A simbologia presente nos estilos de Karate-Dō

The goal of this study is to interpret the different meanings in the emblems/symbols of the styles and schools of Karate-Dō, analyzing their internal elements and their importance within of this practice. This survey was composed by three distinct stages: 1) research and cataloging of the styles and schools of Karate-Dō with historical, cultural and political representation; 2) identification of the symbols used by each one of these styles and schools; and 3) analysis of each one of these symbols. This analysis is important for a deeper understanding of the different meanings involved in the practice of Karate-Dō. Although Karate-Dō follow a common set of values to all Budō, schools have their own worldview, using their symbols to reinforce or express such concepts. Some symbols which was analyzed demonstrates a cultural enrichment in their artwork, being recognized by some elements of religious or spiritual aspect. This symbolism, in itself, shows an important aspect to understand the multicultural phenomenon named Karate-Dō.O objetivo deste estudo é interpretar os diferentes significados existentes nos emblemas/símbolos de estilos e escolas de Karate-Dō, analisando seus elementos internos e sua importância dentro dessa prática. Para sua realização, foram realizadas três etapas distintas: 1) catalogação e investigação dos estilos e escolas de Karate-Dō com maior representatividade histórica, cultural e política; 2) identificação dos símbolos utilizados por cada um desses estilos e escolas; e 3) análise de cada um desses símbolos. Essa análise torna-se importante para uma compreensão mais profunda dos diferentes significados envolvidos na prática do Karate-Dō, pois, apesar de seguirem um conjunto de valores comum a todos os Budō, as escolas possuem sua própria visão de mundo, utilizando seus símbolos para reforçar ou externar tais conceitos. A maior parte dos símbolos analisados demonstra um aprofundamento cultural em seus grafismos, sendo reconhecidos alguns elementos até de aspecto espiritual ou religioso. Esse simbolismo, em si, mostra um aspecto relevante para a compreensão do próprio fenômeno multicultural nomeado Karate-Dō

O DESEMPENHO DESPORTIVO: UM MOSAICO DE VALORES, SENTIDOS E SIGNIFICADOS.

The winning and the losing are part of the sports drama. Certain competitors, in the name of “win”, there are no limits to his ambition; others, despite having excellent physiological data, do not get positive practical results. However, sport is more than a fight for victory, is a metaphor for life itself and a way to education; a way to educate in values. In this work, we will make a comparative analysis between the philosophical principles of preparation of athletes published by John Wooden and Bernardo Rocha de Resende, suggesting a new model, based on values from such comparisons. Ganar y perder es parte del drama de deportes. Algunos competidores, con el objetivo de "ganar", no tiene límites en su ambición; otros, a pesar de tener excelentes datos fisiológicos, no consigue resultados positivos. El deporte es más que una lucha desenfrenada por la victoria; es una metáfora de la vida y un medio de educación; un medio para educar en valores. En este trabajo,  hacemos un análisis comparativo dentre los principios filosóficos publicados por John Wooden y Bernardo Resende de Rocha, lo que se sugiere, después, un nuevo modelo, basado en los valores de estas comparaciones. Vencer e perder fazem parte do drama desportivo.

Challenges and strategies to stay physically active in the face of COVID-19 pandemic: A review

