The movement of inclusion school increasingly are entering students with disabilities in regular schools and consequently the classes of Physical Education. This proposal, including school, has been shown in practice with many difficulties such as: the non-involvement of managers in this process, lack of preparation of the teacher in their initial and continuous training, inadequate physical space to carry out the lessons; excessive number of students the classes; absence of strategies for education that will enable the effective participation of students with disabilities in classes of physical education, among others. This research has developed a work on tutoring as a strategy for education, in which a student with disabilities received help from another student during the performance of motor tasks. In this context, this research aimed to examine the effects of a training program for tutors on the participation of a student with mental disabilities associated with autism in the classes of Physical Education. It is supported by methodological assumption of feature predominantly qualitative study of the type of case. The subject of this research were: a professor of Physical Education, a student with mental disabilities associated with autism; five tutors. And interview technique were used as instruments of observation for data collection. At first there were filming the lessons of Physical Education of a school of the Network of Education Hall of Ilhéus - BA, before and after the training of tutors. The results showed that the tutoring of education as a strategy to increase the participation of students with disabilities was effective. There was involvement on the part of fellow tutors. As for the training of tutoring the data showed that more time is needed for post-training assistance from the tutors are more effective. It was concluded that the inclusion school is a utopia, but by means of draft strategies for teaching it is possible to contribute to this process if effective over time so that in future present a Physical Education for all without the need to explain in terminology of redundant Physical Education inclusive.

Herbert Marcuse was the author of a controversial critique of the thesis of the neutrality of technology and science, presented mainly in his book published in 1964, One-Dimensional Man: studies in the ideology of advanced industrial society. The aim of the work is an understanding of that critique, and it is divided into three parts. The first one deals with the influence that the philosophical discussions of the 1940 s and 1950 s had on the development of the theme in Marcuse s thought. The second part is a study of the origins of the critique of neutrality in texts written by Marcuse in his youth that brings to light the very peculiar way he articulates philosophy and Marxism, which in turn, as it is shown in the third part, leads to a severe criticism of the advanced industrial societies. The approach to technique, science and politics that follows from that double philosophic and social conception is the basis for the structuring of Marcuse s thought.

In this work, the Pb-Al meta-phosphate glass system (1-x) Pb(PO3)2 xAl(PO3)3 was studied, with the aim of determining the structural effects induced in the glass network by the substitution of Pb by Al. In the series of glasses encompassing the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 the composition meta [O/P] = 3 was maintained. In this way, the resulting phosphate network will be composed mainly by phosphate tetrahedra in condensation Q2 (chains or rings), simplifying the formulation of structural models. The structure of this system was analyzed trough a combination of Raman spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The structural environments around the network former and modifiers species were analyzed by 31P, 27Al and 207Pb-NMR, quantifying the distribution of phosphate groups and determining the coordination numbers of Al and Pb. For phosphate groups, several Q2 species were identified according to the number of P-O-Pb and P-O-Al bonds established by each tetrahedron. Through the quantitative analysis of the evolution of the population of these species with the concentration of Al, it was possible to infer specific characteristics of organization of the Al coordination polyhedra and phosphate tetrahedra. Phosphates share preferentially only a single corner with an Al-O polyhedron, which is found with high coordination number, and the other corner with a Pb-polyhedron. As x is increased, this medium range arrangement around Al is maintained through the progressive decrease of the Al coordination number, up to a certain critical concentration (x = 0.43). Above this concentration, the arrangement is not sustained and phosphates sharing two corners with Al-polyhedrons appear. On the other hand, the environments around Pb have high coordination numbers and a considerable degree of cornersharing between Pb-polyhedra was determined. The dependence of Pb coordination number with composition is determined by the quantity of available Onp, without apparent modification in the degree of O-sharing. The behavior observed for the local order around the Al and the arrangement of coordination polyhedra is similar to the observed in tow other meta-phosphates (Ca-Al and Na-Al), pointing out to a possible general trend for ternary phosphate glasses.

