(UFU - 2017- 1 FASE) Most Teens Take a Voluntary Week-Long Break From Social Media by Barbara Ortutay The common stereotype has teens glued to their phones 24-7. But nearly 60 percent of teens in the U.S. have actually taken a break from social media the bulk of them voluntarily, a new survey found. The poll, from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, surveyed teens aged 13 to 17 and found that most value the feeling of connection with friends and family that social media provides. A much smaller number associate it with negative emotions, such as being overwhelmed or needing to always show their best selves. The survey, released Thursday, found that teens social media breaks are typically a week or longer, and that boys are more likely to take longer breaks.

(UFU - 2017 - 2 FASE) Stressed out: providing laboratory animals with behavioral control to reduce the physiological effects of stress by Brianna N. Gaskill and Joseph P. Garner Laboratory animals experience a large amount of environmental stress. An animals environment can include both physiological and social stressors that may require an animal to adapt to maintain allostatic balance. For example, thermal stress can lead to changes in behavior, reproduction and immune function, which has been detrimental to cancer modeling in mice. Chronic uncontrollable stress is widely acknowledged for its negative alterations to physiology. However, there is a lack in the understanding of how the laboratory environment affects animal physiology and behavior, particularly as it relates to characteristics of the human disease being modeled. Given the evidence on how stressors affect physiology, it is clear that efforts to model human physiology in animal models must consider animal stress as a confounding factor. We present evidence illustrating that providing captive animals with control or predictability is the best way to reduce the negative physiological effects of these difficult-to-manage stressors.

(UFU - 2017 - 2 FASE) Programming as a Way of Thinking by Allen Downey In first generation languages like FORTRAN and C, the burden was on programmers to translate high-level concepts into code. With modern programming languages ll use Python as an example we use functions, objects, modules, and libraries to extend the language, and that doesnt just make programs better, it changes what programming is. Programming used to be about translation: expressing ideas in natural language, working with them in math notation, then writing flowcharts and pseudocode, and finally writing a program. Translation was necessary because each language offers different capabilities. Natural language is expressive and readable, pseudocode is more precise, math notation is concise, and code is executable. But the price of translation is that we are limited to the subset of ideas we can express effectively in each language. The power of modern programming languages is that they are expressive, readable, concise, precise, and executable. That means we can eliminate middleman languages and use one language to explore, learn, teach, and think.

(UFU - 2017 - 2 FASE) Coca-Cola Is Adding Fiber to Coke. Does That Make It Healthy? by Cynthia Sass When I heard about Coca-Cola Plus, a zero-calorie Coke with added fiber, I thought it was an April Fools joke I somehow missed. Especially when the company claimed this ridiculous product is meant for a health-conscious consumer. According to Coca-Cola, one Coke Plus a day which is currently available only in Japan can help suppress fat absorption and moderate the levels of triglycerides in the blood. Even if a double-blind study comparing Coke Plus to a placebo supported these claims, still wouldnt recommend the soda. First of all, the added fiber is bundled with an artificial sweetener, and artificial sweeteners can wreak havoc in the body. Studies suggest they may increase sweet cravings, alter gut bacteria, potentially induce glucose intolerance, raise stroke and dementia risk, and modify metabolism in ways that increase body fat.

(UFU - 2017 - 2 FASE) Ancient-human genomes plucked from cave dirt by Ewen Callaway Bones and teeth arent the only ways to learn about extinct human relatives. For the first time, researchers have recovered ancient-human DNA without having obvious remains just dirt from the caves the hominins lived in. The technique opens up a new way to probe prehistory. From sediments in European and Asian caves, a team led by geneticist Viviane Slon and molecular biologist Matthias Meyer, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, sequenced genomes of cell structures called mitochondria from Neanderthals and another hominin group, the Denisovans. Slon and Meyer are not the first to decode ancient dirt. Palaeogeneticist Eske Willerslev of the Natural History Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen pioneered the approach in 2003, to find out about the plants and animals that populated prehistoric environments. Using the technique, he and his team revealed that Greenland was once richly forested. But Slon and Meyer are the first to use the technique on hominin DNA.

(UFU - 2016 - 2 FASE) Im really enjoying life in a foreign country, however there is always the odd home comfort I really miss (usually food). The other day I was craving nothing more than a good old English breakfast so I searched high and low in the French supermarket to stock up on ingredients to make one. A traditional full English breakfast, also commonly known as a fry up, consists of the following: eggs (either fried or scrambled); bacon; sausage; toast or fried bread; baked beans; hash browns; tomato; mushrooms. This is usually served with ketchup on the side, a glass of orange juice and of course a big cup of tea. Often people are mistaken that this is the kind of thing British people eat at the start of every day but that is rarely the case. A full English is usually something wed have as a special treat at the weekend for a lazy morning relaxing with friends. I dont think I could have one every day, just imagine eating all that every morning! Disponvel em: http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org. Acesso em: dez. 2015. RESPONDA A QUESTO EM INGLS.

