RELAÇÃO ENTRE A INTELIGÊNCIA EMOCIONAL E O RENDIMENTO ESCOLAR EM CRIANÇAS DO 1.º CICLO DO ENSINO BÁSICO DA RAM

The growing interest in emotional intelligence has motivated, since the ‘ 90, the development of numerous studies on the topic. One of the approaches of these studies has been the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement, without much agreement on the results (Angelo, 2007; Newsome et al., 2000; O’Connor & Little, 2003; Parker et al.,2004; Parker et al., 2006; Silva & Duarte, 2012) and was developed further this research. The survey was developed with a set de129 individuals of both sexes of RAM (Autonomy Region of Madeira) in order to respond to the questions: is there any relationship between IE, the IE perceived and school performance? Does gender, age, social participation, socio-economic status of parents and school retention influence the IE and the school performance? The instruments used were: A demographic and educational survey where they gathered, in addition to the socio-demographic data, academic performance data as: retention, the notes of the Portuguese language, Mathematics, the Study of the Middle note of calibration tests: Portuguese language and Mathematics; and the Emotional Intelligence survey of Bar-On (Candeias & Rebocho, 2007, Candeias et al., 2008). The results reveal that only some aspects of IE relate to some of the variables of school performance, in particular the classifications to Portuguese and Mathematics.

‘Don't speak like that to her!’: Linguistic minority children's socialization into an ideology of monolingualism

It is of general interest to the study of language in society how ideologies motivating linguistic hegemony get formulated in the context of increasing diversity. This includes if and how linguistic diversity surfaces under conditions that are clearly disfavouring it, and why or why not it happens. Also, we need to know how ideologies of language surface at the micro-level, and how they are continuously passed on, shared, negotiated or contested. These are central issues in this study of socialization into a condition and an ideology of linguistic hegemony in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is illustrated how school-authorities, parents and children co-create Danish dominance and a linguistic ideology of monolingualism during the first school year. The primary focus is on two school-beginners with minority language background in a linguistically diverse classroom, and the linguistic registers of particular interest are Danish, the majority language, and Turkish, an immigrant language. The article builds on field-notes, ethnographic interviews, video- and audio-recordings. Linguistic Ethnography and Language Socialization constitute the methodological frameworks, and Silverstein’s ‘total linguistic fact’ forms an analytic principle. Europa karakteriseres af stigende befolkningsmaessig diversitet. Ikke mindst skolerne er dog stadig domineret af ideologier, der motiverer etsproget sproglig hegemoni. Det er af stor betydning for studiet af sprog i samfundet, hvordan sproglig mangfoldighed kommer til udtryk under betingelser, der defavoriserer den, samt hvorfor eller hvorfor ikke det sker.
The variation in academics’ experiences of teaching in an intense study centre compared with their traditional university settings

This article explores how teachers’ experiences of teaching accelerated courses in a residential setting compared with their experiences of teaching in their traditional contexts. It looks at how teachers responded to the opportunities the accelerated format provided and how this caused them to revisit not only what they taught, but how they taught. Teaching in an intense residential setting also allowed teachers to be more aware of their students as learners and caused them to revisit the purpose of higher education. Suggestions are made for how accelerated courses could be seen as part of an academic year as they offer advantages to both teacher and student.
Scalable performance evaluation of a hybrid optical switch

This paper provides new loss models for a hybrid optical switch (HOS) combining optical circuit switching (OCS) and optical burst switching (OBS). Exact blocking probabilities are computed when 1) no priority is given to either circuits or bursts and 2) circuits are given preemptive priority over bursts. Because it is difficult to exactly compute in realistic scenarios, computationally scalable approximations are derived for the blocking probability. The sensitivity of the analytical results to burst length and circuit holding-time distributions is quantified by simulation. It is demonstrated how the proposed approximations can be used for multiplexing-gain evaluation of a hybrid switch. In addition, the extension of the proposed single-node model to a network model composed of OCS, OBS, and hybrid switches is outlined.
U.S. Military Women and Divorce: Separating the Issues

The divorce rate for women serving in the U.S. military is significantly higher compared to their male counterparts and the civilian population as a whole. Divorce negatively affects women, their work, and their families. Like many who struggle with balancing multiple roles in life, military women may possess unique characteristics, which coupled with challenges in the military environment, lead to a high divorce rate. This article examines current literature on potential contributory factors in female service members' high marital dissolution rate. Recommendations are made for research to help understand and reverse this growing trend through prevention, intervention, and support efforts.
Does workload cause work‐home interference or is it the other way around?

