title: Effects of the Use of Assistive Technology Devices to Promote Independence in Daily Life Activities for a Child with Cerebral Palsy

description: ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation process of Assistive Technology resources to perform the feeding activity of a child with cerebral palsy. A five-year-old child with dystonic cerebral palsy and his mother were the participants. The target activities were feeding and intervention that occurred at their home. Data were collected by the following instruments: Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory; Gross Motor Function Classification System for Cerebral Palsy; Manual Abilities Classification System; script to characterize the participant; descriptive and event logging protocols; and a social validation questionnaire. Interventions were performed with three activities for feeding independence: sitting at the table, using the glass and the cutlery. The activities comprised the multiple baseline design between behaviors in four phases: baseline, intervention, maintenance and follow up. The sessions were recorded on video for analysis and help level scoring in the event protocol. Score of the help level in the protocol of events. It was evidenced that the use of Assistive Technology resources enhances the autonomy and independence of the child with cerebral palsy, demonstrating the effectiveness of the use of the resource, corroborating the literature.

title: Urethral injury in penile fracture: a narrative review

description: ABSTRACT Objective To present the evolution and the recent data on the etiology, diagnosis, management and outcomes of penile fracture (PF) with concomitant urethral injury. Materials and Methods We searched the Pubmed database between 1998 and 2019 using the following key words: “penile fracture”, “fracture of penis”, “trauma to penis”, “rupture of corpora cavernosa”, “urethral injury”, “urethral rupture” and “urethral reconstruction”. Results The incidence of urethral lesion in patients with PF varies by geographic region and etiology. Blood in the meatus, hematuria and voiding symptoms are highly indicative of urethral rupture. The diagnosis of PF is eminently clinical and complementary exams are not necessary. The treatment consists of urethral reconstruction and the most common complications found are urethral stenosis and urethrocutaneous fistula. Conclusion PF is an uncommon urological emergency, particularly in cases with urethral involvement. Urethral injury should be suspected in the presence of suggestive clinical signs, and diagnosis is usually clinical. Urgent urethral reconstruction is mandatory and produces satisfactory results with low levels of complications.

title: Influence of Weeds on Yacon Initial Growth and Development

description: ABSTRACT: The consumption of yacon has been increasing around the world due to the nutritional and pharmaceutical properties of this plant. The growing commercial interest in yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) generates a demand for crop management research studies, including the effect of weed competition on yacon, which was not yet studied. Thus, this study was performed with the objective of evaluating the effects of weed competition on yacon development and growth. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments and seven replicates. Treatments were yacon with the interference of four weed species: Cyperus rotundus L. (nutgrass), Commelina benghalensis L. (tropical spiderwort), Amaranthus viridis L. (slender amaranth) and Bidens pilosa L. (hairy beggarticks). The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using 10 dm3 pots. Plant height, number of leaves, number of stems, leaf area, fresh and dry mass weight (total and partial), and chlorophyll A, B and total were evaluated. The weed competition resulted in a decrease in the yacon development (height, number of leaves, number of stems, leaf area), photosynthetic rate (decreased chlorophyll content A, B and total) and yield, as also decreased the accumulation of fresh and dry biomass of tuberous roots. C. benghalensis L. and A. viridis L. were the weeds most affecting the development and growth of yacon.

title: Addition of hydrocolidics in gluten-free bread and replacement of rice flour for sweet potato flour

description: Abstract The objective was to elaborate gluten-free bread, using different hydrocolloids and to verify the effect of substitution of rice flour for sweet potato flour (SPF) on the technological and sensory quality of bread. Better results were observed with the use of 2% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), without significant difference (p &gt; 0.05) in the sensory evaluation of the samples containing hydrocolloids. Lower specific volume and higher hardness was observed with the addition of CMC and higher levels of SPF. The microbiological evaluation of bread made from the substitution of 25% rice flour for SPF allowed to establish shelf life of 7 days, with an acceptability index of 80.3%, which is considered high because it is a new product. Regarding the purchase intention, only 2% of assessors would certainly not buy the product, showing that the addition of hydrocolloids and SPF to gluten-free bread formulations may be an effective alternative for the gluten-intolerant public.

title: Characterization of volatiles in red- and white-fleshed loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) fruits by electronic nose and headspace solid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

description: Abstract Aroma differences are generally sensed in white- and red-fleshed loquats. Here, volatile compounds in four white- and three red-fleshed loquat varieties were investigated by headspace solid-phase microextraction and combined analysis of electronic nose (e-nose) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 83 volatile compounds were identified, and 33 were common in all of the cultivars. D-limonene, hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, octanal and nonanal were the most abundant volatile compounds. β-cyclocitral and β-ionone were only detected in red-fleshed varieties. Furthermore, Huayu Seedless 1 (triploid white-fleshed loquats) with low levels of terpenoid compounds detected by GC-MS were clearly differentiated from the other cultivars tested by principal component analysis (PCA), which was consistent with the e-nose results. PCA analysis showed that Huabai 1(white flesh cultivar)had a prominent volatile profile characterized by higher concentrations of C6 aldehydes and alcohols, (E)-2-hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenal and hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenol and hexanol. In comparison with red-fleshed loquats, white-fleshed loquats were characterized by high aldehydes content. These volatile compounds served to recognize and classify all of the analysed varieties.

