Complex studies were conducted in eight-field grain-steam-crop and grain-steam-tilled crop rotations using the following terms: fertilizer systems, plant protection, basic tillage methods and plastic varieties. Scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in the forest-steppe of the Volga region, on a systemic basis, resource-saving technologies have been developed on the basis of fertile crop rotations in an ecologically balanced, biologized farming system. Agroecological principles of conservation and reproduction of gray forest soil fertility and obtaining a planned harvest of high quality. Experimental substantiation of the role of action and interaction of the main factors of saving technology, in increasing crop productivity of crop rotations, productivity of arable land and soil fertility. Agroeconomic evaluation of the resource-saving technology effectiveness. Crop rotations of leguminous crops and perennial legumes increase the productivity of arable land to 15-20%, provide a positive balance of humus (0.45-0.5 tons per hectare). Organomineralic fertilizer system reduces the need for mineral fertilizers by 2-3 times, ensures the receipt of planned high quality harvest and reproduction of soil fertility. The integrated plant protection system, using biological means and methods, provides a saving of plant protection products to 30-35%, raises productivity to 15-25%. Moisture-resource-saving mode of soil cultivation (mulching various deep loosening without turnover of beds) allows to save 25-35% of fuel and reduce the moisture loss to 35-40%. Complex application of these factors with the use of high-yielding plastic varieties makes resource-saving technology that increases the productivity of cultivated crops and the productivity of arable land by 1.5-2 times, the profitability of production by 30-50% and ensuring the reproduction of soil fertility.

From the Flat to the City: The Construction of Modern Greek Subjectivity
Authors: Issaias Platon
Published: January 2018

Athens is not built by large scale masterplans. Large public or private housing projects are nowhere to be found. Even an empirical observation of the city makes one thing immediately apparent: the city is defined by a construction model that is actualised by a singular building unit. The polykatoikia systems, is made of buildings, on average four to five storeys high, organized in irregular, fragmented plots in a patchwork of discontinuous grids, made of in situ, labour-intensive concrete frames, filled with bricks, plastered, something that ultimately looks like a stack of slabs with rather continuous balconies. The essay develops a critical reading of this model, presenting the way this domestic environment and distinct architectural typology mediated social conflict and economic development in post-war Greece. Architecture and urban management are presented here relating production with the role and the function of family and inheritance, the real estate market, law, and the construction industry.
Kekerasan Intelektual Dalam Islam (Telaah Terhadap Peristiwa Mihnah Mu’tazilah)
Authors: Faiz Fahruddin
Published: January 2018

Religious violence is a term that covers phenomena where religion, in its  diversity, is either the subject or object of violent behaviour. Religious violence is, specifically, violence that is motivated by or in reaction to religious precepts, texts, or doctrines. Islam has been associated with violence in a variety of contexts, including Jihads (holy wars), violent acts by Muslims against perceived enemies of Islam, violence against women ostensibly supported by Islam's tenets, references to violence in the Qur'an, and acts of terrorism motivated and/or justified by Islam. Muslims, including clerics and leaders have used Islamic ideas, concepts, texts, and themes to justify violence. One among popular religious violence in Islamic History is mihnah (inquisition). To socialize Mu’tazilah teaching, Al-Ma’mun and his successors managed Mihnah or inquisition, that is the dispersion of this belief and teachings forcefully and even violently. As the ruler, Al Ma’mun thought that it was his duty to maintain the purity of the religion and the  truth enforcement in the state community. As described in this article, Mihna is a kind of intellectual violence conducted by Mu’tazilah and Al-Ma’mun as a kind of coalition between religion and politics.

