Italians


The peak period of Italian immigration to the United States occurred between 1880 and 1921, when approximately 4.2 million Italians came to America. The vast majority of these immigrants, about 80 percent, hailed from the Mezzogiorno in southern Italy, a region in the midst of great tumult and hardship. Having only been officially unified in 1860, political tension between the government in the north and the rural peasants in the south increased in the 1870s, when the government placed an onerous tax on wheat and salt, which were necessities for southern farmers and fishermen. In the 1880s, disease ravaged both staple and cash crops; malaria and other epidemics also devastated southern Italy during this period. Additionally, a series of earthquakes and the eruptions of Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius in the early 1900s destroyed cities and killed tens of thousands of people.

Conditions in the United States during this era appeared to be very favorable to many in southern Italy. Wages for both skilled and unskilled laborers in the industrialized US could be three times greater than wages for the same work in the depressed Italian economy. Even illiterate day laborers could find better paying jobs with better working conditions in cities like Boston. In the late nineteenth century, Italian immigrants were often referred to as "birds of passage"−young men who migrated alone, earning money to buy land and support their families at home and eventually returning to Italy. After World War I, however, immigration patterns changed and more Italian immigrants began to bring their families over and put down permanent roots in the region.

Patterns of Settlement

Boston's North End neighborhood became the locus of Italian settlement in eastern New England. Once the home of English colonists and revolutionaries like Paul Revere, Irish and Jewish immigrants settled in the North End before the wave of Italian immigration in the late 1800s. By the early 20th century, the North End was densely filled with tenements, in which tens of thousands of Italians lived. Much of the appeal of the North End for immigrant groups was its proximity to work opportunities on the waterfront and in downtown Boston. By 1920, over 50 percent of Italian immigrants in Boston lived in the North End. Those who could afford more spacious dwellings moved across the harbor to East Boston, which by the mid-twentieth century became the city's largest Italian-American community. Others moved to nearby suburbs such as Somerville, Revere and Saugus, especially after World War II. But even as immigrants and their children moved to these areas, many Italian small businesses and restaurants remained in the North End, and it is still an important center of Italian culture in New England.

Workforce Participation

Most Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries worked menial, unskilled jobs upon their arrival in Boston, as day laborers, dockworkers, or fruit sellers. Others opened shops and small businesses, and some skilled workers (like tailors) found higher-paying jobs. In neighborhoods like the North End and East Boston, immigrants operated Italian restaurants that attracted a growing clientele from across the city. For the earlier "birds of passage," though, assimilating into the wider American culture was not a priority; for more permanent Italian settlers, cultural obstacles such as the language barrier and lower levels of education made upward mobility difficult. Within a few generations, however, Italian Americans in Boston became better educated and were able to move into middle-class and professional occupations, including some of the highest echelons of business and politics.

A prescrição de exercícios físicos, seja para saúde ou desempenho, deve seguir diretrizes claras para garantir a segurança e a eficácia do programa. O acrônimo FITT-VP é um modelo amplamente utilizado pelo Colégio Americano de Medicina Esportiva (ACSM) para estruturar as variáveis da prescrição, especialmente para o condicionamento cardiorrespiratório. Acerca dos componentes do FITT-VP, registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__) "F" refere-se à Frequência (quantas vezes por semana), e "I" refere-se à Intensidade (o quão difícil é o esforço, ex: % da Frequência Cardíaca Máxima).
(__) "T" (primeiro) refere-se ao Treinamento (local onde será feito), e "T" (segundo) refere-se à Tática (estratégia de treino).
(__) "V" refere-se ao Volume (produto da Frequência, Intensidade e Tempo), e "P" refere-se à Progressão (como o treino evolui).
(__) "T" (primeiro) refere-se ao Tempo (duração da sessão), e "T" (segundo) refere-se ao Tipo (modalidade, ex: correr, nadar).

Q3794463 Educação Física
A aquisição de uma nova habilidade motora, seja no esporte ou na reabilitação, é um processo complexo que envolve mudanças no sistema nervoso central e na performance. O modelo de Fitts e Posner (1967) é uma das teorias mais utilizadas para descrever a progressão da aprendizagem, dividindo-a em três estágios distintos. Compreender esses estágios permite ao Educador Físico adequar a instrução e o tipo de feedback. Assinale a alternativa CORRETA que descreve o Estágio Cognitivo da aprendizagem.

Q3794462 Educação Física
A Educação Física escolar contemporânea visa a formação integral do aluno, superando a visão de que a aula se resume ao "saber fazer". Para isso, autores como Suraya Darido (baseada em Zabala) propõem o trabalho articulado das três dimensões do conteúdo (conceitual, procedimental e atitudinal), conforme também sugerido pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs). Acerca dessas dimensões, registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__) A dimensão Procedimental refere-se ao "saber fazer", ou seja, a execução da habilidade motora (ex: driblar, dançar).
(__) A dimensão Conceitual refere-se ao "saber fazer", ou seja, a compreensão de regras, história e conceitos fisiológicos.
(__) A dimensão Atitudinal refere-se ao "saber ser", envolvendo valores como respeito, cooperação e solidariedade.
(__) A dimensão Conceitual refere-se ao "saber sobre", ou seja, a compreensão de regras, história e conceitos fisiológicos.

