Recém-nascidos (RN) pequenos para a idade gestacional (PIG) apresentam alterações nos valores hematológicos comparados aos RN adequados para a idade gestacional (AIG) e pré-termos. Persistem também limitações metodológicas inerentes a acurácia dos métodos de determinação da idade gestacional. Objetivos: Determinar os fatores associados ao RCIU, as características hematológicas dos recém nascidos portadores do RCIU e avaliar a acurácia dos métodos da avaliação da idade gestacional utilizados no diagnóstico antropométrico desses recém-nascidos. Metodologia: Estudo envolvendo puérperas e 564 RN em 2 maternidades públicas da cidade de Salvador. Foram classificados de AIG, RN com o peso ≥10th e <90th, de PIG aqueles com peso <10th, avaliados pela curva de Williams; e pré-termo, aqueles com <37 semanas de gestação. Os dados foram coletados utilizando-se de questionário padronizado. Foram tomadas as medidas antropométricas da criança e da puérpera e coletou-se o sangue do cordão umbilical. A idade gestacional foi calculada pelos métodos da data da última menstruação, ultrassonografia e físico de Capurro. Estudo 1 de desenho caso-controle. Estudos 2 e 3 de desenhos de corte transversal. Análise estatística: No estudo 1, utilizou-se a regressão logística não condicional para testar a associação entre a variável dependente e as preditoras e Odds Ratio foi adotado como medida de associação. No estudo 2, a média e seu respectivo DP, valor máximo e mínimo foram usados para descrever os valores hematológicos do cordão umbilical. Para o estudo 3, realizou-se a diferença entre as medianas da idade gestacional segundo os métodos, utilizando-se do teste não paramétrico “Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test”. A correlação entre as idades gestacional estimadas pelo DUM, USG e Capurro e entre estes métodos e o peso ao nascer foi realizada utilizando-se do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Utilizou-se o Coeficiente Kappa para avaliar a concordância entre os métodos na estimação do estado antropométrico do recém-nascido. A validade dos métodos na estimação da idade gestacional foi avaliada por meio do cálculo da sensibilidade, especificidade, VPP, VPN e pela curva ROC. Foram utilizados os pacotes estatístico SPSS.11 e o Stata 8, aceitando-se a significância de 5% nas estimativas de interesse. Resultados: Com o estudo 1, identificou-se que a primeira gestação (OR:2,85; 1,73-4,71), o hábito de fumar (OR: 2,65; 1,35-5,19) e a gestação anterior desfavorável (OR:2.10; 1,21-3,64) se comportaram como fatores de risco para retardo no crescimento intra-uterino. Os resultados do estudo 2 indicaram que valores mais altos de hemácias (4,21×1012/l±0,48), hemoglobina (14,50 g/dl ±1,42), hematócrito (43,50%±4,36), ferritina (162,61 µg/l ±100,10); RDW (13,34±0,85%) e leucócitos (12,82 109/l ±3,39) foram identificados nos RN PIG, quando comparados com aqueles dos AIG a termo e pré-termos. Os RN AIG pré-termos apresentaram valores mais altos de VGM e HGM. Os valores médios das plaquetas foram mais altos nos RN AIG a termo. A partir dos resultados do estudo 3, observou-se que o método de Capurro incrementou a idade gestacional em intervalos menores de 39 semanas e a USG a aumentou a partir deste patamar, em relação ao método DUM. Os métodos DUM e USG apresentaram maior correlação entre a estimativa da idade gestacional e o estado antropométrico para o conjunto dos RN (r=0,668) e para a identificação do RN AIG (r=0,685). Considerando a idade gestacional estimada pelo DUM e a relação com o peso ao nascer, o coeficiente de correlação foi mais elevado (r=0,609) na identificação dos RN PIG’s. Na predição de RN PIG’s, maior sensibilidade foi observada para a USG (96,6%) e maior especificidade para o Capurro (75,5%). Acurácia mais elevada na estimativa da idade gestacional foi observada para a USG na 41ª, tomando como referencia o DUM (ROC=77%). Conclusão: O RCIU associou-se à primeira gestação, à gestação anterior desfavorável e ao hábito de fumar. RN portadores de RCIU apresentaram valores ematológicos mais elevados em relação os RN AIG e pré-termos e o método físico de Capurro apresentou pior desempenho na identificação de RCIU. / Salvador

My work deal s with the difficulties of educating mentally disabled children. We familiarize with various definitions and concepts such as mental disability (mental retardation), Down syndrom, alternative schooling, elemantary school, special and practical school and finally home schooling. This work analyzes and locates the ideal form of educating less severely mentally disabled children.

