L’immersion et l’activité perceptivo-hallucinatoire dans les groupes thérapeutiques à médiation jeu vidéo
Authors: Jung Johann , Gillet Guillaume
Published: August 2020

Dans cet article, les auteurs proposent d’explorer, selon une perspective psychodynamique, le rapport qu’entretient l’immersion avec l’activité perceptivo-hallucinatoire. À partir de l’expérience d’animation d’un groupe thérapeutique à médiation jeu vidéo, l’immersion vidéoludique est d’abord envisagée en appui sur un cas clinique en lien avec les signifiants formels. Cette perspective conduit dans un deuxième temps à proposer des hypothèses sur les processus en jeu dans la construction du sentiment d’immersion et à dégager les enjeux subjectifs et les potentialités symbolisantes impliquées par ce type de dispositif. Ainsi, la pratique du jeu vidéo dans un cadre thérapeutique groupal constituerait une modalité de traitement privilégiée des processus perceptivo-hallucinatoires en participant de façon essentielle à un travail de mise en image perceptive des expériences subjectives non symbolisées.
Le dessin d’enfant en consultation familiale
Authors: Boudarse Khalid
Published: August 2020

L’article propose une conception clinique et théorique relative au maniement du dessin d’enfant en consultation familiale. Le cadre théorique est la psychanalyse familiale et groupale. À partir d’une vignette clinique, nous montrons comment le maniement de la production graphique spontanée en consultation familiale mobilise l’imaginaire groupal et les capacités d’élaboration familiale dans une situation où les espaces psychiques, individuel et familial, ont été effractés par la violence de l’abus sexuel intrafamilial. Nous dégageons quelques règles dans le maniement du dessin, telles que la manière de le présenter à la famille, l’associativité en groupe, la circularité des échanges, l’objet de l’interprétation et la vigilance par rapport aux risques d’empiétement sur l’espace psychique de l’enfant.
De l’idéal à la nécessaire désillusion : expérience d’un groupe de parole en addictologie
Authors: Dufayet Geoffrey , Riand Raphaël
Published: August 2020

Le développement des groupes de parole à l’hôpital, répondant à des impératifs tant cliniques qu’économiques, permet la mise à jour de fonctionnements groupaux enrichissant considérablement les prises en charge proposées. En addictologie, ces dispositifs révèlent et amplifient certains risques présents dans tout groupe. À partir de l’expérience d’un groupe de parole prenant place dans un service hospitalier d’addictologie, nous soulignons le danger du repli groupal sur l’idéalisation, entravant le travail psychique d’autonomisation. Sans le nécessaire travail sur le contre-transfert, la position idéologique entrave alors les mouvements psychiques porteurs de vie et générateurs de différence et de subjectivation.
High Pressure Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Separation from its Mixture with Nitrogen at Different Temperatures

Published: August 2020

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capturing from point sources is currently being proposed as a way to minimize CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is considered one of the greenhouse gases that affects our environment. Legislations are being enforced in many countries to limit CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Two methods are mostly used for CO2 capturing from flue gases and natural gases; the first method is absorption using amine-based solvents, while the second is membrane separation. The first method is effective for CO2 separation from gas mixtures with low CO2 concentration in the range of 10 to 20%, while the other can handle gas mixture with intermediate CO2 concentration but there is a limit on the CO2 purity. Hence, such methods cannot be used in pre-combustion and oxy fuel technologies where a more concentrated CO2 gas stream is produced. Throughout this work, a new method is introduced to separate carbon dioxide from its mixture with nitrogen (N2) at high concentrations, 90 mol.% CO2 and 10 mol.% N2 gas mixture. A customized high-pressure experimental set-up was built. Three temperature were tested: 15 °C, 25 °C and 38 °C at 150 bar. At such condition CO2 will be in the liquid and the supercritical phase respectively. The composition of the top and bottom streams where analyzed. The amount of CO2 in the top stream was the smallest at the supercritical condition. In addition, the purity of CO2 in the bottom stream was the highest at 38 °C and 150 bars, when CO2 is at the supercritical phase.

