This research analyzes the fall history of a group of elderly people and studies the effects of an intervention program based on Adapted Utilitarian Judo (JUA) to teach fall control in subjects with fear of falling syndrome (FOF). We adopted a quasi-experimental research design with pre-post measurement of the experimental group, in a healthy, pre-fragile sample of 12 women aged 71.5 ± 8 years, chosen using non-probabilistic-incidental accessibility sampling. The WHO questionnaire was used for the functional assessment of the fall. To evaluate FOF, we applied the 16-item version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), (pretest and posttest). This intervention program was based on Adapted Utilitarian Judo and conducted over 8 weeks, with two 60-minute sessions each week. After analyzing the scores obtained by the subjects in the pre and post FES-I, we found that the intervention with the JUA program had been significant for the experimental group with p ≤ 0.004, and there was an 11.9% decrease in the fear of falling (FES-I pos = 18.17). The results show that after the application of the JUA program there were significant improvements in subjects’ perception of FOF, with this being greater in those who had the highest levels of fear of falling before the intervention.

O idoso brasileiro enfrenta vários problemas que se relacionam, desde o processo de envelhecimento e suas questões biológicas até a organização da sociedade, como a Qualidade de Vida e a escolaridade. Muitos projetos tentam compensar os efeitos negativos do envelhecimento, dentre esses, as Universidades para a Terceira Idade. Um dos principais artefatos empregados nessas instituições são os materiais didáticos que servem de apoio ao aprendizado. Se não forem planejados adequadamente, os problemas fisiológicos e sociais tornarão esses artefatos excludentes. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os elementos tipográficos e apontar quais as principais características para produzir artefatos gráficos inclusivos. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa experimental com testes tipográficos comparativos em 88 voluntários. Os resultados apontam que a escolaridade interfere na percepção e compreensão dos estilos tipográficos e fontes com traços com pouca modulação e com elementos de diferenciação são mais inclusivos.*****The elderly Brazilian faces several problems that vary from the aging process and its biological issues to the organization of society, such as Quality of Life and education. Many projects try to compensate for the negative effects of aging like Universities for the Elderly. One of the main artifacts used in these institutions is the teaching materials that support learning. If not carefully planned, physiological and social problems will make these artifacts excluding. In this sense, the objective of this study was to analyze the typographic elements and to point out which are the main characteristics to produce inclusive graphic artifacts. To this end, an experimental research was carried out with comparative typographic tests on 88 volunteers. The results show that schooling interferes in the perception and understanding of typographic styles and fonts with little modulation and with elements of differentiation are more inclusive.

Surface Changes

Ultrastructural changes have been shown to occur in the urinary bladder epithelium (urothelium) during the life span of humans. With increasing age, the luminal surface becomes more flexible and develops simple microvilli-like processes. Furthermore, the specialised asymmetric structure of the luminal plasma membrane is relatively more prominent in the young than in the elderly. The nature of the changes at the luminal surface is now explored by lectin-mediated adsorption visualised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Samples of young adult (21-31 y old) and elderly (58-82 y old) urothelia were fixed in buffered 2% glutaraldehyde for 10 m and washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing Ca++ and Mg++ at room temperature. They were incubated overnight at 4°C in 0.1 M ammonium chloride in PBS to block any remaining aldehyde groups. The samples were then allowed to stand in PBS at 37°C for 2 h before incubation at 37°C for 30 m with lectins. The lectins used were concanavalin A (Con A), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) at a concentration of 500 mg/ml in PBS at pH 7.A.