The history of deficiency was always made by an exclusion way. However, there were movements as integration and inclusion that have contributed to change the rights and conditions of people with deficiency. Besides all efforts of researchers to give a concept that deficiency is due to both social and cultural conditions, determined by society, the meaning of mental retardation remains as personal problem, without social context and no social sense. The participation of adult mental retarded people in their community in leisure activities, as well as places that allow sharing experiences with their peers must contribute to live together, to practice citizenship and to facilitate changes on deficiency representation, altering segregation attitudes and to develop public policies by according with an inclusive society model. In order to answer those question the objectives of this research is to identify and analyze the social participation of the adults with mental retardation, related to places, leisure activities, and also the perception of the family in this process. The approach was qualitative, using half-structured interview that was analyzed by content analysis method. The results showed lack of opportunities, lack of self-determination, no or few options to choice leisure activities among adults with mental retardation and familial over protection giving these people difficulty in participation and autonomy within that social context.

nearby areas. In spite of their increasingly relevant ecologic importance, those ecosystems are continuously suffering the impacts of agricultural activities. The present work had as objectives: (i) to analyze the relationships between socio-economic characteristics and environmental perceptions of a community of small producers and the riparian forest area of an agricultural micro-basin in Teresópolis region, RJ; and (ii) to study the effects of agricultural impacts on the arboreal component of these forests. Semi-structured interviews were applied to farmers. Five springs were selected to study riparian forest. Areas of 10x10m were delimited in springs surrounding sites, within which every tree with DAP>5cm were sampled. Farmers presented monthly familiar incomes below the State and County averages. The area is being transformed since the 1980s, when big riparian forests started to be substituted with cultivated lands and pastures. The process of water decline in springs seems to be associated to wrong management practices of riparian areas and water resources. The proximity of occupied areas to riparian forests negatively influenced diversity indexes (H ) and total basal area values (m2/ha). Invasive species and domestic animals were observed at springs areas, making these environments more susceptible to anthropogenic impacts. Results from this work suggest than, although riparian forests studied presented characteristics typical of disturbed ecosystems, they can still play a key role in the maintenance of regional biodiversity. Interest demonstrated by farmers in preserving local remnants constitutes an important base to include them into planning and implementation of future projects that considered both the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable development of these communities.

The lack of knowledge about ecology and taxonomy of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in several regions of Brazil restrict the advance of programs about population control, environmental impact assessment and conservation of biodiversity. With the aim of assessing the diversity of black fly species in the State of São Paulo, we realized collections in 151 localities, including from low order streams to the main rivers of all hydrographic basins in this State. We collected and identified 43 species, of which Simulium incrustatum, S. pertinax, S. subpallidum, S. nigrimanum and S. inaequale were the most frequent species in streams under anthropogenic influence and, consequently, had the widest geographic distribution in the State of São Paulo. Two other species were also frequent, S. subnigrum and S. subclavibranchium had its geographic distribution restrict to Atlantic Forest areas. Both species belong to the Inaequalium subgenus. The species within the Inaequalium subgenus usually live in forested streams. Four species from this subgenus showed morphological variations that became difficult its identification. The study of CO1 gene (DNA Barcode), morphological variations and geographic distribution allowed separated, partially, the boundaries among the following species: S. nahimi and S. subclavibranchium with well defined limits. S. subnigrum and S. nogueirai were not possible to distinguish and the results showed that may be a species complex.

The sensibility to sound structure of oral language is characterized as the development of abilities of phonological awareness, which have been categorized as rhyme and onset skills, syllabic skills and phonemic skills (the latter two are subcategorized into synthesis, analysis, manipulation and transposition). Studies demonstrated bidirectional relation between phonological awareness and acquisition of reading. However, treating all the skills together, is unclear how each one develops; if each one is or is not independent of the others and if the development of ones can affect the development of another. The purpose of this study was to promote the teaching of phonological awareness at six elementary school children and verify the progress development of each skill, taught separately and sequentially, through a teaching program designed. A multiple baseline design between abilities was employed to assess possible effects of each one ability to another. The 10 abilities were assessed individually before start the program and after the teaching of each one. The Phonological Awareness Test was applied before and at the final of the program instruction and adaptations of it (developed by the experimenter) were implemented after the teaching of each skill. The tasks were conducted in a playful environment, with colorful and manipulated material to represent sounds. All participants showed a considerable development of abilities that were missing or incipient in the first assessment. The multiple baseline design showed a high degree of functional independence between abilities, suggesting that each skill can be acquired independently of the others. This study thus provided a contribution to the refinement conceptual and a methodological contribution. The results showed little interference for one ability to the others, indicating to a possible functional independence between abilities, suggests the importance of systematic teaching and assessing of each one and all abilities, to ensure their complete development. On the other hand, this study raises the question of whether appropriate conditions for procedures could promote the development of interdependence between abilities, to become the teaching more effective and economic, without the necessity of each one discrimination ability involved in phonological awareness.

