Absolute moisture content in mid-latitude urban canopy layer
Authors: Unger János , Skarbit Nóra , Gál Tamás
Published: December 2018

This part of the study on absolute moisture content in the mid-latitude urban canopy layer first gives a comparison on intra-urban relative and absolute humidity patterns showing an example based on a long dataset. The comparison clearly demonstrates the usefulness of the utilization of absolute measure opposite to the temperature dependent relative one. This supports the earlier statements found in the literature albeit these statements are based on only case studies or short datasets. Then a short overview follows which presents the main results of studies about urban absolute moisture content. These studies focused mainly on urban-rural and less on intra-urban humidity differences. The scale differences are used for the grouping of studies based on the number of available measurement sites as well as their spatial distribution and density in the investigated urban regions.

Authors: Nagy Gábor , Takács Alexandra , Kállay András Arnold , Mentes Dóra
Published: December 2018

One of the possible utilisation methods for organic wastes is anaerobe decomposition (fermentation). The main product of this process is biogas which is usually used for energy purposes due to its composition (mainly methane and carbon dioxide). The residual solid material after fermentation can be used as soil conditioner.
Lab-scale fermentation can be carried out using the “VDI 4630 – Fermentation of organic materials Characterisation of the substrate, sampling, collection of material data, fermentation tests” standard. Based on the conditions described in the standard, a small-scale low-budget reactor system were prepared. The temperature during the holding time was controlled with water bath and the gas production was determined with fluid displacement method. A peristaltic pump was used for the recirculation of the gas to mix the base material. Furthermore, the temperatures of the environment, the water baths and the inside of each reactor was automatically registered on a data collector.

Authors: Csikós Sándor , Molnár Tamás , Szuchy Péter , Gogolák László , Bíró István , Sárosi József
Published: December 2018

The current cargo capacity for aircraft is about 20% of their total weight, increasing this ratio would significantly increase the economics of aircraft logistics. This is why it’s important for material sciences to advance so that the materials used in aircraft construction become lighter while still retaining their structural integrity. In this paper we examined materials used in aircraft construction (steel, aluminum, plastics and composites) at the University of Szeged Faculty of Engineering. Using vibrational analysis we analyzed the test pieces for their natural frequency, we did this to gain insight to the range of frequencies that are least attenuated by the material the aircraft wings are made from. Using the data we gathered we wish to draw conclusions to which materials are more suited for aircraft wing construction.
Analysis of the Hungarian agricultural marketing - by the supply of local products' consumers
Authors: Lendvai Edina , Ördög Ágnes
Published: December 2018

The term agricultural marketing is composed of two words-agriculture and marketing. Agriculture, we can think about the soil, the forests, the sea, so it includes all the primary activities of production systems in relation to animal, plant, food production. But, generally, it is used to mean growing and/or raising crops and livestock. The study of agricultural marketing comprises all the operations, and the agencies conducting them, involved in the movement of farm-produced foods, raw materials and their derivatives, such as textiles, from the farms to the final consumers, and the effects of such operations on farmers, middlemen and consumers.

In our primer research a questionnaire was made by us. The topic of the questionnaire was the consumption of these local products and the knowledge about the common agricultural marketing. The main group of our research was the graduated people, we think, they have more information and income, so they attitude is positive for these products.

We have known, the most of the participants had heard about the agricultural marketing, but the main institute, AMC not yet. The problems with the local products – in the opinion of the participants are: higher price, less choice, no too comfortable shopping.

Authors: Gouvêa Júnior José Carlos Rocha , Bertolo Reginaldo Antônio , Hart Sasha Tom
Published: December 2018

A intrusão de vapores do solo, processo definido pela migração de contaminantes em fase volátil desde uma fonte de contaminação existente em subsuperfície para o interior de edificações, tem sido tema de debates entre comunidades científicas e regulatórias internacionais há aproximadamente três décadas. No Brasil, como é o caso para a maioria das tecnologias em desenvolvimento, as instruções técnicas para avaliar a intrusão de vapores provenientes da América do Norte e da Europa vêm sendo adaptadas de forma a possibilitar a sua aplicação a nível local. A nível mundial, verifica-se que a abordagem para avaliação da intrusão de vapores tem tipicamente sido focada na utilização de modelos preditivos e na avaliação de riscos à saúde humana (ARSH), sendo que investigações de campo e a utilização de múltiplas linhas de evidência fazem parte da regulamentação apenas em poucos países (Austrália, Canadá, Dinamarca, Estados Unidos e Reino Unido). Nestes locais, novas tecnologias e formas de abordagem vêm sendo utilizadas de maneira bem-sucedida para elucidar os cenários de exposição, por meio do refinamento de modelos conceituais, e assim auxiliar a tomada de decisões. No Brasil, foram identificados desenvolvimentos com relação ao quadro regulatório e tecnológico, porém existe um campo amplo de oportunidades para o estabelecimento de diretrizes e procedimentos específicos para avaliação do processo de intrusão de vapores.

