A Legal Perspective on Sustainable Development and Urban Poverty in South Africa
Authors: Knox-Mosdell Susan Carolyn
Published: August 2022

The doctrine of sustainable development has its origins in the realm of international environmental law. This article considers its potential usefulness for the purposes of alleviating urban poverty in South Africa. Urban poverty is an endemic and persistent phenomenon in South African cities, which lack economic and social integration. In the realm of international sustainable development discourse, it has come to be acknowledged in more recent years that sustainable development is intertwined with issues of poverty. South African legislation and case law acknowledge sustainable development but do not consider its possible usefulness as an underpinning doctrine for urban poverty alleviation. The potential of the doctrine for this purpose has been justifiably questioned on several grounds. However, it is possible to conceptualise ways in which it can be deployed as a theoretical basis for initiatives towards such alleviation. It is argued in this article that all three branches of government in South Africa should play a role in achieving this.
Una perspectiva de género en matemática educativa
Authors: Simón-Ramos María Guadalupe , Rodríguez-Muñoz Claudia , Farfán-Márquez Rosa María
Published: September 2022

Desde la teoría socioepistemológica, la teoría feminista y la teoría de las representaciones sociales, se analiza un panorama amplio de investigaciones mexicanas sobre las diferencias de género en diversas dimensiones de la matemática escolar, el cual destaca la incidencia de las expectativas docentes y familiares, los aspectos socioculturales y los estereotipos de género como elementos que atraviesan el discurso matemático escolar. Todos estos propician que niñas y mujeres vean limitada la posibilidad de participar en la construcción de conocimiento matemático. En este sentido, planteamos la siguiente discusión: ¿Cómo el discurso matemático escolar excluye a las mujeres? El texto expone varias rutas de investigación futuras desde la socioepistemología que buscan incorporar la perspectiva de género en la enseñanza de las matemáticas.
Intentionality and Inner Awareness
Authors: Zottoli Davide
Published: September 2022

The contemporary discussion on the subjective character of conscious experience is characterized by a stark contrast between higher-order intentionalism, according to which any state of awareness depends on the instantiation of intentional properties by mental states, and anti-intentionalism, according to which the inner awareness constitutive of subjective experience is fundamentally different from ordinary instances of external or introspective awareness, in that one’s experience is not given to the subject as an ordinary intentional object. The purpose of this paper is to outline the most fundamental dimensions of variation among the different kinds of higher-order theories and to show, by providing a comprehensive analysis of the logical space available, that these seemingly incompatible views can be reconciled within an intentionalist framework.

Authors: Milad Marine
Published: September 2022

Students-teachers are students who study to become Teaching English as a Foreign language (TEFL) teachers. They receive teaching trainings, observe certified teachers’ teachings performance, and do some supervised teaching practices in EFL classrooms for the elementary and secondary stages.  The current study aims at presenting a supplementary program to support a practical course on methods of teaching English as a foreign language for the elementary stage. The supplementary program has been developed by the researcher to enhance Arab Open University (AOU) student-teachers’ skills of teaching listening, speaking, reading, writing, and vocabulary for elementary stage pupils through a language project that focuses on instilling social values in these young pupils. This was mainly done with samples of practical examples, interactive discussions and tasks of practical nature posted on Learning Management System (LMS) following Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) methodology in accordance with the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of the course. The study has adopted the Constructoactive Model developed by Sahakian and Ghoneim (2007) to promote pupils’ knowledge of different methods of teaching English as a foreign language and to familiarize young pupils with good social values and their related vocabulary items. In addition, the supplementary program has adopted Stoller's (1997) model for developing project work. The model has proved to be helpful in promoting the student-teachers’ performance in teaching different language skills, writing lesson plans and giving demo class presentations for the developed lesson plans by using PowerPoint/Prezi presentations, open-source video/audio links and a number of software programs (such as Kahoot, Quizlet, and Grammarly).

