Efficacy of Flipped Classroom Teaching on the Cognitive Domain in Second-Year Physiotherapy Students
Authors: Grover Pranjal , Phadke Shweta
Published: June 2021

Introduction:

Flipped learning is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside the classroom. It moves activities, including those that may have conventionally been considered homework, into the classroom. With the availability of resources but restrictions on time, flipped learning can replace or be an adjunct to conventional classroom teaching as per the need.

Objectives:

(1) Comparison of the MCQ test scores pre- and postflipped learning classroom. (2) Analyze the feedback of the students on flipped learning through structured questionnaire.

Materials and Methods:

This study included 36 second-year students from TMV's Lokmanya Medical College of Physiotherapy. After approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee, written consent was obtained from the participants. The study material was mailed to all the participants. Flipped classroom instructional strategy was employed with videos of “Gait-Kinetics and Kinematics” that were uploaded. Two classroom lectures were conducted for in-depth exploration and problem-solving done. Pre- and postMCQ test administered and feedback was taken.

Results:

A significant improvement was seen in the MCQ test score post two flipped learning sessions (P < 0.001). The feedback questionnaire analysis established that flipped classroom technique is an effective teaching method.

Conclusion:

Flipped classroom teaching is an effective teaching method in bringing about a change in the cognitive domain of second-year physiotherapy students.

Published: June 2021

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 disease (COVID-19) pandemic is not just about medical management in intensive care units (ICUs). The old population and those with severe comorbidities and chronic illnesses are more prone to die due to COVID-19 infection and integrating palliative care support in ICUs is the need of the hour. However, during this pandemic, there is a clear lack of palliative care in ICUs due to several barriers which we will discuss in this particular case.

Published: June 2021

A 37-year-old woman with well-controlled Graves' disease on carbimazole therapy presented with new-onset livedo reticularis (LR) on her legs which later regressed spontaneously. The history, examination, and investigations did not reveal any known cause for the lesion. Literature search has revealed only one report of LR in a patient of Graves' disease who had thyrotoxicosis and coexisting anticardiolipin antibodies. The patient in this report was euthyroid at the time of development of LR and did not have any antiphospholipid antibody. It is not clear whether this finding was incidental or there is a true association of LR with Graves' disease.

Published: June 2021

The periodic paralyses (PPs) are a group of rare neuromuscular disorders related to muscle ion channels, presenting with episodes of sudden muscle weakness. The majority of cases of PP are inherited, resulting from genetic mutations in the subunits of channel proteins of the sodium, potassium, or calcium channels or the SCL4A1 protein. We describe two siblings, a 15-year-old male and an 11-year-old male, presenting with complaints of weakness. Both patients had consumed a large carbohydrate-rich meal the previous night with a history of similar episodes of weakness suggesting a diagnosis of PP. Laboratory investigations were unremarkable except for hypokalemia in both patients, and they were started on potassium supplementation, which resulted in the resolution of symptoms. The elder sibling was started on acetazolamide for prophylaxis, but due to non-response, was put on spironolactone which he tolerated well. Genetic mutation analysis confirmed the diagnosis of familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (FHPP) with a p. Arg672His mutation in the sodium channel, gene SCN4A (17q23.3) in both siblings. The diagnosis of PP is important to consider in patients with sudden recurring episodes of weakness or paralysis, especially in otherwise healthy adolescents/young adults. The treatment of FHPP is challenging, with cautious potassium supplementation for acute attacks. Workup for other causes should be performed, and genetic analysis is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Published: June 2021

Patients with critical illness and high mortality risk are frequently admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Therefore, improving the quality of healthcare for these patients is essential. Improving overall health and following best practices for patient safety are important goals in the health-care sector; especially in critically ill patients. To achieve these goals, many researches have been conducted to develop procedures, protocols and improve ICU structure and design. To discuss the effectiveness of multidisciplinary team (MDT) implementation in ICUs in the Saudi Arabian hospitals and how would this approach significantly reduce ICU mortality rates and improves the quality of healthcare. This review search of electronic search engines was conducted, including ProQuest, Medline, and Google Scholar. The search was narrowed to a total of 21 articles between 2010 and 2020 articles were included, which were found to match the inclusion criteria. Findings indicated a positive effect of the MDT care on decreasing the ICU's mortality rates. The studies reviewed have documented the necessity of successful MDT care implementation for improved survival rates. A collaborative approach by the various health-care providers-nurses, physicians, intensivists, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists–enhances patient care, improves clinical outcomes, and reduces the mortality rate.
Determining Acid and Metalliferous Drainage Potential of Waste Rock on a Mine
Authors: Fosu S. , Owusu C. , Ntsiful F. , Ackah K.
Published: June 2021

