Abstract The article addresses the topic of executive functions and learning in university students. It is considered relevant at the present time, due to the diverse affectations that are perceived in the academic performance after the pandemic, problems to regulate their learning, the little capacity to look for relevant information and difficulties to abstract significant aspects of the data of interest are more and more evident. From here, the relevance of better understanding the role of executive functions in learning is raised, for which, we begin with several definitions that coincide in characterizing them as those that regulate, control, mediate the higher and more complex activities performed by the brain; they are located in the frontal cortex and have different rates of development throughout the life cycle, from childhood to young adulthood when they reach their full development. In addition to this, the components of executive functions are described, since they are varied depending on the authors and their relationship with learning. The approach is eminently neuropsychological, but there is a brief dialogue with the philosophy of Heidegger, Hume, and Locke. It concludes with several suggestions of possible activities that can be carried out to develop these functions in students.

Resumen El artículo aborda el tema de las funciones ejecutivas (FE) y el aprendizaje en estudiantes universitarios. Se considera relevante en el momento actual, debido a las diversas afectaciones que se perciben en el rendimiento académico luego de la pandemia, siendo cada vez más evidentes los problemas para regular el aprendizaje, la poca capacidad para buscar información relevante y las dificultades para abstraer aspectos significativos de los datos de interés. Desde aquí se plantea la relevancia de comprender mejor el papel de las FE en el aprendizaje, para lo cual, se inicia con varias definiciones que coinciden en caracterizarlas como aquellas que regulan, controlan y mediatizan las actividades superiores y más complejas que realiza el cerebro; se las ubica en el córtex frontal y tienen diversas tasas de desarrollo a lo largo del ciclo vital, desde la infancia hasta la adultez joven, en la que alcanzan su pleno desarrollo. Agregado a esto, se describen los componentes de las FE, puesto que son variados dependiendo de los autores y su relación con el aprendizaje. El enfoque es eminentemente neuropsicológico, pero se realiza un breve diálogo con la filosofía de Heidegger, Hume y Locke. Se concluye con varias sugerencias de posibles actividades que pueden llevarse a cabo para desarrollar estas funciones en los estudiantes.

Abstract Sleep disorders are common in children and affect neurological development with important cognitive, emotional and behavioral repercussions. There is a high prevalence of sleep disorders (SD) in neurodevelop mental disorders (NDD) such as autism spectrum dis order (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Sleep disorders in pediatric population have a prevalence of 6-25%, while in children with NDD this number rises to 50-80%. In NDDs, higher rates of dif ficulties in falling asleep, nocturnal awakenings and daytime sleepiness are observed. Disturbances in the circadian rhythm as well as respiratory sleep disorders are also observed. Consequently, there is a decrease in alertness for daytime activities with increased be havioral disorders, emotional problems and academic difficulties associated with executive and memory dys functions. Sleep assessment has to be a systemic part in the clinical evaluation of children with NDDs, so as to give a convenient diagnosis and treatment in each case, allowing to improve the quality of life of children and their families.

Resumen Los trastornos del sueño son frecuentes en niños y afectan al desarrollo neurológico, con importante repercusión cognitiva, emocional y conductual. Existe una alta prevalencia de trastornos del sueño (TS) en los trastornos del neurodesarrollo (TND), como trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) y trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH). Los TS en población pediá trica tienen una prevalencia del 6-25%, mientras que en los niños con TND esta cifra asciende al 50-80%. En los TND se observa un incremento de las dificultades para conciliar el sueño, de los despertares nocturnos y de la somnolencia diurna. Así mismo, presentan alteracio nes del ritmo circadiano y trastornos respiratorios del sueño. Como consecuencia se produce una reducción de la alerta para las actividades diarias con incremento de trastornos conductuales, problemas emocionales y dificultades académicas asociadas a disfunciones eje cutivas y de memoria. La evaluación del sueño debe formar parte sistemática en la valoración clínica de los niños con TND, con el fin de realizar un diagnóstico y un tratamiento adecuados a cada caso, permitiendo mejorar la calidad de vida del niño y de su familia.

