Symptoms generally begin in childhood or early adolescence, and rarely improve with age. The excessive localized sweating generally occurs either spontaneously, or in association with stressful or emotionally charged situations. This prospective study aimed to investigate predictive factors for compensatory hyperhidrosis after thoracoscopic sympathicotomy. From 2000 to 2002, 80 patients (53 female and 27 male) underwent hyperhidrosis surgery. The patients, ranging from 12 to 56 years old, were studied and followed-up for 42.51 ?5.98 months. A satisfaction grading using a visual analogue scale -VAS (0 = not at all satisfied, and 10 = fully satisfied) was used. The surgical procedure was performed bilaterally on the second ganglion (T2) for facial hyperhidrosis, on the third and fourth ganglia (T3 and T4) for axillary hyperhidrosis, and on the third ganglion (T3) for palmar hyperhidrosis. The results showed that, 68 patients (85%) presented with compensatory sweating (CS), which was classified as mild (33.8%), moderate (33.8%) and severe (32.4%). Considering the final surgical results, 70 patients (87.5%) were satisfied with the outcome of the operation, while 10 patients (12.5%) were dissatisfied. Degrees of satisfaction varied according to sex, age, BMI and extent of denervation. Moreover, the compensatory hyperhidrosis was more severe in abdomen and back than in legs. In conclusion, although CS is a frequent adverse effect of sympathicotomy, the degree of patient satisfaction was high. Some factors were related to the occurrence and severity of CS and the most adequate patients to be submitted to this operation are young adult women whose BMI is less than 24.9 / A hiperidrose prim?ria localizada ? um dist?rbio que atinge em algumas regi?es at? 4,6% da popula??o. Caracteriza-se por uma transpira??o em excesso, que vai al?m da necessidade de perda de calor corporal. Manifesta-se mais frequentemente nas m?os, face, axilas e p?s. Identifica de forma negativa o paciente no seu ?mbito familiar, profissional e psicol?gico, levando a uma queda na sua qualidade de vida. As pessoas acometidas limitam seu tempo despendido no ambiente do trabalho, em atividades sociais e recreativas, decorrente ao constrangimento. Muitas delas passam a ser reclusas e a ter problemas de conv?vio social, que pode culminar em fobia social. A simpatectomia tor?cica ? uma forma eficaz no tratamento da hiperidrose localizada. O trabalho visou investigar fatores preditivos para a hiperidrose compensat?ria ap?s a simpaticotomia tor?cica videoendosc?pica. Quanto ? metodologia, entre os anos de 2000 e 2002, 80 pacientes (53 mulheres e 27 homens) foram operados de hiperidrose e acompanhados durante 42,51 ? 5,98 meses, com idade variando de 12 a 56 anos. A satisfa??o destes pacientes quanto aos resultados do procedimento foi aferida por meio de uma escala de avalia??o. O procedimento foi executado bilateralmente no g?nglio T2 para a hiperidrose facial, nos g?nglios T3 e T4 para a hiperidrose axilar, e no g?nglio T3 para a hiperidrose palmar. De acordo com os dados obtidos, 68 pacientes (85%) apresentaram hiperidrose compensat?ria, que foi classificada como leve (33,85), moderada (33,8) e severa (32,4%). Quanto aos resultados da cirurgia, na avalia??o dos pacientes, 70 deles (87,5%) se consideraram satisfeitos, enquanto 10 pacientes (12,5%) disseram estar insatisfeitos. O grau de satisfa??o variou de acordo com o sexo, a idade, o IMC e a extens?o da opera??o. A hiperidrose compensat?ria foi mais intensa no abdome e dorso, comparando-se com as pernas. Em conclus?o, embora a hiperidrose compensat?ria seja um efeito adverso freq?ente ap?s a simpaticotomia, o grau de satisfa??o dos pacientes foi elevado. Alguns fatores foram relacionados ? ocorr?ncia e ? severidade deste problema. Pacientes mais adequados para essa opera??o devem ser mulheres adultas jovens com IMC inferior a 24,9. O car?ter multidisciplinar desse estudo fica atestado pela intera??o de profissionais de ?reas diversas como a epidemiologia, cirurgia geral, cirurgia experimental e cirurgia tor?cica

