O CORPO COMO CONTEÚDO PARA A EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL: UM DIÁLOGO COM A EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

Based on Historical-Critical Pedagogy (PHC), Critical Environmental Education (EAC) and supported by Historical-Dialectical Materialism as our main theoretical-methodological framework, we carried out a theoretical study, in the search to establish an approximation between EAC and Physical Education (EF) when we propose the Body as content for understanding social relations with/in the environment. In a bibliographic review of EF works, the dialogue with Environmental Education (EA) proved to be shy and, predominantly, with non-critical approaches, highlighting dichotomized interactions between subjetc and nature. In this way, from the perspective of PHC, we propose the Body as the content of (EA), reconstituting its knowledge and understanding in history and discussing the need for a reapprochement between humanity and nature, in a dialectical relationship, from the concepts of Organic and Inorganic Body, in the debate about work. Thus, we understand that the Body can establish dialogue between areas, as it carries within itself our biological characteristics and also cultural contents, and in the relationship of these “two natures” we can express our fullness that will only be possible in overcoming capitalist society.Con base en la Pedagogía Histórico-Crítica (PHC), la Educación Ambiental Crítica (EAC) y apoyados en el Materialismo Histórico-Dialéctico como nuestro principal marco teórico-metodológico, realizamos un estudio teórico, en la búsqueda de establecer una aproximación entre la EAC y la Educación Física (EF) cuando proponemos el Cuerpo como contenido para comprender las relaciones sociales con/en el medio ambiente. En una revisión bibliográfica de obras de EF, el diálogo con Educación Ambiental (EA) se mostró tímido y, predominantemente, con enfoques acríticos, destacando interacciones dicotómicas entre sujeto y naturaleza. De esta manera, desde la perspectiva de la PHC, proponemos el Cuerpo como contenido de la EA, reconstituyendo su saber y comprensión en la historia y discutiendo la necesidad de un acercamiento entre el hombre y la naturaleza, en una relación dialéctica, a partir de los conceptos de Cuerpo Orgánico y Inorgánico, en el debate sobre trabajo. Así, entendemos que el Cuerpo puede establecer diálogo entre las áreas, ya que lleva en sí nuestras características biológicas y también contenidos culturales, y en la relación de estas “dos naturalezas” podemos expresar nuestra plenitud que sólo será posible en la superación de la sociedad capitalista.Embasados pela Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica (PHC), pela Educação Ambiental Crítica (EAC) e apoiados pelo Materialismo Histórico-Dialético como nosso principal referencial teórico-metodológico, realizamos um estudo teórico, na busca de estabelecer uma aproximação entre a EAC e a Educação Física (EF) ao propormos o Corpo como conteúdo para a compreensão das relações sociais com/no ambiente.

Corpo, gênero e sexualidade nas narrativas cotidianas de professoras da Educação Infantil: conjecturas sobre currículo, saberes e formação.

O presente artigo procurou refletir quanto a presença e as formas de abordagens das temáticas: “corpo, gênero e sexualidade” na Educação Infantil da rede pública de um município localizado ao centro-oeste de Minas Gerais, a fim de mapear as práticas pedagógicas e os saberes docentes relativos a essas questões. Para tanto, utilizou-se enquanto recurso metodológico um questionário semiestruturado que viabilizou a realização de entrevistas com cinco professoras, sendo três generalistas e duas especialistas atuantes nessa etapa da educação básica. O estudo evidenciou a emergente necessidade de discussões sobre o tema na formação continuada das professoras entrevistadas, visto que em linhas gerais partem de uma ideia normativa e naturalizada das relações de gênero e das expressões das sexualidades. Revelou também, a ausência, ou mesmo a superficialidade teórica na formação inicial das depoentes, em relação aos temas, o que afeta de alguma maneira suas intervenções pedagógicas, basta ver que em algumas circunstâncias recorrem à intuição para fundamentar suas ações, incidindo assim no cerceamento das experiências na educação das infâncias. 