Acid and Metalliferous Drainage (AMD) is recognised as serious environmental problem in the mining industry. This is because environmental issue of AMD poses serious threat to water quality, vegetation cover and social licence of the mining operations. AMD occurs when reactive sulphide bearing materials are exposed to oxidising conditions. It has now become imperative for some mining companies to test sulphide bearing minerals for their AMD potential before major mining excavations are done. This work determines the AMD potential of fifty (50) waste rock samples from a Mine using Acid Base Accounting (ABA) techniques. Mineralogical studies on the sample indicated that the major sulphide mineral assemblages present were pyrite, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. Paste pH showed that 20% of the samples had undergone weathering and as such AMD generation had already started. Approximately 22% of the sample had conductivity levels between 1000 to 10,000 µS/cm and this shows a typical AMD chemical characteristic of high salinity. Acid Base Accounting showed that 32% of the samples were acid generating. Exactly 16% were non-acid forming and 52% were uncertain. The analysis showed that the potential for AMD generation exists for the waste rock material and can affect the local environment, specifically water quality if preventive measures are not taken.

Task model simulators: a review
Authors: Lachaume Thomas , Guittet Laurent , Girard Patrick , Fousse Allan
Published: June 2021

La description de l’activité humain-système par des modèles de tâches existe depuis plusieurs années. Après l’époque papier-crayon, les outils d’édition des modèles de tâches ont permis la conception et l’archivage des modèles selon une notation rigoureuse, et la vérification de leur cohérence. Mais la compréhension de la dynamique est restée affaire de spécialiste jusqu’à l’apparition des simulateurs de modèles. Une simulation permet d’appréhender les enchaînements réels de tâches - décrits implicitement par les opérateurs temporels - et de valider les scénarios ainsi réalisés.
Cet article décrit et compare les simulateurs actuellement disponibles et maintenus, et explique leurs différents usages en fonction des buts et niveaux d’expertise des utilisateurs. De nouvelles perspectives d’évolutions de ces modèles et outils sont alors définies dans le but d’améliorer leur sémantique.

Task modelling has enabled the building of models of human activity for a long time. In the early years, pencil and paper where the only means available to build task models from task model notations. Because of the lack of computed constraints, task models often did not conform to the notation. To solve this problem, some tools were designed by authors in order to help users create, modify and save correct models that conform to the notation syntactic rules. However, understanding the full semantics of task models appeared difficult for practitioners. The dynamic aspects of task models could only be understood "in the user's head". New tools, named simulators, emerged to solve this problem. They allow to "run" or to "simulate" task models and to record scenarios. This execution fulfils the semantics of task model operators, which define the task dynamic semantics. Simulators can be used in many ways such as understanding model semantics, verifying or validating models, building valid scenarios, etc. In this article, we describe and compare currently available and maintained task model simulators, and explain the different usages of these tools, according to user goals and qualifications. Then, we explore the different challenges for these tools to exploit the complete semantics of task models.

Published: June 2021

In this article, we propose an architecture of a socio-affective Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA). The different computational models of the architecture enable an ECA to express emotions and social attitudes during an interaction with a user. Based on corpora of actors expressing emotions, models have been defined to compute the emotional facial expressions of an ECA and the characteristics of its corporal movements. A user-perceptive approach has been used to design models to define how an ECA should adapt its non-verbal behavior according to the social attitude the ECA wants to display and the behavior of its interlocutor. The emotions and the social attitudes to express are computed by cognitive models presented in this article.

Dans cet article, nous proposons une architecture d'un Agent Conversationnel Animé (ACA) socio-affectif. Les différents modèles computationnels sous-jacents à cette architecture, permettant de donner la capacité à un ACA d'exprimer des émotions et des attitudes sociales durant son interaction avec l'utilisateur, sont présentés. A partir de corpus d'individus exprimant des émotions, des modèles permettant de calculer l'expression faciale émotionnelle d'un ACA ainsi que les caractéristiques de ses mouvements du corps ont été définis. Fondés sur une approche centrée sur la perception de l'utilisateur, des modèles permettant de calculer comment un ACA doit adapter son comportement non-verbal suivant l'attitude sociale qu'il souhaite exprimer et suivant le comportement de son interlocuteur ont été construits. Le calcul des émotions et des attitudes sociales à exprimer est réalisé par des modèles cognitifs présentés dans cet article.

