Published: May 2019

A jornada de trabalho de 24 horas consecutivas é uma realidade na atividade de enfermagem. A demanda por melhores salários para a conquista de uma vida digna, muitas vezes, faz com que o profissional de enfermagem enfrente jornadas extensa e intensa de trabalho e em turnos noturnos. Porém, tal rotina pode implicar em prejuízo ao profissional, no que tange ao tempo de sono/repouso e exposição a maiores riscos de acidentes de trabalho devido ao cansaço. Adotou-se a teoria da motivação de Maslow para refletir sobre o que estimula o profissional de enfermagem a enfrentar jornadas de 24 horas consecutivas de trabalho, considerando que para atender às necessidades de vida, estima e autorrealização as longas jornadas de trabalho afetam negativamente o sistema fisiológico e psicossocial do profissional, colocando em risco as necessidades de sono/repouso e social/familiar. Dessa forma, este artigo de reflexão tem por objetivo fomentar a temática discutindo os impactos da jornada de trabalho da enfermagem na saúde e segurança do profissional e do paciente. Sugerem-se pausas ou reduzidas jornadas de trabalho para um repouso fisiológico adequado e minimização dos riscos na saúde do profissional, além de maior segurança para o paciente.

Published: May 2019

Trata-se de um ensaio teórico-reflexivo com objetivo de analisar a produção do cuidado em saúde na Atenção Primária à Saúde na perspectiva teórico-filosófica de Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari e Michael Foucault, fruto da necessidade de aprofundamento na temática sobre a perspectiva teórico-filosófica. Partindo da compreensão do cuidado como um ato prescritivo e disciplinar, normatizado pelas profissões, o estudo ressalta a compreensão do cuidado como um encontro intersubjetivo e que gera novas possibilidades no trabalho em saúde, destacando ainda a atenção primária à saúde como palco reconhecido de produção subjetiva do cuidado. Assim, considerando as perspectivas filosóficas do estudo, observou-se que há a concepção de cuidado apenas do ponto de vista técnico, prescritivo e normativo seguindo a lógica do modelo que estamos doutrinados a seguir, fruto de processos não mais adequados de formação e atravessados pelo modelo capitalista que vivenciamos. Busca-se ressignificação das práticas do cuidado em saúde observando seu processo intersubjetivo e potente no que tange à criação de novos mundos, considerando a liberdade das forças que atravessam esse processo de liberdade e da autonomia do sujeito.

O sistema de referência e contrarreferência é um dos pontos estratégicos para consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde, a fim de garantir a integralidade da assistência. Estudo qualitativo respeitando os passos propostos pelo referencial da fenomenologia da percepção, com base na obra de Merleau- Ponty e Martins, abrangendo três momentos: a descrição, a redução e a compreensão. Objetivou apreender a percepção da equipe multiprofissional de saúde de um serviço de referência e desvelar os desafios no processo de referenciamento. Participaram quinze profissionais atuantes no ambulatório de um hospital universitário de nível terciário, dentre eles: enfermeiros, psicólogos, nutricionistas, fonoaudiólogo e médicos. A análise dos dados apontou a necessidade de aprimorar o processo de referenciamento evidenciando dificuldades na sua efetivação, fortemente relacionadas a: excesso de demanda, falta de tempo do profissional, insuficiência de serviço de média complexidade. A fragilidade de comunicação entre os níveis de atenção provoca uma fragmentação da assistência, com consequente diminuição na resolução dos problemas. Paralelamente, a contrarreferência ocorre quando há excesso de demanda e escassez de vagas no serviço terciário. Conclui-se que a não realização da contrarreferência alimenta falhas no sistema de saúde, prejudicando a integralidade da atenção. A educação permanente da equipe multiprofissional de saúde é necessária para a melhoria do processo.

