From December 2008 to October 2009, a seasonal investigation was conducted on the phytoplankton' s community structure and its relationships with environmental factors in Datong Lake. With the comparison of the historical data in 1960, the potential effects of intensive aquaculture on the aquatic environment were analyzed, aimed to provide theoretical support for the sustainable fishery of freshwater lakes. A total of 98 phytoplankton species belonging to 7 phyla and 54 genera were collected, among which, Peridinium bipes, Chroomonas acuta, Chlorella vulgaris, Crytomonas ovate, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Crytomonas erosa, Anabaena circinalis, Microcystis aeruginosa, and Anabaena azotica were the dominant species, and had obvious seasonal variations. The mean annual cell density of the phytoplankton was 1.84 x 10(6) cells x L(-1), being the highest in summer (16.4 x 10(6) cells x L(-1)) and ranged from 1.71 x 10(6) to 1.98 x 10(6) cells x L(-1) in the other three seasons. The values of the abundance index, Shannon index, and Pielou index of the phytoplankton community were 2.01-4.55, 1.26-2.69, and 0.69-1.27, respectively. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) showed that water depth, water temperature, transparency, and water total phosphorus content, oxidation-reduction potential, and electrical conductivity were the main environmental factors affecting the phytoplankton community structure in the Lake.

[The emancipatory perspective of health literacy in Brazil: contributions from the Freirean thought to knowledge translation regarding a global concept].

This article seeks to reveal the potential for applying key principles of Freirean pedagogy for the effective translation of knowledge and practices associated with the concept of health literacy followed worldwide, based on a critical and emancipatory perspective. It starts from the observation that the process of adopting the concept in Brazil has been more utilitarian than critical, with initiatives predominantly focused on the translation and use of instruments to assess health literacy among population groups. In doing so, this approach has overlooked the academic contributions, practical actors, and social movements in various regions of the country, regarding the application of principles and values of Paulo Freire's thought for the emancipatory promotion of health for individuals and population groups.

Comments on "Reflections on the Inclusion of Direct-Care Physicians as Educators in Community Hospitals".

Rev Col Bras Cir

- Universidade de São Paulo, Anestesiologia - São Paulo - SP - Brasil.

We discuss the arguments exposed in the Letter to the Editor "Reflections on the Inclusion of Direct-Care Physicians as Educators in Community Hospitals", exploring the teaching competencies necessary for community preceptors in the context of medical education, highlighting the growing responsibility of these professionals in the training of future physicians in health-deprived regions. From a narrative review, we analyze faculty development (FD) programs, emphasizing their importance in improving teaching skills, creating support networks, and providing personalized content for specific challenges. Among the competence domains identified are teaching skills, evaluation criteria, professionalism, communication, and leadership/management.

This paper discusses the increasing trend of direct-care physicians taking on teaching roles in community hospitals, both in the United States and Brazil. It highlights the challenges faced by these physicians, who often lack formal pedagogical training and dedicated time for teaching. The text emphasizes the need for structured support, faculty development programs, and collaboration with academic centers to ensure the quality of education in these settings.