title: Anti-obesity and hepatoprotective effects in obese rats fed diets supplemented with fruit purees

description: Abstract In this work, the effect of the intake of a low-fat diet supplemented with a fruit puree (guava-strawberry, guava-blackberry, guava-soursop or guava-passion fruit) by obese rats on reduction of body weight, lipid profile, and liver enzyme activity was evaluated. The rats (n=6 for each treatment) were induced to obesity with a high-fat diet for 4 weeks, then they were fed with a low-fat diet plus a fruit puree for 4 weeks. Healthy rats and obese rats fed with standard diet as controls were considered. The additional consumption of fruit purees was associated with a reduction in body weight (16-24%), a control in the metabolism of plasma lipids decreasing the levels of total cholesterol (59-68%) and triacylglycerols (61-82%). We found a significant reduction in inflammation markers and liver damage; enzyme activity (alanine aminotransaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase) decreased, and a notable improvement in liver morphology was observed. The consumption of fruit purees by obese individuals could contribute to the control of and improvement in the complications of obesity caused by alterations in lipoproteins.

title: Autism Spectrum Disorder and School Interactions: Classroom and Schoolyard

description: ABSTRACT: This study aimed at analyzing interactional episodes of children with autism in the classroom and schoolyard contexts, considering their peers and teachers. It is understood the relevance of school inclusion and specific social interactions that occur in these contexts from the neurodevelopmental, socio-communicative and behavioral characteristics of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In order to do that, eight filming sessions were held in two private schools, with four teachers, four children with autism and 42 children with typical development. The results were presented in quantitative terms, from the frequencies of interactional episodes; and qualitative terms, from the description of four case studies containing excerpts from the interactional episodes. In spite of the variations between the contexts, the complete interactional episodes were characterized by the use of objects and dyadic mediations directed by the teachers to the autistic children. On the interactions between the pairs, it is emphasized that these exchanges were more frequent during free activities in the context of the classroom. Finally, the role of the study of the interactional episodes for the processes of research, evaluation and intervention in the school area is emphasized.

title: The Field of Disability from the Perspective of the Teachers Enrolled in the Adapted Physical Activity and Disability Specialization Course of the IUACJ

description: ABSTRACT: The first edition of the specialization in adapted physical activity and disability is a milestone as it is the first graduate program with these characteristics in Uruguay. This implies in thinking the teacher training from different scenarios and populations. We set out to analyze the training and career path in the field of disability, as well as the inclusion and disability conceptions of eleven students who attend the graduate course. The data was collected through the semi-structured interview. Results show that only five teachers had previous formation in the area of disability and six of them had experience of working with people with disabilities. Everyone understands the importance of training to have the tools that will allow them to intervene in a better way in their practices. Conceptions of disability and inclusion often go through the medical and special education paradigm of rehabilitation, but, despite this, they present positive attitudes in relation to the challenge of working with the diversity of the students.

title: High Abilities/Giftedness: Social Skills Intervention with Students, Parents/Guardians and Teachers

description: ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to describe and compare the social skills, behavioral problems, and academic competence of students with High Abilities/Giftedness (HA/G): 1) according to their own account, before and after a program on social skills; and 2) according to the report of their parents/guardians and teachers, before and after guidance on HA/G and social skills. The participants were nine children from a public school, nine parents/guardians and eight teachers. The participants answered the Social Skills Rating System Questionnaire (SSRS) version for parents, teachers and students. The intervention with the students occurred in eight weekly meetings and the parents/guardians and teachers, in three fortnightly meetings. The results showed that the students’ social repertoire improved from their point of view, and their teachers and parents, probably due to the intervention procedure used, involving more than one segment.

title: Software mTEA: from Computer Design to Application by Professionals with Students with Autism

description: ABSTRACT: A viable way to systematize and customize the intervention in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may be through computational resources. Thus, the objective of this study was to prepare a digital environment called mTEA for application of behavioral teaching programs by discrete trial, based on the behavioral perspective, as well as to evaluate the use of mTEA, in relation to the elaboration and application of the activities conducted by two professionals with students with ASD. The participants were two professionals and five students with ASD. The procedure was organized as follows: development of the system; then, the two professionals elaborated and applied the activities with five students with ASD and answered a questionnaire about the use of mTEA. The results were analyzed in relation to the performance of students with ASD in the activities and to the use of the system by the professionals. The results identified that mTEA reached the objective to customize the activities in each student’s teaching curriculum, although it still lacks improvements to be implemented in the future.
