A tall, big-boned woman, with a gray sweater thrown across her curved shoulders, comes toward her with her hand extended.

They shake. Edna thinks her own hand in the woman’s looks like a child’s.

The big woman says, “Edna Nowell? Yes, I thought so. Thanks for agreeing to meet me here in Philly. Sorry I wasn’t able to fly you up here or meet you in the capitol. You know my mother lives in Seattle? You’d have to move out there.”...

Painting and Poetry
Authors: Corthron Kia
Published: January 2022

Poets almost inevitably reflect painterly ideas and ideals, and methods and processes in their work. Painters too almost inevitably reflect the principles of poetry—metaphor, narrative, symbolism, and so forth.

At a conference at Washington University in St. Louis in 1997, on the relationship between poetry and painting, Derek Walcott said: “When we look at paintings that do not attempt to mimic the page, but make something more than just calligraphy, there is an echo that goes with that painting. The echo need not be the linear representation of an idea, like a piece of prose, or fiction painted, or even a poem painted, but some other echo that it creates.”...

Part 5 includes 23 poems. Some of the poems--for example, “Water and Sand,” “Faith,” and “Alchemy”--employ rapid scene cuts and flash images. The poem, “Hair,” delves deep into Black hair superstitions, wryly but without judgement. His own epic poem, “The Slave Trade: View from the Middle Passage” shows that art can be both political and didactic. The rest of the poems in this section deal with diverse themes and topics including work, grief, weakness, justice, faith, and place.
Clay Bison in a Cave

Clay-tan, eyeless,

voiceless, even in a sense weightless,

in motion yet motionless still

for centuries and centuries,

stuck in this motion

two Paleolithic bison,

heads lifted, strained back

to the black endless sky,

as they climb toward sunny grass.

Which black sky? Which grass?...

I was there looking for the house

where my father died.

An old neighborhood,

clean and orderly,

Windows covered with white lace,

behind which nobody seemed to live.

Thanks to a restless cloudy sky,

a gray light hung over it all....

Introduction. Fetal Acrania is a rare fetal malformation characterized by the complete or partial absence of a skull covering the fetal brain. In the absence of a hard covering of the soft brain tissue, Acrania is known as a universally lethal malformation.  Here we present a Fetal Acrania case detected by sonographic examination at our Center.

Case Description. A 36 years old female was referred to the obstetric department to undergo an in-depth sonographic evaluation as a previous examination reveals a potential congenital fetal anomaly. Our sonographic evaluation revealed a singleton, live fetus, 12 weeks gestational age in cephalic presentation and longitudinal lie. One obvious malformation was a well-formed fetal brain without the surrounding cranium (Acrania). The absence of cranium was the main and only malformation. The absence of cranium was evident as the fetal brain was easily compressed on probe pressure, and the brain appeared like floating in the amniotic fluid over the base of the skull. Therapeutic abortion was carried out. The termination was conducted by administering four tablets of 200 mcg misoprostol sublingually and repeated 24 hours later. No adverse reaction or complication on termination. The aborted fetal examination confirmed the lack of fetal cranium.

Conclusion. Although seemingly obvious, the first-trimester diagnosis of fetal Acrania must be made with caution as the fetal cranium is not fully calcified before 10- 11 weeks. As Acrania is a universally lethal malformation, therapeutic abortion is indicated.

Marx, ciencia de la contingencia
Authors: Stark Alejo
Published: January 2022

En su libro On the Nature of Marx’s Things Jacques Lezra hereda otro Marx, y otro materialismo. Un materialismo aleatorio, un materialismo de la contingencia dinámica de Marx y sus “cosas”. Tal “corriente subterránea” del materialismo aleatorio es excavada por Lezra en su desvío por las cartas, cuadernos y notas “privadas” de un joven Marx que trabajaba en su tesis de doctorado. Siguiendo el hilo necrofilológico de Lezra, que se topa con Lucrecio y sus “cosas,” encontramos que, paralelamente, Marx también busca un concepto de ciencia en su tesis: lo que tentativamente nombramos ciencia de la contingencia. Ciencia, no ya disciplinaria, que abre la posibilidad de una alianza con el materialismo performativo de Karen Barad que desplaza el humanismo de los “nuevos materialismos” desde una reflexión critica que piensa a la par de otra ciencia de la contingencia, también de cierta herencia lucreciana, con la cual Marx no llegó a pensar: la mecánica cuántica.

