Cardiovascular System
Authors: Can Gulbeyaz
Published: October 2024

A cardiovascular examination is a systematic and thorough examination designed to assess the structure and function of the heart, blood vessels, and related components. A thorough examination of the heart, blood vessels and related components provides valuable information about the function of a patient’s cardiovascular system. Physicians, nurses and other health care professionals use this exam to gather valuable information about a patient’s cardiovascular health, identify existing or potential problems and make informed decisions about treatment and care. Knowing how to properly assess the cardiovascular system and iden tify both normal and abnormal fi ndings can help nurses provide high-quality, safe care to patients.

Understanding the fundamentals of a cardiovascular exam and its role in patient care can better equip nurses with the knowledge and skills they need to improve cardiovascular health outcomes and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease on a global scale. In addition, patients can also gain valuable insights into their heart health that will enable them to take proactive steps toward prevention and wellness.
Gastrointestinal System
Authors: Kilicaslan Kimya , Tulek Zeliha
Published: October 2024

The gastrointestinal tract is a canal that starts from the mouth and extends to the anus and contains many organs. The gastrointestinal system is responsible for digestion and absorption in the body. Cells in the body need energy and certain nutrients to maintain their functions. The gastrointestinal system is the system in which food is broken down into nutrients and then absorbed to meet the body’s energy needs. The function of this system is to remove waste from the body at the end of the digestive process. It also plays a role in maintaining the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance. The gastrointestinal tract has a four-layered structure. Although it may have structural differences depending on the functions of the organs, from the inside to the outside, this channel consists of mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa. The physical examination of the gastrointestinal system consists of five main steps: taking the patient’s history, inspection, palpation, auscultation, and percussion. In the first step, the nurse gathers information about the patient’s medical history, current complaints, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Next, during the inspection phase, the patient’s abdomen is examined for any discoloration, swelling, scars, or hernias. In the third step, palpation, the nurse gently examines the patient’s abdomen with hands, assessing for tenderness, rigidity, or masses. The fourth step, auscultation, involves using a stethoscope to listen to bowel sounds, evaluating their frequency, intensity, and pattern. Finally, in the percussion phase, the nurse lightly taps the abdomen with their fingertips to assess sounds, identifying any gas or fluid accumulation. This five-step process provides a thorough evaluation of the gastrointestinal system’s health and allows for the early detection of potential issues.
Febrile Convusions and Child
Authors: Okusluk Behlul
Published: October 2024

Febrile convulsions (FC) are seizures associated with fever and are colloquially known as ""febrile seizures"". FC are seizures not associated with central nervous system pathology that are accompanied by a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. It is usually seen in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. It is divided into simple and complex FC. FC is the most common type of seizure in childhood and is more common in boys. It occurs most often around 18 months of age and is usually more common during the winter months.

The cause of FC is not well understood. Genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and sensitization of the developing nervous system to fever are thought to be etiologic factors. The effect of fever on the nervous system may trigger seizures. During a seizure, the child may experience loss of consciousness, convulsions, difficulty breathing, and sometimes urinary incontinence.The diagnosis of FC is based on clinical findings. A detailed neurological examination, family history, and developmental assessment are important. Complex FC may require additional tests such as EEG, neuroimaging, and lumbar puncture. Epilepsy, central nervous system infections, and other neurologic disorders should be excluded in the differential diagnosis of FC. Simple FC resolves spontaneously within a few minutes and usually does not require treatment. Seizures lasting more than five minutes require urgent medical attention. Treatment includes antipyretic and antiepileptic medications. While simple FC does not require intervention, complex FC may require hospitalization. FCs generally have a good prognosis and do not cause neurological problems. After the first seizure, one third of patients will have another seizure. Nurses play an important role in the diagnosis and management of FC. Safe intervention, family education and patient safety should be ensured. Families should be informed about FC and their anxiety should be reduced.
The Importance of Animal Proteins for Human Nutrition
Authors: Yavuz Sirac , Yavuz Imil Gulsun
Published: October 2024

