    Este artigo objetiva analisar as organizações praxeológicas matemática e didática referente ao estudo de números binários em uma coleção de livros didáticos de matemática do Ensino Fundamental. Primeiro se faz uma análise praxeológica matemática. Em seguida se analisa as organizações praxeológicas didáticas recorrendo aos critérios de avaliação praxeológica de Yves Chevallard. Não identifica estudo de sistema de numeração binário, mas sim o emprego do sistema numérico decimal nas unidades de medida da informática. Conclui que a coleção analisada caracteriza-se como uma praxeologia local. Identifica 6 tipos de tarefas, uma técnica implícita, uma única tecnologia e nenhuma teoria no volume 7 e 3 tipos de tarefas, uma técnica implícita, nenhuma tecnologia e nenhuma teoria no volume 8

    Sparse geometric graphs with small dilation

    Get PDF
    Given a set S of n points in R^D, and an integer k such that 0 <= k < n, we show that a geometric graph with vertex set S, at most n - 1 + k edges, maximum degree five, and dilation O(n / (k+1)) can be computed in time O(n log n). For any k, we also construct planar n-point sets for which any geometric graph with n-1+k edges has dilation Omega(n/(k+1)); a slightly weaker statement holds if the points of S are required to be in convex position

    MAPEAMENTO DE PATOLOGIAS EM SISTEMAS DE REVESTIMENTO CERÂMICO DE FACHADAS

    O estabelecimento do uso placas cerâmicas em revestimentos externos data do século XIII. Atualmente, o uso de revestimentos cerâmicos em fachadas está espalhado por todo o mundo e a principal causa desta extensiva utilização são suas propriedades e aspectos estéticos. Um desenho esquemático do sistema de revestimento cerâmico de fachada atualmente adotado no Brasil e bastante difundido no mundo está representado na Figura 1. É utilizado um sistema aderido no qual as placas cerâmicas são aplicadas utilizando argamassa colante industrializada sobre uma camada de argamassa de regularização (emboço), previamente executada sobre os elementos de concreto/aço e alvenarias que compõem, respectivamente, a parte estrutural e de vedação das edificações. As juntas entre as placas são preenchidas com argamassa de rejuntamento industrializada. Outros componentes importantes deste sistema são as juntas de movimentação, dessolidarização e estruturais projetadas para alívio das tensões acumuladas na edificação e no próprio sistema de revestimento

    Lead exposure in adult males in urban Transvaal Province, South Africa during the apartheid era

    Human exposure to lead is a substantial public health hazard worldwide and is particularly problematic in the Republic of South Africa given the country’s late cessation of leaded petrol. Lead exposure is associated with a number of serious health issues and diseases including developmental and cognitive deficiency, hypertension and heart disease. Understanding the distribution of lifetime lead burden within a given population is critical for reducing exposure rates. Femoral bone from 101 deceased adult males living in urban Transvaal Province (now Gauteng Province), South Africa between 1960 and 1998 were analyzed for lead concentration by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Of the 72 black and 29 white individuals sampled, chronic lead exposure was apparent in nearly all individuals. White males showed significantly higher median bone lead concentration (ME = 10.04 µg·g−1), than black males (ME = 3.80 µg·g−1) despite higher socioeconomic status. Bone lead concentration covaries significantly, though weakly, with individual age. There was no significant temporal trend in bone lead concentration. These results indicate that long-term low to moderate lead exposure is the historical norm among South African males. Unexpectedly, this research indicates that white males in the sample population were more highly exposed to lead

    Grisel’s syndrome, a rare cause of anomalous head posture in children: a case report

    BACKGROUND: Anomalous head posture (AHP) or torticollis is a relatively common condition in children. Torticollis is not a diagnosis, but it is a sign of underlying disease. Grisel’s syndrome (GS) is a rare condition of uncertain etiology characterized by a nontraumatic atlanto-axial subluxation (AAS), secondary to an infection in the head and neck region. It has not been considered, in ophthalmological papers, as a possible cause of AHP. CASE PRESENTATION: A case of AAS secondary to an otitis media is studied. The children showed neck pain, head tilt, and reduction in neck mobility. The patient had complete remission with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy and muscle relaxants. Signs of GS should always be taken into account during ophthalmological examination (recent history of upper airway infections and/or head and neck surgeries associated to a new onset of sudden, painful AHP with normal ocular exam). In such cases it is necessary to require quick execution of radiological examinations (computer tomography and/or nuclear magnetic resonance), which are essential to confirm the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: GS is a multidisciplinary disease. We underline the importance of an accurate orthoptic and ophthalmological examination. Indeed, early detection and diagnosis are fundamental to achieve proper management, avoid neurological complications and lead to a good prognosis