The convergence of the two theories between non-Marxist structuralist conflict theory and Talcott Parsons’ functionalism structuralist one contributes to an alternative model of social political theory used as conflict resolution and crime in Indonesia.The mentioned theories could not be optimally applied in terms of political government system in Indonesia.Without the convergence of the two political theories, it is urgent to seek for a particular political theory accommodated the pluralistic society in Indonesian condition. In this scene, the government should construct reconciliation strategy. Reconciliation is present if only the government appreciatively opens a discussion type of initiative in decision making. It leads to accommodate the peaceful type of approach to conflicts.It is urgent, in this regard, to solve the issues of economy, education, welfare, integration, and tribes conflicts. If the government has a good will, it bore to strong possibility in that conflicts and violence could be clearly anticipated in an immediate resolution.

Teologi Sosial; Keniscayaan Keberagamaan yang Islami Berbasis Kemanusiaan
Authors: Rakhman Alwi Bani
Published: January 2018

Islam yang sejatinya murni untuk mengEsakan Tuhan, Allah Swt, telah mengalami berbagai tahap ke'bumi'an yang konsekuensinya tercampur dengan berbagai persoalan kemanusiaan. Teologi dalam hal ini yang notabene sebagai pelopor wacana ketuhanan dan menjadi salah satu terma pokok dalam diskusi keagamaan Islam juga ikut mencuat pengaruhnya. Fenomena historis mengenai perdebatan teologis yang cukup sengit dalam diskursus agama Islam diantara Mutakallimi>n dalam diskusi kali ini mendapat sorotan tajam bagi kalangan cerdik cendekia Muslim modernis karena dipandang tidak mampu lagi menampung jawaban permasalahan yang bersifat antroposentris. Alasannya konkret, teologi yang selama ini dipelajari hanya berbicara mengenai masalah 'langit' (teosentris) dan hampir –jikalau tidak mengatakan sama sekali- tidak pernah 'turun ke bumi' (antroposentris). Karenanya, dimunculkan wacana baru yang menggagas konsep teologi yang selain berpijak pada nilai-nilai ketuhanan, namun juga mampu diaktualisasikan ke dalam ranah kemanusiaan, yaitu Teologi Sosial. Sehingga diharapkan ia mampu menjadi solusi atas problem kemanusiaan yang marak saat ini, semisal ketidakadilan, kekeraasan, terorisme dan sebagainya, khususnya yang termasuk dalam pelanggaran hak-hak asasi kemanusiaan.

As part of the science , the study of hadith needs to get development and innovation. Therefore, it is necessary for the reconstruction of critical studies chains and Matan. This article will discuss the possibility of reconstruction critical studies chains and Matan hadith. Sanad criticism (kritik sanad) needs to be developed on the use of data derived from the book in addition to the books of Rijal that conclusion on levels of integrity and intellectual person can be formulated more accurately and emphasize objectivity. Meanwhile, critical studies of matan also need to be developed by applying the hermeneutical method in understanding the text of the Prophet, in order to reject the mindset of tasâhul in the weakness of traditions as well as traditions that gave birth to the meaning of its as shâlih likulli zamân wa makân.[Sebagai bagian dari ilmu pengetahuan, studi hadis perlu mendapatkan pengembangan dan inovasi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan adanya rekonstruksi atas kajian kritik sanad dan matan. Artikel ini akan membahas kemungkinan rekonstruksi kriitk sanad dan matan hadis.  Kritik sanad perlu dikembangkan pada pemanfaatan data-data yang berasal dari kitab selain kitab-kitab rijâl agar konklusi atas kadar integritas dan intelektualitas seseorang bisa diformulasikan secara lebih akurat dan menekankan aspek objektivitas. Sementara itu, kritik matan juga perlu dikembangkan dengan menerapkan metode hermenetika dalam memahami teks Nabi, supaya bisa menolak pola pikir tasâhul dalam pendhaifan hadis sekaligus juga melahirkan makna hadis yang shâlih likulli zamân wa makân.]

