O PIBID de Educação FÃsica da UEM-PR: uma reflexão com a prática escolar
Este artigo busca analisar a prática escolar na proposta de ensino do PIBID Educação FÃsica da UEM-PR (2014-2017). Esta pesquisa documental analisou os planos de aula objetivados pelos Pibidianos para o 8º ano de uma escola pública estadual na cidade de Maringá-PR, por meio da técnica de interpretação hermenêutica-dialética. Concluiu-se que os pressupostos teóricos norteadores da prática escolar contribuÃram com a formação inicial dos Pibidianos, na medida em que possibilitaram aproximar a teoria da prática escolar objetivada numa Perspectiva CrÃtico-Superadora, fundamentada na tendência Pedagógica Histórico-CrÃtica e na concepção de desenvolvimento humano da Teoria Histórico-Cultural
Anaerobic And Aerobic Performances In Elite Basketball Players.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO PROPOSE A SPECIFIC LACTATE MINIMUM TEST FOR ELITE BASKETBALL PLAYERS CONSIDERING THE: Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) as a hyperlactatemia inductor, short distances (specific distance, 20 m) during progressive intensity and mathematical analysis to interpret aerobic and anaerobic variables. The basketball players were assigned to four groups: All positions (n=26), Guard (n= 7), Forward (n=11) and Center (n=8). The hyperlactatemia elevation (RAST) method consisted of 6 maximum sprints over 35 m separated by 10 s of recovery. The progressive phase of the lactate minimum test consisted of 5 stages controlled by an electronic metronome (8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0 km/h) over a 20 m distance. The RAST variables and the lactate values were analyzed using visual and mathematical models. The intensity of the lactate minimum test, determined by a visual method, reduced in relation to polynomial fits (2nd degree) for the Small Forward positions and General groups. The Power and Fatigue Index values, determined by both methods, visual and 3rd degree polynomial, were not significantly different between the groups. In conclusion, the RAST is an excellent hyperlactatemia inductor and the progressive intensity of lactate minimum test using short distances (20 m) can be specifically used to evaluate the aerobic capacity of basketball players. In addition, no differences were observed between the visual and polynomial methods for RAST variables, but lactate minimum intensity was influenced by the method of analysis.42137-4
Emergency removal of transplanted graft due to the failure of clinical treatment of serious acute rejection in case of small bowel transplantation: case report
Introduction: Intestinal transplantation is a complex procedure that has become more common in recent years. It can be performed isolated or with other organs of the digestive tract, which characterizes a multivisceral transplantation. Its indication mainly involves patients with irreversible intestinal failure, submitted or not to an enterectomy, and who have complications from parenteral nutrition. Among the main difficulties after transplantation is the immunosuppressive therapy, since the small intestine is an extremely immunogenic organ. Insufficient immunosuppression may cause graft rejection, but excessive immunosuppression may lead to Graft vs. Host Disease, where the intestine’s own immune cells attack Host organs. In Brazil, however, the practical experience with this type of surgery and with the management of immunosuppressive therapy is restricted because of the reduced number of small bowel transplants performed. Objective: To report a case of small bowel transplantation with graft rejection and necessity of surgical removal of the graft. Case Report: A male patient, 21 years old, presented a complicated acute appendicitis in July 2015, being submitted to appendectomy and right colectomy. After the operation, he developed thrombosis and intestinal infarction. This complication affected more than 90% of the patient’s small bowel, requiring extensive enterectomy. The patient developed short bowel syndrome and relied on parenteral nutrition. After 7 months in the home parenteral nutrition regimen, the patient underwent small bowel transplantation due to complications of parenteral nutrition. Immunosuppressive therapy was based on the use of tacrolimus. The patient presented no intercurrences until the 6th postoperative month, when he developed systemic histoplasmosis, staying 33 days in the intensive care unit. He presented resolution of the condition with itraconazole. At the 18th postoperative month, he was admitted with fever and intense diarrhea. The ileoscopy examination showed intestinal ulcers and loss of villi. Graft biopsies were consistent with severe acute T cell mediated rejection. The patient was transferred to our institution to treat the rejection. The combined use of increased tacrolimus, pulse therapy with methylprednisolone, use of thymoglobulin and use of monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor alpha were not effective. The patient`s general condition deteriorated and he had to be submitted to urgent removal of the transplanted graft. The patient returned to the parenteral nutrition regimen and underwent reconstruction of the digestive tract with anastomosis between jejunum and transverse colon 5 months after grafting. Currently, he is in outpatient follow-up using home parenteral nutrition
Adaptation of invasive and non-invasive protocols to aerobic and anaerobic specific evaluation in female basketball players
