Comparação da flexibilidade, qualidade de vida e capacidade funcional entre idosos ativos e sedentários dos meios urbano e rural

Introduction:The regular practice of physical activity is being used as a therapeutic resource to the elderly population, with the objective of reduction of the losses provoked by the growing old process. The home place (urban or rural) is still little explored in literature about your infl uence in the physical capacity of the elderly people. Objective: The aim of this study was to value and compare the quality of life, motion and functional capacity between physically active and sedentary elderly people, residents in the urban and rural area. Methods: Sixty people with age above 60 years old were valued, 20 physically active residents in the urban area (66,5 ± 4,32 years), 20 sedentary residents in the urban area (68,8± 7,24 years), 10 physically active residents in the rural area (64,4±2,46 years) and 10 sedentary residents in the rural area (68±5,78 years). It was realized the evaluation of the fl exibility (previous fl exon of the trunk), mobility (timed up and go test), a six-minute walk test and answered a quality of life’s questionnaire SF-36. To compare the results obtained by the two groups was used the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the signifi cant presence of the test was performed post hoc Newman-Keuls. The level of signifi cance used in statistical analysis was 5% (p<0,05).Results: It was observed that the physically active elderly people obtaine better performance on the six-minutes walk test. It wasn’t found difference in the mobility among the groups. In relation to the quality of life, the elderly residents in the rural area, were better in the component Vitally. In relation to the fl exibility the elderly residents in the urban area obtained the best results. So, we can conclude that the practice of physical activity realized by the volunteers contributed to a better functional capacity, observed by the biggest distance gone through on the walk test. The rural home place positively infl uenced the vitality control, while the fl exibility was worse presented in these elderly people.

Resolução de conflitos e agressividade: escala sobre a percepção de educadores

This study aime to estimate the properties of the Escala de percepção de professores dos comportamentos agressivos de crianças na escola. The research was conducted in a socio-educational institution in two phases. In the first one different educators completed the scale concerning the children and teenagers who attended the institution (N = 100). In the second, the children and teenagers with the highest or the lowest scores on the scale above (n = 60) responded to the Children’s Action Tendency Scale, which investigates strategies of conflict resolution. The results demonstrated adequate reliability of the scale of perception. However, they indicated that the educators’ evaluation did not correspond to how children and teenagers judged the hypothetical conflicts since the boys were rated as more aggressive than girls on the perception scale.

A perspectiva metodológica da resolução de problemas: um estudo sobre enunciados de situações matemáticas na EJA

In this paper we discuss the importance of a methodological perspective of solving problems as a sustaining process of teaching mathematics situated on the perspective of concept formation. Organizing a significant didactic situation for students imposes the need to study the interaction between them and the teacher and between them and their mathematical knowledge, learning environment in which the mere transmission of content gives way to contextualization, to historicizing and handling of topics from intuitive and everyday situations for the student. Thus, we understand mathematics as a fundamental language for the creation of theoretical thinking as a whole. We made use of documental analysis and classroom situations aiming at the use of instructional procedure related to the resolution of problems with the purpose of overcoming some representations about the process of teaching and learning mathematics which is strongly marked by imitative-repetitive algorithmic procedures. Considering mathematics as an investigation discipline, we point out renewal prospects for the curricula of this discipline, which are concrete in the movement of cultural action of the school itself as the cell generating discussion.

Sistemas suplementares e alternativos de comunicação nas habilidades expressivas de um aluno com paralisia cerebral

The objective of this research was to describe the use of an augmentative and alternative system for a student with cerebral palsy during intervention. A 10-year-old male student with cerebral palsy participated in this investigation. He attended special classes for people with disability in a public school in a city of the interior of Sao Paulo. The scheduled activities were carried out twice a week for two years at the Laboratory of Special Education of a public University of São Paulo. All of the tapes describing the activities that were filmed during the assessment and implementation of augmentative and alternative communication resource were watched and described using a specific protocol. Based on the information from the protocols, the sessions with intervals greater than 20 days and the ones with activities involving the communication board with the time equal or greater than 20 minutes during the first year of intervention were selected. The chosen sessions were transcribed in full and, after analyzing the text, the following categories were established, according to the stated goal: the graphic system helped the student with utterances of vertical structure (56%) associated with the oral (14%) and non-oral and non-verbal form (30%), while the use of the graphic system along with other forms collaborated to enhance statements, enabling better understanding of the child s intention. The use of augmentative and alternative communication systems provided the expansion of effective dialogical situations for the student during the activities carried out in speech therapy.

Produção e estudo da imobilização de lipases fúngicas visando à obtenção enzimática de biodiesel

A atual demanda por produtos alternativos que substituam os combustíveis fósseis, causadores de alto impacto ambiental negativo, tem fomentado pesquisas em diferentes áreas como o emprego de lipases microbianas como biocatalisadores no setor de energia. Como mais uma forma de busca por tecnologias limpas, há também interesse no aproveitamento de resíduos agroindustriais. Nessa vertente, o Brasil como grande produtor agrícola se destaca na geração de subprodutos como o bagaço de cana-de-açúcar. Uma alternativa mais ecológica para atender a essa demanda é a produção de biodiesel, produzido a partir da transesterificação de triglicerídeos de origem animal ou vegetal, tendo como características não ser tóxico, ser biodegradável e fonte renovável de energia. As lipases são enzimas que aceleram reações de hidrólise e síntese, podendo ser obtidas de microorganismos por meio de processos de fermentação em estado sólido, porém com alta demanda de recursos financeiros para sua produção. Hoje em dia, o que está em alta na indústria de tecnologia com enzimas é a utilização de resíduos agroindustriais e processos de imobilização com o intuito de diminuir os gastos em sua produção, um dos gargalos para seu uso mais amplo. Neste trabalho foi analisada a viabilidade do uso do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar misturado a farelos de soja ou trigo como meios de cultivo em fermentação semi-sólida, assim como a melhor concentração de umidade para o desenvolvimento de lipases pelo microorganismos estudados. Foi testada também a viabilidade de imobilização das lipases produzidas em suporte de celite

