Background: Traditionally, the clinical education of physiotherapy students in Germany takes place in inpatient settings. Against the background that the majority of graduated physiotherapists work in private settings like private practices, this education structure is no longer viable. Therefore, there is a need to develop models of cooperation between private practice and schools of physiotherapy. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe advantages, barriers and options of collaboration between physiotherapy educational institutions and private practices. Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted, in which two practice owners of a physiotherapy practice and two programme directors were interviewed using a problem-centred interview approach. All participants were contacted via email or telephone. Textual data was analysed using thematic analysis, to inductively discover and describe relevant themes. Results: The economic conditions of private practices in Germany, legal requirements and training regulations are identified as the main barriers preventing forms of collaboration. One of the advantages of offering students practical placements is their probable future employment. Successful collaboration may depend on remunerating clinical instruction time, relaxing legal requirements or increasing the participation of schools in practical training. Conclusion: Private practice needs financial and content-related support to engage in clinical education. Health insurance companies or the government could act as financial sponsors.

Authors: Esariti Landung , Putri Kharunia , Wahyono Hadi
Published: January 2021

Gender-based public transport planning ensures accommodation of user group preferences to minimize inequality and discrimination among passenger needs. In the practice of accessing BRT Corridor I in Semarang City, it was identified that there were 3 aspects that determined the gap, namely: security, comfort, and accessibility. Importance Performance Analysis is used to describe the level of access gap by comparing service performance provided with passenger expectations. Of 70 respondents answered, 53 women and 17 men, two findings can be concluded. First, it was found that the value of disparity in male and female user groups was equally negative (-) which meant that services received by users were less than expected, with greater levels of access gaps for female user groups compared to male user groups with the value of the gap in women is -0.67 and in men -0.52. This shows that the problem of inequality in the female user group is more urgent to be addressed to meet adequate transportation needs and minimize the access gap that occurs in the female user group. Second, the main priority needs for handling access gaps in the female user group include accessibility aspects and comfort aspects, while in the male user group only the accessibility aspect is concerned. The role and purpose of the movement conducted are two key factors in priority differentiation.

Authors: Savira Medina , Fahmi Fikri Zul
Published: January 2021

Local governments frequently use place branding strategies to enhance regional competitiveness. One example is the Municipality of Bandung that attempted to brand Cibadak Area as Bandung’s Chinatown. The process of communication of the brand is the most important process in the effort to place branding. It is expected that the process can construct a brand image that is in accordance with the expectation of the government. It is argued that the process of communication the brand can be explained by the production of space, as the spatial production that occurs is able to construct a brand image that is accepted by society. This study aims to determine the space production process that has implications for brand image in Cibadak Area. This study uses qualitative method analysis. Based on this research, it is identified that there is a difference between the citizens perspective and the plan which is imagined by the government. This matter shows that there is a difference between brand image received by the community and brand identity desired by the government.

Authors: Barrientos Felipa Pedro
Published: January 2021

La integración es una actividad constante de todo proceso comercial. La eliminación de las barreras comerciales entre los países permiten obtener provecho de sus ventajas comparativas y, así, fortalecer su posición en el comercio internacional. En esas circunstancias, se inscribe la relación de la carretera Interoceánica, integrada por Perú y Brasil. En ese sentido, el objetivo central de este documento es explicar la influencia de la carretera Interoceánica como parte de un proceso de integración económica, en el cual los grandes mercados tradicionales entran en un proceso de contracción y, por lo tanto, los países proveedores, con menor capacidad de negociación internacional, tienen que buscar mecanismos que les permitan obtener ventajas en dicho proceso. El artículo parte de los resultados de una investigación de carácter cualitativo, sustentada en la bibliografía de investigadores relacionados con los temas de integración económica y de la carretera Interoceánica.
Caenorhabditis elegansF-Box Protein Promotes Axon Regeneration by Inducing Degradation of the Mad Transcription Factor
Authors: Shimizu Tatsuhiro , Pastuhov Strahil I. , Hanafusa Hiroshi , Sakai Yoshiki , Todoroki Yasuko , Hisamoto Naoki , Matsumoto Kunihiro
Published: January 2021

