Authors: Guerini Filho Marildo , Dal Soler Arlan Luiz , Schmeier Nara Paula , Eckhardt Rafael Rodrigo
Published: November 2022

O conhecimento atualizado da cobertura vegetal e os usos do solo de uma bacia hidrográfica, são importantes para o estudo de processos geológicos e ecológicos. Uma forma de quantificar e estimar estas informações é através da disponibilidade de imagens de satélite e de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto. Neste contexto, o presente estudo realizou uma avaliação espaço-temporal da Floresta Ombrófila Mista (Mata de Araucária) existente na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Forqueta (BHRF). O desenvolvimento do trabalho deu-se a partir da análise de imagens do satélite de média resolução Landsat 5, dos anos de 1986, 1996 e 2006 com a utilização das bandas 3, 4 e 5 e com a imagem do ano de 2014 do Landsat 8, utilizando as bandas 4, 5 e 6. As referidas imagens permitiram delimitar os usos do solo através de um algoritmo de classificação supervisionada pelo método de Máxima Verossimilhança Gaussiana através do software ENVI 5.0. Os resultados evidenciam que ocorreu uma redução da Floresta Ombrófila Mista de aproximadamente 28% em relação a área existente em 1986, bem como redução nas áreas agrícolas e agropecuárias. Por sua vez as áreas de Floresta Estacional e Florestas Exóticas tiveram aumento principalmente em áreas mais declivosas da Bacia Hidrográfica.

Published: November 2022

Este trabalho consiste em uma análise da utilização das geotecnologias como suporte às auditorias de obras públicas realizadas pelos Tribunais de Contas do Brasil, com ênfase nos sistemas de informações geográfcas (SIG). O objetivo foi avaliar como as geotecnologias são aproveitadas no controle de obras e apontar oportunidades de novas aplicação. A metodologia consistiu na realização de revisão da literatura e análise dos SIG disponibilizados nos sítios eletrônicos dos Tribunais de Contas. Constatou-se que, a partir de 2008, as geotecnologias passaram a ser mais utilizadas pelos órgãos de controle no Brasil, em especial Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) e SIG, sendo mais incipiente quanto ao Sensoriamento Remoto. Verifcou-se que 35,7% dos Tribunais utilizavam SIG de forma sistemática, 14,3% estavam em fase de estudos e 50,0% ainda não utilizavam. Como possibilidade de novas aplicações nas auditorias, apontam-se GNSS diferencial e sensoriamento remoto para conferência de medições e aplicações de SIG para controle a distância de obras por meio de sensoriamento remoto, integração de bases de dados existentes e análises espaciais.

Authors: Roquete Ribeiro Suellen , Mourão Moura Ana Clara
Published: November 2022

An urban landscapeis composed by a set of many factors, and each one of them has a role in building a landscape that expresses values, cultural and social aspects of a society. This article focus on investigating possibilities to address urban landscape planning through a methodological approach that explores the urban parameter for occupation as one of the factors that shape our urban environment and landscape. The main goal is to discuss the planner'stask of decoding and translating social and cultural values to the landscape while showingsome possible outcomes from the investment in data acquisition, andthe structuration of an urban multipurpose 3D cadastre.Thus, the case study presents a Geodesign workshop which was held in the Geoprocessing Laboratory of the School of Architecture, from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and was attended by 13 participants. The participants were invited to propose new patterns for the land occupation through the defnition of urban parameters for an area in Pampulha region, in Belo Horizonte. The methodological process was based on Parametric Modeling for the visualization of alternative futures of urban landscape as a support for the opinion taking process promoted by the framework of Geodesign. As a result, the values and expectations from each group of representatives of the society were analyzed allowing an assimilation of the elements that interfere the most on citizens' interests for the composition of the urban land use. Extending the experience can favor a broader support for decision-making on proposition of Land Use laws as much as justify investments on the formation of 3D cadastre for municipal planning and management.

