The column "The world seen from above", by Tatiana Nascimento, discusses the impact of drones on how we perceive landscape. The text highlights that these flying devices allow not only photographing scenes from an elevated perspective, but also creating viewing angles impossible for human beings who remain on the ground. The author considers that this ability to invent new viewpoints makes evident how much technology expands our visual understanding of the world. It is a brief opinion piece that introduces the theme of aerial photography by drones as a tool for transforming human perception.

'Sedentary face': why the expression became a trend on social media?

The trend reflects a change in consumer behavior, who now seek a more natural and expressive appearance. This phenomenon boosted the popularity of practices such as facial yoga, gua sha, and the use of rollers and massagers, widely shared in self-care videos, which promise a more relaxed and less swollen face, although their effects are generally temporary and need to be evaluated with caution.
