Pregnancy-Related Anxiety in Women Who Conceive Via In Vitro Fertilization: A Mixed Methods Approach
Authors: Stevenson Eleanor L. , Trotter Kathryn J. , Bergh Catherine , Sloane Richard
Published: July 2016

The process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) causes anxiety, but it is unclear whether this anxiety continues into pregnancy and affects childbirth preparation. This study administered the pregnancy-related anxiety measure to 144 women during their second trimester. Anxiety scores were slightly higher among IVF compared to non-IVF pregnant women. Thirty-one participants provided narrative data about their pregnancy-specific anxiety. Themes emerged from qualitative analysis related to anxiety about the health of their babies, perception of maternal health and safety, and perception of their abilities to fulfill the role of mother. Because of their relationship with patients during pregnancy, nurses and perinatal educators play a critical role in identification of women with pregnancy-specific anxieties and providing relevant care to address these anxieties.
Quando menos continua sendo mais
Authors: Martins Patrícia
Published: July 2016

O artigo analisa o projeto para a Praça Léon Aucoc, realizado em 1996, em Bordeaux, da dupla de arquitetos franceses Lacaton & Vassal. "Quando menos continua sendo mais" trata-se de um título-provocação, inspirado na referência constante ao trabalho de Mies van der Rohe feita pelos próprios arquitetos. O uso de tal frase, distante de sua possibilidade icônica, pretende contextualizar a proposta frente a alguns processos de geração de forma em uso a partir do movimento moderno e, desse modo, demonstrar como as questões formais e espaciais contidas na famosa máxima se transformam quando entendidas na contemporaneidade. Mais que uma homenagem a Mies, um manifesto contra a espetacularização da arquitetura.
Re-qualificação de orlas ferroviárias - O caso de Berlim
Authors: Nefs Merten
Published: July 2016

Desde seu início, a ferrovia tem provocado urbanização ao seu redor e, hoje em dia, seus equipamentos e terrenos abandonados nos centros metropolitanos provocam re-urbanização da cidade consolidada. Este artigo discute o projeto urbano baseado na re-qualificação de orlas ferroviárias. Procuram-se as condições características desse tipo de projeto e seus resultados, especialmente na cidade de Berlim após a queda do muro em 1989. A intervenção é colocada no contexto global de desindustrialização e descentralização da produção e infra-estrutura; no contexto nacional da reunificação da Alemanha ocidental e oriental; e no contexto regional da transformação da nova capital alemã após a queda do muro. A transformação de orlas ferroviárias berlinenses só pode ser explicada nestes três contextos, como concretização das ambições da cidade: tornar-se cidade global, em termos econômicos, em menos de uma década; retomar sua posição de pólo cultural europeu; e resolver a crise de identidade pós-Guerra Fria por meio do preenchimento dos numerosos vazios urbanos, herança da divisão da cidade. São discutidas algumas críticas em relação a essas ambições e à implementação das intervenções, considerando a morfologia típica da reconstrução, aspectos socioeconômicos e atitudes em relação à preservação de patrimônio histórico e ambiental. O discurso é ilustrado por três exemplos atuais de intervenções em orlas ferroviárias de Berlim.

Authors: Muniz César Rocha , Camargo Azael Rangel
Published: July 2016

Based on the Social Construction of Technology model, this work examines the collaborative design in Information Society. It comprehends some cognitive aspects of interface and discusses social and technical issues of collaborative work in different community types. Sustained by an empirical study of web interfaces, it establishes some recommendations for the construction of collaborative design interspaces and identifies some possibilities provided by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It concludes that if we avoid technologically deterministic approaches, there are strong evidences that ICTs provide special support for collaborative design practices and socially relevant technology oriented to creation and transfer.

