Para a realização deste trabalho foram aplicados questionários com onze questões de múltiplas escolhas, com espaço para sugestões por parte dos entrevistados. O uso das tecnologias já é uma realidade no Centro Educacional 01 do Guará e em muitas outras escolas e a maioria dos educadores usam essas ferramentas. Mas apesar disso, ainda há muito o que fazer para que se crie uma situação ideal nessa prática. Há a necessidade de uma melhor organização dos espaços destinados ao uso das tecnologias, de pessoas preparadas para o atendimento dos usuários e principalmente oferecer uma formação constante em uso de tecnologias para incentivar aqueles professores que ainda não usam as TIC. ________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTTIC’s can be an important ally to the work of educators in their pedagogycal and also to the administrative area of the school and this research seeks to analyze the role that TIC’s represent the work of managers and teachers of CED 01 Guara, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of such use, and the availability of technology in school. For this work questionnaires with eleven multiple choice questions, with space for suggestions from interviewees were applied.

There is a need for better organization of spaces for the use of technology, people prepared for the service users and mainly provide constant training in use of technology to encourage those teachers who do not use TIC

    Microwave Technique: A Powerful Tool for Sintering Ceramic Materials

    Full text link
    [EN] Microwave sintering has emerged in recent years as a promising technology for faster, cheaper and eco-friendlier processing of a wide variety of materials, which are regarded as significant advantages against conventional sintering procedures. The present investigation describes a technique for sintering two different ceramic materials by microwave heating: alumina-15vol.% zirconia and hydroxyapatite nanopowders. The results show that microwave sintering achieves higher density values, excellent mechanical properties and a homogeneous microstructure at lower sintering temperatures. The densities of microwave processed samples were close to the theoretical densities, and the near-net-shape of the green body was preserved without significant dimensional changes. The main advantages of microwave heating can be summarized as follows: a more flexible process, reduced processing times and production costs, and environmental benefits. Thus, microwaves are a clear alternative to conventional heating methods, using up to 70% less energy throughout the whole sintering processThis work has been carried out under a programme that supports research and development at the Polytechnic University of Valencia under multidisciplinary projects PAID2011/059, SP20120621 and SP20120677.

    In this article we assessed the prevalence of benzodiazepine (BZD) use in women before and during imprisonment, as well as its related factors and association with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder in a quantitative, cross-sectional, analytical study of regional scope. Two female prisons in the Brazilian Prison System were included. Seventy-four women participated by completing questionnaires about their sociodemographic data, BZD use and use of other substances. These questionnaires included the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist–Civilian Version (PCL-C). Of the 46 women who reported no BZDs use before arrest, 29 (63%) began using BZDs during imprisonment (p < 0.001). Positive scores for PTSD, anxiety, and depression, as well as associations between BZD use during imprisonment and anxiety (p= 0.028), depression (p = 0.001) and comorbid anxiety and depression (p= 0.003) were found when a bivariate Poisson regression was performed. When a multivariate Poisson regression was performed for tobacco use, the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scales, BZD use was associated with depression (p= p = 0.008), with tobacco use (p = 0.012), but not with anxiety (p = 0.325). Imprisonment increases the psychological sufering of women, consequently increasing BZD use. Nonpharmacological measures need to be considered in the health care of incarcerated women