The present study was designed to investigate the causal relationships between work-home interference (WHI) and one of its strongest correlates, quantitative workload. Two-phase longitudinal data (with a 1-year time lag) were gathered from 828 Dutch police officers. Drawing on the effort-recovery model, and in line with the current WHI literature, we hypothesized that relatively high workload precedes increased levels of WHI 1 year later (‘normal’ causation). In addition, we tested the alternative hypothesis that relatively high levels of WHI predict increased workload 1 year later (‘reversed’ causation). Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that workload and WHI have causal and reversed causal relationships across time, supporting both hypotheses (although effect sizes are limited). Accordingly, these findings suggest that workload is not merely an antecedent of WHI but is also a potential consequence. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Statistical Theory of Learning Curves under Entropic Loss Criterion

The present paper elucidates a universal property of learning curves, which shows how the generalization error, training error, and the complexity of the underlying stochastic machine are related and how the behavior of a stochastic machine is improved as the number of training examples increases. The error is measured by the entropic loss. It is proved that the generalization error converges to H0, the entropy of the conditional distribution of the true machine, as H0 + m/(2t), while the training error converges as H0 - m/(2t), where t is the number of examples and m shows the complexity of the network. When the model is faithful, implying that the true machine is in the model, m is reduced to m, the number of modifiable parameters. This is a universal law because it holds for any regular machine irrespective of its structure under the maximum likelihood estimator. Similar relations are obtained for the Bayes and Gibbs learning algorithms. These learning curves show the relation among the accuracy of learning, the complexity of a model, and the number of training examples.
Auditory training during development mitigates a hearing loss-induced perceptual deficit

Sensory experience during early development can shape the central nervous system and this is thought to influence adult perceptual skills. In the auditory system, early induction of conductive hearing loss (CHL) leads to deficits in central auditory coding properties in adult animals, and this is accompanied by diminished perceptual thresholds. In contrast, a brief regimen of auditory training during development can enhance the perceptual skills of animals when tested in adulthood. Here, we asked whether a brief period of training during development could compensate for the perceptual deficits displayed by adult animals reared with CHL. Juvenile gerbils with CHL, and age-matched controls, were trained on a frequency modulation (FM) detection task for 4 or 10 days. The performance of each group was subsequently assessed in adulthood, and compared to adults with normal hearing (NH) or adults raised with CHL that did not receive juvenile training. We show that as juveniles, both CHL and NH animals display similar FM detection thresholds that are not immediately impacted by the perceptual training. However, as adults, detection thresholds and psychometric function slopes of these animals were significantly improved. Importantly, CHL adults with juvenile training displayed thresholds that approached NH adults. Additionally, we found that hearing impaired animals trained for 10 days displayed adult thresholds closer to untrained adults than those trained for 4 days. Thus, a relatively brief period of auditory training may compensate for the deleterious impact of hearing deprivation on auditory perception on the trained task.
Thrombin receptor expression in rheumatoid and osteoarthritic synovial tissue.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility that synovial cells might respond to thrombin in the inflamed human joint, using immunohistochemical detection of thrombin receptors. METHODS: Frozen sections of synovial membrane from 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 16 with osteoarthritis, and four normal controls were stained using a monoclonal antibody to the human thrombin receptor. Sections were also double stained for both receptors and non-specific esterase. RESULTS: Receptor positive cells were present in rheumatoid synovia, with some cells also staining positively for non-specific esterase. In contrast, both osteoarthritic and normal synovia contained very few cells expressing receptors. CONCLUSIONS: Thrombin may mediate important pathological changes during chronic inflammatory joint disease.
“STRESSPAC”: THREE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP OF A CONTROLLED TRIAL OF A SELF-HELP PACKAGE FOR THE ANXIETY DISORDERS

In order to test the efficacy of a self-help anxiety management package, 62 anxiety disorder patients were randomly allocated to one of three conditions. “Stress-pac” patients were given a self-help package, “Advice Only” patients were offered verbal advice on ways of coping. Patients in both conditions were seen on one occasion shortly after referral for assessment and management advice. They were then placed back on the waiting list for a three-month period. Patients in the “No Intervention” condition also completed measures during this time. They were formally assessed at the end of this period. All patients were then followed through therapy. Results from a previous paper clearly indicated the superiority of the Stresspac condition at all data points up to one year follow-up. This paper looks at three-year follow-up and, while finding generally good outcome across conditions, finds further evidence of the superiority of the Stresspac condition on a range of measures.
Approximate Joins for Data-Centric XML