La pandemia provocada por la Covid-19 ha influido en los estilos de vida de las personas. El escenario de confinamiento domiciliario podría perjudicar la práctica de actividad física, generando nuevos desafíos para el mantenimiento de la salud durante la pandemia de la Covid-19. El objetivo de este estudio fue presentar el contexto actual de la pandemia de Covid-19, su impacto en la práctica de actividad física y las estrategias disponibles para mantenerse activo durante el confinamiento domiciliario según las recomendaciones internacionales. La revisión narrativa se realizó con base en estudios que analizaron temas relacionados con la actividad física y la Covid-19. Se realizaron búsquedas de artículos relevantes en las bases de datos Virtual Health Library (BVS), CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Scopus, SPORTDiscus y Web of Science. Aunque todavía es necesario un mayor número de estudios experimentales, las personas deberían dedicar más tiempo a la actividad física durante el aislamiento social. Las pautas fueron ajustadas por entidades internacionales para alentar a las personas a mantenerse activas, mediante la práctica de actividad física regular, utilizando estrategias alternativas como aplicaciones de programas de acondicionamiento físico, exergames, clases de ejercicios en línea e incluso tareas domésticas. La reducción del sedentarismo prolongado podría contribuir a mantener la salud y mejorar la calidad de vida durante la pandemia de Covid-19.  The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 has influenced peoples’ lifestyles. Home-confinement scenario might impair physical activity practice, resulting in new challenges for maintaining health during the pandemic of the COVID-19. The aim of this study was to present the current context of COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on the practice of physical activity, and the strategies available to remain active during home-confinement according to international recommendations. The narrative review was conducted based on studies that analyzed themes related to physical activity and COVID-19. Virtual Health Library (VHL), CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant papers. Although an increased number of experimental studies are still necessary, people should devote more time to physical activity during social isolation. Guidelines were adjusted by international entities in order to encourage people to remain active, through practice regular physical activity, using alternative strategies such as fitness program applications, exergames, online exercise classes, and even chores. Reduction of prolonged sedentary behavior could contribute to maintain health and improve quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic

Which method is best for the induction of labour?: A systematic review, network meta-analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis

Background: More than 150,000 pregnant women in England and Wales have their labour induced each year. Multiple pharmacological, mechanical and complementary methods are available to induce labour. Objective: To assess the relative effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of labour induction methods and, data permitting, effects in different clinical subgroups. Methods: We carried out a systematic review using Cochrane methods. The Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group’s Trials Register was searched (March 2014). This contains over 22,000 reports of controlled trials (published from 1923 onwards) retrieved from weekly searches of OVID MEDLINE (1966 to current); Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library); EMBASE (1982 to current); Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (1984 to current); ClinicalTrials.gov; the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Portal; and hand-searching of relevant conference proceedings and journals. We included randomised controlled trials examining interventions to induce labour compared with placebo, no treatment or other interventions in women eligible for third-trimester induction. We included outcomes relating to efficacy, safety and acceptability to women. In addition, for the economic analysis we searched the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, and Economic Evaluations Databases, NHS Economic Evaluation Database and the Health Technology Assessment database. We carried out a network meta-analysis (NMA) using all of the available evidence, both direct and indirect, to produce estimates of the relative effects of each treatment compared with others in a network. We developed a de novo decision tree model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of various methods. The costs included were the intervention and other hospital costs incurred (price year 2012–13). We reviewed the literature to identify preference-based utilities for the health-related outcomes in the model. We calculated incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, expected costs, utilities and net benefit. We represent uncertainty in the optimal intervention using cost-effectiveness acceptability curves. Results: We identified 1190 studies; 611 were eligible for inclusion. The interventions most likely to achieve vaginal delivery (VD) within 24 hours were intravenous oxytocin with amniotomy [posterior rank 2; 95% credible intervals (CrIs) 1 to 9] and higher-dose (≥ 50 μg) vaginal misoprostol (rank 3; 95% CrI 1 to 6). Compared with placebo, several treatments reduced the odds of caesarean section, but we observed considerable uncertainty in treatment rankings. For uterine hyperstimulation, double-balloon catheter had the highest probability of being among the best three treatments, whereas vaginal misoprostol (≥ 50 μg) was most likely to increase the odds of excessive uterine activity. For other safety outcomes there were insufficient data or there was too much uncertainty to identify which treatments performed ‘best’. Few studies collected information on women’s views. Owing to incomplete reporting of the VD within 24 hours outcome, the cost-effectiveness analysis could compare only 20 interventions. The analysis suggested that most interventions have similar utility and differ mainly in cost. With a caveat of considerable uncertainty, titrated (low-dose) misoprostol solution and buccal/sublingual misoprostol had the highest likelihood of being cost-effective. Limitations: There was considerable uncertainty in findings and there were insufficient data for some planned subgroup analyses. Conclusions: Overall, misoprostol and oxytocin with amniotomy (for women with favourable cervix) is more successful than other agents in achieving VD within 24 hours. The ranking according to safety of different methods was less clear. The cost-effectiveness analysis suggested that titrated (low-dose) oral misoprostol solution resulted in the highest utility, whereas buccal/sublingual misoprostol had the lowest cost. There was a high degree of uncertainty as to the most cost-effective intervention
