Published: December 2020

A política externa é uma política pública, tanto em seu desenho, quanto em sua formulação e em sua gestão, sendo executada frente à uma ampla gama de atores estatais, instituições governamentais e não governamentais. Entretanto, diferentemente de uma política pública comum, a política externa corresponde a todas as ações projetadas dentro de um Estado e que desdobram no meio externo; ademais, não está circunscrita ao plano internacional, mas também à variáveis de natureza endógena e com fatores internos, tais como o regime político, os processos decisórios e a liderança. Desta maneira, o artigo objetiva destacar o funcionamento do processo decisório, a tramitação de projetos de lei, e as relações entre Executivo e Legislativo no presidencialismo chileno em matérias de política externa, evidenciando como as instituições políticas influenciam na tomada de decisão de políticas públicas. Para tanto, serão observados documentos formais e informais, considerando aspectos institucionais, constitucionais e regimentais.
A ALOCAÇÃO DOS PARTIDOS NO ESPECTRO IDEOLÓGICO A PARTIR DA ATUAÇÃO PARLAMENTAR / THE ALLOCATION OF PARTIES IN THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM FROM THE PARLIAMENTARY BEHAVIOUR
Authors: Scheeffer Fernando
Published: December 2020

Embora haja várias formas de classificação dos partidos em uma escala esquerda-direita (E-D), a análise do comportamento efetivo é um dos métodos mais importantes visto que se pauta no que é fundamental: a ação dos agentes políticos. Diante disso, o presente artigo pretende comparar a tradicional classificação dos partidos brasileiros com a análise de 24 votações nominais notadamente ideológicas realizadas na Câmara dos Deputados no período de 2011 a 2015. Foi elaborada uma classificação geral a partir do comportamento efetivo no total de votações analisadas; e, de forma conjunta, o posicionamento em temas clássicos e nos chamados “novos” temas. No geral, chamam a atenção algumas dissonâncias importantes com o que é corriqueiramente vislumbrado pela Ciência Política. O PT permanece na esquerda, só sendo superado pelo PSOL. O DEM não é o partido mais à direita do espectro político, enquanto que o PMDB se coloca à direita do PSDB e próximo ao DEM, ou seja, se comporta como um partido de direita.

Este artigo tem como propósito principal revelar o perfil socioeconômico e político dos parlamentares estaduais capixabas. Para isso, inicialmente será feita uma discussão sobre elites no plano federal e nos estados, de modo a estabelecer parâmetros de análise do caso capixaba. Afinal, em que os deputados do Espírito Santo se assemelham a seus pares de outras casas legislativas e o que isso pode informar sobre a profissionalização e a institucionalização do campo parlamentar no estado? A análise se refere ao período entre 1987 a 2010, que abrange da 11ª à 17ª Legislatura. O estudo permitiu identificar o perfil social dos parlamentares, no qual se destacam elevada predominância masculina, alta escolaridade, presença acentuada de empresários e profissionais liberais, em especial advogados. Em relação ao perfil político, nota-se um crescente acúmulo de experiência do parlamentar médio, supostamente incompatível com os baixos níveis de organização interna e institucionalização da Casa.

Authors: Okado Lucas Toshiaki Archangelo , Ribeiro Ednaldo Aparecido
Published: December 2020

O trabalho de Ronald Inglehart sobre a síndrome do pós-materialismo foi um dos responsáveis pela retomada da agenda culturalista no final dos anos setenta. Ele contestou o conceito normativo de cultura cívica, identificando o que, futuramente, se convencionou denominar de cidadania crítica. Recentemente alguns pontos de seu trabalho foram revisados, dando origem a novas proposições teóricas acerca da mudança cultural. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar alguns elementos recentes daquele debate propostos na teoria evolutiva da emancipação humana, com ênfase nas novas formulações das proposições teóricas da mudança valorativa, no tratamento empírico dado a este fenômeno e suas consequências para as democracias contemporâneas. Para este intento, são apresentadas evidências de como a mudança de valores tem afetado o conceito de cultura cívica, as transformações teóricas e empíricas desta agenda, bem como as críticas mais importantes direcionadas a estas novas formulações.

