A traçabilidade do conceito de competências em informação nos marcos de referência digitais docentes

Este artículo presenta la trazabilidad del concepto de competencias en información dentro de varios marcos de referencia digitales orientados a docentes. Se realizó un análisis documental basado en un relevamiento bibliográfico en el que se cruzaron los datos de los diferentes textos seleccionados. Se eligieron ocho trabajos que responden a organismos internacionales (Unesco, Unión Europea, ISTE) y a instituciones educativas nacionales de América Latina, España y Reino Unido. Se discuten las diversas terminologías que dichos marcos utilizan en relación al uso de tecnologías digitales en la educación, analizando los conceptos de competencias digitales que estos presentan e identificando los elementos propios de las competencias en información que en ellos se incluyen. Se elaboró una tabla con los aspectos comunes hallados que sirven de insumo para la discusión. Si bien en algunos marcos no figuran de forma explícita las competencias en información, se lograron identificar las siguientes: búsqueda de información, selección y evaluación crítica, y uso ético. Estas se encuentran atravesadas por la capacidad de pensar en forma crítica al momento de generar nuevo conocimiento.This article presents the traceability of the concept of information competences in several digital frameworks oriented to teachers. A documentary analysis was carried out based on a bibliographic survey where data from different selected texts were cross-checked. Eight works from international organizations (Unesco, European Union, ISTE) and national educational institutions in Latin America, Spain and the United Kingdom were selected. The different terminologies used by these frameworks in relation to the use of digital technologies in education are discussed, analyzing the concepts of digital competences that they present and identifying the elements of information competences included in them. A table was elaborated with the common aspects found that serve as input for discussion. Although some frameworks do not explicitly include information competences, the following were identified: information search, selection and critical evaluation, and ethical use. These are crossed by the ability to think critically when generating new knowledge.Este artigo apresenta a traçabilidade do conceito de competências em informação dentro de vários marcos de referência digitais docentes.

Unraveling the real magnitude of illegal wildlife poisoning to halt cryptic biodiversity loss

Illegal wildlife poisoning is a global threat for biodiversity, yet the magnitude of its impact on ecosystems is largely underestimated as most of poisoning episodes remain undetected. Here, we conducted a large-scale field experiment to better understand the real dimension of the illegal wildlife poisoning in terms of composition and number of species and abundance of impacted individuals, as well as the ecological factors driving it. We used camera traps to monitor simulated poison baits placed in 25 study areas in SW Europe and applied Good–Turing theory to estimate the richness of species of the entire assemblage (observed plus undetected). We recorded 3095 individuals from 39 vertebrate species that consumed 94 % of the baits (N = 590). Yet, using sample completeness to estimate the entire species assemblage yielded a total of 47 species exposed to illegal poisoning. The observed assemblage included different trophic and functional groups (from lizards and snakes to apex species among birds and mammals), as well as a 38 % of threatened and near threatened species (according to Spanish and Portuguese vertebrate red list and UICN list). The size (weight) of the bait outstands as a reliable predictor of the number of species (0–8 species/bait, mean = 2) and individuals (0–99 individuals/bait, mean = 5) susceptible to poisoning. The habitat where the bait was placed modulated the abundance of individuals affected (greater in open than in closed habitats). Type of bait and habitat drove the compositional variation of species. Our approach enables uncover entire species assemblages prone to illegal poisoning and their ecological drivers associated, advancing the understanding of the impact of wildlife poisoning in ecosystemsThis work was supported by the project TOXICO funding by “BBVA FOUNDATION GRANTS TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TEAMS, CALL 2018”.

Proline dehydrogenase regulates redox state and respiratory metabolism in Trypanosoma Cruzi