O ensino dos conceitos de área e perímetro através da resolução de problemas

When I set out to attend degree in mathematics was because I believed that mathematics could be taught to students in a way closer to their daily lives, thereby making it a more attractive school discipline, gradually, eliminating its reputation of a difficult school subject. Then, during my observations in supervised, I realized that one of the greatest difficulties in mathematics was related with geometry, in which the concepts of area and perimeter were often confused. Using the methodological tool of problem solving, something to bring the concept to be developed and the cultural context in which the student is in, I developed some educational activities in which, using concrete materials, students were encouraged to construct their own knowledge about the concepts of area and perimeter. Moreover, such activities were designed to place the student as the center of attention in the classroom. The main objective of this work is to encourage and observe how this methodology, based on the solving problem process, can be used within the classroom, to better understand the concepts to be taught, always looking for improvement of the student learning

Resolução de problemas no ensino da matemática: uma experiência com base no rali matemático

Since the 1980s, problem solving has been recommended by international curriculum proposals for the teaching of mathematics. In Brazil, with the publication of the National Curriculum Guidelines in 1997, this trend was reinforced and became the central activity of the classroom. Troubleshooting is seen as an asset in the learning process of the student, providing a context for learning concepts, mathematical methods and attitudes. However, this methodological approach requires deeper research, especially for new teaches. This work aims at a further study in this subject and in the experiences with problem solving in the classroom of High School students. The ground basis for this was the Mathematical Transalpine Rally, a competition between classrooms that seeks to facilitate the problem solving within mathematics teaching, and through an autonomous and creative work, performed collectively. The results of this experience, as well as the contribuition for the student’s education are presented

PARFOR e a formação inicial dos professores: um estudo sobre a confiança, as atitudes e as estratégias em relação à resolução de problemas

The mathematical problem solving is very important in the student's school career, leading him to develop his creativity and self-confidence. The way the teacher explains specific content may interfere in the student learning. Some researches show that the teacher trust and his problem solving rapport lead to a more satisfying job. This research focused on students of the course PARFOR at UNESP Bauru. This work was performed in order to investigate the affinity, trust and attitudes toward mathematical problem solving, the performance from who have positive and negative attitudes and the results that may be generated during class

Resolução do problema de carregamento e descarregamento de contêineres em terminais portuários via Beam Search

One problem that has been happening frequently in port terminals is the poor planning of the loading and unloading of containers. The reason of this problem is the lack of an efficient method that provides the best means of these operations. The main goal of this work is, to implement a method that provides the best ways to perform the loading and unloading of containers, at each port and thus bring a great saving for these terminals, since the number of moves is directly proportional to cost. To carry out this program was used the idea that the containers are placed in vertical stacks, where the access can be done only by the top of the stack, so the ship was treated as an matrix and to fill it, two rules were created for loading and two for unloading. To obtain the best sequence of rules was used Beam Search method, which is an enumeration type implicit method that analyzes only the best solution of the tree generated. Thus, the program developed in the Java language, provides the best way to perform the loading and unloading ports and the way as the ship leaves each port using a graphical interface

Comportamento de Escherichia coli produtora de toxina de Shiga em meios ácidos

Escherichia coli é uma bactéria Gram-negativa, pertencente à família Enterobacteriaceae, que habita o intestino de animais de sangue quente, com 90% sendo comensais para o ser humano e 10% patogênicas. Quando presente em alimentos esse grupo é considerado um bom indicador higiênico-sanitário de alimentos. Em alimentos, a cepa patogênica mais estudada é E. coli produtora de toxina de Shiga (STEC) O157:H7. Entretanto, muitos casos vêm ocorrendo em todo o mundo devido a cepas patogênicas não O157, como O103, O111, O145 e O26. As STECs são responsáveis por desde uma simples diarréia até diarréia sanguinolenta que pode evoluir ainda para síndrome hemolítica urêmica e púrpura trombótica trombocitopênica, que podem ocasionar danos crônicos como falência renal. A transmissão destas cepas se deve a carnes mal cozidas, leites e derivados não pasteurizados, água e vegetais contaminados. Uma característica interessante de E. coli O157:H7 é o seu mecanismo de resistência ao estresse ácido – ácido tolerância – de modo que os alimentos ácidos não podem mais ser considerados seguros contra tais organismos. A fim de ampliar o conhecimento acerca das cepas não O157 e dos mecanismos de ácido resistência, este trabalho teve por objetivo verificar o comportamento de linhagens de STEC não O157:H7 submetidas às condições de estresse de baixo pH utilizando para tanto meios de cultura acidificados e polpas de frutas como matriz alimentar. Constatou-se que quando mantidas em condições-controle e as ácido-adaptadas mantêm populações da ordem de 2 a 3 log UFC/mL quando em polpas de frutas sabor cajá (pH 2,3) e tamarindo (pH 2,3) armazenadas a 4 C por até 30 dias