O artigo apresenta discussões conceituais sobre análise de multicritérios, um modelo clássico usado em análises espaciais, mas que exige cuidados em sua estruturação e aplicação, entre eles a forma de decisão de variáveis e seus pesos, a forma de verificação das incertezas presentes e a sua adaptação aos motivos de investigação, que incluem atender aos objetivos dos usuários. Nesse sentido, propõe e discute o papel da visualização, que pode atuar como visual-driven evaluation na calibração do modelo e resulta em condição de utilização do PPGIS (Planning Participatory GIS) como processo de envolvimento do pensamento dos cidadãos. Para que o processo ocorra de maneira eficaz defende-se a recuperação de conhecimentos propostos pela Semiologia Gráfica para tratamento gráfico da informação, alertando para o fato que a produção digital da informação está deixando de cuidar desta importante etapa no processo de comunicação cartográfica. Como metodologia propõe um algoritmo baseado em modelagem paramétrica com a utilização do Grasshopper e Rhino 3D, que fornece ao usuário a visualização de mecanismo de escolha e definição de pesos de variáveis, seguido de escolha de tratamento gráfico da informação, obtendo como resultado uma cartografa dinâmica que responde às diferentes simulações solicitadas. O resultado é a possibilidade que o usuário, guiado por visual-driven evaluation, entenda o impacto de hierarquização de variáveis e aprenda com o processo, o que o capacita ou empodera para a participação em escolhas de políticas públicas e planejamento de seu território.
INFLUÊNCIA DA PLUVIOSIDADE E COBERTURA FLORESTAL NA ÁREA SUPERFICIAL DO SISTEMA DE ABASTECIMENTO DE ÁGUA CANTAREIRA (2003-2014)
Authors: Machado Carolyne Bueno , Aragão Luiz Eduardo Oliveira e Cruz
Published: November 2022

O Brasil vem sendo marcado por intensa crise hídrica em diversas regiões, levando a população ao racionamento de água. Os reservatórios do sistema Cantareira, principal sistema de abastecimento da região metropolitana de São Paulo, atingiram níveis críticos em 2014. Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral avaliar a relação entre precipitação acumulada, cobertura florestal e a área superficial do reservatório Jaguari-Jacareí no período chuvoso de 2003 a 2014. Além disso, uma análise de tendência temporal de precipitação foi conduzida nas sub-bacias hidrográficas principais onde o sistema está inserido. Uma avaliação dos padrões espaciais das formações florestais das sub-bacias dos reservatórios também foi realizada. Os índices de precipitação foram relacionados com a área superficial do reservatório Jaguari-Jacareí. 80% da área de contribuição dos reservatórios apresentaram tendências negativas de precipitação. Os baixos índices pluviométricos em 2014 (45% da média para o período) não foram associados com perda de cobertura por vegetação desde 2003, no entanto, as sub-bacias com maior percentual de vegetação demonstraram tendências de precipitação menos negativas, associadas com a capacidade da vegetação em regular o clima, podendo amenizar os períodos de estiagem. O comportamento do reservatório principal possuiu grande correlação (R>0,7) com a precipitação acumulada em dezembro, janeiro e fevereiro. Assim, os baixos índices pluviométricos somados ao abastecimento já insuficiente e ao constante crescimento dos municípios abastecidos causaram a crise dos reservatórios do Cantareira.

