19 Jan 2021TL;DR: In this article, a reception study was conducted to understand the interpretation ways of gender relations by 24 dominant class women in different generations according to the primetime telenovelas, in the Brazilian context.
Abstract: The aim of this reception study is to understand the interpretation ways of gender relations by 24 dominant class women in different generations according to the primetime telenovelas, in the Brazilian context. The study questions were formulated based on love and sexual relationships, present both in the content aired and in the informers appropriations. From the Mediations Theory by Martin-Barbero, we analyzed the telenovela readings by the female audience from their experiences (sociability). The results show that most of the interviewees contest against traditional gender roles but have difficulty to admit the modern behaviors for themselves because they cannot perform them.

TL;DR: It was found that in general students understand the concept of healthy eating satisfactorily, however a portion of students does not reflect this perception in practice, with low fruit intake and high consumption of sweets.
Abstract: The study aimed to address the importance of healthy eating with children in the early grades of a public school in the city of Dois Vizinhos-PR. The activity was initially carried out with the application of a questionnaire seeking to analyze the students' prior knowledge and, afterwards, a lecture on food, exposing with the aid of the food pyramid the variety and quantity that should be ingested for each type of food. Soon after, educational videos were shown, and recreational activities were applied in order to promote the perception of the importance of consuming nutritious foods for a good quality of life. Through the results it was found that in general students understand the concept of healthy eating satisfactorily, however a portion of students does not reflect this perception in practice, with low fruit intake and high consumption of sweets. It is important to guide children to the practice of healthy eating, and playful activities can be a good instrument for addressing the topic with elementary school students.

17 Dec 2019TL;DR: Os sinais e sintomas apresentados podem interferir na qualidade of vida dos pacientes, e de extrema importância o cirurgiao-dentista estar atento as manifestacoes, a fim of orientar e motivar os pacients com o intuito de diminuir os fatores de risco.
Abstract: Introducao: A esclerodermia e uma desordem pertencente a um grupo de doencas autoimunes do tecido conjuntivo, caracterizada por esclerose na pele, pulmoes, coracao, trato gastrointestinal, rins e sistema musculoesqueletico. Das manifestacoes orais e periorais, sao evidentes aumento do espaco do ligamento periodontal, limitacao da funcao mastigatoria, dificuldade no processo de reparo, fibrose da pele, diminuicao da abertura bucal, xerostomia, carie, entre outros. Em virtude das alteracoes na microcirculacao dos tecidos gengivais e dos medicamentos sistemicos, pode haver inflamacao gengival e desenvolvimento de hiperplasia gengival. A xerostomia e as alteracoes escleroticas das maos e dedos contribuem para um maior acumulo de placa nesses pacientes. Objetivo: Relatar o caso clinico de uma paciente portadora de esclerodermia sistemica (ES) e a associacao dessa doenca com as manifestacoes orais e periodontais. Relato de caso: Paciente A.M.S., 47 anos, sexo feminino, diagnosticada com ES ha 16 anos, apresentou em associacao a doenca sistemica diferentes manifestacoes orais e periodontais, como aumento do espaco do ligamento periodontal, diminuicao da abertura bucal, limitacao da funcao mastigatoria, dificuldade no processo de reparo, fibrose da pele, xerostomia, carie, sangramento gengival, presenca de calculo dental e mobilidade dentaria. Conclusao: Os sinais e sintomas apresentados podem interferir na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Portanto, e de extrema importância o cirurgiao-dentista estar atento as manifestacoes, a fim de orientar e motivar os pacientes com o intuito de diminuir os fatores de risco, proporcionar um tratamento apropriado ou ate mesmo realizar um possivel diagnostico da doenca.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated changes in the quality of life after 8-week of aquatic exercises in post-stroke individuals, using the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS).
Abstract: Background Aquatic exercises are among the treatments available to improve the quality of life after stroke. Objectives To investigate changes in the quality of life after 8-week of aquatic exercises in post-stroke individuals. Methods A case series study was designed, including four male participants. Exclusive aquatic exercise was performed for 8-week, 50 minutes per session, 2×/week. Their quality of life was evaluated before and after the intervention using the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS). Results Participant 1 improved in the mobility domain, achieving a Clinically Important Difference (CID). Participant 2 improved in the strength and mobility domain, achieving CID; his stroke recovery was 6 %, and it reached 50 %post-intervention. Participant 3 improved in the mobility domain, achieving a CID and a Minimal Detectable Change (MDC); his stroke recovery increased from 45 to 60 %post-intervention. Participant 4 improved the strength, mobility, and activities of daily living domains, achieving a CID and a MDC, but his stroke recovery remained unchanged at 80 %. Conclusions All participants achieved a CID in the mobility domain; thus, the aquatic exercise intervention was considered meaningful. Moreover, the SIS is able to evaluate aspects of the recovery process regarding health-related quality of life after stroke, as demonstrated by the results of the overall recovery after aquatic exercises.
