The Aporia of Omniscience
Authors: Rönnedal Daniel ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: July 2020

This paper introduces a new aporia, the aporia of omniscience. The puzzle consists of three propositions: (1) It is possible that there is someone who is necessarily omniscient and infallible, (2) It is necessary that all beliefs are historically settled, and (3) It is possible that the future is open. Every sentence in this set is intuitively reasonable and there are prima facie plausible arguments for each of them. However, the whole set {(1), (2), (3)} is inconsistent. Therefore, it seems to be that case that at least one of the propositions in this set must be false. I discuss some possible solutions to the problem and consider some arguments for and against these solutions.
Políticas públicas municipais para a educação primária em Pelotas, RS, Brasil (1940-1961)
Authors: Vicente Magda de Abreu , Amaral Giana Lange do
Published: June 2020

O presente artigo examina as políticas municipais para a educação na cidade de Pelotas – RS, de 1940 a 1961, com o objetivo de destacar o envolvimento da municipalidade em relação à abertura de escolas e a normatização do ensino primário. Na análise, de cunho histórico documental, foram consultadas leis, atos, decretos, regimentos e relatórios anuais do município. A investigação demonstrou que, a partir de 1945, houve um considerável aumento de recursos destinados à educação pública municipal. Foram alocadas verbas, principalmente, para a contratação de professores e abertura de escolas primárias isoladas localizadas na zona rural. Tal fato foi incentivado pelo fim da ditadura do governo de Getúlio Vargas, pela criação, em 1942, do Fundo Nacional para o Ensino Primário e pelos encargos que foram atribuídos ao município, a partir da Constituição Federal de 1946, em relação ao financiamento educacional bem como pela influência política do Partido Social Democrata em nível federal, regional e local.
O jornal impresso: possibilidade de letramento numa perspectiva discursiva na educação infantil
Authors: Casarin Inês Buglini , Azevedo Heloisa Oliveira
Published: June 2020

Este artigo constitui-se de relato de pesquisa acadêmico-cientifica de abordagem qualitativa exploratória que investigou práticas pedagógicas de professoras em duas turmas de educação infantil no município de Campinas. O problema da pesquisa situou-se em compreender como o jornal impresso pode se constituir em mediador do desenvolvimento da linguagem e do pensamento infantis. Neste artigo apresentamos as análises realizadas mediante o entrelaçamento das transcrições das entrevistas semiestruturadas com os registros de observação. O material empírico foi analisado com base em pressupostos da teoria histórico-cultural e da perspectiva bakhitiniana. Destacamos que as práticas pedagógicas planejadas tomando como mediador o jornal impresso, possibilitaram a inserção das crianças no mundo letrado e na realidade circundante e a proposta de elaboração de um jornal das salas constituiu-se um deflagrador da produção textual infantil. Os gêneros discursivos contidos no jornal possibilitaram a interlocução, a troca de experiências e a abordagem de temáticas constantes nos planejamentos das professoras, tornando o ensino contextualizado e significativo.
Neurociência cognitiva e Educação: análise sobre a prevalência de neuromitos entre os docentes de Matemática e das demais áreas do conhecimento atuantes na SRE de Carangola-MG
Authors: Sá Adrielle Lourenço de , Narciso Ana Lucia do Carmo , Fumiã Herman Fialho
Published: June 2020

A Neurociência Cognitiva busca, através de diversas metodologias investigativas, analisar como se dão as atividades mentais relacionadas à cognição em áreas cerebrais importantes para a Educação. Tendo em vista que as atividades desenvolvidas no Sistema Nervoso Central influenciam no processo de aprendizagem, e que os Neuromitos são o principal entrave para que se estabeleça um diálogo entre Neurociência e Educação, o presente trabalho apresentou resultados acerca da prevalência de Neuromitos entre professores atuantes em escolas pertencentes à 5ª Superintendência Regional de Ensino de Carangola - MG. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário aos professores com asserções relativas a aspectos básicos do funcionamento do Sistema Nervoso, mescladas com alguns dos Neuromitos mais frequentes na Educação. A partir disso, pôde ser feita uma comparação entre os resultados obtidos pelos professores de Matemática e das demais áreas e, verificou-se que de modo geral, estes apresentam pouco conhecimento sobre o tema, embora demonstrem interesse.

