Políticas públicas de esporte x educação física:uma lógica de mercadorização e espetacularização do fenômeno esportivo / Public sport policies x physical education: a logic for marketing and spectacularization of the sports phenomenon

O presente artigo traz uma reflexão sobre as Políticas Públicas de Esporte e a Educação Física apresentando como o fenômeno esporte aparece de maneira mercadorizada e espetacularizada no chão da escola na atual conjuntura devido aos megaeventos esportivos. O Programa de Formação Esportiva Atleta na Escola aparece no contexto escolar enquanto possibilidade de selecionar atletas para representar o país nas Olímpiadas em 2016. É possível constatar que as Políticas do Esporte Educacional historicamente vem sendo inseridas numa lógica de mercadorização e espetacularização esportiva sem nenhuma articulação com a prática de esporte nas escolas brasileiras nos possibilitando refletir sobre o ensino deste conteúdo a partir de princípios que garantam o acesso ao mesmo

Ausência de política pública para formação docente do nível superior: Reflexões sobre as avaliações externas dos egressos dos cursos de direito e a educação jurídica / Lack of public policy for higher education training: Reflections on external evaluations of law school graduates and legal education

 O presente artigo tem o objetivo discutir a ausência de uma política pública de formação docente para o ensino superior a partir da análise dos processos avaliativos aos quais são submetidos os estudantes de direito. Os resultados mostram que a maioria dos docentes desses cursos não possui uma formação pedagógica específica e utiliza, em grande parte, a mera transmissão dos conteúdos que aprenderam enquanto alunos como didática de ensino. Vale dizer que, o interesse despertado para averiguar a situação apresentada faz parte de uma pesquisa maior, financiada pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico – CNPq, cujo objetivo foi analisar as semelhanças e diferenças existentes entre os processos de elaboração e os conteúdos das provas de Direito do Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes – ENADE e do Exame da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil – OAB, a fim de compreender de que forma tais certames têm contribuído (ou não) para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino jurídico brasileiro.

Trabalho , Estado e Educação : Categorias estruturantes para a compreensão do progresso de precarização do trabalho docente/ Trabajo, estado y educación: estructuración de categorías para comprender el progreso precario del trabajo docente

O presente artigo busca a contribuição dialética dos estudos empreendidos no curso de mestrado acadêmico com nosso objeto de investigação, nomeadamente o Processo de Precarização do Trabalho Docente na Rede Estadual em Alagoas. As categorias estruturantes, a saber: Trabalho, Estado e Educação, foram eleitas para organizar a escrita por serem vislumbradas dentro da perspectiva crítica, como principais para a compreensão da base dos fenômenos sociais. Como metodologia foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica de obras que dialogam diretamente com esta temática em tela. Como resultado, verifica-se que a categoria fundante do ser social convive com relações aviltantes que corroboram para sua desestruturação e fragmentação, dessa forma não podemos perder de vista que se torna cada vez mais salutar problematizar a realidade que se apresenta, a fim de transformá-la

Prospective study of patients with persistent symptoms of dengue in Brazil

Dengue is an arboviral infection clinically recognized as an acute and self-limited disease. Persistence of dengue symptoms is known, but it has been little studied. The aim of this study was to characterize persistent symptoms in 113 patients with dengue followed up clinically and by laboratory testing at a tertiary hospital. Symptoms that persisted for more than 14 days were observed in 61 (54.0%) patients, and six (6.2%) of them had symptoms for 6 months or more. The persistent symptoms identified were myalgia, weakness, hair loss, memory loss, reduced resistance to physical effort, headache, reasoning problems, arthralgia, sleepiness- and emotional lability. The progression to persistent symptoms was significantly associated with hospitalization, older age, more severe disease, the presence of bleeding and comorbidities upon univariate analysis. Upon multivariate analysis, the presence of persistent symptoms continued to be significantly associated only with increased age and dengue with warning signs. The platelet count during the acute phase of the disease was significantly lower in the group with persistent symptoms. In conclusion, the frequency of progression to persistent symptoms in dengue is relevant in patients seen at a tertiary hospital and the persistence of symptoms is more common in patients with dengue with warning signs

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

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set. Please cite this data paper when using its data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using these data
