Neural mechanisms of visual associative processing
Authors: Eckhorn Reinhard , Gail Alexander , Bruns Andreas , Gabriel Andreas , Al-Shaikhli Basim , Saam Mirko
Published: December 2023

This is a review of our work on multiple microelectrode recordings from the visual cortex of monkeys and subdural recordings from humans - related to the potential underlying neural mechanisms. The former hypothesis of object representation by synchronization in visual cortex (or more generally: of flexible associative processing) has been supported by our recent experiments in monkeys. They demonstrated local synchrony among rhythmic or stochastic γ-activities (30-90 Hz) and perceptual modulation, according to the rules of figure-ground segregation. However, γ-synchrony in primary visual cortex is restricted to few millimeters, challenging the synchronization hypothesis for larger cortical object representations. We found that the spatial restriction is due to γ-waves, traveling in random directions across the object representations. It will be argued that phase continuity of these waves can support the coding of object continuity. Based on models with spiking neurons, potentially underlying neural mechanisms are proposed: (i) Fast inhibitory feedback loops can generate locally synchronized γ-activities; (ii) Hebbian learning of lateral and feed forward connections with distance-dependent delays can explain the stabilization of cortical retinotopy, the limited size of synchronization, the occurrence of γ-waves, and the larger receptive fields at successive levels; (iii) slow inhibitory feedback can support figure-ground segregation; (iv) temporal dispersion in far projections destroys coherence of fast signals but preserves slow amplitude modulations. In conclusion, it is proposed that the hypothesis of flexible associative processing by γ-synchronization, including coherent representations of visual objects, has to be extended to more general forms of signal coupling.
Lost in time: a historical frame, elementary processing units and the 3-second window
Authors: Pöppel Ernst
Published: December 2023

The main topics of time and timing in psychology, cognitive neuroscience and biology have been formulated already in the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, time and timing as a challenging topic has been put to rest for quite some time, but has become a central issue again during the last years. It has become clear, that perceptual or cognitive processes can only be understood if the dimension of time is taken more seriously. The reduction of complexity in neuronal systems is for instance, achieved by temporal integration mechanisms which are independent of the content of a percept or a cognitive act but are presemantical operations. It is essential to distinguish between content functions and logistical functions that provide presemantically defined temporal frames for mental activity.
Prospective and retrospective duration judgments: an executive-control perspective
Authors: Zakay Dan , Block Richard
Published: December 2023

Most theorists propose that when a person is aware that a duration judgment must be made (prospective paradigm), experienced duration depends on attention to temporal information, which competes with attention to nontemporal information. When a person is not aware that a duration judgment must be made until later (retrospective paradigm), remembered duration depends on incidental memory for temporal information. In the present article we describe two experiments in which durations involved with high-level, executive-control functions were judged either prospectively or retrospectively. In one experiment, the executive function involved resolving syntactic ambiguity in reading. In another experiment, it involved controlling the switching between tasks. In both experiments, there was a unique cost to the operation of control high-level, executive functions which was manifested by prospective reproductions shortening a finding that supports an attentional model of prospective timing. In addition, activation of executive functions produced contextual changes that were encoded in memory and resulted in longer retrospective reproductions, a finding that supports a contextual-change model of retrospective timing. Thus, different cognitive processes underlie prospective and retrospective timing. Recent findings obtained by some brain researchers also support these conclusions.
Individual differences in temporal information processing in humans
Authors: Szelag Elzbieta , Kanabus Magdalena , Kolodziejczyk Iwona , Kowalska Joanna , Szuchnik Joanna
Published: December 2023

This article reviews some of our investigations concerning individual differences in temporal information processing. Two different levels of temporal information processing are discussed, namely the low-frequency (i.e., a few seconds time range) and the high-frequency processing level (i.e., some tens of milliseconds range) of temporal information with respect to various experimental paradigms. Evidence has been obtained indicating that the processing of temporal information on these two levels can be influenced by various subject-related factors, out of which age, gender, developmental disorders, auditory experience and localisation of damage in the brain seem to be the most significant.
Expansion of the Golgi apparatus in rat cerebral cortex following intracerebroventricular injections