Authors: Ding Yun Long , Ju Dong Ying
Published: May 2019

In this study, magnesium alloy AZ31 was successfully welded with aluminum alloy 6061 by diffusion bonding method. In addition, annealing process was applied to refine micro-structure and improve mechanical property. Microstructure and elemental distribution of interface were investigated with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA). Furthermore, experiments on diffusion bonded specimens with the usage of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) were carried out. At last, tensile strength was measured. It can be obtained that the width of diffusion layers increase with the increasing annealing temperatures. Elemental distribution of specimens with annealing were more uniform than that without annealing. The intermetallic compounds in diffusion layers are Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17, their crystal structure are respectively face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc). What’s more, tensile strength turns to be strongest after annealing at 250°C.

This study proposed the new method of preparing Mg-based composite by mixed powder Ni and Ti onto the surface of pure Mg ingot. The prepared method caused that hydrogen absorbing phase Mg2Ni and catalytic phase NiTi generated and distributed regularly. The pure Mg ingot as the center and the powder Ni and Ti as cladding material on the surface were formed and sintered, in which the temperature range of generated alloy phase Mg2Ni and NiTi was confirmed at first; according to the temperature range, the size of Mg2Ni and NiTi crystal grains at 650°C and 850°C were analyzed and compared, respectively; The size of Mg2Ni alloy phase at the surface and center was calculated by comparing the atomic radius of Ni, Ti to confirm that Mg2Ni distributed on the surface due to the atom Ti replaced the atom Ni in Mg2Ni to generate the alloy phase NiTi; the capacity of the hydrogen desorption reached 4wt% within 5min. The disadvantages that easy to chalking and difficult to activate in the conventional method were avoided and achieved the application of the multilayer composite material in hydrogen storage field.

Published: May 2019

The bond coat plays an important role in the failure of the thermal barrier coating (TBC) system used for gas turbines [1,2]. In this research, the CoNiCrAlY coated Ni-base superalloy specimens were used for developing evaluation method for interfacial damage in the coat. Samples were exposed at 1000°C and 1100°C for up to 1000 hours. The morphology and residual stress in the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer on the CoNiCrAlY coating were characterized by microscopic observation and luminescence spectroscope, respectively. The microstructure and damage o\n both the coating surfaces and the cross sections were observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. According to the results, the low pressure plasma sprayed CoNiCrAlY coating (LPPS) showed the thinnest TGO layer and lowest residual stress.Residual stress decreased with an increase in exposure time, depending on the morphology of TGO layer. The effects of thermal spraying methods on the oxidation of yttrium in TGO layer and BC layer and its influence on interfacial damage were discussed.
Level set evolution with intensity prior knowledge for multiple sclerosis lesion segmentation
Authors: Gong Zhaoxuan , Guo Wei , Zhu Zhenyu , Guo Jia , Li Wei , Zhang Guodong
Published: May 2019

Background and Objectives:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion segmentation is important in estimating the progress of the disease and measuring the impact of new clinical treatments. Manual lesion delineation for the segmentation of lesions is time-consuming and suffers from observer variability. Therefore, a fully automated MS lesion segmentation method is considerable important in clinical practice.

Subjects and Methods:

In this study, we present a multilabel fusion embedded level set method for white matter lesion segmentation from MS patient images. Specifically, we focus on the validation of the variational level set method. Lesion segmentation is achieved by extending the level set contour which consists of an intensity-constrained term, an image data term, and a regularization term.

Results:

To compare the performance of our method with other state-of-the-art methods, we evaluated the methods with 25 magnetic resonance imaging datasets of MS patients. The dice score reaches an average of 0.55 for the proposed method. The sensitivity value and specificity value reach an average of 0.89 and 0.14, respectively.