Published: August 2020

In this paper, an experimental work studies the principal operating parameters of a proposed desalination process using air humidification-dehumidification method. The major objective of this work is to determine the humid air behavior through the desalination system. Different operating conditions including the effect of the water temperature at the entry to the humidifier, the ratio of the mass of water to the air, the air/water flow rate, and cooling water at entry the dehumidifier on the desalination performance were studied. The results show that the freshwater increases with increasing the water temperature at the inlet of the humidifier, the ratio of the mass of water to air, and cooling water flow rate in the dehumidifier. Cooling water outlet temperature at the condenser increases with increasing the water temperature at humidifier inlet. Also, it decreases as increasing cooling water flow rate while the ratio of the mass of water to air achieves the highest productivity and gained output ratio (GOR). The achieved mass ratio (MR) is 4.5 and the mass flow rate of air is 0.8 kg/min.

Published: August 2020

Micro-porous hydrophilic membranes were successfully fabricated using polystyrene waste by phase inversion casting. Four concentrations (20, 25, 30, and 35 wt%) of recycled high-impact polystyrene (HIPS-R) in N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution were employed to prepare the membranes. The effect of polystyrene concentration on the characteristics of the different membranes was thoroughly studied. Based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results, the chemical composition of HIPS-R was analogous to that of pure high-impact polystyrene HIPS raw material of the previous studies. Also, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was employed to study the morphology and porosity of the prepared membranes. The membranes cross-section showed a sponge structure with longitudinal macro voids. The solid walls around these voids have a sponge-like structure, especially for high concentration polystyrene membranes. Furthermore, the number of pores into the membrane surface decreased with the increase of polystyrene concentration. The membranes surface pores size was ranged from 150 nm to 550 nm with the different used concentrations. Water contact angle (CA) of the prepared membrane's surface were measured. All the measured CA of the prepared membranes, except the 35 wt% showed CA of 91o, showed a hydrophilic behavior. Thus, the results suggest effective membranes could be obtained using recycled polystyrene. And then, solve the polymer waste accumulation problem in parallel with help in drinking water crisis solution.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel technique then characterized. Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) surfactant was added to reduce Van der Waal forces among MgO nanoparticles and distilled water forming a stable nanofluid using two-step method with aid of ultrasound sonication. Pure distilled water and nanofluids with different volume fractions of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1% are used as working fluids. Thermophysical properties of prepared nanofluids were measured experimentally and determined theoretically. Effect of solid volume fraction on the thermophysical properties; including thermal conductivity, heat capacity, viscosity, and density of MgO-water nanofluids are discussed. Moreover, experimental results have been compared with the suitable correlations for MgO-water nanofluid. The findings show that thermal conductivity, viscosity, and density of nanofluid increases with increasing solid volume fraction.

Published: August 2020

Methylene blue (MB) is one of the commonly used dyes in the textile industry and can be used as a model pollutant for the textile industry wastewater. In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of MB by synthesized nanoparticles of lanthanum vanadate (LaVO4) was assessed. The effects of pH, initial MB concentration and catalyst dose on the removal performance of MB were investigated and measuring the optimum values of these operational conditions was performed using response surface methodology (RSM). Catalyst dose of 0.43 g/L, initial MB concentration of 5.0 mg/L, and pH of 6.86 were found to be the optimum conditions in reaction time of 60 min. A mathematical model was formed to relate the removal efficiency of MB to the aforementioned operating parameters. The removal efficiency of MB was 91% without any scavengers at a catalyst dose of 0.3 g/L, pH of 7 and initial MB concentration of 10 mg/L. The trapping experiments confirmed the participation of different reactive species in the photo-degradation process. The degradation rates of MB were 91%, 86%, 81%, 77.70% and 72% in five successive runs using LaVO4.