InCaenorhabditis elegans, axon regeneration is activated by a signaling cascade through the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) SVH-2. Axonal injury inducessvh-2gene expression by degradation of the Mad-like transcription factor MDL-1. In this study, we identify thesvh-24/sdz-33gene encoding a protein containing F-box and F-box-associated domains as a regulator of axon regeneration in motor neurons. We find thatsdz-33is required for axon injury-inducedsvh-2expression. SDZ-33 targets MDL-1 for poly-ubiquitylation and degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SDZ-33 promotes axotomy-induced nuclear degradation of MDL-1, resulting in the activation ofsvh-2expression in animals. These results suggest that the F-box protein is required for RTK signaling in the control of axon regeneration.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTInCaenorhabditis elegans, axon regeneration is positively regulated by the growth factor SVH-1 and its receptor tyrosine kinase SVH-2. Expression of thesvh-2gene is induced by axonal injury via the Ets-like transcription factor ETS-4, whose transcriptional activity is inhibited by the Mad-like transcription factor MDL-1. Axon injury leads to the degradation of MDL-1, and this is linked to the activation of ETS-4 transcriptional activity. In this study, we identify thesdz-33gene encoding a protein containing an F-box domain as a regulator of axon regeneration. We demonstrate that MDL-1 is poly-ubiquitylated and degraded through the SDZ-33-mediated 26S proteasome pathway. These results reveal that an F-box protein promotes axon regeneration by degrading the Mad transcription factor.

Tamarind seeds carbon: Preparation and methane uptake
Authors: Munusamy K. , Somani Rajesh S. , Bajaj Hari C.
Published: January 2021

Tamarind seeds carbon (TSC) from tamarind (Tamarindus indica) seeds, an agro-byproduct and waste that is available abundantly in the southern states of India, was prepared by chemical activation with KOH. The influence of tamarind seeds char to KOH weight ratio (1:1 to 1:4) and activation temperature (400 to 800 °C) were investigated. TSC having micro-pore volume as high as 1.0 cm3/g with surface area 2673 m2/g was obtained. TSC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The potential of TSC to be used as a methane storage material was tested and compared with a commercial activated carbon. The highest methane adsorption capacity obtained for TSC was ca. 32.5 cm3/g at 30 °C and 1 bar. The maximum methane storage capacity achieved was 180 cm3/g at 30 °C and 35 bars.
Study of the bulk density of high consistency pulp and engineering application in the bleaching tower
Authors: Zeng Jin-Song , Chen Ke-Fu , Li Jun
Published: January 2021

From experimental simulation of the process of high consistency pulp moving in a bleaching tower, the aerated bulk density and packed bulk density were measured and studied by using a self-made experimental system. The scattered experimental data – pressure p, and bulk density difference, which was between packed bulk density and aerated bulk density (ρ-ρ0) – were fitted by using Matlab software, and some good-fitting regression curves and equations were obtained. The results showed there was a break point W in the regression curves; within the range 0 £ p £ W the relationship between (ρ-ρ0) and p was a linear function, while for W £ p £ 70000 the relationship was a power function. To effectively meet with the bleaching response for the different kinds and different consistencies of pulp in the tower, by using the fitting regression equations combined with the expressions of average bulk density and pressure in the tower caused by gravity-driven pulp, two equations for average packed density ρa were deduced with the aim of deciding the maximum volume value of the tower, in agreement with the sizes of the towers presently used by major companies.

A Fifth-Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation for Waves on the Surface of Finite-Depth Fluid
Authors: Sedletsky Yu.V.
Published: January 2021

We derive a high-order nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with fifth-order nonlinearity for the envelope of waves on the surface of a finite-depth irrotational, inviscid, and incompressible fluid over the flat bottom. This equation includes the fourth-order dispersion, cubic-quintic nonlinearity, and cubic nonlinear dispersion effects. The coefficients of this equation are given as functions of one dimensionless parameter kℎ, where k is the carrier wave number, and ℎ is the undisturbed fluid depth. These coefficients stay bounded in the infinite-depth limit.