Esta dissertação é resultado de uma pesquisa com atingidos pela Usina Hidrelétrica Serra do Facão no sudeste de Goiás. Foram coletadas histórias de vida de moradores da zona rural de Goiás em dois momentos distintos. O primeiro em 2009, antes da instalação da barragem do rio São Marcos. O segundo momento das entrevistas foi pós o deslocamento compulsório, em 2012 e 2013, com a usina em funcionamento. Este intervalo entre as entrevista nos permitiu analisar o que foi planejado e o que foi efetivamente vivido por estes moradores do sertão goiano. Este empreendimento desapropriou 420 famílias, moradoras da zona rural em seis municípios: Catalão, Ipameri, Cristalina, Davinópolis, Campo Alegre de Goiás, em Goiás e Paracatu, no triângulo mineiro, Minas Gerais. Tomamos como recorte analítico as famílias remanescentes ou as famílias retornadas a terra, sendo assim, selecionamos seis histórias de vida que nos evidenciaram o que foi este processo de expulsão de suas terras de origem e as formas de reconstruir suas vidas agora não mais margeadas pelo rio. Os colaboradores foram mulheres e homens de distintas idades, todos moradores das beiras do rio São Marcos, localizados na zona rural do município de Campo Alegre de Goiás, que teve a maior área atingida e a maior quantidade de famílias desapropriadas. Por meio da História Oral, registarmos histórias de vida nas quais foram expostos os mecanismos de sobrevivência destes afogados. Transcriadas, as histórias de vida revelaram a complexidade deste cenário e demonstram a face perversa de expulsão do camponês de suas terras. Estes sujeitos tem outros conhecimentos para além do português letrado, que os permitiram reconfigurar a vida já tão dura pela lida na terra e pelos desmandos do estado. Revelou também que é preciso superar práticas autoritárias e de subordinação política na relação entre mediadores da barragem e camponeses, como uma das condições para uma nova retomada em suas vidas. / This dissertation is the result of a research about people affected by Serra do Facão Hydroelectric Dam at south-east Goiás. The histories of people who lived in the rural area were collected at two distinct times. First before the dams construction at São Marcos River in 2009. The second moment of interviews was after the mandatory move, in 2012 and 2013, with the power plant already producing. This time offset allowed us to analyze what had been planned and what the former residents of this area actually experienced. This venture expropriated 420 families living in the rural areas of six cities: Catalão, Ipameri, Cristalina, Davinópolis and Campo Alegre de Goiás in Goiás and Paracatu in Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais. As analytical approach taken cover the reminiscent families or families which returned to their land, so we selected six life stories what was this process of expulsion from their own land and ways of rebuilding their lives, now, no longer at the border of the river. The interviewed people were women and men of different ages, all residents of São Marcos river borders, in rural areas of the city of Campo Alegre de Goiás, the one with the largest affected area and dispossessed families as well. Through Oral History, we recorded their life stories in which the mechanisms of survival of those drowned were exposed. Transcreated, These guys have other knowledge beyond the literate Portuguese, which allowed them to reconfigure life already so hard for the land labor and government excesses. Also revealed that it is necessary to overcome authoritarian and political subordination in the relationship between mediators of the dam and peasants practices as a condition for a new resume in their lives.

