Understanding Germany’s Short-lived “Culture of Welcome”
Authors: Conrad Maximilian , Aðalsteinsdóttir Hugrún
Published: December 2017

The German government’s response to the refugee crisis in the late
summer and autumn of 2015 has puzzled observers. Despite initially positive
reactions to Angela Merkel’s policy, her position has weakened domestically,
contributing to the sudden rise of the Alternative for Germany, but also alienated
a number of Germany’s European partners. While the German government’s
approach may be difficult to explain from a purely rationalist
perspective, this article highlights the role of ideational factors, in particular
Germany’s self-understanding as an international actor and a sense of moral
obligation drawn from the continued relevance of Germany’s twentieth-century
history. We demonstrate that the long shadow of the crimes committed
under National Socialism played a key role in shaping German public discourse
on the refugee crisis—underlined by a frame analysis of the images of
refugees in three leading German daily newspapers between August 2015 and
March 2016. Although the inflow of refugees was also framed as a challenge
and a potential security risk, the material emphasizes Germany’s moral obligation
to provide shelter to those fleeing from war and persecution.
Imagining European Diversity in an Age of Migration
Authors: Sieg Katrin
Published: December 2017

How has European visual culture supported the welcoming of
refugees in Europe? This article examines the tropes of romance and family
in performances at the Eurovision Song Contest and in recent European
films, to ask how they encourage or limit the inclusion of asylum seekers and
undocumented immigrants in the European polity. Demonstrating the long
history of these tropes in colonial fantasies that imagine community on
unequal gendered and racialized terms, the article asks whether queer notions
of kinship and egalitarian concepts of cosmopolitanism are able to rework this
colonial legacy.

Published: December 2017

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance and reach of YouTube videos on physical examinations made by Spanish university students. We analyzed performance metrics for 4 videos on physical examinations in Spanish that were created by medical students at Miguel Hernández University (Elche, Spain) and are available on YouTube, on the following topics: the head and neck (7:30), the cardiovascular system (7:38), the respiratory system (13:54), and the abdomen (11:10). We used the Analytics application offered by the YouTube platform to analyze the reach of the videos from the upload date (February 17, 2015) to July 28, 2017 (2 years, 5 months, and 11 days). The total number of views, length of watch-time, and the mean view duration for the 4 videos were, respectively: 164,403 views (mean, 41,101 views; range, 12,389 to 94,573 views), 425,888 minutes (mean, 106,472 minutes; range, 37,889 to 172,840 minutes), and 2:56 minutes (range, 1:49 to 4:03 minutes). Mexico was the most frequent playback location, followed by Spain, Colombia, and Venezuela. Uruguay, Ecuador, Mexico, and Puerto Rico had the most views per 100,000 population. Spanish-language tutorials are an alternative tool for teaching physical examination skills to students whose first language is not English. The videos were especially popular in Uruguay, Ecuador, and Mexico.

We present high spatial resolution (FWHM ∼ 0.″14) observations of the CO(8–7) line in GDS-14876, a compact star-forming galaxy at z = 2.3 with a total stellar mass of log(M
⋆/M
⊙) = 10.9. The spatially resolved velocity map of the inner r ≲ 1 kpc reveals a continuous velocity gradient consistent with the kinematics of a rotating disk with v
rot(r = 1 kpc) = 163 ± 5 km s−1 and v
rot/σ ∼ 2.5. The gas-to-stellar ratios estimated from CO(8–7) and the dust continuum emission span a broad range,

, if the smallest CO-based gas fraction is assumed. Despite a low, overall gas fraction, the small physical extent of the dense, star-forming gas probed by CO(8–7), ∼3× smaller than the stellar size, implies a strong relative concentration that increases the gas fraction up to

in the central 1 kpc. Such a gas-rich center, coupled with a high star formation rate (SFR) ∼ 500 M