The objective of this article is to present a study that has been made about the use of the interactive persuasion criteria grid in order to identify persuasiveelements in the interfaces. Two groups have been created, “criteria” and “control”. Both should identify persuasive elements of two interfaces: social network (Facebook) and e-commerce (Cdiscount). During the second phase of the experiment, the “criteria” group had an access to the grid. 27 participants were recruited for this study. The results show that the participants have found more persuasive elements with the grid and that the identification performance was better for the e-commerce website. The average evaluation performance is significantly different (p = 0.000) on the two sites. On Facebook, participants' performance was 9.7% ("control" group) and 23.8% then ("test" group); and for Cdiscount respectively 21.7% ("control" group) and 43.6% ("test" group). The set of guidelines really allows to increase the identification of forms of persuasion in interfaces.

Authors: Motti Lilian , Nadine Vigouroux , Gorce Philippe
Published: June 2021

Some remarkable advances in mobile technologies have been made on the past fifteen years, especially the adoption of direct input on the screen. Since aging is now a worldwide demographic phenomenon, several studies have been carried on to investigate and improve the interaction between older-aged adults and these new technologies. These studies are important because mobile devices are often equipped with touchscreen and they can help to improve quality of life for older adults (health care, social life, serious games). Understanding interaction of this group of users with touchscreen can facilitate the adoption of interactive technologies and their future use by older populations. This literature review analyses thirty six studies that evaluated interaction techniques for older users using touchscreen devices. This review intends to 1) analyze the situation of thirty six studies (population, apparatus, tasks and interaction techniques) and 2) identify situations of use of touchscreen devices and interaction techniques that need to be further studied. As results, a descriptive analysis of the populations included, the chosen apparatus, executed tasks and interaction techniques are presented, so as a summary of relevant parameters to consider for studies of tactile interaction techniques. On each topic, we discuss about the results, the authors' recommendations and we provide cues for future work.

Des progrès considérables des technologies mobiles ont été constatés sur les quinze dernières années, notamment avec le développement des écrans tactiles. Depuis que le vieillissement est un phénomène démographique mondial, plusieurs études ont été menées pour étudier et améliorer l'interaction des personnes âgées avec ces nouvelles technologies. Ces études sont importantes car les dispositifs mobiles, souvent équipés d'un écran tactile,peuvent aider à améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes âgées (soins de santé, maintien du lien social, jeux sérieux). Comprendre l'interaction de ce groupe d'utilisateurs avec des écrans tactiles peut ainsi faciliter l'adoption des technologies interactives et leur future utilisation. Cette revue de la littérature analyse trente-six études qui ont évalué des techniques d'interaction pour des sujets âgés utilisant des dispositifs avec écran tactile. Cette revue vise 1) à analyser la situation de ces trente-six études (population, équipements, tâches et techniques d'interaction) et 2) à identifier les situations d'utilisation des écrans tactiles et des techniques d'interaction qui doivent encore être étudiées. Les résultats sont l'analyse descriptive des populations incluses, des dispositifs choisis, des tâches effectuées et des techniques d'interaction, ainsi qu'une synthèse des paramètres pertinents à prendre en compte pour des études sur les techniques d'interaction tactile. Sur chaque point, nous présentons une discussion sur les résultats, les recommandations des auteurs et des repères pour des travaux futurs.
Démarche centrée utilisateur pour la conception de SIAD basés sur un processus d'ECD, application dans le domaine de la santé
Authors: Ltifi Hela , Ben Ayed Mounir , Kolski Christophe , Alimi A.M.
Published: June 2021

This article concerns the design of Decision Support Systems (DSS) based on a Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) process. This process aims at generating a set of software modules; it is iterative and interactive For this reason, it is essential to us to take Human-Computer Interaction principles and models into account in the development of such systems. The interactive decisional system development is currently approached according to two antagonistic approaches. For the first approach, technology is fundamental; the second is "user-centered", placing the human actors in a central position. Although the first approach is still very present in companies, the current tendency "is user-centered ". In this context, we propose an approach which aims at integrating the stages of KDD process in a development model enriched under the human-computer interaction point of view, which is the U-model. Our application context is the fight against the nosocomial infections in the healthcare domain.