The thesis focuses on dynamic evaluation of younger pupils with mild mental retardation by application of a Visual Perception Test, which evaluates certain areas of sight perception. It is an alternative diagnostic method focused on rational intervention, which applies diagnostically obtained findings and results in search for adequate assistance and support of the particular pupil. In the theoretical section, the text focuses on pupils with mild mental retardation, their specific features and education. It introduces basic findings on dynamic diagnostics and dynamic approach and its application in support of pupils with reduced intellect. In the empirical section, the research seeks to verify whether the test, which evaluates selected aspects of sight perception, is a suitable tool for dynamic examination of children with mild mental disabilities and whether and in what form of intervention, the pupils who have been included in the research project experience different results in the pre-test and post-test. Based on the detected results, the Visual Perception Test appears to be a very effective tool in dynamic diagnostics for individuals with mild mental retardation. In the conclusion and the recommendations, the work presents the detected suitable forms of intervention for each particular pupil.

The study aimed at giving a thick description of African families' experiences, views, cultural beliefs and interpretations of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and making recommendations for rehabilitation. It was conducted from the qualitative research paradigm, adopting a phenomenological research method. Twenty-two pairs of participants (patients and their caregivers )were interviewed about their perception of TBI. The semi-structured interviews were conducted at the participants' homes in Sesotho, and where necessary in their home languages. The consequences of TBI were found to follow universal trends (Oddy, 1984). However, participants' perceptions, as shaped by their experiences, views and cultural beliefs, were found to be unique. On analysing the gathered data, using inductive data analysis, it was found that African families' interpretations of TBI were based on beliefs about witchcraft, thwasa, Satanism, ancestral anger and God's wish. Based on these findings, rehabilitation services in the form of education, advocacy, networking and family therapy are recommended. / Psychology / M.A.(Clinical Psychology)

A alta variabilidade no peso ao nascer de leitões e o nascimento de leitões com pesos muito inferiores a média da leitegada evidencia a restrição de crescimento intrauterino, acentuada a partir da seleção genética de matrizes suínas mais prolíferas. Esses animais desenvolvem-se de maneira inferior aos seus contemporâneos e tem aumentado os riscos de morte ou descarte, acarretando menores índices produtivos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do desenvolvimento intrauterino no crescimento, longevidade, produtividade e desempenho reprodutivo de futuras matrizes reprodutoras suínas. Além disso, avaliar a influência do desenvolvimento corporal e sua relação com puberdade e desempenho reprodutivo. No primeiro estudo, o peso ao nascer foi dividido em oito grupos e foram determinadas as curvas de crescimento e o desempenho reprodutivo até o terceiro parto de 1495 leitoas Landrace x Large White (DanBred®). Nas leitoas que pertenciam ao grupo mais leve, ou seja, com menos de 1 kg, o potencial de crescimento foi inferior do que as leitoas do grupo mais pesado, com menor ganho de peso diário (GPD) em todas as fases avaliadas (20, 70 e 170 dias) e com menor peso aos 170 dias, momento onde foi realizada a seleção para entrada no rebanho. A mortalidade e perdas cumulativas até os 170 dias foram maiores em leitoas pesando menos de 1 kg, reduzindo a oportunidade destas de serem selecionadas como futuras matrizes. Além disso, leitoas que nasceram com peso inferior a 1 kg tiveram menor número de dias de permanência no plantel e produziram quase 4,5 leitões a menos ao longo de três partos quando comparado com os outros grupos de peso ao nascer. O segundo estudo utilizou um total de 665 leitoas Landrace x Large White (DanBred®) para avaliar os efeitos da idade e taxa de crescimento no momento de exposição ao macho e suas consequências no desempenho reprodutivo. As leitoas foram retrospectivamente classificadas em grupos de acordo com idade a exposição ao macho (140-155 e 156–170 dias) e taxa de crescimento até a exposição ao macho (Baixa: 500–575 g/d; Intermediária: 580–625 g/d; e Alta: 630–790 g/d). Leitoas expostas ao macho com 140-155 dias tiveram menor manifestação de estro (60,8 vs. 77,0%) até os 30 dias do que àquelas expostas com 156-170 dias de idade. A manifestação de estro até 30 dias após a exposição ao macho foi maior para leitoas com alto ganho de peso (74,3%) do que as de ganho de peso baixo e intermediário (65,5 and 64,3%, respectivamente). A taxa de parto e o número de leitões nascidos no primeiro parto não foram afetados pela idade e pela taxa de crescimento. Os resultados dos nossos estudos apontam para a conclusão que o peso ao nascer e o desempenho de crescimento influenciam no desempenho reprodutivo das leitoas quando adultas. / The high variability on piglet birth weight and the birth of piglets weighing less than 1 kg show a restriction on intrauterine growth, increased by the large litter size of hyperprolific sows. These animals develop in lower rates than its contemporaries and have increased risk of death or culling, resulting in lower productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intrauterine development in growth, longevity, productivity and reproductive performance of sows destined to breeding herd. In addition, was to evaluate the influence