The recent discovery by Pan-STARRS1 of 1I/2017 U1 (‘Oumuamua), on an unbound and hyperbolic orbit, offers a rare opportunity to explore the planetary formation processes of other stars and the effect of the interstellar environment on a planetesimal surface. 1I/‘Oumuamua’s close encounter with the inner solar system in 2017 October was a unique chance to make observations matching those used to characterize the small-body populations of our own solar system. We present near-simultaneous g′, r′, and J photometry and colors of 1I/‘Oumuamua from the 8.1 m Frederick C. Gillett Gemini-North Telescope and gri photometry from the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope. Our g′r′J observations are directly comparable to those from the high-precision Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS), which offer unique diagnostic information for distinguishing between outer solar system surfaces. The J-band data also provide the highest signal-to-noise measurements made of 1I/‘Oumuamua in the near-infrared. Substantial, correlated near-infrared and optical variability is present, with the same trend in both near-infrared and optical. Our observations are consistent with 1I/‘Oumuamua rotating with a double-peaked period of 8.10 ± 0.42 hr and being a highly elongated body with an axial ratio of at least 5.3:1, implying that it has significant internal cohesion. The color of the first interstellar planetesimal is at the neutral end of the range of solar system g − r and r − J solar-reflectance colors: it is like that of some dynamically excited objects in the Kuiper Belt and the less-red Jupiter Trojans.
The role of enabling actors in ecosystem service accounting
Authors: La Notte Alessandra , Marques Alexandra
Published: December 2017

When accounting for ecosystem services, it is important to distinguish between the flow of services and the flow of benefits (which can be part of economic accounts or not) generated by those services. To disentangle services and benefits, particular attention has to be paid in allocating each category of flows in the use table to those institutional sectors that generate the need for the services and have the power to modify them - the enabling actors - and to final beneficiaries. The general concept of use, without specifying whether services or benefits are referred to, could in fact lead to misinterpretations. This paper discusses the issue of the allocation of ecosystem services and the role of enabling actors through a practical example of water purification accounts in the Netherlands. In particular, the role of the agricultural sector as an enabling actor is disentangled from the cleaned water as benefit and from water supply companies as beneficiaries. The proper allocation of the flow of the service can in fact facilitate the establishment of a causal relationship between the actions of economic actors and ecological consequences and vice versa.
Fish habitat associations along a longitudinal gradient in a preserved coastal Atlantic stream, Brazil
Authors: Lazzarini Wolff Luciano , Segatti Hahn Norma
Published: December 2017

Habitat conditions at multiple scales are one of the major factors structuring ichthyofauna. Thus, we analyzed the fish habitat associations along the headwater-mouth gradient of a coastal Atlantic stream. We categorized the sampling sites into habitat units, so that in the middle reach these categories were statistically differentiated into riffles, runs and pools. Samplings were carried out quarterly from May 2009 to February 2010 using electrofishing. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated an environmental gradient from higher water velocity and rocky bottom to deeper and sandy areas in the headwater-mouth direction. A total of 1,495 individuals belonging to 27 species were captured, being 13, 18 and 22 from headwater, middle and mouth reaches, respectively. Shannon diversity was slightly higher in the middle reach, while beta diversity showed higher rates of addition than turnover in species along the longitudinal gradient. Fish structure, evaluated by DCA (detrended correspondence analysis) scores, showed significant differences between upper reaches and mouth reach, but the middle riffles did not differ from headwater habitats. In the middle reach, mesohabitat analysis distinguished riffles, with higher abundance of fast-water crenuchids, from pools, with a higher abundance of lentic-water characids. These results suggest that environmental differences along the stream determine the wider structural patterns. However, the middle reach amassed species from upper areas and lowlands in structured fish mesohabitat associations, possibly implying distinct local ecological interactions. These findings contribute to the assessment of stream conservation status and to recognize eventual direct impacts on fish structures along longitudinal gradients.
Cartographies des champs d’interaction dans et autour de Bruxelles : navettes, déménagements et appels téléphoniques
Authors: Adam Arnaud , Delvenne Jean-Charles , Thomas Isabelle
Published: December 2017