In data integration applications, a join matches elements that are common to two data sources. Often, however, elements are represented slightly different in each source, so an approximate join must be used. For XML data, most approximate join strategies are based on some ordered tree matching technique. But in data-centric XML the order is irrelevant: two elements should match even if their subelement order varies. In this paper we give a solution for the approximate join of unordered trees. Our solution is based on windowed pq-grams. We develop an efficient technique to systematically generate windowed pq-grams in a three-step process: sorting the unordered tree, extending the sorted tree with dummy nodes, and computing the windowed pq-grams on the extended tree. The windowed pq-gram distance between two sorted trees approximates the tree edit distance between the respective unordered trees. The approximate join algorithm based on windowed pq-grams is implemented as an equality join on strings which avoids the costly computation of the distance between every pair of input trees. Our experiments with synthetic and real world data confirm the analytic results and suggest that our technique is both useful and scalable.
Psychoanalytically Based Treatment for Traumatized Children and Families

A psychoanalytic orientation provides an important perspective for developing community-based prevention and intervention programs for traumatized children and their families. In New Orleans, the Violence Intervention Program for Children and Families is designed to reduce the risk of exposure to violence, mental health problems following exposure, interference with normal developmental progression, academic performance, family functioning, onset of behavioral and conduct disturbances, later psychopathology, and subsequent violence. The program includes an unusual focus on work with police officers as first responders to increase their sensitivity and responsiveness to traumatized children. A psychoanalytic perspective helps a therapist or interventionist understand a person's strengths and weaknesses, frustrations, and conflicts as well as those within a chaotic environment and social situation. The psychoanalytic approach allows for more effective therapeutic approaches as well as more flexible problem-solving strategies.
Öğretmenlik Uygulamasının Yansıtıcıları: Günlükler

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the practicum course according to their diaries that student teachers have written. The sample included 19 teacher training students majoring in Elementary Education in the Faculty of Education at Cumhuriyet University. The data were collected from diaries of teacher training students who kept diaries on a regular base which involved their personal thoughts and interpretations of their practice. Content analysis method was employed in the interpretation of a total of 115 diaries. It was found that students encountered problems in planning, in facilitating the instruction process, and in classroom management. In addition, they experienced contradictions between what they learned at the university and what they practiced in the schools. Furthermore, they attributed some shortcomings to school staff, school administration and practicum teachers particularly in structuring lessons they were assigned whilst they accepted that they still derived lessons from these kinds of problems for their future applications. They concluded that what they mostly applied in terms of the teaching methods were those of narration, question-response, and classroom discussions. They employed the materials which facilitated the learning process of students, poorly and they found contributions by the school administration and practicum teachers as not supportive enough.
Challenging Orthodoxy in School Leadership Studies: Knowers, knowing and knowledge?

The field of leadership in general and school leadership in particular is a place where knowers engage in knowing and produce knowledge. This article challenges the who, what and why regarding the accepted knowers, knowing and knowledge, and opens up possibilities for alternative approaches that are currently being worked for. This is done with the presentation of six inter-connected typologies of knowledge production: Provinces, Practices, Processes, Producers, Positions and Perspectives. It is argued that these six 'Ps' enable those within and outside of the field to generate descriptions and understandings of the interplay between researching, theorising and practising in educational settings. This has the potential to democratise knowledge production not only through being inclusive in who does the knowledge work, but also by working to recognise the structures that enhance or inhibit the agency of the knowledge worker. We are deeply embedded within these political processes and as such we are involved in a dynamic field where through praxis we can secure what we do and can produce alternatives to what we do. It is concluded that our agency to make choices within our practice as researchers, theorists and practitioners, is exercised within a complex setting of organisational, cultural and social structures.
tructural elucidation of three antioxidative polysaccharides from richoloma lobayense

Tricholoma lobayense is a nutritious mushroom with great health benefits. Three polysaccharides with purity higher than 99% were successfully extracted from Tricholoma lobayense. The molecular weights of TLH-1, TLH-2 and TLH-3 were determined to be 8.43 × 105, 5.36 × 105 and 4.53 × 103 Da, respectively. The backbones of TLH-1 and TLH-2 were mainly composed of 1,4-linked -d-glucopyranosyl. However, polysaccharide TLH-3 was found to be a highly branched glucogalactan, which is made up of 1,3-linked -d-glucopyranosyl branched at C-6 and 1,3-linked ˇ-d-galactopyranosyl. In vitro antioxidant activ-
Social Mobilization and Political Development