Conclusions:

Experimental results demonstrate that our method is robust to parameter setting and outperforms other methods. The intensity-constrained term plays a key role in improving the segmentation accuracy. The experimental results show that our approach is effective and robust for lesion segmentation, which might simplify the quantification of lesions in basic research and even clinical trials.
One year of aerosol refractive index measurement from a coastal
Antarctic site
Authors: Jurányi Zsófia , Weller Rolf
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Climate change model evaluations need a better understanding of the atmo- spheric aerosols' optical properties and with this of the refractive index (RI) of atmospheric aerosols as well. Due to the remoteness of Antarctica only a very few data on the refractive index exists from there. In this paper we calculate the real refractive index of atmospheric aerosols from number size distribution measurements at a coastal Antarctic measurement site. In our calculations we used the overlapping size range (120–340 nm) of a scanning mobility sizer (SMPS), which sizes the particles by their electrical mobility, and a laser aerosol spectrometer (LAS), which sizes the particles by their optical scattering signal. Based on almost a complete year of measurement and 2439 measurement points, the average effective refractive index (RIeff) turned out to be 1.44. This is in a good agreement with the RI value of 1.47 which we derived from the chemical composition filter measurements. At our measurement site the aerosol has a very characteristic seasonal pattern in both number concentration and chemical composition. Despite this, we could not identify any significant sea- sonal variability in the effective refractive index, the monthly averages remain within the range of 1.40–1.50. Two austral winter months June and September has a slightly higher average values (1.50 and 1.47). We could not identify any in uence of the occurring wind direction on the retrieved RIeff either. For the few examples of north winds coming from the Neumayer station (occurs very rarely, this is the reason why the measurement site was built to the south), we don't see different values than for the other wind directions. During an artificial, high contamination episode, when diesel engines were operated right next to the measurement site, we had an hour of constant conditions such that one RI fit was possible. This fit resulted in an unusual high RI of 1.59, which is most probably due to the high black carbon content of the diesel engine emission. Therefore, we also assume that even during northerly wind directions we did not have significant in uence from the Neumayer station. During a shorter period between 2017 December and 2018 January we used the time averaged LAS and SMPS number size distributions to get some in- formation on the size dependency of the refractive index. The RI was fit in 5 different particle size ranges, and we have found a slight decrease of the re- fractive index with the particle size from 1.47 in the 116–168 nm to 1.37 in the 346–478 nm range.

Abstract. Emission estimates of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) and
the meteorological factors affecting them are investigated over Sacramento,
California, using an aircraft equipped with a cavity ring-down greenhouse
gas sensor as part of the Alpha Jet Atmospheric eXperiment (AJAX) project.
To better constrain the emission fluxes, we designed flights in a
cylindrical pattern and computed the emission fluxes from two flights using
a kriging method and Gauss's divergence theorem. Differences in wind treatment and assumptions about background
concentrations affect the emission estimates by a factor of 1.5 to 7. The
uncertainty is also impacted by meteorological conditions and distance from
the emission sources. The vertical layer averaging affects the flux
estimate, but the choice of raw wind or mass-balanced wind is more important
than the thickness of the vertical averaging for mass-balanced wind for both
urban and local scales. The importance of vertical mass transfer for flux estimates is examined, and
the difference in the total emission estimate with and without vertical mass
transfer is found to be small, especially at the local scale. The total flux
estimates accounting for the entire circumference are larger than those
based solely on measurements made in the downwind region. This indicates
that a closed-shape flight profile can better contain total emissions
relative to a one-sided curtain flight because most cities have more than
one point source and wind direction can change with time and altitude. To
reduce the uncertainty of the emission estimate, it is important that the
sampling strategy account not only for known source locations but also
possible unidentified sources around the city. Our results highlight that
aircraft-based measurements using a closed-shape flight pattern are an
efficient and useful strategy for identifying emission sources and
estimating local- and city-scale greenhouse gas emission fluxes.
Communicating climate change in a “post-factual” society: lessons learned from the Pole to Paris campaign
Authors: Knudsen Erlend M. , de Bolsée Oria J.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The politicization of and societal debate on climate
change science have increased over the last decades. Here, the authors argue
that the role of climate scientists in our society needs to adapt in
accordance with this development. We share our experiences from the
awareness campaign Pole to Paris, which engaged non-academic audiences on
climate change issues on the roads from the polar regions to Paris and
through conventional and social media. By running and cycling across a third
of the globe, the scientists behind the initiative established connections
on the audiences' terms. Propitiously for other outreach efforts, the
exertions were not in themselves the most attractive; among our social media
followers, the messages of climate change science and action were more
favourable, as measured by video statistics and a follower survey.
Communicating climate action in itself challenges our positions as
scientists, and here we discuss the impact such messages have on our
credibility as researchers. Based on these reflections, as well as those
from other science communication initiatives, we suggest a way forward for
climate scientists in the post-factual society, who should be better trained
in interaction with non-academic audiences and pseudoscepticism.

