Desafios institucionais à inclusão de estudantes com Necessidades Educativas Especiais no Ensino Superior

Com base nos pressupostos da educação inclusiva e crescente democratização do ensino superior temos vindo a verificar a progressiva abertura da universidade a diversas minorias, nomeadamente estudantes com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE). Constata-se que ainda há pouco conhecimento sobre o tema da diversidade e inclusão entre docentes e estudantes, em geral, sendo que os serviços institucionais de apoio aos estudantes com NEE existentes carecem de eficácia em diversos níveis, nomeadamente ao nível das atitudes dos docentes e pessoal não-docente. O que pensam estes atores institucionais sobre a inclusão destes estudantes? Proporcionam as universidades as condições adequadas a esta minoria estudantil? Através de um estudo de caso na Universidade do Algarve, pretendeu-se analisar as conceções e atitudes dos docentes e pessoal nãodocente face à inclusão dos estudantes com NEE no Ensino Superior. Pretendeu-se ainda conhecer quais os desafios que estes atores institucionais assinalam no âmbito da inclusão. Tendo por referência os seus testemunhos, constata-se que, apesar do esforço da instituição em análise, continuam a existir áreas que necessitam de um maior investimento, desde a remoção das barreiras arquitetónicas, ao desenvolvimento de atitudes mais inclusivas da comunidade académica, passando por práticas de ensino-aprendizagem e de avaliação, que assegurem a igualdade e equidade

Pukaras in the Middle Calchaqui Valley (Salta, Argentina): a Few Answers to Old Questions

En este trabajo integramos la información actualmente disponible para las quebradas altas del valle Calchaquí medio en la provincia de Salta, Argentina, con el objetivo de aportar a la discusión sobre la funcionalidad de asentamientos del tipo pukara del Periodo de Desarrollos Regionales (PDR) en el noroeste de Argentina (NOA). Analizamos la distribución espacio-temporal de pukaras en una escala micro, con datos procedentes de excavaciones y recolecciones de superficie, a los que sumamos información de relatos en fuentes escritas del siglo XVII. Revisamos preconceptos como la exclusividad funcional de asentamiento militar, reductos defensivos, lugares de habitación permanente, así como la asociación con áreas de cultivo a partir de tres casos de estudio. Considerando que en una escala regional siempre se ha priorizado la información generada en la arqueología del valle troncal del río Calchaquí, los datos aquí presentados contribuyen a señalar la importancia de las quebradas altas dentro de la historia prehispánica local. Asimismo, nuestros resultados dan sustento a la variabilidad intersitios de una forma de habitar las quebradas altas durante el PDR donde las esferas de lo doméstico, ceremonial y defensivo se interpelan.In this article, we synthesize the currently-available information from high-altitude ravines in the middle Calchaquí Valley (Salta Province, Argentina), to contribute to an old debate on the functionality of pukaras during the Regional Developments Period (RDP) in northwestern Argentina. We analyze the spatial-temporal distribution of pukaras at a micro-scale along with data from excavations, surface surveys, and historical documents from the seventeenth century. We review some preconceptions such as the functional exclusivity of military settlements, defensive redoubts, places of permanent residence as well as the frequent association with agricultural fields in the study area, based on three case studies. Our data highlight the importance of the high-altitude ravines in preHispanic history, especially considering that information from the main Calchaquí valley has always predominated in regional models. Furthermore, these case studies show inter-site variability in the way RDP societies inhabited the ravines, where we investigate domestic, ceremonial, and defensive spheres.Fil: Williams, Veronica Isabel.

Implicações do princípio da abertura no processo de investigação desde a perspectiva qualitativa

This essay proposes a discussion guided by the objective of contemplating the dimensions of qualitative research in the light of the principle of openness. To this end, we outline a methodological path that discusses openness as a principle for the definition of the investigative context (ontology), in the approach of research purposes (teleology), in its values and motivations that support the use of theory and the relationship with the subjects. involved in the process (epistemology) and, finally, the opening as a premise for the interpretation of the data obtained and the production of theories (methodology). The result is the reflection of an investigative process whose centrality is in the object of study, which is revealed as a preliminary throughout the research when it is built together with those who are close to it, in an action that starts from the researcher's openness to seek it as such. as it is presented in its original context.This essay proposes a discussion guided by the objective of contemplating the dimensions of qualitative research in the light of the principle of openness.

