Positive And Negative Effects Of Inclusive Education On Social Development For Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Literature Review

This research reviewed available literature on the positive and negative effects of educational inclusion on social development for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorder is a spectrum of disorders characterized by deficits in social skills and nonverbal behaviors. With the prevalence of ASD steadily increasing, students with ASD are more frequently being placed in inclusive education classrooms among their peers without ASD. Research studies conveyed that positive inclusion harbors social inclusion, trained educators and cooperation from peers who are non-disabled. Other studies conveyed that inclusion can be detrimental to a student with ASD’s social development and success. Results of this literature review suggests that there are several supports required within an inclusive education environment in order for social developmental progress to be made for students with ASD

Stress distribution in fixed mandibular prostheses fabricated by CAD/CAM and conventional techniques : photoelastic and strain gauge analyses

The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of stress in complete fixed mandibular prostheses with infrastructures (IE) fabricated with different materials and techniques, under compressive force. A model of an edentulous mandible, which received five 4x11 mm external hexagon implants between the mental foramens, was fabricated. The groups were divided into: Group I - IE in nickel-chromium with an acrylic resin occlusal coating; Group II ? IE in nickel-chromium with a ceramic occlusal coating; Group III ? IE milled in zirconia with a ceramic coating. For the photoelastic methodology, 70 N axial loads were applied in three regions. Photographic images were taken and analyzed according to the number of high-intensity fringes. For the strain gauge methodology, the measurement of stresses was performed in two distinct regions. The same compression tests described earlier were then performed. The registered stress values were grouped in tables and submitted to two-factor variance analysis (ANOVA) and the Tukey test with 5% significance. The results of the two methodologies demonstrated smaller stress values for Group I, when compared to the other groups. It was possible to conclude that the complete fixed prostheses, with infrastructures cast in metal and acrylic occlusal coating, demonstrated better biomechanical results

Dynamic UCLA for single tilted implant in an aesthetic region

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this paper was to present a rehabilitation of a patient with a dynamic universal castable long abutment (UCLA) for a single tilted implant in the anterior maxillary area.Presentation of caseA 57-year-old male patient attended the dentistry college clinic complaining of a vertical fracture of a residual root of the dental element 22. The tooth extraction was indicated for the implant installation. Due to the socket buccal wall thickness, the implant was installed with an inclination to the palate. It was done in a two-stage surgical protocol, and an external hexagon implant (3.75×11.5mm) was placed. After a six-month healing period to correct the implant position, a dynamic UCLA was set in place, rectifying the implant emergence profile at 20°. The ceramic structure fitting was performed and, after the patient’s consent, the prosthesis was finalized and installed.DiscussionAfter a follow-up period of twenty months, no complications were observed.ConclusionThe installation of tilted implants with a dynamic UCLA may be a viable option, faster and less invasive than bone grafts

Masticatory efficiency, bite force and electrical activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles in bodybuilders

This study aimed to compare the masticatory efficiency, the maximum voluntary occlusal bite force (MVOBF) and the electrical activity (EMG) of masticatory muscles of practitioners of upper limb bodybuilding before and after physical activity. Twenty he

Integration of genomic and other epidemiologic data to investigate and control a cross-institutional outbreak of Streptococcus pyogenes outbrea

Single-strain outbreaks of Streptococcus pyogenes infections are common and often go undetected. In 2013, two clusters of invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infection were identified in independent but closely located care homes in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Investigation included visits to each home, chart review, staff survey, microbiologic sampling, and genome sequencing. S. pyogenes emm type 1.0, the most common circulating type nationally, was identified from all cases yielding GAS isolates. A tailored whole-genome reference population comprising epidemiologically relevant contemporaneous isolates and published isolates was assembled. Data were analyzed independently using whole-genome multilocus sequencing and single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses. Six isolates from staff and residents of the homes formed a single cluster that was separated from the reference population by both analytical approaches. No further cases occurred after mass chemoprophylaxis and enhanced infection control. Our findings demonstrate the ability of 2 independent analytical approaches to enable robust conclusions from nonstandardized whole-genome analysis to support public health practice

A Palavra e a Imagem

Num quadro teórico-crítico, influenciado por teorias contemporâneas de classe, género e etnia, vamos considerar os confrontos entre culturas, materializados em diversas práticas discursivas e visuais, que estudaremos transdisciplinarmente, numa perspectiva formal e como documentos. São exemplos das referidas práticas, por um lado, a escrita jornalística, que as novas tecnologias estão a desenvolver exponencialmente, a ensaística, o conto, o relato de viagem e biográfico, o romance, o poema, o drama e, por outro lado, as múltiplas imagens em suporte digital, o design, a fotografia, o vídeo, o cinema, a arquitectura, a gravura. Os ensaios publicados avaliam os estudos da palavra, ou da imagem visual, ou das formas diferentes como elas interagem, em relação a temas cronologicamente localizados entre o século XVIII e o século XXI.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologi

AVALIAÇÃO EXPERIMENTAL DA EFICIÊNCIA NA RETENÇÃO DE SEDIMENTOS SÓLIDOS, EM UM RESERVATÓRIO SEPARADOR DE PRIMEIRAS ÁGUAS DA CHUVA

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma avaliação experimental de um reservatório de separação de primeiras águas (RSPA) para aproveitamento de água de chuva. Inicialmente, dimensionou-se de forma regionalizada o volume do RSPA, concebido a partir de uma vazão dada pela chuva de projeto, calculada pelo método racional. Em seguida, elaborou-se uma geometria para o RSPA, com o objetivo de avaliar de forma experimental a sua eficiência na retenção de material particulado (sedimentos). O RSPA foi fabricado com tubos e conexões de policloreto de vinila (PVC) em escala real e foi instalado em um sistema de alimentação em uma edificação de ensino. Para essa avaliação, produziram-se sedimentos a partir de um processo de peneiramento, utilizando-se peneiras com aberturas padronizadas. O experimento consistiu em aplicar no RSPA uma vazão correspondente à chuva de projeto com uma concentração de sedimentos, simulando as condições das primeiras águas de chuva. Durante o experimento, realizaram-se amostragens na saída do RSPA e avaliou-se sua eficiência na retenção dos sedimentos inseridos na massa líquida. Os resultados indicam que a geometria escolhida do RSPA foi eficiente do ponto de vista experimental para a retenção de sólidos, obtendo uma remoção de cerca de 70% do material particulado
