O futebol no centro de atenção psicossoical (CAPS): relato de experiência

The treatment of users of a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) can be done in several ways, one of which is bodily practices, including soccer, as this sport, even in the leisure dimension, brings educational and health related possibilities. This experience report aims to expose the CAPS as an internship and professional intervention field in the Physical Education (PE) area and, even more, to demonstrate how soccer can be a great treatment resource for these users. A Participant research of soccer classes was made by an intern of the bachelor’s degree in Physical Education in the second half of 2019, since they observed and intervened in the “Soccer Group”, planning and discussing with the internship’s supervisoryteacher and the CAPS teacher the activities that would be applied. The focus of this experience report was to demonstrate how bodily practices enable professional/user interaction, allowing to monitor activities such as games, as well as contributions to the group such as the reduction of affective dullness, greater participation in the activity, and improvement in technical skills. It was identified that soccer can help the treatment of users in relation to the disorders they present, especially regarding sociability, volition, andpotential.El trato a los usuarios de un Centro de Atención Psicosocial (CAPS) se puede realizar de varias formas, una de las cuales son las prácticas corporales, entre las que se incluye el fútbol, porque este deporte, aunque en la dimensión del ocio, trae posibilidades de actividades educativas y de salud. Este relato de experiencia tiene como objetivo exponer los CAPS como campo de prácticas e intervención profesional en el ámbito de la Educación Física (EF) y, más aún, demostrar cómo el fútbol puede ser un gran recurso de tratamiento para los usuarios.

Multi- and single-joint resistance exercises promote similar plantar flexor activation in resistance trained men

The present study aimed to compare soleus, lateral, and medial gastrocnemius muscles activation during leg press and calf raise exercises in trained men. The study involved 22 trained men (27.1 ± 3.6 years, 82.7 ± 6.6 kg, 177.5 ± 5.2 cm, 3.6 ± 1.4 experience years) who performed one set of each exercise using a 10-repetition maximum (10RM) load in a counterbalanced randomized order and separated by 10 min of rest. The electromyographic signal was measured for the three major plantar flexors: soleus, medial, and lateral gastrocnemius. A comparison between exercises showed that the mean adjusted by peak values during the leg press were 49.20% for the gastrocnemius lateralis, 51.31% for the gastrocnemius medialis, and 50.76% for the soleus. Values for calf raise were 50.70%, 52.19%, and 51.34% for the lateral, medial gastrocnemius, and soleus, respectively. There were no significant differences between exercises for any muscle (lateral gastrocnemius (p = 0.230), medial gastrocnemius (p = 0.668), and soleus (p = 0.535)). The present findings suggest that both leg press and calf raises can be used with the purpose to recruit triceps surae muscles. This bring the suggestion that one can chose between exercises based on personal preferences and practical aspects, without any negative impact on muscle activation

Energia marítima: aspectos tecnológicos, econômicos e impactos ambientais na geração de eletricidade

Facing the importance of electric energy for human survival and development, studies on sustainability are indispensable. In this sense, the oceans are a vast source of renewable energy, due to their abundance on the Earth's surface and their various forms of use such as: waves, tides, sea currents, thermal energy and salinity gradients. Thus, this article aims to survey and reflect on technological, economic and environmental impacts in the generation of electricity, through marine energy. Brazil has a minimum potential of 40 GW that can be used from its coastline waters. Scientific advances to improve technology may enable a favorable cost-benefit ratio. This factor does not preclude the possibility that there is already a short-term investment in this option

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set.
