A usabilidade dos dispositivos móveis no ambiente escolar

The immersion of students in the school environment impacted by digital technologies, available on mobile devices, presents a significant increase due to the ease of communication and the possibility to remain informed and connected. The objective is to design as an investigative resource the students' behavior and understanding of State Law no. 18.118 / 2014 with a diagnosis that explores the usability of mobile devices in the school environment. The subjects studied are students of two classes of the third year of high school morning of a state public school in Curitiba PR. When considering educational practices, this article discusses the inhibitory nature of the usability of mobile devices in the school environment set forth in this law. The epistemological foundation will be Vygotsky's theory of mediation (2000; 2004). The diagnosis will be through the methodology classified as the objectives in an exploratory-descriptive way with qualitative-quantitative nature seen as complementary. The choice of the object of study benefits from the technique of data collection through the questionnaire in Google with online forms, by observation and bibliographic research. It will be classified as data analysis and content analysis technique with descriptive statistics to analyze the connection of students with the use of mobile devices integrated in the school environment and with learning beyond school walls. The results indicated the involvement of the students, and, in this context, it is indicated that the subjects investigated are understood by the students and practiced by them, dynamizing the school routine of the high school. The usability of mobile devices in the construction of knowledge requires a more in-depth discussion about their effectiveness, as well as making compatible the possibilities of these technologies that become instruments in pedagogical and didactic application.

THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF PROACTIVE MARKET ORIENTATION CAPABILITY IN ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION AND SERVICE INNOVATION

ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this article is to verify the mediating effect of a proactive market orientation capability in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and service innovation in micro and small companies in the food-away from home sector. We analyzed the mediating effect of a marketing capability (proactive market capability) because, according to Morgan et al. (2009), a capability is an ability developed from a strategic orientation, and capabilities and orientations together contribute to organizational performance. Originality/Value: The article verifies the mediating effect of a specific marketing capability, the proactive market orientation (PMO) in the proposed relationship. Most studies on market orientation (OM) treat the construct as a business strategic orientation, but few studies investigate market orientation based on the perspective of dynamic capabilities (Hou, 2008). Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative survey was carried out using a non-probabilistic sampling technique for convenience with 168 establishments. The research was carried out in micro and small companies of the food-way from home sector of Curitiba PR, and the respondents were the managers and owners of the establishments. Findings: The results indicate the existence of the mediating effect of PMO in the relationship between EO and service innovation.

<b>A escrituração escolar como prática e como lugar indiciário de representações da infância

School records from the Italian colonies in Curitiba PR Brazil are analyzed as a source of representational forms of childhood. The categories that ordained childhood within the ethnic and school community perspective are identified through the schools´ attendance rolls. The requirement to maintain school records was in fact an administrative tool to transform schooling and teaching into an institution. The practice in schools in immigrants´ colonies provided children’s names, classified the different profiles of children who attended school and measured the regularity of their teaching and learning achievements. Attendance rolls were a legal instrument which showed the school´s capacity to ordain childhood by schooling the social subjects and transforming them into schooled subjects.

O BENEFÍCIO MICROCLIMÁTICO PROPORCIONADO PELA PRAÇA ALFREDO ANDERSEN NA CIDADE DE CURITIBA-PR

The aim of this study was to investigate the microclimate influence of Alfredo Andersen Square in the city of Curitiba PR. This square is a wooded area, with 24 large-sized trees. Its microclimate influence was analyzed with a promptly meteorological data collection, using two Kestrel®’s mini-stations, model 4,200.The data on temperature, humidity and wind speed, werecollected simultaneously in the center of thesquare and in a mobile transect on Augusto Stellfeld Ave. The transect had approximately 1,000 m, with the meteorological data collected every 50 m. The results showed that, on average, the temperature in the square was 1.4 oC lower than on the avenue, the wind speed was 0.29 m/s lower, and the humidity was 5% higher. Since there are urban trees along Augusto Stellfeld Ave., some data from the mobile transect were collected under those trees, which interfered on the results interpretation. Hence, the influence radius of this square on its surroundings could not be determined, being observed only for 200 m.We concluded that Alfredo Andersen Sq collaborates to improve the urban microclimate in the city of Curitiba.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap first described in 1984 is based on perforator vessels of the lateral femoral circumflex artery. It is a cutaneous flap located in the middle third of the anterior thigh and lateral to the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis. The low morbidity related to the donor site and its usefulness for different dimensions make it a versatile flap. Method: This study aimed to present the versatility of the ALT flap in plastic and reconstructive surgeries at the Erasto Gaertner Hospital through a report of three cases. Cases: We describe three cases in which the ALT flap was used for the head and neck, and right hemithorax reconstructions.