Authors: Camioto Flávia de Castro , Peres Rezende Garcia Gomes Vanessa
Published: December 2018

A energia elétrica no Brasil tem tido uma crescente demanda, fazendo com que ocorra questionamentos a respeito das fontes geradoras e seus impactos na sociedade e no meio ambiente. Assim, cada vez mais se fala na necessidade de utilizar fontes renováveis para gerar energia. A energia solar é uma energia limpa e apresenta um enorme potencial, porém, no Brasil, nem sempre o seu uso é economicamente viável em comparação com outras fontes energéticas, como as hidrelétricas. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a viabilidade econômica da implantação de um sistema fotovoltaico em residências na cidade de Uberaba - MG. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foi utilizado o valor presente líquido (VPL) e a taxa interna de retorno (TIR), além da Simulação de Monte Carlo para o cálculo do risco da implementação desse sistema em cada bandeira tarifária vigente. Os resultados indicam que é viável investir em energia fotovoltaica em residências de Uberaba - MG quando a bandeira tarifária estiver amarela ou vermelha, sendo que na vigência da bandeira verde o risco desta implantação ser inviável é maior que 90%. Esses resultados consideraram a atual situação econômica brasileira, com a Taxa Mínima de Atratividade igual a 9,15%, próxima à taxa Selic.

Análise do processo produtivo e capacidade operacional de uma organização de coleta seletiva de resíduos sólidos – estudo de caso asnov garanhuns
Authors: Feitosa Ingrid Saiala Cavalcante de Souza , Da Silva Gilson Lima
Published: December 2018

Gerenciar adequadamente um processo produtivo é determinante para alcançar os objetivos organizacionais, porém a ausência de conhecimento técnico torna essa gestão desafiadora e leva a resultados aquém do que a organização poderia obter. Associações e cooperativas de catadores de materiais recicláveis, bastante relevantes na implantação da gestão integrada de resíduos, através da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS), contam, na maior parte das vezes, com um gerenciamento incipiente de seus processos e atividades. Nesse sentido, propôs-se a análise do processo produtivo de uma organização de coleta seletiva de resíduos sólidos recicláveis e reutilizáveis, enfocando sua capacidade de absorver o volume gerado desses resíduos em sua área de atuação. Utilizou-se de questionário semiestruturado e entrevistas, construindo-se o fluxograma do processo, e de mensurações da capacidade operacional da produção. Os resultados obtidos, da organização atuante no município de Garanhuns, Pernambuco, a única a realizar coleta seletiva na cidade, demonstraram sua capacidade operacional de absorver os resíduos recicláveis e reutilizáveis gerados no município. O processo produtivo é apresentado em detalhes e sua capacidade de absorção dos resíduos ainda que pequena, contribui inegavelmente para a redução do volume considerável de resíduos destinados a aterros.

Published: December 2018

Objetivo: Desenvolver um modelo de análise para o Planejamento e Controle da Produção (PCP) em Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PMEs) que operam com a estratégia de Produção Contra Pedido e verificar o impacto da formalização dos processos e da mensuração de resultados no PCP das PMEs. Método: Este trabalho utilizou a pesquisa-ação para validar um modelo de análise do PCP em 3 PMEs. Foram criadas equipes de melhoria em cada empresa e aplicadas técnicas como a visita técnica, observação participante e entrevistas focadas para mapeamento e análise dos processos de PCP. Fundamentação teórica: Ao analisar a literatura, foi possível mapear três principais características das operações das PME's: (1) Planejamento e Controle da Produção deficientes, (2) informalidade na execução das operações e (3) falta de mensuração de resultados. O modelo de análise proposto neste trabalho parte de um entendimento de que as caraterísticas (2) e (3) explicam (1) em grande medida. Resultados: A formalização dos processos ajudou a disseminar o conhecimento das tarefas e prioridades entre os funcionários das empresas e diminuiu consideravelmente a improvisação nos processos. A mensuração de resultados facilitou a identificação de problemas e oportunidades de melhoria nos processos de PCP. Contribuições: São poucos os modelos de análise do PCP disponíveis na literatura que atendem necessidades específicas das PMEs. Este trabalho preenche essa lacuna com o desenvolvimento e a validação de um modelo de análise destinado a esse segmento.
Aerodynamic analysis of backward swept in HAWT rotor blades using CFD
Authors: Salari Mohammad Sadegh , Boushehri Behzad Zarif , Boroushaki Mehrdad
Published: December 2018

