato de zinco heptahidratado – ZnSO4.7H2O). As crianças foram submetidas à suplementação oral de zinco elementar (10 mg Zn/dia) e à administração intravenosa de zinco (0.06537 mg Zn/kg de peso corporal), na forma de ZnSO4.7H2O, cujas amostras sanguíneas foram coletadas em 0, 60, 120, 180 e 210 minutos. Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas e dietéticas e dosagens bioquímicas e hormonais nas crianças estudadas. Resultados: após a suplementação oral, foi observado no grupo experimental (i) aumento significativo dos valores de ingestão de energia total, proteína e gordura total (p = 0.0007, p< 0.0001, p< 0.0001, respectivamente), (ii) aumento significativo do zinco sérico basal (p< 0.0001), aumento significativo das concentrações plasmáticas de fostatase alcalina (p = 0.0270), e (iv) correlação positiva com o IGF1, IGFBP3, OCN, comparando antes e após a suplementação (p = 0.0011, p< 0.0001, p< 0.0446, respectivamente). Durante a administração venosa de zinco, as concentrações plasmáticas de IGF1 e IGFBP3 aumentaram significativamente no grupo experimental (p = 0.0468, p < 0.0001, respectivamente). Em relação o cálculo da adequação aparente, segundo as DRI, para o cálcio, houve inadequação da dieta com 85% de confiabilidade dos dados; para o ferro, adequação da dieta, com 85% de confiabilidade dos dados. Para o zinco, adequação da dieta, com 50% de confiabilidade dos dados. Conclusões: a suplementação oral com o elemento zinco pode ter estimulado um aumento na ingestão de energia total, proteína e gordura total, assim como, nas concentrações basais de zinco sérico e nas concentrações plasmáticas de fosfatase alcalina. A administração intravenosa de zinco aumentou as concentrações séricas de zinco e as concentrações plasmáticas de GH, IGF1 e IGFBP3 no grupo experimental.

The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), considered today one chronic nature of the disease due to the advent of antiretroviral therapy (TARV), brings to individuals living with this disease, difficulties related to social interaction and adaptation to new physical condition and the routines imposed by the treatment. This reality has a strong impact on the lives of these people in order of overcoming them use coping strategies, Coping. In this context, the aim of this study was to characterize the epidemiological, clinical and life habits of people living with AIDS and analyze the coping strategies used with the situation of the disease, according to sociodemographic, clinical and life habits. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 331 people registered at the clinic of the Hospital Giselda Trigueiro (HGT), located in Natal / RN, who had scheduling for outpatient medical consultation from January to August 2014. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte with the Presentation of Certificate for Ethics Assessment (CAAE), paragraph 16578613.0.0000.5537. The data of social characterization showed predominance of men (52%), young people (42%) coming from the capital (58%), mulatto (53%), single (56%), heterosexual (79%), poor (68 %). With regard to clinical aspects it has been found that most held the first HIV testing for less than five years (60%) had signs and symptoms of AIDS before the examination (90%) were hospitalized (90%) started ART for less than five years (60%) believe they have good knowledge of the disease (75%) and believe that their health has improved (92%). For lifestyle, it became clear that most do not consume alcohol (71%), do not smoke (88%) and do not use illicit drugs (92%) and never used condoms before diagnosis (62%) and only 192 (58%) use the currently codon. With regard to the reference was higher coping focused modes of emotion, although the problem solving has been the second most common. The mean scores of women, workers, religious and never abandoned the treatment were higher for all factors. Having a partner, living with family members and support in the treatment had higher average scores for various factors, coinciding in the confrontation, withdrawal and social support. As for the leisure and physical exercise also dominated the modes focused on emotion as was seen in the correlation between the time of treatment, education and family income and IEEFL factors, although with low intensity. The profile of the study population confers with national characteristics, suggesting feminization, internalization, pauperization, heterosexual, increased CD4 cell count and viral load reduction during treatment and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits. Coping strategies used were more focused on emotion. In this context, it is understood that the identification of these strategies can facilitate care planning, encouraging such persons to adapt to stressors with the situation of the disease

