O ATO EDUCATIVO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL SOB A ÓTICA DA PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA
Authors: Trindade Larissa Aparecida , Guimarães Célia Maria
Published: February 2020

This article is the result of a doctoral dissertation called “The play of social roles as a guiding element of the continuing education of a preschool teacher”, in which the main objective was to realize and reflect on the process of continuing education of the preschool teacher by through theoretical and practical interventions for the construction of a humanizing educational practice based on Historical-Cultural Psychology, on Historical-Critical Pedagogy and on the use of toys and the play of social roles in the school situation. For this discussion we bring a brief presentation of the Historical-Critical Pedagogy, involving the social scope and the objectives of its construction, as well as its foundations and characteristics particularly related to early childhood education. We also highlight the role of the teacher, continuing teacher education and the organization of educational practice in the guise of historical-dialectical materialism. For this, we used the historical-dialectical materialist method and the methodological instruments: questionnaire, interview and observation and analysis of municipal documents for the development of the research which revealed that the teacher's educational proposals oscillated during the formative process, because now they followed the Marxist assumptions, sometimes reproduced educational practices of elementary school. We conclude that teachers lack a vision of early childhood education as a space that promotes the omnilateral development of children and an understanding of children as social subjects under construction, fruits of their human relationships, with different times to learn and different levels of development, especially, teaching that social role play is the guiding activity for the humanization process of preschool children.
METODOLOGIAS ATIVAS NO ENSINO DE FÍSICA: UM PANORAMA DA PESQUISA STRICTO SENSU BRASILEIRA
Authors: Rosa José Eugênio Brum da , Kalhil Josefina Barrera
Published: February 2020

This paper presents an exploratory study whose main objective was to draw an overview of the strict sense research carried out in Brazil, addressing the use of active methodologies in the teaching of physics, from 2009 to 2019. To achieve this objective weanalyzed theses and dissertations available in the collection of the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações-BDTD. The choice for this platform is justified by its breadth. By defining the descriptors "active methodologies" AND "Physics", related by the Boolean operator "AND" and adopting as exclusion criteria the non-belonging to the area of Physics, we identified twenty-six works. After analyzing the selected material, it was possible to detect a sharp growth in the number of these researches in recent years, most of them composed by dissertations from professional master’s programs. Almost all the work was carried out in public institutions and addressed the use of active methodologies at all levels of education, most of them directed to high school. We also found that there is a predominance of the use of Peer Instruction methodology. Another fact that deserves attention is the concentration of research in the Southeast and South regions from Brazil.
Metaphor as a dynamic complex emergence an analysis of the discourse of violence victims
Authors: Pelosi Ana Cristina , Lima João Paulo Rodrigues , Silva Pedro Henrique Sousa da
Published: February 2020

Metaphor is here approached as a complex emergence which results from many internal and external factors such as those of a bio-psychological nature among others. Based on an embodied view which assumes that cognition results from "structural couplings that bring forth a world" (VARELA; THOMPSON; ROSCH,1993); it is assumed that socio-culturally shared beliefs, values and attitudes, individuals' life history, their affective and psychological states, besides embodied factors interact dynamically to cause metaphor emergencies to occur. Such metaphors might incorporate verbal language, gestures, body language etc. Having this view of metaphor as a basis, data gathered from three focal groups composed by volunteer violence victims are analysed. Findings from participants’ talks about ways they cope with the threat posed by urban violence, point to the emergence of several systematic metaphors. VIOLENCE IN FOOTBALL IS A REPELLING FORCE and UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT SOCIAL GROUPS IS SEEING THEM are the two systematic metaphors analysed here.
A revisited systematic literature mapping on the support of requirement patterns for the software development life cycle
Authors: Kudo Taciana Novo , Bulcão Neto Renato De Freitas , Vincenzi Auri Marcelo Rizzo , Macedo Alessandra Alaniz
Published: February 2020