The Syntactic Argumentation of the Word / le: š / in Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Qaisiya Fatima M. Al , Qaisiya Maha M. Al
Published: September 2022

This study aims at investigating the syntactic status of the word /le:š / in question formation in Jordanian Arabic (JA). It is argued that this word has two syntactic functions in JA questions. The first of which is that it works as interrogative operator, meaning ‘why’, which moved to the [Spec C] position in one type of wh-question. However, the second role of this word is found in other types of questions, wh-questions and yes-no questions. In these types of questions /le:š/ is realized as an interrogative complementiser formed within the  C position  and giving the interrogative force for the question. To this end, empirical evidence is given and discussed to distinguish between the two syntactic representations of this word especially in ambiguous cases of having two different types of questions sharing the same surface structure.

Authors: Zheng Shaohui , Deng Chaoqun
Published: September 2022

Aiming to help cultivate students’ independent thinking and problem-solving ability, in accordance with the current situation and characteristics of Business Interpreting teaching in China, this paper proposes a blended online and offline teaching mode of Business Interpreting based on “objective problem orientation” with the help of the MOOC platform. Combined with scientific and reasonable formative assessment in teaching according to their aptitude, students are motivated to make full use of fragmented time to improve the efficiency of online and offline learning. Through pushing, discussing and solving five types of objective problems before class, in class and after class, students are asked to make more self-evaluation, peer evaluation on their simulating interpreting practice and teachers give more constructive advice in class and after class to help students further improve their practical interpreting skills. The results of the teaching experiment and the course satisfaction survey show that the proposed teaching mode can help to improve students’ interpreting skills, practical ability and the ability to solve cross-cultural problems, which provides an effective experimental reference for the future course enhancement of Business Interpreting. It is hoped that this mode can also provide a new perspective for the development and research of interpreting teaching in the post-epidemic era.

Authors: Mahameed Mohammed I. , Abuhammam Emad A. , Hammam Amjed A. Abu
Published: September 2022

This study is a comparative descriptive investigation of the representation of death in the Holy Quran and the poetry of the English poet John Donne. It focuses on the concept of death as a real and ultimate truth. The study considers death as a thematic contemplation that every Man is worried about. Death in the Holy Quran and Donne’s poetry has been previously studied from different individual viewpoints, but none has adopted it comparatively from a thematic perspective. This study also adopts many echelons of the religious themes presented by these works in the treatment of death such as the truth of death, submission and forgiveness, and resurrection in both Islamic and Christian religions. The study signifies the similarities and differences in the discussion and analysis part. It concludes that despite the cultural, religious beliefs, and time and place differences, the Holy Quran and Donne’s poetry share some thematic and religious factors that lead towards religious perception of death including evidences of the reality of death, mortality of people, and the resurrection after death.

Authors: Zhong Wenjun , Zhang Yuxuan , Jin Yajing
Published: September 2022

Through reviewing studies of military English teaching in the context of Chinese military academies, this paper is aimed at locating both research gaps and weaknesses as well as achievements in an effort to contribute to research and development of military English teaching in Chinese military academies. Seven research topics are identified and the overall situation and problems in topic selection and in research design are then discussed. It is found that over years this field witnesses an increasing number of research projects, indicating a growing recognition of military English teaching in Chinese military academies. However, for topic selection, many topics are too broad and general while students and teachers, technology in teaching, and testing and assessment receive only minimal attention. For research design, plenty of researchers fail to illustrate explicitly their research questions and are thus confusing in terms of their research focuses. While most studies are not empirical and often too subjective, empirical ones usually adopt the quantitative approach and face reliability issue generated from data collection and analysis procedures. Accordingly, the authors tentatively propose some suggestions and future research directions to improve the situation.