Abstract Introduction : Executive functions and Metacogni tion are integrated for the management of intellectual resources in close relation to intelligence its function ing and results; they are specially interesting for un derstanding the expression and development of high intellectual abilility (HIA). The aim of the study is to find out the relationship between executive functions (and components) and metacognition (and components) in schoolchildren with HIA. Materials and Method : Measures of executive and metacognitive functioning and perfectionism were ex tracted from a sample of n= 147 schoolchildren with HIA. Results : statistical analyses using Path analysis, of fered an adjusted model in which the different ex ecutive components are related to the metacognitive components. Discussion : We conclude and discuss the integrative model between executive function and metacognition and its mediating role as an endophenotype between genetic endowment and the expression of resource performance, suggesting the transfer of results to the education of high intellectual ability for the optimal and ethical expression of high potential.

Resumen Esta revisión da cuenta de artículos que se refieren a la relación existente entre aislamiento social y funciones ejecutivas encargadas de la generación de recursos, para la adaptación de las personas a situaciones poco habituales. Se empleó una estrategia PICO para la definición de la pregunta de investigación y lineamientos básicos del modelo PRISMA, se revisó bases de datos en Scopus, Science Direct, Springer y Google académico. Se identificaron 7042 artículos que cumplían con los criterios de selección, reportándose finalmente 12 investigaciones. Se concluye que el aislamiento social se relaciona con un funcionamiento cognitivo general más deficiente, extendiéndose a otros dominios cognitivos como: orientación, memoria y atención. Además, se evidencia que el aislamiento actúa como un estresor crónico, observándose una disminución en la actividad cortical global y un aumento del cortisol.

Abstract This review reports articles aimed to analyze the relationship between social isolation and executive functions responsible for generating resources for adapting people to unusual situations. A PICO strategy was used to define the research question and essential guidelines of the PRISMA model, and databases in Scopus, Science Direct, Springer, and Google Scholar were reviewed. 7.042 articles that fulfilled the selection criteria were identified, finally reporting 12 investigations. It was concluded that social isolation is related to poorer general cognitive functioning, extending to other cognitive domains such as orientation, memory, and attention. It was also evidenced that isolation acts as a chronic stressor, showing decreased global cortical activity and increased cortisol.

RESUMEN A raíz del inicio de la pandemia del COVID-19 en el Paraguay, el Poder Ejecutivo tomó la decisión de no retornar a clases y el Ministerio de Educación y Ciencias (MEC) adoptó la modalidad de educación a distancia. Este estudio busca evaluar como la pandemia del COVID-19 influyó en los procesos educativos siguiendo las medidas de bioseguridad establecidas por el Ministerio de Salud Pública y Bienestar Social. Se utilizó la técnica de revisión documental, y lecturas sobre informes investigativos para constatar la realidad en tiempos de pandemia. Es relevante mencionar que el COVID-19 arrastró no solo una crisis sanitaria, sino también económica, alimentaria, tecnológica y educativa modificando la normalidad en la que vivíamos. Se concluye que el uso de estrategias de alcance y aprendizaje creativas para el buen desempeño de las funciones pedagógicas fue esencial para dar continuidad a la educación. Los resultados indican que el confinamiento afectó la relación entre docentes y estudiantes, generando un desequilibrio emocional, frustraciones, obstáculos y falta de comprensión coherente de contenidos. Se recomienda romper las brechas en el acceso a las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, para que las mismas no sean un impedimento a la hora de continuar el proceso educativo.

ABSTRACT As a result of the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Paraguay, the Executive Branch made the decision not to return to classes and the Ministry of Education and Sciences (MEC) adopted the modality of distance education. This study seeks to evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the educational processes following the biosecurity measures established by the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare. The documentary review technique was used, and a reading on research reports to verify the reality in times of pandemic. It’s concluded that the use of creative outreach and learning strategies for the good performance of pedagogical functions was essential to give continuity to education. In addition, COVID-19 dragged with it not only a health crisis, but also economic, food, technology, and education, modifying the normality in which we lived. The results indicate that the confinement affected the relationship between teachers and students generating an emotional imbalance, frustrations, obstacles and the lack of coherent understanding of the educational contents. It is recommended to break the gaps in access to Information and Communication Technologies, so that they are not an impediment when continuing the educational process.

Abstract This article is the result of a comparative analysis of the various types of electoral systems, with the aim of establishing the foundations of electoral justice. The main characteristics of electoral systems are studied in terms of their normative, executive and adjudicative functions, as well the independence and autonomy among them; the allocation of such functions to one of the three spheres of state power; the recruitment, career and prerogatives of their members; and the main principles and guidelines orienting their decisions. The research is focused on national rights representative of legal systems influenced by common law and civil law. Based on international norms, electoral justice is contextualized as an indispensable mechanism of safeguarding fundamental rights from a human rights perspective. With a qualitative approach, supported by legislation and legal doctrine, the paper presents and reflects on the forms of electoral justice, its minimum standards, and the role played by such justice in the maintenance of a democracy.