The aerodynamical design of backward swept for a horizontal axis wind turbine blade has been carried out to produce more power at higher wind velocities. The backward sweep is added by tilting the blade toward the air flow direction. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations were used for solving the conservation equations in one outer stationary reference frame and one inner rotating reference frame, where the blades and grids were fixed in reference to the rotating frame. The blade structure was validated using Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver in a test case by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) VI blades results. Simulation results show considerable agreement with the NREL measurements. Standard K-ε turbulence model was chosen for simulations and for the backward swept design process. A sample backward sweep design was applied to the blades of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) rotor, and it is obtained that although at the lower wind velocities the output power and the axial thrust of the rotor decrease, at the higher wind velocities the output power increases while the axial thrust decreases. The swept blades have shown about 30 percent increase in output power and about 12 percent decrease in thrust at the wind speed of 14 m/s.Article History: Received June 23rd 2018; Received in revised form Sept 16th 2018; Accepted October 1st 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Salari, M.S., Boushehri, B.Z. and Boroushaki, M.

Authors: Li Weijuan , Xu Haijian , Sha Xiaochun , Meng Jingsong , Wang Zhaodong
Published: December 2018

In this study, oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steels with nominal composition of Fe–14Cr–2W–0.35Y2O3 (14Cr non Zr-ODS) and Fe–14Cr–2W–0.3Zr–0.35Y2O3 (14Cr–Zr-ODS) were fabricated by mechanical alloying (MA) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technique to explore the impact of Zr addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 14Cr-ODS steels. Microstructure characterization revealed that Zr addition led to the formation of finer oxides, which was identified as Y4Zr3O12, with denser dispersion in the matrix. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the non Zr-ODS steel is about 1201 MPa, but UTS of the Zr-ODS steel increases to1372 MPa, indicating the enhancement of mechanical properties by Zr addition.
Structural Property Improvements of Bentonite with Sulfuric Acid Activation and a Test in Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation of Phenol
Authors: Balci Suna
Published: December 2018

The acid activation of bentonite from Middle Anatolia, consisting of mostly montmorillonite, with a hot solution of H2SO4 with different concentrations was carried out. SEM images, nitrogen sorption isotherms and FTIR spectra were used to examine structural changes of the bentonite with acid activation. Acid–base titration method was applied to determine surface acidities. SEM images, nitrogen sorption isotherms indicated that the acid activation caused considerable increases both in the surface area and pore volumes by changing the morphology and aluminum content. FTIR spectra showed the enhancement both in Lewis and Brønsted acidities, significant increases in H–bonding to the structure with acid concentration. Acid treatment gave good structural properties with high surface acidity. Stable structured acid activated bentonite with 2 M was tested in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of phenol together with raw bentonite. Around 96 % phenol removal was achieved in 135 minutes at reaction temperature of 50 °C while the raw bentonite did not show good results. The data were in agreement with the first order dependency with respect to phenol.
Text Mining-Verfahren als Herausforderung für die rekonstruktive Sozialforschung
Authors: Philipps Axel
Published: December 2018