Doğal biyolojik polimer olan ahşap malzemenin, diğer yapı malzemelerine kıyasla önemli avantajları bulunmaktadır. Ancak ahşap malzeme, dış ortam koşullarında dayanıklı bir yapıya sahip olmadığı için mutlaka emprenye edilerek veya çeşitli üst yüzey işlemleri yapılarak kullanılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, sarıçam (Pinus sylvestris L.) örnekleri %0,1; %0,2; %0,5; %0,7; %1; %2; %3; %4 ve %5 konsantrasyonda nano seryum oksit (CeO2) ile muamele edilmiş ve örneklerin hızlandırılmış yaşlandırma testi sonrasında renk değişimi ile yüzey kimyasındaki değişim araştırılmıştır. Hızlandırılmış yaşlandırma testine maruz bırakılan örneklerde başlangıçtan sonra 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 ve 168 saatte renk ve yüzey kimyasındaki değişim belirlenmiştir. Seryum oksidin etkinliği aynı konsantrasyon değerlerinde hazırlanan Tanalith-E çözeltisi ile muamele edilen örnekler ile kıyaslanmıştır. Böylece, seryum oksidin dış ortama maruz kalan ahşap malzemenin yüzey özelliklerinin iyileştirilmesinde, referans maddeye kıyasla kullanılabilirliği değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, seryum oksit ve Tanalith-E ile muamele edilen örneklerde kontrol örneklerine kıyasla yüzey özellikleri korunmuştur. Araştırılan yüzey özelliklerindeki değişim en fazla, yaşlandırma testinin ilk saatlerinde gözlenmiş, seryum oksidin bakır bazlı emprenye maddesine (Tanalith-E) benzer sonuçlar verdiği bulunmuştur.

Doğal bir mühendislik yapı malzemesi olan ahşap, dış ortam koşullarında dış cephe, yürüyüş yolları, kamelya, ev yapımı gibi pek çok kullanım yerlerinde değerlendirilebilirken, iç mekan kullanımı için de sıklıkla tercih edilen dekoratif bir malzeme olmaktadır. Ahşabın iç mekan malzemesi olarak kullanımında, özellikle mobilyada yüzey görünümü ve renk stabilizasyonu çok önemlidir. Ahşap ürünlerde dış ortam koşullarına benzer şekilde iç ortamda da ligninin foto-oksidasyonu sonucu zamanla sararmalar ve koyulaşmalar görülmektedir. Ahşabın güneş ışınlarına karşı dayanımının belirlenmesi amacıyla laboratuvar koşullarında UV, nem ve sıcaklığın değişken döngülerinde belirli bir sürede yapay yaşlandırma testine tabi tutulması yaygın bir uygulama olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ahşabın servis ömrünün doğru tespit edilmesi için laboratuvar koşullarındaki testlerin yanı sıra doğal ortam koşullarına maruz bırakılma gerekli görülmektedir. İç ortam koşullarında pencere yakınındaki kullanım yeri olan ahşap malzemeler camdan geçen güneş ışıkları nedeniyle renk değişimi ve yüzey bozunmasına maruz kalabilmekte ve bu bozunma UVA-351 nm’lik lambaların kullanılması ile yapay olarak simüle edilebilmektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında, ahşap malzemenin iç ortam koşullarında kullanımı sırasında maruz kalabileceği bozundurucu faktörlerin ahşabın özelliklerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada farklı yapay ve doğal iç ortam yaşlandırma test yöntemleri irdelenmiş ayrıca yapay ve doğal yaşlandırma arasında modelleme çalışmalarına da değinilmiştir.