In the past few years, the literature has shown that the practice of reuse through requirement patterns is an effective alternative to address specification quality issues, with the additional benefit of time savings. Due to the interactions between requirements engineering and other phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC), these benefits may extend to the entire development process. This paper describes a revisited systematic literature mapping (SLM) that identifies and analyzes research that demonstrates those benefits from the use of requirement patterns for software design, construction, testing, and maintenance. In this extended version, the SLM protocol includes automatic search over two additional sources of information and the application of the snowballing technique, resulting in ten primary studies for analysis and synthesis. In spite of this new version of the SLM protocol, results still point out a small number of studies on requirement patterns at the SDLC (excluding requirements engineering). Results indicate that there is yet an open field for research that demonstrates, through empirical evaluation and usage in practice, the pertinence of requirement patterns at software design, construction, testing, and maintenance.
The European Union and Education for Democratic Citizenship
Authors: Grimonprez Kris
Published: February 2020

The study makes an analysis of the legal framework which Member States must take into account when designing their policies on citizenship education. The Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education of the Council of Europe and the international right to education are read in conjunction with EU law. Suitable content for the EU dimension in mainstream education is explored. A method for objective, critical and pluralistic EU learning is proposed, based on the Treaties and on case teaching (stories for critical thinking). Member States are invited to take more action to ensure quality education. The EU has the legal competence to support the EU dimension in education. In the present state of EU law, quality education is no longer conceivable without an EU dimension incorporated in various key competences.

At present the author works at the implementation of the ideas developed in the book as an Affiliated Senior Researcher at Leuven University (Case4EU-project in Belgium and other EU Member States).
Lessons Learnt from Some Natural Energy Sources
Authors: Serbanescu Dan
Published: February 2020

The chapter presents in a systematic manner the lessons learnt from the natural energy systems (NES) and their specific features. The conclusions are based on the evaluation of the risk impact on environment and for the improvement of the risk evaluation methodologies of such systems. A specific feature of the NES is the interdependence between them and society/mankind and the environment. Risk analyses for such systems have specific features underlined while compared with the features of the artificial (man-made) energy systems (MMES). Previous works illustrated in detail the NES versus MMES differences. This chapter presents the main aspects of such a review, when applied to a specific NES, the natural nuclear fission reactor in Oklo, Gabon (NES_Oklo). NES_Oklo operated about two billion years ago for about two hundreds millions of years. The lessons drawn from studying how this reactor was built, operated and self-decommissioned are of high importance for nuclear energy and not only. There are conclusions drawn from the study of Oklo reactor, which seem to shake some taboo issues in Physics, like for instance the light speed limit and other fundamental aspects of Quantum Mechanics, which have also important philosophical implications.
The Effects of Snake Venom (Bitis arietans) on Embryonic Development
Authors: Peters Charlotte , Petrilla Vladimir , Luptakova Lenka , Petrovova Eva
Published: February 2020

Venomous snake bites in pregnant women can lead to poor survival rates in both the foetus and mother; early bites can precipitate teratogenesis, miscarriages, preterm delivery, foetal death and antepartum haemorrhage. The chicken embryo poses as a valuable research model for venom research due to its advantages such as ease of availability, economic feasibility and its non-invasiveness. This study evaluates the embryotoxic effects of Puff adder venom (Bitis arietans) from Namibia, Kenya, South Africa and non-specified region of Africa at varying concentrations. The venoms were applied to chicken embryos on the fourth day of incubation and assessed on a ninth day, focusing on body weight, heart weight, liver weight and mortality rate. Nile blue staining was also performed to observe the occurrence of apoptosis amongst the venoms at the strongest concentrations. The information provided from our results suggested that there was a regional variation in venom toxicity, with the Kenyan venom producing the largest weight changes, whereas the non-specified African venom proved the most lethal across the concentrations. Further studies to assess venom protein concentrations in comparison with regional diet disparities are required.
A Suggested Technique for Cooperative Learning Implication in EFL Classroom: Mixed Methods Research
Authors: Ali Bin-Hady Wagdi Rashad
Published: February 2020

This paper aims to suggest a strategy for employing cooperative learning in situations
where traditional methods are of great domination. It also explores tertiary students'
attitudes toward cooperative learning. Furthermore, it checks the relationship between the total group achievement and its individual members'. Students' creativity is also another concern of this study. The sample of this study is third-year students at college of education Al-Mahra, Hadhramout University for the academic year 2017-2018. The study uses a mixed-methods research design (qualitative and quantitative) by observing the students' performances on the use of the teaching method principles applied by them and their creativity in selecting the materials for applying the chosen teaching method. Questionnaire is also used at the end of the semester to find out students' attitudes about using cooperative learning. The study found that cooperative learning plays good roles in reflecting what the students have studied to their mates. Moreover, the study revealed that there is strong relationship between group degree of success and its members' achievement in the final term scores in the course. Depending on the findings, the researcher concludes that whenever students are given the chance to select their learning habits, creativity appears
La situación laboral de los jóvenes
Authors: Recio Andreu Albert
Published: February 2020