O trabalho visa, a partir do mapeamento e identificação dos diferentes mecanismos de interface socioestatal no interior da estrutura administrativa do Estado, tanto no âmbito da esfera municipal (Prefeitura Municipal de Florianópolis), como estadual (Governo do Estado de Santa Catarina), proceder a uma primeira aproximação acerca da inserção e relações das ouvidorias governamentais no conjunto mais amplo de interfaces socioestatais. Tendo em vista, portanto, avaliar possíveis articulações dessa modalidade de interface socioestatal, o trabalho combina elementos analíticos da literatura das instituições participativas e das políticas públicas, em especial no que diz respeito ao conceito de intersetorialidade e alguns de seus condicionantes, seja no plano institucional - trajetória, recursos e regras-, seja no da atuação dos agentes - políticos, burocráticos e sociais.
TRANSMISSÕES AO VIVO NAS TVS LEGISLATIVAS: DAS EXIGÊNCIAS DE TRANSPARÊNCIA AOS DESAFIOS ATUAIS
Authors: Barreto Rachel
Published: December 2020

A transparência é a justificativa para a criação e a própria existência das TVs legislativas. Todavia, a relação entre transmissões ao vivo e transparência não é direta e linear, mas ambivalente. O artigo discute essa relação a partir de quatro eixos principais: os impactos da introdução de câmeras nos parlamentos; a programação das emissoras legislativas; a linguagem das transmissões ao vivo; e o hermetismo dos procedimentos legislativos. Ao final, são abordadas algumas inovações tecnológicas recentes, que prescindem da mediação jornalística para garantir a transparência dos parlamentos, e os desafios que elas colocam às emissoras legislativas.

Published: December 2020

A proliferação de escândalos com agentes políticos denunciados em práticas de corrupção tem abalado de forma intensa a democracia brasileira. Atores de todo o espectro ideológico têm se visto envolvidos com denúncias. Uma indagação premente é: essas práticas são capazes de produzir assimetrias, alterando a taxa de sucesso das proposições de autoria ou de relatoria dos implicados? A aplicação de regressão logística aos dados de proposições de autoria de envolvidos nos escândalos do Mensalão e da Operação Lava Jato permite concluir que a taxa de chance de transformação em norma, para esse conjunto, é 57,90% maior que para os demais casos. Também são apresentadas conclusões sobre a diferenciação entre as categorias de normas de autoria dos agentes citados nos casos de corrupção.

A comparative and experimental study of the reactivity with nitrate radical of two terpenes: α-terpinene and γ-terpinene
Authors: Fouqueau Axel , Cirtog Manuela , Cazaunau Mathieu , Pangui Edouard , Doussin Jean-François , Picquet-Varrault Bénédicte
Published: December 2020

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are intensely
emitted by forests and crops into the atmosphere. During the night, they
react very rapidly with the nitrate radical (NO3), leading to the
formation of a variety of functionalized products including organic nitrates
and to large amounts of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). Organic nitrates
(ONs) have been shown not only to play a key role in the transport of reactive
nitrogen and consequently in the ozone budget but also to be important
components of the total organic-aerosol mass, while SOAs are known to play a direct
and indirect role in the climate. However, the reactivity of BVOCs with
NO3 remains poorly studied. The aim of this work is to provide new
kinetic and mechanistic data for two monoterpenes (C10H16),
α- and γ-terpinene, through experiments in simulation
chambers. These two compounds, which have very similar chemical structures,
have been chosen in order not only to overcome the lack of experimental data but also to
highlight the influence of the chemical structure on the reactivity. Rate constants have been measured using both relative and absolute methods.
They were found to be (1.2±0.5)×10-10 and (2.9±1.1)×10-11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 for α- and γ-terpinene respectively. Mechanistic studies have
also been conducted in order to identify and quantify the main reaction
products. Total organic nitrate and SOA yields have been determined. While
organic nitrate formation yields appear to be similar, SOA yields exhibit
large differences with γ-terpinene being a much more efficient
precursor of aerosols. In order to provide explanations for this difference, chemical analysis of the gas-phase products was performed at the molecular scale. Detected products allowed for proposing chemical mechanisms and providing explanations through peroxy and alkoxy reaction pathways.

