Extensão Tecnológica e hardware livre: resultados do projeto de robótica pedagógica com arduino do IFC-Campus Luzerna nas Escolas Públicas do Meio-Oeste Catarinense

Anais do 35º Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul - Área temática: Tecnologia e ProduçãoEste trabalho analisa o projeto extensionista de robótica pedagógica com base em tecnologia Arduino desenvolvido em 2016 e 2017 no Campus Luzerna do Instituto Federal Catarinense – IFC cujo objetivo principal é a realização de oficinas de robótica pedagógica nas escolas públicas do entorno do campus, usando robôs construídos pelos bolsistas com a tecnologia Arduino, uma ação que visa a integração entre o saber técnico-científico produzido no campus e o saber tradicional dos estudantes da região, além do eminente caráter de divulgação científica. As oficinas duram entre 2 e 4 horas e se dividem em 2 fases: (1) teórica, e (2) prática. Também buscam coletar informações sobre o interesse de alunos e professores locais acerca da robótica pedagógica. Até julho de 2017 o projeto chegou a 6 cidades diferentes, alcançando 595 estudantes de escolas pública, com dezenas de oficinas realizadas e destaque para a realização de uma oficina na cidade de Floriano, no Piauí, em maio de 2017, com mais de 100 participantes, além de 6 oficinas do Projeto Rondon na cidade de Balneário Rincão, no sul de Santa Catarina, com mais de 300 participantes. Considera-se que o projeto traz resultados concretos para a ação extensionista do Campus Luzerna, apresentando efeitos positivos sobre a região, e levando a marca IFC para várias cidades diferentes no ano de 201

Competitiveness of Food Industry in the Era of Digital Transformation towards Agriculture 4.0

Industry 4.0 and its technologies can potentially increase business competitiveness in the age of digital transformation through the implementation of its technologies. These digital technologies are increasingly present in the food industry, characterizing the concept of Agriculture 4.0. This digital transformation is a reality; however, it is unclear which digital technologies are most useful for each industry sector. Therefore, this paper seeks to explore the current state of implementation of digital technologies in different industrial sectors and which digital technologies should be leveraged to increase the performance of the agribusiness system. To do so, we used secondary data from a large-scale survey of 28 industrial sectors, representing 2225 companies in the Brazilian industry. Analyzing the different industrial sectors allowed us to present a framework of digital transformation to boost food industry competitiveness towards Agriculture 4.0. The results show that the food industry usually uses only one digital technology, showing the need for simultaneous and joint investments in the other technologies presented in this research. Public policies must be directed to encourage the expansion of digital technologies in the food industry

ROBÓTICA E EXTENSÃO TECNOLÓGICA NO INTERIOR CATARINENSE O Sucesso do Projeto de Robótica Pedagógica Lego® do IFC Luzerna

A robótica pedagógica Lego® iniciou em 1999 com o lançamento da linha Mindstorms®, sendo adotada em larga escala nos países industrializados. No Brasil, a realidade da escola básica e a baixa dotação orçamentária da educação impede utilização em larga escala dos robôs Lego® nas escolas, tanto pelo alto custo, quanto pela falta de capacitação de professores. Este trabalho, com metodologia quali quantitativa usando dados dos autores, analisa o desempenho do projeto de Robótica Pedagógica com Lego Mindstorms® financiada pelo IFC Campus Luzerna, iniciado em 2013, atualmente em sua 5ª edição. Resultados são expressivos, com dezenas de oficinas realizadas e centenas de participantes

Ecological drivers of sustained enzootic yellow fever virus transmission in Brazil, 2017-2021.

Beginning December 2016, sylvatic yellow fever (YF) outbreaks spread into southeastern Brazil, and Minas Gerais state experienced two sylvatic YF waves (2017 and 2018). Following these massive YF waves, we screened 187 free-living non-human primate (NHPs) carcasses collected throughout the state between January 2019 and June 2021 for YF virus (YFV) using RTqPCR. One sample belonging to a Callithrix, collected in June 2020, was positive for YFV. The viral strain belonged to the same lineage associated with 2017-2018 outbreaks, showing the continued enzootic circulation of YFV in the state. Next, using data from 781 NHPs carcasses collected in 2017-18, we used generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs) to identify the spatiotemporal and host-level drivers of YFV infection and intensity (an estimation of genomic viral load in the liver of infected NHP). Our GAMMs explained 65% and 68% of variation in virus infection and intensity, respectively, and uncovered strong temporal and spatial patterns for YFV infection and intensity. NHP infection was higher in the eastern part of Minas Gerais state, where 2017-2018 outbreaks affecting humans and NHPs were concentrated. The odds of YFV infection were significantly lower in NHPs from urban areas than from urban-rural or rural areas, while infection intensity was significantly lower in NHPs from urban areas or the urban-rural interface relative to rural areas. Both YFV infection and intensity were higher during the warm/rainy season compared to the cold/dry season. The higher YFV intensity in NHPs in warm/rainy periods could be a result of higher exposure to vectors and/or higher virus titers in vectors during this time resulting in the delivery of a higher virus dose and higher viral replication levels within NHPs. Further studies are needed to better test this hypothesis and further compare the dynamics of YFV enzootic cycles between different seasons

Córdoba, 28 y 29 de junio de 2018

Actas del X Seminario Internacional de Investigación en UrbanismoEl seminario tiene como objetivo facilitar una instancia de reflexión compartida sobre las investigaciones en el campo del urbanismo y generar un intercambio entre investigadores sobre los fenómenos de la urbanización y la transformación urbana y territorial en distintos países iberoamericanos. Se propone analizar las características de los procesos de transformación del territorio y los factores que los explican, en relación con las estrategias de planificación, proyecto y renovación sostenible destinadas a ciudades y regiones. Se pretende integrar diferentes escalas y perspectivas de análisis, propias del planeamiento y la gestión urbana, metropolitana y regional, del diseño urbano y arquitectónico; de la geografía y la sociología urbanas, que habitualmente se examinan aisladamente en distintos foros. En el marco de este encuentro, y en conmemoración del primer centenario de la Reforma Universitaria iniciada en Córdoba –movimiento estudiantil que sienta las bases del actual sistema universitario nacional-se cree propicia la ocasión para reflexionar además sobre la relación entre ciudad y universidad, sobre ciudades universitarias, sobre la contribución desde la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba y del resto de las universidades latinoamericanas al urbanismo de nuestras ciudades

Neotropical freshwater fisheries : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change. There are no copyright restrictions on the data, and please cite this data paper when using the data in publications