Published: August 2020

This study aims at prospectively evaluating the difference in the effect of cholecystokinin (CCK) and half-and-half milk (HHM) administered in the same patient on gallbladder contractility and correlation with clinical outcomes. Upon gallbladder visualization during standard hepatobiliary imaging, 0.02 μg/kg of CCK was injected over 3 min, and additional 30 min of dynamic imaging was obtained. Patients with gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) <35% after CCK were administered 8 oz of HHM followed by 30 min of imaging. The GBEF was recalculated. The number of patients whom GBEF changed from below 35% (abnormal) after CCK to above 35% (normal) after HHM was recorded. Follow-up of the clinical outcome at 6 months was performed. Fifty patients with abnormal GBEF were prospectively included. The average GBEF after CCK was 14.7% ± 8.5% and after HHM was 30.7% ± 20.8%. The average increase in GBEF with HHM was 16.0% ± 22.2%. The GBEF changed from abnormal to normal in 17 patients (34%). The remaining 33 patients remained abnormal. Clinical outcomes at 6 months were available in 47 patients. Cholecystectomy was performed in 60% of patients with abnormal GBEF with CCK and HHM with resolution or improvement of pain. Two of 16 patients (12%) with abnormal GBEF after CCK but normal after HHM had cholecystectomies with pain improvement, while 8 out of these patients (50%) were diagnosed and treated with other disorders and improved. Hepatobiliary imaging with HHM stimulation is a superior physiologic test which can lower the number of unnecessary cholecystectomies and misdiagnoses as functional cholecystitis.
Recommended Practice for Improving Measurement Quality of Particle Number Counting Devices
Authors:   Emissions Standards Committee
Published: August 2020

The scope of this document focuses on the setup and use of solid particle number (SPN) counting devices in both engine development and certification environments. The document reviews best practices for collecting and measuring samples from both raw and diluted exhaust gas streams across several sample probe insertion locations relative to installed aftertreatment devices. Appropriate dilution techniques, sample transfer processes, and temperature management techniques are included. Finally, performance and validation checks are covered to ensure that long-term degradation and instrument failures can be identified quickly.

The particle size range targeted in this document is >23 nm, which aligns with the present EU SPN regulations and targets only solid particles. Current commonly available measurement devices are designed for counting efficiencies of 50% at 23 nm and 90% counting efficiencies at 40 nm so the contents of this document primarily address these particle sizes. It is expected that future regulations will target a lower 10 nm size cut-point. Consequently, a short section has been added discussing best practices that a user may need to consider when measuring particles in this size range.

Due to the short time constant of the spin-spin relaxation process, there is a limitation in the preparation of NMR sample solution for large proteins. To overcome this problem, reverse micelle systems are used.  Here, molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the structure of flavodoxin in a quaternary mixture of 1-decanoyl-rac-glycerol, lauryldimethylamine-N-oxide, pentane and hexanol.  Hexanol was used as co-solvent. Simulations were performed at three different co-solvent concentrations.  The proportion of components in the mixture was selected according to experimental conditions.  For comparison, simulation of flavodoxin in water was also performed.  The simulation results show that the C$\alpha$-RMSD for the protein in water is less than for the surfactant mixture.  Also, the radius of gyration of flavodoxin increased in the presence of surfactants.  The distance between the two residues trp-57 and phe-94, as a measure of protein activity, was obtained from the simulations.  The results showed that in the surfactant mixtures this distance increases.  Analysis of the secondary structure of the protein shows that the N-terminal part of the flavodoxin is more affected by surfactants.  The flavodoxin diffusion coefficient in the surfactant mixture decreased in relation to its diffusion coefficient in water.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the follow-up and outcomes of patients diagnosed with fetal hypoplastic left heart syndrome in the prenatal period.

Materials: Between January 2017 and June 2019 the data of 36 patients diagnosed with fetal hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Woman’s Health Care Training and Research Hospital (EZH) were evaluated retrospectively. All patients who suspected for any fetal or cardiac anomaly were evaluated in detail ultrasound by two senior perinatologists and a pediatric cardiologist fort a detailed cardiac evaluation. The demographic characteristics, pregnancy follow-up and maternal and fetal outcomes of patients were evaluated.

Results: During the study period fetal echocardiography was performed for 10.377 patients. A totally 382 (3.7%) fetuses were diagnosed with congenital heart diseases and 36 (9.4%) of these fetuses were diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Additional extracardiac anomalies were detected in 13 (36.1%) fetuses. Concomitant fetal cardiac anomalies were detected in 15 patients and ventricular septal defect (n: 11) and double outlet right ventricle (n:8) were the most common concomitant cardiac anomalies. Eight pregnancies with fetal HLHS were terminated. The data of 10 patient’s newborns were obtained and none of them lived up to a year.

