Conceptions about art-education in Brazil: paths between the theory and practice, regular education to NGOs

Este artículo aborda conceptos relacionados a las artes visuales y su enseñanza, teniendo como foco las prácticas de las Organizaciones No-Gubernamentales y más específicamente, de la Asociación Catarinense para la Integración del Ciego- ACIC. Para el desarrollo de esta investigación, se presenta un levantamiento bibliográfico sobre los conceptos aquí discutidos, entre ellos el de Arte-Educación, además del análisis de las entrevistas realizadas con profesores que envuelven arte en sus clases en la ACIC. En esta etapa de la investigación, se analizan dos preguntas de un cuestionario semi-estructurado, referidas a lo que los profesores entienden por arte y de que forma lo utilizan en sus prácticas con los alumnos ciegos. En un primer momento pretendemos establecer relaciones entre lo que dicen los teóricos sobre la enseñanza de las artes y lo que piensan los profesores sobre sus prácticas envolviendo estas. Seguidamente y partiendo de una concepción sobre el arte, fundamentada en los teóricos aquí citados, pasamos para el análisis de las entrevistas realizadas en la ACIC. Como resultado, se percibe que, aunque el arte aparezca en otras prácticas docentes, está más presente en la enseñanza de técnicas de artesanado, hecho que no se caracteriza como arte-educación, teniendo en cuenta que aquella práctica no contempla los objetivos del arte-educación.This paper aims approach the concepts related to visual arts and their teaching, focusing on the practices of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and, more specifically, of Santa Catarina Association for the Integration of the Blind – ACIC n order to develop this research, we present a literature review on the concepts discussed here, among them the one of Art-Education, along with the analysis of interviews with teachers who involve the art in their classes at ACIC. At this first stage of research, we examine two questions from a semi-structured questionnaire, which relate to what teachers mean by art and how they use it in their practice with blind students. In a first moment we intend, in this article, establish relationships between the theoretical says about the art education and what think the teachers about your practices involving these. After and starting a conception about the art, based in the theoretical cited here we pass for the analysis the interviews performed in ACIC As a result it is clear that, although the art appears in other teaching practices, it is more present in the teaching of techniques for craft, a fact that is not characterized as art-education, considering that practice does not include the goals in art-education

práticas artísticas no ensino básico e secundário

A inclusão, a desmaterialização, a difusão das práticas artísticas para novos campos mais além das manualidades, as novas abordagens não formais pelos museus, trouxeram desafios acrescidos à educação artística. O panorama de pesquisa pelos investigadores é cada vez mais exigente e as propostas apresentam abordagens ao Museu sem lugar, ao emtrosamento cultural das pedagogias criticas, a aproximação às identidades, à complexidade da hibridação dos média, à ameaça dos cortes políticos nas esferas de decisão ou à crescente urbanização dos imaginários culturais contemporâneos.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

práticas artísticas no ensino básico e secundário

A Educação Artística joga-se em muito mais locais que no ensino formal. As oportunidades formativas têm sido aproveitadas por museus, bibliotecas, centros culturais, exposições, festivais, associações e plataformas culturais, eventos, plataformas de disseminação artística, edições. Os artistas individuais têm vindo a integrar as dinâmicas relacionais e de criação de públicos nas suas obras, ao convocarem as audiências e implicarem o espectador. O terreno é limitado apenas pela imaginação, e as oportunidades de convocação alargam-se aos novos conteúdos e plataformas digitais, a par com a valorização do que é local e identitário: a revolução pode fazer-se pela cidadania.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Immunoglobulin, glucocorticoid, or combination therapy for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: a propensity-weighted cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a hyperinflammatory condition associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, has emerged as a serious illness in children worldwide. Immunoglobulin or glucocorticoids, or both, are currently recommended treatments. METHODS: The Best Available Treatment Study evaluated immunomodulatory treatments for MIS-C in an international observational cohort. Analysis of the first 614 patients was previously reported. In this propensity-weighted cohort study, clinical and outcome data from children with suspected or proven MIS-C were collected onto a web-based Research Electronic Data Capture database. After excluding neonates and incomplete or duplicate records, inverse probability weighting was used to compare primary treatments with intravenous immunoglobulin, intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, or glucocorticoids alone, using intravenous immunoglobulin as the reference treatment. Primary outcomes were a composite of inotropic or ventilator support from the second day after treatment initiation, or death, and time to improvement on an ordinal clinical severity scale. Secondary outcomes included treatment escalation, clinical deterioration, fever, and coronary artery aneurysm occurrence and resolution. This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry, ISRCTN69546370. FINDINGS: We enrolled 2101 children (aged 0 months to 19 years) with clinically diagnosed MIS-C from 39 countries between June 14, 2020, and April 25, 2022, and, following exclusions, 2009 patients were included for analysis (median age 8·0 years [IQR 4·2-11·4], 1191 [59·3%] male and 818 [40·7%] female, and 825 [41·1%] White). 680 (33·8%) patients received primary treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, 698 (34·7%) with intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, 487 (24·2%) with glucocorticoids alone; 59 (2·9%) patients received other combinations, including biologicals, and 85 (4·2%) patients received no immunomodulators. There were no significant differences between treatments for primary outcomes for the 1586 patients with complete baseline and outcome data that were considered for primary analysis. Adjusted odds ratios for ventilation, inotropic support, or death were 1·09 (95% CI 0·75-1·58; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids and 0·93 (0·58-1·47; corrected p value=1·00) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Adjusted average hazard ratios for time to improvement were 1·04 (95% CI 0·91-1·20; corrected p value=1·00) for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids, and 0·84 (0·70-1·00; corrected p value=0·22) for glucocorticoids alone, versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Treatment escalation was less frequent for intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids (OR 0·15 [95% CI 0·11-0·20]; p<0·0001) and glucocorticoids alone (0·68 [0·50-0·93]; p=0·014) versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone. Persistent fever (from day 2 onward) was less common with intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids compared with either intravenous immunoglobulin alone (OR 0·50 [95% CI 0·38-0·67]; p<0·0001) or glucocorticoids alone (0·63 [0·45-0·88]; p=0·0058). Coronary artery aneurysm occurrence and resolution did not differ significantly between treatment groups. INTERPRETATION: Recovery rates, including occurrence and resolution of coronary artery aneurysms, were similar for primary treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin when compared to glucocorticoids or intravenous immunoglobulin plus glucocorticoids. Initial treatment with glucocorticoids appears to be a safe alternative to immunoglobulin or combined therapy, and might be advantageous in view of the cost and limited availability of intravenous immunoglobulin in many countries.

Museos virtuales: una mirada a partir de la inclusión

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo hacer una reflexión sobre el papel de los museos virtuales como diseminadores de la cultura africana y afro-brasileña en el país. En Brasil en el año 2003 fue aprobada una política pública, la ley 10.639/2003, con la intención de minimizar los males causados a la población negra por las diferentes vías de exclusión. Pretendemos abordar el tema desde el punto de vista de los Museos Virtuales como productores de materiales para la formación de profesores de arte.
