Revisión teórica y empírica desde la psicología sobre representaciones sociales del envejecimiento y la vejez en Latinoamérica y España (2009-2013)
Authors: López Gómez María Del Pilar
Published: May 2017

En los últimos años la presencia de personas mayores de 60 años crece aceleradamente en los países latinoamericanos, con una tendencia a triplicarse en los próximos veinte años, debido a la alta expectativa de vida, en algunos países, y a las bajas tasas de mortalidad. Teniendo en cuenta las implicaciones que el envejecimiento de la población genera, la sociedad a través de la academia se interesa por entender y comprender esta compleja realidad. Desde la psicología existe un particular interés por indagar lo que se piensa acerca del envejecimiento y la vejez como objetos sociales, teniendo en cuenta que aquello que se piensa sobre algún objeto, sea real o imaginario, configura una realidad respecto del mismo. En tal sentido, esta investigación da cuenta de la producción científica realizada en América Latina y España, en torno a las representaciones sociales del envejecimiento y la vejez por parte de los profesionales de la psicología; se consideró investigar un periodo de cinco años comprendido entre el 2009 y el 2013. Para esta compilación se tienen en cuenta los trabajos publicados en revistas científicas, tesinas, tesis de maestría, tesis doctorales, ponencias, capítulos de libros, libros y resúmenes, cuya búsqueda se hizo física y virtualmente en revistas especializadas con la ayuda del motor de búsqueda Google Académico; para ello fue preciso definir categorías de pensamiento social como: actitud, creencia, estereotipo, prejuicio, ideología, imagen, imaginario social, mito, opinión, percepción social y representación social. Luego del análisis se identificó un total de cuarenta y cinco -45- documentos, producidos mayoritariamente por investigadores del sexo femenino. La mayor producción corresponde a países como Colombia y España, seguidos por Argentina, México y Brasil. La categoría de pensamiento social más empleada es la de representaciones sociales; además, se evidenció la escasa participación de los profesionales en psicología que cursan el nivel de pregrado, así como se describen otros aspectos que complementan la problemática planteada, ante lo cual se sugieren recomendaciones respecto del presente y futuro sobre el envejecimiento y la vejez.

Published: May 2017

El objetivo del presente artículo es ofrecer una propuesta para una educación desde la otredad a partir del pensamiento dialógico; de este se toman algunos conceptos para determinar los principios, los principales actores, las prácticas educativas, el método de enseñanza-aprendizaje y los contenidos pedagógicos, factores esenciales para una formación de esta naturaleza. Además, se tienen en cuenta los aportes a la educación de tres pensadores latinoamericanos: Dussel, Freire y Skliar, para quienes el papel activo de la otredad es fundamental en cualquier proceso educativo. Como conclusión se puede decir que una educación auténtica es la que se realiza desde la otredad en el universo de las relaciones dialógicas.
Flat Layouts and Children Outdoor Activities
Authors: Abdul Aziz Azhan , Ahmad Abdullah Sani
Published: May 2017

In Malaysia's urban peripheries, where residential development still has room to expand, walk-up flats have become a popular form of low-cost housing because of their relatively low construction and maintenance costs to match the required demand of the increasing urban poor. In this housing type, standardization and spatial efficiency result in minimum dwelling space, causing life to spill to the outdoors which then becomes a vital social space for children. Appropriations of the space are an integral part of children's growing up and social experiences. The paper explores the differences in children's outdoor activities near the homes in relation to the different low-cost flat layouts through a comparative observational study. Different flat configurations were found to offer different spatial affordances for children's social experiences which could inform design decisions.

Authors: Miranda Abraham , Alvis Armando , Arrazola Paternina Guillermo
Published: May 2017

