Prática de ensino supervisionado em educação pré-escolar e 1º ciclo do ensino básico: cooperando e aprendendo com crianças

Este relatório reflete a dimensão investigativa realizada no âmbito da Prática de Ensino Supervisionado em Educação Pré-Escolar e à Prática de Ensino Supervisionado em Ensino do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Neste relatório, evidencia-se uma reflexão da prática educativa que teve como finalidade compreender de que maneira se pode potenciar a cooperação entre as crianças, partindo das suas narrativas, e como a cooperação contribui para o desenvolvimento das crianças. Para tal, destacam-se assim alguns objetivos que estiveram presentes na dimensão investigativa, tais como: conhecer e compreender representações e atitudes de crianças sobre trabalhar a pares e em grupo e intervir, organizando ambientes de aprendizagem, participativos e ativos, tendo em conta representações e atitudes de crianças face ao trabalho a pares, em pequenos grupos e em grande grupo. Assim sendo, a principal finalidade desta investigação-ação nos contextos onde realizei as minhas Práticas de Ensino Supervisionado foi promover ambientes de cooperação, partindo de narrativas das crianças, de modo a compreender os processos vantajosos da utilização desta ação no desenvolvimento das crianças, construindo para saberes profissionais, através da minha própria ação, registada, analisada e fundamentada; ABSTRAT: Supervised Teaching Practice in Pre-school and Primary Education: Cooperating and Learning with Children This report reflects the research investigative dimension out in the framework of the Supervised Teaching Practice in Pre-School Education and Supervised Teaching Practice of the 1st Cycle of Basic Education. In this report, it is evident the reflection of the educational practice whose objective was to understand how the cooperation between the children can be improved, based on their narratives and what contributions of this cooperation for the development of the children. To that end, we highlight some objectives that were present in the investigative dimension, such as: knowing and understanding children's representations and attitudes about working in pairs and groups and interacting, organizing learning, participatory and active environments, considering representations and attitudes of children to work in pairs, in small groups and in a large group. Thus, the main objective of this action research in the contexts in which I performed my Supervised Teaching Practices was to promote cooperative environments based on children's narratives to understand the advantageous processes of using this action in child development, building professional knowledge through my own recorded, analyzed and substantiated

COVID-19 symptoms at hospital admission vary with age and sex: results from the ISARIC prospective multinational observational study

Background: The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships of age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms. Methods: International, prospective observational study of 60 109 hospitalized symptomatic patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January and 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate relationships of age and sex to published COVID-19 case definitions and the most commonly reported symptoms. Results: ‘Typical’ symptoms of fever (69%), cough (68%) and shortness of breath (66%) were the most commonly reported. 92% of patients experienced at least one of these. Prevalence of typical symptoms was greatest in 30- to 60-year-olds (respectively 80, 79, 69%; at least one 95%). They were reported less frequently in children (≤ 18 years: 69, 48, 23; 85%), older adults (≥ 70 years: 61, 62, 65; 90%), and women (66, 66, 64; 90%; vs. men 71, 70, 67; 93%, each P < 0.001). The most common atypical presentations under 60 years of age were nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, and over 60 years was confusion. Regression models showed significant differences in symptoms with sex, age and country. Interpretation: This international collaboration has allowed us to report reliable symptom data from the largest cohort of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Adults over 60 and children admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are less likely to present with typical symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are common atypical presentations under 30 years. Confusion is a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in adults over 60 years. Women are less likely to experience typical symptoms than men

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International 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
