O texto apresenta uma discussão sobre como a formação de professores indígenas se articula com a escola para refletir sobre a língua própria e seus espaços de uso, bem como o ensino da língua portuguesa como segunda língua. As reflexões são resultado de trabalhos realizados no curso de Pedagogia Intercultural Indígena durante as disciplinas do componente Estágio Supervisionado. As análises nos levam a afirmar a importância de a formação garantir espaços de discussão sobre a língua própria pelos professores indígenas e (...) a pesquisa nas suas aldeias sobre a questão. Outro ponto relevante é dedicar um espaço significativo para essas questões na proposta formativa e que dialogue com os projetos societários desses povos. (shrink)

Global discussions are ongoing on how to stimulate antibiotic research and development in order to provide patients with new antibiotics able to address the challenges of antimicrobial resistance. In this supplement, we present nine articles derived from the research performed as part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative-funded DRIVE-AB project and others. These publications provide new evidence and arguments in the debate around economic incentives to stimulate antibiotic innovation, including characteristics, implementation and governance.

This study investigates the possible effects of pre-term births and low birth weight on infant mortality rates (IMRs) over a 15-year period in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, based on surveys carried out in 1978/79 and 1994. The 1978/79 survey included 6750 births over a 12-month period and the 1994 survey 2846 births over a 4-month period. Infant deaths were retrieved monthly from the city register. Infant mortality rate decreased from 36·6 to 16·9 deaths per 1000 over 15 years. The decrease in (...) IMR was larger in the 25000·63); it increased to 0·57 (95% CI 0·350·97) when adjusted for length of gestation and other variables. The increase in pre-term births and low birth weight may have had, at most, a marginal effect on the IMR. Progress in the care of newborns may have decreased the mortality risk, but even mild pre-term birth still has an impact on infant mortality. There is room for further improvement in IMR by tackling the high rates of pre-term birth. (shrink)