Published: August 2022

Bilindiği üzere odun esaslı levha ürünlerinin özellikle kullanım yerlerinde suya ve rutubete maruz kaldıklarında dayanımlarının az olması bu ürünlerin dezavantajlı olarak kabul edilen ve iyileştirilmesi gereken özelliklerinden biridir. Bu nedenle odun esaslı levhaların suya, rutubete karşı dayanımlarını artırabilmek adına üretimleri esnasında su itici maddeler kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, levha üretiminde yaygın olarak kullanılan su itici maddelerden biri olan parafine alternatif olarak iki farklı vaks-mum türü seçilmiş ve etkinlikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Levha örneklerinin 2-24 saat süre için kalınlığına şişme (KŞ) ve su alma (SA) değerleri, yüzey pürüzlülük parametreleri ile yüzey sertlik değerleri belirlenmiştir. Ölçümler sonucunda, kontrol grubuna kıyasla diğer grupların KŞ ve SA oranlarında belirgin derecede iyileşme olduğu belirlenmiştir. Özellikle sadece parafin, parafin-balmumu ve parafin-soya vaksı karışımlarının tutkala ilave edildiği grupların oldukça düşük SA ve KŞ değerleri verdiği görülmüştür. Yüzey pürüzlülük parametreleri ise vaks türüne, uygulama yöntemine bağlı olarak değişim göstermiştir. En yüksek yüzey sertlik değeri balmumu ve parafinin karışım halinde yüzeye uygulandığı grupta elde edilmiştir. Buna göre, kullanılan bitkisel ve hayvansal vaks türlerinin de su itici etki gösterebilecekleri, özellikle uygun yöntem ve farklı kombinasyonlarla uygulanmaları durumunda etkinliklerinin artırılabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Bu çalışmada subasar ormanlarda odun hammaddesi üretim faaliyetleri, bazı teknik ve çevresel yönlerden incelenmiştir. Çalışma alanı olarak Hendek Orman İşletme Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı Süleymaniye Orman İşletme Şefliği’nde bulunan subasar ormanlar seçilmiştir. Çalışma alanında kesim, bölmeden çıkarma ve uzak nakliyat işleri teknik ve çevresel yönlerden incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda; üretim zamanının, su basması nedeniyle kısıtlı olduğu, az miktarda yağışlı dönemde dahi üretime engel olacak seviyede suyun toprak yüzeyinde bulunduğu ve hatta ağaç damgalama dönemi olan Ocak-Nisan ayları arasında suyun 1-1,5 m yükseldiği belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca kesim ve bölmeden çıkarma işlemini gerçekleştirebilmek için alanda büz yerleştirerek drenajın yapıldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Sahada toplam 32 sefer bölmeden çıkarma işlemi incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda, arazi eğiminin düz ya da düze yakın olması ve piyasa talepleri nedeniyle üretim metodu olarak bütün gövde metodu kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışma alanında su basması ortalama 50 cm seviyesinde tespit edilmiştir. Subasar ormanlarda en önemli problemin toprak yüzeyinde biriken ve yükselen suyun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu tür alanların toprak tipi genelde balçıklı olduğundan, bölmeden çıkarma için zemine daha iyi tutunan geniş lastikli traktörler kullanılmalıdır.

Odun esaslı levhaların hidrofilik malzeme olmalarından dolayı üretimleri sırasında hidrofob özellik kazandıran kimyasal maddeler ile muamele edilmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, orta yoğunluklu lif levha üretiminde çapraz bağlayıcı su itici reçine kimyasalı olan Dimetiloldihidroksietilenüre (DMDHEU) kimyasalı kullanılarak, levha yoğunluğunun ve levha üretim sırasında kimyasalın life farklı ilave edilme şeklinin, levhanın mekanik ve fiziksel özellikleri üzerine etkilerininin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Levha üretiminde Melamin Üre Formaldehit tutkalı (1,16 mol, %5 melamin katkılı), sertleştirici olarak amonyum klorür ve %2,2 oranında DMDHEU kimyasalı kullanılmıştır. DMDHEU kimyasalı lifin tutkallama işleminde life tutkallama öncesi (TÖ), tutkallama sonrası (TS) ve tutkal ile birlikte (TB) olmak üzere üç farklı şekilde ilave edilmiştir. DMDHEU kimyasalının ilavesi ile üretilen levhaların su alma ve şişme değerleri kontrol levhasına göre daha düşük olarak bulunmuştur. Üretilen levhaların yoğunluk değerlerinin artması ile su alma ve kalınlığına şişme değerlerinin azalma eğiliminde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Levhaların mekanik özelliklerinde levha yoğunluğunun artması ile iyileşmeler elde edilmekle birlikte kimyasalın TS ilavesinde ise özellikle eğilme (43,78 N/mm2) ve çekme direnci (1,78 N/mm2) değerlerinde en iyi sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.
Characteristics of Seismogenic Structures and 3D Stress State of the Delaware Basin of West Texas as Constrained by Earthquake Source Mechanisms
Authors: Huang Guo-chin Dino , Horne Elizabeth , Kavoura Florentia , Savvaidis Alexandros
Published: August 2022