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and100 m (76%). Rodentia (n=31,573) has the highest number of records followedby Chiroptera (n=18,857), Carnivora (n=18,594), Lagomorpha (n=17,496),Cetartiodactyla (n=11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n=7008). The data setincludes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened(e.g.,Oryctolagus cuniculus[n=12,159],Monachus monachus[n=1,512],andLynx pardinus[n=197]). We believe that this data set may stimulate thepublication of other European countries data sets that would certainly contrib-ute to ecology and conservation-related research, and therefore assisting onthe development of more accurate and tailored conservation managementstrategies for each species.

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Chromobacterium violaceum is one of millions of species of free-living microorganisms that populate the soil and water in the extant areas of tropical biodiversity around the world. Its complete genome sequence reveals (i) extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, (ii) ≈500 ORFs for transport-related proteins, (iii) complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and (iv) wide-spread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism. The genome also contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, possibly involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. There is, in addition, a series of previously unknown but important enzymes and secondary metabolites including paraquat-inducible proteins, drug and heavy-metal-resistance proteins, multiple chitinases, and proteins for the detoxification of xenobiotics that may have biotechnological applications

Mammals in Portugal: a data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in Portugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is crucial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublished georeferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mammals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira that includes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occurring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live observations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%), bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent less than 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrows | soil mounds | tunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animal | hair | skulls | jaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8), observation in shelters, (9) photo trapping | video, (10) predators diet | pellets | pine cones/nuts, (11) scat | track | ditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalization | echolocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and 100 m (76%). Rodentia (n =31,573) has the highest number of records followed by Chiroptera (n = 18,857), Carnivora (n = 18,594), Lagomorpha (n = 17,496), Cetartiodactyla (n = 11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n = 7008). The data set includes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened (e.g., Oryctolagus cuniculus [n = 12,159], Monachus monachus [n = 1,512], and Lynx pardinus [n = 197]). We believe that this data set may stimulate the publication of other European countries data sets that would certainly contribute to ecology and conservation-related research, and therefore assisting on the development of more accurate and tailored conservation management strategies for each species.

Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC)

From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through fiscal and regulatory restrictions

RELAÇÕES DE PODER SOBRE OS CORPOS INFANTIS EM UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA DE LAVRAS-MG

Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as relaes de poder subjetivadas nos corpos infantis e presentes no cotidiano de uma escola pblica de Lavras MG, a partir de um olhar sistematizado sobre a realidade visando desvelar as formas pelas quais os comportamentos sociais so transmitidos e apropriados, bem como as justificativas que os sustentam. Ao considerarmos que a escola tem a funo social de preparar os indivduos para a vida em sociedade, se encarregando de transmitir alm de conhecimentos; valores, crenas e normas, entendidas como componentes da cultura, importante verificar qual o lugar e os significados que esse corpo ocupa neste ambiente educacional. Para tanto, utilizamos o mtodo etnogrfico que se volta para o estudo da cultura e o adaptamos para podermos descrever a rotina escolar e observar o tratamento dado aos corpos infantis nos rituais. Aps a coleta em situaes de sala de aula, lanche e recreao, optamos por utilizar um referencial foucaultiano para interpretao dos dados, criando algumas categorias de anlise, tais como: controle dos corpos, governamentalidade, gnero e sexualidade, resistncia, intimidao, entre outras. As principais evidncias indicaram a ineficincia dos mecanismos de disciplinarizao desempenhados na escola para educar os corpos infantis, tendo em vista os frequentes desvios das crianas s normas e as incoerncias que as sustentam, gerando conflitos dirios. Alm de reproduzir a incompreenso sobre a educao do corpo infantil no contexto escolar, o estudo indica ainda a necessidade de pensarmos formas de governo centradas nas caractersticas atuais das crianas que se quer formar, para isso torna-se imprescindvel capacitao de professores e funcionrios
