Among them, there is Ivermectin: an antiparasitic that obtained favourable results in its first in vitro experiments to combat the new Coronavirus.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the goal difficulty level in the learning of the volleyball serve, in both precision and the movement pattern. Ten adolescents (13 to 15 years old) inexperienced participated in this study. The dependents variables were accuracy to target and movement pattern of serve. The experiment was composed of three phases:pretest, acquisition phase, and retention test. The results demonstrated higher effectiveness of difficult goal for improve accuracy to target as well as in the movement pattern in comparison with easy goal.

The use of software products is growing, leading to an increase in quality demand. With that, standards were created to implement maturity models inside organizations, including CMMI and MPS-BR. Objective: To investigate the use of maturity models for the development of human aspects in agile teams. Method: A survey was carried out, and the results were analyzed based on the frequency of responses and qualitative analysis. Results: The maturity models focused on people management (P-CMM and MPS-RH) are still little known.

O presente artigo apresenta uma análise sobre os desafios enfrentados processo de ensino e aprendizagem em tempo de pandemia nos cursos de graduação, tendo como objetivo analisar os desafios enfrentados por alunos no acesso e construção da aprendizagem na modalidade de aulas remotas. Também entendemos a importância do problema da pesquisa: Quais os desafios enfrentados por alunos no acesso e construção da aprendizagem nos tempos de pandemia na modalidade de aulas remotas?

A pandemia da COVID – 19 pode ser descrita como uma grave crise social, caracterizando um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública. No cenário mundial para enfrentamento da doença, o distanciamento e o isolamento social foram adotados como estratégias de controle da disseminação do vírus, no entanto, tais medidas podem trazer impactos negativos em diferentes níveis, principalmente às crianças. Assim, objetivou-se realizar uma revisão bibliográfica acerca dos impactos da pandemia de COVID-19 à saúde mental de crianças.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy is a predominantly sensorimotor disorder that involves disorders of muscle tone, posture, and voluntary movements, caused by non-progressive brain injuries. This health condition significantly interferes with the child's interaction in relevant contexts, which influences the acquisition and performance of basic motor milestones, as well as the daily routine activities. It is also known that the stimuli given to patients are extremely important for neuropsychomotor development, and they can act as facilitating or limiting functionality.

This study aimed to investigate the association between sociodemographic and anthropometric factors and aspects of spirituality/religiosity in elderly women with chronic pain. Quantitative cross-sectional research carried out with 80 elderly women, diagnosed with chronic pain, from a multidisciplinary program in inland Minas Gerais. A sociodemographic and the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiosity/Spirituality forms were applied. Statistical analysis was descriptive for numerical variables, while absolute and relative frequencies were used for categorical variables.

Esta pesquisa buscou refletir sobre a prática terapêutica adotada por uma fonoaudióloga durante o atendimento de seis crianças (distribuídas em dois grupos) com dificuldades em leitura e escrita numa Clínica de Fonoaudiologia da Prefeitura Municipal de Americana - SP. A investigação é qualitativa e seguiu a metodologia empregada pelo interacionismo brasileiro, de forma que as sessões foram filmadas, transcritas e, posteriormente, analisadas.

A segment approach is presented that allows to describe the temporal evolution of the dispersion of passive pollutants in non-stationary meteorological conditions. The methodology consists of a continuous series of source emissions integrated in time intervals whose result is a plume segment and has no numerical inversion, which refines earlier literature approaches. The dispersion of pollutants is subject to advection in horizontal direction and turbulent diffusion in all three directions, in an inhomogeneous and non-stationary atmospheric boundary layer.