In den letzten Jahren nehmen die Anwendungsvarianten computergestützter Verfahren für die qualitative Sozialforschung zu. Vor allem das Text Mining verspricht eine automatisierte Strukturierung größerer Textmengen. Während Einzelne darin ein großes Potential für die rekonstruktive Sozialforschung sehen, fehlt weitgehend unter den rekonstruktiv Forschenden eine Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Thema. Vor dem Hintergrund von Einzelfallanalysen mag dies berechtigt sein, aber bei der zeitgleich stattfindenden digitalen Durchdringung der empirischen Sozialforschung wird eine Beschäftigung damit unausweichlich. Wir brauchen Antworten, wie webbasierte Inhalte medienspezifisch zu interpretieren sind oder worin sich die rekonstruktive Sozialforschung von den Digital Humanities unterscheidet – wo bereits das Zusammenspiel von computergestützten Analysen und hermeneutischen Verfahren erprobt wird. Der Beitrag bietet daher einen ersten Überblick zu Text Mining-Verfahren, diskutiert die Sicht ihrer Vertreterinnen und Vertreter auf die qualitative Sozialforschung und nennt erste Überlegungen, wie und unter welchen Bedingungen der Einsatz von automatisierten Verfahren für rekonstruktive Herangehensweisen sinnvoll sein könnte.

Published: December 2018

In the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, constitutive heterochromatin is marked by tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3) and DNA methylation. We identified mutations in the Neurospora defective in methylation-1 (dim-1) gene that cause defects in cytosine methylation and implicate a putative AAA-ATPase chromatin remodeler. Although it was well-established that chromatin remodelers can affect transcription by influencing DNA accessibility with nucleosomes, little was known about the role of remodelers on chromatin that is normally not transcribed, including regions of constitutive heterochromatin. We found that dim-1 mutants display both reduced DNA methylation in heterochromatic regions as well as increased DNA methylation and H3K9me3 in some intergenic regions associated with highly expressed genes. Deletion of dim-1 leads to atypically spaced nucleosomes throughout the genome and numerous changes in gene expression. DIM-1 localizes to both heterochromatin and intergenic regions that become hyper-methylated in dim-1 strains. Our findings indicate that DIM-1 normally positions nucleosomes in both heterochromatin and euchromatin and that the standard arrangement and density of nucleosomes is required for the proper function of heterochromatin machinery.

A Review of Fatty Acid and Amino Acids Profile from Pasteurized Egg Liquids Produced in Romania
Authors: NISTOR Andreea Cătălina , NISTOR (COTFAS) Lucia Iuliana , USTUROI Marius Giorgi
Published: December 2018

Egg is a rich source of nutrients, such as high-quality protein (containing the ideal proportion of amino acids necessary for human body development) and a rich variety of vitamins and minerals. Liquid egg products have grown to a large extent in the food industry and beyond, which is an important reason to know their quality. For the analysis was used fresh pasteurized yolk and white wrapped bag in box. The fatty acids were determined by gas chromatographic method and amino acids by high performance liquid chromatography method. The results indicated that 34% of total fatty acids analyzed are saturated fatty acids, the main constituent being palmitic acid (25%) and 66% are unsaturated acids and the main constituent is oleic acid (37%). The rate of essential amino acids which are in pasteurized liquid white represents 46% from total analyzed amino acids and in the case of yolk the share is 44%. From obtained data for fatty acids content our limits are higher for polyunsaturated acids than those indicated by other researchers, and for monounsaturated acids are lower than data obtain by other authors. Regarding the essential amino acids content, the obtained data have higher values than the ones obtain by other authors. A possible explanation for the fluctuations in the profile of fatty acids and amino acids could be the feed distributed to the birds from which the eggs are obtained.

