PERCURSOS INDIVIDUAIS EM CONEXÃO À AÇÕES CORPÓREAS NA EDUCAÇÃO ESPECIAL

This paper reports the impressions of the final activity Performance and Performativity discipline in the contemporary scene performed in the professional master's degree in Arts (Prof. Arts) in UFU. Bring the construction and deconstruction in related research experiences in progress made in transit through space, reliving stages of life in our memories, with objects, narratives, plastic elements along with the studies and artistic practices that have led us to bodily actions to art teaching and learning with students with special educational needs. The group intended to embody the path of experiences from childhood to the present day, as well as the body's relations with the seasons perceived at the time, related to the daily work with the individual academic research. During the process the body also happens to experience the "do plastic" that envisions the construction of images to "drift", which leads all the aesthetic experience of the performance. The element "drift" becomes something fluid accompanying performative activity of the group producing marks, symbols and impressions which are completed at the end of the presentation. This process during the studies resulted in a performance presented disassembly bodily to the entire class. The possibility of understanding of other people's limitations is revealed in our own inferring trajectory positively as they seek the best ways to overcome. Plastic work with drawings and paintings, gives meaning to reports, contributing visually with tangible actions, integrated into the scenario of removal, widening the path of understanding opportunities related research.O presente trabalho relata as impressões da atividade final da disciplina Performance e Performatividade na cena contemporânea realizada no mestrado profissional em Artes (Prof. Artes) na UFU. Trazer a construção e desconstrução em experiências vinculadas à pesquisa em andamento nos fez transitar pelo espaço, revivenciando as etapas da vida em nossas memórias, com os objetos, narrativas, elementos plásticos juntamente com os estudos e práticas artísticas que nos conduziram a ações corporais voltadas para o ensino e aprendizagem da arte com alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais. O grupo teve a intenção de corporificar o trajeto de experiências desde a infância até os dias atuais, bem como, as relações do corpo com as estações do ano percebidas no momento, relacionado ao cotidiano profissional com a pesquisa acadêmica individual. Durante o processo com o corpo, acontece também a experiência do “fazer plástico†que vislumbra a construção de imagens a “derivaâ€, o qual conduz toda a experiência estética da performance. O elemento “a deriva†se torna algo fluidor que acompanha a atividade performática do grupo produzindo marcas, símbolos e impressões onde são concluídos ao final da apresentação. Esse processo durante os estudos resultou em uma desmontagem performática apresentada corporalmente para toda a classe. A possibilidade de compreensão das limitações alheias se revela em nossa própria trajetória inferindo de forma positiva a medida que buscamos os melhores caminhos para a superação. O trabalho plástico com desenhos e pinturas, atribui significado aos relatos, contribuindo visualmente com as ações corpóreas, integrado ao cenário da desmontagem, alargando as possibilidades de entendimento do percurso relacionados a pesquisa

Pedagogical practices in movement in school inclusion

This article presents my pedagogical proposal for the teaching of art to students with disabilities, having the floor as a mobilizing element. It begins with a reflection on the initial formation, the continued formation and the pedagogical praxis, indicating the search for pedagogical paths in visual arts and in art therapy. I show the construction of artistic practices, with the presentation of a bodywork process involving students with disabilities, in a process that mobilizes the power of movement in bodies active for learning in art. The practice is thought of in my professional / personal trajectory and contextualized in art education, special education and inclusive school, through close relation ship with experience, autobiography and body sensitization. The focus of the propositions is on the activity with students with disabilities in the scope of corporal expression. Reflexive analysis is anchored by research on expressive body movement in studies related to the teaching of art and to the field of art therapy and somatic education. I present a descriptive and reflective memorial about teacher education in pedagogical practices in the context of art teaching and inclusive education. The procedures developed in the workshops with the group of students with disabilities is analysis based on the experiences of enhancement of the movement through the awareness of the body within the body expression. Finally, I theoretically emphasized the ground as one of the mobilizing body elements to potentiate the body's expressive movement articulated in practices with the students in otherness.Dissertação (Mestrado)Este artigo apresenta minha proposta pedagógica para o ensino de arte a alunos com deficiência, tendo o chão como elemento mobilizador. Parte de uma reflexão sobre minha formação inicial, a formação continuada e a práxis pedagógica, indicando a busca por caminhos pedagógicos em artes visuais e em arteterapia. Mostro a construção de práticas artísticas, com a apresentação de um processo de trabalho corporal envolvendo estudantes com deficiência, em um processo que mobiliza a potência do movimento em corpos ativos para a aprendizagem na arte. A prática é aqui pensada na minha trajetória profissional/pessoal e contextualizada no ensino da arte, na educação especial e na escola inclusiva, mediante estreita relação com a experiência, a autobiografia e a sensibilização corporal. O foco das proposições está na atividade com alunos com deficiência no âmbito da expressão corporal. A análise reflexiva é ancorada por pesquisas sobre o movimento corporal expressivo em estudos relacionados ao ensino da ate e ao campo da arteterapia e da educação somática. Apresento um memorial descritivo e reflexivo sobre a formação docente em práticas pedagógicas no contexto do ensino da arte e da educação inclusiva. Analiso os procedimentos desenvolvidos nas oficinas com o grupo de alunos com deficiência, que constituem experiências de potencialização do movimento pela conscientização do corpo dentro da expressão corporal. Por fim, ressalto teoricamente o chão como um dos elementos corporais mobilizadores para potencializar o movimento expressivo corporal articulado em práticas com os alunos na alteridade

