On the experience of a black teacher teaching in higher (private) education

Não há dúvidas que falar sobre profissão de mulheres negras implica em percepção identitária, em percepção de gênero, assim como percepção de raça e suas consequências no que se refere aos preconceitos e aos movimentos de discriminação referentes a este grupo específico: mulher negra, profissional de nível superior. Ora, no imaginário racista, o lugar da mulher negra ainda é na subserviência. Neste sentido, quando esta mulher se arvora a romper com este imaginário e ampliar suas fronteiras de pertencimento social, ela se expõe a ser alvo de toda essa complexa relação cultural brasileira que nos faz racistas e não nos responsabilizarmos por isto. Tanto a cultura machista quanto a cultura racista, que nos antecede, só é atualizada porque, de uma maneira ativa ou passiva, nós a reproduzimos. Precisamos, portanto, ter consciência de nossas responsabilidades na promoção e continuidade de relações que tiram do outro (negros e negras) o seu direito e sua humanidade.There is no doubt that talking about professional black women implies identity perception, perception of gender, as well as perceptions of race and its consequences with regard to prejudice and discrimination movements relating to this specific group: black woman top-level professional. Now in the racist imagery, the place of the black woman is still in subservience. In this regard, when this woman rises up to break this imagery and expand her boundaries of social belonging, she exposes herself as a target of all this complex Brazilian cultural relationship that makes us racist and we do not consider ourselves responsible for it. Both the macho culture as well as the racist culture which precedes us, is only kept up because in an active or passive way, we reproduce it. We must therefore be aware of our responsibilities in the promotion and continuity of relationships that take away from the other ( the black people) their right and their humanity

Diferentes Caminhos entre Negros e Negras no Ensino Superior. Estudo de Gênero e Raça.

Este estudo enfoca as variáveis de gênero e raça a partir da sua influência na permanência, na evasão e no sucesso acadêmico, e seus reflexos na construção de uma capacitação profissional de nível superior dos (a)s estudantes bolsistas negros (as) em uma instituição privada em Porto Alegre (RS). A crítica é feita a partir de uma prática em um Programa de Ações Afirmativas através da educação de nível superior. A busca do ensino superior privado tem sido maior por parte de mulheres negras do que de homens negros, contrariando os indicativos do ensino fundamental e médio, que aponta o privilégio dos homens negros em detrimento das mulheres negras. Percebe-se que, ainda que o recorte raça seja pontuado, os caminhos que as negras percorrem têm sido diferenciado dos percorridos pelos negros em busca de ascensão social via educação

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in animal production: Review

El análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica (AIB) es un método basado en los diferentes niveles de oposición al flujo de una corriente iónica a través de los diversos tejidos corporales. Los resultados se expresan mediante medidas primarias de resistencia (Rs) y reactancia (Xs). A partir de estas medidas, se aplican ecuaciones para determinar el ángulo de fase (AF) y la impedancia (Z). El análisis de bioimpedancia ha sido indicado como un método fiable y preciso para determinar la composición corporal y el estado nutricional en los seres humanos. El AIB se ha adaptado recientemente para ser aplicado en la producción animal. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta revisión es proporcionar un análisis sobre el uso potencial de la impedancia bioeléctrica en la producción zootécnica. A través del AIB se pueden establecer correlaciones entre las medidas bioeléctricas y la composición de los tejidos de los cadáveres de los cerdos, los bovinos, los ovinos, los bufalinos y los peces. En este sentido, entre el número creciente de demandas destaca la de contar con métodos más precisos y rentables para evaluar la composición corporal en el sector zootécnico, entre los que el análisis de la impedancia bioeléctrica demostró ser una tecnología prometedora y mínimamente invasiva para reemplazar los métodos tradicionales.Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method based on the different levels of opposition to the flow of an ionic current through the different body tissues. Results are expressed by primary measures of resistance (Rs) and reactance (Xs). From such measures, equations are applied to determine the phase angle (PA) and impedance (Z). Bioimpedance analysis has been indicated as a reliable and precise method to determine the body composition and nutritional status in humans. BIA has recently been adapted to be applied on animal production. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an analysis on the potential use of bioelectrical impedance on zootechnical production. Through BIA, correlations among bioelectrical measures and tissue composition of swine, bovine, ovine, bubaline and fish carcasses can be established. In this regard, a growing number of demands were led by more precise and cost-effective methods to evaluate the body composition in the zootechnical sector, in which the analysis of bioelectrical impedance proved to be a promising and minimally invasive technology to replace traditional methods.

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

Mitochondrial physiology

As the knowledge base and importance of mitochondrial physiology to evolution, health and disease expands, the necessity for harmonizing the terminology concerning mitochondrial respiratory states and rates has become increasingly apparent. The chemiosmotic theory establishes the mechanism of energy transformation and coupling in oxidative phosphorylation. The unifying concept of the protonmotive force provides the framework for developing a consistent theoretical foundation of mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics. We follow the latest SI guidelines and those of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) on terminology in physical chemistry, extended by considerations of open systems and thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The concept-driven constructive terminology incorporates the meaning of each quantity and aligns concepts and symbols with the nomenclature of classical bioenergetics. We endeavour to provide a balanced view of mitochondrial respiratory control and a critical discussion on reporting data of mitochondrial respiration in terms of metabolic flows and fluxes. Uniform standards for evaluation of respiratory states and rates will ultimately contribute to reproducibility between laboratories and thus support the development of data repositories of mitochondrial respiratory function in species, tissues, and cells. Clarity of concept and consistency of nomenclature facilitate effective transdisciplinary communication, education, and ultimately further discovery