A fim de contribuir com os estudos sobre essas técnicas, este trabalho apresenta um estudo experimental de uma trincheira de infiltração instalada na cidade de Recife / PE nos primeiros meses de vida útil. Foram avaliadas as funções de armazenamento de água no interior do sistema e a função de infiltração, através de modelagens analítica e numérica sobre o processo de recessão. O modelo de Bouwer (1969) foi adotado para a modelagem analítica de dez curvas de recessão com dados reais. Os parâmetros de resistências hidráulicas da base e das paredes apresentaram valores elevados, representando a formação de uma camada de colmatação na interface trincheira de infiltração - solo natural. O Hydrus 2D foi utilizado para modelar numericamente doze curvas de recessões com dados artificiais, a fim de parametrizar o comportamento de trincheiras de infiltração quando implantadas em solos de diferentes classificações texturais. A modelagem mostrou melhor desempenho hidráulico da trincheira de infiltração instalada em solos de composição arenosa. Por fim, para as curvas de recessão artificiais, foi avaliada a relação entre os parâmetros obtidos analiticamente - resistências hidráulicas, e numericamente - curva de retenção e condutividade hidráulica, e os resultados mostraram que não é possível relacionar os parâmetros obtidos analiticamente com os parâmetros clássicos hidrodinâmicos obtidos numericamente. / Compensatory techniques are implemented for the purpose of recovering the natural mechanisms flow, decrease the downstream flow and maximize the flow control at the source. In order to contribute to the studies on these techniques, this paper presents an experimental study of an installed infiltration trench in Recife / PE in the first months of life. They evaluated the water storage functions within the system and infiltration function, by analytical and numerical modeling of the recession process. The model Bouwer (1969) was adopted for the analytical modeling ten recession curves with real data. The parameters of hydraulic resistances of the base and the walls showed high values, representing the formation of a fouling layer infiltration trench interface - natural soil. 2D Hydrus numerically modeling was used to twelve curves recessions with artificial data, in order to parameterize the behavior of infiltration trenches when implemented in different soil conditions ratings. The modeling showed better hydraulic performance of the installed infiltration trench in sandy soil composition. Finally, for the artificial recession curves, it evaluated the relationship between parameters obtained analytically - hydraulic resistances, and numerically - retention curve and hydraulic conductivity, and the results showed that it is not possible to relate the parameters obtained analytically with the classic parameters hydrodynamic obtained numerically.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to prove, that compensatory exercise affects positively locomotor system of SK Benešov U16 football players. Theoretical part of this theses analyses all existing sources and literature from the field of compensatory exercises, muscle imbalance and body posture. Main research-method used in this thesis is an experiment. I choosed football players from the younger adolescents footballers category U16 and U17 of the team SK Benešov. Football players from group U16 are the experimental group, while the others from U17 are the controlling group. To test the locomotor system I have chosen testing methods for unstreched and weakened muscles invented by Janda, Kabelíková and Vávrová. To test the body posture I used Matthias's test. Suitable compensatory programme was created for the players, with regard to entrance testing, which they had to apply for six months.In the middle of the testing period a control testing was conducted, to help to evaluate the correctness of the chosen exercises. After the evaluation of the final testing a conclusion was drawn, that the compensatory exercises do have a positive impact on locomotive system and body posture of football players U16. KEYWORDS Balance tools, body posture, football, compensatory exercise, muscle imbalance, injuries.

The shortage of manpower in South Africa with technological skills is a widespread problem. Technikons are under extreme pressure to develop these skills in the student population. Admission statistics at Technikon Natal show a marked increase in ESL students enrolling in a wide variety of national diploma courses. The inadequate education received by the majority of ESL students in South Africa has not prepared them for the demands of tertiary education. As English is the medium of instruction at Technikon Natal, underdeveloped language skills tend to hinder the students' progress. Technikon Natal is currently considering an Educational Development Strategy designed to assist students. In order for a response to perceived language-related problems to be meaningful, a survey of such issues was considered a practical starting point to establish that these issues were in fact problematic. The survey was intended to probe certain perceptions held by students and staff regarding attitudes, which might have been preconceived. It also provided clarification that some of these perceptions are inaccurate, and in some cases, incorrect. In addition to this, it established that there is considerable support among students and staff for departmentally-integrated support programmes. In terms of Technikon Natal's present position on an ESL educational development continuum, the findings indicate that much benefit could be derived from the research carried out in other tertiary institutions with regard to academic support programmes. Areas in which there was a considerable disparity of views held were identified and commented upon. In conclusion, it was felt that attention should be focussed on the following: recognition of the need for an integrated ESL programme; departmental reinforcement of academic skills; decentralisation of the ASP programme. The survey concludes with a brief comment on current developments in response to ESL needs at Technikon Natal.