PEREMPUAN YANG MEMBATALKAN SHALAT
Authors: Syaikhudin Syaikhudin
Published: January 2018

The hadith that states that “Women, donkeys and dogs break prayers” is a  controversial one. Because to many feminine thinkers, it subordinates women  to the same level as those two other furry animals, and thus contradictory to universal values of humanity and equality and should therefore be rejected. What is also interesting to note is that this was also questioned in the time of the prophet by Aisyah, who claimed that this tradition insulted women and likened them to bad beasts. Such critical objection is controversial and vital, since Aisyah was one of the people close to the prophet and herself a prominent historical actor of the time.
KEKERASAN TERHADAP PEREMPUAN DALAM RELASI PERNIKAHAN SIRRI
Authors: Saeroni Saeroni , Andari Indiah Wahyu
Published: January 2018

This paper discusses the dynamics of violence against women in informal marital  relations based on the experience and institutional data of RifkaAnnisa Yogyakarta. This paper will discuss the characteristics of victims and perpetrators in informal marriages, the dynamics of violence experienced by victims and the factors behind informal marriages. This research will affirm that all women who are victims of violence in informal and polygamous marriages experience physical, sexual, economic and emotional violence. The myth that second wives or young wives are pampered compared to first wives is disproved here. Even though it may happen occasionally, they are still at risk of economic violence. The most common form of economic violence are in the forms of abandonment or forcing their wives to work. Informal marriage and polygamous marriages continue to happen due to several conducive factors, among them: the low legal awareness of victims and lack of legal sanctions for perpetrators of informal marriages, the view that religion opens the possibility for informal marriages, the social paradigm which strengthens the superiority of men over women, family support and society’s permissiveness to informal marriages and the ongoing violence against women.

Underground quarries their possible use for mining tourism purposes – Slovak perspectives on the example of the underground stone quarry of Veľká Stráň
Authors: Rybár Pavol , Hronček Pavel , Domaracká Lucia , Tometzová Dana , Jesenský Miloš
Published: January 2018

In the first part of the study, we have pointed out that mining tourism is a new, undervalued and less used a form of tourism, geotourism. We present its definition and present its specifics that make it unique on such a scale - by which it can be defined as a separate form of tourism. Mining tourism can be thought to contain virtually all objects, phenomena and processes, which, from prehistory till today, were related to one of the oldest human activities - mining and their subsequent access to and inclusion in tourism. In the world, underground quarries are currently used for various purposes, such as environmental, cultural centers, concert halls, wineries, churches, warehouses, and tourist destinations.In the second part of the study, we deal with mining tourism on the example of the most extensive underground stone quarry in Slovakia. Quarry, Veľká Stráň currently serves as the goal of unorganized ‘mining‘ natural tourism as part of a geological site protected as a nature reserve. However, underground stone has the potential to become the destination of organized mining tourism not only for school educational excursions but also for the general public.
Sensitivity Study of Different RegCM4.4 Model Set-Ups – Recent Results from the TVRegCM Experiment
Authors: Chervenkov Hristo , Ivanov Vladimir , Gadzhev Georgi , Ganev Kostadin
Published: January 2018

The oncoming climate changes will exert influence on the ecosystems, on all branches of the international economy, and on the quality of life. Global Circulation Models (GCMs) are the most widespread and successful tools employed for both numerical weather forecast and climate research since the 1980s. However, growing demands on accurate and reliable information on regional and sub-regional scale are not directly met by relatively coarse resolution global models, mainly due to the excessive costs affiliated with the use of the model in very high resolution. Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are important instruments used for downscaling climate simulations from GCMs. Main aim of the numerical experiment Tuning an Validation of Regional Climate Model (RegCM-TVRegCM) is to quantify the impact of some tunable factors in the RegCM set-up on the model outputs. Thus, on the first stage of the study, the skill of 20 different model configurations in representing the basic spatial and temporal patterns of the Southeast European (SE) climate for the period 1999-2009, is evaluated. Based on these outcomes, the present work is dedicated on more detailed inspection of the model set-ups with recognizable better performance. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the time series of the temperature and precipitation of the 6 most promising model set-ups and the E-OBS on monthly basis are calculated. The main conclusion is that this test does not reveal single one model set-up that definitely over performs the other considered ones.

