Authors: Pagnez Karina Soledad Maldonado Molina 
Published: August 2016

Este texto apresenta um relato de experiência a respeito do processo de ensino e aprendizagem de alunos em um curso semipresencial para formação de professores que atuarão na área do Ensino de Ciências. Tem‐se como eixo a mediação pedagógica presente na implantação de uma disciplina que teve por objetivo promover a construção de conhecimentos da Educação Especial na perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva. A disciplina foi mediada por uma tríade dialógica formada por professor/autor, educador e tutor. O professor‐autor da disciplina foi o responsável pela produção do texto base, desenvolveu o desenho da disciplina, articulou as diferentes linguagens na mediação pedagógica e promoveu a interação por meio de videoaulas e artigos de apoio. Além da uma plataforma de aprendizagem da qual constavam atividades, chat e fóruns de discussão. O recorte do presente trabalho é a mediação professor/autor – educador e aluno na consolidação de conehcimentos a repseito da educação especial e da Libras(Língua Brasileira de Sinais). O educador desenvolvia as atividades presenciais aos sábados, além de acompanhar as discussões em ambiente virtual, para articular os conhecimentos adquiridos nas atividades da plataforma de aprendizagem, estimular a reflexão e o desenvolvimento teórico e prático nas atividades presenciais. Este foi o primeiro contato com a temática para 80% dos alunos, o preconceito e a discriminação que não eram reconhecidos pelos alunos tanto em si quanto na sociedade tornaram‐se evidentes no convívio com a disciplina e com a possibilidade de discussão e reflexão sobre as práticas.As dificuldades para a consolidação de novos te rmos e conceitos é perpassada por esses preconceitos socialmente construídos. Da experiência com essa disciplina dez alunos dos 54 optaram por realizar trabalhos de conclusao de curso na área com o objetivo de aprofundar conhecimentos e favorecer a atuação pedagógica. Considera‐se que a inclusão de disciplinas que abordem a temática da educação especial são fundamentais para a formação de professores nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento e para as diferentes disciplinas escolares.

A metodologia baseou‐se na pesquisa descritiva, contando com a amostra de seis idosos com deficiência, de ambos os sexos, com faixa etária entre 60 a 82 anos. Como instrumento de coleta de dados foi adaptado um roteiro de entrevista validado por Steglich (). A análise dos dados foi realizada quatitativamente. Os resultados revelaram que prática de atividade física regular produziu efeitos satisfatórios na auto‐estima e auto‐imagem em 80% dos idosos. Por meio das práticas físicas regulares, os idosos sentiram‐se mais otimistas e confiantes, melhorando a saúde, funcionalidade motora, ampliando as relações sociais e convívio em grupo, tornando‐se um processo terapêutico de restauração e qualidade de vida no ambiente de asilo.
ON THE WAY TO INCLUSION: THE VISION FROM THE ‘MATERNAL FAMILY’
Authors: Khanzeruk L. A. 
Published: August 2016

The present article covers the Ukrainian experience in one of the most complicated aspects of growing a child with the development disorder pertaining to such child's growing in the maternal family. It provides definition of the notion ‘maternal family’, contains contemporary statistical data on the number of such families in Ukraine. It shows the role of maternal family in securing legal protection for the children suffering from the development disorders, inclusive education, cooperation with international organisations and some other initiatives.On the basis of a brief analysis of cultural, historical, structural and functional particularities of the Ukrainian family as a social system, it provides substantiation for independent status and significant role of the woman at various stages of the Ukrainian society.It is also demonstrated in the article: active position of the mothers, promoting reorganisation of the educational system for children suffering from the development disorders, into the system functioning in accordance with democratic principles, is considerably supported within the framework of scientifically substantiated psychological and pedagogical resources developed by the well‐known academic schools of V. N. Sinyov and V.I. Bondar.This article supplements the publications prepared under the international scientific project ‘Human resources in poverty and disability: family perspective’, which enabled us to conduct a research into the growing resources associated with the maternal family of the child suffering from the development disorder, using Ukraine as an example.

