Mente Turbinada is a Brazilian cognitive training platform launched in late 2015 that combines neuroscience and technology, and is also available as an app. The goal is to offer exercises through games that stimulate skills such as memory, attention, reasoning, perception and language. The project was conceived by the geriatrician at Hospital das Clínicas and professor of General Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo ( USP), Brazil, Dr. Paulo Camiz , in partnership with a multidisciplinary team, composed of doctors, neuroscientists, psychologists, programmers and designers. The motivation arose from clinical observation of patients who reported difficulties in memorizing everyday situations. Dr. Camiz thought about creating a brain training program to generate a connection between fun and development. According to Dr. Camiz , “Every time a user plays, they are evaluated. Based on their performance, we know which functions they need to work on better.” In addition, Mente Turbinada also offers a monitoring report that presents the Brain Development Index , with the evolution of each player. According to Dr. Camiz, the brain is a muscle that can and should be worked like we do with other parts of our body. The idea that the brain is a muscle was a metaphor used by Dr. Camiz to facilitate the understanding that, just like muscles, the brain can be trained and improved with exercises . According to studies carried out by the team, games can be auxiliary tools in the treatment of degenerative diseases¹ , such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's. In addition to the games, the Mente Turbinada website has a Blog , which offers articles and information about discoveries in neuroscience. The free version of Mente Turbinada offers three basic games with limited training programming. For the full version (Premium) there are monthly and annual subscription options.   After providing some data for registration, the user will decide which areas of cognitive development he/she wants to improve. Then, exercises are proposed with a frequency also chosen by the user. The tool allows the user's progress to be monitored, as well as identifying other areas that need activities. Since its launch, Mente Turbinada has been used by a variety of audiences seeking to improve or maintain their cognitive functions, including students, professionals and the elderly. By Luiz Cincurá. Notice: ¹ A degenerative disease is a disease that consists of altering the functioning of a cell , tissue or organ, excluding in this case alterations due to inflammation, infections and tumors. Degenerative diseases are so called because they cause the degeneration of the entire organism, involving blood vessels, tissues, bones, vision, internal organs and the brain. Typically, degenerative diseases are acquired through dietary errors (or excessive use of animal fats), a sedentary lifestyle or a genetic error. Degenerative diseases include diabetes , arteriosclerosis , hypertension , heart and spinal diseases , as well as cancer , Alzheimer's disease , rheumatism , multiple sclerosis , deforming arthritis , osteoarthritis , glaucoma , spine, head and limbs. This is a behavior induced by habits resulting from the comforts of modern life . Sources: IDG Now! App created by Brazilians promises to exercise memory and concentration. 2015.

Astronomy is often described as the oldest science, given the fascination that the universe has always exerted on people of all ages and cultures. Astronomy rrently uses sophisticated technology and is considered one of the most modern and dynamic sciences. One of the organizations that greatly contributes to the advancement of Astronomy is   ESO , European Southern Observatory, a prominent intergovernmental science and technology organization in astronomy. A helps scientists from all over the world discover the secrets of the Universe, which consequently benefits the entire society . Founded in 1962, headquartered in Garching, Germany ESO develops an ambitious program focused on  design , construction and operation of powerful observatories and promotes and organizes cooperations in astronomical research. On its website, ESO informs that it has more than 750 employees from around 30 countries and countless collaborators from all over the world. There are more than 22,000 users from around 130 different countries, who have access to services, technology and data.   ESO operates three observatories in the Atacama Desert in Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor. LA SILLA OBSERVATORY O  La Silla ,_first ESO observatory to come into operation in the late 1960s, it is located on the La Silla mountain, at an altitude of 2350 m, 600 km north of Santiago de Chile. It is equipped with several optical telescopes. The mirrors have a diameter of up to 3.6 meters. ESO's main optical instruments in La Silla are a 3.6 m reflector, opened in 1976; the 3.5 m New Technology Telescope (NTT), opened in 1989; a 2.2 m reflector jointly owned by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, opened in 1984. 2009 and is now operated by Yale University.  Instruments at La Silla owned by individual nations include a 1.54 m Danish reflector opened in 1979 and the 1.2 m Leonhard Euler telescope owned by the Geneva Observatory, opened in 2000 .

