(...) segundo maior bioma da América do Sul,
ocupando uma área de 2 036 448 km², cerca de
22% do território nacional. A sua área contínua
(...) resulta em um elevado potencial aquífero e
favorece a sua biodiversidade.
Considerado como um dos *hotspots mundiais de
biodiversidade (...) Além dos aspectos ambientais,
esse bioma brasileiro tem grande importância
social. Muitas populações sobrevivem de seus
recursos naturais, incluindo etnias indígenas,
quilombolas, geraizeiros, ribeirinhos, babaçueiros
e vazanteiros (...) Contudo, inúmeras espécies de
plantas e animais correm risco de extinção. Estimase que 20% das espécies nativas e endêmicas
já não ocorram em áreas protegidas e que pelo
menos 137 espécies de animais estão ameaçadas
de extinção. Depois da Mata Atlântica, este é o
bioma brasileiro que mais sofreu alterações com a
ocupação humana.
Nas três últimas décadas, esse bioma vem sendo
degradado pela expansão da fronteira agrícola
brasileira.

Technology brought us fake news — and it will
help us kill it
“Fake news” - websites disseminating news stories
that are false but are believed to be true – was a major
feature of the U.S. election season. Some observers
believe that it determined the outcome of the election,
although there is no way to definitively ascertain its
effect on voting.
Fake news is news that affects the digital universe
profoundly. Fake news grew because of the ease
of creating and disseminating websites and stories
that look and read as credible as real news sites
(at least to many people). It is disseminated on
social media platforms just because dissemination
of information without vetting has always been a
feature of those platforms. This was designed to
facilitate communication - no one removes a negative
comment about a restaurant on Facebook.
On the positive side, this means that everyone’s
opinion can be disseminated. The awareness of fake
news, though, reveals a downside – or perhaps a loophole
– of the freedom to post. And fake news may beget1
fake news. Facebook is not the only media company
to be an inadvertent host for fake news, but it is by far
the largest, with roughly 2 billion users each month.
Forbes indicates that the fallout2
from fake news
during the election cycle may cause advertisers to
pull back from Facebook, as it is less “brand safe” than
formerly. If unchecked, fake news could impact the
perceived credibility of online sites where fake news
runs. Since the election, Facebook has announced
plans to refine and increase automated detection of
fake news and to make reporting of suspected stories
easier for Facebook users. It has also indicated that the
current ad system will be changed, to interfere with
fake news sites receiving revenue from Facebook.

Biologia
A análise dos padrões genéticos e ecológicos de diversas espécies foi fundamental para a emergência de um novo
campo de pesquisa no final do século XX: a Sociobiologia, segundo a qual a predominância do trabalho coletivo
sobre o individual é uma das condições para a existência de sociedades complexas, como as encontradas entre os
Hymenoptera (formigas, abelhas), os Isoptera (cupins) e os Homo sapiens. Entretanto, algumas espécies perderam
evolutivamente a capacidade de trabalhar coletivamente.

O ser humano é único em sua essência. Ele tem personalidade própria, necessidades que o motivam e o medo das mudanças repentinas. E é justamente isso que nos faz tão diferentes uns dos outros e com uma visão de mundo totalmente diversificada. Alguns pesquisadores se interessaram em estudar o ser humano para entender um pouco melhor essa diversidade. Um desses estudiosos foi Abraham Maslow, que desenvolveu a Teoria da Hierarquia das Necessidades Humanas. Ele explica em suas pesquisas que os aspectos motivacionais das pessoas estão diretamente ligados ao entendimento das necessidades humanas. Portanto, motivação é o resultado dos estímulos que agem sobre as pessoas levando-as à ação. Ou seja, para que haja ação ou reação, é preciso que um estímulo seja implementado, seja decorrente de coisa externa ou proveniente do próprio organismo. Por isso, o ser humano tem a necessidade de ser aceito socialmente (no trabalho, na escola/faculdade, nos grupos de amigos etc.), de ser amado, reconhecido, de pertencer e fazer parte de algo, de ser notado positivamente, de ser útil, de atender a suas necessidades fisiológicas, de segurança, de autoestima e de autorrealização. <https://tinyurl.com/y968aj3g> Acesso em: 07.11.2017.

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you
dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring with your moon. I want to know if you have
touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have
become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with
joy, mine or even your own; if you can dance with the wilderness and let the ecstasy fill you to
the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember
the limitations of being a human.
It doesn´t interest me if the story you´re telling me is true. I want to know if you can risk
disappointing another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not
betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy. I want
to know if you can see beauty even when it´s not pretty every day, and if you can source your
life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand
on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the moon, “YES”.
It doesn´t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if
you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what
needs to be done for the children. It doesn´t matter to me who you are, how you came to be
here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn´t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what
sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with
yourself; and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
