Attention and memory are indispensable faculties in athletes. Beyond the techniques, these cognitive capacities, achieve or truncate victories in daily life. Objective: To compare two of the neurocognitive functions: Attention and memory, through the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test in university students practicing bodybuilding with and without anabolics. Methodology: research by qualitative method/case study, based on the Mocha Test instrument, focusing on the attention and memory section required for the research. Contribution: The results show a slight neurocognitive deterioration according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test in both groups of athletes, however the notably lower score in attention and memory was that of group B. Those athletes who consume anabolic substances. These results suggest the need to provide attention as a red flag for possible consequences on neurocognitive functions in the long term.

Este trabalho apresenta o estudo de caso de um jovem FR que sofreu uma parada cárdio-respiratória ocasionando anóxia cerebral. O estudo visa a compreender, de acordo com a Neuropsicologia luriana e com a Neurolingüística Discursiva, os efeitos causados pela lesão neurológica e a contribuir para a prática clínica com sujeitos cérebro-lesados, sobretudo na Fonoaudiologia.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Atenção. Memória. Neurolingüística. Fonoaudiologia.ABSTRACTThis essay presents a case of a study of a young veterinary student (FR), that suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest resulted in brain anoxia. The study aims to understand, in consonance with the Lurian neuropsychology and with the Discursive Neurolinguistics, the effects caused by the neurological lesion and to contribute to the clinical practice with brain-damaged subjects, principally in the Speech Therapy. KEYWORDS: Attention. Memory. Neurolinguistics. Speech pathology.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
