Abstract: Introduction: There is a historical fragility regarding the training of health care professionals working with the Indigenous Health System in Brazil and the awakening of the growing sensitivity for the promotion of intercultural dialogue is recognized as essential in this context. Thus, the project “Talking Circles about the Indigenous People’s Health” in the university emerged in 2016, developed in a partnership between medical school professors and indigenous students from the Indigenous Tutorial Education Program - PET Indígena - Health Actions, UFSCar. Method: This report is based on the qualitative documental analyses, aiming to present and discuss the experiences, perspectives and dialogues carried out during those meetings, the construction of diversity, the description of the activities performed and the exposure of their potentialities and limits. Results: Based on both Paulo Freire’s Culture Circles and active teaching-learning methodology tools, those meetings dealt with topics related to Indigenous People’s Health, the results of which were here grouped into three categories: Identity; Care; and Indigenous Rights. The Talking Circles format fostered the construction of new knowledge in indigenous health’s field related to different cultures, specific health policies, concepts of health-disease process, providing an initial approach on the indigenous health context in Brazil. Additionally, they provided a space with indigenous leadership that dared to indicate innovative perspectives on identity issues and health understandings, disease and healing processes, as well as raising the epistemology inherent to these populations. Conclusions: Based on the dialogue between different actors, it was possible to arouse interest of the health professionals regarding ethnic and cultural issues and give visibility to the indigenous people at the University. Moreover, it can be a first step towards the construction of optional interdisciplinary disciplines and the insertion of the topic in undergraduate school curricula in the health area.

ResumoEste artigo tem como foco central abordar a elaboração de um material didático dinâmico que auxilie no processo de ensino e aprendizagem sobre a temática geológica: terremoto. O experimento foi produzido pelos alunos de Geografia, na matéria de geologia, na FACIP, Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Para isso, foi discutida a importância do material didático para a construção do conhecimento e como se dá o processo de formação do mesmo, além das etapas de elaboração do material e um breve aclaramento sobre a dinâmica tratada. Portanto, conclui-se que o material didático é um recurso essencial para as aulas de geografia física, principalmente na temática sobre terremotos, visto que é um processo dinâmico e abstrato. Representar aos alunos como ocorre o terremoto através do material didático dinâmico gera resultados satisfatórios quanto ao processo de construção do conhecimento. Palavras-chave:Ensino-aprendizagem; Material didático dinâmico; Terremoto. AbstractThis article focuses mainly on approaching the elaboration of a dynamic didactic material that helps in the process of teaching and learning about earthquakes. The experiment was produced by the students of Geography, in the subject of Geology, at the FACIP, Federal University of Uberlândia. In order to do this, we discussed about the importance of the didactic material for the construction of knowledge and how the formation process takes place, beside the stages of material elaboration and a brief clarification on the treated dynamics. Therefore, it is concluded that the didactic material is an essential resource for the classes of physical geography, mainly in the subject about earthquakes, since it is a dynamic and abstract process. Representing to the students how the earthquake occurs through the dynamic didactic material generates as satisfactory results as the process of building knowledge.

Esta pesquisa visa efetuar uma análise dos recorrentes alagamentos ocorridos na Bacia Hidrográfica do Córrego São José, localizado no municipio de Ituiutaba/MGe como a urbanização auxiliou nesse processo. Para efetuar tal objetivo, os procedimentos metodológicos foram trabalhos de campo, elaboração de cartas temáticas no QGIS e estudos bibliográficos. É notóreo através dos resultados já obtidos que a expansão territorial urbana que ocupou parte da bacia está auxiliando no processo de alagamento, principalmente decorrentes da forma como o relevo veem sendo ocupado e isso interfere na vida das pessoas que ali vivem. É, também, perceptível que a impermeabilização do solo provocada pelo asfalto e a forte inclinação da vertente fazem com que o fundo de vale, onde está presente o córrego, alague em períodos de chuvas intensas. Conclui-se, então, que a expansão da malha urbana, a ocupação das área de topo das colinas, assim como das vertentes e fundos de vale , a deficiência da drenagem urbana e as intervenções realizadas no canal fluvial estão contribuindo para o aumento do escoamento superfical o que acaba intensificando os alagamentos momentaneos na parte urbanizada da bacia Hidrográfica do Córrego São José.Palavras chave:bacia hidrográfica; alagamento; expansão territorial urbana IntroduçãoUm dos grandes problemas enfrentados na área urbana decorrentes da ação do ser humano atualmente são os alagamentos, não só associados a intensa ocupação dos fundos de vale, mas também em áreas planas de topo dos relevos e nas vertentes que sofreram intervenção em sua morfologia.Assim, a expansão territorial urbana, por meio da implantação de loteamento, veem cada vez mais ocupando as áreas de topos, vertentes e fundos de vales das bacias hidrográficas, além de interferir nos equilíbrio dinâmico dos processos geomorfológicos.Quando um loteamento é implantado várias interferências acabam ocorrendo, como por exemplo, a retirada considerável de parte da vegetação (que a protegia da ação erosiva das águas pluviais) deixando o solo exposto no primeiro momento, execução de obras de terraplanagem para abrir ruas, o nivelamento