Published: January 2018

Hochschule Wismar, Germany, has been implementing Master programmes for international students since 1992. However, for most European universities, it is a rather new phenomenon. The purpose of the work is to analyse scientific literature on European higher education programmes for international students and to outline a theoretical framework of European higher education programmes for international students underpinning elaboration of new research question on master programmes for international engineering students. The research methodology comprises the study of the meaning of the key concepts of “framework”, “theoretical framework” and “international students”. Moreover, the logical chain of analysis is shown: theoretical framework → empirical study within a multicultural environment → conclusions. The case study research is applied. The empirical study was carried out at Hochschule Wismar, Germany in March 2017. Semi-structured interview served as the basis for data collection. The empirical findings allow complementing the elaborated theoretical framework consisting of the concepts on reasons for, language and impact of Masetr programme for international students with such a concept as European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Directions of further research are proposed. The novel contribution of the paper is the newly formulated research question on master programmes for international students.

The PEESA II project promotes the exchange between German and Southern Africa’s students in order to increase the number of highly qualified experts in the field of renewable energies and the quality of curricula developed in the previous PEESA project. However, the students are from different cultures and with different educational backgrounds. The guiding research question is as follows: How to organize the exchange between German and Southern Africa’s students who are from different cultures and with different educational backgrounds? The purpose of the work is to work out the organizational model of intercultural and interdisciplinary students’ exchange underpinning analysis of the students’ evaluation of their participation in an intercultural and interdisciplinary team. The research methodology comprises the study of the meaning of the key concepts of “culture”, “intercultural” and “interdisciplinary”. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of renewable energies. Explorative study was carried out during the PEESA II Summer School in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa, in 2017. The empirical findings indicate that the students evaluation of their participation in an intercultural and interdisciplinary team is positive. Directions of further research are proposed. The novel contribution of the paper is the newly formulated hypothesis.

Engineering creativity support for future research and development
Authors: Dușe Dan Maniu , Dușe Carmen Sonia
Published: January 2018

The human abilities to use nature’s materials and force to their benefit, by means of engineering applications has made the human development possible. Multiple factors have influenced the human development, sometimes accelerating it, other times slowing it down to annulation. Although it is known and accepted that creativity’s role is essential in engineering performances, the neglecting of creativity in engineering education is not understood. The graduates from Anglo-Saxon countries and Europe reduced creative potential and the lack of necessary abilities concerning the solving of the companies’ problems have been emphasized by specialists in education and governmental reports reinforces the need to creativity in engineering education. The diagram of engineering education presented in the paper defines in conceptual terms the way engineering study programs can be developed with an adequate creative composition. The evaluation of the students’ creativity level at the master and doctoral levels of engineering programs belonging to two European universities has shown the need for improving creativity solutions. The development of creative abilities can be realized by formulating creative objectives which are specific to learning: creative evaluating topics, open projects, answering topics, originality of solutions and the use of projects method.
An Evaluation Model of Colleges Pioneering Education Quality Based on Extension Theory
Authors: Xuehui Wang
Published: January 2018

Based on matter-element and extension set theories, a novel evaluation method of colleges pioneering education quality is proposed. According to the actual situation of the school, the model of matter-element for pioneering education is established on the ideal of multi-factor optimization integration; pioneering education quality is evaluated by qualitative means based on the matterelement theory and quantitative means based on dependent function. Proposed method not only formally describes the status of the various effecting factors of pioneering education, but also gives an accurate evaluation of the pioneering education quality. In order to verify the validity and feasibility of proposed method, a college’ pioneering education is assessed as example.
Crime and Punishment in pre-Hispanic Nahua City-States Tenochtitlan and Texcoco
Authors: Vyšný Peter
Published: January 2018

