Discursos e atravessamentos nas práticas avaliativas no cotidiano dos professores

This article is inserted in the field of discussions about evaluation practices and aimed to analyze the discursive constructions that weave the evaluation practices of teachers in agreste region of Pernambuco. We used as theoretical support authors such as Marinho, Leite and Fernandes (2014), Lopes (2018) and Costa e Silva (2021), for the understanding of evaluation as a space for negotiation of meanings, not having a fixed meaning, but precarious and provisional. Data analysis was performed from the theoretical and methodological perspective of Laclau and Mouffe's Discourse Theory (2015). Thus, from the teachers' speeches, we identified that the evaluative practices have a fluctuation of meanings and are crossed by the discursive constructions of external evaluation policies, teacher training, the common national bases and the regulation of the teaching work.Este artigo se insere no campo de discussões sobre as práticas avaliativas e objetivou analisar as construções discursivas que tecem as práticas avaliativas de professores do agreste pernambucano. Utilizamos como aporte teórico autores como Marinho, Leite e Fernandes (2014), Lopes (2018) e Costa e Silva (2021), para a compreensão da avaliação enquanto um espaço de negociação de significações, não possuindo um sentido fixo, mas precário e provisório. A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir da perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Teoria do Discurso de Laclau e Mouffe (2015). Assim, a partir dos discursos das professoras, identificamos que as práticas avaliativas possuem uma flutuação de sentidos e são atravessadas pelas construções discursivas das políticas de avaliação externa, da formação docente, das bases nacionais comuns e da regulação do trabalho docente

A globally applicable PCR-based detection and discrimination of BK and JC polyomaviruses

BKV and JCV belong to the Polyomaviridae family and are opportunistic agents associated with complications in immunocompromised individuals. Although a single screening assay for both viruses would be convenient, the diversity of BKV and JCV serotypes and genotypes is a methodological challenge. In this paper, we developed a PCR method able to detect and segregate BKV and JCV, despite these genetic discrepancies. A duplex semi-nested PCR (duplex snPCR) was designed to target a conserved region (639nt-1516nt) within the VP2 gene. In the first PCR, a primer set common to all BKV and JCV serotypes/ genotypes was used, followed by a semi-nested PCR with internal primers for BKV and JCV segregation. The limit of detection of the duplex snPCR was as low as 10 copies of BKV or JCV plasmids/µL. Specific products were observed when JCV and BKV plasmids were mixed in the same reaction. In field sample testing, the duplex snPCR detected and distinguished both viruses in different biological samples. Results were confirmed by Sanger’s sequencing. The geographical complexity of BKV and JCV serotypes and genotypes imposes limits to a simple and universal method that could detect each virus. However, we describe here a sensitive and reliable PCR technique for BKV and JCV diagnosis that overcomes these limitations and could be universally applied

Citizen Science Data on Urban Forageable Plants:A Case Study in Brazil

This paper presents two key data sets derived from the Pomar Urbano project. The first data set is a comprehensive catalog of edible fruit-bearing plant species, native or introduced in Brazil. The second data set, sourced from the iNaturalist platform, tracks the distribution and monitoring of these plants within urban landscapes across Brazil. The study encompasses data from all 27 Brazilian state capitals, focusing on the ten cities that contributed the most observations as of August 2023. The research emphasizes the significance of citizen science in urban biodiversity monitoring and its potential to contribute to various fields, including food and nutrition, creative industry, study of plant phenology, and machine learning applications. We expect the data sets to serve as a resource for further studies in urban foraging, food security, cultural ecosystem services, and environmental sustainability

The Heart and COVID-19: What Cardiologists Need to Know

In face of the pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the management of patients with cardiovascular risk factors and/or disease is challenging. The cardiovascular complications evidenced in patients with COVID-19 derive from several mechanisms, ranging from direct viral injury to complications secondary to the inflammatory and thrombotic responses to the infection. The proper care of patients with COVID-19 requires special attention to the cardiovascular system aimed at better outcomes

Optimizing the Monitoring of Urban Fruit-Bearing Flora with Citizen Science:An Overview of the Pomar Urbano Initiative