A necessidade de informações acerca das dinâmicas de uso da terra tornou estudos relacionados à classificação de uso e cobertura da terra na região Amazônica relevantes no campo científico, com destaque ao uso de classificadores supervisionados. No entanto, o desempenho de um classificador supervisionado é dependente dos dados de entrada utilizados (imagem a ser classificada, definição das classes e coleta de amostras de treinamento), que em muitos estudos não são propriamente avaliados. Para contribuir com o entendimento de como variações nos dados de entrada afetam os resultados da classificação supervisionada, este estudo analisou os resultados de classificações de cobertura da terra em uma região da Amazônia brasileira, considerando diferentes métodos de classificação baseados em pixel, legendas com distintos níveis de detalhe (número de classes) e a sensibilidade dos classificadores à variação das amostras de treinamento (Incerteza) com o uso de uma imagem ótica de média resolução. Para tanto, foram geradas 100 imagens classificadas para três legendas com diferentes níveis de detalhe e diferentes configurações de quatro algoritmos de classificação supervisionados: Máxima Verossimilhança (ML), Máquina de Vetores Suporte (SVM), Ãrvore de Decisão (J48) e k-Vizinhos mais Próximos (K-NN). No total, foram obtidos 111 (3 níveis de legenda x 37 configurações de classificadores) grupos de 100 imagens classificadas, que foram utilizados para gerar imagens combinadas em que cada pixel recebe o rótulo mais frequente nesses grupos de imagens (moda) e mapas da Incerteza associada. De forma geral, a combinação de imagens retornou uma imagem classificada de igual ou maior exatidão que imagens que a compõem, com diferenças menos expressivas em função dos classificador utilizado que ao se considerar os grupos de 100 imagens classificadas, embora a diferença no valor de exatidão seja pequena. A maioria das imagens classificadas mais acuradas foram obtidas utilizando alguma configuração do algoritmo K-NN. No entanto, esse algoritmo apresentou maiores valores de Incerteza quando comparado a ML e SVM. Essa maior variabilidade (maiores valores de Incerteza), em compensação, colabora para a obtenção de melhores resultados da operação da moda, pois permite reclassificar adequadamente pixels de classificação instável. O algoritmo ML apresentou resultados mais consistentes (variam pouco em relação ao conjunto de amostras de treinamento), adequadamente acurados e possui utilização mais simples, já que a etapa de ajuste de parâmetros não é necessária. Quanto menor o nível de detalhe da legenda, maior a exatidão das imagens classificadas e menor sensibilidade das imagens classificadas à variação das amostras de treinamento (Incerteza). A diminuição do nível de detalhe da legenda resulta também em diferenças menos sutis na exatidão das imagens classificadas por diferentes algoritmos na configuração ótima.

The effect of coupling agent on the mechanical properties of injection molded polypropylene/wheat straw composites
Authors: Lendvai László , Patnaik Amar
Published: November 2022

The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling agent in polypropylene (PP)-based composites filled with ground wheat straw (WS) particles. The WS and the MAPP content in the composites was 10 wt% and 2 wt%, respectively. The samples were fabricated through melt compounding using a twin-screw extruder and then formed into dumbbell-shaped specimens by injection molding. The mechanical properties of neat PP and the composites with and without coupling were evaluated based on tensile and flexural tests and dynamic mechanical analyses (DMA). The experimental results showed that incorporating WS into the PP reduces its tensile strength by ~3 MPa, while improving its Young’s modulus by 0.14 GPa. The addition of MAPP compensated for the loss in tensile strength without affecting the modulus. Similar observations were made during the flexural tests as well, in which case, however, there was no loss revealed in the strength in the presence of WS due to the different types of load. The results of DMA analyses indicated an improved stiffness of WS-containing samples throughout the whole analyzed temperature range of 20-120 °C as a consequence of reduced chain mobility of PP caused by the stiff straw particles.

Published: November 2022

This study aimed to investigate the interactions between chicken strains and supplementation of feed additives, and the efficacy of the interactions for improving immunity, kidney function, and blood protein of native chicken. Research materials were 480 chickens of different strains including kampung chicken, KUB chicken (Balitbangtan superior native), and Kedu chicken. Basal feed offered to the chickens contained 3,118.95 kcal/kg energy and 19.2% crude protein. The research was conducted in a factorial completely randomized design, utilizing 12 treatments and four replicates. The data were sub-jected to analysis of variance, followed by the Honestly Significant Difference Test (HSD). The analy-sis of variance showed that the interactions between chicken strains and 1% supplementation of feed additives were not significantly different (P>0.05) across all parameters, but chicken strain significant-ly affected (P<0.05) antibody titers against AI and ND, as well as lymphocyte infiltration in the lamina propia ileum. KUB chickens had a higher level of immunity than that Kedu chickens. Supplementation of 1% feed additives tends to improve the level of immunity as reflected by the increased titers against AI and ND after vaccination, as well as the undisturbed kidney functions. Conclusively, the interac-tions between chicken strains and the supplementation of 1% feed additives into basal feed produced relatively similar results. Meanwhile, KUB chickens showed better immunity than kampung chickens and Kedu chickens. Supplementing feed additives (garlic and kalimun) showed relatively effective re-sults in improving antibody titers against AI and ND, so it is necessary to increase the supplementation dosage to enhance significant immunity.