ABSTRACT

The aim of contemporary language for specific purposes (LSP) is to prepare students for independent and competent performance in the globalised world of English as a lingua franca, with oral presentations as an indispensable element. Recognising that many students experience anxiety when faced with public speaking, instructors need to boost their self-confidence and improve their oral presentation skills, which can be achieved by promoting team-work and collaborative learning. The aim of this paper is to explore whether peer assessment of oral presentations influences the level of students’ attainment of oral presentation skills. The research was conducted at the Dag Hammarskjöld University College of International Relations and Diplomacy in Zagreb. By using an assessment tool, the participants evaluated their colleagues’ presentations at the beginning and the end of the semester. A significant difference between the two sets of results was found. Additionally, the analysis of students’ attitudes toward peer assessment complements the quantitative findings, demonstrating that participants recognise its importance and are able to self-reflect more efficiently on their own and their colleagues’ work.

IOLIANOS y MERCOREOS, víctima y justiciero. Un mito nada inocente.
Authors: Sánchez Jaén Jesús
Published: July 2020

ResumenEl emperador Juliano murió en batalla, pero para la tradición cristiana lo mató San Mercurio después de aparecerse en un sueño a Basilio, obispo de Cesarea. En las fuentes que narran su muerte hay muchos puntos oscuros, y la tradición cristiana creó una narración muy compleja. En ella Juliano es el villano y Mercurio el salvador de la humanidad. Un estudio detallado muestra una manipulación destinada a ejemplificar el fin del paganismo gracias a la intervención divina. Intentamos demostrar que la construcción del mito no fue inocente, y que el mismo tiene una intencionalidad política tanto como religiosa. Palabras clave: Juliano, San Mercurio, paganismo, mito, manipulaciónAbstractEmperor Julian died on the battlefield, but according to the Christian tradition he was killed by St. Mercurius after a dream of Basil of Caesarea. Pagan and Christians writers do not explain the facts clearly, and they leave many important doubts. Christian historians of V and VI century have created a very complex tale: emperor Julian was evil; St. Mercurius was the saviour of the humanity. This article will demonstrate a manipulation to exemplify the end of paganism due to divine intervention. We intend to prove that the myth creation was not innocent and had a religious and political purpose.Key words: Julian, Mercurius, paganism, myth, manipulation

“E-parenting +” a través de una Escuela de Familias: Formación parental como transferencia desde la investigación
Authors: Ramírez-García Antonia , Aguaded-Gómez Ignacio
Published: July 2020

La sociedad del siglo XXI se caracteriza por una proliferación de la tecnología y los dispositivos móviles. La familia, como institución social que es, no se encuentra exenta de la convivencia con estas pantallas y el hogar se convierte en un escenario en el que las relaciones familiares empiezan a estar condicionadas por la gestión que se realiza de estos dispositivos y el acceso a Internet a través de los mismos. La investigación documental conforma la base de este trabajo y el diseño bibliográfico el soporte de la revisión documental. El instrumento utilizado fue una guía de análisis elaborada ad hoc. Se presenta una propuesta formativa de las familias a través de una Escuela de Familias online, enmarcada en los principios propios de la Orientación Educativa (prevención, desarrollo e intervención social), capaz de desarrollar competencias parentales positivas mediante una metodología basada en el aprendizaje experiencial de los progenitores o la creación de un entorno personal de aprendizaje, entre otros aspectos. La evaluación de esta Escuela de Familias se sitúa en el marco de referencia de un proceso evaluativo centrado en evidencias.
En conclusión, la formación de las familias sobre la gestión de los dispositivos móviles en el hogar no es solo una necesidad, sino también una exigencia social.
Amistad, Sumo Bien y sociedad ética en Kant
Authors: Rivadulla Durán Almudena
Published: July 2020

En este breve artículo trataremos de argumentar a favor de que los conceptos de ‘amistad moral’, ‘Sumo Bien’ y ‘sociedad ética’ están interrelacionados de un modo muy específico. Veremos que la correspondencia entre el deber de amistad y el deber de promover el Sumo Bien es una correspondencia muy particular que no se puede trasladar a casos como la relación que puede haber entre el deber de beneficiencia y el Sumo Bien. Es verdad que, al cumplir con el deber de beneficencia, los hombres promueven una cultura moral. Sin embargo, la unión en la que consiste la amistad no refleja solo la existencia de una cultura moral entre los hombres, sino la de una sociedad ética.
Technische Kultur als Pflicht bei Kant
Authors: Klingner Stefan
Published: July 2020