A l’aide de données relationnelles conventionnelles (migrations résidentielles, navettes de travail) et moins conventionnelles (appels de téléphonie mobile), l’espace dans et autour de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale est partitionné en groupes de lieux fortement inter-reliés à l’aide d’une méthode mathématique de détection de communautés. Les partitions obtenues conduisent à des structures spatiales fortes alors que ni la distance ni les caractéristiques des lieux ne sont prises en compte par la méthode. Cet article illustre comme les grandes bases de données (big data) et leurs méthodes spécialement dédiées offrent de nouvelles opportunités pour les analyses urbaines (délimitation des bordures urbaines, formalisation des structures intra-urbaines) et donnent ici l’occasion de rappeler qu’aucune structure ne peut s’interpréter sans la maîtrise des données, des outils utilisés mais aussi des théories régionales et urbaines.
Cartografie van de interactiegebieden in en rond Brussel: pendelverkeer, verhuizingen en telefoongesprekken

Published: December 2017

Aan de hand van conventionele (woonmigraties en woon-werkverplaatsingen) en minder conventionele (mobiele telefoongesprekken) relationele gegevens wordt de ruimte in en rond het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest opgedeeld in groepen van plaatsen, die nauw met elkaar verbonden zijn, op basis van een wiskundige methode voor de detectie van gemeenschappen. De verkregen indelingen (partities) leiden tot sterke ruimtelijke structuren, hoewel de methode geen rekening houdt met de afstand en de karakteristieken van de plaatsen. Dit artikel licht toe dat de grote databanken (big data) en hun speciaal daarvoor bestemde methodes nieuwe mogelijkheden voor stadsanalyses (afbakening van de stadsranden en formalisering van de intrastedelijke structuren) aanreiken en een kans bieden om eraan te herinneren dat geen enkele structuur geïnterpreteerd kan worden zonder de gegevens, gebruikte instrumenten maar ook de regionale en stedelijke theorieën te kennen.

Uma abordagem gramsciana da práxis dos jesuítas como intelectuais no Brasil colonial
Authors: Pereira Fábio Inácio , Mesquida Peri
Published: December 2017

O presente trabalho pretende refletir sobre a ação do intelectual jesuíta, na perspectiva de Manuel da Nobrega, à luz do conceito de ‘intelectuais’ de Antonio Gramsci. Parte-se do pressuposto de que os padres jesuítas, como intelectuais orgânicos, foram determinantes para a concretização da hegemonia colonizadora portuguesa. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foram utilizados: os Cadernos do cárcere de Antonio Gramsci, para discutir o conceito de intelectuais e a sua função orgânica nos grupos hegemônicos; e as Cartas do Brasil de Manuel da Nobrega, que expressou o compromisso do intelectual educador jesuíta com a política educacional da Coroa portuguesa no Brasil. Os textos foram interpretados criticamente e com foco na compreensão do papel que os jesuítas exerceram na formação de quadros a serviço da manutenção da hegemonia. A catequese e a formação indígenas, assim como a de quadros entre os filhos dos colonos, atenderam relativamente aos interesses de formação dos setores fundamentais da hegemonia colonial. Nos colégios, os filhos dos colonos compunham os setores dominantes da sociedade colonial, pois se formavam como intelectuais que ocupariam funções de quadros especializados da Companhia e, também, na administração em favor dos próprios interesses da Coroa para manter a cultura portuguesa.

ATP Evokes Ca2+ Responses and CXCL5 Secretion via P2X4 Receptor Activation in Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages
Authors: Layhadi Janice A. , Turner Jeremy , Crossman David , Fountain Samuel J.
Published: December 2017

Leukocytes sense extracellular ATP, a danger-associated molecular pattern, released during cellular stress and death, via activation of cell surface P2X and P2Y receptors. Here, we investigate P2 receptor expression in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages and receptors that mediate ATP-evoked intracellular [Ca2+]i signals and cytokine production in response to ATP concentrations that exclude P2X7 receptor activation. Expression of P2X1, P2X4, P2X5, P2X7, P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, and P2Y13 was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. ATP elicited intracellular Ca2+ responses in a concentration-dependent fashion (EC50 = 11.4 ± 2.9 μM, n = 3). P2Y11 and P2Y13 activations mediated the amplitude of [Ca2+]i response, whereas P2X4 activation, but not P2X1 or P2X7, determined the duration of Ca2+ response during a sustained phase. ATP mediated gene induction of CXCL5, a proinflammatory chemokine. P2X4 antagonism (PSB-12062 or BX430) inhibited ATP-mediated induction of CXCL5 gene expression and secretion of CXCL5 by primary macrophage. Inhibition of CXCL5 secretion by P2X4 antagonists was lost in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Reciprocally, positive allosteric modulation of P2X4 (ivermectin) augmented ATP-mediated CXCL5 secretion. P2X7, P2Y11, or P2Y13 receptor did not contribute to CXCL5 secretion. Together, the data reveals a role for P2X4 in determining the duration of ATP-evoked Ca2+ responses and CXCL5 secretion in human primary macrophage.
Cutting Edge: Allograft Rejection Is Associated with Weak T Cell Responses to Many Different Graft Leukocyte-Derived Peptides