 Conclusion: The study revealed that the majority of patients with fetal HLHS are in low-risk population thus the routine fetal cardiac evaluation is of great importance. The prognosis and outcome of the pregnancy diagnosed with fetal HLHS are poor. The option of termination of the pregnancy should be considered.
Beliefs and Perceptions about COVID-19 among Students of a Higher Institution in South-western Nigeria
Authors: Joseph AA , Joseph AO
Published: August 2020

The on-going coronavirus disease outbreak is arguably one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. Being a novel disease discovered in December 2019, little is known about it. This study examines the beliefs and perception on coronavirus disease among students of an institution of higher learning in Southwest Nigeria. Two hundred and sixty (260) students were selected through a two-staged non-probability sampling method for the study. Data was collected using structured questionnaire which tested the general knowledge of respondents on the subject as well as their beliefs and perception about the disease. Even though 90.0%) of the participants have heard of Coronavirus as a pathogen, their knowledge of the associated disease was fair on the average due to misconceived notions probably because information was sourced majorly from unconfirmed sources such as word of mouth from family members (56.5%), print media (56.2%), social media (51.2%), television (50.0%), and to a lesser extent from school (43.1%), health talk (42.7%), hospital (35.8%), over the radio (30.8%) as well as posters and billboards (24.2%). These misconceived notions, despite their level of education, include but not limited to claims that disease can be transmitted through mosquito bite (33,5%) and believing that it is a consequence of man's sin (48.1%). Some doubt its existence (28.8%) while a sizeable number believes they cannot be infected (44.2%) and peradventure if infected, prayer and fasting can cure it (44.2%). We therefore advocates for an intense public enlightenment campaign.

A name gives one identity, inspiration, strength, vision and an ability to see far into the future end from the beginning. Pathology disciplines therefore need correct and proper names that will carry along it all those attributes to enable them explore all her potentials unhindered in the 21st century practice of Medicine in the country. This study reviewed the functions of Medical Microbiologists and Haematologists in the midst of incessant inter-professional rivalry involving medical laboratory scientist in the country's teaching hospitals. Data was collected based on information from electronic, online and print media, and social media platforms. Questionnaires were administered to assess the knowledge of students of Adeyemi College of Education Ondo-City on the difference between Consultant Medical Microbiologists and Academic Microbiologists. We found out that in over 85% of the crisis in the medical laboratories in the country are from either Medical Microbiology and or Haematology laboratories; disciplines whose names have little to do with pathology, and that Anatomic Pathology and Chemical Pathology disciplines are usually only in solidarity with the two. Also other health personnel including scientists do not feel fully convinced that Consultants in the former two disciplines (Medical Microbiology and Haematology) are truly Pathologists. It was also found that 90% of members of the general public cannot differentiate between a Pathologist who specializes in Microbiology from an individual who graduated with BSc or MSc in Microbiology and so could hardly understand why such could not also practice as Consultant Microbiologist or Lecture in Clinical Pathology departments. At the University of Medical Sciences teaching Hospital Complex (UNIMED THC) where both the discipline and the Department are named Microbial Pathology, the tension has substantially been put under check. The two subspecialties should be properly named as: Microbial Pathology and Haematologic Pathology instead of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, and Haematology respectively along with their respective Departments.
Extrapulmonary Manifestations of COVID-19: A Call to Extra Vigilance and Tribute to Dr Li Wenliang

Published: August 2020

COVID-19 pandemic has covered all continents and virtually all countries of the world infecting millions of people with several hundred thousands of death. It was first brought to the attention of a Chinese ophthalmologist Dr Li Wenliang. The disease which was first believed to be solely associated with the lungs and respiratory system has now shown that the spectrum of organ involvement of the disease is much larger than earlier believed.  While lung and pulmonary features still account for a much larger presentation of the disease, other clinical manifestations such as  fulminant myocarditis, arteriovenous thromboembolism, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, intracerebral haemorrhage, diarrhea, hypoxic encephalopathy, septicaemia and detection of SARS-CoV-2 particles in stool, saliva and semen of infected individuals are also becoming less infrequent. Haematologic manifestations of hypercoagulable blood are commonly reported among hospitalized COVID‐19 patients.  An elevated  D‐Dimer, that is rising  in the course of disease may signifies disease deterioration. Prolonged PT and aPTT and increased fibrin degradation products with severe thrombocytopenia have been associated with life-threatening disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Physicians should therefore be on a watch out for these features in the management of patients and be ready to spot out other new surprises by the disease. This should be through deepening of curiosity by health personnel in the assessment and management of patients to spot out early surprises of COVID-19 to strengthen the sustenance of the ongoing control of the pandemic