Wie die meisten seiner Zeitgenossen hält auch Kant die Kultivierung der natürlichen Anlagen für moralisch geboten. Allerdings ist seine Begründung dieses Gebots, die er in der Tugendlehre vorlegt, nicht ganz einfach zu verstehen. Denn einerseits darf diese Begründung keine pragmatische oder naturteleologische sein, um als moralphilosophische zu gelten. Und andererseits betrifft das Gebot zur technischen Kultivierung lediglich eine Naturanlage, die als solche moralphilosophisch irrelevant zu sein scheint. Dennoch behauptet Kant, dass technische Kultur ein moralisch gebotenes Mittel für die Realisierung des höchsten moralischen Zwecks der Menschheit ist. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird eine Antwort auf die Frage gegeben, inwiefern dieses teleologische Urteil Kants gerechtfertigt ist. Dafür werden sein Begriff von technischer Kultur, seine Darstellungen der Pflicht zu technischer Kultur in der Tugendlehre sowie seine Konzeption ‚metaphysischer Anfangsgründe‘ vorgestellt, so dass seine Begründung der Pflicht zu technischer Kultur als moralteleologische verstanden werden kann.
‘What ought we do?’ and other questions
Authors: O´Neill Onora
Published: July 2020

Kant formulates the question “What ought I do?” as an agent’s question. This is not the only way in which practical reasoning can be approached. A great deal of contemporary work in ethics and political philosophy addresses different, often narrower, questions. Much of it focuses primarily on recipients rather than agents, and so on entitlements or rights rather than on requirements or duties to act, including most obviously discussions of human rights. I will consider some of the consequences and the advantages of starting from each of these questions, and some of the ways in which each shapes practical reasoning.
Ist der Wille allein ausreichend für Moralität?
Authors: Akimoto Yasutaka
Published: July 2020

Kant zufolge kann jeder, der es will, moralisch gut handeln. Doch kann diese Aussage auch einer genaueren Prüfung standhalten? Ist es nicht möglich, sich in seinem moralischen Urteil zu irren oder fälschlich davon überzeugt zu sein, pflichtgemäß und aus Pflicht gehandelt zu haben? Darauf antwortet Kant, dass Moralität nicht von der korrekten Ableitung des moralischen Gesetzes abhängt, sondern davon, ob sich der Handelnde seines moralischen Urteils gewiss ist. Auch sei nicht entscheidend, ob er tatsächlich pflichtmäßig aus Pflicht gehandelt habe, sondern lediglich, dass er sich bewusst um eine solche Handlung bemüht habe.
El sentimiento de respeto y la estructura del vínculo moral
Authors: Torralba José María
Published: July 2020

El vínculo moral es la relación de obligación en que se encuentra un sujeto con respecto a un deber. A partir del análisis del sentimiento de respeto se muestra que la estructura del vínculo moral en Kant consiste en la relación de dos instancias: homo noumenon y homo phaenomenon. Siguiendo algunas ideas de Schiller, se argumenta que en un planteamiento de ese tipo la autonomía del sujeto nunca puede ser completa, pues siempre hay un elemento externo en la determinación de la voluntad. Se concluye afirmando que esta imposibilidad no es necesariamente un defecto en la teoría de Kant.

Deserción escolar universitaria: Patrones para prevenirla aplicando minería de datos educativa
Authors: Urbina-Nájera Argelia Berenice , Camino-Hampshire José Carlos , Cruz Barbosa Raúl
Published: July 2020

