The environment can modify developmental trajectories and generate a range of distinct phenotypes without altering an organism’s genome, a widespread phenomenon called developmental plasticity. The past decades have seen a resurgent interest in understanding how developmental plasticity contributes to evolutionary processes, as it can produce phenotypic variation among individuals and facilitate diversification among populations that inhabit distinct ecological niches. To better understand the importance of plastic responses for evolutionary change, we need to explore how the environment alters development to produce phenotypic variation and then compare this to how genetic variation influences these same developmental processes.(...)

A universidade no Espaço Europeu de Educação Superior (EEES) assume-se como um espaço aberto e permeável a mudanças no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem, reduzindo os “conhecimentos mortos, a favor de conhecimentos vivos”, diversificando metodologias de trabalho (aulas práticas, workshops, seminários, tutorias conjuntas, e-learning, entre outras) e valorizando a relação pedagógica. A ênfase mais ou menos atribuída às Praticas/Practicum nos diferentes planos de estudo de cada universidade, a sua distribuição e organização ao longo da formação, prescrevem a cientificidade do trajeto de construção, desconstrução, co-construção e reconstrução do perfil, competências e identidade profissionais do estudante em formação. Amplia-se a função e ação do professor tutor/supervisor universitário que, sustentado num enfoque formativo competencial, assume ser mais do que um responsável pela formação integral dos estudantes integrando uma aprendizagem profissional relacionadas com o saber e o saber-fazer, mas também está implicado na aquisição e desenvolvimento de um conjunto de habilidades sociais, éticas e de valores humanos relacionados com o saber-ser e o saber-estar. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o papel dos tutores/supervisores de Práticas/Practicum nos processos de construção e desenvolvimento de competências e identidade profissional através de processos de mediação e transferência de conhecimento profissional. Neste trabalho apresentamos os resultados parciais de um estudo de caso de carácter descritivo-interpretativo. Analisam-se as entrevistas (n=11) realizadas a professores universitários que em 2012-13 constituíam o corpo de tutores de Practicum dos cursos de Educação de Infância e Ensino do1º ciclo do Ensino Básico da Universidade Autónoma de Barcelona. Os resultados valorizam mais os aspetos organizacionais do que os curriculares. As preocupações com o desenvolvimento de competências conceptuais (saber) e procedimentais (saber-fazer) estão mais presentes nos discursos dos tutores/supervisores do que as competências relacionais intra e interpessoais (saber-ser, saber-estar).

The Bananal Island is regarded the largest fluvial island in the world, bounded by Araguaia and Javaés rivers, being located in southwest of Tocantins. The objectives of this work were to provide information about the vegetational changes that occurred at the Bananal Island, in order to contribute to the understanding the dynamics of past and current savanna and areas of ecotones with forests. Thus, a sedimentary core collected from a small lake at the Bananal Island plain was submitted to pollen and radiocarbon dating analyses. The results showed that the last millennium was dominated by forest reflecting a wet climate. At the beginning of the record (920-770 yr cal BP) the wet climate and high rainfall produced flooding during long rainy seasons that maintained the Javaés River connected to the studied lake, and hence, this environment was marked by the presence of a homogenous forest rich in Moraceae/Urticaceae, due to flooded soils occurrence. During the following period (770-304 yr cal BP) the reduced rainfall and shortening of the rainy seasons isolated the lake from the Javaés River for long periods, which caused a diversification of the forest and gave rise to the appearance of the components of floodplain forest and marsh vegetation adapted to waterlogged soils. Since 304 years cal BP to the present day this environment remained dominated by this diverse forest and the lacustrine conditions were also similar to previous phase, with a slight increase of moisture in the last 84 years that caused the increase of Piranhea.

Silk fibroin is a commonly available natural biopolymer produced in specialized glands of arthropods, such as silkworms or spiders, scorpions, mites, bees and flies. This biopolymer has a long history of use in textile production and also as sutures or treatment of skin wounds. Silk fibroin has been increasingly explored in other areas of biomedical science where we can find a higher morphological diversification of silk biomaterials like films, electrospun fibers, 3D porous scaffolds or nanoparticles. In recent years it has been demonstrated that fibroin is an excellent material for active components in optical devices. This new application opens the way towards the development of multifunctional optoelectronic devices, which in perspective can be made fully biocompatible and eventually bioresorbable. Moreover, fibroin can be added to other biocomponents in order to modify the biomaterial properties leading to optimized and total different functions. These improvements can go from higher cell adhesion in tissue engineering or enhanced optical transparency, smoothness or flexibility in optoelectronic devices. The tuning and completely understanding of silk fibers physicochemical properties and interaction with other elements are of crucial importance for the improvement of already existent silk-based materials and the basis for the development of new products.

There are two significant reasons for the uncertainties of water demand. On one hand, an evolving technological world is plagued with accelerated change in lifestyles and consumption patterns; and on the other hand, intensifying climate change. Therefore, with an uncertain future, what enables policymakers to define the state of water resources, which are affected by withdrawals and demands? Through a case study based on thirteen years of observation data in the Zayandeh Rud River basin in Isfahan province located in Iran, this paper forecasts a wide range of urban water demand possibilities in order to create a portfolio of plans which could be utilized by different water managers. A comparison and contrast of two existing methods are discussed, demonstrating the Random Walk Methodology, which will be referred to as the â On uncertainty pathâ , because it takes the uncertainties into account and can be recommended to managers. This On Uncertainty Path is composed of both dynamic forecasting method and system simulation. The outcomes show the advantage of such methods particularly for places that climate change will aggravate their water scarcity, such as Iran.