The international literature has shown that, in general, there is an impairment of social skills in mental disability and other frameworks for special educational needs. In the Brazilian context, there are few studies that assess social skills in children with mental disability and one of the reasons seems may be a lack of assessment tools validated and standardized for this population. Considering these shortcomings, the objectives of this research were: (a) assess psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS-BR), forms answered by teachers and students, specifically internal consistency and convergent validity, in a sample of children with mental disabilities, (b) make the analysis of criterion validity, based on the comparison between the results of a sample of children with mental disabilities and children with typical development, and (c) to establish normative standards of the SSRS-BR for children with mental disabilities, compared to the patterns found for children with typical development. Participants of the survey 84 children with mental disabilities and their teachers, selected in a special school, which assessed social skills, behavior problems and academic competence using SSRS-BR. About internal consistency, were found positive and significant correlations between the global scales and all subscales of the same construct, and positive correlations between the scales of social skills and academic competence and negative between the scales of social skills and behavior problems. Regarding the criterion validity in the evaluation by students, it was observed that in a global scale of social skills and in five of the subscales (responsibility, empathy, assertiveness, self-control and expression of positive feeling), the instrument was able to differentiate, significantly, the groups of children with and without disability. The version for evaluation by teachers was able to discriminate significantly groups with and without disabilities in the global scales of social skills, behavior problems and academic competence and in the subscales of self-control, internalizing problems and externalizing problems. The convergent validity was not satisfactory, because there was no correlation between the global scales and subscales common in the forms of evaluation by students and by teachers. Differences were observed between the normative standards for children with and without disability, in both instruments, and the disabled group showed lower cut-off points for the scales of social skills and academic competence and higher for the scale of behavior problems. This study allows provide the scales of SSRS-BR for use in future researches, assessment procedures and programs of intervention in the area of Social Skills Training, in children with mental disabilities.

The ground of Social Science, in the nineteenth century, is an attempt to establish an independent field of knowledge from discussions with the Modern Philosophy. This autonomy appears in the design of social reality on the one hand and the configuration of a new epistemological model on the other. In view of this, this work suggests discussing the prospect of Karl Mannheim as an assessment of previous proposals (Positivism and Marxism) and therefore being able to open a new model of Social Sciences by redefining both the design of social reality on the modern epistemology. Therefore, the bias to this approach is the notion of ideology, used by Mannheim to support as a social ontology that prints the determination in social science, where to find the basis of Social Sciences. In this way for it will redeem the originality of the questions and answers presented by the author for the formation of Social Sciences

The project of enlightenment (Aufklärung) was to disenchant the world, replacing the myths and the imagination by the knowledge. This process is essential for the human being can achieve the autonomy. But instead of conducting the individual to autonomy, as it was thought in the Illuminist project, the enlightenment disembogued into a process of semi-formation that causes the loss of identity and cancellation of the individual, approaching humanity to a totalitarian system. As Adorno and Horkheimer said at the preface of the Dialectic of Enlightenment: "Not harbour any doubt - and so our petitio principii lies - that the freedom in society is inseparable from thinking enlightenment." The progress of rational enlightenment over its development process is gradually creating serious obstacles to the construction of autonomy, or even denying this possibility, when giving priority only to the technical and scientific aspects of the reason (instrumental reason). This is due in large part to the action of the cultural industry, officer semi-formation. The intention of this work, which has its theoretical foundation in the philosophy of Critical theory, especially in the thought of Theodor Adorno, is to search in culture and art the elements that could annul the semi-formation, and help in the construction of identity and autonomy of individuals, rescuing the potential and emancipating of the enlightenment.