Abstract. In a companion article (Jimenez et al., 2020), we introduced a new lidar method to derive microphysical properties of liquid-water clouds (cloud extinction coefficient, droplet effective radius, liquid-water content, cloud droplet number concentration Nd) at a height of 50–100 m above the cloud base together with aerosol information (aerosol extinction coefficients, cloud condensation nuclei concentration NCCN) below the cloud layer so that detailed studies of the influence of given aerosol conditions on the evolution of liquid-water cloud layers with high temporal resolution solely based on lidar observations have become possible now. The novel cloud retrieval technique makes use of lidar observations of the volume linear depolarization ratio at two different receiver field of views (FOVs). In this article, Part 2, the new dual-FOV polarization lidar technique is applied to cloud measurements in pristine marine conditions at Punta Arenas in southern Chile. A multiwavelength polarization Raman lidar, upgraded by integrating a second polarization-sensitive channel to permit depolarization ratio observations at two FOVs, was used for these measurements at the southernmost tip of South America. Two case studies are presented to demonstrate the potential of the new lidar technique. Successful aerosol–cloud-interaction (ACI) studies based on measurements with the upgraded aerosol–cloud lidar in combination with a Doppler lidar of the vertical wind component could be carried out with 1 min temporal resolution at these pristine conditions. In a stratocumulus layer at the top of the convective boundary layer, we found values of Nd and NCCN (for 0.2 % water supersaturation) ranging from 15–100 and 75–200 cm−3, respectively, during updraft periods.
The studies of the aerosol impact on cloud properties yielded ACI values close to 1. The impact of aerosol water uptake on the ACI studies was analyzed with the result that the highest ACI values were obtained when considering aerosol proxies (light-extinction coefficient αpar or NCCN) measured at heights about 500 m below the cloud base (and thus for dry aerosol conditions).
Characteristics of surface energy balance and atmospheric
circulation during hot-and-polluted episodes and their synergistic

Published: December 2020

Abstract. This study analyzed the nature, mechanisms and drivers for Hot-and-Polluted episodes (HPEs) in the Pearl River Delta, China. Numerical model simulations were conducted for summer and autumn of 2009–2011. A total of eight HPEs were identified, mainly happening in August and September. K-means clustering was applied to group the HPEs into three clusters based on their characteristics and mechanism. We found three HPEs were driven by weak subsidence and convection induced by approaching tropical cyclones (TC-HPE), two HPEs was controlled by calm conditions (ST-HPE) with low wind speed at the lower atmosphere, whereas the remaining three HPEs were driven by the combination of both aforementioned systems (HY-HPE). TC-HPE and ST-HPE had both positive synergistic effect between HPE and UHI (~1.1 °C increase); whereas no discernible synergistic effect was found in HY-HPE. Total aerosol radiative forcing (TARF) caused a reduction in temperature (0.5–1.0 °C) in TC-HPE and ST-HPE, but an increase (0.5 °C) in HY-HPE.
Future evolution of aerosols and implications for climate change in
the Euro-Mediterranean region
Authors: Drugé Thomas , Nabat Pierre , Mallet Marc , Somot Samuel
Published: December 2020