Authors: Lysochenko S.V. , Zharkikh Yu.S. , Kukharenko O.G. , Tretiak O.V. , Tolmachov M.G.
Published: January 2021

The implantation of the high-energy ions of H+ or He+ in germanium leads to the creation of buried conductive channels in its bulk with equal concentrations of acceptor centers. These centers are the structure defects of the crystal lattice which arise in the course of deceleration of high-energy particles. This method of introducing electrically active defects is similar to the doping of semiconductors by acceptor-type impurities. It has been established that the density of defects increases with the implantation dose till ≈5×10^15 cm−2. The further increase of the implantation dose does not affect the level of doping. In the range of applied doses (10^12–6×10^16) cm−2, the Hall mobility of holes in the formed conducting channels is practically independent of the implanted dose and is about (2-3)×10^4 cm2/Vs at 77 K. The doping ofthe germanium by high-energy ions of H+ or He+ to obtain conducting regions with high hole mobility can be used in the microelectronics technology.

Authors: Santacruz Stalin
Published: January 2021

Mango has a short shelf-life after harvesting. The use of edible coatings on the elaboration of minimally processed mango is an alternative for its commercialization. In the present work edible coatings based on chitosan, starch-salicylic acid and starch-cinnamaldehyde-thymol were applied to fresh cut-mango. Weight loss, soluble solids, titratable acidity, color and microbiological analyses were studied along storage for 12 days at 8 °C and 90% relative humidity. Titratable acidity was the highest for mangoes coated with chitosan and the lowest was for starch-salicylic acid coating. Regarding instrumental texture, fruit coated with chitosan showed a higher penetration force compared to fruit coated with starch and uncoated samples. Microbiological results showed that all coated mangoes inhibited growing of fungi and yeast whereas uncoated samples showed an increase of both microorganisms along 12 days of storage period.

Published: January 2021

The delimitation of affected areas by low health index in crops is a useful tool that let farmers implement a differentiated rice-crop management. The objective of this research was to analyze and determine these areas in rice crops. For this purpose, health index maps were combined with RGB maps, digital elevation models (DEM), and tridimensional models to monitor this culture. The study was conducted in farms located in the regions of Tortí and Darién in Panama. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones with multispectral and RGB cameras were used to obtain orthomosaics (RGB, NIR). A specialized mapper software was used to generate the calibrated health map, and Google Earth and griYttium (mobile app) were used as crop visualization tools for farmers. The virtual tour above farm plot through visual and tridimensional models facilitated inspection of crop zones with difficult access. Map analysis allowed identifying areas with low health index, low plant density, weed problem, yellowing, competition with other crops and steep slopes. This information was presented to the producers through printed and digital reports with detailed information about the polygonal surfaces and the proportion of affected areas in crops and recommendations regarding areas for reseeding, land leveling, and corrections in pesticide/fertilizer applications. This tool led to saving agrochemical products since the applications can be made on precise sites.

Published: January 2021

Organic agriculture has been growing in recent years; however, one of the limitations in this area is the treatment of seeds with natural products and less aggressive to the environment. Seed biopriming with brown seaweed extract can be used to improve the physiological quality of seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of seed biopriming with Ascophyllum nodosum extracts (algae) on pepper and tomato seed quality. Pepper seeds of All Big and Alegria cultivars (cvs), and tomato seeds of Cereja and Rio Grande cvs were used. The extract concentrations were 0, 125, 250, and 375 ppm. A completely randomized design in a 2×4 factorial scheme was used. The variables analyzed were percentage germination; germination speed index; root and shoot length; and root and shoot dry weight. Sweet pepper biopriming at 125 ppm enhanced germination in 16.5% for All Big cv; but it did not benefit Alegria cv. A. nodosum as a biopriming provided an increase of 50% in root length growth in Alegria cv; although, it had a negative effect on the growth of pepper seedlings of the All Big cv at 375 ppm. Tomato seed biopriming with A. nodosum at 125 ppm, enhanced root and shoot growth by 38 and 31% of Cereja cv; Nevertheless, it did not provide higher levels of germination. For Rio Grande cv, shoot growth was benefited at 125 ppm, with approximately 1.04 cm larger than the control. The effect of Ascophyllum nodosum priming depended on its concentration and the cultivar given that, different responses were obtained, also due to the compounds of the extract.
Wearable nanocomposite kinesiology tape for distributed muscle engagement monitoring
Authors: Lin Yun-An , schraefel m. c. , Chiang Wei-Hung , Loh Kenneth J.
Published: January 2021