The "Pomar Urbano" (Urban Orchard) project focuses on the collaborative monitoring of fruit-bearing plant species in urban areas throughout Brazil.The project collected a list of 411 fruit-bearing plant species (Soares et al. 2023), both native and exotic varieties found in Brazil. This list was selected from two main sources: the book Brazilian Fruits and Cultivated Exotics (Lorenzi et al. 2006) and the book series Plants for the Future, which includes volumes specifically dedicated to species of economic value in different regions of Brazil, namely the South (Coradin et al. 2011), Midwest (Vieira et al. 2016), Northeast (Coradin et al. 2018) and North (Coradin et al. 2022). To ensure broad geographic coverage, the project spans all 27 state capitals of Brazil. The data collection process relies on the iNaturalist Umbrella and Collection projects. Each state capital has a single collection project, including the fruit-bearing plant species list, and the locality restriction to that specific city. For example, the collection project Pomar Paulistano gathers data from the city of São Paulo. The Umbrella Project Urban Orchard was set to track data from all 27 collection projects.We firmly believe that these fruit-bearing plant species possess multifaceted value that extends beyond mere consumption. As such, we have assembled a dynamic and multidisciplinary team comprising professionals from various institutions across Brazil in a collaborative effort that encompasses different dimensions of biodiversity value exploration and monitoring, especially phenological data.One facet of our team is focused on creating products inspired by the diverse array of Brazilian fruit-bearing plants. Their work spans across sectors of the creative industry, including fashion, painting, and graphic design to infuse these natural elements into innovative and sustainable designs (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).A group of nutrition and health scientists in conjunction with communication and marketing professionals is working to produce engaging media content centered around food recipes that incorporate Brazilian fruits (Fig. 3). These recipes primarily feature the fruit-bearing plants most frequently observed on iNaturalist in the city of São Paulo, allowing us to showcase the local biodiversity while promoting culinary diversity. Some of these recipes are based on the book Brazilian Biodiversity: Flavors and Aromas (Santiago and Coradin 2018). This book is an extensive compendium of food recipes that use fruits derived from native Brazilian species

Leveraging citizen science for monitoring urban forageable plants

Urbanization brings forth social challenges in emerging countries such as Brazil, encompassing food scarcity, health deterioration, air pollution, and biodiversity loss. Despite this, urban areas like the city of São Paulo still boast ample green spaces, offering opportunities for nature appreciation and conservation, enhancing city resilience and livability. Citizen science is a collaborative endeavor between professional scientists and nonprofessional scientists in scientific research that may help to understand the dynamics of urban ecosystems. We believe citizen science has the potential to promote human and nature connection in urban areas and provide useful data on urban biodiversity

Fundamento: a enfermidade COVID-19 surgiu em dezembro de 2019, na China, causando infecções respiratórias com alta mortalidade.  Por se tratar de um vírus de fácil transmissão o isolamento social torna-se a forma mais adequada para diminuir a disseminação do vírus. Perante esse contesto o isolamento social no Brasil causou uma mudança dos hábitos alimentares. Objetivo: analisar a ingesta de açúcar e colesterol dos pacientes durante o isolamento social.  Método: recordatório alimentar de 24 horas de 244 pacientes de ambos os sexos com idade entre 20 e 30 anos teleatendidos em consulta nutricional da clínica escola de Belo Horizonte – MG, durante o período de isolamento social.  Resultado: em relação à ingesta diária de açúcar foi que 97 pacientes, que representam 40% da amostra, ultrapassaram 25g/dia. Em contrapartida, 147 pacientes, que representam 60% da amostra, não atingiram a ingestão limítrofe de 25g/dia, estando na normalidade em relação à ingesta. Em relação à ingesta diária de colesterol foi que 156 pacientes, que representam 64% da amostra, ultrapassaram a ingesta de 190mg/dia. Em contrapartida, 88 pacientes, que representam 36% da amostra, não atingiram a ingestão limítrofe de 190mg/dia. Conclusão: o período de isolamento social desencadeou mudanças nos hábitos alimentares relativos ao aumento no consumo de alimentos ricos em açúcar e em colesterol dietético, possivelmente secundário ao elevado consumo de produtos industrializados com baixo teor nutriciona

Interlaboratory Coverage Test on Plant Food Bioactive Compounds and their Metabolites by Mass Spectrometry-Based Untargeted Metabolomics.

Bioactive compounds present in plant-based foods, and their metabolites derived from gut microbiota and endogenous metabolism, represent thousands of chemical structures of potential interest for human nutrition and health. State-of-the-art analytical methodologies, including untargeted metabolomics based on high-resolution mass spectrometry, are required for the profiling of these compounds in complex matrices, including plant food materials and biofluids. The aim of this project was to compare the analytical coverage of untargeted metabolomics methods independently developed and employed in various European platforms. In total, 56 chemical standards representing the most common classes of bioactive compounds spread over a wide chemical space were selected and analyzed by the participating platforms (n = 13) using their preferred untargeted method. The results were used to define analytical criteria for a successful analysis of plant food bioactives. Furthermore, they will serve as a basis for an optimized consensus method