L'objectif de cette recherche était d’étudier l’activité collective dans les classes de collèges ÉCLAIR en EPS lors d'un dispositif de travail par ateliers en gymnastique avec des enseignants "réussissants". Dans ces classes, une des difficultés majeures pour les enseignants est la mise au travail durable des élèves. Au cours de la leçon, l’activité collective est particulièrement instable en raison d'une activité des élèves marquée par de nombreux décrochages, un refus de travailler, une agitation continue pouvant aller jusqu’à la violence. Toutefois, certains enseignants "réussissants" parviennent à faire travailler le collectif d’élèves de façon relativement durable au cours de la leçon. Cette recherche a donc analysé le travail collectif dans les classes avec ces enseignants pour identifier sa forme typique et comprendre les processus à partir desquels il se construisait. Elle a été conduite dans le cadre théorique et méthodologique du Cours d’action, permettant d’appréhender l'activité collective à partir d'une entrée par l’activité et le sens pour les acteurs. Les études de cas se sont déroulées dans des collèges ÉCLAIR de la banlieue lilloise, en EPS, lors de 27 leçons de gymnastique par ateliers. Sept enseignants "réussissants" et 37 élèves ont été filmés puis amenés à exprimer leur expérience vécue en classe lors d'entretiens d’autoconfrontation. L’activité collective a été renseignée à deux niveaux d’analyse autonomes et interdépendants : d’une part, celui de l’activité individuelle-sociale de l’enseignant et des élèves par croisement des matériaux relatifs à la description des comportements observés en classe et ceux relatifs aux verbatim d’entretien ; et d’autre part au niveau de la configuration de l’activité de la classe en repérant les points d'articulation entre l'activité de l'enseignant et celle des élèves et en identifiant la forme de l’activité collective qui en émerge. Les résultats montrent que malgré une constante agitation dans les ateliers de gymnastique, une activité collective de travail domine dans la classe sans qu’une perturbation majeure vienne rompre les leçons étudiées. Premièrement, l'analyse de l’activité individuelle-sociale a fait ressortir deux traits typiques : une forme bipolaire organisée par la dyade « travail – jeu » pour les élèves et par la dyade « instruction – contrôle » pour l’enseignant. Deuxièmement, la configuration d’activité collective en classe a une forme studieuse typique : elle repose sur des processus d'ostension et de masquage permettant l'articulation des activités de l'enseignant et des élèves dans la classe. Les conclusions de cette étude permettent de répondre à des visées épistémiques concernant la compréhension de l'activité collective et de sa construction, ainsi que des visées transformatives apportant des éclairages sur les pratiques d’apprentissage et d’enseignement dans les classes issues de milieux « difficiles ». / The objective of this research was to study collective activity in gymnastics workshops taught by “successful” physical education teachers in middle schools benefiting from compensatory education policies (ÉCLAIR). One of the major difficulties for teachers in these classes is to obtain sustained effort from the students. Group work is particularly unstable during lessons because the students’ individual activity is characterized by frequent disengagement, refusal to work, and continuous agitation that may take a violent turn. Certain teachers nevertheless succeed in getting their students to work in a relatively durable manner over the course of the lesson. This work thus analyzed the collective activity in classes with these teachers to identify its typical form and to understand the processes by which it was constructed. The theoretical and methodological framework for this research was the course of action, which is well suited to the study of collective activity as it specifically targets activity and the meaning it has for the actors. The case studies were conducted in middle schools in the Lille region, both part of the ÉCLAIR program, during 27 physical education classes organized as gymnastics workshops. Seven “successful” teachers and 37 students were filmed and then asked to describe their lived experiences in the classroom during self-confrontation interviews. The group activity was analyzed from two autonomous and interdependent perspectives: first, we analyzed the individual-social activity of the teachers and students by crossing the descriptive data on the behaviors observed in class with the verbatim data from the self-confrontation interviews and, second, we analyzed the configuration of the classroom activity by identifying the points of articulation between the teacher’s and students’ activity and then identifying the form of collective activity that emerged. The results showed that, despite constant agitation, the collective activity in these workshops was dominated by group work with no major disruptions in the lessons. The analysis of individual-social activity revealed two typical forms: a bipolar form organized by the "work-play" dyad for the students and by the "instruction-control" dyad for the teacher. The configuration of classroom activity also showed a form typical to classroom situations: it was based on processes of revealing and masking that made the articulation of teachers’ and students’ activities possible. The findings of this research enhance our understanding of collective activity and how it is constructed and provide greater insight into the learning practices of students from “difficult” backgrounds and the teaching practices of teachers who operate successfully in these classrooms.