Sports coaches help athletes develop and improve their skills by assessing their ability to perform motion primitives that make up functional sports tasks. Sports coaching today is mostly done visually, which demands constant attention and can be imprecise. While sensors like electronic textiles and surface electromyography can measure muscle engagement, they are susceptible to movement artifacts and noise due to surface electrode issues. Therefore, the work reported here focuses on our development of self-adhesive, fabric-based sensors that can be directly affixed onto skin for monitoring skin-strains and distributed muscular engagement during functional movements. The vision is that these sensors can be readily used by sports coaches and individuals to better assess motion primitives and the execution of sports tasks. The approach integrates piezoresistive graphene nanosheet thin films with kinesiology tape (K-Tape). Because every location of the film is responsive to strains, electrodes can also be judiciously placed along the nanocomposite for distributed strain sensing. Nanocomposite or “Smart K-Tape” sensors were fabricated, and electromechanical tests were conducted to characterize their tensile, compressive, and cyclic sensing properties. Upon confirming their linearity, repeatability, stability, and high sensitivity, individuals wore Smart K-Tape sensors over different muscle groups as they performed prescribed exercise and stretching movements. The Smart K-Tapes outputted unique waveforms that revealed the speed and duration of muscular engagement through movement sequences. Furthermore, the region of muscular contraction could also be localized using each Smart K-Tape as a distributed strain sensor, which demonstrated promise as a convenient and quantitative motion primitive assessment tool relevant for sports coaching and athletic skills development.

“There’s always an option”
Authors: Cornillie Frederik , Buendgens-Kosten Judith , Sauro Shannon , Van der Veken Joeri
Published: January 2021

In the digital wilds, thriving storytelling practices (often in transcultural and multilingual contexts) share with Maker culture a belief in learning through doing, bricolage, collaboration, and playfulness. Key examples are fanfiction, a form of creative writing that transforms popular media in some way, and interactive fiction, a form of nonlinear narrative that verges on the world of gaming. This paper documents a pedagogical intervention carried out within the FanTALES project, which leverages creative writing and meaning-making practices from the digital wilds, in order to develop teaching and learning activities that engage secondary school learners in the writing of multilingual interactive fanfiction. Adolescent learners of English as a foreign language (N=21) wrote multilingual interactive fanfiction based on the digital game series Assassin’s Creed. Qualitative content analysis of focus groups with these learners suggests that they experienced intrinsic motivation and developed skills in language and storytelling as well as transversal competences. They also dealt with a lowered sense of autonomy due to the open-endedness of the tasks, and struggled with a lack of sufficient knowledge about storytelling practices and the source text, as well as with project management. Potential improvements for the pedagogical implementation include more scaffolding of the tasks, and better integration with curriculum and assessment.

The research method used is a qualitative method by recording Friday sermons from several types of mosques, namely the Great Ash Shalihin Mosque in Jayapura City, the Baiturrahim Mosque, Kotaraja, Skyland Complex, and the IAIN Fathul Muluku Jayapura Campus Mosque. This study found that the procedure for selecting khatibs in Jayapura City was coordinated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs except for Heram and Muara Tami Districts. Therefore, content is easier to coordinate. In general, preachers in Jayapura City prefer themes around issues of faith, jurisprudence, and morals. Besides that, the preacher also often chooses content related to events that are currently viral. Meanwhile, content related to religious moderation, including local wisdom, is still very minimal. Khatib tends to choose a religious theme or context that is safe from controversy because in Jayapura the majority is Christian. In addition, the preachers' and community's literacy is still lacking towards moderation material on religion and local wisdom. The control efforts undertaken by the Ministry of Religion over the implementation of the Friday sermon schedule in Jayapura City need to be increased by capturing all mosques. There needs to be a mapping related to the distribution of preachers, da'wah themes, the religious characteristics of community groups as objects of da'wah so that the preaching delivered does not impress provocative da'wah just because it differs in religious understanding.