Proteins, essential compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, are synthesized through peptide bonds between amino acids. Recognized in the 18th century, proteins’ significance in nutrition and biology was established by early hypotheses from scientists like Gerhardus Johannes Mulder and Berzelius. Proteins consist of 20 amino acids, categorized into essential and non-essential. Non-essential amino acids, such as glutamine, glycine, and cysteine, are synthesized by the body and support crucial functions like cell growth and metabolism. Essential amino acids, including phenylalanine, threonine, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), must be obtained from the diet and are vital for protein synthesis. BCAAs are significant in muscle metabolism and have shown health benefits in studies, including muscle mass preservation and mental health improvement. Projected global population growth to 9.7 billion by 2050 emphasizes the need for diverse protein sources. High-quality animal proteins, like those from eggs, meat, milk, and fish, are efficiently converted into body proteins. Plant proteins, though slightly less digestible, remain essential for sustainable nutrition. Protein quality is assessed using methods like the Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) and the newer Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS). Despite DIAAS being more accurate, PDCAAS is still widely used due to data limitations. Surveys in Türkiye show higher protein intake in males compared to females. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 g/kg of body weight, with variations across age and gender. Ensuring adequate protein intake is critical for health, as shown by varying nutritional statuses, especially in older populations, underscoring the importance of diverse protein sources.
Maize and Sorghum As Protein Sources
Authors: Koten Mehmet , Gul Ismail
Published: October 2024

In the food industry, protein sources play a crucial role in human nutrition. Traditionally, animal sources such as meat, dairy products and eggs have been recognised as the main source of protein, but plant protein sources are also receiving increasing attention. In this context, cereals such as maize and sorghum are considered as important vegetable protein sources. Maize is one of the most widely produced cereals worldwide and is an important source of protein. Although maize is low in lysine, one of the essential amino acids, it can be combined with other grains to make it a balanced protein source. Sorghum, like maize, is a low-cost protein source and can be grown in challenging conditions such as scarcity and drought. The high protein content of sorghum plays an important role in bridging the protein gap, especially in developing countries. Additionally, sorghum contains components with antioxidant properties, which are important for health benefits. Grains like maize and sorghum are rich in protein and economically accessible sources, holding significant potential to meet the protein needs in human nutrition and ensure food security. Therefore, research and applications to increase the protein content of these cereals will continue to play an important role in nutrition and agriculture in the future.

The Role of Antioxidants in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Tahiroglu Veysel
Published: October 2024

Alzheimer disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment. It is the most common form of dementia in the elderly population and its impact is increasing worldwide. More than 47 million people worldwide are thought to be affected by Alzheimer disease. Age is the leading risk factor, and research has shown that people over 60 are more likely to develop Alzheimer. Oxidation events constantly occur in living metabolism, and reactive oxygen substances taken from outside accelerate these oxidation events. Cell damage that may occur as a result of the increase in free radicals in the living body has the potential to cause serious health problems. In order to prevent Alzheimer disease, which is associated with free radical levels, oxidant substances must be balanced with antioxidants. It may be possible to get rid of the negative effects of free radicals with a balanced diet and sufficient antioxidant intake. Therefore, antioxidants are an important defense mechanism to reduce the risk of oxidant-related diseases and for a better quality and longer life. In addition, metals such as iron, copper and zinc are important for antioxidant enzymes in the brain to function and for metabolic processes such as myelination and neurotransmitter synthesis. However, it is known that the accumulation of metals such as iron, copper and zinc in the brain and disruption of the homeostasis of these metals also pose a risk for Alzheimer disease pathology. Considering all these situations, the role of antioxidants in the treatment of Alzheimer disease is examined in this section.