(UFU - 2016 - 2 FASE)Can internationalisation be a negative force? Brendan OMalley Universities around the world are continuing to internationalise at an ever faster pace. They want their students to have trans-continental horizons when it comes to the world of work, and are hungry to be involved in worldwide research collaborations. So its only natural that universities are keen to develop international partnerships with other universities. Many value internationalisation as a way to improve education and research locally, through knowledge and technology exchanges, access to world-class education, international benchmarking of methods and teaching practices, education diplomacy, and interaction with other countries. But is this always so? If institutions from emerging countries partner with those from rich countries, will Western models and assumptions, or even the use of English, dominate, unbalancing the relationship and deepening the disadvantages for the weaker partner? Recognising and addressing some of the potentially negative sides of internationalisation will be an area of debate at this years Going Global 2016, the open forum for global education leaders hosted by the British Council in Cape Town, South Africa, on 3-5 May.

(UFU - 2016 - 2 FASE)A recent combined report from the British Council and Oxford University states that there is a fast-moving worldwide shift from English being taught as a foreign language (EFL) to English being the medium of instruction (EMI) for academic subjects. Growing out of the bilingual education movement of the 1950s in Europe and Canada, the pace of implementation today is rapidly advancing, being referred to by some as a potential pandemic or revolution. In 2002 there were over 800 EMI programmes operating in Europe alone. Today there are well over 6400 and a growing number in various other traditionally English-as-a-foreign-language countries around the world. French universities, for example, are now legally allowed to offer a limited number of classes in English and Italys Politecnico di Milano began teaching all of its graduate classes in English in 2014. In short, the move to use English as the lingua franca of higher education globally is seen as the single most significant current trend in internationalising higher education. In Asia too, universities in countries like China, Taiwan, Korea Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia are increasingly adopting English as a way to gain access to cutting-edge knowledge, enhance national competitiveness in innovation and knowledge production and, naturally, as a strategy for improving graduates English proficiency. Japan has also increasingly begun to experiment with EMI classes, although originally for slightly different reasons. Disponvel em: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1060798.pdf.

(UFU - 2016 - 1 FASE) Teen Texting: Girls versus Boys By Victoria Stern A new study from the American Psychological Association evaluated how 211 girls and 192 boys communicated via text and found notable gender differences in overall behavior and compulsive use: Teenage girls use texting for social connection, whereas boys mostly use it to convey information. Boys and girls send about the same number of texts every day, but girls are more likely to become compulsive texters. Teenage girls who compulsively text see a steeper decline in their grades than their compulsive male counterparts. The researchers suggest the social content of girls messages may be more likely to distract them from their academic tasks. Compulsive texting also appears to affect girls mental health more than boys, perhaps because girls are more prone to text about negative feelings and to ruminate on those feelings.

(UFU - 2016 - 1 FASE) Oscar-Winning Movies By Rachel Swalin Citizen Kane may be considered one of the greatest films ever made, yet this Orson Welles grand tale of a newspaper magnates rise and fall lost out on Best Picture in 1942. Instead, the prize went to How Green Was My Valley, a drama depicting the struggles of a Welsh mining family. As director, co-author, producer, and star, Welles had every hand in the making of Citizen Kane, but his controversial film, thought to be based on media mogul William Randolph Hearst, managed to alienate him from Hollywood. How Green Was My Valley, from director John Ford, proved to be a more sentimental favorite of the time. Disponvel em:https://www.rd.com/culture/surprising-oscar-winning-movies/ .

(UFU - 2016 - 1 FASE) The most effective way to protect yourself from the Zika virus is to prevent mosquito bites By Kelsey Kloss Many Americans are relatively protected from the Zika virus at the moment because mosquitoes die or go into hibernation in cold winter weather. When temperatures rise to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit, however, mosquitoes can reappear and spread disease. The Aedes mosquitos feed during the day and fly into houses for shade living and reproducing very close to people. Just one tablespoon of water can serve as a mosquito breeding ground and produce up to 300 mosquitoes. The insects can breed in the bottom of a glass in the bathroom (like one you use to brush your teeth with) or in a film of water next to the sink. Eliminate standing water throughout the home, including in flower pots, bottles, and accumulating garbage. Have a pool? No need to drain mosquitos are deterred by the chlorine that keeps the pool clean and safe for swimming. Disponvel em:https://www.rd.com/health/wellness/avoid-zika-mosquito-bites/ .