Published: November 2022

This study examined the effects of unconventional feed on performance characteristics and candi-date gene expression in growing pigs of 3-5months of age. A Total of forty-five (45) growing pigs were randomly allotted into five treatments consisting of whole maize (T1), brewer’s dried grain (T2), cassava peel meal (T3), plantain peel meal (T4), and corn husk meal (T5), at 35% inclusion rate. Per-formance data were collected for 12weeks, while duodenum and liver samples were collected after the experiment for gene expression analysis. Data were analyzed in a completely randomized design. Diets significantly (p< 0.05) affected growth performance with treatment 2 recording the highest average daily weight gain of 0.21±0.02 whilecorn husk meal (T5)had the least 0.11±0.01. Feed efficiency was highest for whole maize (T1) and brewer’s dried grain (T2) (0.10±0.02) and lowest for t5 (0.07±0.17). Cost-benefit analysis were significantly different (p<0.05) with t4 recording the highest gross margin. Insulin-like growth factor1 and leptin gene were differentially expressed in tissues, while no significant differences (p>0.05) existed for growth hormone gene and ryanodine receptor1 gene. The results showed commendable gross margin, however, cognizance should be taken in the quantity of brewer’s dried grain fed to pigs since it increased the expression of ryanodine receptor 1 gene that leads to por-cine malignant hypertermia and pale soft exudates pork.

Published: November 2022

In view of the difficulties present in the swine production system to achieve sustainable productivity based on the comparative advantages and potential of the territory of the department of Caquetá, located in the natural region of the Colombian, the aim of the study was to analyze the socioeconomic factors that may influence the use of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in live-stock feed. For this purpose, the study was carried out with a descriptive-transversal methodology with a non-experimental design and quantitative approach, where the survey was applied to 44 swine production units through a non-probabilistic method. The data were systematized using R software; a principal component analysis was performed and the degrees of relationship of socio-economic factors with the use of NTFPs in animal feed. It was concluded that despite being in a biodiverse territory, social factors related to the level of knowledge about NTFPs and economic factors linked to sources of financing are directly proportional to the degree of NTFP use in swine production in the department of Caquetá. Although NTFPs are found in most production systems in the region, they are not used for animal feed.

Investigation of improved optical and conductivity properties of poly(methyl methacrylate)–MXenes (PMMA–MXenes) nanocomposite thin films for optoelectronic applications
Authors: Tan KimHan , Samylingam Lingenthiran , Aslfattahi Navid , Johan Mohd Rafie , Saidur Rahman
Published: November 2022

Polymer matrix composites composed of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and MXenes (Ti3C2T
x
) are synthesized using direct solution blending and casting techniques. MXenes are a new family of two-dimensional materials. Both optical and conductivity properties of the resulting PMMA-MXene nanocomposite thin films are studied as a function of MXene concentration, for the first time. The resulting thin films are in the micrometer range (8.10–8.80 µm) in thickness. As the concentration of MXenes increases, the PMMA embeds MXenes, causing structural disturbance but without any change in the crystal structure. The MXene thickness in single-layered structure is 15–20 nm. Optical investigations such as UV-Vis absorption, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, and band gap have been reported to study the light absorption of nanocomposites. Resistivity measurement associated with electrical conductivity is studied. The relationship between optical responses and electrical conductivity is discussed. When compared to pure PMMA (1 × 10−14 to 1 × 10−13 S m−1), nanocomposites have electrical conductivity that is more than 3,000 times higher. The nanocomposites containing 15 wt% MXenes had the highest conductivity of 1.35 × 10−3 S m−1. Both the conductivity improvement and tunable optical findings accelerate the route of integrating MXenes into polymers to create more promising multifunctional composites for optoelectronic applications such as conductive electrodes, thin film transistors, and logic circuits.