Recientemente, el uso de técnicas de minería de datos educativa ha cobrado gran relevancia al aplicarlas en la predicción del desempeño, creación de modelos predictivos de retención, perfiles de comportamiento, fracaso escolar, entre otros. En este trabajo se presenta la aplicación del algoritmo selección de atributos para identificar los factores más importantes que inciden en la decisión de desertar; también, se utilizan árboles de decisión para definir patrones que pueden alertar una inminente deserción. Se adaptó un instrumento y se administró vía web a 300 estudiantes de IES pública y 200 estudiantes de IES privada actualmente inscritos en algún programa de nivel superior. Mediante el algoritmo selección de atributos se encontraron 27 factores relevantes, dentro de los tres factores principales se reconocen la falta de asesorías, la falta de un ambiente estudiantil adecuado y la falta de seguimiento académico, mientras que, por medio del árbol de decisión se encontraron 7 patrones, en donde uno de ellos incluye factores como: ambiente estudiantil, apoyos financieros insuficientes, experiencia de una situación incómoda, lugar que ocupa la elección de la carrera, entre otros. Finalmente, se ha visto que la deserción escolar no depende de un solo factor, sino que es multifactorial y que es imperativo ampliar la muestra a otras ciudades de manera que se puedan aplicar diversos algoritmos que proporcionen mayor información que conduzcan al establecimiento de mecanismos certeros para disminuir los índices de deserción universitaria en función de las características de la población estudiantil según la región.
Los estudios de historia y género en América Latina
Authors: Lux Martha , Pérez Pérez María Cristina
Published: July 2020

Objective/Context: With this article we undertake, on the one hand, to make an analytical reflection on the category of gender from a few representative studies that use it as a tool for analysis and interpretation in historical studies, showing the appropriation, advances, and uses of this category over the last three decades in Latin America. On the other hand, we present the articles that comprise this dossier, which, given their thematic variety, constitute advances in the relationship between history and gender. Methodology: In the construction of the article, we picked up on research carried out by academics who, from different perspectives and positions, have dealt with the relationship between history and gender in scientific articles, research texts, and books, originating from investigations in research groups, conferences, and colloquia, in the countries of the region. The article, however, does not pretend to cover all topics, all approaches, and all methods, much less be a reflection of all the relevant work that has been produced in the historical discipline, carried out in the various Latin American academies, otherwise, varied and with uneven developments. Originality: The text emphasizes that the relationship between history and gender is in itself a long-standing construction, identifying certain aspects in the evolution of the category of gender, its relational character with other categories, other notions and other concepts, and describing a set of fields for renewal and new perspectives in historical research on gender. Conclusions: In this approach, we conclude that it becomes increasingly necessary when using the category of gender that it not be understood as a synonym for “women”; that it be used in a relational manner being cognizant of the actions of women and men, on the basis that in the exercise of power there are also changing forces of resistance, negotiation, conflict, and consensus; that the uses of the category of gender do not replace the sense of feminisms, their contributions, and claims, nor the approaches of studies on women, and that the category and gender relations are an open topic, to think from the present about new ways of constructing reality, or of approaching past realities.
Construcción de los géneros en la educación misional de Laishí (Formosa, Argentina, 1901-1950). Acercamiento desde el análisis de un corpus fotográfico
Authors: Liva Yamila , Arqueros Guadalupe
Published: July 2020

Objective/Context: This article is based on the analysis of photographs taken at the Laishí Mission (Order of Franciscan Friars Minor, 1901-1950), in the National Territory of Formosa (Argentina). This Mission was intended for the Qom people, as an educational project, in which the regeneration of indigenous groups would be achieved through systematic education. The objective is to identify how these photographs were used to represent the success of the project, especially in the field of gendered production of bodies in a differentiated form, together with the foundation of a constructed subjectivity linked to the conversion to Catholicism. Methodology: The photographs will be studied from an intersectional perspective (that is, recognizing the relationships between multiple identities) informed by a gender perspective, to interpret the hierarchies and the roles that were being constructed between indigenous people in the context of missionary work. Originality: A corpus of little-studied images is read through a gender perspective and understood as the space where a —never neutral— network of interests and restraints converges. Conclusions: The photographs prove that the performativities established in the bodies of boys, girls, men and women, through work and education, as soft technologies, reinforced the alleged civilization of the indigenous people, along with conversion to gender norms, which led to reinforcing the representations of European modernity.
Gratitude and Resilience among Adolescents Who Have Experienced Parental Divorce
Authors: Shabrina Khairunnisa , Kusristanti Chandradewi , Listiyandini Ratih Arruum
Published: June 2020

