Introduction: Communication is a fundamental element for the development of human beings, promoting their coexistence in society. However, changes in muscle tone, associated with cerebral palsy (CP), among other conditions, cause phono-articulatory dysfunctions hindering speech capabilities. Although there are resources for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), most of them do not completely satisfy the needs of individuals with motor impairment. Therefore, this study proposes a tool based on mobile technology for AAC, which can be adapted to the characteristics of the motor limitations of CP users. Methods: Mobile system development was conducted employing user-centered design and development methods. Functions were developed allowing the communication of phrases through pictographic resources and a mechanism of speech synthesis, that can be customized according to specific communication needs. To validate this system, 20 CP volunteers with speech difficulties and motor impairment were recruited from two institutions in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. They operated the system following a pre-defined test protocol, and they answered a system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire, to rate the ease of learning, memorization, efficiency, occurrence of runtime errors, and the level of user satisfaction. Results: The results showed a score of 85.85 ± 2.28 above the average SUS scale, for each one of the quality components assessed by the volunteers. Conclusion: The developed software is user-friendly, representing a new option for AAC, and is customized according to the communication needs of people with speech disorder and motor impairment.

Este estudio presenta un protocolo de preservación de rastros y evidencias digitales ante ciberincidentes por medio de diferentes niveles de acceso de usuarios, con base en la informática forense. La aplicación de nuevas herramientas y sus funciones permite conservar información que puede esclarecer los tipos de ataques, la dinámica del delito, su materialidad y su autoría. Este es un protocolo que determina la primera respuesta digital, clasificada por niveles de urgencia, para apoyar la toma de decisiones manteniendo la cadena de custodia según el riesgo de volatilidad de los datos. Se concluye que este protocolo apoya el esclarecimiento de un ciberincidente y permite la correcta conservación de los datos, de manera que cada organización atacada pueda decidir qué datos debe priorizar en la identificación y la protección de la información.

estipulado e não se deixarem distrair por outras brincadeiras, mostrou o acerto do meio escolhido para este trabalho. Em nenhum momento as crianças consideraram as atividades como tarefas escolares. O conteúdo educativo permaneceu transparente aos jogadores que enxergaram apenas uma atividade lúdica, podendo desse modo, facilitar a aprendizagem das crianças desmotivadas pelos métodos tradicionais.

Telemedicine and telehealth are emerging areas of information technology that has had increasing importance of university centers for tele-education, tele-assistance and research multi-centers. Even today, these emerging areas have faced problems for the maintenance of digital security as well as the transmission of information between distant points to carry out their main activities focus. This paper presents the results of scientific and technological collaborative development between research groups from Brazil and Colombia to carry out the practice of telemedicine and telehealth applied to health since 2013. A result of international partnership between the Laboratory of Systems in Health [Lab.Sh] technological research core (NPT) at the University of Mogi das Cruzes (UMC), SP, Brazil, and the Research Group on Telemedicine (TIGUM) of the Military University Nueva Granada (UMNG), Bogotá, Colombia, which continue to work promoting technological development between countries in South America with the implementation of collaborative work between university centers of reference and innovation. Currently the work shows the feasibility of integration between undergraduate students, graduate and health professionals to develop models, strategies and mechanisms for the purpose of transmission of information to consider the distance and digital security. As well as the activities carried out between university centers of reference in the community with the creation of new solutions related to health care and the practice of telemedicine and telehealth with an emphasis on tele-education, tele-assistance and research multi-centers.