Aquatic birds do interact in many ways with freshwater ecosystems. Birds can be considered the most important dispersers of freshwater algae between water bodies. Moreover, birds also can contribute to nutrient loading in freshwater lakes and reservoirs. In this paper the ecto and endozoochoric dispersal potential of freshwater algae by waterbirds was acessed. The places of study were the Monjolinho reservoir, in São Carlos municipality (SP), and Tropeiros lake, in Piumhi municipality (MG). Also studied was the contribution to nutrient loading by two colonies of Bubulcus ibis, the cattle egret, in two freshwater bodies: Tropeiros lake and Iembó reservoir, locate at Parque Itaipu, São Carlos municipality. By means of culture inoculation with material obtained from washing the body of the birds, it was observed that these species of birds are potential dispersers of phytoplanktonic algae and can carry up to 22 species of algae attached to feathers per individual (ectozoochory). A minor number of species of algae was also observed in cultures inoculated with material derived from faeces of birds, featuring a potential case of endozoochoric transport potential. Regarding the nutrient loading by colony of cattle egrets, was detected a change both in the content of organic matter in the sediment located in areas where the birds sleep as well as greater eutrophication of water in these regions. It was also observed a trend to higher density of biomass in banks of aquatic macrophytes used for night rest, with a consequent increase in the density of organisms associated with aquatic macrophytes. However, no significant differences were observed in the benthic fauna, when comparing the samples of sediment obtained in both points located in the rest areas as in nonrest areas, but it was found that these colonies contribute significantly to the nutrient loading in these systems.

In the Destruction of Reason, from 1953, Georg Lukács plays several thinkers as philosophics idealizers of german way to Hitler. This work has as purpose to show such reading as a mistake. Another moment, through a deviation about the Hungarian author s trajectory, shows also that there is a transformation in the writing style after his convertion on the communist party in 1918, wich emphasires mainly after the thirties, in it s soviet period. On the other hand, shows also that during Lukács last years there is an effort to revise mistakes of the past

Studies indicate that some family characteristics, such as poverty and parents’ low education, low levels of social support, high levels of marital discord, parents’ depression and parents’ mental disorders are risk factors that influence children development. It is observed that among those characteristics, the parents’ mental disorder has been considered a relevant vulnerability factor influencing children’s development. Some studies indicate that mothers who suffer from mental disorders are less affectionate to their children, less available to their needs and demonstrate high levels of insecurity and anxiety. The purposes of this study were: identifying the parenting and the social support levels of mothers who suffer from humor disorders and investigating the relation between these elements and the social-emotional development levels of their children. The participants were ten children aged between 7 and 12 years old and their mothers: five children of mothers with mental disorders and five children of mothers without mental disorders, who composed the control group. The instruments which were used in the data collect were: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), which evaluated the children’s socialemotional development; Parenting Style Inventory (IEP), that aimed to identify the mothers’ parenting in their children’s education and the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ), which evaluated the social support provided to the mothers. The data analyses were carried out through statistic studies. The results indicate that the mothers who suffer from humor disorders are less satisfied with the social support that is provided to them. Also, they punish their children in a less consistent way when compared with mothers from the control group. Moreover, it was identified in mothers with mental disorders a risky parenting that can contribute to the development of anti-social behaviors in their children. Concerning the children’s social-emotional development, the results did not reveal significant differences between the groups, so that the maternal humor disorders do not seem to influence directly the children’s social-emotional development.