of body development and its relation with puberty and reproductive performance. On the first study, using a retrospective classification into eight classes of birth weight were determined the growth and reproductive performance until the third parity of 1,495 crossbred Landrace x Large White gilts (DanBred®). Piglets from the lower birth weight group, i.e., less than 1 kg, had poorer growth performance when compared with the higher class, with lower body weight and average daily weight gain in all stages of development evaluated. Mortality and cumulative losses until 170 days of life were greater on piglets weighing less than 1 kg at birth, reducing the opportunity for their selection as future breeders. Furthermore, sows born weighing less than 1 kg had lower number of days in the breeding herd and produced almost 4.5 less piglets along three parities than the other gilts. A second study used a total of 665 Landrace x Large White gilts (DanBred®) to evaluate the effects of age and growth rate until the onset of boar exposure on first oestrus manifestation and reproductive performance. Gilts were retrospectively classified in groups according to their age at boar exposure (140-155 and 156–170 days) and into classes according to their growth rate from birth to boar exposure (Low: 500–575 g/d; Intermediate: 580–625 g/d; and High: 630–790 g/d). Gilts exposed to boar at 140-155 days had lower oestrus manifestation (60.8 vs. 77.0%) within 30 days than those exposed at 156-170 days of age. Lower percentages of gilts in oestrus within 30 days after boar exposure were observed in Low and Intermediate growth rate gilts (65.5 and 64.3%) than in High growth rate gilts (74.3%). Farrowing rate and number of total born litter size were affected neither by age or growth rate at onset of boar exposure. The results of our studies point to the conclusion that the birth weight and the developmental performance have influence on the reproductive performance of gilts as sows.

The thesis aims at acquiring relevant information concerning the motivation of clients, their guardians or statutory representatives for the choice of residential service. Research question: Why do families leave clients in the care of residential facility of social services even though they have knowledge, skills, and material potential to provide the care of their members in the family? The theoretical part of the thesis defines basic terms and briefly describes the Home for Persons with Disabilities in Zběšičky. The sample consists of families of clients that are interested in their family members and continually cooperate with the Home for Persons with Disabilities in Zběšičky. It is a quota sampling where quotas are conditioned by the interest and cooperation of family members. When elaborating the practical part I chose the qualitative research strategy because of the sensitivity of acquired data and with the view of the ethically very problematic area of study. In-depth interviews with clients? families were selected as the questioning method. Interview transcripts, notes from the dates etc. were given to the thesis supervisor Ing. Lucie Kozlová, Ph.D. at her disposal upon the agreement of communication partners while a promise was given that they would not be handed over to a third person. Only the data coming from the communication partners who had agreed with their processing into the final version and had answered all questions by the end of the data acquisition were used as the results of the diploma thesis. The results of this thesis displayed that families have not come through the whole process of the coping ? admission of the child and have chosen passive and escapist strategies in which they remain. They rationalize their decision by pointing out the necessity of the provision of indispensable complex care which they cannot provide to the clients at home, the demanding character of the care, the presently worsening health state of the carers, the inevitability of care of client?s siblings etc. By the placement in the residential service with regular visits of the client at home, the persisting ambivalent relations to the client manifest themselves together with the necessity to maintain the contact and saturate emotional needs at least in this way. A combination of several factors influences the decision to place there their family member. The placement of a client in the residential service is understood by the families as the final and definitive solution. Therefore passive attitudes to possible changes prevail and families conform to changing demands from the social services providers only unwillingly. With difficulties they get accustomed to the change of the attitude of the society oriented from the paternalist concept of social work towards the assumption of responsibility and active solution of proper situation. It is obvious from the interviews that families have potential, knowledge and skills to take care of their handicapped family members in the home environment, but they refuse the permanent care. In the course of in-depth interviews, I have managed to get into a more intensive relationship and cooperation with clients? families. Knowledge acquired is a valuable feedback for the assessment of the quality of provided care and for the adaptation to the real needs of the clients and their families. Moreover, the results have influenced the ongoing process of quality standards revision and amended methodical materials in the facility. In the spirit of humanizing and transformation changes in the facility, common education of facility employees and our clients? families has been intensively prepared and common meetings of families have been supported in a more substantial way. An increased care is now dedicated to carers.