    Partindo do pressuposto de que o conhecimento teórico quando alinhado com a prática torna o conhecimento ainda mais eficaz, esse artigo discute sobre a possibilidade de utilizar a Cultura Maker na Educação com o uso da Programação Visual em Blocos aliada a aprendizagem em sala de aula, contribuindo especificamente com conceitos e metodologias. A Cultura Maker parte da remodelação do ensino em sala, sendo caracterizada pela forte identificação que o indivíduo cria durante o envolvimento e participação na criação de conteúdos e produtos. Assim, surgem laboratórios de fabricação digital com espaços que possibilitam o aprendizado e uso compartilhado para aqueles que interessam em desenvolver projetos para si e/ou para comunidade. Princípios como colaboração, criatividade e sustentabilidade fazem parte dessa cultura do “faça você mesmo”, propondo a reutilização de recursos e materiais de fácil uso, acesso e apropriação que podem ser utilizados na elaboração de produtos e/ou conteúdos novos. No que diz respeito à Programação Visual em Blocos, essa por sua vez, é considerada como aliada na formação de crianças para um perfil apropriado em um futuro muito mais dependente de tecnologia, apresentando oportunidades e ferramentas com alto pontencial a ser aplicada no ensino-aprendizagem. Portanto, o artigo apresenta uma breve revisão bibliográfica sobre a temática da cultura maker e o uso da programação visual em blocos, como também uma breve descrição sobre o MIT App Inventor e suas aplicações na educação. Constata-se que a formação de indivíduos considerando os conceitos discutidos aqui, formatada em uma estrutura de material pedagógico e didático com propósitos bem definidos, certamente será útil como ferramenta aplicada à Cultura Maker na Educação

    Methylseleninic acid promotes antitumour effects via nuclear FOXO3a translocation through Akt inhibition

    Selenium supplement has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the risk of different cancers including lung carcinoma. Previous studies reported that the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities of methylseleninic acid (MSA) in cancer cells could be mediated by inhibition of the PI3K pathway. A better understanding of the downstream cellular targets of MSA will provide information on its mechanism of action and will help to optimize its use in combination therapies with PI3K inhibitors. For this study, the effects of MSA on viability, cell cycle, metabolism, apoptosis, protein and mRNA expression, and reactive oxygen species production were analysed in A549 cells. FOXO3a subcellular localization was examined in A549 cells and in stably transfected human osteosarcoma U2foxRELOC cells. Our results demonstrate that MSA induces FOXO3a nuclear translocation in A549 cells and in U2OS cells that stably express GFP-FOXO3a. Interestingly, sodium selenite, another selenium compound, did not induce any significant effects on FOXO3a translocation despite inducing apoptosis. Single strand break of DNA, disruption of tumour cell metabolic adaptations, decrease in ROS production, and cell cycle arrest in G1 accompanied by induction of apoptosis are late events occurring after 24h of MSA treatment in A549 cells. Our findings suggest that FOXO3a is a relevant mediator of the antiproliferative effects of MSA. This new evidence on the mechanistic action of MSA can open new avenues in exploiting its antitumour properties and in the optimal design of novel combination therapies. We present MSA as a promising chemotherapeutic agent with synergistic antiproliferative effects with cisplatin. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

    Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2 ± 1 species (range = 1–6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N = 2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N = 1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N = 35), Leontopithecus caissara (N = 38), and Sapajus libidinosus (N = 41) were the species with the least records. Recorded primate densities varied from 0.004 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta guariba at Fragmento do Bugre, Paraná, Brazil) to 400 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta caraya in Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Our dataset reflects disparity between the numerous primate census conducted in the Atlantic Forest, in contrast to the scarcity of estimates of population sizes and densities. With these data, researchers can develop different macroecological and regional level studies, focusing on communities, populations, species co-occurrence and distribution patterns. Moreover, the data can also be used to assess the consequences of fragmentation, defaunation, and disease outbreaks on different ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, species invasion or extinction, and community dynamics.

We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data. © 2018 by the The Authors. Ecology © 2018 The Ecological Society of Americ