Habitações térreas e multipavimentos de interesse social: avaliação de desempenho térmico para tipologias com vedações em alvenaria de blocos cerâmicos e de concreto
Authors: Sacht Helenice Maria , Rossignolo João Adriano
Published: July 2016

Os fechamentos verticais e horizontais exercem grande influência sobre as condições de conforto térmico de uma habitação, por isso os materiais devem ser escolhidos de acordo com as particularidades climáticas de determinada região. Com base nisso, este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de avaliação do desempenho térmico de uma tipologia habitacional térrea (TI24A) e uma tipologia multipavimentos (V052H-01) executadas pela Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano do Estado de São Paulo (CDHU), considerando vedações em alvenaria de blocos cerâmicos e de blocos de concreto. O objetivo deste estudo foi discutir a influência dos tipos de vedação no desempenho térmico da habitação. Foram determinados os critérios iniciais de estudo e executadas simulações computacionais empregando o software Arquitrop 3.0, para 10 cidades. Na tipologia térrea os dois tipos de alvenaria apresentaram desempenho semelhante, sendo que no verão não foi atendido nenhum dos níveis de desempenho para as cidades analisadas. Já na habitação multipavimentos a alvenaria de blocos cerâmicos, apresentou melhor desempenho térmico, principalmente no pavimento intermediário. As tipologias do pavimento da cobertura, em grande parte dos casos apresentaram temperaturas internas mais elevadas em cerca de 0,5 a 1ºC em relação às tipologias do pavimento intermediário.
Análise do comportamento térmico de diferentes arranjos urbanos na cidade de Maceió (AL) em escala de abordagem microclimática
Authors: Barbosa Ricardo Victor Rodrigues , Vecchia Francisco
Published: July 2016

A investigação analisou o comportamento térmico de diferentes arranjos urbanos na cidade de Maceió (AL), em escala de abordagem microclimática, tomando o canyon urbano como unidade amostral. O estudo foi realizado de forma experimental em nove unidades amostrais urbanas definidas ao longo de um transeto delineado na planície litorânea. A análise foi feita no período de inverno, no qual foram tomados três dias representativos do fato climático, identificados por meio da abordagem dinâmica do comportamento climático da região em estudo. Os resultados mostraram que especialmente a vegetação arbórea presente no canyon urbano condiciona a criação de ambientes termicamente favoráveis à saúde, habitabilidade e uso dos espaços urbanos – variáveis da qualidade ambiental –, expressos por meio dos resultados de temperatura e umidade do ar obtidos na investigação experimental.
Processo de Projeto Integrado: recomendações para empreendimentos com metas rigorosas de desempenho ambiental
Authors: Figueiredo Francisco Gitahy de , Silva Vanessa Gomes da
Published: July 2016

O Processo de Projeto Integrado (PPI) propõe o trabalho multidisciplinar dos vários agentes envolvidos desde o início do processo de projeto, sendo um dos primeiros passos a discussão e definição de um consenso entre cliente e projetistas quanto aos objetivos, metas de desempenho, meios, papéis e responsabilidades. Os objetivos deste artigo são: (1) sumarizar a referência teórica, composta pelos elementos metodológicos fundamentais que caracterizam PPIs; e (2), a partir da investigação de dois estudos de casos brasileiros, fazer recomendações para as etapas do PPI, que possam servir de referência para futuros projetos com metas rigorosas de desempenho ambiental. Em ambos os casos estudados, a investigação evidenciou que, apesar de vários elementos metodológicos de PPIs terem sido identificados, nem todos foram completamente ou mesmo parcialmente incorporados e o alcance das metas pré-definidas demandou esforço muito superior ao previamente estimado, com retrabalhos significativos. Por esta razão, são feitas recomendações para as etapas do PPI, que, se devidamente adequadas ao contexto e especificidades de cada situação, podem facilitar o processo e possibilitar o alcance de metas mais rigorosas de desempenho ambiental em futuros projetos.

Published: July 2016

This paper presents the design process of the Cañadón del Duraznillo Interpretation Center, located in the San Jorge Gulf in the Argentine Patagonia. This project was commissioned as a result of the creation of the Cañadón del Duraznillo Nature Reserve on the Atlantic coast of the Province of Santa Cruz, Argentina with the aim of preserving the biodiversity of the sea-coastal environment associated with the Patagonian Steppe. The Interpretation Center program includes a multi-use space meant for exhibitions, conferences and film projections; an administrative office, a house for a park ranger and a room for guest researchers. From the first morphological sketches to the selection of materials and working details, this design process was guided by simulations and studies of the environmental conditions specific to this particular case, as well as by guidelines and general recommendations appropriate for this climate and geographical location gathered from previous design experience and specialized literature. The studies performed included simulations of direct sunlight, solar radiation, wind, natural daylight and thermal characteristics of the building skin. The aim of this paper is to present a specific case of energy efficient and environmental low-impact architecture and to examine the methodological productivity of architectural design assisted by bio-climatic studies in the lab.