The article focuses on the delinquency existing in pre-Hispanic Tenochtitlan and Texcoco as a particular type of human behavior, having many concrete forms that the wider society perceived (and condemned) through certain concepts and that it sought to both prevent and suppress. The first part of the article deals with the reflections and forms of delinquency existing in Tenochtitlan and Texcoco. In the second part of the article the mechanisms of prevention and repression of delinquency are examined. Although the pre- Hispanic society existing in Tenochtitlan and Texcoco can be considered as a so-called shame culture, in the conclusion of the article it is suggested that it could be a shame culture, which over time has changed, to a certain extent, to a so-called guilt culture.

Published: January 2018

Aim: To isolate the spermicidal constituents of Sacoglottis gabonensis. Materials and methods: The ethanolic extract with partitioned fractions of Sacoglottis gabonensis stem bark were subjected to sperm immobilization assay. The most active EtOAc fraction was further purifi ed by column and Semi-Preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography to give compounds which were characterized by spectroscopic methods (UV, LC/MS, and NMR). The compound(s) was also tested for sperm immobilization activity. Results: The ethanolic extract showed 100% signifi cant (p < 0.05) sperm immobilization activity at a concentration of 30 mg/mL at 20 s compared to both negative and positive controls. The most active ethyl acetate fraction yielded methyl 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate, eriodictyol and bergenin. Bergenin had 100% sperm immobilization activity at 20 mg/mL in 60 s which was signifi cant (p < 0.05) also when compared to the positive and negative control while methyl 3,5-dihydroxy- 4-methoxybenzoate, eriodictyol were not active. Conclusion: The active spermicidal constituent in Sacoglottis gabonensis stem bark extract is bergenin. However, methyl 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate and eriodictyol showed no activity. This plant is known for its aphrodisiac action; hence, caution may have to be exercised in its use because of its spermicidal eff ect.
Caskets Inside Out. Revisiting the Classification of ‘Siculo-Arabic’ Ivories
Authors: Armando Silvia
Published: January 2018

The paper reconsiders previous attempts to classify ‘Siculo-Arabic’ ivories in order to understand if and how such taxonomies correspond to concrete modes of production or workshops. The study of technical details enables the definition of processes of making. Material and visual aspects are probed through a systematic comparison based on the close study of many artefacts, thereby identifying consistent clusters that may correspond to one or more related workshop, as well as ruling out examples which cannot be directly associated with the main groups. Moreover, the traditional attribution to Southern Italy is reconsidered for some objects. The recovery of reused paper documents written in Arabic beneath the original linings of some of the caskets opens new paths of research, calling for future interdisciplinary cooperation, which may finally be able to answer longstanding questions about when and where these objects were originally made.

The wooden painted ceiling of the Sala Magna of the Palazzo Chiaromonte-Steri in Palermo is an outstanding monument for its structure as well as for its articulated visual programme. In the present study, I aim to analyze three specially debated aspects of it. Firstly, I will question the appropriateness of using the Spanish term “Mudéjar” for describing its structure and decoration. Secondly, I will highlight existing analogies between Norman ceilings in Sicily and the one of the Sala Magna in Palermo. Finally, I will explore the political meaning of the masterpiece by following the clues of some inscriptions.
MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE: Atypical femoral fractures: risks and benefits of long-term treatment of osteoporosis with anti-resorptive therapy
Authors: Adler Robert A
Published: January 2018

Modern osteoporosis treatment began in the mid-1990s with the approval of amino-bisphosphonates, anti-resorptive agents that have been shown to decrease osteoporotic fracture risk by about half. In 2005, the first cases of atypical femoral fractures (AFF), occurring in the shaft of the femur, were reported. Since then, more cases have been found, leading to great concern among patients and a dramatic decrease in bisphosphonate prescribing. The pathogenesis and incidence of AFF are reviewed herein. Management and an approach to prevention or early detection of AFF are also provided. Denosumab, a more recently approved anti-resorptive medication has also been associated with AFF. Long-term management of osteoporosis and prevention of fracture are challenging in light of this serious but uncommon side effect, yet with an aging population osteoporotic fracture is destined to increase in frequency.

