In2CoP 2020 - International Conference on Co-Creation Processes in Higher Education 2020: book of abstracts

A Cocriação e a Inovação no Ensino Superior representam um dos principais compromissos do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB), cuja atividade formativa e de investigação se orienta, de forma sinérgica, para a cooperação com as empresas e instituições da região. O IPB pretende contribuir, de forma ativa, para uma economia regional baseada no conhecimento e com uma forte articulação internacional. Nesta esteira, teve lugar, na cidade de Bragança, nos dias 29 a 30 de janeiro de 2020, a Conferência Internacional em Processos de Cocriação no Ensino Superior (In2CoP). Privilegiamos um espaço de reflexão de processos e de partilha de resultados de ecossistemas de cocriação, visando o desenvolvimento de uma comunidade de aprendizagem integradora, interdisciplinar e multicultural. Ao longo dos três dias da conferência, mais de 150 conferencistas, nacionais e estrangeiros, participaram, ativamente, nas diversas atividades propostas: uma sessão plenária com seis intervenções, quatro workshops e uma sessão pitch com a apresentação de trinta e seis projetos de inovação e cocriação. Com um espírito inovador, as atividades decorreram no campus do IPB e em espaços emblemáticos da cidade de Bragança, designadamente: Centro de Arte Contemporânea Graças Morais, Centro de Fotografia Georges Dussaud e Centro de Ciência Viva. Foi ainda realizada uma visita social ao Museu do Côa em Vila Nova de Foz Côa.Co-creation and Innovation in Higher Education represents one of the main commitments of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), whose training and research activity is synergistically oriented towards cooperation with companies and institutions in the region.

In this context, the International Conference on Co-Creation Processes in Higher Education (In2CoP) took place in the city of Bragança, on January 29-30, 2020. We privilege a space for reflection of processes and sharing of results from co-creation ecosystems, aiming at the development of an integrative, interdisciplinary, and multicultural learning community. Over the three days of the conference, more than 150 national and foreign conferencists actively participated in the various activities proposed: a plenary session with six interventions, four workshops, and a pitch session with the presentation of thirty-six innovation and co-creation projects. With an innovative spirit, the activities took place in IPB's campus and in emblematic spaces in the city of Bragança, namely: Centro de Arte Contemporânea Graças Morais, Centro de Fotografia Georges Dussaud and Centro de Ciência Viva.

Early life child micronutrient status, maternal reasoning, and a nurturing household environment have persistent influences on child cognitive development at age 5 years: Results from MAL-ED

Background: Child cognitive development is influenced by early-life insults and protective factors. To what extent these factors have a long-term legacy on child development and hence fulfillment of cognitive potential is unknown. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relation between early-life factors (birth to 2 y) and cognitive development at 5 y. Methods: Observational follow-up visits were made of children at 5 y, previously enrolled in the community-based MAL-ED longitudinal cohort. The burden of enteropathogens, prevalence of illness, complementary diet intake, micronutrient status, and household and maternal factors from birth to 2 y were extensively measured and their relation with the Wechsler Preschool Primary Scales of Intelligence at 5 y was examined through use of linear regression. Results: Cognitive T-scores from 813 of 1198 (68%) children were examined and 5 variables had significant associations in multivariable models: mean child plasma transferrin receptor concentration (β: −1.81, 95% CI: −2.75, −0.86), number of years of maternal education (β: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.45), maternal cognitive reasoning score (β: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.15), household assets score (β: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.24, 1.04), and HOME child cleanliness factor (β: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.05, 1.15). In multivariable models, the mean rate of enteropathogen detections, burden of illness, and complementary food intakes between birth and 2 y were not significantly related to 5-y cognition. Conclusions: A nurturing home context in terms of a healthy/clean environment and household wealth, provision of adequate micronutrients, maternal education, and cognitive reasoning have a strong and persistent influence on child cognitive development. Efforts addressing aspects of poverty around micronutrient status, nurturing caregiving, and enabling home environments are likely to have lasting positive impacts on child cognitive development.publishedVersio