Abstract. This study investigates, through regional climate modelling, the surface mass concentration and AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth) evolution of the various (anthropogenic and natural) aerosols over the Euro-Mediterranean region between the end of the 20th century and the mid-21st century. The direct aerosol radiative forcing (DRF) as well as the future Euro-Mediterranean climate sensitivity to aerosols have been also analysed. Different regional climate simulations were carried out with the CNRM-ALADIN63 regional climate model, driven by the global CNRM-ESM2-1 Earth System Model (used in CMIP6) and coupled to the TACTIC (Tropospheric Aerosols for ClimaTe In CNRM) interactive aerosol scheme. These simulations follow several future scenarios called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP 1-1.9, SSP 3-7.0 and SSP 5-8.5), which have been chosen to analyse a wide range of possible future scenarios in terms of aerosol or particles precursors emissions. Between the historical and the future period, results show a total AOD decrease between 30 and 40 % over Europe for the three scenarios mainly due to the sulfate AOD decrease (between −85 and −93 %), that is partly offset by the nitrate and ammonium particles AOD increase (between +90 and +120 %). According to these three scenarios, nitrate aerosols become the largest contributor to the total AOD during the future period over Europe, with a contribution between 43.5 and 47.5 %. Concerning natural aerosols, their contribution to the total AOD increases slightly between the two periods. The different evolution of aerosols therefore impacts their DRF, with a significant sulfate DRF decrease by 2.6 W m−2 and a moderate nitrate and ammonium DRF increase by 1.4 W m−2, on average according to the three scenarios over Europe. These changes, which are similar under the different scenarios, explain about 65 % of the annual shortwave radiation change but also about 6 % (in annual average) of the warming expected over Europe by the middle of the century. This study shows, with the SSP 5-8.5, that the extra-warming attributable to the anthropogenic aerosols evolution over Central Europe and the Iberian Peninsula during the summer period is due to aerosol-radiation as well as aerosol-cloud interactions processes. The extra-warming of about 0.2 °C over Central Europe is explained by a surface radiation increase of 5.8 W m−2 over this region, due to both a surface aerosol DRF decrease of 4.4 W m−2 and cloud optical depth (COD) decrease of 1.3. In parallel, the simulated extra-warming of 0.2 °C observed over the Iberian Peninsula is due, as for it, to a COD decrease of 1.3 but also to an atmospheric dynamics change leading to a cloud cover decrease of about 2 % and a drier air in the lower layers, signature of the semi-direct forcing. This study thus highlights the necessity of taking into account the evolution of aerosols in future regional climate simulations.
On the similarities and differences between the products of oxidation
of hydrocarbons under simulated atmospheric conditions and cool-flames
Authors: Benoit Roland , Belhadj Nesrine , Lailliau Maxence , Dagaut Philippe
Published: December 2020

Abstract. Whereas the kinetics of oxidation of limonene has been extensively studied and mechanisms for its oxidation by OH and/or ozone have been proposed, more studies are required for better understanding its oxidation pathways. The oxidation of limonene-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures was studied using a jet-stirred reactor at elevated temperature and atmospheric pressure. Samples of the reacting mixtures were collected and analyzed by high resolution mass spectrometry (Orbitrap) after direct injection or after separation by reverse-phase ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography and soft ionization by (+/−) HESI and (+/−) APCI. The results indicate that among the 1138 detected products, many oxygenates found in earlier studies of limonene oxidation by OH and/or ozone are also produced under the present conditions. Other highly oxygenated products and oligomers were also detected in the present work. The results are discussed in terms of reaction pathways involving the initial formation of peroxy radicals, isomerization reactions yielding keto-hydroperoxides and other oxygenated intermediates and products up to C25H32O17. The possible occurrence of the Waddington mechanism and of the Korcek mechanism are also discussed. The present work demonstrates similarities between the oxidation products and oxidation pathways of limonene under simulated atmospheric conditions and in those encountered during the self-ignition of hydrocarbons at low temperatures, which should stimulate future interactions between communities of atmospheric chemistry and combustion chemistry to improve current chemical models.
A framework for seasonal variations of hydrological model parameters: impact on model results and response to dynamic catchment characteristics
Authors: Lan Tian , Lin Kairong , Xu Chong-Yu , Liu Zhiyong , Cai Huayang
Published: December 2020

