(UFU - 2020) Some schools make the kids place phones in a locker. Others require them to be checked in at the front office. But some are OK having students keep them in a backpack or pocket, so long as theyre turned off. At some schools, the decision about whether to let a kid have a phone in class is up to individual teachers, who may be reluctant to assume the role of enforcer. In fact, some teachers see the phones as an asset and actually incorporate phone use as part of their lessons. In July, California passed a law that gives public and charter schools the authority to prohibit cellphone use in the classroom, except during emergencies or other special circumstances, such as when a doctor determines that a student needs a phone for health reasons. Some schools implement one-to-one programs to provide computers, tablets or other mobile devices to each student. Other cash-strapped districts may have to share tech gear in the classroom. And some educators may even encourage students to bring their own devices for class use. Its safe to assume that most schools arent about to dictate to a parent that a kid can or cannot use a device on the way to or from school, though some do actually ask families to sign commitments to temper tech use. Those who say cellphones should be permitted in schools often cite educational benefits. For example, kids might be making movies or studying. Have a plan, not a ban, Liz Kline, vice president for education at Common Sense Education in the San Francisco Bay Area, told USA TODAY in 2018. Even those who favor cellphone use in the classroom acknowledge those times, however, when phones ought to be put away or even collected by teachers, no questions asked, namely during test time. The sad truth: Some students use phones to cheat. Edward C. Baig. Disponvel em: https://www.usatoday.com. Acesso em: 08 fev. 2019 Based on the text, answer the following questions. A) What can schools do to avoid the use of cellphones in the classroom? B) Explain why cellphones should be allowed in schools.

(UFU - 2020) Some call the Amazon the lungs of the world, because the rainforest breathes in carbon and exhales oxygen. Canada is home to what some call the northern lungs the boreal forest stretching from Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, covering 55 per cent of Canadas land mass. The amount of oxygen forests produce is difficult to calculate and often exaggerated, but theres no doubt forests are important for human survival. The boreal is also under threat from rapid development and global heating. As with recent massive wildfires elsewhere, climate change is increasing the boreal fire season and fuelling intense burning over larger areas than ever regardless of whether fires are set by lightning, arsonists or sparks from machinery or a train wheel. Warmer winters have also facilitated the spread of tree-destroying insects like mountain pine beetles that cold winters once kept in check. Intact forests produce oxygen and provide many other services beneficial to humans. They sequester carbon, which helps regulate global temperatures. They prevent runoff, slides and flooding. They maintain and filter water. They provide food and other necessities for people, and habitat for plants and animals. In the midst of its fires, Australia has been hit by extreme weather events, including terrifying massive dust storms, battering hail and flood-producing torrential rains. Smoke from the fires is also a potent greenhouse gas. So, as a heating planet causes more forests to burn, the fires release even more carbon into the atmosphere, creating feedback loops that accelerate warming. What will it take for politicians and others to listen? As Greta Thunberg warns, our home is on fire. It will get worse if we fail to change our ways, quickly. But politicians and industry keep expanding fossil fuel development, trying to cash in before markets fall in the face of better alternatives and climate chaos. Our economic systems still run on endless growth and consumerism, creating unconscionable waste and devastation. We judge how well the economy is performing in part by how quickly we are tearing up the world. Were hostage to a lack of political will and imagination. Wake up humanity! All that money and power wont mean anything if we destroy our only home. David Suzuki.Disponvel em: https://community.davidsuzuki.org. Acesso em: 08 fev. 2019.

(UFU - 2020 - 1 FASE)As researchers fight to stop the spread of a novel coronavirus that originated in a seafood market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, they are facing a counter-intuitive problem: the symptoms can sometimes be so mild in patients that the virus is very difficult to detect. The coronavirus initially came to authorities attention in December after patients began exhibiting symptoms of viral pneumonia, including fever, cough and shortness of breath. But researchers, including those at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have noted that some of those with the Wuhan coronavirus have shown little to no symptoms. A study published in the medical journal the Lancet on Jan. 24 reported that a 10-year-old who was infected with the virus had no symptoms at all. We have seen patients, especially children, who have pneumonia, but have no symptoms, no fever or cough, which means that its not easy to recognize these cases of novel coronavirus infection, which makes the control of this outbreak more difficult, says Yuen Kwok-yung, a microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong, and one of the authors of the Lancet study.