Aplicação da Análise do Ciclo de Vida na construção civil: discussão sobre alocação de impactos entre o aço e suas escórias
Authors: Saade Marcela Ruschi Mendes , Oliveira Betina Marques de , Silva Maristela Gomes da , Silva Vanessa Gomes da
Published: July 2016

O setor siderúrgico brasileiro é reconhecido pela disseminação de ações relacionadas com a reciclagem das escórias siderúrgicas. Há, porém, algumas dificuldades para avaliação da carga ambiental do produto e dos seus co-produtos, ambos formados no mesmo processo. A metodologia da Análise de Ciclo de Vida (LCA) constitui uma ferramenta holística para a distribuição de impactos ambientais entre produtos e co-produtos, possibilitando a alocação de impactos com base em diferentes critérios. Visando à compreensão da influência do critério de alocação de impactos sob os resultados da LCA, e, portanto, a uma visão mais consciente do processo de produção do aço e da reciclagem de suas escórias como matéria-prima para materiais de construção, o presente artigo objetiva a condução de uma LCA simplificada (streamlined LCA) do aço e das escórias siderúrgicas, com a realização de uma avaliação comparativa dos resultados decorrentes do uso de critérios de alocação de impactos com base na massa e no valor econômico; e, mais especificamente, visa analisar a diferença entre resultados obtidos a partir do uso de dados de inventários internacionais e de dados específicos de uma empresa siderúrgica brasileira. Para o tratamento e a interpretação dos resultados foi utilizada a plataforma de apoio SimaPro 7.1 e a avaliação dos impactos foi realizada por meio do EcoIndicator 99. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram a relevância da discussão quanto ao critério de alocação de impactos para avaliar a competitividade mercadológica das escórias siderúrgicas em relação às suas alternativas para a produção de materiais de construção, e, também, comprovaram a importância de utilização de dados específicos de uma determinada empresa, setor ou país para a construção de inventários representativos e para estimular a definição de indicadores e de metas de desempenho ambiental, que impulsionem o crescimento mais sustentável da indústria siderúrgica nacional.

O novo detalhe arquitetônico
Authors: Celani Gabriela , Duarte José Manuel Pinto
Published: July 2016

A ideia de fazer uma chamada específica da revista PARC com o tema do detalhamento arquitetônico surgiu a partir de dois acontecimentos no primeiro semestre de 2013. O primeiro foi o oferecimento da disciplina de Prototipagem e Fabricação Digital, em que se procurou explorar a relação entre o processo de detalhamento e o uso das novas tecnologias CAD/CAM, no programa de pós-graduação da Faculdade de Engenharia Civil, Arquitetura e Urbanismo (FEC) da Unicamp em Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade (ATC). O segundo acontecimento foi a realização do congresso Sustainable Intelligent Manufacturing (SIM), de 26 a 29 de junho, na Faculdade de Arquitectura (FA) da Universidade de Lisboa, reunindo designers, arquitetos e representantes da indústria que utiliza alta tecnologia. A chamada se estendeu por vários meses, e não foi nada fácil localizar pesquisadores que já tivessem algum material produzido sobre este assunto tão novo. Nossos pareceristas realizaram um trabalho criterioso para garantir que este número não fugisse do assunto proposto.

Reflexões sobre Jornalismo e História Oral: um campo com mais convergências do que dissonâncias
Authors: Martinez Monica
Published: July 2016

Este artigo reflete sobre as aproximações entre o jornalismo e a história oral, concentrando-se em três eixos. O primeiro é o mapeamento de um breve comparativo históricos dos métodos,  onde fica clara a importância das entrevistas radiofônicas para o desenvolvimento da história oral. O segundo aborda a noção da veracidade que permeia as áreas,  enfatizando que tanto formas mais aprofundadas do jornalismo − caso do Jornalismo Literário − e a história oral têm uma visão compreensiva e abrangente da realidade, por entenderem que os entrevistados, ao se basearem em sua memória, transitam numa esfera subjetiva. Finalmente, o terceiro eixo é dedicado à questão da autoria, que difere nas duas abordagens. Acima de tudo, sugere-se que se tratam de práticas complementares, cujo uso combinado supera lacunas em cada um dos métodos.
Wing Tip Drag Reduction at Nominal Take-Off Mach Number: An Approach to Local Active Flow Control with a Highly Robust Actuator System
Authors: Bauer Matthias , Grund Thomas , Nitsche Wolfgang , Ciobaca Vlad
Published: July 2016