Se comparó el efecto de la aplicación de recubrimientos, a base de almidón de yuca y uno comercial, en la conservación de la papaya (Carica papaya) variedad Tainung. El recubrimiento de almidón de yuca fue preparado a una concentración de 4% p/v; la concentración de la cera comercial se preparó diluyendo una parte de cera con una parte de agua a temperatura ambiente. Las papayas se almacenaron acostadas (pedúnculo paralelo a la superficie), a temperatura ambiente (22°C ± 2°C) y humedad relativa del 85%, por un periodo de 9 días. En el estudio del efecto del encerado en las papayas, solo hubo significancia estadística (P<0.05) sobre las variables: pH y firmeza; asimismo, la interacción entre los factores encerado y tiempo fue altamente significativo en las variables: pH, °Brix y firmeza. Además, en el efecto del tiempo sobre todas las variables observadas (pH, °Brix, acidez (%), pérdida de masa y firmeza) existió diferencia estadísticamente significativa (P<0.05). Finalmente, se concluyó que en ambos recubrimientos y el control no se presentaron diferencias significativas en la acidez, sólidos solubles y pérdida de masa; sin embargo, estos fueron diferentes al control en el comportamiento de la firmeza y textura.
Cambios físico-químicos del aguacate (persea americana mill. cv. “hass”) en poscosecha para dos municipios de antioquia
Authors: Márquez Carlos , Yepes Diana , Sanchez Laura , Osorio Jairo
Published: May 2017

Las características fisiológicas y físico químicas de los aguacates (Persea americana Mill. cv. Hass) cultivados en los municipios del Carmen de Viboral y El Retiro ubicados en el Departamento de Antioquia (Colombia) son desconocidas, es por ello que el objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar los frutos provenientes de dichas regiones, los cuales fueron almacenados durante 21 días a 23°C y 65% de HR en promedio. Dentro de los parámetros fisiológicos evaluados se determinaron: tasa de respiración y pérdida fisiológica de peso, también se valoraron las características fisicoquímicas, como el color a través de la medida de los parámetros triestimulos L*, a*, y b*, firmeza, rendimiento en pulpa del fruto, contenido de humedad, materia seca, sólidos solubles totales (SST), acidez total titulable, pH y contenido lipídico. Se pudo comprobar que la tasa de respiración de los frutos de aguacate es típica de productos climatéricos monofásicos, presentando el pico climatérico en el día 8 de poscosecha, lo que probablemente es la causa de la cascada de eventos propios de la maduración, donde sobresalen los cambios en los SST los cuales fueron de 2,45 para el día 14 de poscosecha, la acidez total titulable disminuyó entre los días 1 a 10 de 0,25 a 0,18% y la firmeza presentó un decrecimiento continuo pasando de 67 Newton para el día 1 de poscosecha hasta 7,7 para el día 14 de poscosecha, además se pudo establecer una concentración de la fracción lipídica del 24% y del 22,5% para los aguacates cosechados en el Carmen de Viboral y El Retiro.
Efectos del anegamiento en los frutales. una revisión
Authors: Moreno Anderson , Fischer Gerhard
Published: May 2017

La lluvia excesiva, un mal o inexistente sistema de drenaje, y los suelos compactados son las causas principales del anegamiento que pueden generar reducción del crecimiento vegetal, cambios en el metabolismo de las plantas, menor absorción de agua y nutrientes, menor producción y la muerte completa de la planta iniciada desde sus órganos. La gravedad del anegamiento en las plantas estará determinada por el tiempo de exposición a este estrés y la tolerancia de éstas, siendo un motivo por el que las plantas pueden presentar modificaciones defensivas como vías alternas de respiración, mayor producción de antioxidantes y etileno, inducción de la epinastia y el cierre de estomas, además la formación de nuevas estructuras como el aerénquima, lenticelas hipertrofiadas y raíces adventicias. No obstante, la falta de oxígeno puede llevar a las plantas a la muerte. Existen medidas que siendo bien ejecutadas pueden ser de mucha utilidad para atenuar los efectos negativos de este estrés.

Authors: Bacca Tito , Benavides Pablo
Published: May 2017

El uso de anticontaminantes en las dietas artificiales para la cría masiva de insectos, son comúnmente utilizados para evitar la proliferación de microorganismos del ambiente, impidiendo la contaminación del alimento y espacio de los insectos criados. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el uso de los anticontaminantes formaldehido y nipagin en la dieta artificial Cenibroca para la cría de broca del café. Mediante este experimento, con la dieta Cenibroca, se obtuvo el mayor número de estados biológicos de broca por cada cm^3 de dieta, sin embargo se consiguió el mayor porcentaje de contaminación por los hongos Aspergillus sp. y Penicillum sp. Cuando se adicionó 2,65 mL de formaldehido por litro de Cenibroca, se obtuvo la menor contaminación de las dietas (3,3%). Esta adición no afectó la producción de estados biológicos de broca, en comparación con el resto de dietas, donde se utilizaron otros anticontaminantes. A partir de estos resultados es posible utilizar la dieta Cenibroca para cría de broca del café para la producción masiva de sus parasitoides.
Prosocial behavior in envy scenarios
Authors: Li Xiujun , Su Yuhui , Liu Xiaoshi , Shi Wendian , Shi Kan
Published: May 2017