Published: December 2017

Organ transplants are rapidly rejected because T cells in the recipient attack the foreign MHC molecules on the graft. The robustness of the T cell response to histoincompatible tissue is not understood. We found that mice have many small T cell populations with Ag receptors specific for a foreign MHC class II molecule type loaded with peptides from leukocytes from the graft. These T cells proliferated modestly after skin transplantation and underwent relatively weak functional differentiation compared with T cells stimulated by a vaccine. Thus, the potency of the T cell response to histoincompatible tissue is likely due to many small T cell populations responding weakly to hundreds of MHC-bound peptides from graft-derived leukocytes.
A Beginner’s Guide to Analyzing and Visualizing Mass Cytometry Data

Published: December 2017

Mass cytometry has revolutionized the study of cellular and phenotypic diversity, significantly expanding the number of phenotypic and functional characteristics that can be measured at the single-cell level. This high-dimensional analysis platform has necessitated the development of new data analysis approaches. Many of these algorithms circumvent traditional approaches used in flow cytometric analysis, fundamentally changing the way these data are analyzed and interpreted. For the beginner, however, the large number of algorithms that have been developed, as well as the lack of consensus on best practices for analyzing these data, raise multiple questions: Which algorithm is the best for analyzing a dataset? How do different algorithms compare? How can one move beyond data visualization to gain new biological insights? In this article, we describe our experiences as recent adopters of mass cytometry. By analyzing a single dataset using five cytometry by time-of-flight analysis platforms (viSNE, SPADE, X-shift, PhenoGraph, and Citrus), we identify important considerations and challenges that users should be aware of when using these different methods and common and unique insights that can be revealed by these different methods. By providing annotated workflow and figures, these analyses present a practical guide for investigators analyzing high-dimensional datasets. In total, these analyses emphasize the benefits of integrating multiple cytometry by time-of-flight analysis algorithms to gain complementary insights into these high-dimensional datasets.
Changes in quality of life and functional capacity after lung transplantation: A single-center experience

Published: December 2017

Lung transplantation (LT) increases the life expectancy of patients affected by end stage pulmonary disease; specifically, its ultimate aims are to improve survival and health related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of the present longitudinal study was to determine the HRQoL trajectory and changes in functional capacity from time of entry in the waiting list for LT to 2 year after LT. The study included sixty-nine outpatients enrolled in a single medical center when they entered the waiting list for LT and who subsequently received it. They were then followed up over 2 years after LT. HRQoL was assessed by the physical and mental component summary (PCS and MCS) scores of the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Saint Georgeâ€™s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Psychological distress was evaluated with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and functional capacity was investigated using the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1). Patients showed low SF-36 PCS (30.5Â±7.8) and SGRQ total (61.8Â±17.5) scores at entry in the waiting list, but exhibited significant changes over time after LT (p<0.001). Furthermore, patients who showed an increase of at least 50% in SF36 PCS and SGRQ scores at 6 months survived longer. Both FEV1 and 6MWT distance as well as GHQ scores significantly changed over time, with improvements occurring in the first 6 months after LT but no major changes thereafter. Out of the 69 patients enrolled, 32 died over a median follow-up of 51 months. Although mortality tended to be slightly higher for patients with lower HRQoL at the baseline assessment, this difference was not statistically significant. HRQoL evaluations appear critical in the follow-up of LT candidates, in particularly SGRQ, because of its specificity in targeting respiratory symptoms and functional wellbeing.