São amplamente conhecidos e discutidos os efeitos negativos à concorrência advindos de práticas tributárias. Por vezes, contudo, se assume que tais distorções não constituem ilícitos concorrenciais e que, portanto, não devem ser objeto de enforcement pelo Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Cade). O presente artigo analisa a jurisprudência do Cade e do Judiciário sobre a questão e esforços legislativos em determinar o conceito de devedor contumaz, ou regulamentar o artigo 146-A da Constituição Federal. Como conclusão, entende-se que certos ilícitos tributários podem também constituir ilícitos concorrenciais, apresentando para tanto possível filtro para essa análise, calcado na avaliação de (i) reiteração da prática evasiva; (ii) alta tributação e baixa margem de lucro do mercado afetado; (iii) aumento significativo da participação de mercado pela empresa investigada; (iv) correlação entre a maior participação de mercado e a conduta evasiva; e (v) verificação de dano efetivo à concorrência.

Published: January 2022

Extreme weather events such as high and low temperatures, heavy rainfall etc. claim thousands of lives and cause extensive damage to natural and regional economy.  According to a report of the Bureau of Canada (Ungar 1999) there were no natural disasters before 1987 which caused insured losses of more than US $ 1 billion.  During the past decade there have been 18 such disasters.  The finding supports the fact that the impacts of these extreme events in terms of economic losses are increasing.

                The paper presents a study of critical extreme maximum/minimum temperature days for 103 well distributed stations over the country for a data period of 30 years from 1971-2000.  The trends are studied separately for stations south of 20° N, north of 20° N, coastal stations and NE Indian stations by using least square method and the significance is tested using t-statistic.  The results are presented.
Association of Mortality and Charlson Comorbidity Index in Surgical Spinal Trauma Patients at a Level I Academic Center
Authors: McGee Andrew , Levitt Eli B. , Prather John C. , Crowther Doug , McGwin Gerald , Theiss Steven
Published: January 2022

Objectives:

The Charlson Comorbidity Index score (CCI) records the presence of comorbidities with various weights for a total score to estimate mortality within 1 year of hospital admission. Our study sought to assess the association of CCI with mortality rates of patients undergoing surgical intervention.

Study Design:

Retrospective study.

Methods:

Retrospective study of patients with surgical spinal trauma at a large academic level I trauma tertiary center from 2015 to 2018. Information collected included age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, body mass index, Charlson comorbidities, injury severity score, the presence of spinal cord injury, and mortality. Mortality was measured at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were completed. The results were significant at P < 0.05.

Results:

The highest proportion of 1-year mortality was in the patients with cervical (11.3%) and thoracolumbar injuries (7.4%) (P = 0.002). Patients with low CCI had low 1-year mortality (1.7%). Patients with high CCI had high 1-year mortality (13.8%) (P < 0.001). A significant association existed between CCI and mortality at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year (P < 0.001). Mortality was higher in patients with spinal cord injury (14/108; 13%) than in those without (11/232; 5%) (P = 0.021). No association existed between ISS and mortality (P = 0.26).

Discussion:

The CCI was associated with a higher proportion of deaths at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year. This association may help predict this unfortunate complication and guide the surgical team in formulating treatment plans and counseling patients and families regarding mortality associated with these injuries and the risks of surgical intervention.

The Power of Stories to Build Partnerships and Shape Change
Authors: Romero Deborah
Published: January 2022

This essay reflects on the power of storytelling and narrative in a collaborative partnership that engaged undergraduate pre-service English as Second Language (ESL) candidates and their professor with local ESL high school teachers, immigrant and refugee students, and their families. It describes how undergraduate students worked with teachers and students to collect stories and publish a multilingual book about their journeys, memories of home, and transitions into their new life in the United States. This project and the resulting self-published book, which was shared at several community and public events, exemplify the fundamentals of reciprocal and transformative partnerships. The nature and importance of such partnerships are examined, including recommendations for similar undertakings, and a discussion about how the book students and families were empowered by sharing their voices. It closes by examining how the book became a tangible means to transcend the initial partnership and to promoting new understandings and relationships through sustained community engagement.