Nous nous intéressons dans cet article à la fouille visuelle de données temporelles, où les données ont été mises sous la forme de n attributs dont les valeurs sont enregistrées pendant k instants. Après un état de l'art sur les différentes approches de visualisation de telles séries, nous présentons plus particulièrement une approche ayant reçue encore peu d'attention ("DataTube"). DataTube place les données dans un tube dont l'axe représente le temps. Nous étendons ensuite cette approche : tout d'abord nous définissons plusieurs modes de visualisations (couleurs, formes, etc) et nous ajoutons un axe temporel. Ensuite nous introduisons des interactions avec la possibilité de sélectionner des attributs et des instants, afficher des données complexes ou encore insérer des annotations sur la visualisation. Nous ajoutons une étape de classification non supervisée afin de regrouper dans la visualisation les attributs similaires. Enfin nous intégrons cette visualisation dans notre plateforme de fouille de données en réalité virtuelle VRMiner, avec un affichage stéréoscopique et des possibilités de navigation interactive. Nous appliquons cette visualisation sur plusieurs ensembles de données réelles et nous montrons qu'elle peut gérer jusqu'à 1,5 million de valeurs. Nous présentons également une évaluation utilisateur.
Description of tasks with multi-user multimodal interactive systems: existing notations
Authors: Jourde Frédéric , Laurillau Yann , Nigay Laurence
Published: June 2021

Multi-user multimodal interactive systems involve multiple users who can use multiple interaction
modalities. Multi-user multimodal systems are becoming more prevalent, especially systems based on large
shared multi-touch surfaces or video game centers such as Wii or Xbox. In this article we address the
description of the tasks with such interactive systems. We review existing notations for the description of tasks
with a multi-user multimodal interactive system and focus particularly on tree-based notations. For elementary
tasks (e.g. actions), we also consider the notations that describe multimodal interaction. The contribution is
then a comparison of existing notations based on a set of organized concepts. While some concepts are general
to any notation, other concepts are specific to human-computer interaction, or to multi-user interaction and
finally to multimodal interaction.

De nombreux systèmes interactifs, professionnels ou grand public, permettent conjointement
l’interaction multiutilisateur et multimodale. Un système interactif est multimodal lorsqu’un utilisateur peut
interagir avec le système par l’usage de plusieurs modalités d’interaction (en entrée ou en sortie) de façon
parallèle ou non. Nous constatons que de plus en plus de systèmes multiutilisateurs ou collecticiels sont
multimodaux, comme ceux construits autour d’une surface interactive et les consoles de jeu de type Wii ou
Xbox. Nous traitons dans cet article de la description des tâches-utilisateur avec de tels systèmes interactifs
multiutilisateurs et multimodaux. Précisément, nous dressons un panorama des notations existantes permettant
la description des tâches mono ou multi-utilisateur avec une attention particulière pour les notations à base
d’arbre de tâches. Nous focalisons aussi sur les tâches élémentaires ou actions mono/multi-modales de
l’utilisateur en considérant les notations de description de l’interaction multimodale. Pour cela, nous
proposons une étude comparative d'un ensemble de notations de description selon une grille d’analyse
regroupant des concepts généraux à l’interaction et des concepts propres à l’interaction multiutilisateur et
multimodale.
Uncertainties in complex dynamic environments

Published: June 2021

The utilization of Decision Support Systems (DSS) in complex dynamic environments leads the human operator almost inevitably to having to face several types of uncertainties. Thus it is essential for system designers to clearly understand the different types of uncertainties that could exist in human-machine systems of complex environments, to know their impacts on the operator's trust in the systems and decision-making process, and to have guidelines on how to present uncertain information on user interfaces. It is also essential for them to have an overview of the different stages, levels, and types of system automation, and to know their possible impacts on the creation of different types of uncertainties. This paper investigates these topics and aim at helping researchers and practitioners to deal with uncertainties in complex environments.