OBJECTIVE: To adapted the critical velocity (CV), RAST test and lactate minimum (LM) to evaluation of female basketball players. METHODS: Twelve well-trained female basketball players (19 ± 1yrs) were submitted to four intensities running (10 - 14 km/h) at shuttle exercise until exhaustion, applied on alternate days. The linear model 'velocity vs. 1/tlim' was adopted to determine the aerobic (CV) and anaerobic (CCA) parameters. The lactate minimum test consisted of two phases: 1) hiperlactatemia induction using the RAST test and 2) incremental test composed by five shuttle run (20-m) at 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 km/h. Blood samples were collected at the end of each stage. RESULTS: The velocity (vLM) and blood lactate concentration at LM were obtained by two polynomial adjustments: lactate vs. intensity (LM1) and lactate vs. time (LM2). ANOVA one-way, Student t-test and Pearson correlation were used for statistical analysis. The CV was obtained at 10.3 ± 0.2 km/h and the CCA estimated at 73.0 ± 3.4 m. The RAST was capable to induce the hiperlactatemia and to determine the Pmax (3.6 ± 0.2 W/kg), Pmed (2.8 ± 0.1 W/kg), Pmin (2.3 ± 0.1 W/kg) and FI (30 ± 3%). The vLM1 and vLM2 were obtained, respectively, at 9.47 ±0.13 km/h and 9.8 ± 0.13 km/h, and CV was higher than vLM1. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the non-invasive model can be used to determine the aerobic and anaerobic parameters. Furthermore, the LM test adapted to basketball using RAST and progressive phase was effective to evaluate female athletes considering the specificity of modality, with high success rates observed in polynomial adjustment 'lactate vs. time' (LM2).OBJETIVO: Adaptar os protocolos de velocidade crÃtica (Vcrit), RAST Test e Lactato MÃnimo (LM) à especificidade do basquetebol feminino. MÉTODOS: Doze basquetebolistas bem treinadas (19 ± 1 anos) foram avaliadas pelo modelo velocidade crÃtica, composto por quatro intensidades (10,8, 12,0, 13,0, 14,5 km/h) de corridas vai-vem até exaustão, aplicadas em dias alternados. O modelo linear 'velocidade versus 1/tlim' foi adotado para determinação de parâmetros aeróbio (Vcrit) e anaeróbio (CCA). O LM foi composto por duas fases: 1) indução hiperlactacidêmica, caracterizada pelo RAST adaptado, e 2) fase progressiva, composta por cinco estágios de 3 minutos em corridas vai-vem de 20 m (7 a 12km/h), com coletas de sangue ao final de cada estágio. RESULTADOS: A velocidade (vLM) e a concentração do lactato mÃnimo foram obtidas pelos ajustes polinomiais 'lactato versus intensidade' (LM1) e 'lactato versus tempo' (LM2). A ANOVA one-way, teste t-Student e correlação de Pearson foram utilizados na análise estatÃstica. A Vcrit foi obtida a 10,3 ± 0,2 km/h e a CCA estimada em 73,0 ± 3,4 m. O RAST foi capaz de induzir a hiperlactacidemia e determinar potências máxima (3,6 ± 0,2 W/kg), média (2,8 ± 0,1 W/kg), mÃnima (2,3 ± 0,1W/kg) e o Ãndice de fadiga (30 ± 3%). A vLM1 e vLM2 foram obtidas, respectivamente, a 9,47 ± 0,13 e 9,8 ± 0,13km/h, sendo a vLM1 menor que a Vcrit. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados sugerem que o modelo especÃfico não invasivo pode ser utilizado para determinar parâmetros aeróbios e anaeróbios de basquetebolistas e, assim como em outras modalidades, a Vcrit superestima as intensidades de LM. Além disso, a adaptação do LM ao basquetebol feminino utilizando o RAST e a fase progressiva em exercÃcio vai-vem foi efetiva para avaliar as atletas respeitando a especificidade da modalidade, com elevado percentual de sucesso no ajuste polinomial 'lactato versus tempo'.17117
Adaptação de protocolos invasivos e não invasivos para avaliações aeróbias e anaeróbias especÃficas ao basquetebol feminino
Analysis of the chlorine consumption for oxidation of the cyanobacteria species Microcystis aeruginosa
This study evaluated the chlorine consumption of the Microcystis aeruginosa species present in blooms in water supply sources, since the legislation requires the minimum maintenance of free residual chlorine should be 0.2 mg.L-1 or 2 mg.L-1 of combined residual chlorine and a residue from 3 to 5 mg.L-1 after 7 days. Chlorine gas analyzes were performed in laboratory scale: 8 dosages for 30 minutes and 24 hours tests and 7 dosages for 7 days. The results showed high chlorine consumption, what can be related to by-products formation of chlorination in the water treatment

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests.
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence of monodominance in a massive, basin-wide database of forest-inventory plots from the Amazon Tree Diversity Network (ATDN). Utilizing a simple defining metric of at least half of the trees ≥ 10 cm diameter belonging to one species, we found only a few occurrences of monodominance in Amazonia, and the phenomenon was not significantly linked to previously hypothesized life history traits such wood density, seed mass, ectomycorrhizal associations, or Rhizobium nodulation. In our analysis, coppicing (the formation of sprouts at the base of the tree or on roots) was the only trait significantly linked to monodominance. While at specific locales coppicing or ectomycorrhizal associations may confer a considerable advantage to a tree species and lead to its monodominance, very few species have these traits. Mining of the ATDN dataset suggests that monodominance is quite rare in Amazonia, and may be linked primarily to edaphic factors
Tool wear in dry helical milling for hole-making in AISI H13 hardened steel
Helical milling is a hole-making process which can be applied to achieve high-quality finished boreholes in hardened steels. Due to the drilling process limitations, which are intensified when applied in hardened steels, the helical milling process can be applied on hole-making tasks in moulds and dies industry, since milling have been widely applied in moulds and dies machining to replace high-cost operations like grinding and electrical discharge machining. However, to succeed in achieving high-quality boreholes in hardened parts, which presents high added value due to previous operations, tool wear in the helical milling of hardened steels should be more investigated. In the present study, dry helical milling tool life tests were conducted in AISI H13 hardened steel parts, varying the cutting velocity. The flank wear on frontal cutting edges was progressively measured through optical microscopy, and SEM/EDS was performed in frontal and peripheral worn cutting edges. The wear occurred progressively in the flank of the frontal cutting edges with adhesion and oxidation as main wear mechanisms. In the peripheral edges, coating loss, and adhesion of workpiece material in the tool clearance surface were observed, besides fracture in the tool nose flank with the highest cutting velocity. A nested ANOVA was performed to evaluate the burr height in the borehole exit. The tool life stage was statistically significant in the burr height.publishe