We investigated prosocial behavior in different envy conditions. Participants (N = 118) responded to partners' requests for help after taking part in either a control scenario or scenarios where they felt that their partner was envious of them based on their performance (input),
a reward (output), or both (input–output). Results showed significantly different levels of prosocial behavior, with this being highest in the output envy scenario and lowest in the input–output envy scenario. Effects of benign and malicious envy were also assessed across scenarios.
In the input and output scenarios, malicious envy positively predicted prosocial behaviors and benign envy negatively predicted prosocial behaviors, whereas the opposite was true in the input–output scenario. Our results imply that employees experiencing benign envy can be motivated
to improve their own abilities and performance, whereas perceiving malicious envy is likely to elicit prosocial behavior by the envied person toward envious employees.
Advanced trim-cut technique to visualize melt flow dynamics inside laser cutting kerfs
Authors: Arntz D. , Petring D. , Jansen U. , Poprawe R.
Published: May 2017

Instabilities of the laser cutting front cause loss of quality due to the formation of striations on the cut flank. The mechanisms of striation generation during laser cutting are still not yet fully understood. To visualize the laser cutting process, the trim-cut technique was invented many years ago and is being continuously improved by different authors in the last years as well as in current studies. During a trim-cut, the laser beam is moved in-parallel along an existing sheet flank and cuts off a stripe of less than a standard kerf width. The cutting front and the transition to the resultant cut flank are directly visible. Without additional measures, the cutting gas jet expands during trimming in the half space freed by the lack of a second cutting edge. To maintain a guided supersonic gas jet path along the melt film and simultaneously enable the in-situ-observation of the cutting kerf with high-speed imaging, the missing cut flank is simulated by a transparent substrate, e.g., made of synthetic fused silica. In this manner, the gas jet is guided between the transparent substrate and the opposite real cutting flank. In this paper, a comprehensive review about trim-cut studies from different authors is given. Furthermore, an automated trim-cut test bench with two fast, highly accurate x/y-tables and versatile control features, as well as recent research results on melt flow characteristics during laser cutting of 6 mm thick stainless steel with 1 μm wavelength and nitrogen assist gas, are presented.

Authors: Sandoval Carvajal Irma , González Vega Lidia María
Published: May 2017

En este texto se presenta la primera estimación que se hace en Costa Rica acerca de la valoración económica del trabajo no remunerado, a partir de los resultados de la encuesta “Uso del tiempo de la Gran Área Metropolitana 2011” (EUT-GAM, 2011). El cálculo del valor económico del trabajo no remunerado para la Gran Área Metropolitana equivale a 16% del pib nacional, cifra que se asemeja a la de la industria manufacturera y a la del sector comercio. Los resultados revelan que 95% de este valor se refiere al trabajo doméstico y que existen importantes brechas entre las mujeres y los hombres. Se estimó también el valor económico para todo el país, que representa 30% del PIB. AbstractThis text presents the first estimate made in Costa Rica of the economic value of unpaid work, based on the results of the “Time Use in the Greater Metropolitan Area 2011” Survey (EUT-GAM, 2011). The economic value of unpaid work for the greater metropolitan area is estimated at 16% of GDP, a similar figure to that of the manufacturing in-dustry and trade sector. The results show that domestic work accounts for 95% of this value and that there are significant gaps between women and men. The economic value for the whole country, equivalent to 30% of GDP, is also estimated.