Over the past three decades, L-proline has become recognized as an important metabolite for trypanosomatids. It is involved in a number of key processes, including energy metabolism, resistance to oxidative and nutritional stress and osmoregulation. In addition, this amino acid supports critical parasite life cycle processes by acting as an energy source, thus enabling host-cell invasion by the parasite and subsequent parasite differentiation. In this paper, we demonstrate that L-proline is oxidized to Δ(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) by the enzyme proline dehydrogenase (TcPRODH, E.C. 1.5.99.8) localized in Trypanosoma cruzi mitochondria. When expressed in its active form in Escherichia coli, TcPRODH exhibits a Km of 16.58±1.69 µM and a Vmax of 66±2 nmol/min mg. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TcPRODH is a FAD-dependent dimeric state protein. TcPRODH mRNA and protein expression are strongly upregulated in the intracellular epimastigote, a stage which requires an external supply of proline. In addition, when Saccharomyces cerevisiae null mutants for this gene (PUT1) were complemented with the TcPRODH gene, diminished free intracellular proline levels and an enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress in comparison to the null mutant were observed, supporting the hypothesis that free proline accumulation constitutes a defense against oxidative imbalance. Finally, we show that proline oxidation increases cytochrome c oxidase activity in mitochondrial vesicles. Overall, these results demonstrate that TcPRODH is involved in proline-dependant cytoprotection during periods of oxidative imbalance and also shed light on the participation of proline in energy metabolism, which drives critical processes of the T. cruzi life cycle.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP, 11/50631-1)Instituto Nacional de Biologia Estrutural e Química Medicinal em Doenças Infecciosas (INBEQMeDI)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnólogico (CNPq, 470272/2011-2

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

The creation of a Diversity and Inclusion Commission at the Brazilian Bar Association in Niterói-RJ

Trabalho desenvolvido na Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil – Niterói -RJ no Projeto de Criação de uma Comissão de Diversidade e Inclusão e no Curso de Mestrado Profissional em Diversidade e Inclusão da Universidade Federal Fluminense.A importância de um olhar atento às diferenças existentes na nossa sociedade em vários segmentos nos faz refletir sobre uma série de questões e problematizar as necessidades à criação de uma Comissão de Diversidade e Inclusão na Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, localizada no município de Niterói- Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Tal criação decorre em virtude da demanda não somente dos advogados, mas também de parte da sociedade que clama pela inclusão em seus diversos setores e em vários aspectos. A reflexão sobre uma comunidade inclusiva e o olhar do campo jurídico sobre a temática introduzindo o assunto aos operadores do direito, inclusive, a própria sociedade, que hoje conta com apoio de uma grande instituição, remete-nos a importância sobre a conscientização acerca das questões voltadas a diversidade e a inclusão que nos cerca. Apesar, das legislações em vigor, ainda, é grande a barreira atitudinal. Para tanto, esta pesquisa qualitativa, na tentativa de identificar as necessidades à criação dessa comissão de diversidade e inclusão, problematizou as questões apontadas pelos advogados inscritos na OAB/ Niterói-RJ e descreveu práticas propositivas demandadas a partir dessas problematizações. Tivemos como objetivo geral a proposta da criação de uma Comissão de Diversidade e Inclusão na Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil subseção de Niterói – RJ, comprometida com os princípios da inclusão, aplicando-se não somente aos advogados com deficiência ou sobrisco, mas a todos os advogados e também cidadãos com suas demais necessidades, tendo em vista a respeitabilidade desta instituição brasileira, intimamente ligada a sociedade, seja na defesa da democracia, da cidadania, e entre outros tantos direitos.The importance of a careful look at the differences existing in our society in several segments makes us reflect on a series of issues and problematize the needs to create a Commission on Diversity and Inclusion in the Brazilian Lawyers Association, located in the municipality of Niterói, from Rio de Janeiro. This creation is due to the demand not only by lawyers, but also by society that cries for inclusion in its various sectors and in several aspects. Reflecting on an inclusive community and looking at the legal field on the subject by introducing the subject to lawyers, including society itself, which today has the support of an institution of this size, reminds us of the importance of raising awareness about issues related to diversity and inclusion that surrounds us. In spite of the legislation still in force, the attitudinal barrier is great. To do so, this research in an attempt to identify the needs to create this commission of diversity and inclusion, problematized the issues raised by OAB lawyers from Niterói / RJ and described propositional practices demanded from these problematizations, we had as general objective the proposal of creation of a Commission on Diversity and Inclusion in the Brazilian lawyers order of Niterói - RJ, committed to the principles of inclusion, applying not only to lawyers with disabilities or under-risk, but to all lawyers and also citizens with their other needs, in view of the respectability of this Brazilian institution, closely linked to society whether in defense of democracy, citizenship, and among many other rights.164 f