Published: December 2023

Streptozotocin (STZ) is a bacterial toxin which selectively damages both insulin-producing cells and insulin receptors. Injections of STZ into the cerebral ventricles of experimental animals are followed by sustained biochemical, metabolic and behavioral effects resembling those which are found in human brains afflicted by Alzheimer's disease. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of double intracerebroventricular application of STZ on the ultrastructure of rat frontoparietal cortical neurons. The most prominent change, seen 3 weeks after STZ injection, was a significant enlargement of the Golgi apparatus caused by expansion of the trans-Golgi segment of the cellular protein secretory pathway. Morphometric analysis revealed that the area of the trans part of the Golgi complex in neuronal cells was increased more than two-fold (median values: 312 × 103 nm3 in 14 neurons from control animals, and 846 × 103 nm3 in 19 neurons from STZ-treated animals, P=0.0012), whereas that of the cis part did not significantly change. The effects of STZ did not resemble Golgi atrophy and fragmentation described in neurons from disease-prone brain structures of patients with Alzheimer's disease, but were similar to that observed after intravenous application of a non-metabolizable glucose analog 2-deoxyglucose. Considering that proamyloidogenic processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein may occur preferentially in the trans-Golgi segment, the observed early response of neuronal ultrastructure to desensitization of insulin receptors may predispose cells to form beta-amyloid deposits.

Published: December 2023

We investigated cerebellar electrocortical activity before and after unilateral brain injury in anesthetized rats. Spectral analysis of cerebellar activity was obtained by Fast Fourier Transformation. There was a dominance of delta frequency range, while the wide gamma range presented no more than 5% of the total mean power spectra of cerebellar activity before brain injury. A few minutes after brain injury and within the first 90 minutes, there was a decrease of total mean power spectra and a relative decrease of delta range power to about 30%, some increase of beta range, and an increase of gamma range to 20-25%. Relative increase of gamma range in the cerebellar mean power spectra was still present 120 min after the brain injury, while other changes started to diminish. We suggest that spectral changes within slow and fast (gamma) frequency ranges of cerebellar activity may be indicators of the brain state after acute injury.

The expression and function of Sgt1 protein in eukaryotic cells
Authors: Spiechowicz Magdalena , Filipek Anna
Published: December 2023

The Sgt1 protein was discovered in yeast but later it was found in other eucaryotic organisms, including plants and mammals. It was suggested that the Sgt1 protein plays a role in the CBF3 kinetochore and the SCF ubiquitin ligase complexes. Since the distribution, properties and functions of the mammalian Sgt1 have not been extensively studied, we examined the expression of Sgt1 protein in the rat tissues and here we report the preliminary results. Using northern and western blots we found that the Sgt1 protein is expressed in various tissues and that brain, skeletal muscles and spleen contain high levels of this protein and its mRNA. Then, by western blot, we checked the localization of Sgt1 in some areas of the rat brain such as cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus and we found that cerebellum and cortex contain highest amounts of this protein. Using immunohistochemistry we found that the Sgt1 protein is present in both neurons and glial cells.
Serotoninergic impairment and aggressive behavior in Alzheimers diseaseplanar lipid bilayer

Published: December 2023

The overall goal of all therapeutic interventions in Alzheimers disease (AD) is to: (a) optimize the impaired functions and (b) restore an affordable quality of life for both the patient and his surroundings. AD has been characterized by a significant serotoninergic impairment. It is well known that impaired serotoninergic function is related to aggressive behavior. We, herein, review the past and recent evidence that seems to link the serotoninergic system with aggressive manifestations in AD patients. Managing the aggressive behavior of these patients might be of significant medical, social and economical importance. However, there is still a long way to go until we verify the exact pathophysiological mechanism(s) involved in the induction of aggression in AD patients. The current data underlines a complex relationship between the observed serotoninergic impairment in AD patients and the (a) cholinergic system, (b) the endocrine (hormonal) state, (c) the nutritional habits, (d) the genetic background and (e) the caregiving environment.

