Um projeto de tradução voluntária de materiais informativos relacionados à COVID-19

O projeto surge no momento em que a sociedade vive a pandemia de coronavírus e o isolamento social. O objetivo é contribuir com a disseminação do conhecimento da pesquisa relacionada à COVID-19 através da formação de tradutores/as no Núcleo de Pesquisa e Extensão em Letras (NUPEL). Deste modo, professores/as e estudantes dos cursos de Letras da Universidade Federal da Bahia traduziram voluntariamente artigos científicos, resumos e informativos relacionados à COVID-19 com o propósito de auxiliar na divulgação nacional e internacional desse material. O intuito principal do projeto foi que tais pesquisas atinjam um maior número de pessoas e, possivelmente, promovam mais informação e mais formas de combater o vírus e (re)organizar a vida social. O projeto trabalhou pelo viés da tradução pedagógica, ou seja, a formação de tradutores/as através de demandas reais (KIRALY, 2005), discussões teóricas, feedback e reuniões de formação. Neste artigo, em particular, o objetivo está em relatar a experiência com as traduções realizadas de forma colaborativa: os/as tradutores/as em formação realizaram os trabalhos em duplas com orientação supervisionada dos/das professores/as de Letras. O trabalho de orientação concentrou-se na conscientização de texto e discurso sob uma perspectiva funcionalista (NORD, 2016): função textual, elementos linguísticos e estéticos além de normatizações, tratamento de citações e referências, questões retóricas, trocas de experiências, gerenciamento de tempo etc. Abordamos neste artigo a evolução do trabalho vivido por professores/as e tradutores/as em formação durante a realização do projeto que contemplou institutos de pesquisa e de saúde brasileiros: universidades públicas e privadas, hospitais e órgãos governamentais

Integrated didactics: an example of a curriculum model enhancing knowledge crossing

In this paper, we introduce an innovative course in the Portuguese Context, the Master's Course in “Integrated Didactics in Mother Tongue, Maths, Natural and Social Sciences”, taking place at the Lisbon School of Education and discussing in particular the results of the evaluation made by the students who attended the Curricular Unit - Integrated Didactics (CU-ID). This course was designed for in-service teachers of the first six years of schooling and intends to improve connections between different curriculum areas. In this paper, we start to present a few general ideas about curriculum development; to discuss the concept of integration; to present the principles and objectives of the course created as well as its structure; to describe the methodology used in the evaluation process of the above mentioned CU-ID. The results allow us to state that the students recognized, as positive features of the CU-ID, the presence in all sessions of two teachers simultaneously from different scientific areas, as well as invitations issued to specialists on the subject of integration and to other teachers that already promote forms of integration in schools. As negative features, students noted a lack of integrated purpose, applying simultaneously the four scientific areas of the course, and also indicated the need to be familiar with more models of integrated education. Consequently, the suggestions for improvement derived from these negative features. The students also considered that their evaluation process was correct, due to the fact that it was focused on the design of an integrated project for one of the school years already mentioned

Perfil sanitário de rebanhos ovinos e caprinos da Microrregião do Alto Médio Gurguéia, no Sul do estado do Piauí, Brasil.

Resumo: Objetivou-se caracterizar o perfil sanitário de rebanhos caprinos e ovinos na Microrregião do Alto Médio Gurguéia, sul do estado do Piauí. Foi aplicado questionário em 53 unidades produtoras. O manejo sanitário, características das instalações e sinais clínicos das enfermidades foram descritas. Verificou-se que 92,4% dos rebanhos foram acondicionados em ?chiqueiros?. A higiene diária das instalações era realizada em 1,9% das propriedades e 13,2% não adotavam higiene sanitária alguma. A vermifugação foi a prática mais difundida (94,3%) e os principais achados clínicos foram sugestivos de doenças infecciosas e parasitárias. Conclui-se que o manejo sanitário tem sido empregado de forma inadequada, com a manifestação de sinais clínicos que podem decorrer de enfermidades peculiares a caprino e ovinocultura. Abstract: This study aimed to characterize the health profile of goats and sheep herds in the High Middle Gurguéia micro-region, the southern state of Piaui. A questionnaire was applied at 53 farms. The health management, animal facilities and clinical signs of disease were described. The results showed that 92.4% of the herds were kept in "sty". Daily hygiene of the animal facilities was carried out at 1.9% and 13.2% of farms did not adopt any health care. The worming practice was more widespread (94.3%) and the main clinical findings were suggestive of infectious and parasitic diseases. We conclude that the health management has been used inappropriately, with manifestation of clinical signs that may result from diseases peculiar to goat and sheep industr

Outcomes of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma evansi infections on health of Southern coati (Nasua nasua), crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in the Brazilian Pantanal.

The occurrence of Trypanosoma spp. in wild carnivore populations has been intensively investigated during the last decades. However, the impact of these parasites on the health of free-living infected animals has been largely neglected. The Pantanal biome is the world's largest seasonal wetland, harboring a great diversity of species and habitats. This includes 174 species of mammals, of which 20 belong to the order Carnivora. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma cruzi infections and coinfections on the health of the most abundant carnivores in the Pantanal: coati (Nasua nasua), crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis). We captured 39 coatis, 48 crab-eating foxes, and 19 ocelots. Diagnostic tests showed T. cruzi infection in 7 crab-eating foxes and 5 coatis. Additionally, 7 crab-eating foxes, 10 coatis, and 12 ocelots were positive for T. evansi. We observed coinfections in 9 crab-eating foxes, 8 coatis, and 2 ocelots. This is the first report of T. evansi and T. cruzi infection on the health of free-living ocelots and crab-eating foxes. We showed that single T. evansi or T. cruzi infection, as well as coinfection, caused some degree of anemia in all animals, as well as an indirect negative effect on body condition in coatis and crab-eating foxes via anemia indicators and immune investment, respectively. Furthermore, the vigorous immune investment observed in sampled coatis, crab-eating foxes and ocelots infected by T. evansi, T. cruzi and coinfected can be highly harmful to their health. Overall, our results indicate that single and combined infection with T. evansi and T. cruzi represent a severe risk to the health of wild carnivores in the Pantanal region
