O caderno do pequeno artista: expressão e transformação no desenho da segunda infância
Get PDFThis article aims to analyze and observe the relevant aspects of the development and construction of an artist's notebook from the change implemented in the art classes in the studio at Colégio Pentágono, when a simple sketchbook with thin sheets and any cover gave way to an artist's notebook, compact and different. It seeks to understand how this change impacts the creative processes of each one, thus giving the children themselves an artist status. Based on this analysis, I rely on the considerations of Suzuki (2014), who addresses the means of construction and use of the notebook in the classroom, Salles (1998), on the creative process and Freire (1996) when reporting the importance of the relationship between teacher and student and learning approaches.Esse artigo se propõe a analisar e observar os aspectos relevantes do desenvolvimento e construção de um caderno de artista a partir da mudança implementada nas aulas de arte em ateliê no Colégio Pentágono, quando um simples caderno de desenho com folhas finas e capa simples deu lugar a um caderno de artista, compacto e diferente. Busca-se entender como essa mudança impacta nos processos criativos de cada um, conferindo assim, às próprias crianças um status de artista. Para esta dessa análise, conto com as considerações de Suzuki (2014), que aborda os meios de construção e uso do caderno em sala de aula, Salles (1998), sobre o processo de criativo, e Freire (1996) ao relatar a importância da relação entre professor e aluno e as abordagens de aprendizagem
Aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of anterior teeth after trauma: a case report
Get PDFTraumatic dental injuries are common clinical problems during childhood, and may have complex etiologies causing physical and physiological impairment. The aim of this study was to report the management of a severe traumatic dental injury in an 8-year-old female patient, victim of a motorcycle accident, who was taken to a pediatric dentistry clinic three months after the accident. After clinical and radiografic examination, we observed the avulsion of the permanent maxillary central incisors and of the permanent left lateral incisor, with considerable lingual interposition, interfering in speech and swallowing. The patient showed low risk of caries and good behavior during the appointments. However, she demonstrated to be embarrassed to smile. Besides the preventive treatment concerning caries, the treatment plan included immediate care and subsequent monitoring of the psychosocial reestablishment. For this purpose, an acrylic partial denture was made in order to replace the missing anterior teeth, maintaining the characteristics of the mixed dentition and preserving the aesthetics and the function. Follow-up appointments were performed one, three and six months after the first visit, aiming to monitor the adaptation of the prosthesis, as well as the growth and development of the child’s dentition. Thus, the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation was achieved regarding the patient’s satisfaction, enabling immediate social reinsertion.Lesões dentárias traumáticas são problemas clínicos comuns durante a infância e podem ter etiologias complexas, causando deficiências físicas e fisiológicas. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar um caso de lesão dentária traumática grave em uma paciente de 8 anos de idade, vítima de um acidente de moto, que foi levada para uma clínica de odontopediatria três meses depois do acidente. Exames clínicos e radiológicos diagnosticaram a avulsão dos incisivos centrais superiores permanentes, do incisivo lateral esquerdo permanente e do canino esquerdo decíduo, com considerável interposição da língua, interferindo na fala e deglutição. A paciente apresentou baixo risco de cárie e bom comportamento durante as consultas. No entanto, ela demonstrou estar envergonhada para sorrir. Além do tratamento preventivo para a cárie, o plano de tratamento incluiu atendimento imediato e acompanhamento posterior do restabelecimento psicossocial da paciente. Para este efeito, uma prótese parcial acrílica foi feita para substituir os dentes anteriores que faltavam, mantendo as características da dentição mista e preservando sua estética e função. Consultas de acompanhamento foram realizadas em um, três e seis meses após a primeira visita, com o objetivo de monitorar a adaptação da prótese, bem como o crescimento e desenvolvimento da dentição da criança. Assim, a reabilitação estética e funcional foi alcançada considerando a satisfação da paciente, permitindo sua reinserção social imediata
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics
No full textBiological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics
No full textXenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set.