A Promising Bioactive Phytochemical; Rosmarinic Acid, Targets Nervous System Disorders
Authors: Cakir Oguz , Yilmaz Mustafa Abdullah
Published: October 2024

Rosmarinic acid (RA), a phenolic molecule found in culinary herbs, has shown potential therapeutic benefits for various neurodegenerative disorders due to its antiapoptotic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. RA can reduce oxidative stress, prevent cytotoxicity, and protect against neurotoxicity caused by various substances. It also mitigates the effects of metal ions and prevents iron-induced neurotoxicity in neuroblastoma cells. RA’s potential to improve central nervous system disorders is growing worldwide. It has been shown to suppress GABA transaminase activity and reduce seizures, and may be used in combination with anti-epileptic medications. RA can also reduce lipid peroxidation and prevent neurodegeneration in the hippocampus. However, its efficacy may be limited by endogenous barriers to targeted brain delivery, bioavailability, bio-accessibility, limited membrane permeability, and poor water-and lipid-solubility. Further research is needed to understand the precise biochemical pathways and key actors contributing to RA’s therapeutic benefits and make RA a suitable phytochemical dietary treatment for neurological disorders.
Pediatric Soft Tissue Tumors
Authors: Ates Fatih , Durmaz Mehmet Sedat
Published: October 2024

Soft tissue masses are very common and have an extraordinarily wide range of possible etiologies in pediatric age group. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified soft tissue tumors into nine distinct categories. Each category is further subdivided into benign, intermediate (locally aggressive), and malignant types. These categories are as follows: Adipocytic tumors; Muscle tissue tumors; Peripheral nerve sheath tumors; Fibrohistiocytic tumors; Fibroblastic - myofibroblastic tumors; Vascular tumors; Tumors of bone and cartilage; Ewing sarcoma family of tumors; Tumors of uncertain differentiation. Malignant soft tissue tumors (sarcomas) are relatively rare, representing less than 1% of all malignancies. Soft tissue sarcomas are associated with high mortality rates. For many soft tissue masses, it is quite difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant solely based on imaging. Some soft tissue sarcomas can appear deceptively well-defined, with smooth margins and homogeneous signal intensity. If a lesion does not have characteristics specific to a particular benign entity, it should be considered potentially malignant. Superficial soft tissue masses larger than 5 cm have a 10% chance of being sarcomas. Estimating the grade of a soft tissue sarcoma using imaging alone is unreliable. The presence of large, necrotic, and infiltrative masses supports a high-grade lesion. However, high-grade lesions can also appear small, homogeneous, and well-capsulated. Most soft tissue tumors exhibit non-specific, heterogeneous signal intensity characteristics on both T1-weighted (T1W) and fluid-sensitive MRI sequences. However, certain tissue signal types can help indicate a specific tumor type. Adipose tumors contain fatty tissue with high signal intensity on T1W images, and these fatty areas are seen as low signal intensity on fat-suppressed (FS) sequences. Fibroblastic tumors often contain areas with intermediate or low signal intensity on both T1W and fluid-sensitive MRI sequences. Fibrohistiocytic tumors frequently exhibit heterogeneous signal intensity characteristics. The presence of a mass in a typical location can also aid in suggesting a specific diagnosis.
Use of PET/CT in Neuroendocrine Tumors
Authors: Altun Tuzcu Sadiye
Published: October 2024

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare tumours arising from cells with a neuroendocrine phenotype dispersed through the body and characterised by the overexpression of somatostatin receptors. Because of this unique feature, functional imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of NETs. Ga-68 labelled somatostatin analogue PET/CT has demonstrated better performance than somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. Although different somatostatin analogues labelled with 68 Ga were available; no significant difference was found between their efficiency. Ga-68 DOTA-PET/CT has many roles on treatment including "theranostic" approach in NET patients and has a potential to be used as the first step imaging method in these patients. However, 18 F-FDG PET/CT seems to be a more appropriate imaging method as the first choice for aggressive, poorly differentiated neuroendocrine cancers. In this book chapter, we aimed to discuss radiopharmaceuticals and current imaging methods used in neuroendocrine tumors in the light of the literature.
Radiology of Spinal Tumors
Authors: Hattapoglu Salih
Published: October 2024

Spinal cord and paraspinal mass lesions can be identified radiologically, allowing for the planning of treatment processes.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most important non-invasive radiological method for identifying spinal lesions . Apart from its lack of ionizing radiation, MRI is used for diagnosing lesions affecting the spinal cord due to its high soft tissue resolution . Moreover, preoperative imaging of the brain and spine is mandatory to exclude cerebrospinal fluid displacing masses. Lesions within the spinal cord typically demonstrate contrast enhancement. Detection of malignant cysts within the lesion is crucial for surgery. Peripheral enhancement necessitates resection. A comprehensive spinal MRI should include contrast-enhanced brain MRI to exclude metastatic lesions in cases of lesion detection. Spinal lesions can be metastatic lesions of intracranial neoplasms.