This paper discusses wind tunnel test results aimed at advancing active flow control technology to increase the aerodynamic efficiency of an aircraft during take-off. A model of the outer section of a representative civil airliner wing was equipped with two-stage fluidic actuators between the slat edge and wing tip, where mechanical high-lift devices fail to integrate. The experiments were conducted at a nominal take-off Mach number of M = 0.2. At this incidence velocity, separation on the wing section, accompanied by increased drag, is triggered by the strong slat edge vortex at high angles of attack. On the basis of global force measurements and local static pressure data, the effect of pulsed blowing on the complex flow is evaluated, considering various momentum coefficients and spanwise distributions of the actuation effort. It is shown that through local intensification of forcing, a momentum coefficient of less than cμ = 0.6% suffices to offset the stall by 2.4°, increase the maximum lift by more than 10%, and reduce the drag by 37% compared to the uncontrolled flow.

Diffusion kurtosis imaging is a newly developed diffusion magnetic resonance imaging technique, which is becoming increasingly valuable in clinical practice. Although low-resolution sampling is commonly used to compensate the unsteadiness of kurtosis estimation, the influence of the sampling shape has not been investigated. In this study, by using two different acquisition protocols, isotropic and anisotropic sampling voxels were acquired and their influence on various white matter structures was observed. Fiber tracking, T-tests, and correlation analysis were used to quantify the difference between the anisotropic and isotropic sampling. A significant difference (p<0.01) was found in the fractional anisotropic level but not in kurtosis. The results presented here can provide a basis for higher resolution as well as higher quality kurtosis mapping, which may be of great significance in clinical examinations.
Key Factors of Emerging Luxury Brand Construction: Empirical Case Study of Korloff
Authors: Jiang Zhiqing ,   Graduate School of Commerce, Waseda University, Nagasawa Shin’ya
Published: July 2016

The luxury goods market has been expanding worldwide since the early 1990s. In the marketplace, there are new entrants (emerging luxury brands) reputed to be leading luxury brands, especially designer brands, which neither provide new luxury like Coach, nor are similar to traditional luxury brands, such as Louis Vuitton. In this research, an emerging luxury brand also refers to a brand that provides luxury goods in or above the intermediate level of the luxury goods products hierarchy and was established in or after the 1970s. The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework for emerging luxury brand construction. It (1) defines luxury and emerging luxury brand, (2) reviews the theoretical basis of luxury goods and the brand strategy of luxury goods, (3) frames the nexus between luxury brand attributes and brand image, (4) conducts consumer survey and data mining, and (5) discusses and concludes the research. This research includes qualitative research (a semi-structured interview) and quantitative research (exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis). The results show that the location and atmosphere of luxury stores, E-commerce, online ads and newsletters, origin, iconic products, symbols, and PR events have positive effects on consumers’ impression of emerging luxury brands.
Reappraising the Impact of Environmental Stresses on the Useful Life of Electronic Devices

Published: July 2016

The notion of lifespan of an electronic device (or system) is formulated in terms of a reinterpretation of the concept of electronic systems reliability (ESR) so that the impact of ‘physical’ geographic environmental stresses, notably: psychrometry and aridity, which are known to vary from one location to another could be effectively accounted for. The proposed formulation is based on a conscientious analysis of climatic data and its relationship with the longevity of electronic devices. To validate our proposal, we employed a veridical approach, wherein we compared the failure rate of a widely used electronic biomedical electrocardiogram (ECG) device based on standard environmental ‘conditions’ and reference values and then computed the lifespan of the same device based on our proposed configuration using the average climatic conditions prevalent in five countries that are geographically spread across the length of the Earth. Our proposed approach estimates a lifespan of only 2 years when the device is used in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as opposed to an average lifespan of 40 years when the same device is deployed for use under average environmental conditions prevalent in (the capital cities of) China, Japan, the USA, and Britain. Results from both aridity-based and psychrometry-based interpretations of ESR suggest that the ECG device has a lower lifespan when used in harsher arid environments which also infers a greater influence of physical geographic proximity on the smooth, reliable, and prolonged operation of electronic devices.
Factors That Determine Supination Strength Following Distal Biceps Repair
Authors: Schmidt Christopher C. , Brown Brandon T. , Qvick Lars M. , Stacowicz Rafal Z. , Latona Carmen R. , Miller Mark Carl
Published: July 2016