Compared to other cities in Indonesia, DKI Jakarta, as one of the largest urban areas, is ranked quite high in divorce rates. It is known that parental divorce has several impacts on children. For example, adolescents with divorced parents have a greater risk of various psychological problems. Previous studies have shown that gratitude enhances positivity and optimism, and it also helps individuals through difficult times, including parental divorce. This non-experimental study aims to determine the role of gratitude in resilience among adolescents (12 – 21 years old) based in the Jakarta metropolitan area (Jabodetabek), whose parents are divorced. Non-probability sampling was used to recruit the participants (n = 109). The measurements used in this study are the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (α = 0.896) and Gratitude Scale Indonesian Version (Skala Bersyukur Versi Indonesia (SBI)) (α = 0.896). Simple linear regression showed that gratitude plays a significant role in a participant’s resilience (p < 0.05). Further, 28.9% of the variance in resilience can be explained by gratitude. These findings highlight the importance of gratitude interventions to enhance resilience among adolescents with divorced parents.
Support for Palestinian among Indonesian Muslim: Religious identity and solidarity as reasons for e-petition signing
Authors: Shadiqi Muhammad Abdan , Muluk Hamdi , Milla Mirra Noor
Published: June 2020

A petition is a form of collective action urging the government or a public entity to resolve a specific situation. There is inconsistency between previous research on whether religious or political identity is more likely to lead to radical or peaceful actions, especially in terms of how feelings of solidarity relate to religious-political issues. This study examines the reasons Indonesians signed e-petitions supporting Palestine. Data were collected from the comment sections of e-petitions supporting Palestine on change.org. In total, we analyzed 380 comments from 25 e-petitions using a qualitative approach. Using NVivo for thematic analysis, we found that the most recurring themes were moral violation, followed by independence for Palestine, solidarity, hatred as a negative emotion, and religious identity. Additionally, matrix nodes analysis showed identification with Islam was related to solidarity. These findings suggest that the similarity of religious identity in the two nations can be associated with solidarity as a reason for signing the e-petitions. We also discussed the association between moral violation and independence for Palestine as reasons for signing the e-petitions.
Q10 Co-enzyme Effect on Fetus Implantation in ART Cycles
Authors: Ghasemzadeh Aliyeh , Moghadam Samira Abdollahi , Farzadi Laya , Noori Mohammad
Published: June 2020

Background and Aim: Infertility is a common condition that affects many couples. Although current cutting-edge therapeutic methods have been found promising in this regard, their success still is not sufficiently high. Accordingly, researchers are working to develop new methods to augment the likelihood of successful results of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Recently, coenzyme Q10 has been recognized an important and influential factor in the process of reproduction and some scarce studies have been along favorable results in this regard. This study aims to examine the effect of oral administration of coenzyme Q10 on embryo implantation in ART cycles. Methods and Materials: In this randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, a total of 128 infertile females who were candidates for ART were randomized in two groups receiving either a daily capsule of coenzyme Q10 by the commencement of gonadotropin through to pregnancy test result (case group, 64 patients), or placebo (control group, 64 patients). Finally, oocyte count, fertilization rate, embryo count, quality of embryos, transferred embryo count, implantation rate and pregnancy rate were compared between the two groups. Results: The mean age of the patients was 32.77±6.01 years (20-41) in the case group and 32.45±5.93 years (20-42) in the case group, with no significant difference between the two groups (p=0.77). In comparison between the case and control groups, in spite of better results in the case group, no significant difference was found in terms of oocyte count (10.47±7.16 and 9.38±7.52, respectively; p=0.40), fertilization rate (66.88±16.08 % and 66.73±21.50 %, respectively; p=0.96), embryo count (7.03±4.78 and 5.84±4.85, respectively; p=0.17), quality of embryos (71.9% grade I and 28.1% grade II in cases, 68.8% grade I and 31.3% grade II in controls; p=0.70) transferred embryo count (10.9% one, 56.3% two-three and 32.8% more than three in cases, 14% one, 56.3% two-three and 29.7% more than three in controls; p=0.84), implantation rate (8.39±12.73 % and 7.22±12.80 %, respectively; p=0.60), and pregnancy rate (34.4% and 26.6%, respectively; p=0.34). Conclusion: Although using coenzyme Q10, in comparison with placebo, was along with better results in terms of outcome variables of ART, the difference was statistically insignificant possibly because of a small sample size and short duration of the intervention.