The Role of Vitamins in Brain Health
Authors: Sabancilar Ilhan
Published: October 2024

The brain is one of the most complex organs of the body and requires proper nutrition to function healthily. Vitamins are organic compounds necessary for the normal metabolism of the body. There are many vitamins that regulate brain functions, and these are usually obtained from foods or supplements. The brain is a system that processes, stores, integrates, or changes different pieces of information simultaneously. One of the fundamental purposes of the brain is to adapt to the environment. Therefore, the brain responds to changes and stimuli in its surroundings and creates new behaviors. Cognitive functions include various brain functions such as memory, learning, spatial orientation, reasoning, judgment and evaluation. The decline of these functions can lead to the emergence of certain chronic diseases. The brain responds to changes and stimuli in its surroundings and forms new behaviors.It is observed that these vitamins are crucial for the continued function of brain cells and the preservation of brain health. A balanced diet is important to ensure an adequate intake of these vitamins. Vitamins are organic compounds that are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Substances are divided into two groups: those soluble in water and those soluble in oil. In this compilation, we examined the effects of vitamins on brain health and their role in metabolism.
Immunotherapy in Solid Tumors
Authors: Kalkan Ziya , Oruc Zeynep
Published: October 2024

Immunotherapy addresses the immune suppression originating from the tumor and its microenvironment, so that the immune system targets and kills cancer cells. Surgical resection has the potential to offer a cure in some cases, but the majority of advanced solid tumors are not suitable for using this method. Long-lasting and durable responses are achieved with immunotherapy in some patient groups. Cancer immunotherapy is incorporated into multidisciplinary cancer treatment gradually more, partly thanks to its potential to provide permanent disease control for more patients. Further studies are needed to expand the impact of immunotherapy to include a broader range of solid tumor types.
Hyperthermia: Causes, Symptoms, Prevention and Treatment
Authors: Isik Omer
Published: October 2024

Hyperthermia is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures to damage and kill cancer cells. The objective of this treatment is to raise the temperature in tumor up to such a therapeutic level that cell death occurs. Hyperthermia, the use of elevated temperatures to treat cancer, has emerged as a promising adjuvant therapy. By raising the temperature of tumor tissues to 40-45°C, hyperthermia enhances the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy. This therapeutic approach can damage and kill cancer cells with minimal harm to normal tissues, primarily by causing protein denaturation and disruption of cellular functions. Advances in hyperthermia techniques, including localized and whole-body applications, are improving targeting precision and patient outcomes. Clinical studies have shown that hyperthermia can increase tumor sensitivity to other treatments, leading to improved response rates and survival in various cancers. Despite its potential, challenges remain in optimizing delivery methods and integrating hyperthermia into standard treatment protocols.

Agricultural Policies and Climate Change
Authors: Akin Songul
Published: October 2024

Feeding has been the most important activity of human beings since the day they came into existence. The first steps of humans in the name of civilization are "agriculture" with a focus on nutrition. Agricultural activity started when people realized that plants reproduce with seeds and animals reproduce with animal seeds and consciously cultivated them. Therefore, it is possible to say that the foundation of culture and civilization was laid with agriculture. Clans, police states, fiefdoms, empires and today’s states all survive as long as they can feed their citizens. Self-sufficiency in food is at the top of the development criteria of countries. "Agricultural policies" have an important place in ensuring this competence. Policies are renewed according to changing conditions because life is dynamic, not stable. Due to the fact that agriculture is largely dependent on nature, agricultural policies need to be adapted as the impact of climate change starts to be felt day by day. In this study, the relationship between agricultural policies and global climate change and environmentally protective agricultural policies for climate change in Türkiye are discussed.

