Latex insole with sensor system for investigation of plantar pressure distribution in autistic individuals

Autism is a behavior syndrome in which developing process of the affected children is changed. One of the biggest challenges to identify the person with Autistic Disorder lays on the wide range of autism spectrum. As autism affects the abilities of each child differently, like the corporal posture and gestures, it is assumed that the way of moving has as a differentiated result of pressure and energy applied in plant foot. Foot alterations produce differences in plantar pressure during walking and present a modified mechanical etiology due to the cinematic and dynamic alterations. Before the exposed, the aim of this study is to analyze the gait of the person with Autism Spectrum Disorder. For this purpose, it is necessary to, i) make a custom insole derived from latex (biomaterial) integrated with electronic sensors; II) detect differences of pressures applied during gait between individuals with and without ASD. Preliminary results point to a slight difference between both groups of children

ColabSaber: A pedagogical support framework in the collaborative construction of knowledge / ColabSaber: Uma estrutura pedagógica de apoio na construção colaborativa do conhecimento

This paper proposes the ColabSaber Framework, which aims to change the traditional format of lecture-based classes with the use of the learning principles defended by Vygotsky, such as language, culture and social interaction. ColabSaber uses the fundamentals of Group Storytelling as educational support for elementary school students. This paper points out the importance of the collaborative construction of comic books as an intermediate support in the traditional teaching-learning process, also considering the technological advances and the ease of students in handling new technologies. As a result, the article concludes a significant improvement in the academic performance of the participating students and a motivational element of the academic engagement of the participating students

Phytochemistry of the genus Selaginella (Selaginellaceae).

The Selaginellaceae family includes the single genus Selaginella, which is found worldwide and comprises approximately 700 to 750 species. A number of species have been traditionally used for medicinal purposes in the whole world, and the phytochemistry of some has been investigated. For this review, the search was carried out using Web of Sciences, Chemical Abstracts and the data bank NAPRALERT (acronym for NAtural PRoducts ALERT), updated to October 2012. The references found in the search were then studied in detail. This review refers to 32 species and 130 compounds isolated from plants of the genus Selaginella, which are classified in appropriate chemical groups. The compounds isolated have been identified belonging to the classes of alkaloids, benzenoids, carbohydrates, chromones, coumarins, flavonoids, lignans, oxygen heterocycle, phenylpropanoids, pigments, quinoids and steroids. Some aspects of bioactivity of the secondary metabolites produced are discussed. For this purpose 75 references were consulted. Key words: Selaginellaceae, Selaginella, phytochemistry, review

Impacto da renda na demanda de proteína animal no Brasil: uma análise regional.

O Brasil é um país de expressiva participação no mercado de proteínas de origem animal no mundo, um caminho que vem sendo traçado há muitos anos. Por isso, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da renda sobre o consumo de carnes, vísceras, pescados, aves, ovos, leite e derivados nas cinco grandes regiões do Brasil ao longo do tempo. Para tal, foram utilizados dados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF), realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) nos períodos de 2002?2003, 2008?2009 e 2017?2018, utilizando o método Mínimos Quadrados Ponderados e, como fator de ponderação, a população em cada faixa de renda. Foi constatado que todas as regiões possuem dados em comum, como a maior elasticidade média para o grupo de leites e derivados. Há, porém, diferenças em relação ao maior dispêndio de certas proteínas, como ocorre para pescados na região Norte. Nas demais regiões, o maior foi para carne de boi de primeira
