Programas de promoção da saúde no ensino superior: uma revisão de escopo
Objective: To examine and map occupational health promotion programmes implemented with teachers in higher education institutions. Method: Scoping Review, according to the JBI Institute Reviewer's Manual. The research used MESH: Faculty, Health Promotion, Occupational Health and Universities, made up by a combination of fifteen keywords performed in scientific MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases. Additional records identified through other sources was performed in the RCAAP, Thesis CAPES and specialized journals databases, with no temporal limit. Results: 2498 studies were found, of which 57 were read in full and 28 were part of the final selection. Most studies have established causal relationships between variables. Data mapping showed a large number of studies aimed at assessing the health and well-being of the academic community, with the development of individual and collective skills. Empowerment and learning opportunities on health issues were mentioned in the interventions aimed at promoting physical and mental health and well-being. Conclusions: All programmes assumed that the promotion of literacy influenced well-being and quality of life. This work makes it possible to guide occupational health interventions for the creation of healthy environments and implementation of healthy public policies that support and reorient conditions favorable to the health of individuals and communities and provide the promotion of well-being and healthy lifestyles in universities.Objetivo: Examinar y mapear los programas de promoción de salud ocupacional implementados con los docentes de las instituciones de educación superior.

Conclusões: Todos os programas assumiram que a promoção da literacia influenciava o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida. Este trabalho possibilita nortear as intervenções em saúde ocupacional para criação de ambientes saudáveis e implementação de políticas públicas saudáveis que apoiam e reorientam as condições favoráveis à saúde dos indivíduos e coletividades, além de proporcionarem a promoção de bem-estar e do estilo de vida saudável nas universidades.
 
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

Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone
As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