Abstract This study analyzes the Peruvian party system between 2001 and 2016 and its effects on the functioning of the Congress of the Republic through different indicators of legislative activity, such as normative production, revision of decrees, and control of the executive and partisan conformation of the legislature and its governing bodies, among others. As a result, different stages in executive-legislative relations are evidenced, with a marked distancing and final isolation of the ruling party, which tends to increase instability and difficulty in deploying its government agenda. Congress had a high degree of instability, volatility, and growing difficulties in articulating majorities that would allow it to carry out its functions as a legislative power. The low institutionalization of the party system and the precarious structuring of these organizations explain, at least partially, the limiting effects on the functioning of the executive and legislative branches and their progressive distancing.

Resumen El presente estudio analiza el sistema de partidos peruano entre 2001 y 2016 y sus efectos en el funcionamiento del Congreso de la República. Esto se lleva a cabo a través de diferentes indicadores de actividad legislativa, como el caso de la producción normativa, la revisión de decretos, el control al ejecutivo y la conformación partidaria del Legislativo y de sus órganos de gobierno, entre otros. Como resultado de ello, se evidencian diferentes etapas en las relaciones Ejecutivo-Legislativo, con un marcado distanciamiento y final aislamiento del oficialismo, el cual tendió a una creciente inestabilidad y dificultad para desplegar su agenda de gobierno. Por parte del Congreso, se observa una elevada inestabilidad, volatilidad y crecientes dificultades para articular mayorías que permitan llevar a cabo sus funciones como Poder Legislativo. La baja institucionalización del sistema de partidos y la precaria estructuración de estas organizaciones explican, al menos parcialmente, los efectos limitadores que se produjeron en el funcionamiento de los poderes Ejecutivo y Legislativo y de su distanciamiento progresivo.

ABSTRACT Objective: Considering the importance of the beginning of the academic trajectory for children to reach their full development, this work aims to evaluate the school readiness of preschool-age children and identify which factors influence these results, in order to contribute to the proposition of strategies that allow improving the teaching-learning process and child development. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study with 443 preschool children belonging to the West Region Cohort (ROC Cohort), from the public school system of the city of São Paulo. School readiness was assessed by the International Development and Early Learning Assessment (IDELA) tool. Non-parametric techniques were used for the correlation analysis between IDELA scores and sociodemographic and socioeconomic conditions: Spearman's parametric correlation, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: The children's mean age was 69 months (standard deviation — SD=2.8; ranging from 55 to 72 months) and most of them came from families with low socioeconomic level. Most children showed adequate readiness in the overall score (65%) and in most domains, except for emergent literacy, in which most (56.9%) were classified as “emergent”. The highest percentage of insufficiency was identified in executive functions (4.1%), which showed a correlation only with the caregiver's education. Conclusions: Children had adequate school readiness scores, except for emergent literacy, but the insufficiency in executive functions may compromise the future schooling of these children. Thus, pedagogical proposals should consider these aspects for learning and pediatricians need to reinforce the habit of reading and playing games to stimulate child development.

RESUMO Objetivo: Considerando-se a importância do início da trajetória acadêmica para as crianças alcançarem o seu pleno potencial de desenvolvimento, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a prontidão escolar de crianças em idade pré-escolar e identificar que fatores influenciam esses resultados, com a finalidade de propor estratégias que possam melhorar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento da criança. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e analítico, com 443 pré-escolares pertencentes à Coorte da Região Oeste (Coorte ROC) da rede pública de ensino da cidade de São Paulo. A prontidão escolar foi avaliada pela ferramenta International Development and Early Learning Assessment (IDELA). Técnicas não paramétricas foram utilizadas para a análise de correlação entre escores de IDELA e as condições sociodemográficas e socioeconômicas: correlação paramétrica de Spearman, testes de Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: A média de idade das crianças foi de 69 meses (desvio padrão — DP=2,8; variando de 55 a 72 meses) e maioria era proveniente de famílias com baixo nível socioeconômico. A maioria das crianças apresentou prontidão adequada na pontuação geral (65%) e na maior parte dos domínios, com exceção da pré-escrita, na qual as crianças foram predominantemente (56,9%) classificadas como “emergentes”. O maior percentual de insuficiência foi identificado nas funções executivas (4,1%), apresentando correlação apenas com a formação do cuidador. Conclusões: As crianças apresentaram escores adequados de prontidão escolar, exceto para a pré-escrita, mas a insuficiência nas funções executivas pode comprometer a escolaridade futura dessas crianças. Assim, as propostas pedagógicas devem considerar esses aspectos para a aprendizagem, e os pediatras precisam reforçar o hábito de ler e dos jogos e brincadeiras para estimular o desenvolvimento infantil.