In this paper is described the implementation of the frequency-dependent line model (FD-Line) in a real-time digital power system simulator. The main goal with such development is to describe a general procedure to incorporate new realistic models of power system components in modern real-time simulators based on the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). In this procedure are described, firstly, the steps to obtain the time domain solution of the differential equations that models the electromagnetic behavior in multi-phase transmission lines with frequency dependent parameters. After, the algorithmic solution of the FD-Line model is implemented in Simulink environment, through an S-function programmed in C language, for running off-line simulations of electromagnetic transients. This implementation allows the free assembling of the FD Line model with any element of the Power System Blockset library and also, it can be used to build any network topology. The main advantage of having a power network built in Simulink is that can be executed in real-time by means of the commercial eMEGAsim simulator. Finally, several simulation cases are presented to validate the accuracy and the real-time performance of the FD-Line model.

Published: January 2018

Objetivos La adquisición natural de habilidades motoras en la infancia puede afectarse por una edad gestacional menor que 40 semanas. La detección temprana favorece el manejo oportuno y la prevención de secuelas, por esto, es necesario contar con una herramienta confiable para la evaluación del desarrollo motor en los niños prematuros.Una herramienta útil para evaluar el neurodesarrollo es el diagnóstico funcional según el método de Munich, el cual evalúa la ontogenia durante el primer año de vida en los niños. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la correlación entre la valoración del desarrollo según el método de Munich y la evaluación clínica con el fin de validar la utilidad de este método en pacientes prematuros.Métodos Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo en el cual se evaluaron las historias clínicas de 165 niños con edad corregida entre 0 y 12 meses de edad y antecedentes de edad gestacional menor que 40 semanas. A todos los niños se les aplicó el método durante la consulta de seguimiento realizada en el Instituto Materno Infantil (IMI) de Bogotá entre 2008 y 2011.Resultados Se evidenció una alta correlación entre la edad corregida y la edad motora obtenida a partir del diagnóstico funcional del desarrollo según el método de Munich.Conclusiones La alta correlación entre cada hito evaluado y la edad corregida de los prematuros demuestra que el método de Múnich, además de ser una prueba corta y de fácil aplicación, es útil para la evaluación del desarrollo motor en niños prematuros.

El presente es un estudio reflexivo sobre las instituciones de larga permanencia para adultos mayores. Con base en la carga contextual que se genera alrededor del proceso de institucionalización de estas personas, el cual implica una serie de cambios en su vida cotidiana, este estudio tiene como objetivo hacer una reflexión sobre la pertinencia de estos lugares como alternativa para acoger adultos mayores brasileños. En primer lugar, se hace un análisis sobre el proceso de envejecimiento de la población, seguido de un breve recuento histórico de las instituciones de larga permanencia, para finalizar con una descripción sobre el proceso de institucionalización. Si bien hay definiciones acerca de las funciones y obligaciones de este tipo de instituciones, los aspectos negativos que influyen en las experiencias de las personas mayores ya institucionalizadas son evidentes. En este sentido, es necesario reestructurar ese ambiente que se convierte en el diario vivir de estas personas, el cual tiene una demanda cada vez mayor. El proceso de institucionalización y las experiencias de las personas mayores dentro de la institución son elementos de estudio fundamentales para comprender a profundidad la realidad intrínseca de esta población
A Política de Assistência Social brasileira e a ameaça temerária aos direitos sociais / The Brazilian Social Assistance Policy and the reckless threat to social rights
Authors: Veroneze Renato Tadeu
Published: January 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é oferecer subsídios para a compreensão da Assistência Social brasileira enquanto política pública de proteção social, apresentando os marcos históricos para a implementação do Sistema Único de Assistência Social, sinalizando a passagem de uma prática arcaica, tradicional e conservadora, para a prática inovadora no campo do direito e no fortalecimento de um sistema de proteção social descentralizada, participativa e de proteção não-contributiva. Com o advento da Constituição Federal de 1988 foi instituído oficialmente o sistema de seguridade social, configurado em um tripé entre a Saúde, a Previdência Social e a Assistência Social, definida como uma política de proteção social inclusiva e não-contributiva. Ressaltamos, também, a importância da Assistência Social nos marcos da crise política que atinge o Brasil nos últimos anos, que prevê o desmantelamento das políticas públicas e direitos sociais no governo de Michel Temer.