ABSTRACT Objective: to map the epidemiological profile of children and adolescents with COVID-19 in the world literature. Methods: a scoping review systematized by the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol in the PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Science direct and Google Scholar databases. Articles with children and/or adolescents with laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 were used. Results: thirty-two articles were included in the review. Most children and adolescents were male, with contamination by family transmission. The most frequent clinical manifestations were fever, cough and diarrhea. Ten studies cited pre-existing condition/disease, and hospital length ranged from one to twenty days. Three deaths were reported and no study presented race/color, education and socioeconomic conditions. Conclusion: it was possible to screen the epidemiological profile with information about age group, sex, probable contamination of the disease, clinical manifestations, presence of pre-existing disease/condition, hospitalization and deaths among children and adolescents with COVID-19.

Abstract Strains of ‘Gala’ apples with highly red-colored skins have been planted in new orchards based on consumer interest and financial returns to the producers. The effect of somatic mutation may not be limited to change in fruit skin appearance. In this study, six ‘Gala’ strains were compared regarding fruit maturity and quality attributes at commercial harvest time and after 210 days in controlled atmosphere cold storage plus seven days shelf-life. Experimental orchards were established in three regions and fruit assessed over four seasons. The fruit skin red color area was highest in ‘Baigent’ and ‘Galaxy’, and lowest in ‘Royal Gala’ and ‘Imperial Gala’. Fruit of ‘Maxi Gala’ and ‘Gala Real’ had intermediate skin coloration among the six strains. There was no difference among the strains regarding the fruit weight, starch index, flesh firmness, soluble solid content (SSC), and titratable acidity (TA) at harvest, and flesh firmness, SSC and TA after storage. Fruit of the six ‘Gala’ strains were equally affected by physiological disorders (flesh browning, fruit cracking, calcium deficiency disorders and shrivel) and fungal diseases (external decay, core rot and Glomerella cingulata spot) during storage, indicating that they have similar storability. Only ‘Imperial Gala’ and ‘Royal Gala’ exhibited superficial scald, an unusual disorder for ‘Gala’ cultivar. Harvest management and potential economic impacts of highly red colored fruit of ‘Gala’ strains are discussed.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a variação anual e os efeitos do modo de variabilidade atmosférica El Niño (Canônico e Modoki) na Coluna Total de Ozônio (CTO) sobre o Nordeste Brasileiro (NEB) entre 1997 e 2018 utilizando dados dos sensores Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) e Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). Foi constatada uma variação mensal média em toda área estudada com comportamento típico de domínio do ciclo anual na variabilidade sazonal, apresenta valor mínimo no mês de maio e máximo em outubro. Observou-se uma tendência de decaimento na série dos valores médios durante o período analisado. Análises de agrupamento revelaram que diferentes regiões da NEB possuem comportamentos e valores médios de CTO diferenciados. Análise de ondeletas expôs ciclos de doze meses de duração atuando na CTO em toda área estudada, ciclos de seis meses, demonstrando que o ciclo semianual domina a variabilidade sazonal em menores latitudes, e ciclos de dois-três anos, representando a importante atuação da Oscilação Quase Bienal (OQB). As médias das anomalias mostram que eventos El Niño afetam a CTO causando, predominantemente, diminuição de seus valores. Esses eventos em modalidade Modoki tem maior potencial em afetar a CTO que os Canônicos com anomalias negativas de maior intensidade.

ABSTRACT: Due to their similarity to humans, studies regarding gastric ulcers in pigs have become of great interest. It is known that Helicobacter spp. is related to the occurrence of these ulcers, as they possess a high prevalence in pigs. This study aimed to associate gastric lesions findings naturally occurring in minipigs related to or not related to the presence of Helicobacter spp., through the ultra-rapid urease test and immunohistochemical analysis, reaffirming the disease in swine as a natural biomedical model for human cases. For this, samples of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded gastric tissues from 40 minipigs were obtained at the Laboratório de Morfologia e Patologia Animal (LMPA) in the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF). Regarding the ultra-rapid urease test, no animal was positive in all regions. However, 18 were positive in at least one: six (15%) were positive in the aglandular region, eight (20%) in the antrum region, 13 (32.5%) in the region of the cardiac gland, and one (2.5%) in the region of the fundic gland. Regarding immunohistochemical analysis, only one animal was positive in all regions, and 32 animals were positive in at least one: four (10%) were positive in the aglandular region, 10 (25%) in the antrum region, 23 (57.5%) in the region of the cardiac gland, and three (7.5%) in the region of the fundic gland. The gastric lesion findings showed a close relationship with Helicobacter spp., enriching the laboratory animal pathologies list. The immunostaining of the bacteria not associated with gastric lesions in certain regions demonstrated the saprophytic and opportunisitic nature of Helicobacter.
Gestão dos resíduos sólidos: o caso do consórcio de desenvolvimento sustentável do alto sertão na Bahia

