Uma reflexão sobre o currículo em espaços formais e não formais de ensino nas trilhas do multiculturalismo presente no Ciclo do Marabaixo

O artigo promove uma reflexão a respeito do currículo e as relações dos saberes multiculturais presentes no Ciclo do Marabaixo, e a prática desses conhecimentos em espaços formais e não formais de ensino. Os estudos são pautados em Candau (2010, 2012), Munanga (2005), Jacobucci (2008), Hall (2014, 2015), Silva (1999, 2014), Moreira (1999) Lopes e Macedo (2011), e entre outros. A pesquisa enquadra-se como etnográfica e tem caráter qualitativo, descritivo e documental. Considerou-se a análise descritiva, como suporte teórico para a análise dos dados. Usa-se como técnicas de coleta de dados: observação participante, entrevista semiestruturada e diário de campo. Os participantes foram: alunos do ensino médio integrado dos Cursos Técnico do Instituto Federal do Amapá- Campus Santana; professores de história, artes, sociologia; e membros da Associação Cultural Berço das Tradições Amapaenses- Marabaixo da Favela: Barracão Tia Gertrudes. Os estudos apontaram que o currículo é um dispositivo de poder, onde saberes, identidades e culturas são incluídas ou excluídas do processo educacional em espaços formais de ensino. Outro aspecto revelado, foi a potência e a importância dos espaços não formais de ensino como as associações culturais, no que diz respeito à conscientização e à valorização dos saberes multiculturais presentes na cultura popular; em especial o Ciclo do Marabaixo que acontece no estado do Amapá

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation.

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Genome of Anopheles darlingi, the main neotropical malaria vector

Anopheles darlingi is the principal neotropical malaria vector, responsible for more than a million cases of malaria per year on the American continent. Anopheles darlingi diverged from the African and Asian malaria vectors ∼100 million years ago (mya) and successfully adapted to the New World environment. Here we present an annotated reference A. darlingi genome, sequenced from a wild population of males and females collected in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 10 481 predicted protein-coding genes were annotated, 72% of which have their closest counterpart in Anopheles gambiae and 21% have highest similarity with other mosquito species. In spite of a long period of divergent evolution, conserved gene synteny was observed between A. darlingi and A. gambiae. More than 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms and short indels with potential use as genetic markers were identified. Transposable elements correspond to 2.3% of the A. darlingi genome. Genes associated with hematophagy, immunity and insecticide resistance, directly involved in vectorhuman and vectorparasite interactions, were identified and discussed. This study represents the first effort to sequence the genome of a neotropical malaria vector, and opens a new window through which we can contemplate the evolutionary history of anopheline mosquitoes. It also provides valuable information that may lead to novel strategies to reduce malaria transmission on the South American continent.

Mammals in Portugal: a data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in Portugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is crucial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublished georeferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mammals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira that includes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occurring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live observations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%), bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent less than 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrows | soil mounds | tunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animal | hair | skulls | jaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8), observation in shelters, (9) photo trapping | video, (10) predators diet | pellets | pine cones/nuts, (11) scat | track | ditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalization | echolocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and 100 m (76%). Rodentia (n =31,573) has the highest number of records followed by Chiroptera (n = 18,857), Carnivora (n = 18,594), Lagomorpha (n = 17,496), Cetartiodactyla (n = 11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n = 7008).

Formação continuada de professores em alguns estados e municípios do Brasil.

O objetivo deste estudo é verificar como se dá a formação continuada de professores em diferentes estados e municípios brasileiros. A coleta de dados incluiu entrevistas com pessoas envolvidas na formação continuada, em dezenove secretarias municipais e estaduais de educação de diferentes regiões do país. Os resultados mostraram a presença de ações orientadas basicamente para as séries iniciais do ensino fundamental, privilegiando as áreas de Língua Portuguesa e Matemática. Duas perspectivas foram encontradas: a individualizada, que busca valorizar o próprio professor, sanando suas dificuldades de formação, e a colaborativa, que se centra em atividades realizadas predominantemente nas escolas, com ênfase no trabalho partilhado. Grande parte dessas secretarias considera que modalidades de formação mais duradouras e sistemáticas são mais produtivas, porque levam os docentes a modificar sua prática pedagógica. Há marcada dificuldade em avaliar e acompanhar a aprendizagem dos docentes ao término de sua participação nas ações de formação continuada. No momento atual, o estudo aponta a importância de as secretarias implementarem, simultaneamente, modalidades voltadas para o professor e para a escola, além de elaborar políticas educacionais internamente mais bem articuladas e mais harmônicas com as demais políticas voltadas para o magistério. Essas parecem ser as melhores alternativas para atualizar os conhecimentos e habilidades necessários para os docentes se aprimorarem em sua profissão