Ao final, sintetiza contribuições de Paulo Freire e Martin Buber para uma educação voltada para a formação de comunidade e que seja crítica, criativa, dialógica. Nas considerações finais, fica evidenciada a atualidade de Freire e Buber, seu legado teórico para ações práticas e políticas.
TRABAJO DOCENTE, ESCOLARIZACIÓN Y DESIGUALDADES SOCIALES: CONTRIBUCIONES Y DEBATES EN LA INVESTIGACIÓN EDUCATIVA EN ARGENTINA
Authors: Vassiliades Alejandro
Published: January 2018

RESUMEN: Este artículo se propone realizar un análisis crítico y sistemático de la producción científica acerca de los vínculos entre trabajo docente, escolarización y desigualdades sociales en el período 1985-2015 en Argentina, con el objeto de examinar los principales debates conceptuales y teórico-metodológicos, como así también sus contribuciones para las discusiones actuales en el campo de la educación. Para ello, este trabajo reconstruye tres núcleos de debate: las contribuciones de la reformulación de los abordajes estructurales y del redireccionamiento de la mirada hacia los sujetos y las instituciones escolares; las discusiones surgidas de la incorporación de preocupaciones centradas en la heterogeneidad y el dinamismo de las identidades sociales; y los debates respecto del lugar de los contextos de pobreza en las instancias de formación y trabajo docente, ligados nuevas aproximaciones a los vínculos entre docencia, escolarización y desigualdad.

Published: January 2018

Resumo: Este artigo analisa crenças de professores da educação básica sobre reprovação escolar. Para tanto, discute possíveis relações entre crenças sobre reprovação, crenças acerca de princípios de justiça e avaliação e o conhecimento de professores a respeito de resultados de pesquisas sobre efeitos da reprovação. Explicita características do perfil dos professores que podem influenciar sua adesão à reprovação. A relação entre as crenças e entre estas e o conhecimento de pesquisas foi analisada por meio de correlação e a identificação das características associadas à adesão à reprovação foi feita com análise de regressão. Foram usados dados primários de quase 5,5 mil professores que lecionam Língua Portuguesa. Conclui-se que professores que aderem à reprovação tendem a aderir ao princípio de justiça meritocrático e à avaliação normativa. Ter maior tempo de experiência docente, não lecionar nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, maior conhecimento de pesquisas sobre o tema e mestrado e doutorado caracterizam os professores que concordam menos com a reprovação.
CLINICAL FIGURES OF UGLINESS UP AGAINST METAPSYCHOLOGY
Authors: Birman Joel , Cernat Cristina
Published: January 2018

Abstract: In this article we discuss the metapsychological aspect of the psychoanalytic research on the clinical figures of ugliness. If the problem of ugliness is often associated with metaphysics or social norms, we wish to emphasise that the feeling of being ugly affects any psychic functioning. The discrimination encountered by the ugly in any social unrest, is unconsciously linked to anxiety representations, which disturb ego familiarity, by revealing the strangewithin us. The aesthetic ambivalence that every subject feels towards himself, accompanied by the tension between the ego ideal and the ideal ego, shows the metapsychological character of such a problem.