THE ESO CERRO PARANAL HOTEL Under the summit, at a At a height of around 2,400 meters, you will find the Hotel ESO no Cerro Paranal. It has housed the Paranal Observatory in Chile since 2002. It is mainly used for scientists and ESO engineers who work there in a scale system, which houses them in stays. The ESO Hotel at Cerro Paranal  has been called a "guesthouse on Mars", because the desert surroundings are similar to Mars and an "Oasis for astronomers" . It is not a commercial hotel, and the public cannot reserve rooms. For the relatively short time of your stays under weather conditions extremes – intense sun, extreme dryness, high wind speeds, large temperature fluctuations and the danger of earthquakes – the hotel was built in  place far from the civilization where they can relax and rest between strenuous work phases. The exterior of the hotel was featured in the 2008 film 007, Quantum of Solace , in which the structure was portrayed as a fictional eco-hotel in Bolivia. A miniature of the hotel was built by the visual effects team for the scenes in which the hotel, in the film, is destroyed by fire.

CHAJNANTOR OBSERVATORY The Chajnantor Observatory is operated by Caltech - California Institute of Technology in collaboration with the University of Chile and the University of Concepción and is located at an altitude of 5080 meters (16700 feet) in the Andes Mountains in northern Chile. The high, dry Chajnantor plateau is one of the best places in the world for millimeter and submillimeter astronomy. The first observatory instrument, the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) is housed in a retractable dome that provides some protection from rain, snow and wind. On most days, the wind in Chajnantor peaks in the late afternoon at around 15 m/s (30 mph). Under these conditions, cold is a serious problem, but the dome provides a sheltered workspace where it is possible to  repair and maintain the CBI. The dome is a hemispherical steel structure covered with polyester fabric, housed in a wall 2 m high and 10.5 m in diameter. The CBI and its dome require concrete support plates, but this is the only construction work on the site. All other installations are in ISO standard shipping containers placed directly on the ground. This modest approach to site infrastructure reduces costs, reduces maintenance burden and has a very low impact on the environment. Observatory facilities include a control room, laboratory, mechanical workshop, power plant, two workrooms/bedrooms and a bathroom – all inside the shipping containers. To counteract the effects of high altitude, the air in working and living areas is enriched with oxygen (using molecular sieves to separate oxygen from air), and people who work outside can use portable oxygen tanks with demand regulators when needed to improve efficiency and safety. The power plant and fuel tanks are located about 100 m east of the CBI; Average power consumption for the site is around 100 kW and the plant has a pair of diesel generators rated for 150 kW at 5000 m. The base facilities are located at Residencia Don Esteban, in the historic oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama, at an altitude of 2500 m. These include bedrooms, kitchen, conference room and computer room. The observatory is partially supported by SAINT , Strategic Alliance for the Implementation of New Technologies, a consortium formed by twelve institutions: the California Institute of Technology This consortium was formed for studies and research into fundamental problems in physics which can be resolved by observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation and research into a variety of new astrophysical planes. Below see the trailer for ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. A state-of-the-art telescope that studies light with wavelengths of around one millimeter, emitted by some of the coldest objects in the Universe, ALMA is a cooperation of the European Observatory do Sul (ESO), together with its international partners. The ALMA site is the Chajnantor plateau, 5000 m above sea level, in northern Chile, one of the driest places on Earth. Credit: ESO ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO), C. Malin ( christophmalin.com ), P.

