Grupo Documento has constructed a legacy in archaeology and cultural heritage over 27 years through applied science and collaborative projects. It has expanded to include heritage management and the natural cultural environment approach. Current projects focus on stakeholder collaboration, local empowerment, planning for sustainable development, and measuring social and environmental impacts at local to international scales. Partnerships with Brazilian institutions like Instituto Rio Itariri, Instituto Olho D'Água, and the "Da Aldeia de Carapicuíba à Cultura de Rua" project apply these principles to promote cultural preservation, social cohesion, and sustainable communities.

Guiding the Emergence of Humanity's FutureJoe Brewer
This document is a synthesis of inquiry that incorporates ideas and inspiration from many people. It grew out of conversations with Federico Bellone, Eduard Müller, Juan Sostheim, Melina Angel, Pramod Parajuli, Luis Camargo, Daniel Wahl, Stuart Cowan, and several others. What I learned from this diverse dialogue—accompanied by extensive reading—is that pedagogy is the most important thing to get right for any educational initiative that seeks to cultivate bioregional regeneration.
Pedagogy refers to the many ways of learning and how people evolve in their thoughts, feelings, actions, and social arrangements. It is a multifaceted concept that draws attention to capacities for cooperation, ability to trust others, perspective-taking, and a lot more that must be carefully addressed (and elegantly integrated) in the design of education programs. Pedagogy is often framed as a way to teach a particular concept or subject. I prefer to turn this around and employ it as a design perspective for how to assist the learning process, even if no teacher happens to be involved.
Shared here are some of the key pedagogical insights and thematic elements that have arisen so far in this inquiry. This learning journey is far from complete and will continue well after these words are written to the page. It is my earnest belief that Bioregional Regenerative Training Centers must emerge all over the world as integrative programs that help spread the practices and mindsets for regeneration of human communities and the ecosystems on which they depend for their survival.

Communities respond to sustainable development in diverse ways. Using local wisdom and resources and accessing global networks, community members work together to sustain their economic and social wellbeing, and regenerate their natural ecosystems. The Sustainable Dynamics Model captures the processes with which interdependent actors and stakeholders leverage each other’s forces and capabilities to achieve their visions of a sustainable community. This exploratory study that aims to introduce and define the Sustainable Dynamics Model emanated from an observational case study of a sustainable community-based ecotourism project through the Asian Productivity Organization Workshop on Agrotourism Development and Marketing in Bali, Indonesia. Later on, it evolved into interdisciplinary action research seeking to integrate sustainability solutions initiated by various stakeholders to the local community’s vision of a global banjar (community). Focus group discussion and workshops, interviews and case studies propelled the gathering of information on the processes of implementing these solutions from local and international stakeholders. The main lesson that emerged from these local initiatives is that achieving social, economic and ecological balance within the community depends on the dynamics of the actors and stakeholders participating in the collaboration. Developing a sustainable community requires human-level (self) transformation: personal wellness and creative autonomy leading towards the creation of opportunities for social, economic, and environmental transformation.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