En este artículo se revisan las condiciones laborales de los jóvenes. Se muestra

que los cambios ocurridos en el mercado laboral han generado una prolongación en el tiempo

del proceso de inserción laboral. Cambios que no sólo tienen que ver con el mercado laboral,

sino también con las políticas públicas y la vida familiar. Se constata asimismo que las

condiciones laborales tienden a la inseguridad económica y generan dificultades para alcanzar

el grado de autonomía personal que asignamos a la idea de emancipación. También se

muestra la enorme segmentación del mercado laboral juvenil, lo que genera comportamientos y

trayectorias diferentes para jóvenes de diferente sexo, origen social, nivel educativo y

nacionalidad. Segmentación que obliga a una elaboración más compleja de los análisis y las

políticas laborales

The object of this paper is to analyze labour conditions of young people. Changes in labour markets generate the time enlargement of the process of integration to labour market. The situation is influenced by labour market transformations but also by other institutions (public policies, family). Globally, the paper quotes the growth of economic insecurity of young jobs. The final part is devoted to analyze the segmentation of young labour markets and the divergent labour path of young people related with gender, social origin, education and nationality. Segmentation forces to realise a more complex production of both theoretical analysis and labour policies.

En aquest article es revisen les condicions laborals dels joves. Es mostra que els canvis succeïts en el mercat laboral han generat un perllongament en el temps del procés d’inserció laboral. Canvis que no només estan relacionats amb el mercat laboral, també amb les polítiques públiques i la vida familiar. Es constata així que les condicions laborals tendeixen a la inseguretat econòmica i generen dificultats per aconseguir el grau d’autonomia personal que assignem a la idea d’emancipació. També es mostra l’enorme segmentació del mercat laboral juvenil, el qual genera comportaments i trajectòries diferents per a joves de diferent sexe, origen social, nivell educatiu i nacionalitat. Segmentació que obliga a una elaboració més complexa dels anàlisi i les polítiques laborals.
La segregación residencial, un indicador espacial confuso en la representación de la problemática residencial de los inmigrantes económicos: el caso de la Comunidad de Madrid

Published: February 2020

A través del contexto madrileño el siguiente artículo analiza la problemática residencial de los

inmigrantes económicos en base a los procesos de exclusión residencial y segregación

espacial con el fin de demostrar hasta que punto ambos llegan a coincidir.

Para ello se aplican indicadores residenciales claves e índices de segregación, obtenidos a

partir de fuentes de análisis secundarias (Encuesta de Estructuras Salariales, Censo de

Población y Viviendas, Padrón de Habitantes) y cuyos resultados conducen a afirmar que

existe un intenso proceso de exclusión residencial que no se ve secundado por un proceso de

segregación espacial. Por tanto la segregación se presenta como un indicador espacial poco

fiable y confuso en la representación de la problemática residencial de la población estudiada.

A través del context madrileny, el següent article analitza la problemàtica residencial dels immigrants econòmics en base als processos d’exclusió residencial i segregació espacial amb la finalitat de demostrar fina a quin punt ambdós arriben a coincidir.

Ethnic segregation and the housing market in two cities in northern and southern Europe: the cases of Amsterdam and Barcelona
Authors: Musterd Sako , Fullaondo Elorduy-Zapaterieche Arkaitz
Published: February 2020

Uneven urban geographies of different immigrant or ethnic groups have received ample

attention across the world; however in Southern Europe the picture is as yet unclear. Most

Southern European countries recently experienced a new phase in their modern history

because they became net immigrant receivers after having been net ‘deliverers’ of migrants for

many decades. This opens the question what direction this migration will take and what the

implications for the segregation in cities will be. One of the crucial questions in that respect is

what the implications will be for the functioning of the housing market. Will some parallels

develop with what occurred in Northern Europe? Or will there be a development with an own

character. In this article we aim to contribute to answering these questions through a

comparison of the segregation and housing relation in the cities of Amsterdam and Barcelona.