Validation of the Professional Identity and Values Scale Among an Athletic Trainer Population
Authors: Eason Christianne M. , Mazerolle Stephanie M. , Denegar Craig R. , Burton Laura , McGarry Jennifer
Published: December 2017

Context: 

Forming a professional identity is a process by which an individual achieves an awareness of his or her own self-concept in the context of the profession. Identity in relation to an individual's profession includes the ability to articulate one's role as a professional and professional philosophy. Professional identity has been studied extensively in other fields, but currently no professional identity scales have been validated within the athletic training profession.

Objective: 

To validate the Professional Identity and Values Scale (PIVS) among an athletic trainer population.

Design: 

Cross-sectional study.

Setting: 

Web-based questionnaire.

Patients or Other Participants: 

Athletic trainers employed in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I, II, III, or National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics colleges or universities (n = 299, 56.5% female, 43.5% male). The average age of the participants was 33.6 ± 8.3 years, and they had 10.3 ± 7.6 years of experience.

Main Outcome Measure(s): 

Participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and the 32-item PIVS. The variables included demographics and the PIVS (Professional Orientation and Values subscale [18 items] and the Professional Development subscale [14 items]).

Results: 

Exploratory factor analysis reduced the survey from 32 to 20 items and revealed 6 factors. Three factors emerged from the Professional Development subscale and emphasized professional insecurities during the early career stages, the importance of mentors during the intermediate stages, and self-confidence and awareness during the later stages of professional development. An additional 3 factors emerged from the Professional Orientation and Values subscale: (1) patient care and advocacy, (2) professional engagement and collaboration, and (3) personal wellness and values. A Cronbach α of 0.80 indicated good internal consistency.

Conclusions: 

A modified PIVS is a valid and reliable measure of professional identity among athletic trainers employed in the collegiate setting.
The Functional Movement Screen as a Predictor of Injury in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Athletes
Authors: Dorrel Bryan , Long Terry , Shaffer Scott , Myer Gregory D.
Published: December 2017

Context: 

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool used to assess the quality of human movement. Previous FMS researchers reported a difference between the comprehensive and individual FMS test scores of injured and uninjured participants.

Objective: 

To evaluate the accuracy of the FMS for predicting injury in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II athletes and to evaluate how an injury definition may affect the prognostic values.

Design: 

Cross-sectional study.

Setting: 

University preparticipation examinations.

Patients or Other Participants: 

A total of 257 collegiate athletes (men = 176, women = 81) between the ages of 18 and 24 years.

Main Outcome Measure(s): 

The athletes were prospectively screened with the FMS and monitored for subsequent injury. The ability of the FMS to accurately predict musculoskeletal injuries, overall injuries, and severe injuries was determined.

Results: 

The receiver operating characteristic curve provided the FMS cut score of ≤15 for the study sample. The areas under the curve were 0.53, 0.56, and 0.53 for musculoskeletal injury, overall injury, and severe injury, respectively. Sensitivity was 0.63 (0.62, 0.61, 0.65), whereas specificity was below 0.50 (0.49, 0.49, 0.45) for all 3 injury definitions of musculoskeletal injury, overall injury, and severe injury, respectively. Relative risk was 1.25 for musculoskeletal injuries, 1.24 for overall injuries, and 1.45 for severe injuries.

Conclusions: 

The overall prognostic accuracy of the FMS offered a slightly better than 50/50 chance of correctly classifying those most at risk for injury. As such, the FMS did not provide discriminatory prediction of musculoskeletal injury, overall injury, or severe injury in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II athletes. Using the identified optimal cut score produced inadequate validity, regardless of the injury definition. We recommend using the FMS to assess movement quality rather than as a standalone injury-prediction tool until additional research suggests otherwise. Clinicians screening for injury risk should consider multiple risk factors identified in the literature.