ABSTRACT Purpose To address the need for a standardized assessment tool for assessing cognitive-communication abilities among Indian preschoolers, the current study aimed at describing a Delphi based development and validation process for developing one such tool. The objectives of the research were to conceptualize and construct the tool, validate its content, and assess its feasibility through pilot testing. Methods The study followed a Delphi approach to develop and validate the tool across four phases i.e. conceptualization; construction; content validation; and pilot testing. The first three phases were performed with a panel of six experts including speech-language pathologists and preschool teachers while the pilot testing was done with 20 typically developing preschoolers. A literature review was also conducted with the Delphi rounds to support the developmental process. Results The first two rounds of the Delphi aided in the construction of a culturally and linguistically suitable story-based cognitive-communication assessment tool with the memory (free recall, recognition, and literary recall) and executive function (reasoning, inhibition, and switching) related tasks relevant for preschoolers. The content validation of the tool was continued with the experts till the revisions were satisfactory and yielded an optimum Content Validity Index. The pilot test of the finalized version confirmed its feasibility and appropriateness to assess developmental changes in the cognitive-communication abilities of preschoolers. Conclusion The study describes the Delphi-based conceptualization, construction, content validation, and feasibility check of a tool to assess cognitive-communication skills in preschool children. cognitivecommunication cognitive communication preschoolers ie i e i.e conceptualization speechlanguage speech language 2 storybased story free recall recognition reasoning, reasoning (reasoning inhibition switching Index Delphibased children

ABSTRACT The second part of this review is an attempt to explain why only Homo sapiens developed language. It should be remarked that this review is based on the opinion of a clinical neurologist and does not intend to go beyond an overview of this complex topic. The progressive development of language was probably due to the expansion of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and its networks. PFC is the largest area of the human cerebral cortex and is much more expanded in humans than in other primates. To achieve language, several other functions should have been attained, including abstraction, reasoning, expanded working memory, and executive functions. All these functions are strongly related to PFC and language had a profound retroactive impact on them all. Language and culture produce anatomic and physiological modifications in the brain. Learning to read is presented as an example of how culture modifies the brain. topic (PFC networks primates attained abstraction reasoning memory all brain

RESUMO A segunda parte desta revisão é uma tentativa de explicar por que apenas o Homo sapiens desenvolveu a linguagem. Ressalta-se que esta revisão é baseada na opinião de um neurologista clínico e não pretende ir além de uma visão geral deste tema complexo. O desenvolvimento progressivo da linguagem provavelmente se deveu à expansão do córtex pré-frontal (PFC) e de suas conexões. O PFC é a maior área do córtex cerebral humano e é muito maior em seres humanos do que em outros primatas. Para adquirir a linguagem, diversas outras funções precisavam ter sido alcançadas, incluindo abstração, raciocínio, expansão da memória de trabalho e funções executivas. Todas essas funções estão fortemente relacionadas com o PFC e a linguagem teve um profundo impacto retroativo em todas elas. A linguagem e a cultura produzem modificações anatômicas e fisiológicas no cérebro. Aprender a ler é apresentado como um exemplo de como a cultura modifica o cérebro.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Following instructions, inhibiting distractions from the environment, planning and executing complex motor task, as well as controlling impulsivity are fundamental executive skills to participate in a rehabilitation program in a satisfactory manner. The purpose of this review is to make the rehabilitation team aware of the importance of executive dysfunctions in the rehabilitation process of post-stroke patients. Method: a literature review was carried out using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases, including articles published up to April 2023. Combinations of search terms were used for three categories: stroke, executive functions (EF) and executive dysfunctions. We selected cross-sectional designs, clinical trials and systematic review that included the terms /dysfunctions and stroke. Results: we identified 174 articles that met the search criteria, of which 121 were discarded because they addressed concepts other than the study objective and 7 articles were found to be duplicates. Forty-six articles were selected considering their pertinence, relevance and up-to-dateness in the subject. Conclusion: impaired EF is a heterogeneous syndrome in which the simultaneous interaction of multiple cognitive processes, such as the ability to reason and solve problems is often severely compromised. This impairment can be detrimental during the post-stroke rehabilitative process, as components of executive function are necessary principles for real-world functioning.