Delayed Puberty Due to a WDR11 Truncation at Its N-Terminal Domain Leading to a Mild Form of Ciliopathy Presenting With Dissociated Central Hypogonadism: Case Report

Pubertal delay in males is frequently due to constitutional delay of growth and puberty, but pathologic hypogonadism should be considered. After general illnesses and primary testicular failure are ruled out, the main differential diagnosis is central (or hypogonadotropic) hypogonadism, resulting from a defective function of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/gonadotropin axis. Ciliopathies arising from defects in non-motile cilia are responsible for developmental disorders affecting the sense organs and the reproductive system. WDR11-mediated signaling in non-motile cilia is critical for fetal development of GnRH neurons. Only missense variants of WDR11 have been reported to date in patients with central hypogonadism, suggesting that nonsense variants could lead to more complex phenotypes. We report the case of a male patient presenting with delayed puberty due to Kallmann syndrome (central hypogonadism associated with hyposmia) in whom the next-generation sequencing analysis identified a novel heterozygous base duplication, leading to a frameshift and a stop codon in the N-terminal region of WDR11. The variant was predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay and classified as probably pathogenic following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) criteria. This is the first report of a variant in the WDR11 N-terminal region predicted to lead to complete expression loss that, contrary to expectations, led to a mild form of ciliopathy resulting in isolated Kallmann syndrome.Fil: Castro, Sebastián.

High-Resolution Decadal Drought Predictions for German Water Boards: A Case Study for the Wupper Catchment

Water boards in Germany require decadal predictions to develop optimized management and adaptation strategies, especially within the claims of flood protection and water distribution management. Specifically, the Wupper catchment water board in western Germany is interested in decadal predictions of drought indices, which are correlated to dam water levels. For the management of small catchments, they need multi-year means and multi-year seasonal means of the hydrological seasons for forecast years 1–3 at high spatial resolution. Thus, the MPI-ESM-LR global decadal prediction system with 16 ensemble members at 200 km resolution was statistically downscaled with EPISODES to ~11 km in Germany. Simulated precipitation was recalibrated, correcting model errors and adjusting the ensemble spread. We tested different recalibration settings to optimize the skill. The 3-year mean and 3-year seasonal mean SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), indicating excess or deficit of precipitation, was calculated. We evaluated the prediction skill with HYRAS observations, applying skill scores and correlation coefficients, and tested the significance of the skill at a 95% level via 1,000 bootstraps. We found that the high-resolution statistical downscaling is able to preserve the skill of the global decadal predictions and that the recalibration can clearly improve the precipitation skill in Germany. Multi-year annual and August–October mean SPI predictions are promising for several regions in Germany. Additionally, there is potential for skill improvement with increasing ensemble size for all temporal aggregations, except for November–January. A user-oriented product sheet was developed and published on the Copernicus Climate Change Service website (https://climate.copernicus.eu/decadal-predictions-infrastructure). It provides 3-year mean probabilistic SPI predictions for the Wupper catchment and north-western Germany. For 2021–2023, a high probability of negative SPI (dry conditions) is predicted in most of the area. The decadal prediction skill is higher than using the observed climatology as reference prediction in several parts of the area. This case study was developed in cooperation with the Wupper catchment water board and discussed with further German water managers: The skill of high-resolution decadal drought predictions is considered to be promising to fulfill their needs. The product sheet is understandable, well-structured and can be applied to their working routines

Transcriptome and gene expression analysis of three developmental stages of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei

Coffee production is a global industry valued at approximately 173 billion US dollars. One of the main challenges facing coffee production is the management of the coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei, which is considered the primary arthropod pest of coffee worldwide. Current control strategies are inefficient for CBB management. Although biotechnological alternatives, including RNA interference (RNAi), have been proposed in recent years to control insect pests, characterizing the genetics of the target pest is essential for the successful application of these emerging technologies. In this study, we employed RNA-seq to obtain the transcriptome of three developmental stages of the CBB (larva, female and male) to increase our understanding of the CBB life cycle in relation to molecular features. The CBB transcriptome was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq and assembled de novo. Differential gene expression analysis was performed across the developmental stages. The final assembly produced 29,434 unigenes, of which 4,664 transcripts were differentially expressed. Genes linked to crucial physiological functions, such as digestion and detoxification, were determined to be tightly regulated between the reproductive and nonreproductive stages of CBB. The data obtained in this study help to elucidate the critical roles that several genes play as regulatory elements in CBB development