Management Reforms in Activation Programmes and Public Employment Services The Turkish Case
Authors: GÜLEÇ TAŞDEMIR Aslı
Published: January 2022

There are many studies on the ways in which activation paradigm has been integrated into the reform of welfare states. Activation paradigm and related policies serve to activate citizens to take more responsibility for their own welfare through paid employment. Active labour market policies (ALMPs) have constituted one of the important policy fields in which active welfare understanding have been materialised and thus become a significant instrument of activation. These programs and relevant measures constitute formal policy reforms. There is also a rising literature on procedural policy reforms in the field of activation, which is about the ways that ALMPs are managed, that is, the governance of activation. Recent procedural reforms include measures shaped by the New Public Management thinking such as performance management or management by objectives, and the process of marketization through quasi markets. The debates on the governance of activation show the ways in which management reforms shape the content of activation reforms. This study attempts to evaluate those debates on procedural reforms in ALMPs through review of the relevant literature and based on the Turkish case. Turkey is a late comer in implementation of activation programmes but in the last two decades policy reforms both in ALMPs and in the ways formal policy reforms are governed and implemented have accelerated.

En la naturaleza, la síntesis de metabolitos secundarios ocurre cuando hay efecto de factores bióticos y abióticos como el agua de mar y la simbiosis microbiana con otros materiales vivos. Cuando esto se explica en las vías metabólicas, la síntesis de metabolitos secundarios se ve afectada por los nutrientes disponibles y regulada por moléculas autoinductoras a través del mecanismo de detección de quórum.
Necessity of Protecting Religious Feelings under Criminal Law in a Democratic State
Authors: Sobczyk Paweł
Published: January 2022

Offending religious feelings, as referred to in Article 196 of the Polish Penal Code, was criminalized as follows: ‘Any person who offends the religious feelings of others by publicly insulting an object of religious worship or a place dedicated to the public celebration of religious rites shall be liable to a fine, restriction of freedom or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.’ This study highlights some doubts concerning the protection of freedom of conscience and religion using the example of the crime of offending religious feelings and attempts to prove the necessity of such protection in the Republic of Poland, a democratic state ruled by the law. The study first examines whether criminalising offences to religious feelings contravenes the constitutionally and internationally guaranteed freedom of speech (expression), freedom of conscience and religion, and broadly understood democratic standards. The study then examines whether criminal law is too strict an instrument to apply to alleged offences against religious feelings, and whether administrative or civil law (thought to be more lenient) is sufficient for ensuring the protection of individual freedoms and rights in this regard.
From Marital Property Law To Family Property Law
Authors: Barzó Tímea
Published: January 2022

Although the legislator prefers the institution of marriage and accepts it as a form of family relationship, the system of family relationships has altered as a result of social changes, which can also be seen in the legal regulation. Therefore, the framework of previous thinking, which is almost exclusively based on matrimonial property rights, has been modified by the social and economic changes and the consequent constant change in regulation and attitudes. As a result, not only matrimonial property regimes but also the legal relationship between persons living in a registered partnership or de facto partnership, and their relationship with third parties are covered by matrimonial property law as well. Consequently, it is necessary to apply a new comprehensive terminology to these property relations, which is family property law.

However, it can also be stated that during the development of the family property regulation, the legislator sought to incorporate guarantees into the system during the analysis of the diversity of family relationships, which prevented the endangerment of family existence, the vulnerability of the weaker partner or the rights of minors belonging to the family. However, most of the protecting provisions in the family property law apply to persons living in a marriage (registered partnership), the property relations of de facto partners are less regulated, and they contain only partially, or under certain circumstances family protection standards, legal consequences, and safeguards. The reason of this is that the legislature protects and favours marriage in principle over the other two legally regulated forms of partnership, by which it encourages young people and couples to marriage which requires mutual responsibility, solidarity, and commitment.
Religious Education in the Public Sphere in Slovenia
Authors: Staničić Frane
Published: January 2022

Slovenia is among the few European states that explicitly do not allow religious education in public schools. This rule is prescribed by the Organization and Financing of Upbringing and Education Act (Education Act), which explicitly prohibits all religious activities in public schools. It prohibits any other kind of denominational activity in public schools and kindergartens. Several Slovene authors have argued that the area of education runs a high risk of either remaining or becoming a battlefield for ideological disputes. This study analyses the Slovenian legal regulation of religious education in public schools. First, the Slovenian model of state–church relations is explained. Then, a brief overview of the historical regulation of religious education in Slovenia’s public schools is provided in order to enable a clear understanding of current regulations.
Some Remarks on the ‘Shechita Case’ of the ECJ
Authors: Marinkás György
Published: January 2022