Social mobilization is a name given to an overall process of change, which happens to substantial parts of the population in countries which are moving from traditional to modern ways of life. It denotes a concept which brackets together a number of more specific processes of change, such as changes of residence, of occupation, of social setting, of face-to-face associates, of institutions, roles, and ways of acting, of experiences and expectations, and finally of personal memories, habits and needs, including the need for new patterns of group affiliation and new images of personal identity. Singly, and even more in their cumulative impact, these changes tend to influence and sometimes to transform political behavior. The concept of social mobilization is not merely a short way of referring to the collection of changes just listed, including any extensions of this list. It implies that these processes tend to go together in certain historical situations and stages of economic development; that these situations are identifiable and recurrent, in their essentials, from one country to another; and that they are relevant for politics. Each of these points will be taken up in the course of this paper. Social mobilization, let us repeat, is something that happens to large numbers of people in areas which undergo modernization, i.e., where advanced, non-traditional practices in culture, technology and economic life are introduced and accepted on a considerable scale. It is not identical, therefore, with this process of modernization as a whole, but it deals with one of its major aspects, or better, with a recurrent cluster among its consequences.
Being Black and in Trouble: The Role of Self-perception in the Offending Behaviour of Black Youth

Young black people in British society are often linked with images of criminality and delinquency. This study aimed to investigate self-perception in young black male offenders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants and included questions relating to family background and perceptions of society and themselves. A group discussion was also undertaken to elaborate further on topics raised in the interviews. A `grounded theory' approach was used to analyse the data and ten key themes emerged, which included: the importance of black history; ability to define their ethnic background; normal levels of self-esteem; negative representations of black people and lack of a role model. The methodological limitations in this study are discussed. Notwithstanding these, however, the findings suggest that racial identity is an important part of self-perception for black young offenders and it is recommended that this needs to be taken into consideration when working with young black people in the criminal justice system.
Psychological Predictors of Television Viewing Motivation

Our objective was to explore the psychological origins of media gratifications by examining how pertinent psychological variables, based on McGuire's paradigm, help explain television viewing motivation. Hierarchical multiple regression of responses from a quota sample of 331 persons showed that psychological antecedents and control variables helped predict viewing motivation. Parasocial interaction, anxiety, creativity, and sensation seeking's disinhibition dimension were the most substantial predictors, along with television affinity and exposure. We discussed the implications of these findings.
On the prevalence of radio‐loud active galactic nuclei in brightest cluster galaxies: implications for AGN heating of cooling flows

The prevalence of radio-loud AGN activity in present-day massive halos is determined using a sample of 625 nearby groups and clusters selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Brightest group and cluster galaxies (BCGs) are more likely to host a radio– loud AGN than other galaxies of the same stellar mass (by below a factor of two at a stellar mass of » 5 × 10 11 M¯, but rising to over an order of magnitude below 10 11 M¯). The distribution of radio luminosities for BCGs does not depend on mass, however, and is similar to that of field galaxies of the same stellar mass. Neither the radio–loud fraction nor the radio luminosity distribution of BCGs depends strongly on the velocity dispersion of the host cluster. The radio-AGN fraction is also studied as a function of distance from the cluster centre. Only within 0.2 r200 do cluster galaxies exhibit an enhanced likelihood of radio–loud AGN activity, which approaches that of the BCGs. In contrast to the radio properties, the fraction of galaxies with optical emission–line AGN activity is suppressed within r200 in groups and clusters, decreasing monotonically towards the cluster centre. It is argued that the radio–loud AGN properties of both BCGs and non-BCGs can naturally be explained if this activity is fuelled by cooling from hot gas surrounding the galaxy. Using observational estimates of the mechanical output of the radio jets, the time–averaged energy output associated with recurrent radio source activity is estimated for all group/cluster galaxies. Within the cooling radius of the cluster, the radio–mode heating associated with the BCG dominates over that of all other galaxies combined. The scaling between total radio–AGN energy output and cluster velocity dispersion is observed to be considerably shallower than the » ¾ 4 v scaling of the radiative cooling rate. Thus, unless either the mechanical–to–radio luminosity ratio or the efficiency of converting AGN mechanical energy into heating increases by 2–3 orders of magnitude between groups and rich clusters, radio–mode heating will not balance radiative cooling in systems of all masses. In groups, radio–AGN heating probably overcompensates the radiative cooling losses, and this may account for the observed entropy floor in these systems. In the most massive clusters, an additional heating process (most likely thermal conduction) may be required to supplement the AGN heating.