St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) counteracts deleterious effects of the chronic restraint stress on recall in rats
Authors: Trofimiuk Emil , Walesiuk Anna , Braszko And
Published: December 2023

This study aimed at verifying a hypothesis that St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) alleviates stress-induced memory impairments. Administration of Hypericum perforatum (350 mg kg-1 daily for 21 days) significantly enhanced recall of passive avoidance behavior (PAB), but had no effect on the acquisition of conditioned avoidance responses (CARs). Rats stressed chronically (2 h daily for 21 days) displayed diminished recall of the PAB and this effect was abolished by St John's wort. Chronic administration of the "equivalent" to the stress dose of exogenous corticosterone (5 mg kg-1 daily for 21 days) also impaired recall of PAB, and this effect was also reversed by Hypericum perforatum. None of our treatments produced significant motor coordination impairments as tested in a "chimney" test. It appears that H. perforatum prevents stress-induced deterioration of memory in rats.

Topography and axonal collaterals of trigeminocerebellar projection to the paramedian lobule and uvula in the rabbit cerebellum
Authors: Bukowska D. , Mierzejewska-Krzyzowska B. , Zguczynski And
Published: December 2023

To study projections of the trigeminal sensory nuclei (TSN) to the rostral parts of the paramedian lobule (PML) and of the uvula of the rabbit cerebellar cortex, the retrograde double fluorescent labeling method was used. Injections of Fast Blue (FB) into PML and Diamidino Yellow (DY) into the uvula, resulted in prominent labeling neurons with FB bilaterally and with DY ipsilaterally, in the principal trigeminal nucleus, subnucleus oralis, and rostral and caudal subnucleus interpolaris. We observed topographical arrangement of neurons in such a fashion that FB labeled cells were localized in the medial and DY labeled cells in the lateral regions of TSN. Apart from this small number of double FB+DY labeled neurons (n=138) were found in the narrow common region of single labeling. This implies that PML and the uvula receive independent trigeminal sensory information from neurons in separate regions of TSN. However, some trigeminal neurons may also exert simultaneous influences upon these hemispheral and vermal components by way of axonal branchings. The correspondence should be addressed to D.

Response to novelty of various types in laboratory rats
Authors: Pisula Wojciech , Stryjek Rafal , Nalecz-Tolak And
Published: December 2023

One purpose of the two studies reported here was to examine the reactions of rats to changes in the spatial arrangement of a familiarized environment under low stress conditions. The second purpose was to test the role of rats' experience with novelty. In Experiment I the novelty was manipulated by introducing new tunnels into one zone of the experimental chamber. The introduction of novelty took place after 11 habituation sessions. In Experiment II in the course of habituation sessions the experimental group of rats was subjected to a persistent change of tunnel arrangement in the experimental zone, whereas for the control group nothing changed. All animals reacted to the novelty with increased time spent in the experimental zone and decreased time spent in other zones. Both experiments show that under low stress conditions rats demonstrate a positive response toward novelty and that their previous experience with novelty does not affect that reaction.
Human cord blood CD34+ cells and behavioral recovery following focal cerebral ischemia in rats
Authors: Nystedt Johanna , Mäkinen Susanna , Laine Jarmo , Jolkkonen And
Published: December 2023

The present study investigated effects of human umbilical cord blood derived CD34+ cells on sensorimotor, cognitive, and histological outcome in rats following focal cerebral ischemia. Halothane anesthetized adult male Wistar rats were subjected to transient or permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) followed by intravenous administration of CD34+ cells (5 × 105 or 2 × 106) after 24 h recovery. The beam-walking and cylinder tests were used to assess sensorimotor function, and Morris water-maze examined cognitive performance during a 25 day follow-up period. Subsequently, rats were perfused for measurement of infarct volumes and detection of CD34+ cells in the brain by immunohistochemistry (MAB1281). MCAO rats showed minor or no spontaneous recovery in sensorimotor function during the follow-up. The recovery profile was similar in MCAO controls and in MCAO rats that received CD34+ cells, although CD34+ cells seemed to improve the use of impaired forelimb. There was also a trend toward improved water-maze performance by CD34+ cells in transient MCAO rats. Infarct volumes assessed from Nissl-stained sections on postoperative day 25 did not differ between the experimental groups. MAB1281-positive cells were not detected in the brain of MCAO rats that received CD34+ cells. The present study suggests that CD34+ cells might improve functional outcome in MCAO rats after systemic administration, but do not significantly provide neuroprotection.

Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs): The three musketeers of glutamatergic system
Authors: Liguz-Lecznar Monika , Skangiel-Kramska Jolanta
Published: December 2023

Glutamate is the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) and glutamatergic transmission is critical for controlling neuronal activity. Glutamate is stored in synaptic vesicles and released upon stimulation. The homeostasis of glutamatergic system is maintained by a set of transporters present in plasma membrane and in the membrane of synaptic vesicles. The family of vesicular glutamate transporters in mammals is comprised of three highly homologous proteins: VGLUT1-3. The expression of particular VGLUTs is largely complementary with limited overlap and so far they are most specific markers for neurons that use glutamate as neurotransmitter. VGLUTs are regulated developmentally and determine functionally distinct populations of glutamatergic neurons. Controlling the activity of these proteins could potentially modulate the efficiency of excitatory neurotransmission. This review summarizes the recent knowledge concerning molecular and functional characteristic of vesicular glutamate transporters, their development, contribution to synaptic plasticity and their involvement in pathology of the nervous system.

Authors: Lima Ericleya Mota Marinho , Santos Paulo Roberto Brasil , Rocha Renan Luís Queiroz , Braga Tony Marcos Porto
Published: December 2023

Na Amazônia, a pesca é uma das atividades produtivas mais tradicionais e representa uma importante fonte de alimento das populações locais. No Baixo Amazonas, a espécie Pterygoplichthys pardalis popularmente conhecida como acari é uma das principais espécies comerciais. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a relação peso-comprimento e o fator de condição do acari das áreas de várzeas do Baixo Amazonas. Para a obtenção dos dados foram realizadas amostragens de espécimes em três comunidades entre o período de setembro de 2018 a abril de 2019. Um total de 1.006 exemplares foram amostrados. O comprimento médio e peso médio dos indivíduos analisados corresponderam a 32,92 ± 5,01 cm e 366 ±174,21 g, respectivamente. Foram obtidas as equações Wt= 0,0153.Lt2,875 e Wt= 0,0139.Lt2,875 da relação peso-comprimento para fêmeas e machos, respectivamente. A espécie apresenta crescimento do tipo alométrico negativo. A variação anual do fator de condição sugere que o acúmulo de gordura/energia ocorre no período de enchente/cheia e o oposto no período de seca, momento que coincide com a intensa atividade reprodutiva do acari. Estas estimativas podem ser úteis para o manejo dos estoques de acari, provendo subsídios para tomada de decisão que visem a conservação e a utilização racional deste recurso pesqueiro.
A subversão do olhar masculino no curta Purl (2019), de Kristen Lester
Authors: Placido Carlos Eduardo de Araujo
Published: December 2023

Purl (2019) é o título do curta metragem da diretora e escritora americana Kristen Lester e faz parte do programa SparkShorts da Pixar. A obra acompanha a história de uma bola de lã rosa que consegue vaga em uma empresa dominada inteiramente por homens. Por ser desvalorizada e ignorada no trabalho, ela passa a fazer de tudo para se adequar. Purl (2019) explora de forma sagaz e divertida, o fenômeno da opressão patriarcal e permite o expectador refletir sobre o fenômeno Queen Bee (STAINES, 1973) em que mulheres se ajustam à cultura masculina, oprimindo e se distanciando de outras mulheres para conquistarem um sucesso individual. O curta mostra uma perspectiva feminina sobre o ambiente de trabalho e combate o Male gaze (MULVEY, 1989), se afastando de suas características (SMELIK, 2016) ao utilizar o novelo de lã para fazer uma associação ao feminino. O presente trabalho propõe reflexões sobre a ainda muito presente opressão contra identidades femininas, sobre como o cinema reflete o male gaze contra as mulheres, e sobre como é possível subverter esse olhar dominante. As análises são tidas pela narrativa cinematográfica que através de ângulos, shots e iluminação reforça a ideia da protagonista se sentir oprimida naquele ambiente. O trabalho se mostra relevante ao passo que expõe discussões importantes sobre a luta contra a opressão patriarcal, demonstrando que a crítica feita na obra questiona as normas de gênero de forma a mitigar a alienação dos consumidores convencionais de curtas.
Reflexões sobre ergonomia e design emocional: relações contemporâneas para o desenho de novos produtos
Authors: Silveira Carina Santos , Mariño Suzi Maria
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo são apontadas diferentes perspectivas de abordagem para a compreensão da relação emocional dos sujeitos com os objetos, sejam elas Darwiniana ou evolucionista onde as emoções moldaram-se de forma adaptativa desde os primórdios da existência humana; Jamesiana onde as emoções que vinculam-se a respostas corporais (fisiológicas); sócio-construtivista onde as emoções são respostas às construções sociais; ou cognitivas em que a resposta emocional é dada pela avaliação do indivíduo. Sob tais perspectiva busca-se um lastro de reflexão sobre o novo olhar para o desenho, no que tange ao desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Contextualiza-se aqui que as emoções são intrínsecas à relação homem-tarefa-máquina.
Geopolítica e o poder em pauta: “fronteiras e territórios” - da gênese aos conflitos contemporâneos
Authors: Da Fonseca Valter Machado
Published: December 2023