Evaluating continuous and autonomous snow water equivalent measurements by a cosmic ray sensor on a Swiss glacier
Authors: Gugerli Rebecca , Salzmann Nadine , Huss Matthias , Desilets Darin
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements are crucial in many research fields. Yet accurate measurements at a high temporal resolution are difficult to obtain in high mountain regions. With a cosmic ray sensor (CRS), SWE can be directly derived from neutron counts. In this study, we present the analyses of temporally continuous SWE measurements by a CRS on a Swiss glacier (Glacier de la Plaine Morte) over two winter seasons (2016/17 and 2017/18), which were markedly different in terms of amount and timing of snow accumulation. By combining the SWE values with snow depth measurements, we calculate the daily mean density of the snowpack. The autonomous measurements overestimate SWE by +2 % ± 12 % compared to manual field observations (snow pits). Snow depth and mean density agree with manual in situ measurements with a standard deviation of ±6 % and ±8 %, respectively. In general, the cosmic ray sensor measured with high reliability during these two winter seasons and is, thus, considered an effective method to measure SWE at remote high alpine sites. We use the daily observations to break down the winter season into days either dominated by accumulation (solid precipitation, snow drift), ablation (snow drift, melt) or snow densification. The prevailing meteorological conditions of these periods are clearly distinct for each of the classified processes. Moreover, we compare daily SWE amounts to precipitation sums from three nearby weather stations located at lower elevations, and to a gridded precipitation dataset. We determine the best-possible scaling factor for these precipitation estimates in order to reproduce the measured accumulation on the glacier. Using only one scaling factor for the whole time series, we find a mean absolute error of less than 8 cm w.e. for the reproduced snow accumulation. By applying temperature-specific scaling factors, this mean absolute error can be reduced to less than 6 cm w.e. for all stations.
Hacia una visión holística del discurso turístico
Authors: Chierichetti Luisa , Garofalo Giovanni , Mapelli Giovanna
Published: May 2019

En esta introducción se aboga por una visión holística de la comunicación turística, basada en los principios vertebradores de la ecología lingüística preconizada por Einar Haugen (1972). En concreto, se analiza la íntima correlación entre la lengua del turismo y el medio ambiente, sociológico y psicológico, en el que se plasman y se vehiculan los mensajes turísticos. Siguiendo a Mark Garner (2005), a partir de los cuatro rasgos comunes de todo pensamiento ecológico (que estudia fenómenos holísticos, dinámicos, interactivos y localizados), se evidencian algunas perspectivas significativas desde las cuales ‘se moldean’ discursivamente el espacio urbano, el emocional o el digital.