Background:

Supination weakness commonly occurs after a distal biceps repair. The goal of this study was to identify factors that could influence postoperative supination strength through a full arc of forearm rotation.

Methods:

Fifteen patients were prospectively studied and underwent a biceps repair using a posterior approach; this cohort was compared with a randomized selection of 17 anterior repair subjects. All patients underwent postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Quantitative MRI analysis determined the insertion site angle of the tendon and supinator fat content. Supination strength was measured in 3 forearm positions. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of all factors on supination strength.

Results:

The anterior group had a significantly higher nonanatomic insertion site angle of the tendon than the control group and the posterior group (p < 0.001). The posterior group had significantly greater supinator fat content (p ≤ 0.019) than both the control group and the anterior group. After repair, the posterior group had significantly greater supination strength than the anterior group (p = 0.027). Multiple regression analysis (r = 0.765) found that an anatomic reinsertion of the ruptured tendon (β = 1.159; p < 0.001), posterior approach (β = 0.484; p = 0.043), and limited supinator muscle fat content (β = 0.360; p = 0.013) were significant predictors of the restoration of supination strength in 60° of supination.

Conclusions:

Future directions for distal biceps tendon repair techniques should focus on restoring an anatomic reattachment site while limiting supinator damage.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Published: July 2016

The eye state detection is one of various task toward Brain Computer Interface system. The eye state can be read in brain signals. In this paper use EEG Eye State dataset (Rosler, 2013) from UCI Machine Learning Repository Database. Dataset is consisting of continuous 14 EEG measurements in 117 seconds. The eye states were marked as “1” or “0”. “1” indicates the eye-closed and “0” the eye-open state. The proposed schemes use Multi Layer Neural Network with Levenberg Marquardt optimization learning algorithm, as classification method.  Levenberg Marquardt method used to optimize the learning algorithm of neural network, because the standard algorithm has a weak convergence rate. It is need many iterations to have minimum error. Based on the analysis towards the experiment on the EEG dataset, it can be concluded that the proposed scheme can be implemented to detect the Eye State. The best accuracy gained from combination variable sigmoid function, data normalization and number of neurons are 31 (95.71%) for one hidden layer, and 98.912% for two hidden layers with number of neurons are 39 and 47 neurons and linear function.

Authors: Tarwidi Dede
Published: July 2016

In this paper, numerical analysis of small-caliber projectile during external ballistic is presented. This work is aimed to find safe location to install microelectromechanical system (MEMS) inside small-caliber projectile based on history and distribution of temperature. The MEMS technology is applied to increase performance of the projectile and it must be protected from damage due to high temperature during internal and external ballistic. Heat conduction equation in cylindrical domain is used to describe transient temperature of small-caliber projectile. Finite element method with the appropriate boundary conditions is adopted to solve the heat conduction equation and to obtain temperature distribution inside projectile. Numerical results show that heat transfer behavior of the projectile at any point is greatly affected by the value of thermal conductivity of material while the external convection does not significantly effect to the heat distribution. The maximum temperatures obtained from temperature history are below threshold value of MEMS damage that is 71 oC. The MEMS technology can be installed anywhere inside the small-caliber projectile except at near top and bottom of projectile surface.
Enhancement of photocatalytic degradation of furfural and acetophenone in water media using nano-TiO2-SiO2 deposited on cementitious materials
Authors: Soltan Sahar , Jafari Hoda , Afshar Shahrara , Zabihi Omid
Published: July 2016

