Long latency auditory evoked potential in Asperger Syndrome: two case studies

Introduction: Auditory Late Responses (ALR) assess central auditory processing by neuro electric activity of the auditory pathway and analyse the activities involved in cortical abilities of discrimination, attention and integration of the brain. Individuals withAsperger Syndrome experience changes in these skills, so it is important to research these potential this population. The objective of this paper was to describe the auditory late responses of two patients with Asperger Syndrome. Methods: The study included two male patients with Asperger Syndrome, of 7 and 12 years of age, treated in a study centre. The patients did not present any auditory complaint detected by an amnesis. The external auditory canal was inspected and audiological and auditory late responses assessed. After evaluation the components P2, N2 and P3 were analysed. Results: In both patients, the latency of the components P2, N2 and P3 were elongated in both ears. Regarding the amplitude of the P2 component, reduced values were found for the left ear of patient 1 and the right ear of patient 2. The N2 amplitude was reduced for both ears of patient 1 and only the right ear of patient 2. The two patients showed a decrease in the amplitude of the P3 only in the right ear. Conclusion:This study concludes that there were changes in the ALR results in both patients with Asperger Syndrome, suggesting alteration of the auditory function at the cortex level.

Pureza nagô, (re)africanização, dessincretização

These terms stand for tendencies in the candomblé world which occurred as a consequence of intentionally introduced alterations of “tradition”. This article discusses four important interpretations of this phenomenon and tries to identify convergences and divergences between them: the constructivist approach of Beatriz Góis Dantas renewed the academic discussion in the 1980ies insofar as she related, amongst others, authenticity to the struggle for recognition and against discrimination; Lorand Matory should critize Dantas from a Black Atlantic perspective and pleads for the inclusion of transnational black agency in the analysis of the construction of nago purity. Alejandro Frigerio emphasizes in his studies of (re)africanization and antisyncretism, the aspect of individual conversion processes, while Reginaldo Prandi examines the recent transformations in the context of an analysis of the religious market. Searching for a multifaceted comprehension of the phenomenon, the article concludes by proposing the elaboration of a plural analytic perspective capable of integrating the merits of each of the four approaches.

Fundamentos das políticas de ação afirmativa etnicorracial no ensino superior

This article aims to contextualize the educational affirmative action policies for ethnic racial groups in Brazilian legal system, present the main philosophical fundamentals that support these educational policies and discuss the validity of those fundamentals. In the legal context, the principle of substantive equality and the fundamental objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil, positivised in the Constitution of 1988, as well as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, allow the implementation of these policies. The philosophical fundamentals presented in this article are the thesis of compensatory justice and the thesis of distributive justice. The thesis of distributive justice has been refuted by logical legal arguments and by analysis of the right to higher education positivised in the Constitution. The thesis of compensatory justice has been considered a valid argument to support affirmative action policies, due to historical facts and sociological factors existing in the Brazilian context. It is concluded that the affirmative action policies for ethnic racial groups should be part of the Brazilian social policies, but these affirmative action policies should not invade the context of higher education, since the intended purposes are unrelated to this.