Ações de promoção, proteção e recuperação da saúde integral voltadas à sexualidade na adolescência são preconizadas por diversas Políticas Públicas, no entanto, para o avanço de ações neste campo, desafios e limites têm sido investigados. Nesta pesquisa objetivou-se identificar, sob a ótica de profissionais inseridos em serviços públicos de Saúde e Educação, os avanços e desafios implicados nas Políticas Públicas vinculadas à adolescência e à Educação Sexual. Tratou-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, no qual 20 profissionais do serviço público de Saúde e Educação de um município de grande porte do interior de São Paulo foram entrevistados. Os resultados de ambos os setores revelaram a percepção de que as Políticas Públicas vinculadas à Educação Sexual e à adolescência trazem contribuições para as práticas, embora apresentem fragilidades. Como contribuições, destacaram-se: os subsídios e o respaldo legais para a execução das práticas. Dentre as fragilidades reveladas têm-se as propostas descontextualizadas, falta de suporte prático e desconhecimento dos profissionais sobre as políticas. As informações apreendidas contribuem para a identificação de potencialidades e lacunas que podem ser utilizadas como ferramentas para a avaliação e elaboração das políticas. Nesta direção, somam-se elementos para a implementação do que está previsto pelas políticas públicas na realidade das práticas de Educação Sexual.
Leitura de literatura em meio digital: a mediação pelo corpo
Authors: Assis Emanoel Pires de
Published: December 2017

O artigo trata da possibilidade de se analisar e compreender a leitura de literatura em meio digital a partir de um viés que tem a fenomenologia da leitura literária como base de reflexão. Situando o corpo, nosso veículo de ser e estar no mundo e meio pelo qual realizamos e vivenciamos nossas experiências, como espaço de mediação entre texto e leitor. Para a construção do nosso entendimento de leitura, lançamos mão de postulados teóricos que têm Merleau-Ponty, Roman Ingarden, Wolfgang Iser e Jean-Paul Sartre como linha condutora. Concluímos afirmando que é preciso que a leitura de literatura em meio digital torne-se um hábito para o leitor, no sentido proposto por Merleau-Ponty, ou seja, que é preciso incorporar novas estratégias de leitura que, em alguns casos, são solicitadas pela nova configuração do texto literário.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p1 Although it is a widely used resource for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, immobilization causes deleterious effects in muscle tissue after a short period of time. This study aimed to evaluate the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles of obese and protein malnourished animals under joint immobilization condition. Overall, 28 adult male mice were used (C57 / BL6), being divided into four groups (N = 7): Control Group (CG), Immobilized Control Group (ICG), Immobilized Obese Group (IOG) and Immobilized Malnourished Group (IMG). The immobilization protocol was performed by the use of adhesive tape and plaster. The conditions and obesity and protein malnutrition have been developed through the ingestion of diets specific for each group of animals. The histomorphometric analysis of muscles evaluated area and the diameter of muscle fibers. All immobilized groups showed reduction in the area and diameter of muscle fibers when compared to GC. Comparisons among immobilized groups showed that the area and diameter of muscle fibers of IOG and IMG were lower than ICG. The immobilization protocol caused reduction in muscle trophism in animals, and obese and malnourished animals suffered high losses under condition of muscle atrophy.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p11 The elderly population has grown substantially, and the decline in physical capacities and increase in the body fat percentage are important characteristics of aging. Genetic factors may explain these declines and studies related to this issue are justified because they predict what physical capacities present larger declines in different individuals and enable the adoption of strategies to slow them. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ACE I / D and ACTN3 R / X genetic polymorphisms on body fat, muscle strength and power levels, aerobic capacity, flexibility and agility in older women. Sixty-six older women were genotyped with respect to ACTN3 and ACE polymorphisms for the division of groups and submitted to anthropometric measurements, physical tests in the AAHPERD and RIKLI and JONES test batteries and IPAQ to determine the level of physical activity and the Food Consumption Marker Form. Older women with XX genotype in relation to ACTN3 genotype had lower levels of flexibility of upper and lower limbs and lower cardiorespiratory fitness. Moreover, in relation to the ACE genotype, ID individuals exhibited higher cardiorespiratory fitness and lower body fat percentages. In relation to the other variables, there was no statistical difference among groups. It was concluded that the genetic variants under study play a role in some of the physical capacities and body composition in elderly women. In the future, data of this nature will enable each individual to have specific health interventions directed to the variables showing higher genetic potential for decline.

