Get PDFEste artigo apresenta o relato de
experiência do Programa de Educação Tutorial
em Odontologia da Universidade de Brasília,
durante o período de março a dezembro de
2010. O cenário de prática das atividades
de campo é a Regional Administrativa do
Itapoã, no Distrito Federal, e a atuação do
grupo tutorial acontece junto às Equipes
de Saúde da Família por meio de rotinas
educativo-preventivas em saúde bucal durante
as visitas domiciliares, atividades clínicas
e desenvolvimento de pesquisas. Alunos e
preceptores estão sendo capazes de reconhecer
os determinantes sociais do processo saúdedoença,
analisar os indicadores de saúde bucal
da população, aprimorar práticas educativas
utilizadas na Estratégia Saúde da Família e
promover saúde no âmbito da comunidade.
As principais dificuldades encontradas dizem
respeito a limitação de espaço físico e de
recursos capazes de atender a demanda do
grupo tutorial e das famílias assistidas. Esta
experiência tutorial junto à Estratégia Saúde
da Família possibilita um aprendizado que vai
muito mais além do que a tradição de ensino
bio-tecnicista da odontologia, bem como
permite aos discentes de odontologia da UnB
‘vivenciar uma experiência real’ e refletir sobre
os conhecimentos teóricos obtidos nos ‘bancos
da universidade’. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThis paper presents an
experience report of the Tutorial Program
in Dentistry from the University of Brasília,
during the period from March to December,
2010. The scenario of practice is the Itapoã -
an Administrative Area of the Distrito Federal
- and the activities of the tutorial group take
place in partnership with the Family Health
Team through a preventive educational oral
health routine during home visits, as well
as clinical activities and development of
research. Students and preceptors are being
able to recognize the social determinants
of the health-disease process, analyze oral
health indicators of the population, improve
educational practices and promote health
within the community. The main barriers of the
tutorial group are the lack of physical space
and dental equipment capable of meeting the
demand of the tutorial group and assisted
families. This tutorial experience within the
Family Health Strategy provides a learning
experience that goes far beyond the tradition
of teaching bio-technicalities of dentistry,
as well as allows dental students real to live
through a real field experience and reflect on
the theoretical knowledge obtained from the
‘university seats’. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ RESUMENEste documento presenta
el relato de la experiencia del Programa de

población, mejorando las prácticas educativas
utilizadas en la estrategia de salud familiar
y promoviendo la salud en la comunidad.
Las principales dificultades se refieren a
la limitación del espacio físico y el equipo
dental capaces de satisfacer la demanda del
grupo tutorial y de las famílias atendidas.
Esta actividad tutorial con la Estrategia de
Salud de la Família ofrece una experiencia de
aprendizaje que vá más allá de la tradición de
la enseñanza de técnicas bio-odontológicas, así
como permite a los estudiantes de odontología
de la UnB “pasar una verdadera experiencia”
y reflexionar sobre el conocimiento teórico

From the field to the pot: phytochemical and functional analyses of Calendula officinalis l. flower for incorporation in an organic yogurt
No full textEdible flowers have been used as ingredients because of their biological activities, taste, and overall appearance. This research was aimed to characterize the chemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of the marigold flower (Calendula officinalis L.) extracted with different proportions of water and ethyl alcohol, and the lyophilized extract with higher content of antioxidant compounds was incorporated into an organic yogurt. Results showed that the hydroalcoholic extract (50:50 v/v) presented the highest total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoids, and antioxidant activity (ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total reducing capacity (TRC), and Cu2+/Fe2+ chelating ability). Phenolic acids and flavonoids were quantified in the extract by LC-DAD, while 19 compounds were tentatively identified by ESI-MS/MS. The lyophilized marigold extract (LME) also inhibited 12% of Wistar rat's brain lipid oxidation in vitro, inhibited alpha-amylase, and alpha-glucosidase activities, but showed no cytotoxicity towards cancerous cells (HCT8 and A549). However, marigold flower extract protected human erythrocytes against mechanical stress. When added into an organic yogurt model (0 to 1.5%), LME increased TPC and antioxidant activity (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and TRC), and the sensory analysis showed that the organic yogurt had an acceptance of 80.4%. Our results show that the use of LME may be a technological strategy to increase the content of bioactive compounds in yogurts811CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPES302763/2014-7; 305804/2017-0; 303188/2016-2sem informaçãoThe authors thank PROAP/CAPES for partially funding the research, Fundação Araucária and CAPES for the graduate scholarships, C-LABMU-UEPG and C-LABMU-SEBISA-UEPG (Complexo de LaboratóriosMultiusuários da UEPG) for the infrastructure used to perform the experimental work.

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network
No full textInternational audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