In the present study, silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles were loaded to titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-particles by sol-gel method to make a high porosity photocatalyst nano-hybrid. These photocatalysts were synthesized using titanium tetrachloride and tetraethyl orthosilicate as titanium and silicon sources, respectively, and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope methods. Subsequently, the optimizations of the component and operation conditions were investigated. Then, nano-sized TiO2 and TiO2-SiO2 were supported on concrete bricks by the dip coating process. The photocatalytic activity of nano photocatalysts under UV irradiation was examined by studying the decomposition of aqueous solutions of furfural and acetophenone (10 mg/L) as model of organic pollutants to CO2 and H2O at room temperature. A decrease in the concentration of these pollutants was assayed by using UV-visible absorption, gas chromatography technique, and chemical oxygen demand. The removal of these pollutants from water using the concrete-supported photocatalysts under UV irradiation was performed with a greater efficiency, which does not require an additional separation stage to recover the catalyst. Therefore, it would be applicable to use in industrial wastewater treatment at room temperature and atmospheric pressure within the optimized pH range.

Authors: Shvanova Irina Sergeevna , Sheburakov Ilya Borisovich
Published: July 2016

Modern studies of the population structure in the Russian Federation show that the improvement of living conditions and the development of medicine causes the rapid growth of the share of people, who are older than working age. Nowadays, the number of such people in our country is about 21%. This trend leads to the fact that society sees the retirement age as the same socially significant period of life like all life until retirement. In this context, it is important to build an effective system of career management for older workers, taking into account their age and psychological characteristics, as well as the creation of conditions for the productive use of their experience and unique resources. These measures can be a catalyst for modernization and increase the number of qualified and experienced personnel in government.

Interconnection between melting, boiling and critical points
Authors: Haydarov Gennadiy Gasimovich , Haydarov Andrey Gennadyevich
Published: July 2016

We received theoretical formulas of the interconnection between melting, boiling and critical temperatures. Uniform physical representation of melting, boiling and evaporation processes was the basis for deriving the formula of interconnection between them. We use the concept of the material substance internal energy in terms of the molecules “unpacking” idea. The reference manual data on 85 substances from 13 to 855 degrees Kelvin confirms the theoretically derived formulas. We carried out the comparison of theoretical formulas and experimental data by their mean values. A simple ideal substance model with spherical molecules was considered as a model of substance molecule. The melting point is 1/3, and the boiling point ranges from 1/2 to 2/3 of the critical point for this model.
Ni-inhibited seedling growth in Zea mays (maize) involves alterations in associated biochemical processes
Authors: Negi Asha
Published: July 2016

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of Nickel (Ni) (5–50 µM) on seedling growth, dry weight, chlorophyll content and carotenoid content of Zea mays (maize) grown in petries after 96 h exposure to Ni.  The experiment was further extended to investigate the effect of Ni on water soluble protein content and the activities of protease and oxidoreductase enzymes (POD, PPO) in the roots of maize exposed to Ni. The results indicated that Ni inhibits both root and coleoptile length in test plant followed by reduction in chlorophyll and carotenoid contents. Decrease in the activity of proteases and protein content was also observed in test plant. The reduction was observed more in Z. mays roots as compared to coleoptile when treated with Ni. Further, significant reduction in chl b was noted more than chl a in the test plant. However, the increased activities of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were observed with increase in Ni concentrations in Z. mays roots.

Colaboração entre professores e autoeficácia docente: Que relações?
Authors: Silva José Castro , Silva Manuela Marques
Published: July 2016

Este artigo reporta os principais resultados de uma investigação que teve por objetivo estudar a influência da autoeficácia docente sobre a colaboração entre professores. O estudo envolveu 82 professores de escolas dos 2º e 3º ciclosde Portugal continental. O instrumento utilizado é constituído por três escalas.A primeira escala identifica as práticas de colaboração implementadas pelos professores, a segunda mede os interesses por colaboração e a última escala avalia as crenças de autoeficácia docente. Os principais resultados sugerem que os professores que se autopercecionam como mais eficientes estão mais disponíveis para colaborar, tendo-se verificado uma correlação entre níveis de autoeficácia docente mais elevados e o interesse dos professores em colaborar. A par da recetividade à colaboração, foi detetada uma associação entre a perceção da autoeficácia docente e o envolvimento dos professores em práticas de colaboração, concluindo-se sobre a tendência do envolvimento com práticas colaborativas aumentar junto dos docentes cuja autoavaliação da sua eficácia docente é mais elevada.