Assinale a alternativa que apresenta a sequência CORRETA, de cima para baixo.

Q3794461 Educação Física
O Princípio da Especificidade é um dos pilares do treinamento desportivo, estabelecendo que as adaptações fisiológicas ao exercício são altamente específicas ao tipo de estímulo aplicado. Isso significa que o Educador Físico deve prescrever exercícios que mimetizem as demandas da modalidade ou do objetivo do cliente, pois a transferência de ganhos entre atividades diferentes é limitada. Analise as afirmativas a seguir sobre a especificidade:

I. A especificidade metabólica dita que o treinamento de resistência aeróbica (ex: maratona) não melhora significativamente a performance em eventos anaeróbicos (ex: sprint de 100m).
II. A especificidade neuromuscular dita que o treinamento de força em baixa velocidade (hipertrofia) tem pouca transferência para movimentos de alta velocidade (potência).
III. O Princípio da Especificidade afirma que qualquer tipo de exercício (ex: natação) fortalece o coração de forma genérica, melhorando o desempenho em qualquer outra atividade (ex: ciclismo).

Q3794460 Educação Física
A produção de Adenosina Trifosfato (ATP) para a contração muscular é garantida pela interação dos três sistemas energéticos (sistema de fosfagênios Adenosina Trifosfato−Creatina Fosfato − ATP-CP, sistema Glicolítico e sistema Oxidativo). Um equívoco comum é acreditar que esses sistemas funcionam como "interruptores" (liga/desliga). Na realidade, eles atuam simultaneamente, com a predominância de um sobre os outros dependendo da intensidade e duração do esforço. Assinale a alternativa que descreve CORRETAMENTE essa interação.

Q3794459 Pedagogia
A avaliação da aprendizagem escolar, conforme discutido por Cipriano Luckesi, deve ser um instrumento a serviço da aprendizagem, e não apenas um mecanismo de classificação ou seleção. Ele diferencia a avaliação diagnóstica (ou formativa) da avaliação somativa (exame). A avaliação formativa é um pilar do planejamento pedagógico, pois fornece subsídios para o professor ajustar sua prática. Assinale a alternativa que descreve CORRETAMENTE a função da avaliação formativa (diagnóstica).

Q3794458 Sociologia
 A compreensão do jogo (ludus) como um fenômeno cultural fundamental foi extensamente analisada por Johan Huizinga, que o definiu não como uma simples atividade biológica, mas como a base da própria cultura. Para ele, o jogo é uma ação voluntária, desinteressada e praticada dentro de limites próprios de tempo e espaço. Analise as afirmativas a seguir sobre as características do jogo segundo Huizinga:

I. O jogo é caracterizado por ter um "fim em si mesmo" (autotélico), sendo desprovido de interesse material imediato.
II. O jogo cria uma ordem temporária e um espaço simbólico separado da vida comum, que o autor denomina "círculo mágico".
III. O jogo é uma atividade exclusiva da infância, que perde sua função e desaparece na vida adulta "séria".

Q3794456 Educação Física
A prescrição de exercícios físicos para idosos requer atenção especial às mudanças fisiológicas do envelhecimento, como a sarcopenia (perda de massa muscular) e a osteoporose (perda de massa óssea). O treinamento de força é particularmente importante para esta população, visando a manutenção da funcionalidade, autonomia e prevenção de quedas. Analise as afirmativas a seguir sobre o treinamento de força para idosos:

I. O treinamento de força é altamente recomendado para idosos, pois ajuda a combater a sarcopenia, melhora a densidade mineral óssea e aumenta a força muscular.
II. O treinamento de força em idosos causa hipertrofia, mas não melhora a densidade mineral óssea, sendo ineficaz contra a osteoporose.
III. A melhoria da força muscular em idosos está diretamente ligada à redução do risco de quedas, pois melhora o equilíbrio, a potência e a capacidade de reação.

Q3794455 Educação Física
Durante o exercício físico, o sistema endócrino ajusta a liberação de hormônios para garantir a mobilização de substratos energéticos (glicose e ácidos graxos) e a manutenção da homeostase. A insulina e o glucagon (pancreáticos), juntamente com as catecolaminas (adrenalina e noradrenalina), são os principais reguladores do metabolismo energético durante o esforço. Analise as afirmativas a seguir sobre essas respostas hormonais:

I. Durante o exercício, os níveis de adrenalina e noradrenalina aumentam, estimulando a glicogenólise (quebra do glicogênio) no fígado e nos músculos, e a lipólise (quebra de gordura) no tecido adiposo.
II. Os níveis de insulina tendem a diminuir durante o exercício (apesar da presença de glicose), enquanto os níveis de glucagon tendem a aumentar, favorecendo a liberação de glicose pelo fígado.
III. O treinamento crônico (adaptação) torna o corpo mais sensível à insulina, fazendo com que o indivíduo precise liberar menos insulina em repouso para controlar a glicemia.