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experience of caring for a person with Parkinson's Disease. Method: We used the qualitative study and thematic analysis with family caregivers of people with Parkinson's Disease. Results: Three thematic categories were identified, being: Feelings related to Parkinson's Disease; Changes in family daily routines; Caregiver strategies for self-care. Final considerations: Family care has shown the need for health services to provide caregivers support, as they experience situations of overload in care that can contribute to their illness. The findings also allow nurses to see the need for differentiated care for caregivers that, by assisting them with their needs, favor the quality of life of the caregiver, reduce the possibility of illness, allowing a more efficient care to the entity with chronic illness.
The face-to-face encounter in indigenous health care: a perspective in Lévinas
Authors: Teixeira Diomedia Zacarias , Nunes Nelson dos Santos , Silva Rose Mary Costa Rosa Andrade , Pereira Eliane Ramos , Handan Vilza
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on the sensitive behaviors of indigenous healthcare professionals based on the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas, to ratify completeness, equity, and humanity. Method: reflective study. Reflection: Studies have identified inadequacies in meeting the indigenous singularities. In the hospital and outpatient settings, they are diluted in the search for care. The difficulty of the professionals to admit them generates conflicts and non-adherence of indigenous individuals to treatments that disregard their care practices. In Lévinas, consciousness requires, "a priori," sensitivity to access the Infinity on the Face of the Other, which in the face-to-face encounters is presented to the Self as radical Alterity, proposing an Ethical relationship through transcendence. The freedom of the Self as to the Other is finite, as the Self cannot possess the Other, and infinite for its responsibility for the Other. Final considerations: The Self builds essence and existence in responsibility. In the Ethics of Alterity, in Lévinas, reflections are proposed that influence sensitive behaviors.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the experience of implementation of a clinical equipment of health care production to homeless people, denominated Street Outreach Office. Method: Experience report in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Results: The Street Outreach Office implementation resulted from a demand for health care practices for homeless people. This implementation had intersectoral articulations, causing health professionals to carry out street care practices, which led them to strive for public policies, to rethink their actions in order to increase the resolution of care to this population. Conclusion: We should emphasize the importance of health professionals to reinvent their practices, daily, seeking partnerships and acquisition of new knowledge in order to achieve results that can reduce the demands of these individuals throughout their life routes.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the nursing care performed by the nursing team to the person with mental disorder submitted to ECT and to analyze the implications of the Psychiatric Reform in this care. Method: socio-historical study, which uses the Thematic Oral History method. Results: the nursing team is present in a continuous way in the monitoring of people submitted to ECT, performing care before, during and after the same, as well as visualizing the evolution of the technique and also of nursing care itself, however, does not recognize the Psychiatric Reform as agent for this change. Final considerations: the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform triggered a process of humanization of nursing knowledge, influencing the care of the person with mental disorder submitted to ECT, with this, care practices also changed, a law was approved, regulating its practice, and its application was decreasing.

Contradições na organização do espaço habitacional de uma favela paulistana
Authors: Noronha Nayara Silva de
Published: December 2018

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as contradições na organização do espaço habitacional em uma favela paulistana. Para tanto, realizei um trabalho etnográfico com 18 meses de observação participante, 21 entrevistas com moradores e trabalhadores locais e 26 depoimentos do projeto memorial. Na tentativa de dar sentido e compreender este fenômeno social urbano, dividi os dados em duas categorias e 16 subcategorias, analisando os dados embasados na grounded theory. Fundamentada em uma epistemologia espaçotemporal associada à teoria de processos de organizar, concluí que na organização do espaço habitacional da favela as práticas de luta social por moradia coexistem com as práticas de reprodução de um mercado imobiliário adaptado à realidade da favela em que, ao mesmo tempo, conflitam entre si, alimentam a existência uma da outra, complexificando a concretização do direito à moradia.
An analysis of public-private partnership contractual incentives in Brazilian citizen service centers
Authors: Avrichir André Schifnagel
Published: December 2018

Abstract This research uses a multiple case study approach to assess theoretical propositions from transaction costs economics, the theory of incentives, and the theory of incomplete contracts. The Poupatempo and the Unidades de Atendimento Integrado (UAI), which are two major Brazilian regional citizen service centers, were the cases selected based on an unusual opportunity: the parallel occurrence of two different arrangements of public-private partnership, applied to the same public service. Poupatempo has expanded its network of units since 2007 by building partnerships through outsourcing, whereas UAI has applied the Brazilian legal framework for public-private partnership to develop its services. This multiple case study is based on a contractual analysis that identifies the partnerships’ formal incentives and on an examination of private agents’ performance. Also, subsidiary semi-structured interviews allowed the observation of non-contractual variables.

Public policies and the city: producing inclusive urban spaces
Authors: Teixeira Sonia Maria Fleury , Subirats Joan , Lacerda Daniel S. , Blanco Ismael
Published: December 2018