Introduction: The measurement of placental thickness can constitute an important clinical marker for newborns prediction affected by the restriction of uteroplacental blood flow. With a simple and inexpensive technique after birth, and with ultrasonographic findings obtained previously during pregnancy, it adds up an inexpensive and effective method in perinatal propaedeutics, adding greater security in the management of these high-pregnant women risk suffering from hypertension, diabetes mellitus and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Objectives: To study the placental thickness in low-risk pregnant women and women with hypertensive syndromes of pregnancies, IUGR and diabetes mellitus; search for possible associations between placental thickness diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and immediately after birth; seek possible association between placental thickness and perinatal outcomes. Methodology: Cross-sectional, prospective, observational study of a group of pregnant women with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and intrauterine growth restriction to be compared to a control group. Such a study was carried out between the months of October 2013 and February 2015. The first group consisted of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus, the second group consisted of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, the third group consisted of pregnant women with IUGR and the fourth group, of low-risk pregnant women. During the hospitalization of the patient, six measures of placental thickness were performed by ultrasound examination. The placentas were examined macroscopically right after birth, to evaluated the placental thickness, performing five cuts transversely. With a total of six slices, the thickness measurement was performed with a digital equipment at the center point of each slice. Results: Total sample of this study consisted of 83 patients, 30 healthy patients with low-risk pregnancy, 20 women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, 17 with diabetes and 16 women with intrauterine growth restriction, and of these, eight had also pre-eclampsia associated with. Evaluating the correlation between measures of placental thickness of each slice, mesuared by ultrasound and macroscopic examination, there was a significant but weak correlation between the first (r = 0,26; p = 0,02) and sixth (r = 0,28; p<0,01) slices and a significant and moderate correlation between the third (r = 0,33; p = 0,02), fourth (r = 0,41; p<0,0001) and fifth (r = 0,38; p<0,0001) slices. As to the correlation between the average thickness at the macroscopic to the average thickness at ultrasound, separeted by groups, there was a significant correlation in the IUGR group (r = 0,60; p<0,05). Conclusions: measures of placental thickness evaluated by antepartum ultrasound and macroscopic examination of the placenta after birth, have a positive and significant correlation, regardless of the diseases of pregnant women prior or during pregnancy; there was no correlation between the average thickness of the placenta in postpartum measures with the average thickness of the antepartum ultrasound measures in groups of BXR, SHG and DM, but there was moderate correlation in the IUGR group; the division of the placenta into slices both ultrasound examination as at the macroscopic examination after delivery showed a low but significant correlation between the third slices and a positive and significant correlation between the first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth slices between the methods of measurement. There was no correlation between the measurements of placental thickness antenatal or postnatal with perinatal outcomes. By the findings of this study, it is recommended that the placental thickness measurement by ultrasound should be performed in the center of the placental disk, corresponding to the third or fourth slice. / Introdução: A medida da espessura placentária pode se constituir em um marcador clínico importante para a predição de recém-nascidos afetados pela restrição de fluxo sanguíneo uteroplacentário. Com estabelecimento de técnica simples e barata, após o nascimento, e de posse de resultados ultrassonográficos obtidos previamente durante a gestação, acrescenta-se mais um método de baixo custo e eficácia preditiva acurada na propedêutica perinatal, adicionando maior segurança no manejo destas gestantes de alto risco portadoras de doença hipertensiva, diabetes melito e crescimento intrauterino restrito (CIUR). Objetivos: Estudar a espessura placentária em gestantes de baixo risco e portadoras de Síndromes Hipertensivas da Gestações, CIUR e Diabetes melito; buscar possíveis associações entre a espessura placentária diagnosticada ao exame ultrassonográfico pré-natal e imediatamente após o nascimento; buscar possível associação entre a espessura placentária e desfechos perinatais. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, prospectivo e observacional de um grupo de gestantes portadoras de doença hipertensiva, diabetes melito e crescimento intrauterino restrito que foi comparado a um grupo controle. Tal estudo foi desenvolvido entre os meses de outubro de 2013 e fevereiro de 2015. O primeiro grupo foi constituído de gestantes portadoras de diabetes mellitus gestacional, o segundo grupo, foi constituído de gestantes portadoras de síndromes hipertensivas da gestação, o terceiro grupo foi constituído por gestantes portadoras de CIUR e, o quarto grupo, por gestantes de baixo risco. Durante a internação hospitalar da parturiente foram realizadas seis medidas de espessura placentária pelo exame de ultrassonografia. As placentas foram examinadas macroscopicamente logo após o nascimento sendo avaliada a espessura placentária, realizando-se cinco cortes no sentido transversal da placenta. Com um total de seis fatias, a medida da espessura foi realizada com um especímetro digital no ponto central de cada fatia. Resultados: amostra total deste estudo foi constituída por 82 pacientes, sendo 29 pacientes hígidas, com gestação de baixo risco, 20 portadoras de síndromes hipertensivas da gestação, 17 portadoras de diabetes melito e 16 portadoras de crescimento intrauterino restrito, sendo que dessas, 8 apresentavam, também, PE associada. Quando se buscou a correlação entre as medidas das espessuras placentárias de cada fatia, avaliadas pela ecografia e macroscopia, houve correlação fraca porém significante entre as primeiras (r = 0,26; p = 0,02) e sextas fatias (r = 0,28; p<0,01) e correlação moderada e significante entre as terceiras (r = 0,33; p = 0,02), quartas (r = 0,41; p<0,0001) e quintas (r = 0,38; p<0,0001) fatias. Quando buscou-se a correlação entre a espessura média na macroscopia com a espessura média na ecografia, por grupos de estudo, observou-se correlação moderada e significante no grupo de crescimento restrito (r = 0,60; p<0,05). Conclusões: as medidas da espessura placentária avaliadas pela ultrassonografia anteparto e ao exame macroscópico da placenta após o nascimento, possuem uma correlação positiva e significante, independente de as gestantes serem ou não portadoras de patologias prévias ou durante a gravidez; não houve correlação entre a espessura média da placenta na macroscopia pós-parto com a espessura média à ecografia nos grupos de BXR, SHG e DM, porém houve correlação moderada no grupo de CIUR; a divisão da placenta em fatias tanto no exame de ultrassonografia como no exame macroscópico após o parto mostrou uma correlação positiva e significante entre as primeiras, terceiras, quartas, quintas e sextas fatias, entre os métodos de medida; não houve correlação entre as medidas da espessura placentária antenatal e pós-natal com as diversas variáveis perinatais. Pelos achados do presente estudo, recomenda-se que de forma sistemática a medida da espessura placentária pela ultrassonografia seja realizada no centro do disco placentário, ou seja, na terceira ou quarta fatia.

Studies of Individual traits perceived as necessary to achieve managerial effectiveness, while multitudinous in the world of commerce, have yet to be undertaken as they apply to managers in residential facilities serving mentally retarded individuals. The problem of this study was to identify a group of individual traits perceived as characteristic of effective managers in residential facilities for the mentally retarded. Projectively, the identified traits could constitute valid criterion for consideration in the selection process utilized in employing managers for both public and private facilities. The primary purpose of this study was to develop an instrument which would enable the interviewer to secure information regarding specific individual traits. An informed predictive decision regarding the effective management potential, of the individual, for a residential facility for mentally retarded individuals would be greatly enhanced. The secondary purpose of the study was to focus on a comparison between group responses for each of the 25 trait items. The study will identify significant differences and relationships between the responses of State Directors of Mental Retardation Programs, Assistants to Texas Deputy Commissioner for Mental Retardation, Superintendents of Texas State Schools for the Mentally Retarded and a select group of managerial personnel within Texas State Schools for the Mentally Retarded. Comparison of response profiles contribute to an index of preferential traits for each of the managerial groups by contrasting patterns of preferences between all managerial groups and delineating traits which were common in preference among all groups. The tertiary purpose of the study was to identify patterns of personal traits which should constitute valid criterion for consideration in the selection process utilized in employing managers for both public and private facilities. Specific attention was given to the managerial trait preferences of each group of managers included in the study.