L’estudi de les diferents geografies urbanes de la immigració ha estat àmpliament estudiat al llarg del planeta. En canvi, en el cas del sud d’Europa, la realitat és encara difosa. Molts d’aquests països es troben en una fase en la seva història moderna, fa temps que van deixar de ser països d’emigració i des de fa pocs anys s’han convertit en països d’immigració neta. Aquesta nova realitat reobre diferents qüestions i problemàtiques sobre la implicació de la segregació a les ciutats, com per exemple: Quines seran les implicacions en el funcionament del mercat de l’habitatge? Existeixen paral·lelismes amb el desenvolupament experimentat en dècades anteriors per les ciutats del nord d’Europa? O per el contrari s’està produint un desenvolupament original de l’esmentada problemàtica? El propòsit d’aquest article és donar resposta a aquestes preguntes a través de la comparació de la relació existent entre la segregació i el mercat de l’habitatge a les ciutats d’Amsterdam i Barcelona

Los conflictos sobre el espacio público urbano forman parte de la idiosincrasia de la

convivencia en las ciudades. Así ha sido desde siempre, pero ahora seguramente estamos

asistiendo a un momento de cierta crisis, o percepción de crisis, respecto a la convivencia

en el espacio público urbano. Este malestar respecto al espacio público es evidente en el

contexto español, como atestigua la proliferación, en los últimos años, de ordenanzas

municipales sobre “civismo”, pero esta tendencia también se produce en el contexto

internacional, al menos en las democracias avanzadas occidentales (Fyfe et al 2006). En

este artículo se analiza los principales aspectos de este proceso.

How to Be a (Good) Philosopher-Activist
Authors: Oxley Julinna C. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2020

Can philosophers be good activists? This essay defines activism for the philosopher and then provides a normative conception of a good philosopher-activist that is grounded in rational integrity and sound rational deliberation. I argue that because philosophers have been trained in reasoning and argumentation, they can contribute these skills to an activist movement. An activist with rational integrity exhibits five skills or virtues: they are honest, rational, logical, deliberative, and respectful. Conversely, bad philosopher-activists display five vices: they are dishonest, manipulative, obfuscating, thoughtless, and insulting. Next, I argue that rhetorical and reasoning skills are only part of what define good activism, and describe the soft skills needed for effective activism. Philosophical training sometimes works against the development of these soft skills, but they are critical to the success of the philosopher-activist. I conclude by describing activism within the context of academic life and argue that philosophers who engage in activism can do so in an intellectually responsible way.
Engaged Philosophy: Showcasing Philosophers-Activists Working with the Media, Community Groups, Political Groups, Prisons, and Students
Authors: Hawthorne Susan C. C. , Ilea Ramona C. , Janzen Monica “Mo” ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2020

By drawing on a selection of interviews from the website Engaged Philosophy, this paper highlights the work of philosopher-activists within their classrooms and communities. These philosophers have stepped out of the ivory towers and work directly with media, community and political groups, people in prison; or they encourage their students to engage in activist projects. The variety of approaches presented here shows the many ways philosophically inspired activism can give voice to those who are marginalized, shine a light on injustices, expose the root of social problems, and empower others to seek solutions. This work shows the relevance of philosophy to practical problems and the powerful effects it can have in the world.
Transcendental Biology
Authors: Nocek A. J. ,   DePaul University
Published: February 2020

This essay shows how Conrad Hal Waddington is at the very center of divergent genealogies of theoretical biology: he is at once remembered for his contribution to epigenetics and complex systems biology (in its current formation) and largely forgotten for the debt that he owes to Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy of organism. The essay traces Waddington's debt to Whitehead and demonstrates the way in which this conceptual lineage challenges the transcendental conditions of biological knowledge presupposed by the reigning paradigm of complex systems biology.
The Current State of Communication of Urgent and Significant, Unexpected Diagnoses in Anatomic Pathology
Authors: Staats Paul N. , Parkash Vinita , Otis Christopher N. , Sharma Poonam , Ioffe Olga , Bracamonte Erika R.
Published: February 2020

Context.—

The concept of critical diagnoses in anatomic pathology is relatively recent and rigorous study of the issue is quite limited. The College of American Pathologists and Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology issued a consensus statement in 2012. There has been no multi-institutional study of communication policies since then.

Objective.—

To survey the policies of anatomic pathology laboratories regarding communication of critical values.