Abstract Research on cities have received increased attention over the years. Urban spaces are, on the one hand, a significant target of speculative financial investments and commodification of life, generating dynamics that are very difficult to contain within the competencies of local governments. At the same time, cities are the central space of everyday life, where there is resistance at many levels seeking to defend the conditions of living and subsistence of the majority of citizens. This special issue presents exciting contributions to the debate on public policies and the city. The articles published approach cities as urban spaces of diversity and encounters; the arena of discursive and material struggles; contradictory embeddedness of commodification and resistance; the focus of institutional disputes between exclusion and participation; and finally, changing spaces that respond to the need for new management technologies at a local level. Drawing on various theoretical frameworks and rich empirical discussions, this special issue reclaims cities as central spaces of everyday life, which are particularly important for protection and emancipation in a global scenario of uncertainty.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to characterize the patients assisted at the general outpatient clinic of the Psychiatry Institute of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (IPUB-UFRJ) and to assess these patients’ clinical stability. Methods This cross-sectional study collected information using a structured questionnaire filled in by the patient’s physician. The questionnaire, specifically developed for this purpose, included sociodemographic data; the dwelling area; psychiatric diagnosis according to ICD-10; clinical stability assessment by means of five psychiatric instability criteria and the physician’s global clinical impression over the six previous months. Clinical stability was defined as a negative answer to all five pre-defined instability criteria. Results Overall, 1,447 questionnaires were filled in. The sample was composed of 824 (57%) women; with an average age of 49 years; 1,104 (76.3%) patients lived in the city of Rio de Janeiro and 343 (23.7%) lived outside the city; 983 (67.9%) patients had a severe mental disorder (SMD) diagnosis and 946 (65.3%) patients were considered stable. Statistically, the clinical stability by dwelling area did not differ. The most frequent clinical instability criterion was “exacerbation or emergence of acute manifestations of the disease”. Conclusion The major part of the patients displayed a SMD and was considered clinically stable.

RESUMO Objetivo A percepção sobre a maconha entre profissionais de saúde mental é desconhecida no Brasil. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar padrões de percepções e de conhecimento sobre maconha entre profissionais da área da saúde mental em três instituições de diferentes perfis. Métodos Setenta profissionais (psiquiatras, psicólogos, assistentes sociais, terapeutas ocupacionais e enfermeiros) de três serviços da área de saúde mental – Hospital Nossa Senhora de Fátima (hospital filantrópico), CAPS-AD (Serviço público especializado no atendimento de álcool e drogas) e Instituto de Psiquiatria do Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (Serviço acadêmico e assistencial) – foram avaliados por meio de um questionário elaborado pelos pesquisadores, composto de 31 afirmativas. Resultados Psiquiatras tendem a discordar mais que os outros profissionais quanto à necessidade de tratamento para o uso de maconha e que a maconha traz prejuízos cognitivos. Os profissionais do Hospital Nossa Senhora de Fátima apresentaram percepção mais favorável à proibição de maconha e valorizaram mais os possíveis prejuízos associados ao uso quando comparados aos profissionais das outras duas instituições. Conclusões A percepção sobre a maconha entre servidores da saúde mental varia de acordo com a profissão e o local de trabalho.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relevância do canal de custo da política monetária no Brasil, a possibilidade de pass-through incompleto da taxa de juros, e a relação entre o crédito direcionado e a política monetária. Para tanto, elaborou-se um modelo DSGE Novo-Keynesiano, no qual: o custo das firmas é diretamente influenciado pelo nível da taxa de juros cobrada pelos bancos; uma parcela dos bancos não é capaz de modificar as taxas de juros que cobram pelos empréstimos a cada período; e, uma parcela dos bancos opera linhas de crédito direcionado. O modelo foi estimado por meio do método da distância mínima (Matching). Os resultados indicam que (i) o canal de custo desempenha papel relevante na transmissão da política monetária (explicando o price-puzzle da política monetária); (ii) não há evidência de pass-through incompleto; e (iii) o crédito direcionado reduz a capacidade de a política monetária modificar as condições de crédito.

ABSTRACT: Despite society’s adoption of mobile devices, we have yet to learn whether teachers perceive these artifacts as an innovation and what their potential is for teacher development and practice. This study aims to answer the following questions: what does mobile application affordances teachers perceive for their professional development and practice? What do these affordances reveal concerning Rogers (2003) innovation attributes, namely: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability? The analysis of eleven teachers’ narratives indicates that teachers do perceive the affordances of their devices for professional development. As for instruction, these teachers report that lack of school equipment and the need for a curriculum that includes the use of emergent technologies may indicate a low degree of compatibility, an attribute concerning a social system’s values. The reported affordances indicate the need for a new value system if the adoption of mobile learning is to take place in formal education.