[pt] Famílias de baixa renda representam aproximadamente 53 por cento da população brasileira e vivenciam situações econômicas e sociais distintas às vivenciadas por classes mais abastadas. Seu comportamento de consumo vem ganhando mais atenção da academia e do meio empresarial. Para examinar como pessoas de diferentes extratos sociais percebem a atividade de compra, atribuindo-lhe maior ou menor valor hedônico, conduziu-se um survey a uma amostra não probabilística, composta por consumidores de baixa e de alta renda. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que há diferença, entre consumidores de baixa e alta renda, quanto ao valor hedônico atribuído à atividade de compra. / [en] Low income families represent approximately 53 per cent of the Brazilian population and experience different social and economic situations compared with higher social classes. The consumption behavior of this segment is gaining more attention from academia and in the business environment. In order to examine how different income people assign more or less hedonic value to the shopping activity, a survey was conducted on a non-probabilistic sample of low and high income consumers. Results suggest that there are differences in relation to the hedonic value attributed to shopping activity by low-and high-income consumers.

Title: The influence of sports aerobics on posture and muscle balance Aim: The aim of the thesis is to find out how aerobic gymnastics (sport aerobics) at the top level affects selected groups of muscles and posture of girls with more than 10 years of competing experience. The thesis compares the results of a group practicing aerobics with the results of a group of girls of the same age category, who engage in physical activities only during school physical education lessons. Characteristics: The diploma thesis deals with the effect of aerobic gymnastics on good posture. The basis for this thesis was obtained by testing selected shortened and weakend muscle groups. Two groups of girls were compared. The first group consisted of girls representing the Czech Republic at international championships and practicing aerobic gymnastics at the highest level for more than ten years. On the other hand, the second group consisted of subjects, who were engaged in physical activities only in physical education lessons in school. Methods: In the thesis there was used a qualitative research and delibarate selection of subjects. Selected tests evaluated posture according to Matthias according to Haladová, Nechvátalová (1997), with the help of lowered plumb line according to Kopecký (2010) and test exercises for...

In the thesis I ethnographically study the process of interconnecting and mutual influencing of human and non-human entities in case of the visually impaired persons and the compensation devices based on computer technology. I examine this process, which I call "the technification of blindness", in symmetrical terms. The main theoretical inspiration for the study is the interplay of technology and the health-inconvenienced body and its consequences which are based on the Actor-Network Theory and related material-semiotic tools of social-science research. My aim is to analyse processes which enable/not allow to manage everyday activities to visually impaired persons in the Czech Republic, while they are using computer technologies and their relation with wider processes of accessibility. I trace mutual influencing of human and non-human entities on a specific configuration of visually disabled body with specifically modified personal computer, and with a touch-screen smart-phone. The study shows how the specific form of portable electronic and computer-based devices, which are specially adapted to seeing users, is what excludes blind and visually impaired persons from the interaction with computer technology. Such a cooperation and visual orientation of blind persons is allowed only thanks to...
