Uma imagem vale mais: o uso das imagens na educação como elemento potencializador.

O presente artigo aborda o uso das imagens na educação. De caráter explanatório, desenvolve um histórico acerca dos referenciais teóricos sobre o tema, assim como faz digressões sobre como vivemos em uma sociedade marcada por símbolos imagéticos. O leque de reflexões faz parte da realização das atividades do recém-inaugurado "Laboratório de Produção e Análise de Imagens" (Lapi's) que o pesquisador coordena na Unilasalle-RJ. A proposta central é a de uma maior utilização das imagens em sala de aula para potencializar a explicação de conteúdos pedagógicos vai ao encontro de um aprendizado de maneira mais lúdica e prazerosa. As imagens fazem parte do cotidiano das pessoas, sendo portanto mais fácil de assimilar e recordar elementos que foram ensinados com o auxílio desse recurso, assim como, no campo da academia, ressignificar aspectos históricos a partir do uso de fontes alternativas.Palavras-chave: Imagens.

Humor, Comportamento e Cultura Política na Nova República: A Revista "Chiclete com Banana"

A proposta do presente artigo é analisar o comportamento político expresso na segunda metade dos anos 80 do século XX no Brasil. O período histórico é conhecido como Nova República e o objetivo é investigar a cultura política através da análise da revista de humor “Chiclete com Banana”. São feitas comparações com o tipo de humor que se observou durante o combate à ditadura, notadamente através do jornal “O Pasquim” e seus colaboradores. A época se caracteriza pela redemocratização, período onde o humor de comportamento ganhou força, tendo sido esvaziada a perspectiva política crítica coletiva em prol de um desenho mais preocupado com nuances individuais e psicológicas. A proposta central é mapear a produção de um imaginário político de novo tipo, desapegado do compromisso em conscientizar, valorizando uma mudança de costumes a favor de uma liberalização nas posturas pessoais.

Accidents by external causes in adolescents: care in sentinel urgency and emergency services in the Brazilian State Capitals-2009

Adolescents are seeking new references and experiences, which may involve attitudes of risk and exposure to accidents and violence from external causes. These events constitute a serious Public Health problem. The scope of this study was to analyze the occurrence of accidents by external causes in adolescents from 10 to 19 years of age attended at sentinel urgency and emergency services in Brazil. Data from the 2009 Surveillance System for Violence and Accidents (VIVA 2009) was analyzed in 74 emergency units in 23 state capitals and the Federal District. The findings revealed that 6,434 adolescents (89.8%) were victims of accidents and 730 (10.2 %) were victims of violence. The main causes of the accidents were falls and traffic accidents, and assaults were predominant in violence. For both accidents and violence, non-white male adolescents were predominant and the events occurred most frequently on the public highways. A marked increase was detected, with hospitalization of victims of violence between 15 and 19 years of age. Understanding the epidemiological reality of external causes among adolescents represents an important tool for health prevention and promotion policies and the culture of peace seeking to reduce morbidity and mortality

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