Published: May 2019

Este trabajo se centra en la adquisición del pretérito indefinido y el pretérito imperfecto del español por aprendices chinos. A partir de investigaciones anteriores, predecimos que las diferencias del sistema aspectual entre el chino mandarín y el español pueden suponer un reto para los aprendices en el uso y comprensión del aspecto en la interlengua. Además, creemos que la adquisición del aspecto no está sincronizada en el nivel morfológico y semántico. A través de una prueba de gramatical y una de comprensión, descubrimos que las diferencias de los sistemas aspectuales entre la L1 y la L2 causan dificultad en los aprendices. Asimismo, nuestros datos apoyan que la adquisición del aspecto en el nivel morfológico ocurre más temprano que la adquisición en el nivel semántico.
Articular trabajo y cuidado en cooperativas de trabajo en Argentina: desafios normativos desde la perspectiva de género
Authors: Logiodice Luisina , Rodríguez Enríquez Corina
Published: May 2019

Las discusiones acerca del modo en que se organizan socialmente los cuidados, su desigual distribución entre mujeres y varones y su reconocimiento como trabajo, son aportes de la economía feminista que permiten comprender su aporte al sistema socio-económico. En ese marco, este trabajo tiene por objetivo reconocer las posibilidades que existen de resolver los cuidados a partir de la inserción laboral en cooperativas de trabajo. Entendiendo que las mismas no pueden concebirse de modo aislado sino que deben comprenderse en el marco de una organización y distribución social del trabajo de cuidado más amplia, debido al alcance del presente trabajo, se enfatizarán las posibilidades de articulación en vinculación al modo de inserción laboral. La importancia de este abordaje se fundamenta en la persistente división sexual del trabajo y las características específicas del trabajo cooperativo, que en tanto asociativo y autogestionado presenta desafíos claros para las normativas laborales y las protecciones sociales.
Leaving Home: Yemeni Students Discuss Study Abroad Migration
Authors: Martyn Howard Lorne
Published: May 2019

The decision to migrate for educational purposes is often stressful, but for those leaving countries embroiled in major warring conflicts, the decision may be overshadowed by feelings of sadness, anger and loss. And for many, the ostensible purpose of migration - education, is overshadowed by the desire or need to leave for economic and security reasons. In such situations, migrants hope they can power through those negative feelings and emerge successful, and with familial honor intact. The narrative weapon used to defeat negative feelings are stories of pride and resourcefulness. In this study Yemeni students studying at a university in Guangdong Province, China were interviewed concerning their decisions to leave Yemen. Participants were between 20 and 30 years old: all were male. Most hailed from Aden or Sana’a or areas adjacent to those major cities and all aligned themselves with pre-1990 South Yemen, as described by their fathers. Narrative analysis revealed a striking similarity: stories of hopeful future redemption through economic opportunities found abroad. Indeed, participants revealed a consuming desire for economic success - an obligation that was energized by feelings of pride in being trusted with custodial duties of familial honor. The results are discussed qualitatively in terms of categorical content and episodic form. This study is limited in that it only includes Yemeni males aligned with pre-1990 South Yemen, and those who hail from Sana’a, Aden or nearby urban centers. Future studies should include women, and those who encompass wider political views and reside in rural areas.

Authors: Alfadli Mona A. , Al-Mehaisen Sarah M.
Published: May 2019

The current study aims at identifying the reality of administrative empowerment among administrators recently employed in the intermediate schools of Riyadh Al-Khabra city, Saudi Arabia, from their perspective. The descriptive survey and comparative approach were applied to (89) administrators recently employed in the intermediate schools of Riyadh Al-Khabra. A five-domain questionnaire was developed to measure the dimensions of empowerment, including delegation of authority, self-motivation, teamwork, personal development and effective communication. The study resulted in a medium level of administrative empowerment among the recently employed administrators in the intermediate schools of Riyadh Al-Khabra. Authority delegation ranked the first, followed by teamwork, effective communication, self-motivation and personal development, respectively. Academic qualification had an ineffective impact on the administrative empowerment of the recently employed administrators. The study recommended supporting the application of the concept of empowerment through disseminating the culture of empowerment in the educational field, diagnosing the relevant organizational constraints, boosting confidence, improving communication among administrators, encouraging teamwork, affording communication channels between administrators and the respective educators and reconsidering the incentive system, administrators’ titles and job description based on academic qualification.
A Predictive Research on the Posttraumatic Improvement of Emergency Health Employees
Authors: Avşarolu Selahattin
Published: May 2019