Effects of microbial evolution dominate those of experimental host-mediated indirect selection
Authors: Arora Jigyasa , Mars Brisbin Margaret A. , Mikheyev Alexander S.
Published: July 2020

Microbes ubiquitously inhabit animals and plants, often affecting their host’s phenotype. As a result, even in a constant genetic background, the host’s phenotype may evolve through indirect selection on the microbiome. ‘Microbiome engineering’ offers a promising novel approach for attaining desired host traits but has been attempted only a few times. Building on the known role of the microbiome on development in fruit flies, we attempted to evolve earlier-eclosing flies by selecting on microbes in the growth media. We carried out parallel evolution experiments in no- and high-sugar diets by transferring media associated with fast-developing fly lines over the course of four selection cycles. In each cycle, we used sterile eggs from the same inbred population, and assayed mean fly eclosion times. Ultimately, flies eclosed seven to twelve hours earlier, depending on the diet, but microbiome engineering had no effect relative to a random-selection control treatment. 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the microbiome did evolve, particularly in the no sugar diet, with an increase in Shannon diversity over time. Thus, while microbiome evolution did affect host eclosion times, these effects were incidental. Instead, any experimentally enforced selection effects were swamped by uncontrolled microbial evolution, likely resulting in its adaptation to the media. These results imply that selection on host phenotypes must be strong enough to overcome other selection pressures simultaneously operating on the microbiome. The independent evolutionary trajectories of the host and the microbiome may limit the extent to which indirect selection on the microbiome can ultimately affect host phenotype. Random-selection lines accounting for independent microbial evolution are essential for experimental microbiome engineering studies.
Bioindicator potential of Ricinus communis to simulated rainfall containing potassium fluoride

Published: July 2020

Background

Fluoride pollution is a global problem because of its high phytotoxicity. Fluoride is released in air, water and soil through industrial processes, where it damages various plant species. Ricinus communis is widely distributed in Brazil, India and China and has been extensively used as a phytoremediation species in heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, few studies regarding the effect of air pollutants on R. communis have been published, and no information about the exposure of this species to fluoride is available. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of fluoride on R. communis morphoanatomical and physiological responses using simulated rainfall containing potassium fluoride (KF).

Methods

Young plants at approximately 10 days after emergence were treated daily with KF using simulated rainfall at 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mg L−1, for 37 consecutive days. Chlorophyll a fluorescence, gas exchange, anatomical characteristics and fluoride accumulation in the roots and leaves were evaluated after this period.

Results

No visual or anatomical symptoms were observed for the first three treatments. Necrosis and chlorosis were visually evident after the 37th day of KF application at 4.5 mg L−1, followed by changes in parenchyma tissues, cell collapse and phenolic compound accumulation at the end of the experiment. No damage was observed in terms of photosynthetic photochemical and biochemical stages. Maintenance of physiological characteristics in the presence of fluoride accumulation in roots and leaves were shown to be important fluoride biomarkers. These characteristics suggest that R. communis is tolerant to 1.5 and 3.0 mg L−1 KF, and is anatomically sensitive at 4.5 mg L−1 KF.
MICRORREVOLUÇÕES EDUCACIONAIS: AS APROPRIAÇÕES DE DELEUZE E GUATTARI
Authors: Vinci Christian Fernando Ribeiro Guimarães
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo procurará pensar os movimentos de difusão do pensamento de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari no Brasil, compreendendo como a leitura desses autores dialogou com os movimentos políticos que tomaram corpo em nosso país nos anos 1974-1990. Posteriormente, procuraremos pensar a apropriação desses autores pelos estudos da área educacional a partir do surgimento do paradigma teórico que se convencionou chamar de "pós-crítico" em início da década de 1990. Com o surgimento dessa nova perspectiva, certas verdades pedagógicas passam a ser questionadas, como aquela que apregoa o poder emancipador do conhecimento, e o ideal de revolução presente nos estudos de acento crítico cedem lugar para uma perspectiva analítica que busca operar microrrevoluções.

