Advancing Creativity Theory and Research: A Socio-cultural Manifesto

This manifesto, discussed by 20 scholars, representing diverse lines of creativity research, marks a conceptual shift within the field. Socio-cultural approaches have made substantial contributions to the concept of creativity over recent decades and today can provide a set of propositions to guide our understanding of past research and to generate new directions of inquiry and practice. These propositions are urgently needed in response to the transition from the Information Society to the Post-Information Society. Through the propositions outlined here, we aim to build common ground and invite the community of creativity researchers and practitioners to reflect up, study, and cultivate creativity as a socio-cultural phenomenon

Erratum: Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Interpretation: By quantifying levels and trends in exposures to risk factors and the resulting disease burden, this assessment offers insight into where past policy and programme efforts might have been successful and highlights current priorities for public health action. Decreases in behavioural, environmental, and occupational risks have largely offset the effects of population growth and ageing, in relation to trends in absolute burden. Conversely, the combination of increasing metabolic risks and population ageing will probably continue to drive the increasing trends in non-communicable diseases at the global level, which presents both a public health challenge and opportunity. We see considerable spatiotemporal heterogeneity in levels of risk exposure and risk-attributable burden. Although levels of development underlie some of this heterogeneity, O/E ratios show risks for which countries are overperforming or underperforming relative to their level of development. As such, these ratios provide a benchmarking tool to help to focus local decision making. Our findings reinforce the importance of both risk exposure monitoring and epidemiological research to assess causal connections between risks and health outcomes, and they highlight the usefulness of the GBD study in synthesising data to draw comprehensive and robust conclusions that help to inform good policy and strategic health planning

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

Conhecimento dos cirurgiões dentistas da Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre anomalias craniofaciais: fase de análise do modelo ADDIE

O presente estudo parte do seguinte problema de pesquisa: qual o conhecimento dos dentistas da atenção primária sobre anomalias craniofaciais e quais as possíveis necessidades educacionais, necessárias para melhorar o cuidado a esses usuários nesse nível de atenção? O trabalho em questão vem servir de subsídio para a construção de estratégias educacionais na temática das anomalias craniofaciais voltadas para cirurgiões-dentistas. Para tal, foi realizada a Fase de análise do modelo ADDIE de Desenho Instrucional, que é uma ferramenta capaz de desenvolver atividades educacionais de uma forma sistemática e coerente. O trabalho teve por objetivo fazer uma análise do conhecimento e dificuldades dos cirurgiões-dentistas no atendimento a pacientes com anomalias craniofaciais na APS compondo a fase de análise do modelo ADDIE de Desenho Instrucional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa que utilizou a entrevista semiestruturada com roteiro previamente elaborado. Seguiu a análise de conteúdo recomendada por Minayo, resultando em quatro categorias: Conhecimentos teórico-práticos das anomalias craniofaciais, Conhecimentos sobre o cuidado de pessoas com anomalias craniofaciais, Dificuldades no atendimento e Educação na saúde. As narrativas permitem supor uma abordagem insuficiente sobre anomalias craniofaciais durante a formação acadêmica e que as fissuras de lábio e/ou palato são as anomalias mais conhecidas pelos participantes e concordam que existe a necessidade de cursos de capacitação para melhorar a ampliar o conhecimento sobre o tema. A fase de Análise do Modelo ADDIE de Desenho Instrucional permitiu identificar as seguintes necessidades educacionais: explicar conceitos referentes às anomalias craniofaciais mais frequentes, bem como suas características clínicas e odontológicas; manejo odontológico do paciente com anomalia craniofacial; destacar o papel do cirurgião-dentista da APS na reabilitação desses usuários em parcerias com os serviços de referência no tratamento dessas anomalias. &nbsp

Studies of Synchrotron (SμXRF) of fluid ore minerals detected in uraniferous mineralization, ferriferous and epithermal deposits

O método de análise não-destrutivo denominado Microfluorescência de Raios X. (µSXRF, radiação Sincrotron) tem sido utilizado recentemente em laboratórios de luz Sincrotron de vários países para identificar e, em situações especiais, quantificar elementos menores, maiores e traços em inclusões fluidas. Com esse intuito, a estação de µSXRF do LNLS (Laboratório Nacional de Luz Sincrotron, Campinas) foi utilizada para desenvolver estudos composicionais de inclusões fluidas em minerais transparentes (quartzo, adulária, esmeralda, piroxê- nio) de diferentes jazidas minerais e minérios opacos de Ag e Fe.Synchrotron radiation micro X-ray fluorescence (SμXRF) analysis is a non-destructive method that can be used to identify, and in special cases, to quantify major, minor, and trace elements present in fluid inclusions. In spite of the relevant results, this technique has been used only in a few studies, which, moreover, are mostly focused on either synthetic or natural fluid inclusions in transparent minerals. To investigate fluid inclusions in transparent and opaque minerals, the synchrotron radiation X-ray microprobe station from the μSXRF fluorescence beamline at the LNLS-Campinas was used. This analytical method has been proven to be efficient in the chemical characterization of the fluid inclusions constituents of some transparent (quartz, adularia, emerald, etc.) and opaque minerals (pyrargyrite and hematite).Universidad Nacional de La Plat
