Down syndrome, or chromosome 21 trisomy, is a genetic change that occurs at the time of conception of a child. People with Down syndrome have intellectual disabilities, this fact contributes to social exclusion, isolation and impairment in their development, since there is much social prejudice regarding this syndrome. Considering the need to include children with Down Syndrome In schools this research aimed to promote a reflection on the process of inclusion of these people in Brazilian schools through the assistive technologies used. This research is an integrative literature review where the search took place in databases of greater relevance to the subject. The exact descriptors of medical subject titles were used in English using "Mainstreaming (Education)", "Down Syndrome" and "Schools" and in Portuguese the exact descriptors in the health sciences "Educational Inclusion", "Down Syndrome" and Schools”. The results showed that the insertion of the child is only physical and only due to the obligation promoted by the current national legislation. Social inclusion does not occur in such a way as to integrate students, teachers and technicians, and teachers are unprepared to drive inclusion due to limitations in their education, lack of incentive to qualification, school infrastructure and large numbers of students in the classroom. In accordance with this reality, this paper aims to promote a reflection on the inclusion of students with Down syndrome in Brazilian schools, through the discussion and development of appropriate assistive technologies for this process to occur effectively.

a RESUMOOBJETIVO: Analisar o comportamento da pressão arterial e da frequência cardíaca de idosos praticantes de exercícios físicos em academias da terceira idade de Maringá, Paraná. MÉTODO: Foram avaliados 70 idosos voluntários, sendo 41 mulheres e 29 homens, com idade média de 67,2 ± 6,6 e 65,9 ± 12,3 anos, respectivamente. Realizaram três minutos de exercício nos equipamentos selecionados, avaliados por meio de um frequencímetro e pelo método auscultatório, com auxílio de um esfigmomanômetro. RESULTADOS: Os valores elevados de frequência cardíaca foram registrados no multiexercitador. Quer seja na frequência cardíaca, quer seja na pressão arterial, houve diferenças significantes nas médias dos valores encontrados na avaliação inicial, comparadas às médias da avaliação final (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÕES: A pressão arterial eleva-se dentro dos limites fisiológicos estabelecidos para os idosos, podendo tais atividades serem consideradas seguras para essa população. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: frequência cardíaca; atividade motora; envelhecimento; promoção da saúde. ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: To analyze the behavior of blood pressure and heart rate in elderly people practicing physical exercises in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. METHODS: 70 elderly volunteers were evaluated, 41 women and 29 men, with a mean age of 67.2 ± 6.6 and 65.9 ± 12.3 years, respectively. They performed three minutes of exercise on the selected equipment, evaluated by means of a frequency meter and by the auscultatory method, with the aid of a sphygmomanometer. RESULTS: High heart rate values were recorded in the multi-exerciser. In both the heart rate and the blood pressure, there were significant differences in the means of the values found in the initial evaluation, compared to the means of the final evaluation (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Blood pressure rises within the physiological limits established for the elderly, and these activities may be considered safe for this population.

The deaf teacher is a professional who differs from another in the way he communicates, and the language used by these professionals is the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). The objective: to verify the inclusion of deaf teachers in higher education as well as to verify the assistive technologies that contribute to this process and the reality of these professionals. The methodology was a literature review of articles published between 2009 and 2017. Data werecollected from the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), using the keywords: teachers, deafness, universities, inclusion, assistive technologies and disability. The results showed that the inclusion of deaf teachers in higher education occurs due to the laws that determine the appointment of deaf teaching professionals as priorities for teaching LIBRAS courses in universities, being LIBRAS an Assistive Technology (TA) for the inclusion of these professionals. However, deaf teachers showed isolation due to the difficulty of communication with other teachers, having difficulties to exchange experiences beyond the strangeness of the students, about the didactics, methodology and evaluation of the deaf teacher.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar os impactos da prática de exercícios físicos na aptidão física relacionada a saúde. Trata-se de um estudo de coorte retrospectiva, quantitativo, exploratório, comparativo e longitudinal com intervalo de 12 anos. Foram coletadas informações de 198 pessoas matriculadas em academia de ginástica entre 2007 e 2009, sendo que em 2019, 40 destes indivíduos, com idade entre 40 e 60 anos, foram novamente entrevistados e avaliados com os mesmos instrumentos de coleta de dados anteriormente utilizados. Foram coletadas variáveis antropométricas e de aptidão física. Os resultados evidenciaram que os indivíduos que continuaram praticando exercícios físicos regularmente nos últimos dozes anos, quando comparados aqueles que não se mantiveram ativos são mais aptos em relação a saúde, embora com significância estatística apenas nas variáveis peso (p=0,004), índice de massa corporal (p=0,001); percentual de gordura (p=0,039) e circunferência abdominal (p= 0,006). Dessa forma conclui-se que indivíduos ativos fisicamente por períodos prolongados são mais aptos fisicamente com relação à saúde e que o exercício regular instituído causa impacto positivo na aptidão física relacionada à saúde comprovando ser essa prática uma importante estratégia para promoção da saúde.