Authors: Balikci Berna , Donmezdil Suleyman
Published: October 2024

In this section, depression in the geriatric population will be discussed. Although depression is a common psychiatric disorder in the geriatric population, approximately 50% of patients remain undiagnosed. In depression in older ages, the mood symptoms of sadness, sadness, and grief may not be prominent. Generalized anxiety, irritability, restlessness, childish behavior, stubbornness, constant complaining, whining, and excessive demandingness are also masked manifestations of depression. In older ages, the rate of spontaneous recovery is low, and the risk of suicide is high. Depression has effects such as causing physical difficulties, developing medical diseases, and increasing mortality. For this reason, early diagnosis and treatment are of great importance. When using psychotropic drugs in elderly patients, appropriate drug selection should be made by taking liver, kidney, or heart dysfunctions into consideration, and concomitantly used drugs should be evaluated.
Aspiration Pneumonia in Children
Authors: Nerede Helin , Oruc Menduh
Published: October 2024

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by an aberrant wound healing response following lung injury, leading to excessive fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition. Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts play a central role in the disease process. They proliferate abnormally and produce collagen and other matrix proteins, resulting in fibrosis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition where epithelial cells transform into mesenchymal cells, contributes to the pool of fibroblasts in the fibrotic lung. Mutations in genes related to telomere maintenance (TERT, TERC) and surfactant proteins (SFTPC, SFTPA2) have been linked to familial and sporadic idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis cases. Environmental triggers as exposure to environmental factors such as cigarette smoke, occupational dusts, and viral infections may trigger or exacerbate the disease in genetically predisposed individuals. The hallmark pattern seen in IPF is Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) that includes patchy fibrosis that occurs in a heterogeneous, patchy distribution within the lung. Honeycombing characterized by formation of cystic spaces lined by bronchiolar epithelium, typically found in subpleural and paraseptal regions. Fibroblastic foci comprised of clusters of proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts at the leading edge of fibrotic areas. Temporal and spatial heterogeneity with the presence of normal lung, early (fibroblastic foci) and late (honeycombing) lesions within the same lung biopsy, indicating ongoing disease activity.

A NOVA CULTURA DA APRENDIZAGEM: O QUE OS PROFESSORES DEVEM SABER
Authors: Linhares Clarice Schneider
Published: October 2024

Este artigo foi o resultado de estudo sobre o conceito de aprendizagem como parte da disciplina Psicologia da Educação 2, ministrada no Curso de Pedagogia na Universidade Estadual do Centro Oeste - UNICENTRO, cuja ementa trata da relação entre o processo de desenvolvimento e da aprendizagem. Inicialmente os alunos apresentaram os temas sobre o fato de que aprendizagem é incessante; que todos têm capacidade de aprender; que há um distanciamento em o que aprendemos na escola e o que de fato deveríamos aprender, e finalmente a influência da sociedade de informação sobre a sociedade do conhecimento. Esses aspectos tratados e estudados em sala de aula, com textos e autores que discutem a importante relação entre oprocesso do desenvolvimento e da aprendizagem, levou os alunos a estabelecer relações com a realidade das salas de aula das escolas públicas Ainda não se tem respostas para muitas das questões que foram levantadas durante essa pesquisa, como por exemplo: porque alguns alunos aprendem com mais facilidade e outros não embora as condições do meio sejam as mesmas, ou o que torna uma aprendizagem realmente eficiente. Entretanto este estudo permitiu que mesmo os acadêmicos, que ainda não estão na sala de aula atuando como professores, possam compreender que a nova cultura da aprendizagem modifica também a relação professor/aluno e o papel que a escola exerce sobre o processo do conhecimento.