The Ural Text of the Russian Literature
Authors: Larionova Marina Ch.
Published: June 2021

The article reviews contents, theoretical grounds, and significance for the contemporary philology of a large-scale work of Ural scholars – The History of Literature of the Ural Region (The 19th Century). In the 1920s, the idea of cultural nests – regional cultural centres, which have their own history and traditions, – was formulated in the works by N. K. Piksanov. The idea was followed and further developed by N. P. Antsiferov, who wrote about an attractive and magnetic power of locus, which organizes the cultural space around itself. That was the beginning of regional literature studies. V.N. Toporov and N. E. Mednis introduced the notions of the urban text, local text, and super-text of the Russian literature, which were accepted by the humanities geography (D.N. Zamyatin). Regional philological studies fitted into the frontier discourse smoothly: space and territory began to be perceived and considered as historical and socio-cultural factors. The reviewed book is the Ural text of the Russian literature incorporating literary and journalistic works about this poly-ethnic macro-region, written by authors biographically and territorially connected with the Large Ural Region; data on bibliography, book publishing and book trade, library management, the history of theatre, etc. The scale of research and the widest coverage of topics and data deserve the highest appraisal and make the work by the Ural colleagues exemplary.
Galicia as an Intertext: the Concept of the Frontier in the Novel “The End of Days” by Jenny Erpenbeck
Authors: Voloshchuk Ievgeniia V.
Published: June 2021

The article analyses the model of the cultural space underlying the image of Galicia in the novel The End of Days by Jenny Erpenbeck. The research is focused on the intertextual elements used to create this image, their functions and the range of their interactions with the concept of the frontier. The myth of Galicia, the works of Karl Emil Franzos, Joseph Roth, Johann Wolfgang Goethe as well as Old Testament stories and psalms are considered as the main sources of intertextuality. Based on the analysis it can be inferred that the novel uses the intertextual elements not only for the wide cultural contextualization of the image of Galicia but also for the subversion of both the myth of Galicia and the literary pretexts from which these elements are borrowed.

Authors: Chen Shang-Yuan , Chen Tzu-Tien
Published: June 2021

Since dockless sharing bicycles have become an indispensable means of everyday life for urban residents, how to effectively control the supply and demand balance of bikes has become an important issue. This study aims to apply Kernel Density Estimation based (KDE-based) clustering analysis and a threshold-based reverse flow incentive mechanism to encourage the users of bicycles to adjust the supply and demand actively. And it takes Shanghai Jing’an Temple and its surroundings as the research area. Its practical steps include: (1) compilation and processing of the needed data, (2) application of KDE-based clustering, partitioning, and grading, and (3) incentives calculation based on dockless shared bicycle flow control system. The study finds that the generalization function of KDE-based clustering can be used to estimate the density value at any point in the study area to support the calculation of the incentive mechanism for bicycle reverse flow.

Authors: Nura Diana Anita Intan , Fansuri Subaidillah , Fatoni Akhmad Feri
Published: June 2021

Decomposing plastics, including plastic bottles, is a very difficult process because it takes 50-100 years. Every year, the use of plastic bottles is increasing, but only few people are willing to treat plastic bottle waste. In this study, plastic bottle waste is used as a substitute of fine aggregate and shaped in such a way to have a sand-like gradation. The variations of graded plastic bottle waste are 0%, 5%, 10%, and 12%. The test objects for each variation consist of three specimens. Data are analyzed by using regression and classical assumption test with SPSS program. The results of the data analysis show that there is a simultaneous effect on the compressive strength with variations in plastic waste substitution. The compressive strength decreases with the increase in the percentage of plastic added. Maximum compressive strength is at the variations of 0% and 5% with19.192 MPa and 16.414 MPa, respectively.

Linearized Two-Dimensional Inverse Problem of Determining the Kernel of the Viscoelasticity Equation
Authors: Тотиева Ж.Д.
Published: June 2021

Представлена линеаризованная обратная задача определения двумерного ядра для системы уравнений линейной динамической вязкоупругости с сосредоточенным источником возмущений на свободной поверхности. Искомой величиной в поставленной задаче является ядро интегрального оператора, моделирующего явление памяти, которое имеет место при распространении волновых процессов в вязкоупругих средах. Прямая начально-краевая задача для вектор-функции смещения содержит нулевые начальные данные и граничное условие Неймана на дневной поверхности специального вида. Для линеаризации искомое ядро разлагается на две составляющие, одна из которых малая по абсолютной величине неизвестная добавка. В качестве дополнительной информации задается отклик линеаризованного поля смещений точек среды на свободной поверхности. В предположении, что коэффициенты системы зависят от одной пространственной переменной, прямая задача сводится к начально-краевой задаче для одного интегро-дифференциального уравнения гиперболического типа второго порядка. Доказывается, что поставленная линеаризованная задача определения сверточного ядра эквивалента некоторой системе линейных интегральных уравнений типа Вольтерра второго рода. К последней применяется обобщенный принцип сжатых отображений. Доказаны теоремы глобальной однозначной разрешимости в пространстве непрерывных функций и устойчивости решения обратной задачи.