Objective: To evaluate the recovery of ankle articular cartilage of rats after applying unilateral cyclic passive muscle stretching protocol in previously hindlimb immobilization. Methods: fourty Wistar rats were divided in seven groups: C- control; I- immobilized ; RI- seven weeks recovery after immobilization; S- Stretched; RS- seven weeks recovery after stretch; IS- immobilized and stretched; ISR- immobilized-stretched and seven weeks recovery. The left ankle joint from the groups I, RI, IS and ISR were immobilized for 4 week. In the muscle stretching protocol the left ankle joint was mantained manually full dorsal flexed, 10 times for 60s with a 30s rest between each stretch, seven days a week for three weeks, to stretch the ankle plantar flexors muscle of groups IS, S, ISR and SR. The right ankle joint were free to move. After this intervention period, the rats of RI, RS, ISR groups was free to move for recovery during seven weeks. At the end of experiment, the animals were sacrified and the ankles were removed, decalcified and processed in paraffin, and stainded with Hematoxilin-Eosin. Two blinded observers evaluated morphologic changes by Mankin score. A morphometric study was carried out using a hand count of chondrocytes cells and cartilage thickness measuraments. Results: No changes in all thickness was found. The C group had the calcified cartilage bigger than the other groups. The IS group had in your treated limb more cells and clonings than the IR group, and in the non-treated more cell and clonings than the C, RI and SR groups. Conclusions: The muscle stretching after immobilization increases the number of chondrocytes and the presence of cloning, and when free movement is allowed during the recovery period from immobilization, the chondrocyte characteristics tend to return to those present before immobilization, suggesting better cellular recovery

Dynamic vulcanization is a process of vulcanization of an elastomer during melt mixing with a thermoplastic which results in a material with better chemical and mechanical properties at high temperature. The PVC/NBR blends were obtained by reactive processing and in situ dynamic curing. The crosslinking of PVC/NBR blends was accomplished using sulphur (S)/tetramethylthiuram disulphide (TMTD) and mercaptobenzothiazyl disulphide (MBTS) curative system during the reactive processing. The blends of PVC/NBR at the ratio of 90/10; 80/20 and 70/30 wt% were melt mixed using an internal mixer at 160°C and rotor speed of 60rpm. The degrees of crosslinking of the blends obtained by the reactive process were analyzed through Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR), swelling and degree of cure. Higher crosslink densities were obtained the systems with higher amount of elastomer. The mechanical properties evaluated by tensile properties, tear strength, hardness and compression set showed that the dynamic vulcanized blends have a better performance compared to the similar conventional ones. It was observed an increase of 92% in the tensile stress to the dynamic vulcanized blend PVC/NBR (70/30) with partitioning agent of PVC and an increase of 205% in the Young´s modulus to the dynamic vulcanized blend PVC/NBR (90/10) with partitioning agent of CaCO3. The morphology of the blends examined by scanning electron microscopy evidenced the crosslinking formation only in the elastomeric phase. The vulcanized rubber particles are responsible by the increase of stiffness and consequently displayed better mechanical properties.

The purpose of this research is to identify, systematize and evaluate three (3) methodologies applied to hydrographic basins and developed for the planning and management of the urban environment related to environmental concerns. The analyzed methods are some of the ones developed at the Federal University in Sao Carlos itself, such as PESMU and AMORIM & CORDEIRO, and a mathematical modeling with SWAT that interfaces with the ARCVIEW software. The research methodology was developed from the differences e similarities as for the used methods that were transformed in analysis criteria. These criteria were selected prioritizing the focus on the conditions that the evaluation method should offer to give support to the manager. For that reason, some characteristics, such as reliability, scientific validity, the standardization and accessibility of data were analyzed, so that, even when applied in different places, with distinct characteristics, there could be a comparison between answers in the different cases. The indicators of the methods were also analyzed to ascertain the range potential of the themes, their interpretability and representativeness. Other factors are also extremely important for managers, like application easiness and the type of cost involved in the analysis. The discussion about the results was carried out based on a critical text listing positive and negative aspects of the evaluated methods, besides a proposition of maintenance, elimination or alteration of the analyzed items, as well as of a systematization of the principal characteristics of each method. Before the performed analysis, the conclusion is that there is not a method that is the best one, but the most appropriate for each particular situation. While the AMORIM & CORDEIRO and PESMU methods have a more global focus for the diagnosis, the SWAT method analyzes the basin physical characteristics more deeply and becomes flexible in the interface with SIG. The three methods are complementary when it comes to that complex environment that is a hydrographic basin, since it contains interrelated physical, biological and social-economic information. The more complex the analysis, the greater the efficacy, but it also increases the cost and the response time, so all the characteristics should always be thought and pondered before the choice of the method or methods to be applied on a specific place. Besides, the existing input data should be checked so that the analyses do not become erroneous or subjective.