RESUMEN Introducción: Seguir instrucciones, inhibir distracciones del entorno, planificar y ejecutar actos motores complejos, así como controlar la impulsividad; son habilidades ejecutivas fundamentales para participar de un programa de rehabilitación de manera satisfactoria. El propósito de esta revisión es concientizar al equipo rehabilitador sobre la importancia de las disfunciones ejecutivas en el proceso de rehabilitación de personas post ACV. Método: se realizó una revisión de literatura a través de las bases de datos PubMed, Embase, Web of Science y Cochrane Library, incluyendo artículos publicados hasta abril 2023. Se emplearon combinaciones de términos de búsqueda para tres categorías: ACV, funciones ejecutivas (FE), y disfunciones ejecutivas. Se seleccionaron diseños de corte transversal, ensayos clínicos y revisiones sistemáticas que incluyeran los términos funciones /disfunciones ejecutivas y ACV. Resultados: Se identificaron 174 artículos que cumplían con los criterios de búsqueda, de los cuales fueron descartados 121 por abordar conceptos distintos al objetivo de estudio y 7 artículos que se encontraban duplicados. Fueron seleccionados 46 artículos considerando su pertinencia, relevancia y actualización en el tema. Conclusión: El deterioro de las EF es un síndrome heterogéneo en el cual la interacción simultánea de múltiples procesos cognitivos, como la capacidad para razonar y resolver problemas a menudo se ve gravemente comprometida. Este deterioro puede resultar perjudicial durante el proceso rehabilitador posterior a un ACV, ya que los componentes de la función ejecutiva son principios necesarios para el funcionamiento en el mundo real.

ABSTRACT: Body percussion constitutes a decisive expressive-musical element in many works of the band repertoire. The compositional possibilities that it offers from a rhythmic, timbral and choreographic point of view are often linked to traditional musical elements as in the case of Palindromia Flamenca by Antonio Ruda Peco. In this work for solo soprano saxophone and band the Spanish musician, through the almost constant presence of clapping, creates a musical climax very close to flamenco as the performance, entrusted to a specific group of musicians, brings to mind the role of palmeros. In this article, through a musicological investigation we intend to pay particular attention to the musical characteristics and functions that body percussion performs within the composition. This will represent the basis for developing a teaching proposal based on the BAPNE Method for the development of executive functions.

RESUMO: A percussão corporal constitui um elemento expressivo-musical decisivo em muitas obras do repertório de banda. As possibilidades composicionais que ela oferece do ponto de vista rítmico, tímbrico e coreográfico estão muitas vezes ligadas a elementos musicais tradicionais, como é o caso de Palindromia Flamenca de Antonio Ruda Peco. Nesta obra para saxofone soprano solo e banda, o músico espanhol, através da presença quase constante de palmas, cria um clímax musical muito próximo do flamenco, pois a performance, confiada a um grupo específico de músicos, traz à mente o papel de los palmeros. Neste capítulo, através de uma investigação musicológica pretendemos dar especial atenção às características e funções musicais que a percussão corporal desempenha na composição. Isto representará a base para o desenvolvimento de uma proposta de ensino baseada no Método BAPNE para o desenvolvimento de funções executivas.