Traumatic incidents are defined as despair people are in when they face fears, weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The purpose of the present research is determining the mental problems faced by emergency health workers while performing their jobs and how they deal with these problems. For this purpose, “The Hopelessness Scale, Locus of Control Scale, Problem Solving Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Post Traumatic Growth Inventory, Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire, The Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale and Beck Depression Inventory were used as data collection tools. The present research was designed in accordance with general screening model, which is a descriptive research method. With this model, how the independent variable affected the dependent variable was investigated and the regression analysis was conducted for the relationship between the variables. The research was carried out on the employees of the Department of Emergency Health Services in Erzincan and data were collected from 400 emergency health workers. The statistical analysis of the data was done by SPSS 20.00 package program and .05 was taken as the significance level. According to the regression analysis results hopelessness, negative effects of events on life, social support and dissociation were significantly related with stress symptoms and depressive mood levels. It was found that the effects of event and dissociation predict posttraumatic stress symptoms positively; and social support negatively. It was observed that hopelessness and post-traumatic stress symptoms predicted the level of depression positively and social support negatively. According to the findings of the research, it was recommended that psychosocial support units may be useful in emergency health services and psycho-education and psychological counseling services provided by the psychosocial unit can be useful for the stress, posttraumatic stress disorder and other problems that may be experienced.
Determinants of Government Expenditure on Public Flagship Projects In Kenya
Authors: Nganyi Silas Muyela , Jagongo Ambrose , Atheru Gerald Kalenywa
Published: May 2019

The Kenya Vision 2030 flagship projects expected to generate rapid economic growth in the country are threatened by inadequate source of funding, financial management problems and failure to link policy, planning and expenditure budgeting. The projects continue to experience inadequacies in project appraisal and implementation time overruns. Therefore, without a clear financial framework, fiscal indiscipline, resource misallocation and inefficient use of resources will militate against achieving the Kenya Vision 2030 targets. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate determinants of government expenditure on public flagship projects in Kenya. The specific objectives were to: evaluate the influence of planning process; source of funds; and management responsibility on government expenditure on public flagship projects in Kenya. The theories reviewed in the study were public finance, budget, cost-benefit analysis and principal-agent which provided grounds for conceptual framework. The study employed descriptive research design, positivist philosophy and multiple regression model. The target population was the planned 348 flagship projects for the period 2008-2012. The unit of analysis was projects based on sample size of 96 stratified random sample while data was collected using a questionnaire. The findings showed that planning process, source of funds and management responsibility had significant positive influence in determining government expenditure on public flagship project in Kenya. The study recommended that, public entities should strengthen and improve planning process by deepening MTEF within programme-based budgeting; the National Treasury should increase resources required for financing public flagship projects by considering public-private-partnerships as a potential source; and public entities should improve, strengthen and enforce management responsibility when designing public flagship projects. The two areas suggested for further research were; impact of project characteristics on the choice of Public-Private Partnership financing model; and impact of fiscal decentralization on financing public projects in light of devolved systems of governance in Kenya.
Objeto de Aprendizagem Virtual como Recurso Pedagógico Interativo para Resolução de Questões de Biologia no ENEM
Authors: Nascimento Marcus Vinícius Alves , Sabino Claudia Vilhena Schayer
Published: May 2019

