O processo de educação inclusiva vigente no Brasil à medida que se expande na educação básica consequentemente alcança o ensino superior. Este estudo objetiva investigar quais são as perspectivas de acesso e permanência dos estudantes com deficiência no Ensino Superior Brasileiro presente na literatura. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de acordo com as orientações propostas por Whittemore e Knafl (2005) de acordo com as etapas descritas por Toronto e Remington (2020), A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados on-line: Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Institute of Education Sciences-ERIC, com recorte temporal de 2016 a 2021, combinando os descritores: inclusão, ensino superior, acesso e permanência, com operadores booleanos AND e OR. Foram encontrados 1.445 estudos na busca inicial onde 226 artigos foram selecionados para a etapa de leitura dos títulos e resumos, e, destes, 20 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão integrando a análise qualitativa da pesquisa. Os dados foram sistematizados em três categorias: Políticas Públicas de Acesso e Permanência: (nacionais e institucionais); Dificuldades de acesso e permanência na perspectiva dos estudantes; Atuação Docente (Práticas Pedagógicas e Formação docente). Os achados destacam que o tema, apesar de incorporado por uma gama de políticas públicas e institucionais, ainda carece de ações que efetivem essas normas no cotidiano educacional das pessoas com deficiência. O compromisso de forma conjunta poderão assegurar o acesso e a permanência no ensino superior.

Published: April 2024

Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate the protection of civilians in areas under the control of armed groups. This is done through focusing on the protection challenges, violations of International Humanitarian Law, international efforts to protect civilians and the important issues from IHL Perspective. Background and Problem: Armed groups are increasingly becoming a threat as de facto they frequently maintain control over civilian populations. International humanitarian law stipulates that non-combatants in armed conflicts are subject to certain rights and protection. However, some armed organizations may break this law and cause suffering for residents in the regions they control. Methodology: The methodology applied entailed the extensive review of existing literature. Articles were explored in terms of their various approaches to the application of international law to the protection of civilians in areas controlled by armed groups. Results and Conclusions: In some cases, armed groups violate these regulations by targeting civilians through violent attacks, kidnapping, impeding civilians’ freedom of movement and other violent acts such as forced labor and sexual assault and abuse. They may also restrict their access to necessary services and aid. Consequently, the UN continues to advance efforts to protect civilians in areas controlled by armed groups. The IHL is against the displacement of civilians and ensuring access to civilians. Overall, the international community is consistently focused on ensuring that civilians in areas under the control of armed groups are adequately protected.

Published: December 2007

AbstractTricia Carmichael and co‐workers employ a simple, low‐cost method for the fabrication of patterned metal films on elastomeric poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates, as described on p. 59. The metal/PDMS composites are electrically conductive and mechanically flexible, making them suitable for use in the fabrication of lightweight, flexible devices such as wearable electronics, biocompatible sensors, and artificial nerves, skins, and muscles. Copper wires on PDMS remain conductive when subjected to linear strains of up to 52 %. The utility of these wires is demonstrated by using them as laminated top contacts in an organic light‐emitting device.

AbstractOn p. 200, Sergiy Minko and co‐workers report on the fabrication of a superhydrophobic coating from aqueous dispersions of hybrid responsive nanoparticles with no application of surfactants and organic solvents. A suspension of the particles forms a textured hydrophilic coating upon casting. Heating above the glass transition temperature of polystyrene, or treatment in acidic water, resulted in backward and forward switching between the superhydrophobic and the hydrophilic material, respectively.
A green process for preparing silver nanoparticles using spinning disk reactor

Published: December 2007

AbstractThe main theme of this research was to synthesize nanoparticles using green materials in a spinning disk reactor (SDR), which is a type of Higee equipment. The reducing agent and protecting agent were glucose and starch, respectively, either of which is an inexpensive and nontoxic material. Silver particles were prepared by continuously pumping two solutions, which were a mixture of AgNO3 aqueous solution containing protecting agent and another mixture of NaOH aqueous solution containing the reducing agent, into the chamber of the SDR, where a liquid–liquid reaction took place. The reaction time was less than 10 min, which was much shorter than the traditional methods. After washing and redispersing, silver particles of 10 nm or smaller were obtained, and the redispersed aqueous suspensions were stable for more than 40 days with or without the addition of a dispersing agent. A high‐gravity process that combines economic benefit with environmental benignancy was successfully developed to produce silver nanoparticles. © 2007 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2008
Gene copy number variation in schizophrenia
Authors: Sutrala Smitha R. , Norton Nadine , Williams Nigel M. , Buckland Paul R. 
Published: December 2007