Currently there is a lot of knowledge about the effects of non resistant cyclic exercises such as the racing, the swimming, and the cycling. However the resistant exercises even though more practiced (the working out) still need more scientific explanation, mainly concerning to the obese population. The goal of this research is to determine the effect of the resisted exercise practice in different intensities on the corporeal composition and the physical capability in obese women. Thirty three volunteers of the female gender participated from this research, thirteen of them working out in low intensity (Lower RER group L), fourteen working out in moderate intensity (threshold anaerobic group M) and six that were part of the control group. All the volunteers went through a corporeal composition evaluation, maximum consumption of oxygen, maximum muscular strength, yet increasing test in resistant exercises were taken besides pre and pos working out practice clinic exams. Media descriptive statistics was used and pattern deviation to demonstrate the data and it was opted by the curtose and asymmetry analysis, after the one way Anova variance analysis was performed at every variance and to those which were considered significant as post hoc the Tukey test. It was established for the rejection the hypothesis of nullity (H0) p < 0, 05. There can be observed decrease in the following variances: corporeal weight 7% to group L and 10,5% to group M; BMI of 7,8% to group L and 10,5% to group M; %F 11,8% to group L and 24,1% to group M; FM 19% to group L and 32,3% to group M. Yet, increase was gotten to the following variances: FFM 5,6% to group M; VO2 max. of 51,8% to group L and 63,4% to group M. Regarding to the muscular strength to the superior members there was an improvement of 45,6% to group L and of 68,8% to group M, then to the inferior members there was an improvement of muscular strength of 49,9% to group L and of 68,9% to group M. According to these results it follows that even with the improvements of the corporeal composition, physical capability level and muscular strength to both working out practice intensities, it is important to remind that initiating a physical working out practice mainly to sedentary people it is necessary a postural adaptation to this kind of working out practice, so that lesions won t occur. Thus the lowest intensity is easier to correct the posture in the various working out equipments.

It is well-known that cardiac autonomic and pulmonary function are impaired after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Strategies resulting in beneficial cardiorespiratory responses as soon as possible after surgery are clinically important in these patients. However, information on the differences in cardiorespiratory responses of these patients to inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) with distinct left ventricular (LVF) is still scant. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the cardiorespiratory responses to a short-term inpatient CR programme in patients with LVF normal and reduced. Twenty three patients were studied and divided into LVF normal group (LVFN, n=12) or reduced group (LVFR, n=11). Cardiac autonomic function was evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV) and the pulmonary function by spirometric and respiratory muscle strength (RMS) at (1) post-operative day 1 (PO1) and (2) day before discharge. Heart rate (HR) and R-R intervals (R-Ri) were recorded by telemetry system Polar S810i, at rest, in supine and sitting position. HRV was evaluated in time domain by mean R-R (mean R-R), square root of the mean squared differences of successive R-Ri (RMSSD) and standard deviation of all R-Ri (SDNN) indexes (ms) The spirometric data of vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) were obtained and the RMS was measured indirectly by maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures. All patients initiated the CR on PO1 following a programme of progressive steps composed of whole body and breathing exercises previously established until discharge. Results: After inpatient CR, both groups presented improvement of mean R-R (ms) and RMSSD (ms) indexes at rest and beneficial response to postural change with lower RMSSD (ms) index in sitting position. Significant improvement of pulmonary function in both groups was observed to majority spirometric data as FVC, MVV and FEV1 and RMS only presented tend to improvement in response to CR programme Conclusions: These results indicate that patients undergoing CABG with preserved or depressed LVF presented beneficial cardiorespiratory responses to CR after surgery. We also assign slightly more favourable responses on autonomic function in those with depressed LVF without additional risks. Therefore, the inpatient whole CR should be strongly indicates as soon as possible post-CABG even in patients with cardiac dysfunction. Financial support: CNPq e FAPESP (05/59427-7).