Pathological Features of Fatal Crocodile Attacks in Northern Australia, 2005–2014
Authors: Sinton Terence J. , Byard Roger W. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractEleven deaths from crocodile attacks in the Northern Territory, Australia were reviewed. The male:female ratio was 8:3; age range—10–62 years, average 29.4 years. Four children were included (one boy and three girls, aged 10, 11, and two at 12 years), and there were seven aboriginal victims (64%). The attacks were witnessed in eight cases with the victims swimming in freshwater N = 5, standing on a river bank N = 1, fishing in fresh water N = 1, or diving in the sea N = 1. At autopsy, several distinct patterns of injury were observed ranging from complete traumatic disruption of the body with only incomplete remains for examination (N = 5), to crushing of the head with fractures of the skull (N = 4), crushing of the chest with fractures of the ribs and sternum (N = 2), and avulsion of limbs (N = 4). In one case, there was decapitation. Autopsy evaluations were complicated by decomposition and loss of body parts.
Facial Soft Tissue Depth Measurement: Validation of the 75‐Shormax
Authors: Stephan Carl N. , Guyomarc'h Pierre 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThe shorth and 75‐shormax were recently posited as an improved alternative to the arithmetic mean for describing facial soft tissue thicknesses in craniofacial identification. The shorth better estimates the data peak, while the 75‐shormax provides improved provisions for a long right tail. When first proposed, the 75‐shormax was subjectively gauged. Herein, shormax errors are calculated at every whole percentile to quantitatively determine zones of error minimization in two large samples: (a) CT data of French adults, n‐range = 211–469 individuals; and (b) all C‐Table data, n‐range = 60–1065 individuals [including part but not all of sample (a)]. The smallest residuals were found at the 79th percentile (mean of raw residuals) and the 74th percentile (mean of absolute residuals). The 75‐shormax is subsequently verified as good error minimizer since the absolute differences carry the greatest weight and the 74th percentile closely approximates the 75th percentile.
Toward an Alignment of Stormwater Flow and Urban Space
Authors: Ferguson Bruce K. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractUrban stormwater practices are individually diverse, but they are components of an overall urban watershed system. This study proposes a conceptual model of that system, including its component spatial areas, their arrangement along the flow route, and their associations with urban land uses and values. The model defines three spatial areas along the flow route which have evolved over time into their present forms: (1) the source area, which is arranged and furnished primarily or entirely for human use, accommodation, and comfort; (2) the perimeter area, where specialized stormwater facilities carry away source‐area runoff or buffer downstream areas from its impacts; and (3) the downstream area, which receives the discharges from the perimeter or directly from the source area. Each area presents a specific combination of stormwater features and human interactions, and excludes others. Considering stormwater flows and functions in the context of physical urban spaces brings into view the spaces’ urban structures and interacting agendas. This model allows practitioners to navigate conceptually through the system, and to focus appropriate objectives and structures on each project site.

AbstractThe recently developed environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has been used to estimate the distribution of aquatic vertebrates by using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a genetic marker. However, mtDNA markers have certain drawbacks such as variable copy number and maternal inheritance. In this study, we investigated the potential of using nuclear DNA (ncDNA) as a more reliable genetic marker for eDNA analysis by using common carp (Cyprinus carpio). We measured the copy numbers of cytochrome b (CytB) gene region of mtDNA and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region of ribosomal DNA of ncDNA in various carp tissues and then compared the detectability of these markers in eDNA samples. In the DNA extracted from the brain and gill tissues and intestinal contents, CytB was detected at 95.1 ± 10.7 (mean ± 1 standard error), 29.7 ± 1.59 and 24.0 ± 4.33 copies per cell, respectively, and ITS1 was detected at 1760 ± 343, 2880 ± 503 and 1910 ± 352 copies per cell, respectively. In the eDNA samples from mesocosm, pond and lake water, the copy numbers of ITS1 were about 160, 300 and 150 times higher than those of CytB, respectively. The minimum volume of pond water required for quantification was 33 and 100 mL for ITS1 and CytB, respectively. These results suggested that ITS1 is a more sensitive genetic marker for eDNA studies of C. carpio.
Population genetic inferences using immune gene SNPs mirror patterns inferred by microsatellites

