Este artigo objetiva compreender como a Educação Ambiental (EA) acontece no currículo e na atuação das Escolas de Pedagogia Waldorf, (PW) Ensino Fundamental. As ferramentas, estratégias metodologias orientadas às iniciativas EA, que visam mudanças atitudes comportamentos voltados à relação ser humano/natureza, foram trazidas ao contexto Waldorf para verificar possíveis correspondências destas c...

Broca's area is classically associated with speech production. Recently, Broca's area has also been implicated in speech perception and non-linguistic information processing. With respect to the latter function, Broca's area is considered to be a central area in a network constituting the human mirror system, which maps observed or heard actions onto motor programs to execute analogous actions....

OBJECTIVES We sought a noninvasive estimation of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Pw) by means of the information obtained from transmitral pulsed Doppler and color M-mode Doppler flow propagation velocity (FPV). BACKGROUND Pulsed Doppler parameters have limited accuracy for the estimation of Pw because they are determined by left atrial pressure and other parameters such as ventricular re...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to acetazolamide is a key parameter in determining the severity of hemodynamic impairment in patients with major cerebral artery occlusive disease. Perfusion-weighted MRI (PW MRI) can measure the cerebral blood volume (CBV) as an indicator of hemodynamic impairment. CBV measured by PW MRI was compared with CVR measured by positron emission...

We sought to investigate variation of atrial electromechanical interval after catheter ablation procedure in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation using pulse Doppler (PW) and pulse tissue Doppler imaging (PW-TDI). A total of 25 consecutive in-patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, who restored sinus rhythm after ablation procedure, were recruited in our cardiac center. Echocardio...

This study measured sweat rates (m(sw)) during high-altitude summer treks on Mt. Kilimanjaro to evaluate the efficacy of a recently developed fuzzy piecewise sweat prediction equation (Pw,sol) for application to high-altitude conditions. We hypothesized that the Pw,sol equation, adjusted for the barometric pressure (Pb) decreasing steadily at high altitude (Pw,sol+Alt), would allow for a more a...

We embed the upper semilattice of r.e. Turing degrees into a slightly larger structure which is better behaved and more foundationally relevant. For P,Q ⊆ 2, we say P is Muchnik reducible to Q if for all Y ∈ Q there exists X ∈ P such that X is Turing reducible to Y . We let Pw denote the lattice of Muchnik degrees of nonempty Π1 subsets of 2. Pw is a countable distributive lattice with 0 and 1....

Income Risk, Income Mobility and Welfare This paper develops a framework for the quantitative analysis of individual income dynamics, mobility and welfare. Individual income is assumed to follow a stochastic process with two (unobserved) components, an i.i.d. component representing measurement error or transitory income shocks and an AR(1) component representing persistent changes in income. We...

The rank-dependent welfare functions and the rank-dependent poverty measures are weighted sums of the income and the gap of an individual, respectively, where the weights only depend on the position of each individual. In this work we show that an OWA operator is underlying in the definition of every rankdependent welfare function and every rank-dependent poverty measure. For each OWA operator ...
