TABELA PERIÓDICA INCLUSIVA: UMA PROPOSTA AO ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS NATURAIS PARA ALUNOS CEGOS E COM BAIXA VISÃO

A inclusão de estudantes com deficiência nas escolas regulares é um desafio, não apenas para os alunos com deficiência, mas também para os docentes que muitas vezes se sentem despreparados para desenvolver uma metodologia de ensino verdadeiramente inclusiva. Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a criação de uma maquete adaptada da tabela periódica para alunos com deficiência visual no ensino de Ciências na cidade de Carutapera/MA. Acompanhada de um manual de construção do recurso adaptado e orientações para sua aplicação em sala de aula, essa maquete adaptada demonstra ser uma ferramenta pedagógica para os docentes e um suporte de aprendizagem para os alunos com deficiência visual. A pesquisa foi realizada com base em revisão bibliográfica e abordou os fundamentos legais da Educação Especial e recursos didáticos adaptados para alunos com deficiência visual. A análise do material coletado consistiu na leitura integral dos artigos e na categorização dos artigos com temática semelhante à do trabalho. A criação da maquete adaptada da tabela periódica visa proporcionar igualdade de oportunidades na construção do conhecimento, superando desafios e promovendo uma educação para todos

Regular and moderate exercise before experimental sepsis reduces the risk of lung and distal organ injury. J Appl Physiol 112: 1206-1214, 2012. First published January 19, 2012; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01061.2011.-Physical activity modulates inflammation and immune response in both normal and pathologic conditions. We investigated whether regular and moderate exercise before the induction of experimental sepsis reduces the risk of lung and distal organ injury and survival. One hundred twenty-four BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to two groups: sedentary (S) and trained (T). Animals in T group ran on a motorized treadmill, at moderate intensity, 5% grade, 30 min/day, 3 times a week for 8 wk. Cardiac adaptation to exercise was evaluated using echocardiography. Systolic volume and left ventricular mass were increased in T compared with S group. Both T and S groups were further randomized either to sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture surgery (CLP) or sham operation (control). After 24 h, lung mechanics and histology, the degree of cell apoptosis in lung, heart, kidney, liver, and small intestine villi, and interleukin (IL)-6, KC (IL-8 murine functional homolog), IL-1 beta, IL-10, and number of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BALF) and peritoneal lavage (PLF) fluids as well as plasma were measured. In CLP, T compared with S groups showed: 1) improvement in survival; 2) reduced lung static elastance, alveolar collapse, collagen and elastic fiber content, number of neutrophils in BALF, PLF, and plasma, as well as lung and distal organ cell apoptosis; and 3) increased IL-10 in BALF and plasma, with reduced IL-6, KC, and IL-1 beta in PLF. In conclusion, regular and moderate exercise before the induction of sepsis reduced the risk of lung and distal organ damage, thus increasing survival.Centers of Excellence (PRONEX-FAPERJ)Centers of Excellence (PRONEXFAPERJ)Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (MCT/CNPq)Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (MCT/CNPq)Carlos Chagas Filho Rio de Janeiro State Research Supporting Foundation (FAPERJ)Carlos Chagas Filho Rio de Janeiro State Research Supporting Foundation (FAPERJ)Sao Paulo State Research Support Foundation (FAPESP)Sao Paulo State Research Support Foundation (FAPESP)National Institute of Science and Technology of Drugs and Medicine (INCTINOFAR)National Institute of Science and Technology of Drugs and Medicine (INCT-INOFAR)Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Level Personnel (CAPES)Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Level Personnel (CAPES