Seismicity in the Delaware basin is suggested to be associated with oilfield operations. To better characterize the seismogenic structures revealed by the induced seismicity, in this study we determined source mechanisms for the Delaware basin of Texas and leveraged the obtained source mechanisms to perform stress inversion for evaluating the region’s stress state. Based on the seismogenic patterns and seismicity distribution, we identified seven distinctive seismogenic zones. Within each zone, earthquakes form several parallel-trending linear clusters. Most notably, there is an observable change in the seismicity trend on either side of the basin-bisecting Grisham fault zone. In addition, the extent of hypocentral depths vary drastically across the fault zone, with events located below the basin–basement interface north of the fault zone and more shallowly to the south. We also see spatial variations of source mechanism patterns and the direction of the maximum horizontal stress across the Delaware basin. A vast majority of seismic moment release can be attributed to the basement-rooted tectonic faults in the Culberson–Mentone seismogenic zone. A statistic deficit present in the magnitude–frequency distribution suggests that earthquakes with Mw 3.8–4.7 are needed to fulfill this scaling law. It indicates a strong possibility for future occurrence of earthquakes within this magnitude range.

O asociacionismo do maxisterio ourensán no primeiro terzo do século XX
Authors: Cid Fernández Xosé Manuel , Cid Galante Rosa María
Published: September 2022

Este estudo trata da creación e os propósitos da Asociación Provincial de Mestres en Ourense. Tamén analiza o intenso labor das asociacións dos diferentes partidos xudiciais e o seu funcionamento interno, organización, implicación dos asociados e accións máis destacadas. Os docentes van ver no asociacionismo unha posibilidade para demandar melloras na súa situación profesional e na súa consideración social e tamén un medio para fomentar a solidariedade. Todo iso enmárcase no primeiro terzo do século XX que é un período de importantes cambios no ámbito educativo.Aínda que, efectivamente, as asociacións de mestres tiñan certa inquietude reivindicativa, tamén é certo que non supuxeron unha preocupación para a Administración, pois actuaban dentro dun marco de respecto á autoridade administrativa e non eran, en absoluto, excesivamente esixentes nin combativas con ela.

Escritas e Cultura na Europa e no Atlântico Modernos
Authors: Marques Alves Luís Alberto
Published: September 2022

Este livro revisita através de muitos olhares e perspetivas, e pela mão de autores consagrados e com sustentada investigação sobre os temas tratados, o sentido da “cultura escrita como constitutiva da Europa e do Atlântico modernos”, numa época onde o poder político se redefine, se estrutura e tenta, através da institucionalização desta cultura, legitimar-se perante uma Nação que, por isso mesmo, terá de ser alfabetizada.

Antidepressant’s long-term effect on cognitive performance and cardiovascular system
Authors: Nasser A.H.S.
Published: September 2022

Background: The nature of antidepressants and their adverse effects should be considered when treating severe depression in individuals with psychotic symptoms. Antidepressant prescription rates have risen steadily over the last 30 years, affecting people of all ages. Aim: The goal of this study was to see if depression and antidepressant usage were linked to long-term changes in cognitive function and cardiovascular health. Methodology: Meta-analysis was performed using PRISMA guidelines along with using the SPIDER search framework using related keywords on different search engines i.e. Google scholars, PubMed, Scopus, ISI, etc. Total (n=2256) papers were obtained and assessed for eligibility. Altogether 15 studies were included using databases and other methods. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale examined the grades provided by the data after numerous screenings. Result: A distinct link was found between antidepressants with cognitive performance and the cardiovascular system. Dementia and hypertension were prevailing long-term effects caused by frequent use of antidepressants in chronic and mild depression.
Analysis of changes in heart rate variability before and after a table tennis match depending on the outcome
Authors: Picabea Jon M , Cámara Jesús , Yanci Javier
Published: August 2022

The aim of this study was to compare heart rate variability (HRV) indices before and after a table tennis match, depending in match result. HRV indices were measured before (PRE) and after (POST) match periods to 21 table tennis players (21.86 ± 8.34 yr) in 30 matches. No significant differences were found neither in PRE nor in POST measures comparing winners and losers. A significantly lower value (p < 0.05) was found in mean of RR intervals (mean RR), standard deviation of RR intervals (SDNN), the natural logarithm transform of the root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats (LnRMSSD), relative number of successive RR interval pairs that differ more than 50 ms (pNN50), cross (SD1) and longitudinal (SD2) axis of Poincaré plot comparing POST values with PRE values. Nevertheless, low frequency index expressed in absolute power (LF Power) and high frequency indices expressed in absolute power (HF power) and normalised power (HF Power) showed different trends depending on the results (p < 0.05). The obtained results show a HRV decrease after table tennis match regardless the match result, in both time domain and non-linear indices. However, frequency domain indices show a different trend depending on the match outcome.