Este ensaio visa realizar uma problematização acerca dos conceitos de Territórios e Fronteiras. Indaga sobre os tempos pretéritos apontando as origens primárias das organizações sociais dos homens coletores de frutas, de raízes e caçadores, nômades e sua relação com o espaço geográfico. O texto discorre sobre a evolução das técnicas e de que maneira elas impactaram na organização do território e na construção das fronteiras. O texto utiliza uma metodologia qualitativa embasada numa investigação analítica e exploratória com vistas à investigação da evolução da configuração do espaço em função da evolução das tecnologias. Diante disso, ele argui acerca das relações dos territórios e fronteiras com as novas configurações socioespaciais derivadas das novas mobilidades do capital volátil e especulativo, formando os blocos econômicos de poder e impactando as fronteiras e territórios. Conclui-se, nesta medida, que os conflitos territoriais dão nova dinâmica à circulação de mercadorias e, ao mesmo tempo, tornam as fronteiras obstáculos mais seletivos à migração de pessoas e mais abertos à circulação de mercadorias, impactando, dessa forma, toda a circulação da cadeia de bens oriundos da cadeia produtiva capitalista, propiciando novas formas de criação de mais-valia e da reprodução expandida do capital.

Published: December 2023

An effective epidemiological surveillance system is essential to help control rabies, as it allows the early detection of unexpected increases in the disease as well as the identification of geographic areas with populations that need greater attention from the Official Veterinary Services (OVS). The present study aimed to comprehend the behavior of rabies outbreaks in herbivores, through a temporal analysis using a control diagram based on moving averages, and a spatial diffusion mapping. A spatial clustering analysis in rabies outbreaks was performed using both nearest neighbor analysis and ST-DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise). Additionally, associated risk factors and the effectiveness of rabies vaccination was assessed using a chi-square (χ²) test and odds ratios as the association measure. The study detected rabies outbreaks in state of Tocantins in certain years, especially in 2015. Spatial analysis revealed clustering (nearest neighbor index = 0.555; p < 0.05) in intermediate regions of Araguaína e Palmas. Risk factors identified included shelter linked to relief, vegetation, and anthropic factors. The findings of this study have significant implications for the control of rabies in herbivores, providing valuable information to guide vaccination efforts and the control of hematophagous bats, thus aiding in disease prevention and control actions not only Tocantins state but also in other geographic regions grappling with paralytic rabies.

Establishment of Healthy Living Characters and The Inheritance of Local Wisdom Values in Miduana Indigenous Communities
Authors: Perbawasari Susie , Rahmat Agus , Bakti Iriana , Subekti Priyo
Published: December 2023

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to explore the local wisdom, specifically the tetekon (rules), practiced by the Miduana indigenous people in their housing, livelihoods, and daily lifestyles. It also seeks to understand the process through which these values of local wisdom are passed down from the customary council to the younger generation in Indonesia.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is rooted in the understanding that indigenous communities like the Miduana people have unique traditional practices that govern their way of life. The concept of tetekon plays a central role in this community, influencing various aspects of their lives, from house construction to livelihood practices and overall life patterns. This framework considers the importance of inherited values within indigenous cultures and the role of the customary council and the community in preserving these traditions.
 