Academic demands, new social context, new routines and decrease of the parental control, are factors that may influence the sleep pattern of freshman students at the University. Medical students from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) have a full-time course, subjects with high-level content, and, at the first semester, classes begin at 7 a.m. This group composed by young adults who still suffering with delayed sleep phase, common in adolescence, indicating that this class schedule can be inappropriate at this age. The reduction of nocturnal sleep during school days, and the attempt to recover sleep on free days – social jet lag (JLS), suggests that in the first semester, students suffer from high sleep pressure. High sleep pressure may reflect on cognitive tasks and performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep pressure and the academic profile of medical students from the first semester of UFRN, characterizing this population socio-demographically and investigating possible impacts on therestactivity rhytm and academic performance. A sample of 88 students, healthy men and women awswered the following questionnaires: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Horne & Ostberg Chronotype (HO), Munich Chronotype (MCTQ) and “Health and Sleep” adapted. Actigraphy was used during 14 days to make actogramas and obtain non-parametric variables of the rest-activity rhythm and the grades of the morning schedule were used as academic performance. The JLS was used as a measure of sleep pressure. Statistics significance level was 95%. The population was sociodemographic homogeneous. Most students have healthy lifestyle, practice physical activity, use car to go to the university and take between 15 and 30 minutes for this route. Regarding CSV, most were classify as intermediate (38.6%) and evening (32%) chronotypes, needs to nap during the week, suffer daytime sleepiness and have poor sleep quality. 83% of the sample has at least 1h JLS, which led us to divide into two groups: Group <2h JLS (N = 44) and Group ≥ 2h JLS (N = 44). The groups have differences only in chronotype, showing that most evening individuals have more JLS, however, no differences were found in relation to sociodemographic aspect, rest-activity rhythm or academic performance. The homogeneity of the sample was limited to compare the groups, however, is alarming that students already present in the first half: JLG, poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness, which can be accentuated through the university years, with the emergence of night shifts and increased academic demand. Interventionsaddressingthe importance of good sleep habits and the change of the class start time are strategies aimed to improve student’s health.

Aim : To evaluate and to standardize surface electromyography (sEMG) normalization procedures for respiratory muscles by comparing muscle activation during Maximal Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and Maximal Respiratory Pressures (MIP, MEP and sniff test). Methods: Healthy subjects were evalua ted regarding demographics, spirometry and sEMG during the five maneuvers: sniff test, MIP , MEP and Maximal Voluntary Isometric C ontraction (MVIC) of RA, SCM and SC A . For electrode placement, skin was prepared with abrasion, followed by shaving in the foll owing regions for acquisition of el ectromyographic signals: (1) SC M: lower third of the distance between the mastoid process and t he sternoclavicular joint; (2) SC A : 5 cm to the right from the sternoclavicular joint and at this point, up to 2 cm; and (3 ) RA: the level of umbilicus, 4 cm to the right. In electromyographic variables analysis , the data normality was assessed by Shapiro - Wilk test. Comparisons among studied maneuvers were performed by Friedman Test and Dunn’s post - hoc for multiple comparisons a mong inspiratory maneuvers, and Mann Whitney test for expiratory maneuvers. Subgroups differences between genders were performed by Student's t test or Mann - Whitney test according to data normality. Results: 35 subjects participated in the study, b ut 5 we re excluded (BMI> 25 kg/ m²). Sample consisted of 30 subjects (1 5 women), mean age 27.3±7.43 years, BMI 22.2 ± 1.69 kg/m² and spirometric indices within normal limits. Specific MVIC for SCM, SCA and RA showed the highest RMS. When we grouped sample into gender we found no difference among RMS values for the studied SCM maneuvers, while for SCA, MVIC SCM / SCA was the one with the highest RMS and for RA, MVIC RA in men. Once considering women, MVIC SCM/SCA showed the highest RMS for SCM, SCA and MVIC RA showed t he highest value for RA. Conclusion: MVIC for SCM, SCA and RA muscles showed the highest RMS values. When comparing RMS between the studied groups, there was no significant difference between men and women.