10. Conceitos
Utilizados
Natural Cultural Environment: It represents
the combination of the natural physical
environment and man made landscape
through time. Culture and Environment are
thus inseparable and are responsible for the
social-natural processes formed by the
totality of physical and cultural phenomena of
a landscape.
Collaboration: Development of
practices in identification,
protection, recovery and support
of Heritage shared Scientific and
Communities in a coordinated
way. It demands the
comprehension of Cultural
Heritage as dynamic and
integrated to society as
fundamental for the
maintenance of social cohesion
and culture preservation.
Consilience: The capacity of performing
transversally thru disciplines and
communities developing what is know as “Life
Science”. Natural Cultural Environmental
development then searches for the essence
and common ground between disciplines in a
holistic manner.
11. Resiliência: Resiliência originalmente se
refere à propriedade que tem alguns
materiais de acumular
energia quando exigidos ou submetidos à
pressão, sem que ocorra ruptura. Resiliência
para a física é, portanto, a capacidade de um
material voltar ao seu estado normal depois
de ter sofrido tensão. Este termo também
tem aplicação em economia e ecologia,
onde se refere à capacidade de recuperação
de um ambiente frente a um impacto como,
por exemplo, uma queimada. Assim, o
conceito de resiliência exibe grande
correlação com a capacidade de um sistema
permanecer enquanto tal, ou seja,
sobreviver. Sua importância deriva do
esforço da ciência em compreender a
grande estabilidade e longevidade de alguns
sistemas, enquanto outros caminham muito
mais rapidamente para o colapso ou
ruptura.
Sustentabilidade: a viabilidade de
serem mantidas relações
socialmente definidas entre a
natureza e a comunidade durante
longos períodos de tempo.
Paisagem Cultural: Lugar onde diferentes
sociedades humanas interagiram através
de seu conhecimento, ou ainda, de sua
“sabedoria ambiental” . É, assim,
formada por diferentes assinaturas
antrópicas deixadas pelas comunidades
ao longo do tempo e resultando em um
conjunto/design único, indissociável e
em perpétua evolução que necessita de
uma abordagem integrada e
transdisciplinar
12. Inter and Trans-disciplinarity: Are well
recognized practices in education and
correspond to contemporary knowledge
(MORIN). Both traditional educational
systems and large scale communication
networks follow this tendency with
positive results.
Cultural Heritage Management. Consists in the liaison between
scientific research findings and application of concepts with current
local Public Policy. Scientists´ social role, then, make them develop
projects that involve the interpretation of culture as a dynamic and
continuous process and not the history of the “other”.

15. NATURAL CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT PROJECTS
• Scientific praxis and communities knowledge conciliation as support of
social-environmental challenges
• To make Cultural Heritage recognition and identification more democratic
by the observation of the diversity of vision and interpretation
possibilities.
• Develop heritage identification, protection, recovery and stimulation
practices, shared by academia and communities in a coordinated and
solidary way.
• Acknowledge Cultural Heritage as dynamic and integrated to society as a
fundamental element for the maintenance of culture preservation and
social cohesion.
• Adopt the principle: Only local community involvement in Cultural
Heritage projects allows Project sustainability and maintenance
17. Instituto Rio Itariri´s goal is to become a center of reference (hub) for a
diversity of social, cultural, economic and environmental Initiatives in the Vale do Ribeira
region (São Paulo state, Brazil). Access to knowledge and Experience Sharing are its' main
priorities.
Main objective: Provide Access to knowledge and Experience Sharing
The Institute proposes the construction of a Culture Circuit within it´s physical space where
the main region´s initiatives are going to be mapped. The Cultural Circuits going to be
developed by a Cultural Lab where local communities demands are going to be aligned with
the Institute´s principles and propositions. The complementation of Cultural Circuits and
Cultural Labs is ideal for the realization of the Institute´s main objective.
18. Instituto Olho D´Água is a NGO situated in Coronel José Dias Village (Piauí, Brazil),in
the outskirts of the “Serra da Capivara National Park”.
Main Objective: Valorization of memory, tradition and local identity through the use
of the Natural Cultural Environment concept for the promotion of social sustainable
development.
This object is going to be accomplished by the production of research and
development of projects based in the association of territory and memory integrating
material and immaterial heritage.
The Institute proposes the local culture valorization also by fostering initiatives that
strengthen communities cultural manifestations, traditional knowledge, territorial
organization and socio-political networks.
19. Da Aldeia Carapicuíba à Cultura de Rua is a Project developed for local
communities in the Carapicuíba city region (São Paulo, Brazil), comprehending the neighbor cities of:
Barueri, Cotia, Embu, Osasco, Santana de Parnaíba, São Paulo (Jaraguá and Perus) and Taboão da
Serra.
Main Objective: Identify, Dimension, and Valorize regional Cultural Heritage through the rescue and
link with local history
For that, it is expected that a collaborative research is going to be made, joining Cultural Heritage
scientists and local community individuals. The research's results are going to bring an integrated
perspective in the history that transformed an indigenous settlement in urban neighborhood and it´s
resulting cultural metamorphosis.
The concept of Natural Cultural Environment will also guide de actions in this projects as a reference
for collaborative knowledge construction and social sustainability, which means the communities´
capacity of maintaining the Project in a independent and collaborative way.