The Role of Universities on the Innovation Process of Industry as a Knowledge Source
Authors: Gulenc I. Figen , Araci Ozilem
Published: May 2017

Increasing possibility of innovation success depends on reducing risk and environmental uncertainties. Firms are forced by competition to benefit from not only internal knowledge sources but also external knowledge sources through the innovation process. This paper examines universities as an external knowledge source. Our aim is to reveal importance level of universities according to innovative and non-innovative firms. The data is gained from Community Innovation Survey (CIS-4), which was based on OECD’s Oslo manual. Firstly innovativeness of firms is inquired. Our sample includes both innovative and non-innovative firms. Then firms are asked to indicate importance level of universities for the innovation process. Importance level is scaled as “not used”, “low”, “medium” and “high”. After analysis, this paper draws a conclusion that innovative and non-innovative firms are different based on the importance level of universities as a knowledge source. 73,9% of the non-innovative firms assessed universities in “not used” level. Only 10,3% of innovative firms find universities in the “high” level important category as a knowledge source. Most of the firms evaluate importance level of universities in “low” level category. Firms should evaluate the idea of cooperate with universities. Universities have potential to increase innovative success of firms by providing new instruments, techniques and methods.
A Dual-Step Multi-Algorithm Approach for Churn Prediction in Pre-Paid Telecommunications Service Providers
Authors: Jahromi Ali Tamaddoni , Moeini Mehrad , Akbari Issar , Akbarzadeh Aram
Published: May 2017

Nowadays customer churn has become the main concern of companies which are active in different industries. Among all industries which suffer from this issue, telecommunications industry can be considered in the top of the list with approximate annual churn rate of 30%. Dealing with this problem, there exist different approaches via developing predictive models for customer churn but due to the nature of pre-paid mobile telephony market which is not contract-based, customer churn is not easily traceable and definable, thus constructing a predictive model would be of high complexity. Handling this issue, in this study, we developed a dual-step model building approach, which consists of clustering phase and classification phase. With this regard firstly, the customer base was divided into four clusters, based on their RFM related features, with the aim of extracting a logical definition of churn, and secondly, based on the churn definitions that were extracted in the first step, different algorithms were utilized with the intention of constructing predictive models for churn in our developed clusters. Evaluating and comparing the performance of the employed algorithms based on “gain measure”, we concluded that employing a multi-algorithm approach in the model constructing step, instead of single-algorithm one, can bring the maximum gain among the tested algorithms.
Design Strategy for the Reverse Supply Chain Based on Time Value of Product
Authors: Hui Huang , Gongqian Liang
Published: May 2017

Design strategies for reverse supply chains are relatively unexplored and underdeveloped. The losses due to time delays represent a significant opportunity for asset recovery. Reverse supply chain design decisions should reflect the differences in the marginal value of time among products. The anthors propose that reverse supply chain can be designed for cost efficiency or quick response, and the decision pivots on the product’s time value. The paper analyzes the time value of return product in reverse supply chain, and the products are classified into low and high MVT based time value. In the paper both the efficient, centralized reverse supply chain matching the low MVT product and the responsive, decentralized reverse supply chain matching the high MVT product are designed In addition, the paper presents some key technologies for designing the reverse supply chain.
The Emperor's New Clothes or Why It’s So Difficult to Implement New Innovation Strategies
Authors: Mecke Irmtraut
Published: May 2017

There are two topics, which people are currently very interested in: Leadership and management. Everyone interprets these topics in their own individual way – although the current course of events and style of innovation has challenged this. Depending on a person's theoretical and practical background and – of course – his position, his ideas range from a limited province to a broader multicultural point of view. In order to illustrate the reasons for this let us recall the fairytale the emperor's new clothes in which people perceived what didn’t exist. In this article we will make use of an integral way of viewing things. Only if we look at an organization's proceedings in entirety, will we fulfil the task and solve difficult problems in the future. Decision-makers normally know this fact, therefore it is all the more important that people express their thoughts and feelings and why we ultimately need both leadership and management.

Authors: Martins Osvaldo , Guevara Arnoldo José De Hoyos , Conti Diego De Melo , Cunha Telma Gonçalves
Published: May 2017

In this study, emphasis will be given to the challenge of the organizational management process within a development model that considers the territorial possibilities and necessities as a basis for the process of sustainable, endogenous development. The territorial unit considered in the study is the municipality, highlighting the existing possibility in Brazil of implanting a model of participatory management on taking into account the large number of small municipalities existing in the Country. The problematic of large cities is also analyzed, recognizing, however, the greater difficulty of articulation among the representative players of society, based on the exogenous forces engaging within these regions. In order to study the management process, the contexts that support the concept of sustainable development and the form of organizing the economic activities will be defined. In the discussion of management properly stated, emphasis will be given to administrative decentralization and to articulation, to planning process and to dissemination of information.