An integrated tone box scheme for determining tones in Tai varieties beyond Southwestern Tai: diachronic and synchronic concerns
Authors: Liao Hanbo
Published: November 2022

When applied to Tai varieties beyond Southwestern Tai, Gedney’s tone box framework and its revised versions have several shortcomings, the most notable of which is the lack of consideration of diachronic issues that give rise to more complicated tonal correspondences. This paper proposes a more widely applicable Tai tone box chart with one additional tier based on the more probable tone-conditioning phonetic nature of onsets found in non-Southwestern Tai varieties. This Tai tone box chart has been designed to be paired with an ancillary chart to explain the essential diachronic processes of different Tai varieties. It thus provides insights into the revision of Proto-Tai phonological reconstructions based on tonology and support for the early-stage Southern-Northern Tai division and the Southwestern-Central Tai versus Yongnan Zhuang-Saek-Northern Zhuang divisions.
Trade, Kingdom, and Empire: Edom and the South Arabian Trade
Authors: Danielson Andrew J.
Published: November 2022

During the first millennium BCE, extensive trade networks linked the South Arabian and Mediterranean worlds. While these trade networks are well known for their transport of highly lucrative materials, these connections afforded myriad economic and diplomatic opportunities for the intermediaries located along its routes, and held significant bearing on the political economies of southern Levantine kingdoms. While the wealth and opportunity afforded by the Arabian trade to these kingdoms are frequently invoked—particularly in relation to Edom—such references, and related discussions of the Arabian trade, are often restricted in their chronological scope and reliant on limited data. Recent scholarship on Edom, however, has substantially contributed to a more detailed understanding of settlement trajectories and shifts in sociopolitical organization, which, combined with recent archaeological research on varied aspects of the Arabian trade, necessitate an expanded synthesis of the trajectory of this trade and its relation to Edom. This work thus presents first an outline of the diachronic trajectory of the Arabian trade in relation to the southern Levant using textual and material culture data, and second, analyzes it within the context of sociopolitical developments in the late Iron Age kingdom of Edom. Ultimately, this work argues for a close association between the flourishing of long-distance trade in the southern Levant and the presence of sedentary sociopolitical complexity in southern Transjordan, as evident in the kingdoms of Edom and later Nabataea.
Data Mining in Social Sciences: A Decision Tree Application Using Social and Political Concepts
Authors: Massou Efthalia , Prodromitis Gerasimos , Papastamou Stamos
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we investigated the utility of data mining to classify individuals into predefined categories of a target variable, based on their social and political attitude. Data collected for a social psychology study conducted in Greece in 1994 were used for this purpose. We established the theoretical background of our analysis through explanatory factor analysis. We ran the decision tree algorithm CHAID in order to build a predictive model that classifies the study participants in terms of their attitude toward physical and symbolic violence. The CHAID algorithm provided a decision tree that was easily interpreted, and which revealed meaningful predictive patterns. CHAID algorithm showed satisfactory predictive ability and promising alternatives to social psychology data analysis. To the best of our knowledge, there is no other evidence in the literature that the decision tree algorithms can be used to identify latent variables.
The role of different inorganic anions on passive film durability for nickel against chloride ions pitting corrosion in borate buffered solution
Authors: Al-Qhatani Mohsen M. , Deyab Mohamed A.
Published: November 2022

Potentiodynamic and cyclic voltammetric studies were carried out on nickel in borate buffered saline (pH = 8.49). The anodic excursion spans of nickel in borate buffer solution do not involve active/passive transition. The passive film starts to break down in the presence of Cl-ions, which causes pitting damage. The data reveal that the increasing Cl− concentration and solution temperature shifts the E
pit to the active direction while the increasing in scan rate shifts the E
pit to the positive direction. The pitting potential (E
pit) shifted in a positive direction when increasing concentrations of Wo4
−2 and MoO4
−2 anions were added to a borate buffer solution containing Cl− ions, showing that the additional anions had an inhibitory influence on the pitting corrosion. While the NO3
− anion is ineffectual as an inhibitor and rather speeds up pitting corrosion, the NO2
− anion has a slight inhibitory impact on pitting corrosion.
Sensibility in Haydn’s Topical Art
Authors: Hui Keri
Published: November 2022