AbstractRecent reports have highlighted the possibility that gene copy number variations play a role in the development of complex disorders and have suggested that some variations are very common in schizophrenic patients. We have carried out a comparative genomic hybridization screen using oligonucleotide probes of 891 candidate genes to look for very common copy number variance in schizophrenic patients. In addition we have developed a new approach for the detection and validation of putative copy number variation based upon established methods of allele quantification by DNA pooling and have used it to study 15 major candidates including dysbindin (DTNBP1), neuregulin (NRG1), RGS4 and DISC1. With the exception of positive control sequences, no copy number variations were found for any of the genes in any samples by the use of either technique. Our data for the genes studied are in line with the known existence and frequency of CNVs as reported by recent large scale studies and suggest that gene copy number variations are not more common in schizophrenics than controls, although large ethnic differences cannot be excluded. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: December 2007

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between polymorphisms in the PRODH and COMT genes and selected neurocognitive functions. Six SNPs in PRODH and two SNPs in COMT were genotyped in 167 first‐episode schizophrenic families who had been assessed by a set of 14 neuropsychological tests. Neuropsychological measures were selected as quantitative traits for association analysis. The haplotype of SNPs PRODH 1945T/C and PRODH 1852G/A was associated with impaired performance on the Tower of Hanoi, a problem‐solving task mainly reflecting planning capacity. There was no significant evidence for association with any other neuropsychological traits for other SNPs or haplotypes of paired SNPs in the two genes. This study takes previous findings of association between PRODH and schizophrenia further by associating variation within the gene with performance on a neurocognitive trait characteristic of the illness. It fails to confirm previous reports of an association between COMT and cognitive function. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

AbstractThere are conflicting reports suggesting that the parental origin of transmitted risk alleles may play a role in the etiology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A recent report by Hawi and colleagues observed a generalized paternal over‐transmission of alleles associated with ADHD. This was not replicated in more recent studies. Using data from a large multicenter study we examined the overall and gene‐specific parent of origin effect in 554 independent SNPs across 47 genes. Transmission disequilibrium and explicit parent of origin test were performed using PLINK. Overall parent of origin effect was tested by Chi‐square. There was no overall parent of origin effect in the IMAGE sample ($\chi _1^2 = 1.82$, P = 0.117). Five markers in three genes, DDC, TPH2, and SLC6A2 showed nominal association (P < 0.01) with ADHD combined subtype when restricted to maternal or paternal transmission only. Following the initial report by Hawi and co‐workers three studies, including this one, found no evidence to support an overall parent of origin effect for markers associated with ADHD. We cannot however, exclude gene‐specific parent of origin effect in the etiology ADHD. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: December 2007

AbstractThe division of obsessive‐compulsive symptoms (OCS) into specific factors is now widely accepted. However, the utility of these categories for genetic studies remains unclear, as studies examining their heritability have been inconsistent. Less attention has been paid to the possibility that clinically significant obsessionality is primarily determined by a “core” group of OCS that crosses the boundaries between symptom subgroups. The aim of this study is to determine whether such a core group exists, and to compare its heritability to that of the more traditionally derived symptom factors. We examined the properties and heritability of obsessive‐compulsive symptoms in college students, medical students, and obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) families using the Leyton Obsessional Inventory. In each of the three samples, we identified a core group of symptoms that comprised a single unique construct and accounted for over 90% of the variation of the four more traditional symptom factors. This core construct was highly correlated with OCD in our families and had a heritability estimate of 0.19 when OCD was not included as a covariate and 0.49 when OCD was included as a covariate. In contrast, the four symptom factors were not heritable. There appears to be an underlying unidimensional component to obsessionality, both in non‐clinical and clinical samples. This component, which is heritable, accounts for the majority of the variation of the more traditionally derived symptom factors in our sample, and is composed of OCS that are not specific to any of the symptom subgroups. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: December 2007

