Authors: Pinto Sandro Ferreira , Vas Braz Batista , Tonucci Filho João Bosco Moura
Published: December 2024

As ocupações urbanas para fins de moradia surgem como reações ao modelo de segregação socioespacial imposto pelo mercado imobiliário e pelas regras urbanísticas estatais. Nosso campo de estudo situa-se em duas dessas ocupações, Jardim Deus é Fiel e Alto Bonito, ambas em Araguaína, Tocantins. Sob a metodologia de pesquisa-ação, investigamos a autogestão e a autonomia das comunidades enquanto experiência do comum, alternativa ao Estado e ao mercado. Animados pela obra de Dardot e Laval e Hardt e Negri, pensamos o comum entre o político e o biopolítico. Finalizamos discutindo as ocupações como territórios e buscando relações teóricas entre o comum urbano e territorialidade.
MODELAGEM DA EXPANSÃO DA MANCHA URBANA DO MUNICÍPIO DE EUNÁPOLIS/BA ATRAVÉS DAS IMAGENS DO SATÉLITE LANDSAT
Authors: Pinheiro João Gabriel de Moraes
Published: December 2024

No Brasil a expansão urbana estava associada ao crescimento dos grandes centros urbanos que por sua vez era o produto dos fenômenos do êxodo rural e industrialização. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar a modelagem do crescimento da mancha urbana do município de Eunápolis através das imagens de satélite empregando as técnicas de sensoriamento remoto. Através da análise temporal (1990 – 2020) constatou-se que a área urbana de eunápolis expandiu 938,48 hectares, sendo o crescimento urbano do tipo radial, estando o crescimento populacional diretamente proporcional ao crescimento urbano. Visando confrontar a expansão urbana com a disponibilização dos serviços de saneamento básico, evidenciou-se que estes não estão em consonância com o crescimento urbano, estando algumas desprovidas de saneamento básico, principalmente no que concerne ao atendimento urbano de água e esgoto. Dessa forma, pode-se concluir através da análise urbana que as ferramentas de geoprocessamento e sensoriamento remoto são eficazes na criação de modelos que subsidiam o planejamento e ordenamento urbano.

Systematic Review Of Risk Management Strategies In Rebar Procurement And Supply Chain Within The Construction Industry
Authors:   Master of Engineering Management, College of Engineering, Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas, USA, Islam Muhammad Mohiul
Published: December 2024

The construction industry, with its complex supply chains and critical reliance on rebar for reinforced concrete structures, faces significant challenges in managing the diverse risks associated with rebar procurement. This systematic review, drawing from 52 articles published between 2010 and 2024, identifies key risk areas impacting rebar procurement, encompassing financial, operational, and environmental dimensions. Financial risks, including price volatility and currency fluctuations, are exacerbated by global economic conditions and evolving trade policies. Although less addressed in the literature, environmental risks highlight the increasing need for sustainable procurement practices, considering the carbon footprint and resource intensity tied to rebar production and transport. Despite these advancements, a notable gap exists regarding the integration of environmental considerations within existing procurement risk frameworks, with limited research on green procurement practices for rebar. As environmental sustainability becomes increasingly prioritized, incorporating eco-friendly supplier selection and reducing emissions in logistics are expected to redefine risk management in the industry. This review not only underscores the multi-layered risks in rebar procurement but also identifies future avenues for innovation, particularly in sustainability-focused strategies, digital transformation, and predictive analytics, which can bolster resilience in the rebar supply chain and drive forward the construction industry’s risk management practices.