Designing the Next Generation of Federal Tax Credits for Low-Carbon Technologies
Authors: Saha Devashree , Shrestha Rajat , Feldmann John
Published: June 2021

Achieving emissions reductions to reach economywide net-zero emissions by 2050 will require sustained technological innovations and widespread deployment of emerging low-carbon technologies that are not yet commercially deployed on a mass-market scale. Tax credits are an important policy tool for supporting the early-stage deployment of emerging technologies as well as more mature technologies that have not yet reached widespread deployment. While existing federal tax credits have played an important role in enabling the deployment of several low-carbon technologies, including wind, solar, and electric vehicles, they also suffer from critical design deficiencies that make them less effective. This paper proposes six considerations for designing the next generation of federal tax credits that can support deployment of clean energy and low-carbon technologies in the U.S. power, transportation, industrial, and buildings sectors. Within each consideration, the paper lays out different approaches and discusses the tradeoffs between each.

Published: June 2021

Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumour that originates from the ganglion cells of the sympathetic nervous system. They are rare in cervical spine region and only 8 % of ganglioneuromas occur in the neck. The common sites of occurrence are in the posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum and adrenal medulla, and as such, a cervical occurrence presenting with quadriplegia is a reportable event. We present a 26-year old young male with a two-year history of neck pain and progressive quadriplegia. He later became wheelchair-bound. Musculoskeletal examination revealed multiple generalized nodular skin swellings with café au lait macules. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a huge dumbbell tumour of the first two cervical vertebrae, to the right side of the spinal canal causing significant spinal cord compression. He had surgical intervention, aimed at complete tumour resection, postoperatively, power of the limbs improved to normal. Histological examination was consistent with ganglioneuroma. We present this report because the occurrence of ganglioneuroma is rare, secondly a cervical presentation is unusual and thirdly it presented as a rare cause of quadriplegia.

Authors: Dos Santos Aparecida Praeiro , Herrero Dafne
Published: June 2021

Introdução: O desenvolvimento neuromotor infantil constitui o resultado do aprendizado e das habilidades adquiridas na execução dos atos. Escalas de avaliação do desenvolvimento motor têm sido utilizadas, mundialmente, na tentativa de identificar através da movimentação espontânea das crianças se as mesmas apresentam sinais indicativos de alterações no desenvolvimento neuromotor. Objetivo: Avaliar a movimentação espontânea de lactentes moradores da comunidade de Paraisópolis atendidos em serviço de follow-up do Programa Einstein na Comunidade de Paraisópolis (PECP), em São Paulo. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, observacional e descritivo realizado em duas etapas: a) avaliação do lactente através da verificação do desempenho motor através da Escala Motora Infantil Alberta e b) aplicação de questionário feito aos cuidadores para investigação de informações perinatais, socioeconômicas, nutricionais e de ambientes de estimulação. Foram avaliados os lactentes com idade entre 4 e 6 meses, nascidos de parto único, com peso ao nascer de 2.500, a termo, idade gestacional entre 37 e 42 semanas, moradores da comunidade de Paraisópolis em serviço de follow-up do (PECP), em São Paulo, SP no primeiro semestre de 2015. Resultados e discussão: A população de lactentes em sua maioria foi composta por meninos nascidos termo, com peso de nascimento de 3.1 gramas, AIG, seus cuidadores principais são as próprias mães. Os bebês não apresentavam nenhuma doença à época da pesquisa, foram amamentados por um período superior à 120 dias e o local de permanência dos bebês quando acordados, na grande maioria, está em berço, banheira, carinhos, colo ou no sofá. As mães tem em média 23,7 anos de idade, com escolaridade cursada em torno de 8 anos de estudo, realizaram pré-natal, sem intercorrências significativas durante o pré-natal, gestação ou para os bebês. Conclusão: a maioria dos lactentes avaliados apresentou-se abaixo da média no que se refere ao desempenho motor nos permitindo considerar que a maioria deles permanece em locais que não possibilitam movimento (berço, banheira, carrinho, colo e sofá) concordando com a literatura que crianças que crescem em ambientes carentes de estímulos não apresentam facilidade para o aprendizado motor uma vez que não possuem estruturas operacionais aptas a equacionarem novos eventos e sequências.