Design.—

A survey of the Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology membership was performed using a 14-question electronic survey tool.

Results.—

Responses were received from 38 institutions. Thirty-five of 38 (92%) had a policy on anatomic pathology critical values. Twenty-five of 38 (66%) respondents had read the College of American Pathologists/Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology consensus statement. Twelve of 38 (32%) institutions divided critical values into 2 categories, of which 9 used the College of American Pathologists/Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology terminology; 24 used only a single term, of which 11 used critical value. There was substantial variation in the diagnoses that were considered critical. A direct phone call to the responsible provider was uniformly considered an acceptable means of communication; all other methods had mixed or low support. The most common time frame was same day; many laboratories did not specify a timeframe. Most laboratories document date, time, and person to whom the result was communicated in the final report or an addendum report. Eighteen of 38 (47%) laboratories report an auditing mechanism for communication.

Conclusions.—

Policies for communication of critical/urgent/significant, unexpected results in anatomic pathology are the norm. However, there remains significant variation between institutions in the details of these policies.

Evaluating the Transition From Dexmedetomidine to Clonidine for the Prevention of Withdrawal in Critically Ill Pediatric Patients
Authors: Lee Michelle M. , Caylor Karen , Gockenbach Nicole
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVES

To evaluate clonidine for preventing withdrawal from dexmedetomidine infusions and describe the incidence of withdrawal symptoms and adverse cardiovascular effects in critically ill pediatric patients.

METHODS

Retrospective, descriptive study of patients in Advocate Children's Hospital-Park Ridge PICU who received dexmedetomidine infusion for ≥72 hours, followed by clonidine for ≥48 hours, between January 1, 2015, and August 31, 2017.

RESULTS

Thirty-eight patients (median age 4.3 years; IQR, 2–11.5) received 39 dexmedetomidine courses. The median duration of dexmedetomidine exposure was 7.6 days (IQR, 5–11.5) at an average dose of 1 mcg/kg/hr. The median dose of clonidine at initiation was 8.3 mcg/kg/day (for <50 kg) and 4.1 mcg/kg/day (for ≥50 kg). The most common oral administration frequency was every 8 hours. Dexmedetomidine infusions for 7 days or longer and a higher dexmedetomidine dose 24 hours prior to clonidine transition both correlated with increased initial clonidine doses. Fourteen patients (37%) had at least 1 WAT-1 score of ≥3 during the transition between dexmedetomidine and clonidine, with 7 (18%) requiring an increase in sedation. Adverse cardiovascular events were possibly attributable to dexmedetomidine and/or clonidine in 4 patients.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients receiving prolonged infusions of dexmedetomidine may transition to clonidine to help prevent withdrawal symptoms. Duration of dexmedetomidine infusion of 7 days or longer and higher average dexmedetomidine dose 24 hours prior to the transition are important considerations when determining the initial clonidine dose. Transition from dexmedetomidine to clonidine was found to be safe and efficacious in our patients, with minimal adverse effects.
Comparison of Neonatal Outcomes With the Use Cefotaxime Versus Ceftazidime in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Patel Payal D. , Bhagat Palak , Bartlett Allison H. , Bondi Deborah S.
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVES

There is a national drug shortage of cefotaxime, and ceftazidime is recommended as an alternative to cefotaxime for neonates. This study evaluated culture-positive late-onset sepsis (LOS), multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs), and other neonatal outcomes with the use of ceftazidime compared with cefotaxime in neonates.

METHODS

This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of neonatal subjects who received at least 24 hours of ceftazidime or cefotaxime between April 1, 2015, and August 1, 2017. Subjects were excluded if they received the alternate antibiotic for more than 24 hours.

RESULTS

A total of 101 subjects were included (ceftazidime, n = 58; cefotaxime, n = 43). Median gestational ages were significantly different between groups (28.1 [IQR, 25.0–36.6] weeks versus 32.3 [IQR, 26.9–37.4] in the ceftazidime and cefotaxime groups, respectively, p < 0.05). Results showed a non-statistically significant increased incidence of culture-positive LOS (17.2% versus 2.3%, respectively, adjusted OR 6.51 [95% CI, 0.78–55.23], p = 0.09) and MDRO infections (5.2% versus 0%, respectively, p = 0.26) with the use of ceftazidime compared with cefotaxime. There was a statistically significant increased risk of stage II to III necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) with the use of ceftazidime (22.4% versus 2.3%, respectively, adjusted OR 9.68 [95% CI, 1.18–79.45], p = 0.04).