AbstractThe use of alcohol and tobacco is highly prevalent. Studying the rate of consumption in a non‐selected population could contribute to the elucidation of pathways involved in addiction or to the development of prevention programs. The San Antonio Family Heart Study has approximately 1,400 members with longitudinal data and did not select the proband with regard to exposure status. The goal of this study was to perform genome‐wide linkage analysis of the rate of alcohol and cigarette consumption in a “normal” population. We used SOLAR to perform variance‐components based analysis of the transformed maximal rate of consumption. Despite estimated heritabilities of 0.52 (P < 0.001) for cigarette and 0.39 (P < 0.001) for alcohol consumption, univariate linkage analyses produced only suggestive LOD scores, however the second suggestive linkage peak for the alcohol phenotype was present at 148 cM on chromosome 10, in the exact vicinity of the peak for the cigarette phenotype. In a bivariate analyses, the environmental correlation between alcohol and cigarette consumption was not significantly different from zero (ρe = −0.15, P = 0.18) and the overall genetic correlation was not different from zero (ρg = 0.16, P = 0.34). The results from the bivariate linkage analysis found a maximum LOD score of 3.82 (genome‐wide P = 0.0054) at 151 cM on chromosome 10, at the location of the overlapping peaks from the univariate analyses. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Variation in GABA‐A subunit gene copy number in an autistic patient with mosaic 4 p duplication (p12p16)
Authors: Kakinuma Hiroaki , Ozaki Mamoru , Sato Hitoshi , Takahashi Hiroaki 
Published: December 2007

AbstractAutism has been associated with chromosomal aberrations, including duplications at chromosome 4, and the identification of genetic factors contributing to the etiology of this disease is the focus of much research. Here we report a Japanese girl with mosaic of chromosome 4p duplication, mos 46,XX,dup(4)(p12p16)[54]/46,XX[6], who was diagnosed with autism at 3 years of age. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes covering the region spanning a cluster of the gamma aminobutyric acid A (GABA‐A) receptor subunit genes in the proximal short arm of chromosome 4 demonstrated total three signals for the GABRG1, GABRA4, and GABRA2 genes, but only two signals for GABRB1. This suggests that aberrant copy number of the GABA‐A receptor subunit genes may contribute to the etiology of autism in this patient. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: December 2007

AbstractWhile microarray studies are generating novel insights into the etiology of major psychiatric disorders, the validation of microarray‐identified candidate genes and their role in the causality of these disorders has been less often studied. We have previously demonstrated, by microarray, up‐regulation of SELENBP1 in the brain and blood of patients with schizophrenia. The main aim of the current study was to validate this finding using quantitative real‐time PCR (QPCR) in an independent brain cohort that included patients with bipolar disorder. Our sample consisted of mRNAs from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) of 34 schizophrenic patients, 33 bipolar disorder patients (including 20 with psychotic history), and 34 normal control subjects. QPCR was employed to assess gene expression changes, with C(T) values analyzed using an ANCOVA approach. The results demonstrated that SELENBP1 mRNA was upregulated in schizophrenic brains versus controls (P = 0.046) and, in addition, that SELENBP1 gene expression was strongly positively correlated with presence of psychosis across diagnoses (P < 0.001, increased by 12%). Based on these findings, we conclude that elevated SELENBP1 is a possibly consistent feature in the schizophrenic brain and that this finding could underlie some commonalities of psychosis across the boundaries of diagnoses. Future studies should exploit DNA‐based methods and molecular investigations on the role of SELENBP1 in order to gain insights into the nature of its influence on schizophrenia and psychotic symptoms. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
No association with the 5,10‐methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene and major depressive disorder: Results of the depression case control (DeCC) study and a meta‐analysis

AbstractUnipolar major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex disorder thought to result from multiple genes in combination with environmental and developmental components. The 5,10‐methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) has been implicated in MDD in a meta‐analysis of association studies and is within a linkage region suggested by a recent study of affected sib pairs. A single base mutation in the MTHFR gene (C677T) results in the production of a mildly dysfunctional thermolabile enzyme. The MTHFR 677TT genotype, and to a lesser extent the 677CT genotype, is associated with a significant elevation in the circulating concentrations of homocysteine and a decrease in serum folate concentrations. This may parallel a similar reduction in 5‐methyltetrahydrofolate in the CNS, leading to a potential reduction in monoamine neurotransmitter function and an elevated risk of depressive disorder. To test the hypothesis that the MTHFR C677T polymorphism is involved in the predisposition to MDD, we conducted an association study of 1,222 patients with recurrent MDD and 835 control subjects. This allows 99% power to detect an effect of the size reported in the study of Bjelland et al. 2003, however no significant differences in genotype or allele frequencies between depressive patients and controls were observed. This was the case in the sample as a whole, and when females and males were considered separately. Our findings suggest that the MTHFR C677T polymorphism is not involved in the etiology of clinically significant recurrent MDD. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