Abstract. Previous studies have shown that the seasonal dynamics of
model parameters can compensate for structural defects of hydrological
models and improve the accuracy and robustness of the streamflow forecast to
some extent. However, some fundamental issues for improving model
performance with seasonal dynamic parameters still need to be addressed. In
this regard, this study is dedicated to (1) proposing a novel framework for
seasonal variations of hydrological model parameters to improve model
performance and (2) expanding the discussion on model results and the response
of seasonal dynamic parameters to dynamic characteristics of catchments. The
procedure of the framework is developed with (1) extraction of the dynamic
catchment characteristics using current data-mining techniques, (2)
subperiod calibration operations for seasonal dynamic parameters,
considering the effects of the significant correlation between the
parameters, the number of multiplying parameters, and the temporal memory in
the model states in two adjacent subperiods on calibration operations, and
(3) multi-metric assessment of model performance designed for various flow
phases. The main finding is that (1) the proposed framework significantly
improved the accuracy and robustness of the model; (2) however, there was
a generally poor response of the seasonal dynamic parameter set to catchment
dynamics. Namely, the dynamic changes in parameters did not follow the
dynamics of catchment characteristics. Hence, we deepen the discussion on
the poor response in terms of (1) the evolutionary processes of seasonal
dynamic parameters optimized by global optimization, considering that the
possible failure in finding the global optimum might lead to unreasonable
seasonal dynamic parameter values. Moreover, a practical tool for
visualizing the evolutionary processes of seasonal dynamic parameters was
designed using geometry visualization techniques. (2) We also discuss the strong correlation
between parameters considering that dynamic changes in one parameter might
be interfered with by other parameters due to their interdependence.
Consequently, the poor response of the seasonal dynamic parameter set to dynamic
catchment characteristics may be attributed in part to the possible failure
in finding the global optimum and strong correlation between parameters.
Further analysis also revealed that even though individual parameters cannot
respond well to dynamic catchment characteristics, a dynamic parameter
set could carry the information extracted from dynamic catchment
characteristics and improve the model performance.
What controls the coarse sediment yield to a Mediterranean delta? The case of the Llobregat River (NE Iberian Peninsula)
Authors: Martín-Vide Juan P. , Prats-Puntí Arnau , Ferrer-Boix Carles
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The human pressure upon an alluvial river in the
Mediterranean region has changed its riverine and deltaic landscapes. The
river has been channelized in the last 70 years while the delta has been
retreating for more than a century (a set of data unknown, so far). The
paper concentrates on the fluvial component, trying to connect it to the
delta evolution. Is the channelization responsible for the delta retreat? We
develop a method to compute the actual bed load transport with real
information of the past river morphology. The paper compares the computation
with very limited measurements, among which are bulk volumes of trapped material
at a modern, deep river mouth. The decrease in sediment availability in the
last 30 km of the channelized river is deemed responsible for the decrease
in the sediment yield to the delta. Moreover, power development and flood
frequency should be responsible for a baseline delta retreat during the 20th century. The sediment trapping efficiency of dams is less important than the
flow regulation by dams, in the annual sediment yield. Therefore, it is more effective to dismantle channelization than to pass sediment at dams, to provide sand to the beaches.