CONCLUSIONS

This study found a statistically significant increase in stage II to III NEC with the use of ceftazidime compared with cefotaxime. There was a higher rate of culture-positive LOS and MDRO infections with ceftazidime, but this was not significant. Further research is warranted to assess the implications ceftazidime use in neonates.
The Use of N-acetylcysteine Supplementation to Decrease Irritability in Four Youths With Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Pesko Matthew J. , Burbige Eugene M. , Sannar Elise M. , Beresford Carol , Rogers Chris , Ariefdjohan Merlin , Stutzman Danielle
Published: February 2020

Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience high levels of irritability, which adversely affects their functioning and behaviors. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant precursor to glutathione, has recently been studied for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. There is growing evidence to support its use to decrease irritability and self-injurious behaviors in youth with ASD. However, previous studies were limited to outpatient youth with mild symptoms of irritability, maintained on stable medication regimens, who do not meet criteria for higher levels of care. We describe the use of NAC among 4 youths (14–17 years) with ASD who had Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Irritability (ABC-I) scores of ≥ 20 and other psychotropic medication trials prior to treatment with NAC. In all of the cases, NAC appeared to be well tolerated. There was a reduction of symptoms of irritability and/or antipsychotic medication dosages in these cases; despite this, the authors cannot know whether use of NAC or other medication or behavioral strategies were responsible for such changes because this study was not a controlled trial.

Published: February 2020

This article serves as a Position Statement of the Pediatric Pharmacy Association (PPA), which supports safe and effective medication use in schools. PPA recommends that schools develop comprehensive medication use policies to support safe and appropriate administration of both chronic and emergency medication in schools. These policies must address issues specific to pediatric patients, including off-label and over-the-counter medication use, various pediatric dosage forms, as well as appropriate medication storage, administration, and disposal practices. PPA also advocates for continued staff development and education regarding laws, regulations, and policies surrounding medication use in school to ensure safe and effective care of children and adolescents in the school setting.

Authors: Pellegrino Pollyanna , Moreno Claudia Roberta de Castro , Marqueze Elaine Cristina
Published: February 2020

Objective To estimate the prevalence and association of work organization associated with poor sleep quality among airline pilots.

Methods 1234 airline pilots filled out an online questionnaire. Independent variables included demographic data, work organization aspects, health, and sleep information. A question derived from the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire was used to obtain subjective sleep quality. Poisson regression with robust variance was performed.

Results The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 48.2%. Poor sleep quality was associated with high frequency of technical delays, ≥ 5 consecutive night shifts, moderate and great need for recovery after work, difficulty commuting to work, being insufficiently physically active and sleeping 6-8 hours and < 6 hours on days off.

Conclusion Pilots' daily work schedules, consisting of frequent delays, long working hours and perceived high work demands preventing adequate recovery were associated with poor sleep quality.

En un contexto de inestabilidad económica, de reconversión del mercado laboral y de continuas fluctuaciones en la entidad del empleo como factor determinante en el binomio inclusión-exclusión social, asistimos a una caracterización particular de las políticas sociales que pretenden adaptarse a la coyuntura actual de nuestra sociedad. La inserción por el empleo parece ser la piedra angular del modelo latente de Política Social en Europa, haciendo uso de la activación laboral y sus diversas estrategias y medidas como posible salvavidas ante las altas y estructurales tasas de vulnerabilidad, pobreza y exclusión social. En torno a este intento de “Estado de Bienestar Activo”, la presente investigación analiza, de la mano de Trabajadoras Sociales que desempeñan la profesión en los Centros de Acción Social, el papel y el alcance de la activación laboral en la que parece ser la política estrella de la Comunidad de Castilla y León frente a la pobreza y exclusión social: la Renta Garantizada de Ciudadanía.In a context of economic instability, the re-conversion of the labor market and continuous fluctuations in the employment entity as a determining factor in the social inclusionexclusion binomial, we attend a particular characterization of the social policies that seek to affect the current situation of our society. The insertion by employment seems to be the cornerstone of the latent model of Social Policy in Europe, making use of labor activation and its various strategies and measures as possible lifesavers in the face of the high rates and structures of mortality, poverty and social exclusion rates. Around this attempt of welfare state, the present investigation analyzes, the hand of Social Workers that makes the profession in the Centers of Social Action, the paper and the scope of the labor activation in wich it seems to be the policy Star of the Community of Castile and Leon in the face of poverty and social exclusion: the Guaranteed Income of Citizenship.