In Haydn’s keyboard music, sensibility displays distinct localized manifestations, and it also proves its capability to encompass several musical signifiers. By examining and contextualizing the use of the sigh, the tempesta, and the toccata topos in Haydn’s keyboard sonatas Hob. XVI:20, 49, and 46, this article aims both to demonstrate that sensibility may be signified by multiple topics and to call attention to the value of studying Haydn’s topical art. The three topics in Haydn’s keyboard sonatas each reveal a particular facet of sensibility, thereby testifying to the rich complexity of this human quality much cherished in the eighteenth century.
Acute presentation of immunotherapy-related diabetes mellitus without ketoacidosis, low C-peptide or elevated HbA1c
Authors: Phang Cun An , Kumar Shejil , Rohl Peter
Published: November 2022

The rapid rise in the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors as systemic cancer therapy has seen the emergence of immunotherapy-induced diabetes, a severe irreversible immunotherapy-related adverse event. Affected patients typically present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and low C-peptide consistent with insulin deficiency secondary to autoimmune β-cell destruction. We present the unusual case of a 61-year-old female with metastatic ampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma with primary tumour adjacent to the pancreatic head. She was commenced on immunotherapy after conventional systemic chemotherapy. Acute-onset hyperglycaemia was detected after 7 weeks on weekly blood glucose monitoring, with no glucocorticoid use or prior history of diabetes. On presentation, there was no evidence of DKA, and her glycated haemoglobin level was within the normal non-diabetic range at 5.3%, reflecting the acuity of her presentation. Initial serum C-peptide was preserved; however, it became undetectable a few weeks later, confirming insulin deficiency. We describe a case of atypical presentation of immunotherapy-induced diabetes, review the existing literature on this emerging clinical entity and discuss the differential diagnosis for new-onset diabetes mellitus in patients with metastatic cancer.

Learning points

Regular proactive glycaemic monitoring in patients receiving immunotherapy, particularly antibodies against programmed death ligand 1 and PD1, can facilitate very early detection of immunotherapy-induced diabetes, prompting insulin commencement and avoiding life-threatening presentations of diabetic ketoacidosis.

Glycated haemoglobin can be within the normal range in patients diagnosed acutely with immunotherapy-induced diabetes.

Serum C-peptide can be preserved initially in patients diagnosed with immunotherapy-induced diabetes but is likely to become undetectable during their illness.

New-onset diabetes in patients with metastatic cancer carries a broad differential diagnosis.
Adult-onset nesidioblastosis: a challenging diagnosis revealed by glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor imaging
Authors: Demartin Sophie , Goffette Pierre , Christ Emanuel , Freitag Martin T , Maiter Dominique , Maria Furnica Raluca
Published: November 2022

A 52-year-old female presented with recurrent episodes of fasting or post-absorptive hypoglycemia. A 72-h fasting test confirmed endogenous hyperinsulinemia. Conventional imaging was unremarkable. Selective pancreatic arterial calcium stimulation and hepatic venous sampling showed a maximum calcium-stimulated insulin concentration from several pancreatic areas, mainly the proximal splenic artery and the proximal gastroduodenal artery, suggesting the presence of one or more occult insulinoma(s) in the region of the pancreatic body. 68Ga-DOTA-exendin-4 PET/CT showed however generalized increased uptake in the pancreas and a diagnosis of nesidioblastosis was therefore suspected. The patient has been since successfully treated with dietetic measures and diazoxide. Treatment efficacy was confirmed by a flash glucose monitoring system with a follow-up of 7 months.

Learning points

Adult nesidioblastosis is a rare cause of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

The distinction between insulinoma and nesidioblastosis is essential since the therapeutic strategies are different.

68Ga-DOTA-exendin-4 PET/CT emerges as a new noninvasive diagnostic tool for the localization of an endogenous source of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Medical management with dietetic measures and diazoxide need to be considered as a valuable option to treat patients with adult nesidioblastosis.

Flash glucose monitoring system is helpful for the evaluation of treatment efficacy.

