Disease and information spreading at different speeds in multiplex networks.

Nowadays, one of the challenges we face when carrying out modeling of epidemic spreading is to develop methods to control disease transmission. In this article we study how the spreading of knowledge of a disease affects the propagation of that disease in a population of interacting individuals. For that, we analyze the interaction between two different processes on multiplex networks: the propagation of an epidemic using the susceptible-infected-susceptible dynamics and the dissemination of information about the disease-and its prevention methods-using the unaware-aware-unaware dynamics, so that informed individuals are less likely to be infected. Unlike previous related models where disease and information spread at the same time scale, we introduce here a parameter that controls the relative speed between the propagation of the two processes. We study the behavior of this model using a mean-field approach that gives results in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations on homogeneous complex networks. We find that increasing the rate of information dissemination reduces the disease prevalence, as one may expect. However, increasing the speed of the information process as compared to that of the epidemic process has the counterintuitive effect of increasing the disease prevalence. This result opens an interesting discussion about the effects of information spreading on disease propagation.

Instabilidade jurídica e outras determinações: o CNE e a proposta de novas DCNS para a educação física / Legal instability and other determinations: the CNE and the proposal of new DCNS for physical education / Inestabilidad jurídica y otras evaluaciones: la CNE y la nueva propuesta de DCNS de la educación física

Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar a polêmica sobre a abrangência do campo de atuação profissional de Licenciados em Educação Física, o posicionamento estabelecido por um grupo de pesquisadores, egressos e instituições do Estado de Goiás e o movimento político protagonizado a partir deste posicionamento. Dessa forma, acrescentamos elementos para a análise da conjuntura em que o CNE apresentou Minuta de nova Resolução de Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para Graduação em Educação Física. Realizamos análise dos documentos que compõem o ordenamento legal desta questão. Concluímos que foi consolidado um cenário de grande instabilidade jurídica que deve ser compreendido como uma determinação fundamental da iniciativa do Conselho Nacional de Educação em reabrir a discussão com o campo.

This article has the objective of presenting the controversy interpretative about the compre-hensiveness in the area of professional market sectors graduated in Physical Education, the positioning established by a group of researchers, graduating and institutions from the state of Goiás a political movement played starting from this positioning expanding the analyses of the conjuncture that the CNE presented Protocol of new National Guidelines of Curricular Resolution for graduation in Physical Education. We conducted analyses in the documents that compose the legal planning of this question. We concluded that was consolidated a sce-nario that must be understood as a fundamental determination from the initiative of the Na-tional Education Council in reopening the discussion with the area.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar la controversia interpretativa sobre el alcance del campo profesional de Licenciados en Educación Física, el posicionamiento establecido por un grupo de investigadores, graduados y las instituciones del Estado de Goiás y el movimiento político jugó a partir de esta posición, ampliando el análisis de la situación en la que el CNE presentó Proyecto de nueva resolución de las Directrices Curriculares Nacionales para la edu-cación del estudiante del educación física. Se realizó el análisis de los documentos que con-forman el marco legal de este asunto. Llegamos a la conclusión de que se consolidó un gran escenario de inestabilidad jurídica que debe ser entendida como una determinación fundamen-tal del Consejo Nacional de Educación de la iniciativa para reabrir la discusión con el campo.

How learning to read changes the cortical networks for vision and language.

Does literacy improve brain function? Does it also entail losses? Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we measured brain responses to spoken and written language, visual faces, houses, tools, and checkers in adults of variable literacy (10 were illiterate, 22 became literate as adults, and 31 were literate in childhood). As literacy enhanced the left fusiform activation evoked by writing, it induced a small competition with faces at this location, but also broadly enhanced visual responses in fusiform and occipital cortex, extending to area V1. Literacy also enhanced phonological activation to speech in the planum temporale and afforded a top-down activation of orthography from spoken inputs. Most changes occurred even when literacy was acquired in adulthood, emphasizing that both childhood and adult education can profoundly refine cortical organization.

In vitro comparative analysis of resistance to compression of laboratory resin composites and a ceramic system.

BACKGROUND: Restorative materials must be capable not only of restoring the patient's masticatory function, but also to rescue the self-esteem of those maculated by a disharmonious smile. Among the esthetic materials available on the market, the choice frequently lies between ceramic or indirect laboratory resin restorations. AIM: This study assessed the resistance to compression of two laboratory resins found on the market, namely Artglass and Targis, considering Omega 900 ceramic from Vita as control. MATERIALS AND METHODS: With the aid of stainless steel matrices, with internal dimensions of 8.0 mm diameter at the base, 9.0 mm in the top portion and 4.0 mm height, 15 test specimens were made, being 5 of each material to be tested. The test specimens were kept in distilled water for 72 hours and submitted to an axial load by the action of a point with a rounded tip 2 mm in diameter, adapted to an EMIC 500 universal test machine. The compression speed was 0.5 mm/min, with a load cell capacity of 200 Kgf. RESULTS: The means of the results were calculated in kilogram-force (Kgf). The results found were treated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the differences found among the groups were identified by the Tukey test (5%). CONCLUSION: It was observed that the material Omega 900 (R) offered significantly greater resistance to compression than the other two materials, which did not present statistically significant difference between them.

Aesthetic resources in rehabilitation with implant-supported restoration in the anterior region: a clinical case

Achieving aesthetic satisfaction in anterior teeth rehabilitation is a constant challenge to clinicians. Modern implantology is an invaluable tool to replace missing teeth; however, it requires carefully determined steps in each rehabilitation stage, from implant placement of the implant-supported crown. This article aims at reporting the several resources employed in a clinical case that should always be used in rehabilitation with single implant-supported crowns in the axillaryanterior area.