Abstract. To investigate the annual cycle of sound-scattering layers in the Black Sea, a moored profiler equipped with an acoustic Doppler current meter, a conductivity-temperature-depth probe, and fast sensors for dissolved oxygen [O2] was employed. Approximately 13,350 multiparameter profiles from the near-surface layer down to the near-bottom layer were obtained at intervals of 1–2 h from 2013–2020. The acoustic system allowed for observations of ultrasound backscattering at 3 angles at 2 MHz frequency. Combinations of the volume strength data of the 3 acoustic beams (directional acoustic backscatter ratios, R) were found to be a useful tool for visualizing acoustic backscatter patterns associated with mesoplankton in the oxycline and hypoxic zone. The time series of R as a function of [O2] at depths where [O2]
User Preferences for Privacy Protection Methods in Mobile Health Apps: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Zhou Leming , Parmanto Bambang
Published: December 2020

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) apps have the potential to facilitate convenient health care delivery and self-management of health. However, many users have concerns about their privacy when they use mHealth apps. Different apps provide different solutions for protecting users’ privacy. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine user preferences among the several privacy protection methods used in current mHealth apps and the reasons behind their preferences. Methods: Five privacy protection methods currently used in mHealth apps were presented to a group of study participants who had mild or moderate depression and expressed concerns about privacy of information when they used mental health apps. After a demonstration of the methods, study participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire and indicate their perceived privacy protection level (PPPL) of each method, their preference rating for each method, and the privacy protection methods they had used in the past. A brief interview was then conducted to collect study participants’ comments on these methods and elicit the reasons for their preference ratings. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the statistical significance of differences in participants’ preference ratings and in the PPPLs obtained for the five methods. Study participants’ comments on the privacy protection methods and suggestions were noted and summarized. Results: Forty (40) study participants were selected from a large candidate pool using the IRB approved selection criteria. All study participants viewed the app demonstration and understood the five privacy protection methods properly, which was indicated by their correct sorting of the PPPL of the five methods in their answers to the questionnaire. All study participants specified their preferences with respect to these methods and provided the rationale behind their selections on the questionnaire and during the brief interview. The results indicate that the users preferred privacy protection methods with customizable modules in multi-purpose apps because of their convenience and strong privacy protection, where the customization can be done either in the app or via a Web portal. Conclusions: This study identified user preferred privacy protection methods. These identified privacy protection methods may be used in many types of apps that perform sensitive health information management to better protect users’ privacy and encourage more users to adopt these mHealth apps.

Published: December 2020

Family caregivers are vital to telehealth-delivered dementia care. The objective of this mixed methods descriptive study conducted in the VA Bedford Healthcare System was to examine caregiver satisfaction with a video telehealth dementia home safety occupational therapy evaluation. Ten caregivers of Veterans with dementia participated. Ratings of caregiver satisfaction, measured by nine Likert scale items including ability to see and hear, were examined in relation to person and visit-related contextual factors extracted from RA field notes, to develop an in-depth understanding of caregiver experience. Person factors included caregiver age and gender and Veteran cognitive status. Visit-related contextual factors included occurrence  of technical glitches. Caregiver visit satisfaction was overall positive, with exceptions related to technological glitches and the presence of the person with dementia during the visit. Veteran cognitive status appeared to influence caregiver satisfaction. Implications of the study are that proactively addressing technical glitches and incorporating dementia stage-specific approaches may optimize caregivers’ telehealth experience.

Published: December 2020

For families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the transition to school (i.e., beginning of kindergarten) often means the end of specialized early intervention services and several changes in types of support. These changes can be especially problematic for families from immigrant backgrounds, who are more likely to experience challenges navigating the health and education systems. The overall goal of this study was to document parents’ perspectives on the transition from early intensive behavioural intervention (EIBI) services to school. Qualitative semi-structured interviews based on the grounded theory framework were conducted with 18 families (29 parents) from different cultural backgrounds living in Québec (Canada). Results on the facilitators and barriers encountered during the transition and on partnerships (i.e., the parent–school team dyad, EIBI team–school team dyad) highlight the importance of improving continuity between services, of preparing children and parents for the transition, and of strengthening the professional relationship and the school’s culture of openness.