Entre as faculdades humanas destacam-se o conhecimento e o pensamento, talvez como as de maior importância. A escola se concentra em aumentar o conhecimento, e se esquece do pensamento. O Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) tem o firme propósito de avaliar a capacidade de pensar dos alunos, com foco no raciocínio e não mais no que o aluno decorou. O ENEM tem a maioria de suas questões direcionadas para mensurar a competência de resolver situações-problemas, construídas muitas vezes por meio de gráficos, que requerem interpretação para a tomada de decisões. Alunos da área de Biologia têm muitas vezes dificuldades para resolver problemas cuja solução depende da interpretação de gráficos. O presente trabalho apresenta um Objeto de Aprendizagem Virtual (OAV), um site, construído com base nos princípios da Teoria Cognitiva de Aprendizagem Multimídia (TCAM) e na técnica “Ação da roda”, para resolução de problemas. Os resultados mostraram que a metodologia foi eficaz na aprendizagem e que a técnica “Ação da roda”, além de facilitar a resolução de problemas, pode contribuir para melhorar a habilidade de pensar e aprender.
O Programa PDE ESCOLA na Rede Pública Estadual de Ensino de Minas Gerais: Uma Análise dos Desafios e Contribuições para a Gestão Pedagógica
Authors: Lima Leise De Paula Reis , Gomes Suzana Dos Santos
Published: May 2019

O Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola (PDE Escola) foi fortemente influenciado pelo avanço das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) e, consequentemente, sofreu alterações no decorrer de sua trajetória. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a implementação do PDE Escola na Rede Pública Estadual de Ensino de Minas Gerais (RPEE-MG). A investigação foi realizada a partir da pesquisa de campo de abordagem qualitativa, associada à pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. O objetivo do presente texto é analisar os resultados obtidos por uma das escolas mineiras priorizada pelo governo federal e a relação da gestão com a interatividade do programa na plataforma virtual do Ministério da Educação. Constatou-se que a introdução das TDIC no contexto escolar favoreceu a disseminação do PDE Escola e otimizou a elaboração do plano de ação pelos profissionais da escola pesquisada. Os resultados revelaram que o financiamento do Governo Federal foi descentralizado com mais celeridade, e que houve melhoria na infraestrutura física e da gestão pedagógica da escola. Espera-se que esse estudo contribua com futuras pesquisas relacionadas ao tema, como PDE Escola e TDIC, como política pública nacional de apoio à gestão.

O objetivo desse artigo é analisar a trajetória sócio-espacial de estudantes negras e negros nos/pelos lugares de educação formal, de fato, suas narrativas sobre esses lugares. Tendo como influência o livro A geografia do aluno trabalhador, de Resende (1986), busca-se pensar uma “geografia da/o estudante negra/o”. Para isso, a noção de trajetória sócio-espacial é importante, pois, permite dimensionar a experiência desses estudantes em sua amplitude temporal-espacial pelos lugares. Por conta do racismo existente nos lugares de educação formal, a experiência de estudantes negras/os é marcada por desapontamentos e contrariedades, o que evoca por vezes uma relação topofóbica com essas espacialidades. Isso é expresso na narrativa de uma entrevistada, que, ao falar da escola, apresenta termos como “terror”, “medo”, “sofrimento” e “desânimo” para tratar de suas vivências. Esse tipo de experiência parece se reproduzir no ensino superior, cujas/os estudantes experimentam um certo isolamento e conflitos por serem “negras/os fora do lugar”. Essas experiências confirmam a assertiva de alguns geógrafos que afirmam que a identidade racial de sujeitos e grupos define padrões diferenciados de experiência do espaço. No que se refere a população negra, reminiscências de um passado escravista e a atuação do racismo conduzem a experiências marcadas pela violência, negação e a fixação em lugares simbólicos e físicos. Estudantes negras/os nos lugares de educação formal, assim, conformam trajetórias marcadas por experiências de humilhação; desqualificação e demérito; desmotivação e desestímulo; e inculcação de um senso de deslocamento e de se estar “fora-de-lugar”. Isso demonstra os limites dos discursos universalistas difundidos nesses lugares e nos impele a enfrentar e buscar mecanismos mais efetivos para desconstruir o racismo.

