Motor deficiency corresponds to a congenital or acquired dysfunction that affects the individuals' motility (mobility, coordination, speech). Many patients with motor deficiency present deficient oral hygiene because they depend on caregivers to perform it, which is not always an easy task, often lacking adequate knowledge, skills, method, and instruments. The dentist is the professional specialized and responsible to train and promote the education of appropriate form of caregivers and parents and people with motor disabilities to perform a quality oral hygiene in the best possible way.

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease caused by Paracoccidioidesbrasiliensis. It is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Brazil and is found predominantly in males between the 4th and 6th decades of life.Due to the involvement of multiple organs and the severe sequel potential, paracoccidioidomycosis is still a public health problem and, therefore, is a disease of great importance to the dermatologist.Given the above, we report a case of cutaneous paracoccidioidomycosis, with the subsequent discovery of pulmonary involvement and associated adrenal glands.

Objetivo: analisar os entraves para aplicabilidade da Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem na consulta do pré-natal de baixo risco. Método: estudo exploratório e descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, caracterizado como bibliográfica e estudo de campo, tendo como método de abordagem o dedutivo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um roteiro de entrevista, aplicados a 39 enfermeiros responsáveis por equipes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família em Imperatriz – MA e analisado à luz de Análise Temática.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the weed seed bank in pasture area. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Alagoas, in 2018, with soil from Lagoa do Ouro, Pe. For seed bank evaluation, 20 soil samples were collected in pasture area. For seed bank determination, seedlings emerged from the trays, whose identification and counting were determined at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days after the implementation of the experiment.

The application of electromagnetic ultrasonic guided wave detection technology in cylindrical pipe detection was studied and analyzed.The basic theoretical relations of axial guided wave are analyzed and deduced. The dispersion characteristics of axial guided wave are analyzed emphatically.

This paper investigates current state-of-the-art LSB based image steganography techniques and tools. The LSB substitution of the image pixels selected sequentially or randomly is the most commonly used spatial domain technique and provides high embedding payload (Li, et al., 2011). It is substitutes secret data bits into least significant bits of cover object to generate the stego image. LSB is one of the most frequently used method because of fine concealment, high capability of hidden information and easy implementation.

Primed naming paradigms have shown that the semantically associated noun primes facilitate naming speed of noun targets. However, few studies controlled for co-occurrence when developing prime-target stimuli, which might have provided a boost in facilitation due to phonological activation between the prime and target. Also, there is limited information about how verb primes affect noun naming.

The mortars produced currently have adhesion and mechanical resistance and physical properties often unsatisfactory to cater for projects with large loads and environmental conditions more severe. This work aims to study the mechanical properties and durability of coating mortars produced with excessive lime or cement. Tests were carried out air incorporated content; resistance to compression, flexion traction and pull off; elasticity modulus; water absorption; porosity, fissurability e digital microscope images. It was CP-II-E-32 cement, CH-I lime and quartz natural sand.

The objective was to compare the morphological adaptations and the capacity to generate force promoted by the tensional versus metabolic resistance exercise. The sample consisted of 28 men, between 18 and 45 years old, resistance exercise practitioners divided into two groups. Anthropometric evaluation and maximal strength test were performed before and at the end of the training period. The hypertrophic responses were intensified by the metabolic method and the ability to generate force by the tension-base method.

This work presents information about the digestive tract contents of the green turtles (Chelonia mydas) on the southern coast of Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil. Between November 2016 and October 2018, the gastrointestinal tract contents were collected from 44 stranded dead individuals. The diet consisted mainly of red algae (65.90%), especially the species Pterocladiella beachiae, Gelidium lineare (52.72%) and Gelidiella acerosa (47.72%).