Authors: Nakagawa Marcus , Telles Beatriz Marcos , Guevara Arnoldo De Hoyos
Published: May 2017

This paper explores the issue of inserting the theme of sustainability in the core of corporate business strategies, since this insertion is based not only in punctual improvements in production processes, certifications, awards or adaptations of products and services, but also in the effective thinking about the needs of human beings that this product or service is tending to. From several benchmarks, including a few market surveys, the paper highlights and compares data from 20 model companies featured on the 2011 GuiaExame de Sustentabilidadewith the concept of the five corporate development stages, by Nidumolu, Prahaladand Rangaswami (2009) that support the discussion and strengthen the need to align products and services with strategies, in order to have sustainability in business. The conclusion is that few companies are in the most advanced stages and there is the need for greater corporate empowerment on the topic and for further research with similar topics.

O Desempenho de Uma Associação de Catadores de Materiais Recicláveis: Em Direção à Autonomia ou à Dependência?
Authors: Bernardes Marcos Eduardo Cordeiro , Cornetti Aline Aparecida Antunes , Pacheco Geraldo , Telles Beatriz Marcos , Fernandes Luciano Ramos da Silva
Published: May 2017

Os catadores de materiais recicláveis representam a possibilidade de reinserção social apartir daquilo que é descartado pela sociedade. Ao mesmo tempo, esse caminho não é construídosem percalços ou desafios. A ACIMAR – Associação dos Catadores Itajubenses de MateriaisRecicláveis foi fundada em 2007, a partir da organização dos trabalhadores/catadores de materiaisrecicláveis que atuavam nas ruas e no lixão de Itajubá, sul de Minas Gerais. Atualmente, a associaçãoé composta por volta de 30 membros. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar como a evoluçãotemporal da quantidade de material reciclável, assim como a respectiva renda gerada, influenciamna sustentabilidade da ACIMAR. Os dados em análise foram repassados pela associação a partirdos registros em seu livro-caixa, assim como das notas fiscais e registros financeiros. Como regrageral, pode-se afirmar que esses dados subestimam a movimentação de materiais recicláveis, oque também impacta nas estimativas de renda dos associados. Tal fato decorre da ausência deregistro contábil em ações como venda de materiais recicláveis, solicitações de vales, retirada derecursos financeiros para aquisição de alimentos para o grupo. A contribuição da ACIMAR parao processamento de materiais recicláveis na cidade de Itajubá ainda é modesta, representandono máximo 6% de todo o material reciclável gerado na cidade. Esta seria a estimativa caso fosseconsiderado que todos os resíduos recicláveis são de origem doméstica. Entre agosto de 2009 efevereiro de 2013, observou-se uma tendência de queda de 220 kg/mês na quantidade total demateriais recicláveis movimentados pela associação, especialmente devido ao fraco desempenhode agosto de 2012 em diante. Papel e papelão são os principais materiais comercializados pelaassociação. Assim, seus preços de mercado são estratégicos para garantir a sustentabilidade daACIMAR, de modo que as negociações em torno dos preços desses materiais devem ser conduzidascom critério e idealmente incluir diferentes compradores, em que os melhores valores devemser priorizados. Uma mudança nas características de coleta da associação vem acontecendorecentemente, uma vez que a maioria dos materiais recicláveis tem sido coletada diretamentenas ruas, especialmente de origem doméstica e comercial, com uma tendência positiva de 200 kg/mês, em detrimento de doações institucionais, como as universidades e indústrias. A autonomiaou a dependência da associação depende de como os próprios associados lidam e atribuemimportância a um acompanhamento contábil efetivo e transparente, realizado pelo próprio grupo.

Smoke is the most significant feature in the process of fire, so it’s possible to rely on smoke detection to detect fire. While the smoke image segmentation is the most difficult and also indispensable step in the analysis of smoke image detection. In order to improve its accuracy and effectively exclude the disturbances of non-smoke image, and lower the false alarm rate, it puts forward a kind of smoke image segmentation based on color model. It uses K-means clustering in Lab color space and threshold segmentation in HSV color space, then merges the two results. Finally, it uses the method of shen filter and regional mark to denoise, Experimental results on segmentation of smoke image show that the proposed method is able to segment smoke from the background.

