This paper describes the analysis and design of a tablet-based gaming platform for seniors that promotes their quality-of-life well-being by incorporating cognitive training mechanisms. A literature review age-related changes games indicated 'casual games' have characteristics necessary to provide an enjoyable user experience senior audience. Having concluded these should target stimulation, authors analysed mechanisms achieve this purpose compiled them into matrix be used as starting point...
Introdução: A hipomelanose macular progressiva é uma dermatose caracterizada por máculas hipopigmentadas, não descamativas e sem histórico prévio de inflamação. As lesões são simetricamente distribuídas em dorso abdome podem apresentar confluência linha mediana, especialmente, tronco superior. É prevalente mulheres jovens e, apesar assintomática, possui impacto significativo, devido à questão psicossocial. fisiopatologia ainda bem esclarecida, entretanto sabe-se que um distúrbio...
O Serviço de Atendimento Móvel Urgência (SAMU) desempenha papel crucial no atendimento médico emergencial, mas os profissionais que atuam nesse serviço enfrentam desafios significativos relacionados à saúde mental, como a depressão, exacerbada por fatores estresse ocupacional, longas jornadas trabalho e exposição eventos traumáticos. Este estudo revisa literatura sobre relação entre o SAMU desenvolvimento da buscando identificar risco estratégias enfrentamento. A análise, envolveu 17 estudos...
Serious games can improve the physical rehabilitation of patients with different conditions. By monitoring exercises and offering feedback, serious promote correct execution outside clinic. Nevertheless, existing are limited to specific exercises, which reduces their practical impact. This paper describes design three exercise-agnostic games, that be used for a multitude scenarios. The developed displayed on smartphone controlled by wearable device, containing inertial electromyography...
All over the world there are millions of people who living with long-term motor impairments caused by a stroke or any other kind corticospinal tract injuries. The physical rehabilitation these patients is usually slow and demotivating. In this paper we introduce Kinteract, novel solution
Due to the increasingly alarming consequences of climate change, pests are becoming a growing threat grape quality and viticulture yields. Estimating quantity type treatments control these diseases is particularly challenging due unpredictability insects’ dynamics intrinsic difficulties in performing pest monitoring. Conventional monitoring programs consist deploying sticky traps on vineyards, which attract key insects allow human operators identify count them manually. However, this...
Whilst literature is rich in lessons learned from recruitment and retention of participants longitudinal studies, papers sharing practical experience implementing such studies with or about ICT are lacking. We discuss the challenges four older adults chronic disease patients for assessment self-care technology. Despite apparently prosaic, everyday potential threats to non-mainstream audiences may be hard anticipate. A reflection by researchers leading these led three main themes associated...
Augmented Reality (AR) applications have been announced as promising for remote assistance in Industry. However, there is a gap of human-centred design processes informing the technology such contexts. In this paper, we report phases process to inform an industrial AR application maintenance workers, which included worker interviews, and sequence usability tests conducted with dyads, using handheld head mounted displays. With paper contribute still emerging body knowledge on practical...
Phylogenetic gaps of publicly-available reference sequences are a major obstacle for species identification and management, particularly in the Global South, where economically important fisheries conservation flagship often lack closely-related references. We applied target-enrichment to obtain complete mitochondrial genomes marine ichthyofauna from Brazilian coast lacking phylogenetically-close Species were selected based on economic significance, including three sardines (Dorosomatidae...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic injuries to the brain, also called intracranial injury, or simply head occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage. TBI can result from closed penetrating and is one of two subsets acquired (ABI). major public health problem, especially among males ages 15 24, elderly people both sexes 75 years older. Children aged 5 younger are at high risk for TBI.Males account thirds childhood adolescent patients. Half all TBIs due transportation accidents involving...
How to conceive educational software in order enhance learning?The emergent technology has brought us a number of tools that makes possible create multiple pedagogical conditions, encouraging constructivist approach learning.The purpose this paper is show how interactive learning generate engaging experiences for the geometric transformations at basic school level. DESIGNING INTERACTIVE LEARNING TOOLSOnce we have all our ideas well organized and determined main goals project must pay...