RESUMO: O artigo apresenta parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa sobre as atuais configurações de gênero no trabalho docente nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, que foi historicamente associado a uma feminilidade e a práticas de cuidado. Contudo, as novas formas de gestão difundidas na administração pública brasileira desde o final da década de 1990, têm colocado em questão esse modelo, ao exigirem dos educadores e educadoras posturas baseadas não apenas na lógica de mercado, mas também em valores que se considera como relativos a um tipo de masculinidade, como individualismo, competitividade, foco na ascensão na carreira e em recompensas monetárias. Para investigar se esses movimentos levaram ao apagamento dos traços históricos de feminilidade associados ao trabalho das professoras dos anos iniciais, foi feito um estudo qualitativo na rede pública estadual de SP, que indicou a permanência de referências a uma feminilidade, porém ressignificadas e contraditoriamente integradas às novas políticas gerencialistas.
Estratégias de estimativa na reta numérica
Authors: Duro Mariana Lima , Dorneles Beatriz Vargas
Published: December 2018

RESUMO O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar quais estratégias foram mais utilizadas por 30 crianças do 2o ao 6o ano escolar (seis de cada ano), de uma escola pública da cidade de Porto Alegre/RS, para realizar estimativa numérica na tarefa “estimativa na reta numérica”, a partir de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas. O principal objetivo desse estudo foi, além de elencar as principais estratégias apresentadas, indicar as estratégias mais frequentes e/ou mais precisas. Foram encontradas oito diferentes estratégias, que variavam de simples contagem exata a estratégias mais complexas, envolvendo estruturas multiplicativas de fator proporcional. Os resultados indicaram que a estratégia de contagem foi a de maior frequência, porém com baixa precisão. Para este teste, os estudantes de maior nível de escolaridade utilizaram estratégias mais complexas ainda não acessíveis aos de menor escolaridade, as quais possibilitaram estimativas mais precisas.
Os escritos de Antonio Gramsci e obras de intérpretes em teses e dissertações sobre políticas educacionais (2000-2010)

Published: December 2018

RESUMO Neste artigo, analisa-se a bibliografia de Antonio Gramsci e intérpretes mobilizada por pós-graduandos que adotaram o pensamento do autor em seus trabalhos. Foram selecionadas 32 teses e dissertações, produzidas em programas de pós-graduação em Educação no período de 2000-2010, cujos resumos indicam a presença de Gramsci no referencial teórico utilizado. Realizou-se pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, com o objetivo de mapear os escritos de Gramsci e de intérpretes de seu pensamento mencionados no decorrer do texto e nas referências. Constatou-se que os pós-graduandos, para a compreensão do pensamento de Gramsci, apoiaram-se na obra do próprio autor e na de seus intérpretes. No que se refere aos escritos de Gramsci, os autores dos trabalhos analisados citaram tanto a edição temática como a edição dos anos de 1990 dos Cadernos do Cárcere. Os textos Concepção dialética da história e Os intelectuais e a organização da cultura, da edição temática, foram os dois mais citados. Entre os intérpretes, Carlos Nelson Coutinho foi o mais mencionado. Conclui-se que a presença de ideias e conceitos gramscianos em trabalhos sobre políticas educacionais deve ser acompanhada de uma cuidadosa atenção ao referencial bibliográfico do e sobre o autor, e que é importante, dados os limites da edição temática, que o pensamento de Gramsci seja estudado com base na edição dos anos de 1990 ou na edição crítica italiana.
As professoras e o pagamento de bônus por resultado: o caso da rede estadual de São Paulo

Published: December 2018

RESUMO Este artigo busca entender a relação das professoras do ensino fundamental 1 com o pagamento de bonificação pelo cumprimento de metas. Trata-se de indagar se as formas empresariais de gestão do trabalho introduzidas na educação pública alteraram os modelos de docência nessa etapa da escolarização, que historicamente foram associados a uma feminilidade. Para tanto, foi feito um estudo qualitativo baseado em observações e em entrevistas semiestruturadas com professoras da rede pública estadual de São Paulo. Conclui-se pela presença de uma superposição dos dois modelos de trabalho docente: dimensões associadas à feminilidade, como dedicação, culpa e amor ao ensino, são combinadas com a lógica da gestão empresarial, que enfatiza a recompensa financeira, o individualismo e a competição.
