O espaço escolar, em especial os docentes, têm dificuldade em lidar com esses alunos. Atualmente se sabe que se trata de um transtorno do desenvolvimento do autocontrole que afeta a atenção, o controle de impulsos e o nível de atividade. Assim, considerando que a aula prática, ao utilizar uma didática multissensorial envolvendo o uso de dois ou mais sentidos, promove a necessidade de organização e atenção por parte do aluno, pois é necessário ouvir instruções, manipular objetos e informações e verificar resultados, desenvolveu-se o trabalho aqui apresentado, objetivando investigar como as aulas práticas de Ciências podem influenciar no aprendizado de alunos com TDAH. Com o propósito de alcançar esse objetivo, foi necessário desenvolver as seguintes ações paralelas: analisar o comportamento do aluno nas aulas teóricas; caracterizar o comportamento do aluno nas aulas teóricas; analisar o comportamento do aluno nas aulas práticas; caracterizar o comportamento do aluno nas aulas práticas; e identificar como as atividades influenciaram no comportamento do aluno, distinguindo suas possíveis diferenças. Dado o objetivo da pesquisa, o estudo investigativo foi desenvolvido em uma escola municipal de Ensino Fundamental da cidade do Rio Grande, tendo como objeto de pesquisa um aluno de nove anos, diagnosticado com TDAH, inserido no 4º ano (antiga 3ª série), caracterizando um estudo de caso. A coleta de dados envolveu observações estruturadas através da utilização de uma planilha de análise construída a partir de elementos comportamentais a serem observados, havendo o planejamento e a organização prévia de uma lista de ações que se espera observar no local. Com a intenção de ampliar as possibilidades interpretativas, as aulas teóricas e práticas de Ciências foram filmadas. Ao total, foram observadas cinco aulas teóricas e sete aulas práticas, perfazendo dez horas de aula teórica e 12 horas de aula prática, somando 12 observações em sala de aula e totalizando 22 horas. A análise dos dados gerados permite concluir que as aulas práticas em ciências, ao promover um maior envolvimento do aluno observado nas tarefas propostas, podem contribuir positivamente para seu aprendizado. Já as aulas teóricas oportunizaram comportamentos hiperativos, desatentos e impulsivos, influenciando negativamente as situações de aprendizagem. Os achados oferecem suporte, não só à professora responsável pela turma na qual o aluno está inserido, mas também aos demais professores envolvidos na educação do aluno em questão, para que repensem suas metodologias. Ainda que os resultados não sejam passíveis de generalização, outra contribuição emerge da pesquisa à medida que oferece subsídios para que demais professores busquem, nas aulas práticas, uma alternativa para lidar com as especificidades de alunos portadores de TDAH, otimizando o processo de inclusão. Numa visão mais ampla, os achados podem colaborar para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas na área da educação em Ciências que tenham como ponto de interesse o TDAH. / Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are not unable to learn, but yet face difficulties at school due to the lack of organization and attention, and in addition to that, impulsivity. There is difficulty on dealing with those students within the school environment, particularly by the teachers. Nowadays, ADHD is known as a self-control development disorder affecting attention, impulse control and level of activity. In this perspective, considering that the classroom practice by applying a multisensory didactic, which involves the use of one or more of the senses, promotes a need of organization and attention by the student because it is necessary to listen to instructions, to handle objects and information and assess results. The present work has arisen from that, whose objective is to investigate how the science classroom practices can influence on the learning of ADHD students. In order to achieve that objective, it was necessary to develop the following parallel actions: to analyze the student behavior during theoretical classes; to characterize the student behavior during theoretical and practice classes; to characterize the student behavior in practice classes as well as identify how the activities have influenced behavior, distinguishing the possible differences. In view of the research aim, the investigative study was developed in an elementary school of the Rio Grande city public school system. The focus of the research was a 9 year-old student, diagnosed with ADHD, studying in the 4th grade (3rd grade in the old system), characterizing a case study. The data collection involved remarks based on the use of an analysis chart made up from behavioral elements to be observed, counting with a previous planning and organization of a list of actions that are expected to be observed in the place. With the intention of broadening the explanatory possibilities, the theoretical and practice science classes were recorded. A total of 5 theoretical and 7 practice classes were observed, making up 10 hours of theoretical classes and 12 hours of practice classes, totalizing 12 in-class observations, counting 22 hours. The data analysis created enables to deduce that the science practice class, by promoting a larger involvement of the observed student in the proposed tasks, can contribute positively to the learning. As to the theoretical classes, they have enabled hyperactive, inattentive and impulsive behaviors, negatively influencing learning situations. The findings offered support for a thinking over on methodologies, not only to the teacher in charge of the group where the student is, but also to other teachers involved in the learning of the observed student. Regardless the fact that the results are capable of generalization, another research contribution comes out, to the extent to which, during practice classes, it offers subsides to other teachers to seek for an alternative to deal with the particularities of ADHD students, thus optimizing the inclusion process. From a broader perspective, the findings can help for the development of researches in the science teaching field and which have as point of interest the ADHD.

<p>Public health infrastructure (PHI) serves as the core foundation for essential public health and its services. However, the U.S. PHI has been weakened by understaffing, underfunding, limited resources and partnerships, and outdated data and information systems over the past few decades. The recent COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated its vulnerability and weakened nature, resulting in increased health disparities and worse health outcomes in general for the nation. The goal of this study was to identify elements of local PHI that are associated with the completion of 20 key public health activities while adjusting for state differences. Cross-sectional secondary data were acquired and linked from two national surveys of local health departments, the National Profile of Local Health Departments survey and the National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems. In total, 20 multivariable logistic regression models were created to analyze the relationships between variables. State fixed effects were used in multivariable models to control for state differences. It was found that state differences affected the correlations of infrastructure variables. Several staffing elements, abilities to provide certain services, and participation in certain types of actions were strongly correlated with the completion of best practice activities. These findings will add to the discussion of what the minimum necessary elements of PHI may be.</p>

Aim: The aim of diploma thesis was clinical utility of the Czech version of Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in both parts. Utility in performance of activities of daily living and utility in satisfaction with performance of activities of daily living for physically disabled adults persons. Methods: The pre-research consisted of 40 persons with physical disability after stroke. For data collection was used Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Barthel index and Subjective QUAlity of Life Analysis (SQUALA). Hypotheses were vitrificated by correlation analysis using Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient. Results: P-value (p = 0,00001) from the test of dependence of measured values by COPM in performance of activities of daily living and BI was lower than level of significance α = 0,05; 0,00001 < 0,05. P-value from the test of dependence of measured values by COPM in satisfaction with performance of activities of daily living and SQUALA questionnaire was lower than level of significant α = 0,05; 0,041 < 0,05. Conclusion: The results of the statistical analysis did not confirm the independence of the measured values by the Czech version COPM, BI and the SQUALA questionnaire. It was supported the using COPM in both parts, in performance of activities of daily living and in satisfaction...
