O TRABALHO DO PROFESSOR NO DESENVOLVIMENTO MOTOR DE CRIANÇAS AUTISTAS NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL I

No intuito de analisar quaisquer dificuldades que o profissional de educação física possa enfrentar em sua carreira dentro do ambiente escolar, deu-se o desenvolvimento deste artigo. A metodologia aplicada a este trabalho foi a revisão de literatura baseada em outro artigos já publicados, livros e sites especializados. Uma das possíveis dificuldades que o professor de Educação Física pode se deparar é o TEA - Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Sabe-se que cada indivíduo portador reage de diferentes formas, por isso não se deve criar apenas uma maneira de trabalho. O professor terá que observar qual a melhor maneira de se trabalhar com esse deficiente intelectual, para que ele possa se desenvolver de forma natural e prazerosa, sendo assim incluso e visto perante todos como iguais.

TRATAMENTO CIRÚRGICO DAS PTOSES PALPEBRAIS: PERSPECTIVAS OFTALMOLÓGICAS E ESTÉTICAS

 The correction of eyelid ptosis, whether for aesthetic or functional reasons, is a specialized area in ophthalmology that seeks to restore not only facial aesthetics, but also adequate visual function. This surgical process, often customized to meet each patient's unique needs, involves complex considerations from both an ophthalmological and aesthetic perspective. We will explore the importance of integrating these two aspects to ensure satisfactory results, addressing both demographic variations and the ophthalmological complexities involved in the treatment of eyelid ptosis. Objective: Understand the surgical techniques, perspectives and results achieved through the procedure. Conclusion: In conclusion, surgical treatment of eyelid ptosis represents a careful integration of ophthalmological and aesthetic considerations. The search for satisfactory results is not limited only to functional correction, but also aims to improve facial harmony and the patient's self-esteem.A correção das ptoses palpebrais, seja por motivos estéticos ou funcionais, é uma área especializada na oftalmologia que busca restabelecer não apenas a estética facial, mas também a função visual adequada.

A busca por resultados satisfatórios não se limita apenas à correção funcional, mas também visa aprimorar a harmonia facial e a autoestima do paciente

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism. The genome also contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, possibly involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. There is, in addition, a series of previously unknown but important enzymes and secondary metabolites including paraquat-inducible proteins, drug and heavy-metal-resistance proteins, multiple chitinases, and proteins for the detoxification of xenobiotics that may have biotechnological applications

Response of Fibroblasts MRC-5 to Flufenamic Acid-Grafted MCM-41 Nanoparticles

Recently, flufenamic acid (FFA) was discovered among fenamates as a free radical scavenger and gap junction blocker; however, its effects have only been studied in cancer cells. Normal cells in the surroundings of a tumor also respond to radiation, although they are not hit by it directly. This phenomenon is known as the bystander effect, where response molecules pass from tumor cells to normal ones, through communication channels called gap junctions. The use of the enhanced permeability and retention effect, through which drug-loaded nanoparticles smaller than 200 nm may accumulate around a tumor, can prevent the local side effect upon controlled release of the drug. The present work, aimed at functionalizing MCM-41 (Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41) silica nanoparticles with FFA and determining its biocompatibility with human fibroblasts MRC-5 (Medical Research Council cell strain 5). MCM-41, was synthesized and characterized structurally and chemically, with multiple techniques. The biocompatibility assay was performed by Live/Dead technique, with calcein and propidium–iodide. MRC-5 cells were treated with FFA-grafted MCM-41 for 48 h, and 98% of cells remained viable, without signs of necrosis or morphological changes. The results show the feasibility of MCM-41 functionalization with FFA, and its potential protection of normal cells, in comparison to the role of FFA in cancerous ones

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
