Sonho de menina: documentário memorial de produção de filme sobre mulheres e desigualdade

Esse trabalho é o memorial de um vídeo documentário (com vieses poético e participativo), que reflete sobre a história dos sonhos de mulheres que viveram, ou ainda moram, na periferia do Distrito Federal. O filme, intitulado de "Sonho de Menina", sob o olhar e reflexões da autora, busca na memória de personagens fatos e aspirações que elas têm para o próprio futuro. São meninas, adolescentes e adultas em um espaço de disparidade social e econômica. Para a produção do filme, foram escolhidas apenas personagens mulheres, pois se entende que a periferia tem características heterogêneas, e a desigualdade de gênero existe em todos os lugares, sendo eles pobres ou ricos. Portanto, elas seriam ainda mais reféns do meio por serem mulheres. Assim, para entendermos as dificuldades, os sonhos e as realidades, o documentário mostra a versão do ponto de vista de quem passa pelas situações apresentadas. O objetivo do "Sonho de Menina" não é reduzir as personagens como vítimas, mas trazer uma reflexão dos espectadores para os próprios sonhos, e o que tem sido feito para que eles não se percam com o tempo

Multiple sclerosis: changes in microarchitecture of white matter tracts after training with a video game balance board

Purpose: To determine if high-intensity, task-oriented, visual feedback training with a video game balance board (Nintendo Wii) induces significant changes in diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of cerebellar connections and other supratentorial associative bundles and if these changes are related to clinical improvement in patients with multiple sclerosis.Conclusion: Despite the low statistical power (35%) due to the small sample size, the results showed that training with the balance board system modified the microstructure of superior cerebellar peduncles. The clinical improvement observed after training might be mediated by enhanced myelinationrelated processes, suggesting that high-intensity, taskoriented exercises could induce favorable microstructural changes in the brains of patients with multiple sclerosis.Materials and Methods: The protocol was approved by local ethical committee; each participant provided written informed consent. In this 24-week, randomized, two-period crossover pilot study, 27 patients underwent static posturography and brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at study entry, after the first 12-week period, and at study termination. Thirteen patients started a 12-week training program followed by a 12-week period without any intervention, while 14 patients received the intervention in reverse order. Fifteen healthy subjects also underwent MR imaging once and underwent static posturography. Virtual dissection of white matter tracts was performed with streamline tractography; values of DTI parameters were then obtained for each dissected tract. Repeated measures analyses of variance were performed to evaluate whether DTI parameters significantly changed after intervention, with false discovery rate correction for multiple hypothesis testing.Results: There were relevant differences between patients and healthy control subjects in postural sway and DTI parameters (P <.05). Significant main effects of time by group interaction for fractional anisotropy and radial diffusivity of the left and right superior cerebellar peduncles were found (F2,23 range, 5.555-3.450; P = .036-.088 after false discovery rate correction). These changes correlated with objective measures of balance improvement detected at static posturography (r = 20.381 to 0.401, P < .05). However, both clinical and DTI changes did not persist beyond 12 weeks after training