Numa espécie, a capacidade em retirar os nutrientes do solo e as quantidades requeridas variam não só com a cultivar, mas também com o grau de competição existente. Variações nos fatores ambientais como temperatura e umidade do solo podem afetar o conteúdo de nutrientes minerais nas folhas consideravelmente. Esses fatores influenciam tanto a disponibilidade dos nutrientes como a absorção destes pelas raízes e, conseqüentemente, o crescimento da parte aérea. Por outro lado, o acúmulo e a distribuição, dos nutrientes minerais na planta dependem de seu estádio de desenvolvimento. Avaliou-se a produção de massa seca, os teores de nitrogênio, fósforo, potássio, cálcio, magnésio e enxofre na parte aérea da cultura do melão em função de cada tratamento. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, com cinco repetições e três tratamentos, trat 1: NPK 50-25-25; trat. 2: NPK 10-28-20 e trat. 3: NPK 3-12-6. Foi utilizada a cultivar híbrida Sunrise, semeada em flooting e posteriormente transplantada para covas em leiras da casa de vegetação, onde já havia sido realizada previamente adubação e correção baseadas em análise do solo. A irrigação foi realizada por gotejamento, e aos 25 dias após o transplantio foi feito o tutoramento das plantas. A colheita foi realizada progressivamente, de acordo com a maturação dos frutos, o que aconteceu aproximadamente aos 60 dias após o transplantio. As médias observadas para produção de massa seca da parte aérea foram maiores nos tratamentos 2 (21,87 g planta-1). Para os teores foliares de N, P, K, Ca e Mg do meloeiro, não houve efeito significativo dos tratamentos. O tratamento 3 com NPK BIOATIVO (3-12-6) influenciou significativamente (P <0,05) os teores de S e Mn, revelando os maiores teores foliares, com 3,50 g Kg -1 e 255,65 mg Kg -1 respectivamente. Os tratamentos não influenciaram significativamente nos teores foliares de N, P, K, Ca e Mg  do meloeiro, apenas quanto ao teor de S.

Durante os últimos anos no Brasil se desenvolveram um conjunto de políticas, programas e projetos públicos direcionados para a inserção social, econômica e política de segmentos sociais mais fragilizados do campo. Muitas destas políticas abordaram e abordam a temática do desenvolvimento rural compreendendo componentes essenciais no processo: valorização e fortalecimento da agricultura familiar, diversificação econômica nos territórios, incentivo e incremento do empreendedorismo local. Neste sentido, o Governo do Estado do Ceará vem consolidando experiência na coordenação e execução de programas e projetos, dentre eles o Projeto de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável – PDRS conhecido como Projeto São José III. Enquanto política pública teve como objetivo realizar investimentos produtivos para organização de produtores da agricultura familiar com foco na geração de renda no campo e fortalecimento da gestão organizativa. O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar o desempenho da gestão das organizações de agricultores familiares por meio da mensuração do Índice de Gestão Social. A concepção de gestão social foi a da organização social e da ação coletivizada, isto é, a organização de diferentes atores que se encontram imbricados na gestão social. Os dados utilizados são de origem primária, obtidos por meio da aplicação de 52 questionários estruturados para organizações beneficiárias (Tratados) e não beneficiárias (Controle) situadas em 11 territórios rurais do Estado do Ceará. O mesmo questionário foi aplicado antes e depois da intervenção do Projeto, para ambos os grupos. Os testes aplicados revelaram que não existe diferença significativa entre as organizações beneficiadas e não beneficiadas pelo Projeto e que as organizações apresentam níveis relativamente baixos de gestão social apontando fragilidades. Não foi constatada mudança significativa nesse cenário durante o período 2014 a 2017.
Micro-introducción a Homero
Authors: Cantilena Mario
Published: February 2020

¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de Homero? Es difícil concebirlo como un hombre, como un individuo histórico, y los antiguos griegos conocían sobre él tan poco como nosotros. Incluso si examinamos sus poemas, no podemos captar ningún rasgo de la personalidad de un autor. Pero su lenguaje y su estilo nos dicen lo suficiente como para comprender que lo que hemos estado buscando en un solo poeta debe encontrarse en una tradición. La Ilíada y la Odisea deben entenderse como documentos de poesía oral tradicional y no de literatura: al menos en el sentido de que no estaban destinados a ser leídos. Aunque desde siglos se consideren los arquetipos de todas las literaturas occidentales, su lugar está entre la concurrida compañía de los cantores anónimos que nos legaron obras maestras como Beowulf, Mahabharata, Chanson de Roland.