    El síndrome de Christ-Siemens-Touraine o Displasia Ectodérmica Hipohidrótica, constituye la forma más frecuente de las llamadas displasias ectodérmicas: síndromes de carácter congénito, en los que se ven afectados uno o varios componentes derivados del ectodermo y que no presentan un curso progresivo. La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica se trata de un síndrome heredo familiar, transmitido como un rasgo recesivo ligado a X, que afecta en el 90% de los casos a los varones. La forma más comúnmente encontrada de displasia ectodérmica es el tipo hipohidrótico, caracterizada por la triada hipohidrosis, hipotricosis e hipodoncia. Una fascie caracterizada por abombamiento frontal, con depresión de tercio medio, hundimiento de puente nasal y proquelia por la ausencia de dientes son otros hallazgos. Se encuentran manifestaciones visuales, otorrinolaringológicas, desórdenes alérgicos, infecciones respiratorias y distrofia de las uñas de leve a moderada. El paciente llegó a nuestra consulta con APF de padre afectado de Displasia Ectodérmica Hipohidrótica, tercero de cuatro hermanos (dos varones y una mujer no afectados), único sobrino con Displasia Ectodérmica Hipohidrótica, hijo de su hermana. Refirió antecedentes de infecciones respiratorias frecuentes, xerosis y vesicoampollas en mucosa oral. Al examen físico encontramos: dermatosis solares, estomatitis, rasgos faciales característicos de frente y mentón prominente, nariz de punta fina, mejillas hundidas, labios gruesos y evertidos, así como pabellones auriculares grandes. Al examen físico dermatológico presentó la piel lisa, seca y arrugada alrededor de los ojos, dando un aspecto de envejecimiento prematuro. La hipotricosis es parcial en cuero cabelludo, cejas, barba, axilas y pubis. Al examen físico estomatológico presentaba inflamación de las encías, estomatitis y desarrollo dentario anormal.The Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome or hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia, is the most frequent form of the so called ectodermal dysplasias; a congenital character syndrome in which one or several components of the ectoderm are affected, without presenting a progressive course. The hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia is an hereditary familiar syndrome, transmitted as a recessive characteristic linked to X, affecting 90 % of the males. The most common form of the ectodermal dysplasia is the hypohydrotic one, characterized by the triad hypohydrosis, hypotrichosis and hypodoncia. Another finding was a fascia characterized by frontal convection, depression of the nasal bridge and proquelia for absence of teeth. We found otorhinolaryngologic manifestations, allergic disorders and from light to moderated nail dystrophy. The patient arrived to our consultation with previous familiar antecedents of father affected by Hypohydrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, third of four siblings (two brothers and a sister), only a nephew, son of his sister, with Hypohydrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia. He told about antecedents of frequent respiratory infections, xerosis and blisters in oral mucosa. When we carried out the physical examination we found: sun dermatosis, stomatitis, characteristic facial features of prominent forehead and chin, everted and thick lips, and also big earlobes. The physical dermatologic examination showed smooth skin, dry and wrinkly around the eyes, giving an aspect of premature aging. The hypotrichosis is partial in the scalp, eyebrows, beard, armpits and pubis. The physical oral examination showed gums inflammation, stomatitis and abnormal dental development

    A diferenciação do self representa um conceito chave da teoria de Bowen, com um caráter multidimensional (dimensão intrapessoal e interpessoal). O Inventário de Diferenciação do Self – Revisto (IDS‑R) é a versão portuguesa do Differentiation of Self Inventory – Revised (DSI‑R; Skowron & Schmitt, 2003), composto por 46 itens repartidos por quatro subescalas: Reatividade Emocional, Posição do Eu, Cut‑off Emocional e Fusão com os Outros. No âmbito da adaptação e validação para a população portuguesa do DSI‑R foram efetuados diversos estudos de evidência de precisão (e.g., consistência interna) e de validade (e.g., análise fatorial exploratória) com uma amostra de 470 sujeitos. Foi ainda realizado um estudo comparativo com a estrutura fatorial obtida na versão espanhola do DSI‑R. Os resultados alcançados (e.g., α = .86 para o resultado total do IDS‑R), apesar de não replicarem a estrutura fatorial original do DSI‑R permitem considerar a versão portuguesa como uma ferramenta de avaliação útil tanto na prática clínica como em contexto de investigação.The differentiation of self represents a key‑concept in Bowen’s theory, with a multidimensional nature (intrapersonal and interpersonal dimension).