Published: August 2016

AbstractSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are replacing microsatellites for population genetic analyses, but it is not apparent how many SNPs are needed or how well SNPs correlate with microsatellites. We used data from the gopher tortoise, Gopherus polyphemus—a species with small populations, to compare SNPs and microsatellites to estimate population genetic parameters. Specifically, we compared one SNP data set (16 tortoises from four populations sequenced at 17 901 SNPs) to two microsatellite data sets, a full data set of 101 tortoises and a partial data set of 16 tortoises previously genotyped at 10 microsatellites. For the full microsatellite data set, observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity and FST were correlated between SNPs and microsatellites; however, allelic richness was not. The same was true for the partial microsatellite data set, except that allelic richness, but not observed heterozygosity, was correlated. The number of clusters estimated by structure differed for each data set (SNPs = 2; partial microsatellite = 3; full microsatellite = 4). Principle component analyses (PCA) showed four clusters for all data sets. More than 800 SNPs were needed to correlate with allelic richness, observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity, but only 100 were needed for FST. The number of SNPs typically obtained from next‐generation sequencing (NGS) far exceeds the number needed to correlate with microsatellite parameter estimates. Our study illustrates that diversity, FST and PCA results from microsatellites can mirror those obtained with SNPs. These results may be generally applicable to small populations, a defining feature of endangered and threatened species, because theory predicts that genetic drift will tend to outweigh selection in small populations.

ObjectivesTo describe the clinicopathological features associated with increased risk of renal fossa recurrence (RFR) after radical nephrectomy (RN) and to describe the prognostic features associated with cancer‐specific survival (CSS) among patients with RFR treated with primary locally directed therapy, systemically directed therapy or expectant management.Patients and MethodsThe records of 2 502 patients treated with RN for unilateral, sporadic, localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) between 1970 and 2006 were reviewed. CSS after RFR was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Associations with the development of RFR and CSS after RFR were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models.ResultsA total of 33 (1.3%) patients developed isolated RFR (iRFR) and 30 (1.2%) patients developed RFR in the setting of synchronous metastases after RN (study cohort, N = 63). The median follow‐up for the series was 9.0 years after RN and 6.0 years after RFR diagnosis. On multivariable analysis, advanced pathological stage (pT2: hazard ratio [HR] 4.36, P = 0.004; pT3/4: HR 4.39, P = 0.003) and coagulative necrosis (HR 2.71, P = 0.006) were independently associated with increased risk of iRFR. The median time to recurrence was 1.5 years after RN among the 33 patients with iRFR, and 1.4 years among all patients. Overall, the median CSS was 2.5 years after diagnosis of iRFR, 1.3 years after RFR in the setting of synchronous metastases, and 2.2 years overall. After primary locally directed therapy (surgery, ablation or radiation), systemic therapy or expectant management, the 3‐year CSS rates among patients with iRFR were 63%, 50% and 13% (P = 0.001) and were 64%, 50% and 28% (P = 0.006) among all patients, respectively. On multivariable analysis, when compared with observation, locally directed therapies were associated with a significantly decreased risk of death from RCC (HR 0.26, P < 0.001).ConclusionsRenal fossa recurrence is a rare event after RN for RCC and portends a poor prognosis, even in the absence of synchronous metastases. Development of iRFR is associated with advanced stage and aggressive tumour biology. Patients who underwent primary locally directed therapy had superior CSS compared with those treated with expectant management, supporting the use of aggressive local treatment in carefully selected patients with RFR. Future research is needed to determine the optimum role and sequencing of combined therapy in patients with this rare entity.
Soil paludification andSphagnumbog initiation: the influence of indurated podzolic soil and fire
Authors: Schaffhauser Alice , Payette Serge , Garneau Michelle , Robert Élisabeth C. 
Published: August 2016