What do we talk about when we talk about Homer? It is difficult to conceive him as a man, a historical individuum, and the ancient Greeks knew about him as little as we do. Even if we question his poems, we cannot grasp any trait of an author's personality. But his language and his style tell us enough to understand that what we were searching in a single poet must be found in a tradition. The Iliad and the Odyssey must be understood as documents of oral-traditional poetry and not of literature: at least in the sense that they were not meant to be read. Although they have been considered for centuries the archetypes of all western literatures, their place is among the crowded company of the anonymous singers who gave us masterpieces like Beowulf, Mahabharata, Chanson de Roland.
Nymphaeque sorores: Virgil’s Sororities of Nymphs
Authors: Fratantuono Lee
Published: February 2020

Nymphs appear frequently in the corpus of Virgilian poetry. Careful consideration of the place of nymphs in Virgil’s Eclogues and (in particular) his Georgics reveals how the poet utilizes these quasi-divine figures as important elements of his exposition of both the nature of Roman identity and the demands incurred in composing his Homeric-Callimachean epic.
Diálogo y altercatio en la literatura polémica antijudía
Authors: Pomer Monferrer Luis
Published: February 2020

El diálogo, mayoritariamente empleado en la tradición greco-latina por los filósofos, fue adaptado como una forma de debate religioso especialmente adecuada para la controversia. Inició la literatura polémica adversus Iudaeos en el s. II, y tuvo su momento álgido entre los siglos V y VII, tras más de doscientos años de paréntesis. La intertextualidad es una de las principales características de los diálogos y formas dialogadas de la polémica antijudía. Se hace un análisis específico de la terminología con que son designadas todas estas formas literarias tanto en griego como en latín. Se relaciona la interacción real de los diálogos antijudíos con la puesta en escena y la exposición del contexto espacio-temporal.

The dialogue, mostly used by philosophers in the Greco-Roman tradition, was adapted as a form of religious debate particulary suitable for the controversy. Polemic literature adversus Iudaeos began in the 2nd century, and had its climax between the 5th and 7th centuries, after more than 200 years of a pause. In this study, the caracteristics of the dialogues and the dialogical forms of the anti-Jewish polemic are analyzed: intertextuality is the most remarkable feature. An analysis of the terminology used in all literary forms both in Greek and Latin is also carried out. The underlying actual interaction of the anti-Jewish dialogues is related to the mise-en-scene and the presentation of the spacial and temporal context.

What skills and competencies are required of marketing graduates in the Spanish
business-to-business sector? A content analysis of listings on online job portals
Authors: Echegaray Lázaro , García Martín Jorge García Martín
Published: February 2020

Objective. The new scenarios arising from globalisation and the development of information and communication technologies have obliged marketing to adapt to a more complex, ever-changing and highly uncertain environment. That adaptation has, in turn, made it necessary to review the conditions of engagement of professionals in the sector. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the skills required in business-to-business (B2B) job vacancies for marketing graduates at national and international companies based in Spain, with international links and, therefore, forming part of the globalised market.

Methodology. Employing the desktop research technique, an analysis was performed on the listings posted on the leading job portals in Spain. Following this, a content analysis was conducted on the data collected from the listings, quantifying and classifying the job requirements appearing in them.

Results. The importance of social media in relation to technical skills, the relevance of a good proficiency in English as regards meta-skills, the requirement of digital marketing knowledge and expertise with respect to conceptual marketing knowledge, and a strong correlation between the experience and salary variables were observed.
Limitations. There is scant specific literature on marketing job requirements in the B2B sector.

Practical implications. This study is particularly valuable insofar as it provides universities, business schools and higher education centres knowledge of the latest marketing skills and competencies required in the B2B sector.