The present paper approaches one of the most important themes in the business and economic areas since the second half of the 20th century: innovation; in particular for developing countries such as Brazil. For these countries, competitiveness is directly linked to the ability to foster and sustain a higher level of firms´ innovativeness. In Brazil, despite the overall economic and innovation conditions such as the presence of relevant innovation agents (i.e. universities, government, research centres and investors) and access to financing mechanisms as well as public policies which facilitated innovation initiatives have apparently been improved, innovation rates does not take off. So, considering this context, the present paper tried to examine what problems were hampering or inhibiting the improvement and increasing of the level of country´s innovativeness from the perspective of micro and small technology-based firms. The findings showed that there are still some problems such as lack of government support, funds and financing mechanisms as well as high costs of innovation and organizational resistances which play an important role pushing firms not to innovate.

A influência dos aforismos sapienciais no mito cosmogônico do Ἱερὸς Λόγος Hermético
Authors: Lira David Pessoa de
Published: May 2017

A despeito de Charles Harold Dodd ter afirmado que o Corpus Hermeticum III, intitulado Ἱερὸς Λόγος, não é um tratado hermético, mas judaico-estoico e que não tem nenhuma afinidade com a Literatura Hermética, mesmo que Walter Scott tenha considerado o Corp. Herm. III como um tratado sem ou quase inteiramente sem sentido, é plausível que esse texto tenha sido escrito sob a influência dos aforismos sapienciais ou das sentenças gnômicas, apresentando semelhanças com vários tratados herméticos, apresentando similaridades monistas. O mito cosmogônico do Ἱερὸς Λόγος é influenciado pelas sentenças iniciais e finais do tratado, que formam uma moldura e orientam todo texto. Embora seja considerado um tratado judaico-estoico, o Corp. Herm. III tem relações com os temas do hermetismo mágico-astrológico dos Papyri Graecae Magicae, tais como ϰοσμιϰὴ σύγϰρασις, ἀνάγϰη, ἐνέργεια e δύναμις ϑεία. Ademais, o Ἱερὸς Λόγος propõe o conhecimento das potências astrais divinas (εἰς γνῶσιν ϑείας δυνάμεως). O presente artigo objetiva, por meio de uma análise do gênero literário das γνῶμαι ou ἀφορισμοί e suas tipologias, demonstrar que o Corp. Herm. III é um tratado cujo monismo faz parte de toda uma tradição mágico-astrológica que subjaz ao texto religioso.

Published: May 2017

Este artigo sistematiza e analisa as percepções de 54 Professores Mediadores Escolares e Comunitários (PMECs), distribuídos em 43 escolas estaduais paulistas, sobre as ocorrências de situações de conflito e violência na escola. Trata-se de estudo exploratório, baseado na aplicação de questionário semiestruturado. Conclui que são altos os registros de depredação e pichação nas dependências externas e internas das escolas; de roubo de equipamentos e/ou praticados contra profissionais e alunos e de incidência de consumo, porte e tráfico de drogas nas dependências e proximidades das escolas. O principal local em que ocorrem situações de violência na escola é a sala de aula, o que pode comprometer a aprendizagem dos alunos. Nas ocorrências de agressão verbal e física, mais da metade dos professores não respondeu à questão sobre as ações adotadas para mediar o conflito, indicando certa impotência na efetivação da mediação deste tipo de conflito.
Terceirização nos tempos do cólera: o amor do setor público à precariedade
Authors: Venco Selma
Published: May 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a política educacional paulista em especial no que tange às relações de trabalho praticadas pela Secretaria Estadual de Educação de São Paulo. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, analisou as formas de contratação de professores no período compreendido entre 1999 e 2015. Essas, articuladas a outras medidas, levou à constatação da adoção do Estado gerencial, implementado em 1995 pelo então presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso, que conferiu amparo político e legal para que, em São Paulo, governado pelo mesmo partido político, servisse de um fidedigno laboratório social para experienciar o gerencialismo. A nova gestão pública, seguindo seus preceitos oriundos do setor privado, indica: a redução de custos, o aumento da eficiência nas esferas operacionais e gerenciais, refinamento das formas de controle sobre os professores e a tentativa de prescrever o trabalho intelectual baseando-se na estandardização dos conteúdos e aulas a serem avaliadas em série posteriormente.Palavras-chave: Trabalho docente.