The initiation and growth of boreal peatlands developed on well‐drained, sandy landforms are closely associated with podzolic soil paludification processes. The origin ofSphagnumbogs extending on large deltaic plains was examined to test the hypothesis of the dual impact of indurated (ortstein) podzols and fire on forest soil paludification and concurrent peatland initiation and expansion. Mineral soil, basal organic matter and peat monoliths were sampled for soil and macrofossil analyses along an 800‐m toposequence starting from a mixed‐wood boreal forest to aSphagnumbog (Lebel bog, eastern Quebec, Canada), and ending at a peat dome in the thickest section of the peatland. Mineral soils along the toposequence are ortstein humo‐ferric podzols distributed in the forest environment and beneathSphagnumpeat in the bog, except at the peat dome. Initial peatland growth occurredc. 6000 cal. aBP. Soil paludification coincided with the cessation of fire occurrence as recorded in the organic and mineral layers precedingSphagnumexpansion. Unlike most temperate and boreal raised bogs, theSphagnumbog developed directly from a forest environment without passing through a transitional fen stage. Conifer forests regenerated successively after several fires between 4200 and 1600 cal. aBPbefore bog expansion. Pre‐bog forests were composed of fire‐prone black spruce (Picea mariana) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana) trees, and ericaceous species. Given the distribution and thickness of ortstein horizons progressively decreasing and disappearing towards the peatland dome, growth and expansion of theSphagnumbog was not caused by soil induration processes, which could have potentially impeded vertical and horizontal drainage. The development of indurated podzols outside and several hundred metres inside the peatland preceded the initiation and expansion of theSphagnumbog. Cessation of fire activity appears to be a key factor facilitating the lateral expansion of theSphagnumbog under wet soil conditions.

AbstractBackgroundEsophageal atresia (EA) is a rare malformation, which requires surgical treatment. Survival rates today reach 95%, but EA remains a significant cause of chronic morbidity with increased risk of psychosocial problems and impaired health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). No study of coping strategies of children with EA has been reported in the literature to date, but increased knowledge could lead to improved outcomes and better HRQOL.MethodsStandardized focus groups with children with EA and their parents were conducted to identify issues related to health care needs and HRQOL, with group members relating their coping experiences. Identified coping statements were content analysed using a card sorting procedure and descriptive statistics.ResultsThirty families (18 children 8–17 years; 32 parents of children with EA 2–17 years) participated in 10 focus groups. A total of 590 coping statements were recorded. Nine coping strategies were identified: problem solving (n = 116), avoidance (n = 95), recognizing responsibility (n = 71), confronting (n = 70), seeking social support (n = 63), positive reappraisal (n = 58), emotional expression (n = 46), acceptance (n = 40) and distancing (n = 31). Nine situational contexts were identified: nutritional intake (n = 227), communication of one's health condition (n = 78), self‐perception when experiencing troublesome symptoms (n = 59), appearance of body or scar(s) (n = 57), physical activities like sport and play (n = 43), sleep (n = 34), hospital care (n = 33), stigmatization and social exclusion (n = 30) and medication intake (n = 29).ConclusionsFocus group methodology contributed to an increased understanding of disease‐specific coping processes among children and adolescence with EA. Findings illustrate that they use several coping strategies, some of which they seem to adopt at early age and use in disease‐related contexts of physical, social and emotional character. Such coping may influence health and HRQOL in children with EA. In view of the importance of establishing good coping strategies early in life, health care professionals should integrate coping aspects into care management. Future studies are warranted.
“Where the Sidewalk Ends”: Sustainable Mobility in Atlanta's Cascade Community

Published: August 2016

AbstractRoughly one third of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are travel‐related, and much of these are from routine, short trips that can be controlled by individual consumers. Because of this, sustainability advocates encourage greater use of alternative transportation modes such as mass transit and non‐motorized transport to help limit carbon dioxide emissions. However, the efficacy of such prescriptions is contingent upon the social and physical context of a given place, that is, how these recommendations are received or put into practice by the intended audiences. This case study of Atlanta, Georgia's mostly African American Cascade community examines the influence of the broader social context of consumption as social practice and the built environment as factors influencing decisions about sustainable mobility (i.e., mass transit use and neighborhood walking), both inside and outside of Cascade. Not surprisingly, lower income residents routinely use mass transit, while middle‐ and upper‐income earners are reluctant users of Atlanta's mass transit system (MARTA). Lack of use by those with higher incomes is due mainly to the availability of personal automobiles and inefficiencies in system design attributable to a history of racial politics that restricts MARTA to just two of metropolitan Atlanta's twenty‐eight counties. Neighborhood walkability is encumbered by the lack of sidewalk space for higher income individuals and fear of crime for those with lower incomes. The social practice of status signaling via automobile purchasing may also inhibit African Americans’ use of mass transit. [Climate Change; African American Communities; Atlanta, GA]