ESO undoubtedly has a sophisticated technological structure and, with its 61 years of existence, a natural curiosity would be to know some of its main scientific results, which will be seen below. TEN SPACE DISCOVERIES FROM THE ESO OBSERVATORY, BY ELIZABETH HOWELL , SPACE.COM 1.OBSERVING THE COSMOS Since the first telescope began operating in 1966, ESO has brought about many changes in the way we perceive the Universe. Astronomers observed the acceleration of the Universe as it expanded and learned more about what the young Universe looked like. ESO telescopes have also taken photographs of distant planets and helped measure the weight of gigantic stars. 2. FIRST ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS OF PLUTO AND CHARON (1986) By observing the light curve of Pluto and its moon Charon during eclipses with ESO La Silla telescopes, astronomers were able to reduce the size of both objects. Pluto, then considered a planet, has a diameter of approximately 1367 miles (2200 kilometers). Its largest moon, Charon, has been measured at about 721 miles (1160 kilometers). 3.PIONEERING IN ADAPTIVE OPTICS (1989) ESO was one of the first observatories to test "adaptive optics", a technique used to make corrections for turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. A telescopic mirror, connected to a computer, automatically adjusts as the atmosphere flexes. This allows light to reach the telescope with greater precision – meaning we can see further into space. Adaptive optics is a standard technique used today. 4.EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE ACCELERATING (1998) By studying the brightness of stellar explosions, researchers have discovered that the universe is not just expanding, but accelerating as it grows. Telescopes at ESO and other observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope, have determined this through measurements of Type Ia supernovae. The main discoverers were awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. 5.CONFIRMING THE UNIVERSE'S HOT PAST (2000) Researchers were able to obtain the temperature of the Big Bang echo – cosmic microwave background radiation – from when the universe was just 2.5 billion years old. An ESO telescope has taken spectrum measurements of a quasar, which is a bright, distant galaxy powered by a huge black hole. The quasar's glow showed that the universe was hotter than it is now. 6.THE BLUEEST YEARS IN THE UNIVERSE (2003) From observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers discovered the color of the young universe, 2.5 billion years old, was much bluer than it is today because it was full of young, blue stars. Because blue stars emit more light than ancient stars — and the universe has as much light now as in the past — the findings suggest that there were fewer stars in the early years of the universe. 7. CONNECTING GAMMA RAYS WITH SUPERNOVAS (2003) After a gamma-ray burst shone in the constellation Leo on March 29, 2003, Australian and Japanese telescopes detected a bright light source in the same location within 90 minutes. ESO telescopes then captured the first spectrum of the object. They discovered that this large supernova or "hypernova" was 2.65 billion light years away, and were able to link it to the gamma-ray burst. 8.THE GREATEST STAR OF ALL TIME (2010) The biggest star ever, R136a1 is 165,000 light-years away from Earth and more than twice the size scientists thought stars could get. This magnificent discovery was made possible using ESO's Very Large Telescope and confirmed with archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope. 9. FIRST DIRECT SPECTRUM OF AN EXOPLANET (2010) Scientists used ESO's Very Large Telescope to detect the chemical composition of a planet about 130 light-years from Earth. This planet is about 10 times the size of Jupiter, with a surface temperature of 1472 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius). This was the first time the spectrum was observed from direct observations of a planet. 10.EARTH-SIZED PLANET FOUND IN NEXT STAR SYSTEM (2012) A planet with approximately the same mass as Earth has been discovered near Alpha Centauri B, which is part of a three-star system just 4.3 light-years from Earth. An ESO telescope at La Silla detected the planet by measuring the star's wobbles. The planet is causing Alpha Centauri B to move back and forth at 1.1 miles (1.8 kilometers) per hour, the same speed as a crawling baby . THE INNOVATIVE ELT The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT)   from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a revolutionary ground-based telescope that will have a 39-meter main mirror and will be the world's largest telescope for visible and infrared light: the world's largest eye on the sky. Construction of this technically complex project, which began 9 years ago, is progressing at a good pace, with the ELT now surpassing the 50% completion mark. The telescope is located at the top of Cerro Armazones, in the desert of Atacama, Chile, where engineers and construction workers are currently assembling the telescope's dome structure at an impressive pace. Visibly changing every day, the steel structure will soon acquire the familiar round shape typical of telescope domes. As per the words of ESO Director General, Xavier Barcons, "The ELT is the largest of the next generation of optical and near-infrared telescopes based on land and what is most advanced in its construction. Reaching 50% completion is no small feat given the challenges inherent in large, complex projects, and it was only possible thanks to the commitment of everyone at ESO, the continued support of ESO Member States, and the involvement of our partners in industry and instrument consortia. I am extremely proud that ELT has reached this milestone." ESO ELT Video Credit: ESO .