The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of Covid-19 pandemic to women entrepreneurs in the informal sector of Zimbabwe. A qualitative study was conducted in Mashonaland West province in Zimbabwe. Data was collected through telephone interviews from 16 informal business women entrepreneurs in the retail sector. The participants were involved businesses that include; vegetable vending, operating clothing flea market and cross border trading. The study established that business for women entrepreneurs in the informal sector were affected by inter-province travelling regulations. It was also established that women were most affected as they are responsible for making sure that children are fed on daily basis. To make matters worse, some were widows and others were looking after many orphans. This to a larger extent encouraged cases of strained relationship in the home because of inadequate resources especially food. Cases were also reported of gender-based violence because all members of the family were now spending most of their time together with little resources to use in looking after the family. Thus, health problems such as high blood pressure and were also witnessed. The study recommended the government to provide protective equipment and sanitizers to women entrepreneurs and informal traders so that they can safely continue to produce, distribute and sell their merchandise. The government should assist with transport for smallholder farmers to ferry their produce to markets safely. Also, the government was recommended to communicate with market leaders about how to best handle a lockdown and reopening.
n. 50 - SISTEMA DE GESTÃO PEDAGÓGICA: TENSÕES NO TRABALHO DE COORDENADORES PEDAGÓGICOS DE ESCOLAS MUNICIPAIS

Published: December 2020

Este artigo integra investigação maior que analisou um programa implementado pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo denominado Sistema de Gestão Pedagógica (SGP). O artigo tem como propósito discutir usos de um recurso tecnológico para (re) organizar a atuação de coordenadores pedagógicos no contexto do trabalho cotidiano na rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo (RME-SP). A fundamentação teórica ancorou-se em estudos que tratam da construção da identidade profissional e saberes mobilizados na atuação de coordenadores pedagógicos. Trata-se de investigação qualitativa e exploratória, que lançou mão da análise documental, da observação participante e da entrevista compreensiva. Este artigo apresenta e discute os dados produzidos a partir de entrevistas compreensivas com coordenadoras pedagógicas de escolas da rede municipal de São Paulo. A análise dos dados revela que o programa trouxe algumas contribuições para o exercício das funções do coordenador pedagógico devido à otimização do acompanhamento dos registros docentes e possíveis intervenções pedagógicas relacionadas a diagnóstico, planejamento e avaliação. Contudo, os dados também indicam contradições na implementação do programa em função da necessidade de seu aperfeiçoamento, assim como a melhoria da infraestrutura das escolas para racionalizar e dinamizar o processo de registro, leitura e análise de informações pedagógicas por professores e gestores.
n. 48 - REFORMULAÇÃO DO CURRÍCULO DO PROGRAMA MAIS EDUCAÇÃO: MAIS EDUCAÇÃO OU MAIS ENSINO?
Authors: Barbosa Zenildo José , Rodrigues Cibele Maria Lima
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de fazer uma análise comparativa entre os discursos presentes nos textos oficiais do PME (2007) e do Novo Mais Educação (2016), no que se refere a política e proposta curricular. Utilizamos o ciclo de políticas de Ball et al (1992). Na política do currículo, nos amparamos em Lopes (2006) e outros. Em linhas gerais, podemos perceber diferenças nas políticas de currículo e suas propostas, contidas nos dois programas, sobretudo no tocante à formação integral dos estudantes, visto que o “Novo” estabelece prioridade no ensino de português e matemática em detrimento de outros conhecimentos. Ele se insere na lógica de controle por meio das avaliações padronizadas que passaram a ser sinônimo de qualidade, mas que não consideram o contexto educacional dos estudantes, nem as condições de trabalho dos profissionais da educação.