Two of the most significant challenges that higher education institutions are currently addressing are students' failure and drop-out prevention, as well as the promotion of students’ retention and success. The present study aimed at analysing the role that different variables play in the prediction of Academic Engagement and Burnout in first-year university students, under a multivariate perspective. The contribution of relevant psychological strengths in academic environments (Resilience, Personal initiative, and Academic Motivation), Procrastination and different coping strategies facing studies (Persistence, Avoidance and Anxiety) was explored. Also, the perception of academic demands and stress, students' affect (positive and negative) and the academic satisfaction was considered. Finally, an analysis of different engaged and burnt-out profiles of students was carried out. The contribution of the Efficacy subscale of Academic Burnout as an independent personal resource, and the consideration of the so-called Core Burnout, were subject of analysis. A sample of 172 first-year students of face-to-face universities, 68.8% women with a mean age of 22.99 years (SD = 7.62) volunteered to participate online in this study. The results showed, on the one hand, that Academic Engagement consisted mainly on a positive and intrinsic motivational construct, also characterised by academic efficacy, persistence as an active coping strategy, positive affect and satisfaction. On the other hand Core Burnout was mainly characterised by the perception of higher demands (e.g. academic overload), maladaptive learning behaviours and coping strategies such as procrastination and avoidance of difficulties, negative affect and dissatisfaction. Different profiles of engaged and burnt-out students were also analysed showing strong differences regarding personal strengths, coping with learning strategies, well-being and satisfaction with studies.These results could help us to set bases for the development of early support and prevention programs for students’ Burnout, as well as actions aiming at promoting students’ Engagement and well-being during their first academic year.

ResumenEl objetivo principal del presente trabajo es analizar las relaciones entre los recursos externos y los recursos per­sonales de los participantes en procesos de oposición para la Policía Nacional y sus actitudes y comportamientos en relación con el referido proceso de preparación. En el es­tudio participó una muestra de 130 opositores a la Policía Nacional de España. Los hallazgos muestran que la socia­lización relativa a la historia de la organización y las creencias de autoeficacia pronostican el compromiso con la preparación, mientras que la socialización relativa al lenguaje de la organización pronosticaba el desempeño excelente de los participantes en la oposición. Además, el optimismo pronostica el estrés, y el apoyo social, el opti­mismo y la autoeficacia pronostican la satisfacción. Los resultados se discuten de cara a sus implicaciones prácti­cas, orientadas a sugerir mejoras en los procesos formati­vos de los aspirantes a futuros policías nacionales.AbstractThe main aim of this paper was to analyze the relationships between external resources and personal resources of participants during their process to pass the Estate Exam for the National Police and the results related to their attitudes and behaviors in relation to the same preparation process. In the study, a sample of 130 candidates to enter the National Police from all over Spain participated. The findings show that socialization related to organizational history and self-efficacy beliefs predict commitment to the preparation process, optimism predicts experienced stress, social support, and optimism together with self-efficacy predict satisfaction and, finally, the anticipatory socialization relative to the language of the organization predicted the excellent performance of the participants. The results are discussed in terms of their practical implications.

Early relationships with equals are considered a relevant factor in people’s development. In order to study social interaction, Santoyo (1996, 2006) proposes the functional mechanisms of social effectiveness, social responsiveness, and reciprocity. To analyze and compare these mechanisms in the participants of the Comprehensive Program for High Abilities (CPHA) with the purpose of detecting possible differences between the students who are better considered by their equals and those who have less social acceptance. The sample was selected by a sociogram, and the social interaction was measured with the Observational Protocol for Interactions within the Classroom-OPINTEC, v.5 (Cadenas & Borges, 2016, 2017; Cadenas, Borges, & Falcón, 2013). The participants show effectiveness and correspondence, but they don’t show social reciprocity. No differences were observed between the most valued ones and the most rejected ones. Observation represents and appropriate methodology for the studying of social relations in natural settings in combination with other procedures.