PISA, the International Program for Student Assessment, is a three-yearly, systematic, prospective and comparative assessment of international level, focused on the areas of Mathematics, Science and Language, for students between 15 years and three months of age and up to 16 years and two months of age. deity. Each cycle emphasizes one of the three areas mentioned, with the highlighted area of each cycle absorbing around 60% of the test questions and the other areas, 20% for each of them.   The area with the greatest weight in the PISA 2022 assessments was mathematics. PISA 2022 established an innovation in assessment, the creative thinking test. It focuses on the skills that 21st century students need as organizations and societies around the world rely on innovation and knowledge creation to meet emerging challenges. The PISA creative thinking test examined students' abilities to generate diverse and original ideas and to evaluate and improve ideas, in various contexts or "domains". The assessment included four domains: written expression, visual expression, social problem solving and scientific problem solving. In each of these domains, students engaged with open-ended tasks that did not have a single correct answer. They were asked to provide multiple and distinct responses, or to generate a response that was unconventional. These responses could take the form of a solution to a problem, a creative text, or a visual artifact. Stimulating creative thinking strengthens the ability to adapt in an increasingly complex and dynamic reality in which knowledge and the capacity for innovation can be decisive in finding solutions for a world in constant and rapid change. The assessment is promoted by the OECD - Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It is an intergovernmental entity that aims to promote the economic and social development of its members, the industrialized countries. It should be noted, however, that participation in PISA is not restricted to OECD members, as it also includes guest countries. ​According to the Report “ PISA 2022 Results - The State of Learning and Equity in Education ", released in December/2023 by the OECD, the first report volume of a total of five report volumes presented , 690,000 students were assessed, representing 29 million students worldwide, from 81 countries and economies, in 2022. PISA is the first large-scale study to collect data on the performance, well-being and equity of students. students before and after the shutdowns and adversities caused by the  COVID-19 pandemic. According to the report, PISA 2022 is much more than educational excellence. It is also about equity in education, so that all students, regardless of background, can have a fair opportunity to reach their full potential. ​PISA is a powerful comparative source of international level in the educational area, which can greatly contribute to strengthening inclusive public educational policies for countries committed to developing good quality education, a fundamental step towards social transformation that allow for greater prosperity, labor and economic inclusion, as better-established basic education training is an important step towards generating future professionals who are better prepared to serve society in various areas of knowledge. The report concluded that, despite challenging circumstances, 31 countries and economies have managed to at least maintain their performance in mathematics since PISA 2018. Among these, Australia, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Switzerland have maintained or further increased their already high levels of achievement. performance of its students, with scores ranging from 487 to 575 points (OECD average 472). These countries presented converging aspects, such as a shorter school closure period, fewer obstacles to remote learning and continued support for students, from teachers and parents. Many countries have also made significant progress towards universal secondary education, which is critical to enabling equality of opportunity and full participation in the economy. Among them, Cambodia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Morocco, Paraguay and Romania have rapidly expanded education to previously marginalized populations over the past decade. Ten countries and economies recorded a large percentage of 15-year-olds with confirmed basic proficiency in math, reading and science with education that was highly equitable and provided high levels of socioeconomic justice: Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Macau and the United Kingdom. The OECD report also points out that, across OECD countries, around three-quarters of students reported being confident in using various technologies, including learning management systems, school learning platforms and video communication programs. However, technology used for leisure rather than instruction, such as mobile phone technology, often appears to be associated with the worst outcomes. Students who reported that they are distracted by other students using digital devices in at least some math classes scored 15 points less than students who reported that this never or almost never happens. Support from teachers is particularly important in times of instability, namely through the provision of additional services, pedagogical and motivational support to students, according to PISA 2022. ​The systematic work of PISA, throughout its three-year applications, reinforces the resilience of educational systems in order to act from the perspective of growth in equal opportunities, which will certainly provide greater training and empowerment of young people to the success. Countries that are engaged and have the political will to reserve the space and importance it deserves for education are certainly aware and certain that this is the path to generation and longevity from an economic and social development perspective.