The present study aimed to analyze variations occurred in the 2006-2011 period in LTPA and associated factors among high school boys and girls in the state of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. A cross-sectional schoolbased and statewide survey was conducted in 2006 (n = 4,207) and 2011 (n = 6,264), and samples of adolescents (14-19 years) were compared. Data were collected through a questionnaire. The practice of LTPA was obtained by the question “Do you perform regularly, some kind of physical activity in your free time?” Poisson regression was used (confidence interval (CI) 95%) in crude and adjusted analyses stratified by gender. From 2006 to 2011, there was stability in the proportion of adolescents practicing LTPA both among boys (77.5% versus 78.9%) and girls (51.2%, versus 54.0%). The weekly frequency of physical education classes was directly associated with LTPA both in girls and boys, regardless of the survey year. Age, marital status, grade and computer use were significantly associated with LTPA, but there were distinctions between genders and surveys. In conclusion, there was a temporal variation between 2006 and 2011, but the reduction or increment in LTPA practice varied according to stratification of subgroups of adolescents. In general, physical education class was a factor that remained associated with LTPA in the investigated period.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p20 The aim of the study was to compare BMD among physically independent elderly women with different physical-functional profiles and vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms, as well as to analyze the effect of the interaction between these last two aspects on BMD. Overall, 165 elderly women had BMD assessed by bone densitometry. Handgrip and lower limb strength and functional exercise capacity (6MWT) were also assessed. VDR polymorphisms (TaqI, BsmI, ApaI and FokI) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction. For analyses, elderly women were categorized according to their performance on physical-functional tests into low performance (LP; <25th percentile), normal performance (NP; 25th percentile ≤ NP ≤ 75thpercentile) and high performance (HP;> 75th percentile). Regarding functional exercise capacity, LP group showed lower BMD compared to HP and NP groups (p=0,003). With respect to handgrip strength, there was a trend for LP group to have lower bone mineral density compared to NP group (p=0.08). No differences were observed in femur and lumbar BMD in comparisons among the different VDR genotypes (0.07≤p≤0.94); among different groups regarding lower limb strength (p=0.49) and in the interaction analysis among variables (0.17≤p≤0.77). It was concluded that physically independent elderly women with low functional exercise capacity have lower bone mineral density than those classified as normal and high performance. However, apparently, there is no effect of the interaction between VDR gene polymorphisms and physical and functional factors on BMD.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p32 The aim of this study was to propose the normative table for the non active postmenopausal Brazilian population composed of women aged 50-69 years through the AAHPERD functional fitness test battery. This is a cross-sectional study with 170 postmenopausal women (FSH dose> 26.72 mIU / L). The population was divided into two groups: 50-59 years (n = 97) and 60-69 years (n = 73). The inclusion criteria were not having participated of systematic motor intervention in the six months prior to the study period; not presenting motor or cognitive impairments that could impair the performance of evaluation protocols and absence of comorbidities that could prevent or limit evaluations. The group aged 50-59 years showed mean values of 55.6 ± 2.9 years for age, 54.0 ± 21.1 mIU / ml for FSH, 11.3 ± 1.8 seconds for coordination 20.2 ± 4.0 repetitions for strength, 51.9 ± 11.8 cm for flexibility, 23.0 ± 2.4 seconds for speed and 497 ± 39 seconds for aerobic resistance. The group aged 60-69 years showed mean values of 64.2 ± 2.8 years of age, 54.9 ± 16.1 mIU / ml for FSH, 11.5 ± 2.5 seconds for coordination, 20.2 ± 4.3 repetitions for strength, 54.4 ± 10.9 cm for flexibility, 24.5 ± 4.0 seconds for speed and 507 ± 47 seconds for aerobic resistance. The proposal of a normative table was made possible with the data analyzed, which is a new reference regarding functional fitness studies especially in physically inactive postmenopausal women.