Inserção do Egresso de Cursos à Distância no Mercado de Trabalho: um Estudo Voltado para a Licenciatura em Matemática

A discussão sobre a Educação a Distância vem ganhando espaço cada vez maior no Brasil, notadamente nos últimos anos. Diante do considerável aumento do número de alunos matriculados em cursos a distância, faz-se mister compreender como se dá a inserção desses alunos no mercado de trabalho após sua formação. Destarte, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a inserção de egressos da Licenciatura em Matemática no mercado de trabalho por meio de um estudo descritivo e de campo, realizado junto a alunos graduados pela Universidade Federal da Paraíba na modalidade a distância, bem como com gestores de escolas particulares do Estado. A pesquisa revelou que a maior parte dos egressos do curso já atuava no mercado de trabalho antes mesmo de sua formação. Os gestores escolares ressaltaram a importância da Educação a Distância, sobretudo nas regiões onde não há universidades instaladas, e a maior parte deles não considera o egresso de cursos a distância menos capacitado para atuar nas escolas. Palavras-chave: Educação a Distância, Mercado de trabalho, Licenciatura, Matemática.   Insertion of Graduates of Distance Learning Courses in the Labor Market: a Study Focused the Degree in Mathematics AbstractThe discussion on distance education has been increasingly in Brazil, particularly in recent years. Owing to the considerable increase in the number of students enrolled in distance courses, it is mister to understand how is the insertion of these students in the labor market, after their graduation. Thus, this research had as objective to investigate the insertion of graduates in Mathematics in the labor market, through a descriptive and field study, carried out among the students graduated from the Federal University of Paraiba in the distance modality, as well as with managers of private schools of the State. The research revealed that most of the students of course was already working in the labor market, even before their graduation. The school managers highlighted the importance of distance education, especially in regions where there are no universities installed and most of them do not consider the egress of distance courses less qualified to act in schools. Keywords: Distance education, Labor market, Graduation, Mathematics. A discussão sobre a Educação a Distância vem ganhando espaço cada vez maior no Brasil, notadamente nos últimos anos.

Epilepsies with midline foci: a study with quantitative and topographic EEG

We report a topographic and quantitative EEG (EEGQT) study of four patients with analogic EEG diagnostics of midline foci. the new study with EEGQT offered an increased definition of the electrical source with advantages in foci localization. These findings should be confirmed with studies including a greater number of patients.Hosp Servidor Publ Estado São Paulo, IAMSPE, Serv Neurol, São Paulo, BrazilUNIFESP, Escola Paulista Med, São Paulo, BrazilUNIFESP, Escola Paulista Med, São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc

Oral polio revaccination is associated with changes in gut and upper respiratory microbiomes of infants

Copyright © 2022 Medeiros, Ingham, Nanque, Correia, Stegger, Andersen, Fisker, Benn, Lanaspa, Silveira and Abrantes.After the eradication of polio infection, the plan is to phase-out the live-attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV). Considering the protective non-specific effects (NSE) of OPV on unrelated pathogens, the withdrawal may impact child health negatively. Within a cluster-randomized trial, we carried out 16S rRNA deep sequencing analysis of fecal and nasopharyngeal microbial content of Bissau-Guinean infants aged 4-8 months, before and after 2 months of OPV revaccination (revaccinated infants = 47) vs. no OPV revaccination (control infants = 47). The aim was to address changes in the gut and upper respiratory bacterial microbiotas due to revaccination. Alpha-diversity for both microbiotas increased similarly over time in OPV-revaccinated infants and controls, whereas greater changes over time in the bacterial composition of gut ( p adjusted < 0.001) and upper respiratory microbiotas ( p adjusted = 0.018) were observed in the former. Taxonomic analysis of gut bacterial microbiota revealed a decrease over time in the median proportion of Bifidobacterium longum for all infants (25-14.3%, p = 0.0006 in OPV-revaccinated infants and 25.3-11.6%, p = 0.01 in controls), compatible with the reported weaning. Also, it showed a restricted increase in the median proportion of Prevotella_9 genus in controls (1.4-7.1%, p = 0.02), whereas in OPV revaccinated infants an increase over time in Prevotellaceae family (7.2-17.4%, p = 0.005) together with a reduction in median proportion of potentially pathogenic/opportunistic genera such as Escherichia/ Shigella (5.8-3.4%, p = 0.01) were observed. Taxonomic analysis of upper respiratory bacterial microbiota revealed an increase over time in median proportions of potentially pathogenic/opportunistic genera in controls, such as Streptococcus (2.9-11.8%, p = 0.001 and Hemophilus (11.3-20.5%, p = 0.03), not observed in OPV revaccinated infants. In conclusion, OPV revaccination was associated with a healthier microbiome composition 2 months after revaccination, based on a more abundant and diversified bacterial community of Prevotellaceae and fewer pathogenic/opportunistic organisms. Further information on species-level differentiation and functional analysis of microbiome content are warranted to elucidate the impact of OPV-associated changes in bacterial microbiota on child health.publishersversionpublishe