As ciências sociais no pós IIª Guerra foram basilares para a construção teórica da educação. O conceito antropológico de cultura era fundamental para desconstruir a concepção biológica da vida coletiva, presente no Brasil desde o início da República. A mudança no aporte teórico visava atenuar preconceitos das mais variadas ordens. Tal percepção possuía centralidade para que a educação, entendida como socialização, cumprisse essa função. Potencializar a eficiência da escola, desvendando por meio da pesquisa social, os padrões das culturas locais, era indispensável para o objetivo de adequar a escola ao projeto socializador. Analisamos a inserção da abordagem antropológica nas pesquisas em educação realizadas em Santa Catarina, tendo por referência o antropólogo Santos e as pesquisas realizadas no Cepe sob sua coordenação na década de 1960.
INCLUSIÓN COMO MÉTODO
Authors: Ocampo González Aldo
Published: July 2020

En este trabajo exploro algunos de los dilemas definitorios de la educación inclusiva, específicamente, el déficit metodológico que atraviesa su campo de producción. La configuración de su saber impone un proyecto intelectual de resistencia. En efecto, La ‘inclusión’ corresponde al fenómeno y campo, mientras que, la ‘educación inclusiva’ instituye la circunscripción intelectual. Ambas poseen la capacidad de performar la realidad. Una de sus consideraciones más relevantes consiste en evaluar los criterios y las prácticas científicas y analíticas que colaboran en el ensamblado de su teorización y objeto de estudio –post-disciplinar–. Inclusión como método presenta un singular enfoque analítico, se distancia de un conjunto de planteamientos que conciben la sección del sintagma referida al ‘método’ en tanto técnica o metodología en particular. Más bien, presenta la fabricación de una estrategia epistemológica para abordar una amplia variedad de problemas educativos de carácter complejos. Su heurística trabaja a partir de la metáfora post-colonial ‘hablar de vuelta’ configurando un nuevo vocabulario y un sistema recognoscitivo dedicado a comprender una multiplicidad de problemáticas. El trabajo concluye observando que, su método es atravesado por múltiples aristas de análisis y posiciones heterogéneas, se propone enfrentar estratégicamente la normatividad del método –pretensiones hegemónicas de ciertas corrientes–, se interesa por crear condiciones que permitan capturar la multiplicidad de posiciones propias de los fenómenos basados en la dispersión, en lo estriado y en lo irregular. Inclusión como método se convierte en una estrategia analítica construida en un contexto histórico específico.

Authors: Militão Silvio Cesar Nunes , Kiill Andressa Neves
Published: July 2020

A educação em tempo integral, ultimamente, adquiriu centralidade na agenda política e educacional brasileira, multiplicando-se pelo país com experiências municipais para sua implantação. O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em mapear, descrever e analisar – mediante pesquisa bibliográfica e aplicação de questionários –, algumas experiências em curso no estado de São Paulo. Entre os principais resultados, observou-se que as experiências investigadas são, majoritariamente, recentes, sem normatização e fundamentadas em argumentos pedagógicos. Desenvolvem-se na própria escola, no contraturno, por mais de sete horas diárias, contemplando o esporte e o reforço escolar como atividades principais. Sem caráter universal, privilegiam o atendimento de alunos em situação de vulnerabilidade social.

Published: July 2020

Utilizar filmes é um recurso pedagógico eficiente na popularização das Neurociências. O projeto de extensão “NeuroMovies” propôs apresentar filmes temáticos para a divulgação científica. Uma enquete nas redes sociais selecionou os temas dos filmes (Alzheimer precoce, doença degenerativa, narcolepsia e prosopagnosia). As inscrições foram gratuitas, por meio de um formulário online que continha questões sobre as temáticas. Ocorreram 4 sessões, de abril a julho de 2016, e ao final de cada sessão, os ouvintes responderam um questionário. Participaram das sessões, respectivamente 88, 54, 38, 37 ouvintes. Divulgar neurociência pela lente dos filmes foi eficiente e agradável, além de corrigir os conhecimentos prévios equivocados sobre os temas mais desconhecidos. Os discentes envolvidos adquiriram uma boa vivência em eventos extensionistas.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a common hypertensive disorder during pregnancy and one of the leading causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity. There is no curative modern drug to treat PE. Therefore, researches done on traditional medications have paramount importance in discovering therapeutic and /or protective agents from plant materials. In Ethiopia, there are claims that some indigenous medicinal plants such as Thymus and Moringa can have potential protective functions against PE. The aim of this study was to prove the claims.