Mortality and morbidity figures associated with tuberculosis are generally scary. Raw materials involved in the pottery making process contain crystalline silica which has been documented as risk factors to the development of tuberculosis. Unfortunately Nigeria pottery workers have no formal occupational health services. This study determined the knowledge of risk factors and preventive practices against pulmonary tuberculosis among pottery workers in Oye, Nigeria. A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out among 198 pottery workers selected using multistage sampling method. Research instrument consisted of a semi structured interviewer administered pretested questionnaire. Data was analyzed using the SPSS software version 23.0. Results shows that a one hundred and ninety four (98%) of the respondents have ever heard of pulmonary tuberculosis, 178(89.9%) of them don't know whether clay soil contained chemicals that could predispose them to tuberculosis. Only 64.1%, 56.6% and 59.1% had good mean general knowledge, good mean knowledge of prevention and good mean perception scores to tuberculosis respectively. Sixty three (31.8%) said that pottery workers are among those at risk of developing Tuberculosis (TB). Only 51 (25.8%) said they used protective equipment. Predictors of good general knowledge and good perception of TB include age above 24 years, being female, having post primary school education, having spent more than 5 years in pottery business and using protective devices (p<0.005). There is need for recognition and prioritization of all silica-exposed workers for screening and treatment services in anti-TB programmes of the Government.

KSENOPHON’UN KYROS’UN EĞİTİMİ ESERİNDE TANRI-KRAL PARADİGMASI
Authors: YALAZI Esra
Published: August 2020

Klasik Çağ Yunan yazarı Ksenophōn devlet yönetiminin esaslarına ilişin fikirlerini, “Kyros’un Eğitimi” (Κύρου Παιδεια) adlı eserinde tarihi gerçekliğinden bağımsız olarak kurguladığı Kyros karakteri üzerinden sunmuştur. “Kyros’un Eğitimi”, Platōn’un “Devlet Adamı” (Πολιτικός) adlı eserinin ışığında okunduğunda, Ksenophōn’un bu eserde yönetim bilgisi ve tanrısallığı Sokratik erdemle ilişkilendirerek ele aldığı görülmektedir. Ksenophōn’un böylece Sokratik gündemi olan yönetme erkinin ve tanrısallığın dayanağı olarak sunduğu erdem (aretē) kavramına canlı bir örnek (paradeigma) olarak Kyros’u kurguladığı anlaşılmaktadır. Buna göre Kyros’a biçilen tanrı-kral imgesi, farklı kent (polis) devletlerinin koruyucu tanrılarının üstünde bir siyasi oluşuma duyulan ihtiyacı vurgulamak için bir kral kültü olarak oluşturulmuştur. Bu yeni kült Büyük İskender’e ve Roma döneminin krallarına yönetimlerinin meşruiyetini sağlamak için de başvurulan bir bağlam oluşturmuştur. Rönesans sonrası ise yaşanan din savaşları yine dinin üzerinde bir siyasi oluşuma ihtiyaç göstermiş ve Ksenophōn’un tanrı-kralı bugünün devletine dönüşmüştür. Ancak “Kyros’un Eğitimi” eserinde Kyros portresi üzerinden yaratılan tanrı-kral imgesi, bu süreçte yönetim erkinin tasavvuru için bir paradigma olmayı sürdürmüştür.

