O kung Fu e o desenvolvimento infantil : desenvolvimento motor
No full textEste trabalho busca elementos para verificar a ligação do Kung Fu, uma arte
marcial chinesa, com o desenvolvimento motor infantil, baseando-se no conceito do
desenvolvimento motor de GALLAHUE, D. L.; OZMUN, J. C e MEINEL, K., e assim poder
associar estes conceitos a pratica desta, que atualmente é uma das artes marciais mais praticadas
no mundo. Mas antes de apresentar o desenvolvimento motor, passa-se por uma revisão da
história do Kung Fu, e uma revisão sobre o desenvolvimento, para que se possa desenvolver
com clareza a idéia da ligação das duas coisas. Durante a pesquisa foi realizado como forma de
busca de dados, um sistema de diário de observação de alunos praticantes de Kung Fu em
diversos níveis de aprendizagem e treinamento, respeitando a faixa etária proposta pelo trabalho,
para poder apresentar conclusões consistentes. Sem aprofundar-se no tipo de treinamento
realizado e nos estilos existentes da modalidade esportiva, mas se atentando exclusivamente as
crianças no treinamento, com os dados coletados, foi possível observar uma grande relação entre
o Kung Fu e a melhora do desenvolvimento de capacidades como coordenação motora geral,
equilíbrio, lateralidade, noção de direita e esquerda, posição e sentido.This paper searches for elements to verify the connection of Kung Fu, a
Chinese martial art, with the motor development of children, based on the concept of motor
development of GALLAHUE, D. L.; OZMUN, J. C e MEINEL, K., and this way be able to
associate these concepts to it, which is currently one of the most practiced martial arts in the
world. But before presenting the motor development, it will go through a review of the history
of Kung Fu, and a review about the development, so that it can develop a clear idea of the
connection of both things. During the research it was conducted as a way of data searching, a
system of observation journal of students practicing Kung Fu at different levels of learning and
training, respecting the age proposed for the work, to present consistent conclusions. Without
going too deep into the kind of training conducted and in the different existing styles of the
sport, but exclusively paying attention to the children in training, with the collected data, it was
possible to observe a strong relation between Kung Fu and the improvement of capacities as
general motor coordination, balance, laterality, sense of right and left, position and direction
Pharmacoeconomic analysis of adjuvant oral capecitabine vs intravenous 5-FU/LV in Dukes' C colon cancer: the X-ACT trial
No full textOral capecitabine (Xeloda<sup>®</sup>) is an effective drug with favourable safety in adjuvant and metastatic colorectal cancer. Oxaliplatin-based therapy is becoming standard for Dukes' C colon cancer in patients suitable for combination therapy, but is not yet approved by the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the adjuvant setting. Adjuvant capecitabine is at least as effective as 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV), with significant superiority in relapse-free survival and a trend towards improved disease-free and overall survival. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of adjuvant capecitabine from payer (UK National Health Service (NHS)) and societal perspectives. We used clinical trial data and published sources to estimate incremental direct and societal costs and gains in quality-adjusted life months (QALMs). Acquisition costs were higher for capecitabine than 5-FU/LV, but higher 5-FU/LV administration costs resulted in 57% lower chemotherapy costs for capecitabine. Capecitabine vs 5-FU/LV-associated adverse events required fewer medications and hospitalisations (cost savings £3653). Societal costs, including patient travel/time costs, were reduced by >75% with capecitabine vs 5-FU/LV (cost savings £1318), with lifetime gain in QALMs of 9 months. Medical resource utilisation is significantly decreased with capecitabine vs 5-FU/LV, with cost savings to the NHS and society. Capecitabine is also projected to increase life expectancy vs 5-FU/LV. Cost savings and better outcomes make capecitabine a preferred adjuvant therapy for Dukes' C colon cancer. This pharmacoeconomic analysis strongly supports replacing 5-FU/LV with capecitabine in the adjuvant treatment of colon cancer in the UK
Encontro e confronto do (in) visível na tradução do romance Il fu Mattia Pascal de Pirandello
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.O objetivo desta dissertação é o de analisar duas traduções brasileiras do romance Il Fu Mattia Pascal, de Luigi Pirandello; verificar como Pirandello se inseriu na literatura italiana e os principais traços estilísticos de sua obra em geral e de Il Fu Mattia Pascal, em particular; observar se as traduções distanciaram-se ou aproximaram-se do original e se os tradutores brasileiros Mário da Silva e Helena Parente Cunha foram visíveis ou invisíveis de acordo com a teoria de Lawrence Venuti. Assim sendo, esta dissertação divide-se em três capítulos. Parte-se de um capítulo no qual se apresenta o escritor Luigi Pirandello, o contexto histórico-social do qual o autor faz parte e a sua presença no cenário brasileiro. Em um segundo momento, aborda-se a questão do estilo presente nas obras de Pirandello e em especial no romance Il Fu Mattia Pascal. Por fim, analisam-se duas traduções brasileiras deste romance e se os aspectos relacionados ao estilo do autor italiano permaneceram nelas ou não e se os tradutores foram visíveis ou invisíveis
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Practical application of on-line partial discharge monitoring technique on 500kV shunt reactor
No full textConsidering the damage mechanism of oil-impregnated paper insulation in power transformers, shunt reactors and other high voltage electrical apparatus caused by partial discharge, a concept of “destructive partial discharge” is introduced in this paper. The intensity of this discharge is regarded as several thousands pico-coulomb (pC) and may cause the insulation a fatal damage. An oil-paper insulation is usually able to withstand this type of partial discharge for a period of time prior to failure. This provides engineers a time window to detect it. This paper describes an on-line partial discharge monitoring system for 500kV shunt reactors. The commission results from 3 single-phase shunt reactors either connected or disconnected to the grid showed that the on-line partial discharge detecting system has a high noise immunising ability. Two years later after the installation, a pre-warning signal was received from one shunt reactor indicating the existence of an intermittent discharge. The acoustic emission system located its position at the low end of the high voltage bushing in the oil. Dissolved gasses analysis (DGA) in the oil suggested the presence of partial discharge, as acetylene (C2H2) was as high as 20ppm. PD activity was further confirmed by a physical examination on the reactor