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Global variation in postoperative mortality and complications after cancer surgery: a multicentre, prospective cohort study in 82 countries

© 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. This is an Open Access article under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licenseBackground: 80% of individuals with cancer will require a surgical procedure, yet little comparative data exist on early outcomes in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared postoperative outcomes in breast, colorectal, and gastric cancer surgery in hospitals worldwide, focusing on the effect of disease stage and complications on postoperative mortality. Methods: This was a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of consecutive adult patients undergoing surgery for primary breast, colorectal, or gastric cancer requiring a skin incision done under general or neuraxial anaesthesia. The primary outcome was death or major complication within 30 days of surgery. Multilevel logistic regression determined relationships within three-level nested models of patients within hospitals and countries. Hospital-level infrastructure effects were explored with three-way mediation analyses. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03471494. Findings: Between April 1, 2018, and Jan 31, 2019, we enrolled 15 958 patients from 428 hospitals in 82 countries (high income 9106 patients, 31 countries; upper-middle income 2721 patients, 23 countries; or lower-middle income 4131 patients, 28 countries). Patients in LMICs presented with more advanced disease compared with patients in high-income countries. 30-day mortality was higher for gastric cancer in low-income or lower-middle-income countries (adjusted odds ratio 3·72, 95% CI 1·70–8·16) and for colorectal cancer in low-income or lower-middle-income countries (4·59, 2·39–8·80) and upper-middle-income countries (2·06, 1·11–3·83). No difference in 30-day mortality was seen in breast cancer. The proportion of patients who died after a major complication was greatest in low-income or lower-middle-income countries (6·15, 3·26–11·59) and upper-middle-income countries (3·89, 2·08–7·29). Postoperative death after complications was partly explained by patient factors (60%) and partly by hospital or country (40%). The absence of consistently available postoperative care facilities was associated with seven to 10 more deaths per 100 major complications in LMICs. Cancer stage alone explained little of the early variation in mortality or postoperative complications. Interpretation: Higher levels of mortality after cancer surgery in LMICs was not fully explained by later presentation of disease. The capacity to rescue patients from surgical complications is a tangible opportunity for meaningful intervention. Early death after cancer surgery might be reduced by policies focusing on strengthening perioperative care systems to detect and intervene in common complications.

Effects of hospital facilities on patient outcomes after cancer surgery: an international, prospective, observational study

© 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. This is an Open Access article under the CC BY 4.0 licenseBackground: Early death after cancer surgery is higher in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with in high-income countries, yet the impact of facility characteristics on early postoperative outcomes is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the association between hospital infrastructure, resource availability, and processes on early outcomes after cancer surgery worldwide. Methods: A multimethods analysis was performed as part of the GlobalSurg 3 study—a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study of patients who had surgery for breast, colorectal, or gastric cancer. The primary outcomes were 30-day mortality and 30-day major complication rates. Potentially beneficial hospital facilities were identified by variable selection to select those associated with 30-day mortality. Adjusted outcomes were determined using generalised estimating equations to account for patient characteristics and country-income group, with population stratification by hospital. Findings: Between April 1, 2018, and April 23, 2019, facility-level data were collected for 9685 patients across 238 hospitals in 66 countries (91 hospitals in 20 high-income countries; 57 hospitals in 19 upper-middle-income countries; and 90 hospitals in 27 low-income to lower-middle-income countries). The availability of five hospital facilities was inversely associated with mortality: ultrasound, CT scanner, critical care unit, opioid analgesia, and oncologist. After adjustment for case-mix and country income group, hospitals with three or fewer of these facilities (62 hospitals, 1294 patients) had higher mortality compared with those with four or five (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3·85 [95% CI 2·58–5·75]; p<0·0001), with excess mortality predominantly explained by a limited capacity to rescue following the development of major complications (63·0% vs 82·7%; OR 0·35 [0·23–0·53]; p<0·0001). Across LMICs, improvements in hospital facilities would prevent one to three deaths for every 100 patients undergoing surgery for cancer. Interpretation: Hospitals with higher levels of infrastructure and resources have better outcomes after cancer surgery, independent of country income. Without urgent strengthening of hospital infrastructure and resources, the reductions in cancer-associated mortality associated with improved access will not be realised.