The lack of information and daily contact among people without disabilities with people with disabilities can contribute to the construction of preconception and difficulties in the social interactions between both. The present research describes conceptions and social attitudes of children without disabilities concerning mental retardation and inclusion, and analyzes the effects of an informative program about these aspects. The participants of this research were forty children from two the first grade classrooms in one public elementary school localized in Marília, State of São Paulo. One of the classrooms participated as a control group. Every child was submitted to a pre and a post-test in the form of individual interviews about the issue. They also participated in the application of childish scale on social attitudes in respect to the inclusion. The experimental group participated in the informative program, composed of thirteen weekly meetings of one hour and thirty minutes duration each in which it were discussed limitations and possibilities of people with mental retardation, specialized assistance, their scholarization and familiar and social aspects, utilizing a variety of ludic and educational strategies. The data collected during the interviews were categorized and analyzed in its content. From the scale, it was obtained individual scores. Statistics calculations were realized to verify the significance of the differences among groups. The results indicated that the informative program favored a higher understanding of the mental retardation, including a more realistic view of the possible limitations and abilities of people with disabilities as well as their needs of support and the environment transformation. Moreover, the perception of similarities among people with and without disabilities, social acceptance and favorable attitudes towards inclusion increased. The results also indicated the necessity to develop research and intervention about this issue along with the community, which leads to the construction of more appropriate conceptions, attitudes, positive feelings and inclusion facilitators since the childhood. / Para se efetivar uma real inclusão, além dos aspectos políticos, estruturais e educacionais, é essencial que se considere também os aspectos subjetivos e relacionais envolvidos no processo. A desinformação e a falta de contato cotidiano de pessoas sem deficiência com pessoas com deficiência podem contribuir para a construção de preconceitos e dificuldades nas interações sociais entre ambas. A presente pesquisa descreveu concepções e atitudes sociais de crianças não-deficientes acerca da deficiência mental e da inclusão e analisou os efeitos de um programa informativo sobre elas. Participaram do estudo quarenta crianças de duas salas de primeira série de uma escola estadual de Marília-SP. Uma das salas participou como grupo controle. Todas as crianças passaram por um pré e um pós-teste, na forma de entrevistas individuais sobre o tema e de aplicação de uma escala infantil de atitudes sociais em relação à inclusão. O grupo experimental participou do programa informativo, composto por treze encontros semanais de uma hora e meia de duração cada nos quais foram discutidas as limitações e as possibilidades das pessoas com deficiência mental, o atendimento especializado, sua escolarização e aspectos familiares e sociais, utilizando estratégias lúdicas e educacionais variadas. Os dados coletados nas entrevistas foram categorizados e analisados em seu conteúdo. Com a escala, foram obtidos escores individuais. Foram realizados cálculos estatísticos para verificar a significância das diferenças entre os grupos. Os resultados indicam que o programa informativo proporcionou um maior entendimento da deficiência mental, incluindo uma visão mais realista das possíveis limitações, das habilidades de pessoas deficientes e das necessidades de apoio e transformações do meio para atender às suas necessidades. Além disso, aumentou a percepção das similaridades entre pessoas com e sem deficiência, a aceitação social do deficiente e as atitudes favoráveis à inclusão. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de ampliação de pesquisas e intervenções sobre o tema junto à comunidade, que levem à construção de concepções mais adequadas, de atitudes e sentimentos positivos e de facilitadores à inclusão, desde a infância.

Bibliographic identification Author's first name and surname: Silvie Macečková, BA. Title of the master thesis: Motor skills exhibited by three year old children diagnosed with SGA. Department: Department of physiotherapy Supervisor: PaedDr. Irena Zounková, Ph.D. The year of presentation: 2018 Abstract This thesis is focused on the issue of children with a history of low birth for gestational age (SGA) in relation to motor problems. Its theoretical part summarizes the specifics of the development of these individuals and defines the problems of terminology and classification. It deals with the risks associated with early postnatal periods and long-term complications with metabolic and neurological impacts. The target of this study was to find out whether motor disorders are more common in children with a history of SGA (IUGR) than those of general population. The test group and the general population group underwent kinesiological examination by aspects and a battery of MABC-2 tests. This hypothesis has not been proven. In addition, the thesis aimed to evaluate the possible link between the motor manifestation at the early age and the age of two and three years. Final data from kinesiological examination, case history data, BSID II test results, and MABC- 2 battery tests were used for this purpose....