Introduction: Kinesio Taping (KT) has been used in healthy people to improve neuromuscular performance, however, few studies have evaluated its chronic effects, despite being suggested. Objective: To analyze the chronic effects of KT on neuromuscular performance of the quadriceps, the oscillation of the center of pressure and lower limb function in healthy women. Methods: blinded, randomized, controlled trial, composed of 60 women (mean age 21.9 ± 3.3 years and BMI 22.3 ± 2.2 kg / m2) submitted to the evaluation of oscillation of the center of pressure through the baropodometry, the lower limb function by the hop test, isokinetic knee performance, the electromyographic activity of the vastus lateralis (VL) and joint position sense of the knee (JPS). Then, participants were randomly divided into three groups of twenty: control - did not apply the KT; placebo - application of KT without tension on the quadriceps; Kinesio Taping - application of KT with tension in the same muscle group. The evaluations were conducted in five moments: prior to application of KT, immediately after the application, 24h, 48h after application and 24 hours after its removal (72h). SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis. The KS test was used to verify the data normality, the Levene test for homogeneity of variances and a mixed-model ANOVA 3x5 to check intra and inter-group differences. Results: there was no difference in peak torque, the power, nor the electromyographic activity or SPA (p> 0.05) between groups. The displacement speed of center of pressure reduced immediately after the application on kinesio taping group (p <0.001), but with no differences between the groups (p = 0.28). There was a reduction in the time of peak torque among the three groups in the evaluations after KT application (p <0.001) and an increase in single hop in all groups (p <0.001), but with no differences between them. Conclusion: KT can not change, in a chronic way, the lower limb function, the oscillation of the center of pressure, the isokinetic performance, the JPS of the knee and the electromyographic activity of VL muscle in healthy women.

The aging process causes changes in the elderly’s sleep/awake standard impairing their cognitive abilities, particularly executive functioning, which already suffers loss by aging. The literature suggests that executive function and preserved sleep quality are key to maintaining good quality of life and independence of older people, requiring interventions to minimize the impact of losses incurred by the aging process. This study evaluated the effect of a cognitive training program and sleep hygiene techniques for executive functions and sleep quality in healthy older people. The participants were 41 healthy older adults, of both sexes, who were randomly divided into four groups: control group [GC], cognitive training group [GTC], sleep hygiene group [GHS] and training group + hygiene [GTH]. The research was developed in three stages: 1st - initial assessment of cognition and sleep; 2nd - specific intervention to each group; 3rd - post-intervention revaluation. The results showed that GTC had significant improvements in cognitive tasks flexibility, planning, verbal fluency and some aspects of episodic memory, besides gains in sleep quality and decrease on daytime hypersomnolence. The GHS improved sleep quality and daytime sleepiness as well and had significant improvements in insights capacity, planning, attention and in all evaluated aspects of episodic memory. The GTH had significant gains in cognitive flexibility, problem solving, verbal fluency, attention and episodic memory. The CG showed significant worsening in excessive daytime sleepiness in capacity planning. Thus, we conclude that cognitive training interventions and sleep hygiene strategies are useful in improving cognitive performance and quality of healthy elderly sleep.

The high-intensity interval exercise has been described as an option for increasing physical activity and its use also being suggested in the therapeutic management of many conditions such as diabetes mellitus and heart failure. However, the knowledge of its physiological effects and parameters that can assure greater safety for interval exercise prescription; especially its effect on short- and medium-term (24 hours after exercise) exercise recovery, need to be clarified. This study objective was to evaluate the effect of continuous and interval aerobic exercise on the cardiac autonomic control immediate and medium term (24 hours), by assessing heart rate variability (HRV). The present study is a randomized crossover clinical trial in which healthy young individuals with low level of physical activity had the VFC 24 hours measured by a heart rate sensor and portable accelerometer (3D eMotion HRV, Kuopio, Finland) before and after continuous aerobic exercise (60-70% HR max, 21 min.) and interval exercise (cycle 1 min. 80-90% HR max, 2 min. at 50-60% HR max, duration 21 min.). HRV was measured in the time and frequency domain and the sympathovagal balance determined by the ratio LF / HF. Nonlinear evaluation was calculated by Shannon entropy. The data demonstrated delayed heart rate recovery immediate after exercise and lower HR after 24 hours compared to pre intervention values, especially in the interval exercise group. There was a tendency to higher predominance and representatives index values of sympathetic stimulation during the day in interval exercise group; however, without statistical significance. The study results help to clarify the effects of interval exercise on the 24 hours following interval exercise, setting parameters for prescription and for further evaluation of groups with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
