Flexiteste - uma nova versão dos mapas de avaliação

A flexibilidade (amplitude máxima fisiológica de um dado movimento articular) é um dos principais itens da aptidão física. Em varias áreas do conhecimento, existe interesse na medida e avaliação da mobilidade articular. As principais técnicas atualmente em uso são as métricas e as goniométricas. Em 1980, foi proposto o flexi teste como um método de avaliação da mobilidade passiva de 20 movimentos articulares. Neste método, o movimento executado pelo avaliador é com parado com mapas de avaliação, atribuindo-se valores inteiros de 0 a 4 (números maiores para as amplitudes ma i ores), uma grande experiência pratica, o intercâmbio com estudantes e professores e mais de 120ü fotografias com o método indicaram a necessidade de aprimorar os mapas de avaliação originais. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma nova versão aperfeiçoada dos mapas de avaliação do flexiteste. Três dos 20 movimentos inicialmente propostos tiveram modificações nas posições do avaliador e do avaliado, tendo sido necessário estabelecer novas angulações (mudança do critério original) para os movi­mentos XIX e XX, ambos do ombro. Para esta ultima modificação, foram v fotografados 23 indivíduos nas posições antigas e novas, feita a fotogoniometr1a e determinada a regressão linear que permite a conversão dos valores antigos em novos, conservando assim o mérito dos da dos coletados com a versão original. 0 trabalho apresenta ainda, com riqueza de detalhes, as modificações e correções efetuadas na nova versão dos mapas de avaliação

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

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