VINCULAÇÃO ENTRE INSTRUMENTOS DE AVALIAÇÃO DA DOR LOMBAR À CLASSIFICAÇÃO INTERNACIONAL DE FUNCIONALIDADE, INCAPACIDADE E SAÚDE (CIF)
Authors: Kruger Adriane
Published: October 2024

A dor lombar é considerada uma das alterações musculoesqueléticas mais comuns na população brasileira. Utilizando os questionários Roland-Morris Brasil,Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia e o FABQ associado ao CIF, buscou-se a positividade da interação. Percebeu-se que a utilização da CIF classifica os comprometimentos e mudanças das funções e estruturas do corpo, limitações de atividades e restrições na participação. A classificação é um ótimo instrumento para avaliar a funcionalidade e incapacidade em pacientes com dor lombar e contribui para melhor elaboração de plano de tratamento fisioterapêutico.
Tripplanner: desenvolvimento de um sistema colaborativo para organização de viagens
Authors: Passaglia Bruno
Published: October 2024

O turismo é uma importante atividade econômica em diversas nações ao redor do mundo. A fim de movimentá-lo, praticá-lo e explorá-lo, empresas e até mesmo pessoas criam e organizam viagens, que podem envolver um grupo de diversos indivíduos. É de interesse de todos os envolvidos, tanto quem organiza quanto quem atende à viagem, que o planejamento e organização destas seja claro e eficiente.   Porém nem sempre tais atributos estão presentes,  prejudicando a comunicação e entendimento entre as partes envolvidas.  Pode-se atribuir essa falha, a diversas razões, entre elas a ferramenta utilizada, pode ser citada como uma delas. Visando auxiliar organizadores e viajantes a superar essa dificuldade de comunicação, este artigo propõe o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta capaz de concentrar as informações pertinentes à viagem em um único lugar e possibilitar aos interessados uma participação ativa no processo de planejamento, oferecendo-lhes uma abordagem diferente das comumente utilizadas.
A PROBLEMATIZAÇÃO COMO ALIADA NO ENSINO APRENDIZAGEM
Authors: Pereira Bianca Raquel Garcia Fagundes
Published: October 2024

A pergunta é a ferramenta dessas estratégias de ensino, pois, a partir de tal problematização, educadores e educandos aprendentes de um mesmo processo de ensinagem, interagem para a construção do conhecimento e a transformação da realidade. Um sujeito formado nesse processo não assume uma atitude contemplativa, mas ao contrario, uma responsabilização, um compromisso social e uma autonomia, características fundamentais ao exercício profissional. Este artigo tem como objetivo uma reflexão sobre o papel do professor problematizador, onde a função do educador é problematizar, trazer perguntas, compartilhar a realidade, questionar, experienciar, conhecer, aprender, libertar, humanizar. Sendo este estudo, uma provocação à atual construção do pensamento cientifico, refletindo sobre teorias distintas que permitem a compreensão dos caminhos percorridos pela aprendizagem e ciência

Authors: Wawschenowski Alan Augusto , Honorato Ilma Célia Ribeiro
Published: October 2024

A presente pesquisa reforça a importância do professor de Educação Física quanto do profissional de Educação Física em atuarem na rede pública de ensino, em específico nas escolas de tempo integral. Para tanto, trabalhamos com a seguinte problemática: Como a Educação Física está configurada na escola de tempo integral? Com o intuito de responder essa questão, elencamos como objetivo geral: Analisar como a Educação Física está configurada na escola de tempo integral e, como objetivos específicos: apontar os conteúdos trabalhados pela educação física em contraturno; verificar as diferenças das aulas de educação física e dos componentes curriculares; desvelar as perspectivas da equipe diretiva em relação a Educação Física na escola em tempo integral. A metodologia da pesquisa foi uma abordagem qualitativa delineada por um estudo de caso. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram três professores, sendo uma professora da disciplina de Educação Física, um professor do componente curricular e o diretor do Estabelecimento de Ensino. Como instrumento de pesquisa, utilizamos uma entrevista semi-estruturada e analisamos os dados por meio da análise de conteúdo precedida da técnica da categorização. Concluímos que a Educação Física é de extrema importância na escola de tempo integral, uma vez que com maior quantidade de aulas, consegue aprofundar nos campos cognitivos, afetivos e motores dos alunos, pois eles permanecem em torno de nove horas no colégio, tornando uma saída para unir a teoria e a prática. Durante a pesquisa foram abordados problemas com relação a estrutura e a atualização dos professores para trabalhar com o componente complementar.