PROFILE OF DIABETIC PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED IN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL OF CURITIBA - PR

O objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar o perfil de diabéticos internados em um hospital público do município de Curitiba - PR, analisando algumas variáveis como: sexo, idade, classificação do tipo de diabetes, presença de outras doenças associadas, estado nutricional através do IMC, tratamento utilizado e conhecimento sobre alimentos funcionais. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo transversal realizado com 34 diabéticos com idade superior a 18 anos internados no Hospital de Clínicas/UFPR. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário constituído por perguntas que visaram à identificação do paciente, formas de tratamento utilizadas e a verificação do conhecimento sobre alimentos funcionais. Os dados coletados foram tabulados no programa Libre Office 3.5®. Os resultados obtidos foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva. Dentre os resultados observou-se que 19 pacientes (55,88%) eram do sexo feminino e 15 ( 44,12%) eram do sexo masculino. A prevalência de portadores de diabetes tipo 2 foi maior, representando 30 diabéticos (88,24%) da amostra. Mais da metade da amostra (58,82%) realizavam terapia nutricional, sendo que apenas 12 indivíduos (35,29%) haviam recebido informações sobre alimentos funcionais. Em relação ao estado nutricional, em indivíduos com idade inferior a 60 anos a maior prevalência foi de obesidade (41,18%) e em pacientes com idade superior a 60 anos foi o sobrepeso (64,7%). Conclui-se que na amostra estudada, a maioria eram portadores de diabetes tipo 2, o que justifica a alta prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade. A população realiza tratamento nutricional e medicamentoso, porém a prática de exercícios físicos é restrita bem como o conhecimento sobre alimentos funcionais.

A PESQUISA CLIMATOLÓGICA REALIZADA POR GEÓGRAFOS BRASILEIROS

Os estudos climatológicos, no âmbito da Geografia, vêm ganhando importância,principalmente, após o início da década de 1990, período no qual foi realizado o1º Simpósio Brasileiro de Climatologia Geográfica (SBCG), na UNESP–Rio Claro-SP (1992). As demais sedes do SBCG foram: Presidente Prudente-SP (1996),Salvador-BA (1998), Rio de Janeiro-RJ (2000), Curitiba-PR (2002), Aracajú-SE(2004), Rondonópolis-MT (2006) e Alto do Caparaó-MG (2008). Ao longo destes18 anos, tanto o evento, quanto o número de pesquisas apresentadas cresceude maneira consistente. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo, pretende identificar operfil dos estudos de climatologia na ciência geográfica brasileira, ao longo darealização dos SBCG, assim como, refletir sobre as perspectivas e os entravesdo desenvolvimento de novas vertentes de pesquisa até o momento desprezadopela comunidade geográfica que desenvolve estudos climatológicos. Para odesenvolvimento dessa pesquisa, utilizou–se o levantamento dos cadernos deresumo publicados nos eventos.

Dra. Rosana Herminia Scola – Servico de Doencas Neuromusculares / Hospital de Clinicas da UFPR – Rua General Carneiro 181 / 3o andar 80060-900 Curitiba PR – Brasil. E-mail: scola@hc.ufpr.br Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal dominant peripheral neuropathy characterized by recurrent episodes of paralysis of peripheral nerves, usually after a minor trauma to topographies prone to compression. Involvement of the cranial nerves has rarely been described in these patients. Reports of swallowing dysfunction in patients with HNPP are even rarer. We report a patient diagnosed with HNPP confirmed by molecular testing who presented with recurrent episodes of swallowing dysfunction (SD).