This study strives to answer why the European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) ‘Centraal Israëlitisch Consistorie van België’ judgment, delivered on 17 December 2020, triggered heated reactions. Similarly, sharp criticisms were articulated regarding the recent decision of the Belgian Constitutional Court (Grondwettelijk Hof), where the Court upheld the national legislation on the ban of slaughter without prior stunning per the aforementioned ECJ judgment. This study examines the historic, theological, and scientific background of shechita and halal slaughter with reference to the aforementioned framework. Furthermore, the study strives to introduce the pros and cons of the issue to help the reader decide whether the ritual slaughter — the slaughter of animals without prior stunning but following certain rules aimed at sparing animals from useless suffering — is as humane as the modern non-religious method, where the slaughter is conducted with prior stunning. This study also examines the different theological interpretations on the acceptability of stunning animals before slaughter. In the second part, the study briefly introduces the freedom of religion-related case law of the European Court of Human Rights, and thoroughly analyses its Cha’are Shalom ve Tsedek decision.  Moreover, it examines the ECJ’s two ritual slaughter cases, namely the Liga van Moskeeën and Œuvre d’assistance cases, which preceded the Centraal Israëlitisch Consistorie van België case. As a brief excursus into the jurisprudence of the national constitutional courts, this study also introduces two cases brought by the constitutional courts of Germany and Poland. Finally, the third part thoroughly analyses the Advocate General’s opinion and the judgment delivered in the Centraal Israëlitisch Consistorie van België case of the ECJ to highlight the reasons for the different interpretations of the very same EU law.
Mengembalikan Tahapan Uji Publik Pada Pilkada
Authors: Fauzia Marliana Eka
Published: January 2022

The writing of this article is intended to evaluate the urgency of revising the Pilkada Law, on eliminating public examination points. The DPR removed public test points in the revision of the Election Law No. 1 of 2015, and was replaced by the Election Law No. 8 of 2015. Until the current election law No. 10 of 2016 there has been no re-discussion regarding the stages of public testing. The public test is a stage of competency and integrity testing for candidates for regional head and representative in an open manner which is independently formed by the Provincial / Regency / City KPU. Public test points were removed on the grounds that they were inefficient and time consuming. Based on this, the authors identify that the elimination of public testing can limit public participation in deliberative public spaces. And if the public test is returned at the election stage, it can improve the quality of democracy. As a theoretical review in this article the writer uses the concept of public space. While the research method uses qualitative through literature study. The results of this paper indicate that it is important to maintain a public test mechanism to restore the public space for the implementation of the elections. The existence of this public space ensures that there is space for public participation, the public can find out the track record of the candidates, build communication between candidates and voters and that public trials can be used as a deliberative campaign. Therefore, the public test can be returned to the election mechanism by adding a committee from various elements of society (farmers, laborers, entrepreneurs, village heads, educators, students and other elements of civil society). So that the public test becomes the preliminary election before the election day takes place.

This research tries to unravel the patterns that emerge from implementing single-pair candidate elections from electoral supervisors' perspective in Central Java. The aim is to identify the problems of the election, particularly from the electoral supervisory’s point of view. This descriptive qualitative research using the online interview as a primary data collecting method added with a questionnaire and supervisory report as secondary data finds some regulatory gaps regarding the “subject” and “activity” of empty columns. The gap has been the main factor in the issues of the electoral supervisory elections with the single-pair candidate. Moreover, if these gaps are not addressed promptly, it will become an ongoing problem that will re-emerge and even escalate into widespread horizontal conflict. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the electoral institution of single-pair candidates comprehensively to suppress various potential problems.