Antibody recognition of plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells by symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals in the brazilian Amazon

In the Amazon Region, there is a virtual absence of severe malaria and few fatal cases of naturally occurring Plasmodium falciparum infections; this presents an intriguing and underexplored area of research. In addition to the rapid access of infected persons to effective treatment, one cause of this phenomenon might be the recognition of cytoadherent variant proteins on the infected red blood cell (IRBC) surface, including the var gene encoded P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1. In order to establish a link between cytoadherence, IRBC surface antibody recognition and the presence or absence of malaria symptoms, we phenotype-selected four Amazonian P. falciparum isolates and the laboratory strain 3D7 for their cytoadherence to CD36 and ICAM1 expressed on CHO cells. We then mapped the dominantly expressed var transcripts and tested whether antibodies from symptomatic or asymptomatic infections showed a differential recognition of the IRBC surface. As controls, the 3D7 lineages expressing severe disease-associated phenotypes were used. We showed that there was no profound difference between the frequency and intensity of antibody recognition of the IRBC-exposed P. falciparum proteins in symptomatic vs. asymptomatic infections. The 3D7 lineages, which expressed severe malaria-associated phenotypes, were strongly recognised by most, but not all plasmas, meaning that the recognition of these phenotypes is frequent in asymptomatic carriers, but is not necessarily a prerequisite to staying free of symptoms.In the Amazon Region, there is a virtual absence of severe malaria and few fatal cases of naturally occurring Plasmodium falciparum infectionsthis presents an intriguing and underexplored area of research.

Participatory management in SUS through integrating education, and community service: the experience of a family health league as a project of University extension in Fortaleza - Ceará

As a result of the experience of two public universities and a private one, the Extension Project "Family Health League" (LSF) introduced a participative management strategy in the field of education of health professionals, with the support of power-ideas such as permanent education in health, popular education, multiprofessional and interdisciplinary groups, primary health attention, family health strategy, participative methodologies and practice inserted in a live territory. This report aims to introduce an experience of integrating teaching to community service through the Family Health League Extension Project (LSF), in the context of the Health-School Municipal System (SMSE) in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. This experience was planned in the spirit of participative management in the National Health System (SUS). The proposal of LSF emerges, in the SMSE, from a recommendation supported by the city's health system which aimed at improving co-management spaces of education and services and used the methods of circle discussion and inverted tent. The protagonism of the project members and of the community in the organization of the project's activities and the amplification of a critical view over social reality and health work are amongst the major advances which emerged from this experience. This project has made possible the integration of teaching, health service and community, from the perspective of a communicative and participative management.Fruto da experiência de duas universidades públicas e uma privada, o Projeto de Extensão Liga Saúde da Família (LSF) constitui-se numa estratégia de gestão participativa no campo da formação de profissionais da área da saúde, com base nos conceitos de educação permanente em saúde, educação popular em saúde, equipe multiprofissional e interdisciplinar, atenção primária à saúde, promoção da saúde, estratégia saúde da família, metodologias participativas de pesquisa e atuação inserida no território vivo. Este relato apresenta a experiência da integração ensino-serviço-comunidade por meio do Projeto de Extensão Liga Saúde da Família, no contexto do Sistema Municipal de Saúde Escola (SMSE), em Fortaleza-Ceará, que dialoga com a gestão participativa no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Esta proposta do LSF foi implantada no SMSE a partir de uma ação apoiada pelo sistema de saúde de Fortaleza que visa potencializar os espaços de co-gestão docente-assistencial, por meio da proposta do método da roda e da tenda invertida. O protagonismo dos integrantes e da comunidade na construção das atividades do projeto e a ampliação do olhar crítico sobre a realidade social e do trabalho em saúde estão entre os maiores avanços surgidos dessa experiência. Esse projeto permitiu a integração ensino - serviço - comunidade, atendendo a uma perspectiva de gestão participativa e dialógica

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
