Autoeficácia para a prática de atividade física por indivíduos adultos

Self-efficacy to regular practice of physical activity (PA) can be defined as the ability to keep practicing exercises even with some obstacles that could appear. It is constituted through the influence of 4 main sources: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion and physiological and affective states. The aim of the study was to measure the level of self-efficacy to the regular practice of PA, its construction sources and correlate the level of self-efficacy with each one of the sources. An amount of 196 practitioners of PA took part in this study. The results showed that the level of self-efficacy was 111.19 points in scale that can range from 18 to 162 points. The most prominent source in the construction of self-efficacy was the social persuasion, with an average of 27.64 points in scale that can range from 4 to 36 points. For the correlations, it was used the Pearson coefficient (r). Mastery experiences stood out among the other sources (r = .30). The results agree with the literature, establishing the importance of the encouragement of close people in the maintenance of the behavior to practice PA, as well as to observe positive models, success experiences and feel comfortable during the exercises. © FTCD/FIP-MOC.

Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002, s 32 - Duty to Disclose - consequences of non-disclosure - discretion to excuse non-compliance

In Newson v Aust Scan Pty Ltd t/a Ikea Springwood [2010] QSC 223 the Supreme Court examined the discretion under s 32(2) of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld), to permit a document which has not been disclosed as required by the pre-court procedures under the PIPA to be used in a subsequent court proceeding. This appears to be the first time that the nature and parameters of the discretion have been judicially considered.

Cerebral cortex activation mapping upon electrical muscle stimulation by 32-channel time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy

The application of different EMS current thresholds on muscle activates not only the muscle but also peripheral sensory axons that send proprioceptive and pain signals to the cerebral cortex. A 32-channel time-domain fNIRS instrument was employed to map regional cortical activities under varied EMS current intensities applied on the right wrist extensor muscle. Eight healthy volunteers underwent four EMS at different current thresholds based on their individual maximal tolerated intensity (MTI), i.e., 10 % < 50 % < 100 % < over 100 % MTI. Time courses of the absolute oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentrations primarily over the bilateral sensorimotor cortical (SMC) regions were extrapolated, and cortical activation maps were determined by general linear model using the NIRS-SPM software. The stimulation-induced wrist extension paradigm significantly increased activation of the contralateral SMC region according to the EMS intensities, while the ipsilateral SMC region showed no significant changes. This could be due in part to a nociceptive response to the higher EMS current intensities and result also from increased sensorimotor integration in these cortical regions.

Vibrational spectroscopic study of the sulphate mineral glaucocerinite (Zn,Cu)10Al6(SO4)3(OH)32⋅18H2O – a natural layered double hydroxide

We have studied the molecular structure of the mineral glaucocerinite (Zn,Cu)5Al3(SO4)1.5(OH)16�9(H2O) using a combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The mineral is one of the hydrotalcite supergroup of natural layered double hydroxides. The Raman spectrum is characterised by an intense Raman band at 982 cm�1 with a low intensity band at 1083 cm�1. These bands are attributed to the sulphate symmetric and antisymmetric stretching mode. The infrared spectrum is quite broad with a peak at 1020 cm�1. A series of Raman bands at 546, 584, 602, 625 and 651 cm�1 are assigned to the m4 (SO4)2� bending modes. The observation of multiple bands provides evidence for the reduction in symmetry of the sulphate anion from Td to C2v or even lower symmetry. The Raman band at 762 cm�1 is attributed to a hydroxyl deformation mode associated with AlOH units. Vibrational spectroscopy enables aspects of the molecular structure of glaucocerinite to be determined.

Improved linear cryptanalysis of reduced-round SIMON-32 and SIMON-48

In this paper we analyse two variants of SIMON family of light-weight block ciphers against variants of linear cryptanalysis and present the best linear cryptanalytic results on these variants of reduced-round SIMON to date. We propose a time-memory trade-off method that finds differential/linear trails for any permutation allowing low Hamming weight differential/linear trails. Our method combines low Hamming weight trails found by the correlation matrix representing the target permutation with heavy Hamming weight trails found using a Mixed Integer Programming model representing the target differential/linear trail. Our method enables us to find a 17-round linear approximation for SIMON-48 which is the best current linear approximation for SIMON-48. Using only the correlation matrix method, we are able to find a 14-round linear approximation for SIMON-32 which is also the current best linear approximation for SIMON-32. The presented linear approximations allow us to mount a 23-round key recovery attack on SIMON-32 and a 24-round Key recovery attack on SIMON-48/96 which are the current best results on SIMON-32 and SIMON-48. In addition we have an attack on 24 rounds of SIMON-32 with marginal complexity.

Efecto de concentraciones de aceite de algodón sobre la viabilidad, patogenicidad, estabilidad de la cepa CB-32 de Beauveria bassiana (Bals y vuils)

En Nicaragua, Plutella xylostella es la plaga que causa mayores daños al cultivo de repollo (Brassica oleracea) lo que implica una gran inversión en el control de la misma. Para contribuir a la búsqueda de alternativas para el Manejo integrado de esta plaga se realizó este estudio en las instalaciones del Centro Nacional de Protección Vegetal (CENAPROVE) y en la Universidad Nacional Agraria durante el periodo comprendido entre Febrero 1991 y Febrero 1992. Se evaluó la Cepa CB-32 del hongo entomopatógeno Beauveria bassiana (Bals & Vuils) en 6 formulaciones conteniendo 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%. 8% y 10% de aceite de algodón en agua sobre larvas del segundo instar de P. xylostella. La concentración de conidias en las formulaciones fué de 3.35x108 En un rango de tiempo de 14-30 horas después de la inoculación en PDA se distinguieron con un mayor porcentaje de germinación de conidias las formulaciones con O y 2% de aceite de algodón. Las mismas demostraron mayor sedimentación reportando 0.2 y 0.5 ml seis horas después de ser sometidas a reposo. Para la evaluación del efecto de la radiación solar sobre las conidias de B. bassiana se realizó un análisis de varianza y pruebas de Tukey con un 95% de confianza, las respaldan que las formulaciones pueden separarse en cuatro categorías estadísticas diferentes de las cuales en primer lugar tenemos las formulaciones con O y 2% de aceite que presentan el mayor porcentaje de germinación de conidias expuestas a 24 horas de radiación solar (86.61% y 80.36%) respectivamente. A la variable patogenicidad de las conidias de B. bassiana en huésped de Plutella xylostella se efectúo un análisis de varianza y prueba de Tuckey y resulto que las formulaciones pueden clasificarse en 3 categorías estadísticas, sobresaliendo la patogenicidad de las conidias de las formulaciones con O y 2% de aceite reportando 95 y 80% respectivamente. El tiempo letal para las formulaciones no varió provocando la mortalidad dos días después de la inoculación de las larvas por el método de inmersión.