Authors: Khalid Laila , Malik Saima , Malik Misbaha
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: Children with hearing impairment are finding no place in mainstream schools in Pakistan. One of the major reasons identified is the fixed assessment procedure to assess their learning in the schools. The lack of alternative assessment methods and adaptations in examination by the teachers is preventing their inclusion, resulting in their repetitive failures and high drop-out rates. The study was designed to identify the causes of failure of learners with hearing impairment in the examination in mainstream schools. The study also tried to find out the challenges faced by the students with hearing impairment in the assessment tests in the mainstream schools from parents’ perspectives.
Methodology: The study was qualitative in nature. Parents of children with hearing impairment (n=7) were purposively selected from the inclusive primary schools of the province Punjab. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for data collection. Thematic analysis was employed for data analysis.
Findings: Findings revealed that the absence of assistive technology and ICT; insufficient adaptations in the assessment test formats; and ignoring of the communication preferences of the students due to untrained teaching staff have caused stress among hearing-impaired learners. All these factors result in repeated failures, high dropout rates and exclusion of children with hearing impairment in general education settings.
Conclusion: It has been recommended that assistive technology, in particular, the use of ICT may be made mandatory for these visual learners in the schools. In-service teachers should be sufficiently trained to make adaptations in assessment procedures and how to use alternative assessment practices in accordance with the convenient communication styles of hearing-impaired learners for positive academic outcomes.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é possibilitar uma intervenção didático-pedagógica com a leitura como produção de sentido ao que se lê na formação continuada de um grupo de professores(as) língua portuguesa do ensino médio. A problemática motivadora desta pesquisa se configura na seguinte pergunta: como proporcionar uma intervenção didático-pedagógica com a leitura como produção de sentido ao que se lê com um grupo de professoras de língua portuguesa do ensino médio? Com relação aos pressupostos teóricos, este estudo fundamenta-se na concepção interacionista da leitura (Koch; Elias, 2018), nos estudos de Menegassi (1995) com relação as etapas do processo de leitura e Solé (1998) quanto as estratégias de trabalho com a leitura. Os aspectos metodológicos configuram-se por ser uma pesquisa-ação (Tripp, 2005) de cunho qualitativo (Gil, 2022, 2008). O instrumento de coleta de dados ocorreu por meio do grupo focal (Gatti, 2005). Os(as) participantes da pesquisa são 03 (três) professoras de língua portuguesa do ensino médio. O lócus da pesquisa ocorreu em uma escola estadual da rede pública de ensino do município de Moreno, Pernambuco. A inserção social desta pesquisa configura-se no oferecimento de 15 (quinze) oficinas pedagógicas para possibilitar alternativas didático-pedagógicas para o trabalho das professoras com a leitura como prática discursiva na escola. O produto final culminou na elaboração de 03 (três) diários de bordos que servem como um registo didático-pedagógico de todo o conteúdo ministrado nas oficinas pedagógicas para as participantes desta pesquisa. Além disso, contou com mais 02 (dois) produtos sociais, 01 material didático para o(a) professor(a) e 01 material didática para o aluno(a). Com este estudo, então, esperamos oportunizar ao(à) professor(a), o aperfeiçoamento da sua prática docente com o ensino da leitura com as turmas das quais lecionam a língua portuguesa no ensino médio
Bertha Lutz e a Construção de Condições para a Autonomia da Mulher Brasileira
Authors: Quadros Raquel dos Santos
Published: December 2024

Esta tese tem como objetivo analisar as intervenções nas áreas social, política e educacional que Bertha Maria Júlia Lutz (1894-1976) promoveu na sociedade brasileira, no período de 1919 a 1937, com vistas ao reconhecimento da mulher como cidadã. As fontes que deram suporte para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram cartas, discursos, jornais, resoluções, projetos e textos produzidos pela autora. Em consequência da análise destes documentos, a problematização do trabalho se apresenta com a seguinte proposição: Quais as ações em que a educadora Bertha Lutz esteve envolvida com a intenção de possibilitar condições para a autonomia da mulher brasileira? As atividades profissionais, como bióloga e museóloga, política e educadora, demonstraram a importância de se considerar Bertha Lutz uma das expoentes da história da educação no Brasil, no decorrer do século XX. Como delimitação espacial, foi eleita a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, capital do Brasil, no período estudado. Tomou-se como ponto inicial da investigação o ano de 1919, época em que ela começou a trabalhar no Museu Nacional até o período de 1937, momento que deixou de ser deputada pela instalação do Estado Novo. A proposta de pesquisa refere-se à história da educação no Brasil no século XX, por meio do estudo de intelectuais ligados à educação. O tema da pesquisa tem envolvimento com o Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em História da Educação, Intelectuais e Instituições Escolares (GEPHEIINSE), que se define pela investigação acerca da educação e história da educação, entendida em sua articulação com a sociedade em seus aspectos econômicos, sociais e políticos. Destaca-se que o grupo de pesquisa está ligado ao Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas História, Sociedade e Educação no Brasil (HISTEDBR). Verifica-se que as leis, as resoluções, a organização de instituições em diferentes níveis não foram fatos lineares e espontâneos nem consensuais, mas foram travadas lutas, debates ideológicos sobre temas relacionados à educação até que se chegasse a uma suposta resolução. As análises permitiram justificar a tese defendida, que se apresenta na seguinte asserção: para Bertha Lutz, a condição de autonomia para a mulher brasileira como cidadã se daria por três eixos como a área do trabalho, da política e da educação. Em consequência dessa perspectiva, no âmbito social, Bertha Lutz apresentou subsídios voltados à inserção da mulher no trabalho, projetando uma instituição voltada ao público feminino com a centralidade no trabalho. No âmbito político, atuou com ênfase na defesa dos direitos femininos, no período em que esteve exercendo o cargo de deputada e à frente da Federação Brasileira pelo Progresso Feminino, movimento que procurou informar a mulher sobre questões ligadas à história da mulher e seu espaço na sociedade. Na área da educação, defendeu um programa que visava a uma prática educativa por meio dos museus. A importância histórica de Bertha Lutz reside nas ações desempenhadas na sociedade brasileira.