A Comparison of Undergraduate Students’ Perception of Tutorials Before and During the COVID-19: A Case of the University of Kwazulu-Natal in the Discipline of Public Governance
Authors: Nyawo Jabulani
Published: December 2020

Enhancing students’ learning experience through support structures such as tutorial sessions is essential.  Students attending the tutorial sessions within the Discipline of Public Governance have never been given the opportunity to provide feedback on the sessions they have attended. They only get a chance to evaluate their lecturers using closed and open-ended questions to capture their learning experiences about modules’ structure, content, delivery and assessments. This implied a need to explore the students’ perceptions about the tutorial sessions during the normal conditions and under severe conditions like this of COVID-19. The quantitative approach was utilised and the data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to the undergraduate students. The participants attended tutorials within the Discipline of Public Governance during the first semester of the year 2020. The study findings indicated that tutorial sessions occupy a critical role in students' development and learning. It is the platform for the students to easily interact with other students, discuss issues, and improve their performance. The study recommends that higher education institutions invest in the tutorial structure as one of the student support systems as it produces positive results in enhancing student learning. Redefining and reviewing the tutorial support structure is always crucial to improve the tutorial sessions' quality.

Two birds with one stone?

In this contribution, the authors enter into a debate on the innovation The Netherlands Council for the Judiciary made quite recently, promoting social effective justice (maatschappelijk effectieve rechtspraak;to English readers more familiar under the label of ‘Problem solving courts’).

Klijn has quite serious doubts about this strategy. First of all: the judge is not - and never has been - a problem solver, as (a) the judge lacks the competences to do so and (b) the structure of legal procedure falls fundamentally short of this task. Secondly, in our contemporary society other professionals are in charge of intervening in social conflicts, and they are much better positioned to do so, at the appropriate moment in time. Thirdly, in making this choice the Council misunderstands its role as the Third State Power, vis-a-vis the much greater influence of changing societal conditions stimulating societal changes.

Restorative justice after motor vehicle accidents

Those involved in a motor vehicle accident often have emotional needs that are not being met within the current framework of personal injury settlement. These needs include sharing one’s (side of the) story, getting in touch with the other person(s) involved and offering or receiving apologies. Following Nils Christie’s theory of ‘stolen’ conflicts, the fact that the people involved are often represented by lawyers or insurance companies is problematic because it alienates them from each other and it thwarts proper recovery. Incorporating restorative justice could offer a solution to this ‘theft’ of conflict, as it focuses on bringing all involved together to restore any of the harm done by concentrating on their needs. The central question to this dissertation is: how can restorative justice play a role in the sustainable resolution of conflicts after motor vehicle accidents so that the current insurance and liability system can better meet the immaterial needs of victims and perpetrators? Via several projects, the role of lawyers and insurance companies is studied. How beneficial or adversarial are their influences on victims and offenders? And can they incorporate restorative justice in their practice? The first publication is expected at the end of this year.

Four decades of socio-legal research on regulatory enforcement in the Netherlands

Because of the sharp contrast between the law-in-the-books and the law-in-action regulatory enforcement has always been a popular subject in socio-legal research. This paper looks back at forty years of Dutch research on regulatory enforcement, using several key publications in this journal from each decade. First, it is argued that these Dutch studies reveal three general themes: this research can be seen as a time machine that takes us back to some of the most important social and political events of the past decades, these studies emphasize the crucial role of individual enforcement officials, and in everyday enforcement state law only plays a limited role. Next, this review also discusses some of the strengths and weaknesses of Dutch research. Most studies on regulatory enforcement are more interested in the role of the state than in the role of citizens and businesses. As a result, research focuses more on issues of effectiveness and less on questions of legitimacy. Finally, empirical research is seen as more important than theory development. Based on this overview, the author introduces a new research agenda for future research on regulatory enforcement.

Access to Justice and legal aid. About the evolution of the socio-legal approach of access to justice and legal aid in the low countries

This contribution puts the developments of the socio-legal approach of access to justice and legal aid in the low countries (Belgium and the Netherlands) in a broad perspective. During the last 40 years, the journal has dealt with some general problems, related to the accessibility of justice and legal aid and the effects of legislation in that field. Some important differences between het Belgian and the Dutch situation are highlighted. Although the general situation has not changed dramatically in both countries, some improvements have been achieved, e.g. when it comes to the so called “social legal aid”. Still, a better and more equal access to justice has to be promoted and realised.