Making The Case For Abandoning Corporal Punishment On The Learning Disabled
Authors: Taylor Mark
Published: January 2022

Classroom management has evolved from harsh discipline to the emphasis on positive relationship between teachers and students. The modern day classroom discipline approach helps teachers to teach students to become better citizens and responsible for their own behaviors. Some of the approaches include assertive discipline, discipline with dignity, student peer mediation, and restorative justice. Many western countries and a considerable number of states in the U.S. have abandoned corporal punishment for positive behavior management systems. In developed countries, there are laws that set forth specific guidelines regarding free and appropriate public education; however, such countries have also mandated that education must be tailored to meet the needs of disabled children and adults. Disability laws should always benefit disabled children and adults to live and work independently regardless of their physical conditions. Such laws also require teachers and schools to take disabled children into account when enforcing discipline measures in the classroom or school environment. Unfortunately, countries that still use corporal punishment as the only form of classroom discipline are poor countries that do not recognize learning disability as part of their curriculum and education systems. The paper employs meta-analysis of literature reviews and objective knowledge to construct understanding of corporal punishment in poor countries and also those educators in such countries should abandon corporal punishment for psychological treatments that streamline positive students’ behavior, which unlock the opportunities for learning outcomes and improvements.

TENDÊNCIA SECULAR SOBRE O CRESCIMENTO FÍSICO DA ESTATURA E PESO
Authors: Souza Orivaldo F. de
Published: January 2022

O propósito deste ensaio foi investigar o fenômeno da tendência secular ocorrida sobre o crescimento físico da estatura e peso. Desta maneira, observou-se em diferentes grupos populacionais, diversas causas que influenciam a ocorrência da tendência secular ao longo dos períodos filogênicos e ontôgenicos. Este fenômeno foi evidenciado tanto em países desenvolvidos, como nos países subdesenvolvidos, onde no Brasil notou-se antecipação no ganho de estatura e peso masculino em relação ao sexo feminino e maior alteração secular conforme melhora o estrato sócio- econômico. Assim, recomenda-se a estratificação em grupos étnicos e sociais em futuras investigações neste sentido.
REVENDO AS BASES BIOLÓGICAS DA EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: ANTECEDENTES E DETERMINANTES.
Authors: Gonçalves Aguinaldo
Published: January 2022

A partir da convivência e interação com a área em nosso meio, procura-se recuperar antecedentes e determinantes das bases biológicas da Educação Física. Introdutoriamente, constata-se a aparente dicotomia que, a seu respeito, apresentam, em nosso meio, respectivos aparelho formador e sistema utilizador de recursos humanos, no sentido exatamente oposto ao que se observa na área de Higiene/Socorros de Urgência (I). A partir do objetivo de surpreender e compreender as manifestações e consequências biológicas do Movimento Humano, procura-se, incorporando sucessivos exemplos (II), a explicitação de características metodológicas (EI) e desenho do campo básico de atuação (IV).
UMA PROPOSTA TEÓRICA PARA A ESTRUTURA DOS MOVIMENTOS EM HIDROGINÁSTICA, COM ÊNFASE NOS PADRÕES MOTORES
Authors: Moreira Rose Clara de Freitas
Published: January 2022