Method: A descriptive method with qualitative characteristic data was employed for this research. Data collection involved observing daily life phenomena and conducting interviews with members of the customary council, local formal leaders, and indigenous peoples. Additionally, the study involved reviewing various library materials relevant to the phenomenon under study.
 
Results: The findings reveal that the Miduana indigenous people actively implement tetekon in multiple aspects of their lives. Elders play a crucial role in exemplifying the preservation of local wisdom, evident in maintaining traditional house shapes, applying tetekon in rice cultivation, promoting positive thinking, and consuming healthy foods from nature. Furthermore, the transmission of local wisdom values occurs at both the family level, through interactional communication and dialogues between parents and children, and at the community level, via public communication in traditional rituals.
 
Conclusion: This study concludes that the Miduana indigenous people's adherence to tetekon is a significant aspect of their cultural identity. The process of transmitting these values from older to younger generations is intricate, involving both familial and communal interactions. The persistent practice of these traditions among the younger generation highlights the dynamic nature of cultural transmission and the importance of indigenous wisdom in contemporary society.

Authors: Guimarães Renata de Melo Pithon , Araújo Iago Fraga
Published: December 2023

A palavra matemática foi criada no século VI a.C., por seguidores de Pitágoras, a partir do termo grego mathema, que significa tema do conhecimento; fazendo jus à etimologia, e mesmo antes de receber esse nome, a matemática transformou o conhecimento. Uma compreensão básica de matemática é fundamental em vários aspectos da vida. No controle do Diabetes mellitus tipo 1, doença caracterizada pela incapacidade do pâncreas em secretar insulina, é de extrema importância ter esse entendimento básico em matemática; seja para calcular adequadamente as refeições, ajustar dose das insulinas, correlacionar a ingesta de carboidratos com a quantidade administrada de insulina, evitando as complicações secundárias de uma doença sem controle. O analfabetismo em saúde é um entrave para o monitoramento adequado dessa patologia grave, que tem permitido o aparecimento de complicações micro e macrovasculares incapacitantes em seus portadores.

A ciriguela é uma fruta tropical considerada exótica produzida em vários lugares do Brasil e do mundo. Durante seu desenvolvimento e maturação, diversas características sensoriais e físico-químicas são modificadas, o que influencia na aceitabilidade pelo consumidor e indústria. A determinação das características dos frutos nos diferentes estágios de maturação interfere no desenvolvimento de novos produtos derivados da mesma. Objetivou-se com o presente estudo a análise e comparação física e físico-química de frutos de ciriguela em diferentes estágios de maturação utilizando a metodologia do Instituto Adolfo Lutz (2008) e pelo Manual de Métodos de Análises de Bebidas e Vinagres (BRASIL, 1986). A pesquisa tratou-se de um estudo transversal, de natureza aplicada, com abordagem quantitativa e explicativa utilizando procedimentos de estudo experimental. Os resultados obtidos e analisados constataram que com o avanço da maturação da ciriguela, ocorrem mudanças de comprimento, diâmetro e peso, estes que aumentaram, bem como, há aumento dos teores de vitamina C, pH, sólidos solúveis, ratio e umidade e ocorre diminuição dos valores dos ácidos orgânicos.

Sabemos que para a prática esportiva, crianças e adolescentes precisam estar motivados e conscientes da sua importância. Dessa maneira, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma análise descritiva desses motivos. A amostra conteve 65 estudantes de escola pública e privada, com idade entre 10 e 17 anos. O instrumento utilizado foi o Inventário de Motivação para a Prática Desportiva Gaya e Cardoso (1998), composto por dezenove perguntas objetivas subdivididas em três categorias: competência desportiva, saúde, amizade/lazer. Os resultados indicaram que a competência desportiva em aprender novas técnicas e esportes tiveram maior resultado, seguido da saúde, o que mostra a consciência corporal e a busca por qualidade de vida dos participantes, e por último, mas não muito longe, amizade/lazer pelo ambiente que o esporte traz com sua prática como um veículo socializador, porém competitivo como todo esporte, mesmo sendo uma escolinha de inclusão social. A idade em que se encontram os participantes influi diretamente nos comportamentos e tomada de decisões perante algum problema, mas cabe aos treinadores desenvolver um ambiente livre de pressões podendo contribuir para o desenvolvimento de novas potencialidades.
