Catira Digital: popular dances in physical education classes in remote format

Este artigo relata o trato com a Catira, uma dança popular típica da região centro-oeste do Brasil, nas aulas de Educação Física em formato remoto. As intervenções foram planejadas para três turmas do 1° ano do ensino fundamental, de uma escola pública do município de Senador Canedo, durante o segundo módulo do Programa de Residência Pedagógica. Ao longo do planejamento, nos aproximando da metodologia crítico-superadora, tivemos como objetivo apresentar conceitos importantes das danças populares, além de possibilitar a vivência, em formato remoto de forma assíncrona, da Catira. Após as intervenções, constatamos um baixo número de alunos que participam das aulas de Educação Física em formato remoto. Nota-se, portanto, que esse formato de ensino que privilegia apenas aqueles que possuem acesso à internet e às tecnologias, não cumpre com o real papel da educação pública: ser o local de ensino democrático.En este trabajo, vamos a presentar un relato acerca del Catira, una danza popular típica de la región centro-oeste de Brasil, en clases de Educación Física en forma remota.

The interventions were planned for three classes of the 1st year of Elementary School, from a public school in the city of Senador Canedo, during the second module of the Residência Pedagógica Program. Throughout the planning, approaching the critical-overcoming methodology, we aimed to present important concepts of popular dances, in addition to making it possible to experience Catira in a remote format and in a asynchronous form. After the interventions, we found a low number of students who participate in Physical Education classes in remote format. It is noted, therefore, that this teaching format that privileges only those who have access to the internet and technologies, does not fulfill the real function of public education: to be the place of democratic teaching

Para entender a cultura corporal: uma introdução para estudantes de ensino médio

Este texto apresenta os principais conceitos e atividades que constituem a Cultura Corporal, com ênfase no público leitor de “alunos de Ensino Médio”. Partimos de uma pesquisa bibliográfica nos clássicos da Educação Física (crítico-superadora) e de um mapeamento de manifestações concretas do jogo, dança, luta, ginástica, esportes e práticas de aventura. A exposição delineou o seguinte caminho: I) Introdução a questão “o que é Cultura Corporal”, características essenciais (controle de si, controle da ação do outro e projeção artística) e dimensões gerais dos sentidos e finalidades (competitivas, lúdicas, estéticas, históricas, de aventura, políticas, éticas, morais, entre outras); II) Identificação de diferentes manifestações da Cultura Corporal; III) Exposição dos determinantes de cada atividade da Cultura Corporal. Consideramos que essa síntese pode contribuir pedagogicamente para a compreensão dos estudantes de Ensino Médio e trabalho educativo dos professores, sobre a Cultura Corporal, para além do senso comum, pela mediação de conceitos

Esportes de raquete: uma possibilidade de intervenção para as aulas de Educação Física na Educação Infantil

In this work, we will present the report about the treatment with sport in Physical Education classes in Child Education, from the Critical-Surpassing methodological approach, using Racket Sports (Tennis and Table Tennis) as the central axis of the classes. The interventions were planned for two classes in the grouping of five years old, from a public school in the city of Goiânia. At the end of the interventions carried out, we realized the feasibility, the importance and the need to teach the contents of body culture in Child Education, among them, the various sports.En este trabajo, vamos a presentar un relato acerca del deporte en las clases de Educación Física en la Educación Infantil, desde el enfoque metodológico Crítico-Soperador, utilizando los Deportes de Raqueta (Tenis y Tenis de Mesa) como el eje central de las clases.

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

Transtorno bipolar em crianças: análise de relato de caso 2018-2023

O transtorno bipolar em crianças é uma realidade clínica que demanda atenção especializada. A compreensão dos sintomas, fatores de risco, prevalência e desafios diagnósticos é fundamental para proporcionar intervenções precoces e adequadas, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida desses jovens e reduzir o impacto a longo prazo dessa condição psiquiátrica. Trata-se de um estudo cujo objetivo foi objetivo revisar relatos de caso publicados entre 2018 e 2023 sobre transtorno bipolar em crianças, identificando o estado da arte desses estudos. Para isso, se realizou uma revisão sistemática de literatura utilizando as bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Com a análise e interpretação qualitativa dos resultados, a principal conclusão deste estudo é que o transtorno bipolar na infância é uma condição complexa, manifestando-se com comportamentos consistentes com o Transtorno de Conduta e sendo influenciado por fatores ambientais, familiares e genéticos. O tratamento eficaz requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar, integrando intervenções farmacológicas e não farmacológicas, personalizadas conforme as necessidades individuais. A supervisão familiar é crucial para a adesão ao tratamento, mas reconhece-se a necessidade contínua de pesquisa para aprimorar as estratégias terapêuticas diante da diversidade de casos

Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search

Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.Peer reviewe

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others