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p41 Plyometric training in the aquatic environment has been used as way of reducing loads through the action of buoyancy. However, little is known about the biomechanical characteristics of plyometric exercises in water, which can assist in the prescription of training in this environment. This study aimed to analyze the vertical component of the ground reaction force and contact duration of drop jumps (DJ) performed on land and at hip level water immersion. Participants were 22 male athletes (19.1 ± 3.7 years), who performed three maximum DJs in water and on dry land. Peak force and duration of braking and propulsion sub-phases of the DJ contact were analyzed with the use of two underwater force platforms, a 2-D waterproofed electrogoniometer, acquisition systems ADS2000-IP and TeleMyo 2400TG2, and a signal synchronizer. The effect of immersion was investigated through comparison tests for dependent samples (p <0.05). In water, the following results were observed: (a) reduction of 41.8% (p <0.001, d = 2.24) and 23.8% (p <0.001, d = 1.50) of peak forces during braking and propulsion sub-phases respectively; and (b) increase of 41.8% in the braking (p <0.001, d = 1.41) and 12.3% in the propulsion contact times (p = 0.006, d = 0.75). The aquatic environment can be an alternative when one aims to reduce the load during the DJ contact; however, the longer duration increasing of contact sub-phases in water at hip immersion may compromise the proper functioning of the stretch-shortening cycle in water.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p50 The aim of this study was to verify and to analyze adaptations on physical and physiological variables of futsal athletes during the pre-competitive and competitive phases of a training macrocycle. The sample was composed of nine Under-18 futsal athletes who performed the following tests: vertical jump, 10 and 30-meter linear sprint, repeated sprint ability test, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 and VO2máx. Based on the qualitative analysis of the change magnitude, it was possible to verify adaptations from training for the vertical jump test (certainly positive), 10-meter linear sprint (likely decrease), 30-meter linear sprint (irrelevant), repeated sprint ability test for best sprint (irrelevant), mean of sprints (likely decrease), fatigue index (likely decrease), YYIRI (likely increase), VO2máx (likely decrease) and speed of VO2máx (likely increase). Thus, it was possible to verify that training-induced adaptations were positive since athletes improved their performance for the most control tests for each physical capacities of futsal (vertical jumps, 10-meter linear sprint, and repeated agility sprint test for the mean of sprints and fatigue index and aerobic resistance. Therefore, data have shown that athletes improved their physical performance considering the characteristics of futsal during training throughout a macrocycle.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p62 The aim of this study was to compare the collective tactical behavior between numerically balanced and unbalanced small-sided soccer games. Eighteen male soccer players (mean age 16.4 years) participated in the study. Polar coordinate analysis was performed using positional data obtained with a 15-Hz GPS device. Collective variables including length, width, centroid distance (average point between teammates), and length per width ratio (LPWratio) were collected. Data were analyzed using Friedman’s test. The results showed greater length and width values in 4vs.3 games, while a higher LPWratiowas observed in 3vs.3+2 games compared to the other configurations. In games with an additional player (4vs.3), ball circulation and the increase in effective game space were alternatives to overcome the more concentrated defensive systems near the goal. On the other hand, 3vs.3+2 games allowed more actions in the length axis and a fast reach of the opponent’s goal.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n1p72 In soccer, an attack begins with ball recovery. Therefore, the consistency of this performance indicator during a match and its balanced distribution in the field zones can be one of the distinct characteristics of successful soccer teams. This study aims to investigate the performance consistency of ball recovery during a match within several time periods (6 periods of 15 min) and zones (four zones). To this end, observational methodology and software Focus X2 were adopted to evaluate 28 matches of semi-final teams at FIFA 2014 including Germany, Argentina, Netherlands, and Brazil in terms of ball recovery frequency. In total, 3222 performances were recorded. All teams in each match and in whole competition had homogeneity of distribution of ball recovery during the time periods (χ23=1.597, p=0.66). The results of time-zone evaluation indicated that Netherlands and Brazil teams did not have performance consistency on all field zones (χ2 15=31.29, p=0.008 and χ2 15=37.53, p=0.001, respectively). Most ball recoveries were made in the defensive and middle-defensive zones in accordance with modern soccer. It was found that for a soccer team to be successful, it requires a space distribution of experienced players in the field, which leads to power balance for redesigning a team to be offensive in all zones.