AIM: To compare the ciliary body thickness between eyes with primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with the normal eyes, and to investigate the association between ciliary body thickness and ciliary processes situation.
METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 57 patients with PAC/PACG were matched to 57 normal subjects after propensity score matching (PSM) adjusting for age and gender. All subjects underwent conventional ocular examinations and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) examination, among which the patients with PAC/PACG performed the examinations one month after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). Quantitative parameters were measured, which included ciliary body thickness at the position of 1 mm posterior to the scleral spur (CBT1), trabecular-ciliary process distance (TCPD) and trabecular-ciliary process angle (TCA).
RESULTS: Eyes with PAC/PACG presented significantly thinner CBT1, shorter TCPD and smaller TCA (P<0.001) than the normal eyes, both in comparison of the means of four quadrants and in comparisons of each quadrant. After removing images with peripheral anterior synechia (PAS), the same results were also found in comparisons between the two groups. Significant correlations were found between TCPD (R2=0.537, P<0.001) and TCA (R2=0.517, P<0.001) with CBT1.
CONCLUSION: Eyes with PAC/PACG have thinner ciliary body thickness and more anteriorly situated ciliary processes. Thinner ciliary body thickness is associated with anterior situation of the ciliary processes.

AIM: To report a case which keratitis is the first clinical manifestation of COVID-19 that occurred 3d earlier than the common COVID-19 symptoms.
METHODS: Regular slit lamp examination, corneal scraping test, and chest computed tomography (CT) were performed for patients with COVID-19 infection. The ophthalmologic treatment included ganciclovir eye drop (50 mg/mL, 6 times/d). The treatment for diarrhea included Guifu Lizhong pills (TID). The antiviral therapy consisted of oseltamivir (75 mg capsule Q12H); therapy preventing bacterial infection consisted of azithromycin (250 mg tablet QD) and moxifloxacin (0.4 g tablet Q12H); and therapy for cough relief and fever prevention consisted of Chinese herbal decoction.
RESULTS: A 35-year-old male suddenly suffered pain, photophobia, and tears in his right eye for one day without systemic COVID-19 symptoms. Patient was diagnosed with keratitis, which was seemingly different from common keratitis. Ganciclovir eye drop was initiated. The corneal scraping test for COVID-19 was positive. The chest CT images were abnormal confirming the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. The antiviral and antibacterial therapies were initiated. Chinese herbal therapy was used for cough relief and fever prevention. After roughly two weeks, patient recovered from COVID-19.
CONCLUSION: A new type of keratitis, atypical keratitis, is a clinical manifestation of COVID-19, and this clinical manifestation could appear 3d earlier than fever and cough. The earlier a COVID-19 clinical manifestation is identified, the earlier can a patient be directed to stay at home, and significantly fewer people would be infected.

Published: September 2022

Objetivo: Analisar o controle postural de atletas de esportes coletivos das categorias de base, e comparar essa variável entre as categorias.  Materiais e métodos: Foram incluídos atletas amadores do sexo masculino, de esportes coletivos (futebol de campo, futsal, handebol, voleibol e basquetebol), das categorias Sub-13, Sub-15 e Sub-17. O controle postural dos atletas foi avaliado por meio da posturografia dinâmica computadorizada, por meio dos testes de organização sensorial (TOS), divididos em seis condições sensoriais e valor de composite, e o teste unipodal.Resultados: Foram incluídos 150 jovens atletas (14,2±1,68 anos). Em quatro, das seis condições sensoriais dos TOS, o controle postural da equipe Sub-13 foi inferior às demais categorias (p<0,05), porém sem diferenças entre as equipes Sub-15 e Sub-17. Com relação ao equilíbrio unipodal, a equipe Sub-13 apresentou um maior grau de oscilação do que a equipe Sub-17 (p<0,05).Conclusões: As diferenças do controle postural encontradas entre as categorias podem servir como base para a criação de estratégias de prevenção de lesão no esporte.
