Men’s artistic gymnastics: is the use of elastic surfaces systematic in the training process?

Em alguns esportes, o espaço de jogo representa o componente sistêmico de maior relevância: esse é o caso da Ginástica Artística (GA). Desse modo, quando nos empenhamos em compreender a lógica interna dessa modalidade precisamos dedicar especial atenção à relação ginasta-aparelho. Observamos uma mudança no paradigma de treinamento em que o uso das Superfícies Elásticas constitui um componente essencial, visando atender às características contemporâneas desse esporte, como a hipervalorização das acrobacias e a maior presença dos elementos ginásticos com “fase aérea”. Nessa oportunidade, analisamos, a partir de estudo de caso de um ginásio de treinamento de alto rendimento de Ginástica Artística Masculina, o emprego de diferentes Superfícies Elásticas (SpE) na preparação dos ginastas. Embora os treinadores reconheçam o papel fundamental das SpE para o desenvolvimento dos ginastas, seu uso cotidiano ainda é restrito a poucos equipamentos e realizado de modo assistemático. Essas dificuldades se devem principalmente à ausência de programas formativos que desenvolvam metodologias específicas e à inexistência de fornecedores de equipamentos nacionais com qualidade certificada pela Federação Internacional de Ginástica.In Artistic Gymnastics, the area (the apparatus) represents the most relevant systemic component. Thus, when one strives to comprehend the internal logic of this sport, the gymnast-apparatus relationship warrants special attention. A change in the training paradigm was observed, showing that the use of Elastic Surfaces (ES) is an essential resource, due to the contemporary features of this sport, such as the hyper-valorisation of acrobatics and a greater presence of flight elements. Through a case study developed in a men’s artistic gymnastics high-performance gymnasium, this study analysed the use of different ES in the training process. Although coaches recognize the importance of ES in training programs, the record of daily activities showed that this use is still limited to select equipment and is not systematic. Such difficulties are due mainly to the lack of educational programs to the development of certain specific methodologies and the non-existence of national equipment suppliers certified by International Gymnastics Federation

RESPONSABILIDADE SOCIAL OU ESTRATÉGIA DE RESPONSABILIDADE SOCIAL EMPRESARIAL NA EDUCAÇÃO?

Tendo como pressuposto básico que as instituições de ensino superior têm como função básica, a promoção de um bem social chamado educação, seria razoável admitir que ao fazer isso simplesmente, as IES dariam sentido a sua razão de ser e consequentemente, já cumpririam cabalmente com o sentido lato do termo “responsabilidade social”. Com essa argumentação, parece não haver sentido a institucionalização dessa dimensão, já que ser socialmente responsável para uma instituição de ensino deve ser subjacente à sua própria natureza, o que torna redundante qualquer reprodução nessa direção. As sinalizações apontadas neste trabalho, mesmo ainda necessitando de aprofundamento teórico e empírico, parecem ir na direção contrária às argumentações de Faria; Sauerbronn (2008) de que a responsabilidade social empresarial e a área de estratégia não são legitimadas pelo Estado, mas apenas pelas grandes empresas. Ao que tudo indica, esse é não é o caso das Instituições de Ensino Superior brasileiras, quando por força da regulamentação do SINAES, passam a desenvolver ações sob o pretexto da responsabilidade social, que mais assemelham-se a recursos estratégicos e políticos de grandes corporações

LA PERICIA MÉDICO LEGAL COMO FORMA DE PRODUCIR LA VERDAD Y SUS ADVERSARIOS EN LOS TRIBUNALES BRASILEÑOS DE ENTREGUERRAS

The medico-legal examination ensured the existence and the social impact of the biological positivist approaches to criminology that gained influence in Brazil during the interwar period. This examination turned scientific knowledge into accepted and acceptable documents that were also intelligible and useful. Examinations were social currencies used to facilitate the relationship between the power and knowledge of legal medicine and criminology. They disciplined the relationship between law and medicine and made feasible the power of judging. However, along the way they had to assert themselves against other traditions and knowledge. Their main opponents were the information obtained by the police from an offense or crime suspect through coercion, especially by means of torture; the decisions made by the jury and the evidence obtained from witnesses; and the delinquent's knowledge. What all these forms of truth production had in common was their non-expert origin, which became the main argument of forensic medical examiners against them.The aim of this article is to discuss the dispute over the prerogatives to produce the truth in institutional spaces that dealt with combating antisocial acts, and to point out the medico-scientific strategies used to prevail over the lay forms present in that shared environment.Universidade Federal de São Paulo, UNIFESP, São Paulo, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, UNIFESP, São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc

An Axiomatic Design interpretation for the synthesis of dimensional tolerances

Synthesizing dimensional tolerances of mechanical systems involves finding the values of the allowable variation of the functional dimensions. According to Axiomatic Design, the synthesis of mechanical tolerances can be described as a redundant decoupled design. This is why experienced engineers are proficient in solving this kind of problems, even if they never heard about Axiomatic Design and about the independence axiom. This paper presents an Axiomatic Design interpretation for the synthesis of dimensional tolerances. This interpretation shows that the traditional method for solving this class of problems implicitly obeys the independence and the minimum information axioms. (C) 2016 The Authors.

The influence of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on the chemical composition and antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory capacities of carob liqueurs obtained with different elaboration techniques

Carob liqueur is a traditional Mediterranean alcoholic beverage obtained via a wide range of production techniques contributing to the different organoleptic attributes of the final product. The aim of this research was to evaluate the stability of the chemical composition and biological capacities (antioxidant and enzyme inhibition) under in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion of liqueurs prepared by flavouring the fig spirit with carob pulp by maceration, distillation, percolation, or aqueous and hydro-alcoholic infusions. For this purpose, the phenolic and furanic compositions, the total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents, antioxidant capacity (AC), and enzyme inhibitory potential against acethylcholinesterase, tyrosinase, α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes were evaluated. The content of gallic acid decreased after gastrointestinal digestion, while TPC, TFC, and AC significantly increased after each digestion phase. Overall, no significantly different enzyme inhibitions (p < 0.05) were observed among digested liqueurs, with moderate inhibition against acethylcholinesterase and tyrosinase (enzymes related with neurodegenerative diseases), and potent and low inhibitory capacities for α-glucosidase and α-amylase, respectively (ideal conditions employed in antidiabetic therapy). The study indicates that hydro-alcoholic infusion and maceration were the most appropriate methods to obtain liqueurs with higher values of the aforementioned parameters and safe levels of toxic furanics.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.: SFRH/BPD/103086/2014; DL 57/2016/CP1361/CT0022; project INTERREG-MD.NET: When Brand Meets Peopleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Actividades circenses y Educación Física : Cuerpo, arte y escuela

Durante las dos últimas décadas, se puede comprobar en la Educación Física un crecimiento exponencial en el tratamiento de las Actividades Circenses como contenido programático, con un consecuente aumento de la producción académica. Analizando dicha producción observamos que el número de "relatos de experiencia" demuestra que el intercambio entre estas dos áreas es real y cada vez más frecuente a uno y otro lado del océano. En este sentido, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo conocer en profundidad, mediante una investigación de campo, cómo estas actividades están siendo puestas en práctica en una escuela de la ciudad de Campinas (Brasil) contrastando las experiencias con la literatura especializada en la temátic
