A IMPORTÂNCIA DA NEUROEDUCAÇÃO PARA ACESSIBILIDADE UNIVERSITARIA

Neste artigo iremos abordar a importância do olhar de neuroeducação paraa acessibilidade universitária, diante das questões vivenciadas no Setor deAcessibilidade da Faculdade de Letras. Fazendo assim, parte de uma engrenagem deinclusão que movimentará uma educação justa e democrática. No entanto, parafavorecer a Acessibilidade Universitária ou a Inclusão Universitária é preciso repensarem todo um processo acadêmico e cultural. Neste viés, vemos a proposta demovimentos que despertem uma consciência social de respeito às diferenças,envolvendo alunos, funcionários e professores, através de ações de acolhimento, masações principalmente de convivência e de respeito, o que chamamos de “mexer comas cabeças”. O qual envolve desde questões do espaço físico a movimentos deconscientização, orientação aos alunos e suporte técnico aos professores, comotambém aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre a funcionalidade do aprendizado, bemcomo desenvolver nos múltiplos sujeitos as práticas sociais inclusivas queproporcionem o seu acesso e a sua permanência. O que já vem sendo feito por estesetor desde 2011, onde cinquenta e três alunos recebem acompanhamentopsicopedagógico e dez turmas já foram formadas nos cursos de extensão voltadospara Acessibilidade. Visando assim todo um processo de inclusão na universidade.Palavras-chave: Neuroeducação. Funcionalidade de Aprendizado. AcessibilidadeUniversitária

Alimentos alternativos e variação no cardápio do Centro de Amparo à Velhice Jesus Maria José

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo, incluir alimentos alternativos no cardápio dos idosos do Centro de Amparo à Velhice Jesus, Maria, Jose como forma de agregar valor nutricional a alimentação servida a este público.   Os alimentos foram selecionados de acordo com o cardápio disponibilizado pelo setor de nutrição do Centro. Posteriormente, foram elaborados e ofertados uma vez por semana nas refeições do almoço e/ou jantar. Como instrumento de avaliação e coleta de dados, foi utilizados questionamentos orais aos idosos, durante e ao final do desenvolvimento do projeto. Observou-se que o tipo de alimentação que foge aos padrões convencionais, teve uma boa aceitabilidade por parte dos idosos e não causou nenhum problema gastrointestinal, mesmo muitas vezes os idosos repetindo a refeição demonstrando com isso, que é uma alimentação condizente com as fases da vida humana inclusive a terceira idade

Child and youth sexual violence: What do the documents from the court say?

This article has as objectives to characterize the cases of sexual violence against children and adolescents found in the records of complaints, notices and prosecutions at the Child and Youth Court in the county of João Pessoa and to analyze the risks to the victims of such violence regarding the decisions, procedures and prosecutions that do not guarantee the protection and enforcement of fundamental rights. The instrument used to collect data was a research protocol analyzed by frequency and thematic content analysis. The risk factors are characterized among life circumstances that precede the sexual violence and are originated due to the referrals that happened after the complaint. 30 cases of sexual violence were found, most of them happened inside institutions under the State’s responsibility; there were also risk of negligence, exploitation and others forms of violence; lack of information in the documents about aggressor, complaint, referral and accountability. The procedures and prosecutions are not able to punish, educate or solve the issue and can cause damage to dignity, to the victims and their fundamental rights

Red coloured particles are sensitised with three different synthetic peptides representing antigen sequences of Trypanosoma cruzi: Ag2, TcD and TcE. When these particles are mixed with serum containing specific antibodies, they agglutinate. The reaction mixture is centrifuged through a gel filtration matrix allowing free agglutinated particles to remain trapped on the top or distributed within the gel. The result can be read visually. In order to investigate the ability of the ID-PaGIA to discriminate negative and positive sera, 111 negative and 119 positive, collected in four different Brazilian institutions, were tested by each of the participants. All sera were previously classified as positive or negative according to results obtained with three conventional tests (indirect immunofluorescence, indirect hemaglutination, and enzime linked immunosorbent assay). Sensitivity rates of ID-PaGIA varied from 95.7% to 97.4% with mean sensitivity of 96.8% and specificity rates varied from 93.8 to 98.8% with mean specificity of 94.6%. The overall Kappa test was 0.94. The assay presents as advantages the simplicity of operation and the reaction time of 20 min. In this study, ID-PaGIA showed to be highly sensitive and specific

Seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C in Brazilian army conscripts in 2002: a cross-sectional study

Hepatitis B and C constitute important public health problems worldwide. In Brazil, studies on prevalence of viral hepatitis have local and regional characteristics; consequently it is difficult to define the national epidemiological situation. Our objective was to evaluate the seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C in conscripts of the Brazilian Army. A transversal study among males aged 17 to 22 years was conducted nationwide. After informed consent, each volunteer filled in a social-behavioral questionnaire and had blood drawn to test for HBsAg and anti-HCV. A total of 7,372 volunteers were evaluated in the second half of 2002. The prevalence of HBsAg was 2.6% (95% confidence interval: 2.2, 3.0) and that of anti-HCV was 1.5% (95% confidence interval: 1.2, 1.8). A wide variation among macro regions and states in the same region was observed for both markers. In conclusion, although this population theoretically had a low risk for HBV and HCV infection, these results are higher than expected for this age range. These findings may indicate a change in the pattern of HBV and HCV transmission in Brazil. Due to the different dynamics of these epidemics, further studies are warranted to confirm these apparent trends