Este estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver uma proposta teórica para o entendimento da estrutura dos movimen­tos em hidroginástica, com ênfase nos padrões motores. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido, ressaltando aspec­tos relacionados a montagem e execução de exercícios da parte aeróbica de uma aula de hidroginástica. O estudo baseou-se em considerações que definem o movimento humano a partir das capacidades dividindo-as em físicas e motoras 1. Também descreve os padrões motores, como grupos de atos motores com graus diferentes de atuação, dependendo diretamente da ocorrência ou treinamento das capacidades motoras e habilidades como uma ação particular e refinada ou a maneira como ela é executada. Para a padronização da nomenclatura dos termos utilizados e para definir os padrões motores em hidroginástica, utilizou-se uma classificação 2-3em planos específicos nos quais os vários movimentos articulares podem ser classificados, sendo estes: plano ântero- posterior ou sagital; plano lateral ou frontal e piano transverso ou horizontal. Além desta classificação o corpo foi divido em dois grupos: superior e inferior. Os padrões motores correspondem aos exercícios utilizados na parte principal da aula de hidroginástica; foram classificados em padrões motores simples, que corresponde a movi­mentos com ênfase em apenas um grupamento muscular e padrões motores combinados, que correspondem a combinação de movimentos com ênfase em mais de um grupamento muscular de membros superiores ou inferi­ores. Após a construção e análise do quadro de referência pode-se fazer as seguintes considerações: observou- se a existência das capacidades: físicas força, velocidade, flexibilidade e resistência em hidroginástica; das capacidades motoras não houve referência na literatura, embora observações empíricas demonstrem a presença e a importância das mesmas; a existência de diversos padrões motores de movimentos simples e combinados na hidroginástica e finalmente a inexistência de habilidades em hidroginástica.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os efeitos de um programa de reabilitação cardíaca sobre as variáveis cardiorespiratórias em nove sujeitos do sexo masculino coronarianos, em Santa Maria, RS, Brasil. A avaliação após o programa que tinha uma freqüência de 3 vezes por semana durante 12 semanas, indicou que os benefícios do exercício foram caracterizados por um aumento no tempo de esforço (8,89 ± 2,02 para 11,78 ± 2,82 min) p < 0,02; V02máx (33,26 ± 7,25 para 39,72 ± 9,35 ml/Kg/min 1 ) p < 0,036, duplo produto (29.158 ± 6.134,44 para 29.741 ± 4.830,38 mmHg x min1 ), freqüência cardíaca máxima ( 149,89 ± 16,10 para 153,0 ± 22,19 bpm), METsmáx (9,50 ± 2,07 para 11,35 2,67 METs) p < 0,036 e por uma diminuição da pressão arterial ( PAS = 124,44 ± 17,40 para 121,11 ± 10,54 mmHg, PAD = 79,44 ± 8,82 para 76,11 ± 9,28 mmHg) e na máxima (PAS = 193,3 ± 26,46 para 194,44 ± 18,78 mmHg; PAD = 86,11 ± 11,12 para 74,44 ± 7,26 mmHg, p < 0,048). Em conclusão, o programa de reabilitação cardíaca proporcionou uma melhoria na capacidade cardiorespiratória, podendo esta ser uma atividade terapêutica.
ATITUDE DE ESTUDANTES SECUNDARISTAS EM RELAÇÃO À EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA CURRICULAR EM SANTA CATARINA
Authors: Bem Maria Fermínia L. de
Published: January 2022

Os currículos de Educação Física têm sido avaliados buscando proporcionar mudanças de hábitos favoráveis à prática da atividade física relacionados à saúde. A melhor forma de avaliação é conhecer o que os alunos pensam sobre o que deve ser enfatizado, para saber se gostam das aulas e o porquê. Priorizamos o II Grau, pela característica terminal para muitos alunos. Utilizamos como referência as 46 escolas estaduais (EE) de II grau, dos 13 municípios da Grande Florianópolis. A amostragem constituiu-se de 20% dos matriculados nas 3a séries do II Grau, representados por cinco alunos freqüentes e cinco alunos dispensados da Educação Física, em cada EE, presentes por ocasião da visita. Os resultados foram obtidos por um questionário aplicado a 321 estudantes de ambos os sexos e apontam as expectativas dos alunos praticantes em relação à Educação Física: orientar e desenvolver as habilidades motoras visando a prática esportiva e compensar a falta de atividades físicas para o aluno trabalhador, integrando-o na comunidade escolar. Os alunos “dispendados” gostariam de participar das aulas, por acreditarem que a atividade física seja benéfica para saúde. Sugere-se uma maior reflexão em tomo dos currículos e da legislação vigente, que não atendem adequadamente às necessidades apontadas pelos alunos.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar os padrões e critérios antropométricos utilizados na avaliação do estado nutricional de crianças que ingressam na rede municipal e estadual de ensino de Santa Maria, R.S. Para tanto, foram estudados 23 escolares do sexo masculino e 28 do sexo feminino. Os escolares foram diagnosticados, conforme os padrões do "NCHS" e de "Santo André Classe IV" utilizando três indicadores nutricionais: peso/idade, estatura/idade e peso/estatura. Os critérios antropométricos utilizados para a avaliação do estado nutricional dos escolares foram os propostos por Gomes(1956), Seoane e Lathan (1971), Waterlow (1977) e Batista Filho (1976). Os padrões de referência utilizados foram os valores correspondentes ao percentil 50 dos padrões citados acima.Conclui-se que os escolares da amostra estudada, quando colocados na curva de distribuição contínua dos padrões de referência "NCHS" e "Santo André Classe IV", apresentaram diferenças significativas (p< 0.05) nas adequações de peso/idade e estatura/idade. Quanto aos critérios, os resultados indicam diferenças entre os mesmos quanto à classificação nutricional.