(UFU - 2020 - 1 FASE)Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a condition in which there is compression of the nerves, arteries, or veins in the passageway from the lower neck to the armpit. There are three main types: neurogenic, venous, and arterial. The neurogenic type is the most common and presents with pain, weakness, and occasionally loss of muscle at the base of the thumb. The venous type results in swelling, pain, and possibly a bluish coloration of the arm. The arterial type results in pain, coldness, and paleness of the arm. TOS may result from trauma, repetitive arm movements, tumors, pregnancy, or anatomical variations such as a cervical rib. Initial treatment for the neurogenic type is with exercises to strengthen the chest muscles and improve posture. NSAIDs such as naproxen may be used for pain. Surgery is typically done for the arterial and venous types and for the neurogenic type if it does not improve with other treatments. Blood thinners may be used to treat or prevent blood clots. The condition affects about 1% of the population. It is more common in women than men and it occurs most commonly between 20 and 50 years of age.

(UFU - 2020 - 1 FASE)Scientists have developed what they call living concrete by using sand, gel and bacteria. Researchers said this building material has structural load-bearing function, is capable of self-healing and is more environmentally friendly than concrete which is the second most-consumed material on Earth after water. The team from the University of Colorado Boulder believe their work paves the way for future building structures that could heal their own cracks, suck up dangerous toxins from the air or even glow on command.

(UFU - 2020 - 1 FASE)On Tuesday, Merriam-Webster selected its word of the year, not some viral neologism like post-truth or selfie but a word that has been around since the Middle Ages: the pronoun they. Pronouns are tools that people typically use with all the thought one gives to using doorknobs. Students are taught in early language lessons that every sentence needs a subject and are given a short list of usual suspects: words like he, she, you and they. The latter, they are told, is used to refer to more than one person. Yet thats not always the case. Merriam-Webster chose the singular form, one that has been gaining currency and causing controversy. There are two reasons that singular they is on the upswing. One is that its a convenient way to refer to an unknown person in a gender-neutral way, versus using cumbersome constructions like he or she. In recent years, it has been far easier to find this generic they in mass media because using it makes life easier for readers and writers alike. Katy Steinmetz Disponvel em: https://time.com/.

(UFU - 2020 - 1 FASE)Our tongues can get fat. And scientists say losing tongue weight might be an effective way to manage obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that affects an estimated 22 million Americans.Thats according to a study published this week in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania exploring the surprising relationship between tongue fat and sleep apnea. The researchers found that when overweight people with sleep apnea lost pounds, their tongues also got smaller. And, of all the changes that occurred as a result of slimming down, a reduction in tongue fat had the biggest impact on improving sleep apnea. Until now, it was unclear why weight loss helps manage the sleep condition. Disponvel em: https://www.discovermagazine.com/Acesso em: 02 fev. 2020.

Take the wily fox who always cheats the other animals with his sly words. Thats not a bad metaphor for a certain kind of politician, is it? With democracies around the world threatened by the seemingly unstoppable onslaught of false information, Finland recently rated Europes most resistant nation to fake news takes the fight seriously enough to teach it in primary school. In secondary schools, such as the state-run college in Helsinki where Kivinen is head teacher, multiplatform information literacy and strong critical thinking have become a core, cross-subject component of a national curriculum that was introduced in 2016. In maths lessons, Kivinens pupils learn how easy it is to lie with statistics. In art, they see how an images meaning can be manipulated. In history, they analyse notable propaganda campaigns, while Finnish language teachers work with them on the many ways in which words can be used to confuse, mislead and deceive. The goal is active, responsible citizens and voters, Kivinen said. Thinking critically, factchecking, interpreting and evaluating all the information you receive, wherever it appears, is crucial. Weve made it a core part of what we teach, across all subjects. Jon Henley Disponvel em:https://www.theguardian.com/international. Acesso em: 08 fev. 2020.