RESUMO. Apesar do crescente conhecimento nos últimos anos, pouca atenção tem sido direcionada aos aspectos neuropsicológicos e à prevalência de declínio cognitivo associado à Síndrome de Vasoconstrição Cerebral Reversível (SVCR). Objetivo: Descrever a frequência e expandir o entendimento da disfunção cognitiva associada à SVCR. Métodos: A avaliação neuropsicológica foi realizada por meio de uma bateria composta de instrumentos neuropsicológicos específicos, que foram aplicados aos pacientes com SVCR. Uma triagem foi realizada para excluir outras potenciais causas de declínio cognitivo. O desempenho nos testes foi considerado como variável categórica, e o corte de −1,5 escore z foi adotado para indicar desempenho comprometido. Resultados: Sete pacientes com diagnóstico de SVCR foram avaliados, os quais tinham todos nível de ensino superior e pontuação normal no Miniexame do Estado Mental. A média de tempo entre o diagnóstico e a avaliação neuropsicológica foi de 1,8 ano. Dentre os pacientes, 85,6%(n=6) apresentaram desempenho comprometido em pelo menos dois dos testes aplicados. Especificamente, 71,4% (n=5) apresentaram alterações nos testes da Bateria Psicológica para Avaliação da Atenção, com comprometimento observado nas atenções concentrada (n=1), dividida (n=3), ou alternada (n=4). Além disso, 28,6% (n=2) demonstraram comprometimento na Fluência Verbal Fonológica, 28,6% (n=2) exibiram dificuldades na cópia da Figura Complexa de Rey e um paciente obteve desempenho alterado no Teste dos Cinco Dígitos, todos indicando disfunção executiva. Conclusão: Este estudo fornece evidência de que o declínio cognitivo associado à SVCR é mais prevalente do que se acreditava anteriormente. Especialmente, os domínios mais significativamente comprometidos foram a atenção e as funções executivas. RESUMO anos .

ABSTRACT. Despite the increasing knowledge in the past years, only minimal attention has been directed to the neuropsychological aspects and the prevalence of cognitive impairment associated with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). Objective: To describe the frequency and expand the understanding of cognitive dysfunction in RCVS. Methods: The neuropsychological evaluation was performed using a battery consisting of specific neuropsychological instruments that were administered to patients diagnosed with RCVS. A triage was conducted to exclude other potential causes of cognitive impairment. Performance on the tests was treated as a categorical variable, and a cutoff of −1.5 Z-score was adopted to indicate impaired performance. Results: Seven patients diagnosed with RCVS were evaluated, all of whom had a bachelor's degree and normal score in the Mini-Mental State Examination. The average time between diagnosis and neuropsychological evaluation was 1.8 years. Among the patients, 85.6% (n=6) exhibited performance below that of the normal population in at least two of the administered tests. Specifically, 71.4% (n=5) showed alterations in tests from the Psychological Battery for Attention Assessment, with impairment observed in concentrated (n=1), divided (n=3), or alternating (n=4) attention. Furthermore, 28.6% (n=2) demonstrated impairments in the Phonological Verbal Fluency Task, another 28.6% (n=2) exhibited difficulties copying elements of the Rey Complex Figure, and 14.3% (n=1) displayed lower performance in the Five-Digit test, all indicating executive dysfunction. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that cognitive impairment associated with RCVS is more prevalent than previously believed and has not received sufficient attention. Specifically, attention and executive functions are the cognitive domains most significantly impacted by RCVS. ABSTRACT years . (RCVS) Objective Methods variable 15 1 5 −1.

Resumo Antecedentes O complexo da esclerose tuberosa (CET) é uma doença genética autossômica dominante com ampla expressividade clínica, cognitiva e comportamental. Objetivo Avaliar o perfil neuropsicológico de indivíduos com diagnóstico clínico de CET e os fatores que poderiam impactar significativamente o seu desenvolvimento cognitivo. Métodos Ao todo, 62 indivíduos com idades entre 3 e 38 anos foram acompanhados em um hospital terciário do Sul do Brasil e avaliados por meio de uma bateria padrão e das Escalas de Comportamento Adaptativo Vineland, quando observada deficiência intelectual. Resultados Encontrou-se histórico de epilepsia em 56 participantes (90,3%) e de deficiência intelectual em 31 (50%). Quanto à outra metade dos indivíduos com CET sem deficiência intelectual, 8 (12,9%) apresentaram classificação limítrofe, 20 (32,2%) apresentaram pontuações médias e 3 (4,8%) estavam acima da média. No total, 17 participantes (27,4%) preenchiam os critérios diagnósticos para o transtorno do espectro autista. Os resultados da análise de regressão linear múltipla sugeriram que as crises epilépticas, a idade ao diagnóstico, a percepção visual e a atenção geral impactam significativamente os índices de desempenho cognitivo. Conclusão Este estudo sugere que a ocorrência de crises epilépticas e a maior idade ao diagnóstico contribuem para um maior comprometimento nos domínios do desenvolvimento cognitivo, e destaca-se a importância do diagnóstico precoce e da prevenção das crises epilépticas ou do seu rápido controle.

