Objective To compare bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition (BC) of college students with different lifestyles. Methods Transversal study with 85 students of Medicine (MED) and Physical Education (PE) at the Universidade Regional de Blumenau, SC, Brazil. The anthropometric, socio-demographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables were obtained through densitometric anamnesis and densitometric variables by dual-energy X-ray (DXA). The statistical tests used were: Student's t-test, Chi-square test, and logistic regression. Results PE male students showed a higher amount of lean body mass (79.5 ± 5.9 vs. 75.1 ± 5.3; p = 0.03) and a lower amount of body fat (16.7 ± 6.1 vs. 21.6 ± 5.6; p = 0.02) and PE female students showed a higher amount of lean body mass (68.2 ± 5.5 vs. 65.3 ± 5.5; p = 0.05). The BMD of the neck of femur (NOF), total femur (TF), and total body (TB) was higher in PE students of both genders. PE students practiced more physical activities than MED students. Low bone mass (LBM) was more frequent in MED students (34.9% vs. 4.7%; p = 0.001), provided that the risk of a MED student to show LBM was nine times higher for lumbar spine (LS), five times for NOF, eight times for TF, and seven times for TB. Conclusion BC and BMD were different among the students; MED students have shown a higher risk of having LBM, and PE students practiced more physical activities.

A new automatic system to detect pathologies in human brain magnetic resonance (MR) images is presented. The goal is to classify normal versus abnormal images affected by Alzheimer, Glioma, Herpes, Metastatic, and Multiple Sclerosis. The extracted features are the fractal dimension of edges in the Hilbert domain, and the skewness and kurtosis of their spectral energy distribution. The proposed system (FDSE) outperforms the popular discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and principal component analysis (PCA).

E-learning: The modern technologies in education and research aims to build a society based on knowledge. In this paper we will describe the advantages of e-learning education and the importance of data allocation in the process of designing a distributed database system. In addition, we are going to analyze the available strategies for optimizing the query execution in a distributed environment, in order to obtain the smallest system response time. The purpose of this paper is to present the advantages offered by the use of distributed databases in the education field by universities with geographically distributed locations.

Security is an important issue in the actual educational context where e-learning increases in popularity and more and more people are taking online courses. There are many important elements that must be taken into account: authentication, access control, data integrity, content protection, etc. Information security can be obtained using methods such as cryptography and network protocols. In this paper we will highlight some key security issues that must be taken into consideration in developing and using an e-learning platform. We will also examine some security aspects of one of the most popular open-source e-learning systems: Moodle.