Authors: Ibrahim Abdul Wahab
Published: August 2020

The study used statistical procedures based on Item Response Theory to detect Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in polytomous tests. These were with a view to improving the quality of test items construction. The sample consisted of an intact class of 513 Part 3 undergraduate students who registered for the course EDU 304: Tests and Measurement at Sule Lamido University during 2017/2018 Second Semester. A self-developed polytomous research instrument was used to collect data. Data collected were analysed using Generalized Mantel Haenszel, Simultaneous Item Bias Test, and Logistic Discriminant Function Analysis. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the proportions of test items that function differentially in the polytomous test when the different statistical methods are used.  Further, the three parametric and non-parametric methods complement each other in their ability to detect DIF in the polytomous test format as all of them have capacity to detect DIF but perform differently. The study concluded that there was a high degree of correspondence between the three procedures in their ability to detect DIF in polytomous tests. It was recommended that test experts and developers should consider using procedure based on Item Response Theory in DIF detection.
On the Theme of Immortality Through Literature in Shakespeare’s Sonnets
Authors: Peng Min
Published: August 2020

William Shakespeare’s 154 Sonnets contribute a great deal to art and literature. As a world-class master, he lives in the English Renaissance period, which is marked by a cultural flowering. Humanism is the essence of the Renaissance. It dramatically affects Shakespeare’s works. In the sonnets, he reinforces his affirmation of human wisdom and knowledge of creating magnificent literature, thus bringing about the immortality of youth and beauty, which is an acute reflection of his humanistic thought of the Renaissance. This paper takes the humanism of the Renaissance as its concept. Then, this paper concentrates on investigating the theme of immortality through literature in these sonnets, including Sonnet 15, 17, 18, 19, 55, 60, and 81. After interpreting the themes with concrete examples, this paper summarizes that Shakespeare’s yearning for immortality through literature derives from his humanistic spirit. Additionally, this paper is of higher significance for valuing the principle of putting people first at the core, while pursuing a comprehensive, balanced, and sustainable development in modern society.

Published: August 2020

Stimulants are one of the common ways to increase yield in rubber plants. Recent, the stimulant that is widely used in rubber tapping is ethephon. Ethephon material can prolong the flow of latex so that yield increases. The combination of osmolyte and alkaline compounds is expected to be an alternative stimulant. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the use of osmolytes and alkaline in rubber plants. This research was conducted at the Experimental Design of the Sungei Putih Estate Research, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra in May-September 2016 with PB 260 clones planting year 2010 with a tapping system S/2 D3 Ga1.0 6 / y (m) in panel B0-2. The experimental design used was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 28 combinations of treatments. The observation parameters in this study were yield (g/p/s), girth (cm) before treatment application and yield (g/p/s) and yield (kg/ha/year) after treatment application. The observations showed that the addition of stimulants with osmolyte and alkaline compounds had a significant effect yield on rubber (g/p/s) in the first tapping slices. The 5% osmolyte and 10% alkaline compounds have yield rubber which is comparable to the application of stimulants made from ethephon in the first tapping slices. Application of 5% osmolyte and 10% alkaline compounds can be used as an alternative stimulant in rubber plants.

Introdução: O brincar é fundamental para o desenvolvimento da criança. Brincando ela desenvolve os sentidos, adquire habilidades, amplia suas experiências e descobertas, e potencializa a criatividade, a inteligência e a sociabilidade. Na clínica de Terapia Ocupacional, o brincar é visto como um recurso terapêutico e uma ocupação fundamental na vida da criança, podendo ser avaliado a partir do referencial teórico do Modelo Lúdico. Objetivo: Analisar a evolução do comportamento lúdico e a percepção da família sobre o desenvolvimento de uma criança de 2 anos e 5 meses, com síndrome de Down, que foi acompanhada pela Terapia Ocupacional, em uma brinquedoteca terapêutica por 18 meses. Método: Estudo com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, realizado com o auxílio da Avaliação do Comportamento Lúdico, Entrevista Inicial com os Pais, Ficha de Avaliação do Serviço de Terapia Ocupacional e evoluções dos atendimentos. Resultados: Os dados mostraram evolução do interesse geral e lúdico, capacidade lúdica e atitude lúdica, mas com menor evolução na habilidade de expressão. Conclusão: Com base no referencial teórico do Modelo Lúdico, foi possível compreender o comportamento lúdico da criança estudada, planejar os atendimentos terapêuticos ocupacionais e avaliar seu desenvolvimento e as contribuições do trabalho realizado na brinquedoteca.