El profesorado es la clave y la punta de lanza para el éxito de cualquier reforma educativa. Sin embargo, pocas veces se convierte en el foco de una propuesta específicamente dirigida a la profesión docente. El Documento “24 propuestas de reforma para la mejora de la profesión docente”, representa una de esas ocasiones en las que la mirada se focaliza en ese conjunto de profesionales que hacen de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje su razón de ser. Fue presentado en enero de 2022 por el Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional, en cumplimiento de la disposición adicional séptima de la LOMLOE (BOE 30/12/2020). Este artículo se hace eco de la relevancia de una propuesta de reforma que tiene como finalidad la mejora de la profesión docente y la formación y el desarrollo profesional del profesorado.

La lectura y análisis del documento citado, y un bucear entre sus líneas, me animó a seleccionar aquellos aspectos y propuestas más comprometidos con la atención a la interacción teoría y práctica: profesores productores de conocimiento, competencias profesionales, el acceso a la profesión docente y la relevancia de la formación inicial. Todos ellos dan cuenta de las relaciones teoría y práctica, de manera explícita o implícita.

He organizado el contenido de este artículo en dos grandes partes. La primera, contiene una mirada global al documento de las 24 propuestas de reforma, su estructura y contenidos, y el análisis crítico de los aspectos citados en el párrafo anterior.

La segunda, estará dedicada a profundizar en las relaciones entre la teoría y la práctica en la formación inicial; relaciones apasionantes, huidizas, pero esenciales a la hora de comprender los problemas de la enseñanza en el proceso de ser docente.

Transportation Infrastructure and Family Educational Expectations: An Empirical Analysis Based on the China Family Panel Survey
Authors: Chen Wuyuan
Published: November 2022

Based on data from the China Statistical Yearbook and China Family Panel Survey (CFPS), this article investigated the influence of regional transportation infrastructure development on family education expectations. Research results show that there is a significant positive correlation between transportation infrastructure and family educational expectations and that the improvement of transportation infrastructure can enhance the family’s willingness to engage their children in higher education. According to the results of influencing mechanism analysis, transportation infrastructure development affects family education expectations by increasing family income and changing family reproduction concepts and educational ideas. In addition,  the impact of transportation infrastructure construction on family education expectations is heterogeneous: the positive correlation between them is particularly significant in rural areas with less developed transportation infrastructure, in areas with low average education level of parents and slow information communication, and among families of lower social classes; however, the relationship between the two variables is not prominent in urban areas, in areas where information communication is fast and parents have a higher average education level, and among families with higher social classes. These research findings offer the nation and government new implications for better promoting poverty alleviation through education and rural revitalization in underdeveloped areas.

Busca-se neste artigo discutir narrativas produzidas com jovens atletas de voleibol de categorias de base e problematizar em suas enunciações a intersecção das identificações da masculinidade, orientação sexual, juventude e raça. Propomos o diálogo entre a abordagem interseccional e os estudos pós-fundacionais como aportes teórico-metodológicos, conforme Sirma Bilge, Leonor Arfuch e Judith Butler. Entre os resultados, os jovens atletas relataram como suas identificações são performatizadas socialmente ao reverberar a discriminação e a inferiorização de seus corpos por marcadores de raça, classe e orientação sexual. A intersecção dessas identificações materializou suas masculinidades como dissidentes às normas da branquitude e da cisheteronormatividade no contexto do esporte.

As discriminações salariais aos trabalhadores(as) com deficiências, bem como as interações destas com outros marcadores sociais da desigualdade, como gênero e raça/cor, foram analisadas utilizando dados do Censo Demográfico 2010 (IBGE). Quatro tipos de deficiência foram investigados, utilizando-se um modelo de regressão multivariada controlando por efeitos fixos por ocupações. Os resultados indicam que há discriminação salarial para os quatro tipos de deficiência analisados. Observa-se que a maior discriminação ocorre para os trabalhadores(as) com deficiência visual severa, seguido das deficiências físicas, mentais e auditivas. No entanto, tal discriminação é de pequena magnitude, quando comparadas a outros marcadores sociais da desigualdade, como gênero e raça/cor. O efeito do gênero, por exemplo, é seis vezes maior que o da deficiência visual enquanto o de pessoas não brancas é quatro vezes maior. Quando considerado o acúmulo dos marcadores sociais da desigualdade, deficiência, gênero e raça/cor, confirma-se que a mulher negra com e sem deficiência é aquela que mais sofre com a discriminação salarial no Brasil.