Published: January 2021

Resumo Passando pela gestão ambiental compartilhada entre os entes federados, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a gestão dos resíduos sólidos domiciliares e os instrumentos de governança ambiental dos municípios que compõem um consórcio público no Semiárido Baiano. Para tanto, os dados foram coletados no Sistema Nacional de Informações sobre Saneamento (SNIS) e comparados com entrevistas realizadas com as Secretarias Municipais de Meio Ambiente, além informações levantadas in loco. Através da análise dos dados, é possível perceber que existe uma disparidade entre os dados do SNIS e os observados em campo. É perceptível ainda que nos municípios as iniciativas na gestão ambiental municipal ainda são incipientes, embora as determinações da Lei 12.305 já tenham mais de nove anos de vigência.

Resumen Las zonas costeras son espacios naturales con un alto potencial económico y turístico por su salida al mar; sin embargo, los municipios del Departamento de Córdoba ubicados en estos ecosistemas poseen una medición de desempeño financiero y administrativo bajo, debido a las dificultades que presentan para movilizar recursos propios y gestionar el ordenamiento territorial. En este sentido, se analiza la relación ciudad-ciudadano que se establece en los procesos de construcción urbana en dos municipios costeros del departamento desde el habitar como diagnóstico de las necesidades urbanas de estos lugares. Se abordó desde un enfoque mixto con diseño explicativo secuencial y se aplicó la encuesta de imaginarios urbanos con preguntas de naturaleza subjetiva sobre el sentir-pensar de la población en su territorio. Los resultados permiten afirmar que los nichos estéticos en ambos municipios están adecuados por sus habitantes entre lo que les gusta (playa-potencial turístico) y lo que les desagrada (déficit de infraestructura y servicios públicos) del lugar donde se encuentran arraigadas sus prácticas socioculturales, económicas y políticas. Teniendo en cuenta que los procesos de territorialización en esta región han sido lentos, se requiere de una gestión urbana tendiente a mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes en su entorno.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a inteligibilidade de fala e disartria, correlacionando com a avaliação funcional da ELA. Método Estudo quantitativo-descritivo aprovado pelo CEP, sob nº CAAE 62912416.4.0000.5404, constituído por 19 pessoas com ELA, esporádica ou familiar. Para coleta, aplicou-se o Protocolo de Disartria e Escala de Avaliação Funcional da Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica (ALSFRS-Re). Para análise, foi utilizada escala visual analógica para inteligibilidade de fala e medidas de resumo e correlação dos instrumentos pelo Coeficiente de Spearman com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados A inteligibilidade de fala está comprometida (41,37±39,73) em graus variados com correlação positiva com o grau geral de disartria (p=<,0001) e com todos os parâmetros de fala analisados, indicando impacto na deterioração da fala do grupo estudado. Há correlação negativa entre inteligibilidade de fala e resultados das seções bulbar – fala e deglutição (p=0,0166), braço – atividades com membro superior (p=0,0064) e perna – atividades com membro inferior (p=0,0391). Os parâmetros de respiração (p=0,0178), fonação (p=0,0334) e ressonância (p=0,0053) apresentaram correlação negativa com o item “fala” do ALSFRS-Re. Conclusão Os achados mostram prejuízo da inteligibilidade de fala e disartria e evidenciam respiração, fonação e ressonância como importantes marcadores da progressão da doença. Uma avaliação criteriosa e precoce da produção motora oral permite melhor gerenciamento das alterações na ELA.