Abstract Background Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with a wide clinical, cognitive, and behavioral expressivity. Objective To assess the neuropsychological profile of individuals clinically diagnosed with TSC and the factors that could significantly impact their cognitive development. Methods A total of 62 individuals with ages ranging from 3 to 38 years were followed up in a tertiary attention hospital in Southern Brazil, and they were assessed using a standard battery and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, when intellectual disability was observed. Results History of epilepsy was found in 56 participants (90.3%), and 31 (50%) presented an intellectual disability. Among the other half of TSC individuals without intellectual disability, 8 (12.9%) presented borderline classification, 20 (32.2%) presented average scores, and 3 (4.8%) were above average. In total, 17 participants (27.4%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis suggested that seizures, age at diagnosis, visual perception, and general attention significantly impact cognitive performance indexes. Conclusion The present study suggests that the occurrence of epileptic seizures and older age at diagnosis contribute to higher impairment in the domains of cognitive development, underlining the importance of early diagnosis and the prevention of epileptic seizures or their rapid control. The development of attentional skills, visual perception, and executive functions must be followed up.

Resumo Introdução A interocepção é relativamente nova na prática da terapia ocupacional pediátrica. A interocepção nos permite sentir e interpretar sensações internas do corpo e está relacionada à nossa capacidade de regular emoções e comportamentos. Está associado a outras funções, incluindo processamento sensorial, autorregulação e funcionamento executivo, tornando-o importante para a participação diária nas atividades da vida. Os terapeutas ocupacionais pediátricos estão considerando a interocepção como parte da intervenção, mas há pesquisas limitadas para entender como e por que os terapeutas ocupacionais usam a interocepção na prática clínica. Objetivos O objetivo deste protocolo é descrever a metodologia e as análises a serem utilizadas para realizar uma revisão de escopo. Método Este artigo apresenta o protocolo para uma revisão de escopo. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de literatura em dez bases de dados eletrônicas (Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Ovid PsycINFO, ERIC, Scopus, CINAHL, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, AMED, OTDBASE e Google Scholar), literatura cinzenta e pesquisa de referências de artigos. A triagem do título e do resumo foi concluída antes da revisão do texto completo. Os artigos selecionados atenderam a critérios de inclusão rigorosos. A lista de verificação PRISMA-ScR foi usada juntamente com a Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool para garantir a extração e síntese robusta de dados dos estudos selecionados. Resultados Foram recuperados 2.449 artigos. Dezoito artigos foram incluídos na revisão. Uma abordagem de síntese narrativa será usada para sintetizar os dados. Conclusão Os resultados desta revisão de escopo informarão pesquisas futuras relacionadas à interocepção e à prática de terapia ocupacional pediátrica para apoiar os médicos a considerarem evidências para sustentar a prática. comportamentos funções sensorial executivo tornandoo tornando vida intervenção clínica Medline Embase PsycINFO ERIC Scopus CINAHL Global AMED Scholar, Scholar , Scholar) completo rigorosos PRISMAScR PRISMA ScR 2449 2 449 2.44 244 44 2.4 24 4 2.

Abstract Introduction Interoception is relatively new within pediatric occupational therapy practice. Interoception allows us to feel and interpret internal body sensations and is related to our ability to regulate emotions and behavior. It is associated with other functions including sensory processing, self-regulation and executive functioning, making it important for everyday participation in life activities. Pediatric occupational therapists are considering interoception as part of intervention but there is limited research to understand how and why occupational therapists use interoception in clinical practice. Objectives The aim of this protocol is to describe the methodology and analyses to be used to undertake a scoping review. Method This paper presents the protocol for a scoping review. A search of literature from ten electronic databases (Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Ovid PsycINFO, ERIC, Scopus, CINAHL, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, AMED, OTDBASE and Google Scholar), grey literature and article reference searching was conducted. Title and abstract screening was completed before full-text review. Selected articles met stringent inclusion criteria. The PRISMA-ScR Checklist was used alongside the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool to ensure robust data extraction and synthesis from selected studies. Results A total of 2449 articles were retrieved. Eighteen articles were included in the review. A narrative synthesis approach will be used to synthesise data. Conclusion Findings from this scoping review will inform future research related to interoception and pediatric occupational therapy practice to support clinicians to consider evidence to underpin practice. behavior processing selfregulation self regulation functioning activities Medline Embase PsycINFO ERIC Scopus CINAHL Global AMED Scholar, Scholar , Scholar) conducted fulltext full text criteria PRISMAScR PRISMA ScR studies 244 retrieved 24 2