Methods: Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of aqueous leaf extracts of Thymus schimperi (ALETS) and Moringa stenopetala (ALEMS) on PE rat models induced by nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME); a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. A non-invasive tail cuff blood pressure recorder (Model 179 Amplifier, IITC INC, Life Science Instruments, Woodland Hills, California) was used to determine the arterial blood pressure from rat tail. Urine  analysis  to determine protein levels  was  performed  using  a  dipstick,  semi-qualitative  method  as  per  manufacturer’s instructions (CYBO DFI Korea).

Results: ALETS treated PE rat models showed significantly reduced mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in mmHg; 108±3 (P<0.05), 105±1 (P<0.01) and 99±2 (P<0.01); also the same pattern of results were seen in ALEMS treated PE groups with MAP of 106±1 (P<0.05), 103±1 (P<0.05) and 101±1 (P<0.05) at daily doses of 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, respectively, compared to untreated case group that had 123±3.7 mmHg at gestation day (GD) 19 . Untreated PE rat models showed significant proteinuria (2000±20 mg/L) throughout the gestation period; while PE rat models treated with either ALETS or ALEMS had significantly reduced (p<0.05) proteinuria in dose dependent pattern (150±15 mg/L) at a dose of 1 gm/kg for each plant extract at GD 19.

Conclusion: Aqueous leaf extracts of either Thymus schimperi or Moringa stenopetala might reduce and control arterial pressure in PE rat models in a dose dependent manner.  The extracts also could reduce level of proteinuria in the same pattern. Further investigation should, however, be carried out to confirm their uses in prevention and/or treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension among human cases.

Gestational Diabetes is a condition characterized by hyperglycemia that provides a drop-in insulin performance in its appropriate receptors by hormones secreted by the placenta and fetus. The main fetal comorbidities are macrosomia, growth disorder, and congenital and maternal anomalies in gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, vascular injury, and post-gestational diabetes. This study addressed the possible treatments with medicinal plants in gestational diabetes. Medicinal plants that have the diabetic purpose were researched, however, many pregnant women use and do not know the effects that can happen for the fetus and also for itself, the plants used for this work is not satisfactory for pregnant women with diabetes, but for non-diabetics, some are beneficial for treating this pathology. It becomes necessary for people to know the effects of plants that are used to treat certain types of diseases because most often in great excess can be fatal. All of them presented satisfactory results in a study for diabetes mellitus in non-pregnant patients, but the study presented by Cow's Paw (Bauhinia forficata l.) in pregnant rats with diabetes showed harmful results in embryo implantation and there was no glycemic control, which leads us to investigate further under the use of all plants in the treatment of gestational diabetes.

Authors: Atta Kousik , Chettri P. , Pal A. K.
Published: July 2020

Aims: To study the effect of iso-osmotic potentials of drought and salinity during seedling growth stage in ricebean.

Study Design: Completely randomised design.

Place and Duration of Study: The lab experiment was conducted during the year of 2017- 2018 and 2018-2019 in ricebean variety Bidhan 1 at Department of Plant Physiology, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India.

Methodology: For studying the effect of iso-osmotic potential of salinity and drought stress, the solutions of NaCl and PEG 6000 with -0.2, -0.4 and -0.8 MPa osmotic potential were used and the experiment was conducted in sand culture using modified Hoagland solution [1] under laboratory condition of diffused light, at around 80±1% relative humidity (R.H.) and at a temperature of 28±1°C.

Results: All the biochemical parameters under study, in general were adversely affected by the both stress with the effects being more drastic as the intensity of stress increased. The highest intensity of salinity stress was found to produce more adverse effects than drought in respect of RLWC, leaf chlorophyll as well as protein content in leaves of ricebean in the present experiment. While the content of soluble sugar, starch and phenol in the leaf were more drastically affected by drought stress.

Conclusion: The drought stress was found to register more drastic effects on seedling growth as compared to iso-osmotic potential of salinity stress, especially, at the highest intensity of stress in ricebean cultivar Bidhan 1.
