Laplanche and the anti-racist unconscious, rewriting seduction, listening to the noise
Authors: Popa Bogdan
Published: March 2020

This article proposes the idea of an anti-racist unconscious to respond to problems raised by Jean Laplanche’s conceptualisation of ‘enigmatic messages’. In reversing the dynamic between the seducer and the seduced, I ask: What if a racialised person produces messages that will disturb a legacy of slavery and its history of violence? In drawing on an intersectional analytic inspired by queer theory, post-socialist theory, critical race studies and Roma studies, this article suggests that Laplanche’s enigmatic messages (‘noises’) can function as epistemological interventions seeking to decolonise a Euro-American imagination. Given that the unconscious has been conceptualised according to modes of storytelling that speak from the standpoint of institutions of white domination, I show that the unconscious can function as an anti-racist epistemological site. I focus my analysis on a Soviet film (The Fiddlers, Loteanu, 1971) to identify how enigmatic messages lead to Roma tactics such as the counterfeit and the curse, which respond to racialised violence either by terrifying the oppressors or by taking back resources from them.
The case for Interdisciplinary Crisis Studies
Authors: Bergman-Rosamond Annika , Gammeltoft-Hansen Thomas , Hamza Mo , Hearn Jeff , Ramasar Vasna , Rydstrom Helle
Published: March 2020

In the world we live in today, the presence and claims of crisis abound – from climate change, financial and political crisis to depression, livelihoods and personal security crisis. There is a challenge to studying crisis due to the ways in which crisis as a notion, condition and experience refers to and operates at various societal levels. Further, different kinds of crisis can overlap and intersect with each other, and act as precursors or consequences of other crises, in what can be thought of as inter-crisis relations or chains of crises. This article makes an enquiry into how to develop more adequate analytical tools for understanding crisis as a multidimensional phenomenon. We ask how crisis can be conceptualised and what the analytical potentials of a distinct crisis perspective might be? In this article we suggest a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to bridge between traditionally separated realms. Our ambition is to present a case for the development of Interdisciplinary Crisis Studies as a field of scholarly enquiry, which allows for new perspectives on data collection and analysis. Using the cases of, first, crisis and security and, second, crisis and climate, conflict and migration, we illustrate how studying and intervening in crises requires non-linear approaches which connect across disciplines to develop more comprehensive, interdisciplinary understandings of societal problems and better solutions. In concluding the paper, we assert that key features of Interdisciplinary Crisis Studies must include (1) temporality, spatiality and scale; (2) multi-layeredness, processuality and contradictions; and (3) gender, intersectionality and social inequalities.
Thermal modeling of high-power Yb-doped fiber lasers with irradiated active fibers

Published: March 2020

With both radiation effects and thermal effects taken into consideration, a multiphysics thermal model concerning high-power Yb-doped fiber lasers operated with post-irradiated active fibers is established. Radiation-related parameters, including propagation losses, refractive indexes and lifetime, are considered. And, with the temperature profile of the active fiber, temperature-dependent parameters, including absorption and emission cross-sections, refractive indexes and lifetime, are updated every loop to simulate the output parameters. Simulation results show that radiation induces great changes to the thermal profiles of the active fiber. And severe performance degradation of high-power Yb-doped fiber lasers are recorded, featuring a remarkable drop in output power and an even steeper decline in the transverse mode instability threshold, which is a predominant limitation at high radiation doses. With a deposited radiation of 100 Gy, an output decline of about 50% and a mode instability threshold drop over 85% are observed. And it’s shown that, with the exploited active fiber, it’s hardly possible for the investigated fiber laser to generate stable single-mode output at kilowatt levels with accumulated radiation doses beyond 50 Gy. At low radiation doses within 20 Gy, to maintain safe and stable single-mode operation of the laser system, longer active fibers with lower absorption coefficients are preferred despite a small rollover of the output power.
Enhancement of quantum correlations using correlation injection scheme in a cascaded four-wave mixing processes
Authors: Wang Hailong , Zhang Kai , Ni Zhihao , Jing Jietai
Published: March 2020

Quantum correlations and entanglement shared among multiple quantum beams are important for both fundamental science and the development of quantum technologies. The enhancement for them is necessary and important to implement the specific quantum tasks and goals. Here, we report a correlation injection scheme (CIS) which is an effective method to enhance the quantum correlations and entanglement in the symmetrical cascaded four-wave mixing processes, and the properties of quantum correlations and entanglement can be characterized by the values of the degree of intensity-difference squeezing (DS) and the smallest symplectic eigenvalues, respectively. Our results show that the CIS can enhance the quantum correlations and entanglement under certain conditions, while for other conditions it can only decrease the values of the DS and the smallest symplectic eigenvalues to the level of standard quantum limit, respectively. We believe that our scheme is experimentally accessible and will contribute to a deeper understanding of the manipulations of the quantum correlations and entanglement in various quantum networks.
Generation of stable orbital angular momentum beams with an all-polarization-maintaining fiber structure
Authors: Dong Zhipeng , Zhang Yimin , Li Hongxun , Tao Runxia , Gu Chun , Yao Peijun , Zhan Qiwen , Xu Linxin
Published: March 2020

In this paper, we propose a stable orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode fiber laser with an all-polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) structure based on a combination of two linearly polarized modes. The mode intensity ratio between the two linearly polarized modes can be adjusted by adopting a double-pump structure. A pair of polarization-maintaining long-period fiber gratings (PM-LPFGs) are used as a mode converter. The number of topological charges of the OAM mode beam can be tuned between +1 and −1 by stretching the fiber. By adopting an all-PMF structure, we can build an OAM mode fiber laser without a polarization controller and that is resistant to environmental disturbances. The purity of the OAM mode was approximately 93.6%. This stable and compact OAM mode fiber laser can be used as a laser source in practical applications and scientific research.
Hyenas/hustlers: An Afrosur/realist reading of Touki Bouki (1973)
Authors: Moji Polo B.
Published: March 2020

Using Amir Baraka's conception of Afrosurrealism as a black aesthetic form that is imbricated with 'lived life', this article proposes an Afrosur/realist reading of Djibril Diop Mambéty's Touki Bouki ('The hyena's journey') (1973). I explore the trajectory of the iconic lovers Anta and Mory and their recourse to petty criminality as a means of escaping to Paris. I first consider how petty criminality or 'hustling' can be read in relation to Abdoumaliq Simone's notion of 'people as infrastructure' or a realistic reproduction of the African urban. I then turn my attention to Membéty's surrealist portrayal of Anta and Mory as 'hyenas' – or the archetypal figure of the stranger who poses a threat to the city's social order. Central to my analysis of the surreal as an expression of desire is the filmic reproduction of post-independence Dakar on-screen. I pay attention to place-identity, and the filmic depiction of nodes and modes of mobility as sites of potential disruption to the city as a form of social order. The article thus subverts and complicates the dichotomy between the real and the surreal as cinematic forms that reproduce the postcolonial African urban as both lived and imagined.
Melancholy freedom: Movement and stasis in Sibs Shongwe-La Mer's Necktie Youth (2015)
Authors: Wright Timothy
Published: March 2020

This article examines the 2015 art-film Necktie Youth (Sibs Shongwe-La Mer) with a view to understanding new affective, temporal and genre formations in post-transitional South Africa. A quasi-documentary portrait of ennui and depression among a circle of privileged 'born-free' youth in Johannesburg's wealthy suburbs, the film uses a coming-of-age narrative template to allegorize post-transitional South Africa. Yet this allegory is not a straightforward one of either disillusionment or progressivist maturation. Rather, it has something in common with David Scott's analysis of the 'ruined time' of post-revolution: an endless present haunted by the ghosts of futures past. I use Scott's lens to understand the floating, marooned temporalities of the film, whose deep melancholic undertow is at odds with its performance of youthful post-apartheid self-fashioning. Thus, despite its claims to inhabiting a 'new' historical phase, the film remains haunted by the ghosts of what Scott calls the 'allegory of emancipatory redemption'. I show how the film ultimately produces a sense of 'exile from history' – a mode in which key historical events have already happened and in effect overwhelm the present – and argue that this sensibility is key to understanding the contradictory temporalities of the present.
'Maisha yetu ya kila siku kama vile movie': Fantasy, desire and urban space in Tanzanian music videos
Authors: Kerr David
Published: March 2020

An explosion of creative practices in music, film and video production followed the liberalization of the Tanzanian media in the early 1990s. Concerned about cultural imperialism, Tanzania's first president Julius Nyerere had resisted allowing television in mainland Tanzania and consequently the first licence was only granted in 1994. Following the establishment of the first TV station there has been a proliferation of TV station and online platforms circulating the new genre of popular music videos. During the last decade, new media spaces, including continent-wide TV channels such as Channel O and MTV Africa (both based in South Africa), have created new circuits for the circulation of Tanzanian music videos. New media spaces enabled by liberalization have become sites for negotiating gendered, moral and sociopolitical value. They also serve as imaginative sites of desire and fantasy. Music videos set in the cinematic space of Dar es Salaam's new high-rise buildings and 'exclusive' clubs have become something of a trope in Tanzania. These videos display fantasies of enjoyment and consumption. In so doing, they reflect neo-liberal and individual modes of wealth accumulation which challenge accepted social norms about consumption and wealth. Examining these new contemporary cinematic representations of the city as spaces of fantasy and desire, this article will explore the modes of spectatorship audiences bring to these videos. It will examine how audiences, largely excluded from these exclusive city spaces of consumption and excess, read cityscapes in music videos. This article ultimately sets out the multiplicity, ambiguity and indeterminacy of the desires (both creative and destructive) evoked in audiences by contemporary music video.
Dark and gritty/slick and glossy: Genre, Nollywood and Lagos
Authors: Ryan Connor
Published: March 2020

In this article, I am concerned principally with Taxi Driver (Oriahi, 2015), Gbomo Gbomo Express (Taylaur, 2015), Just Not Married (Patrick, 2016), Ojukokoro (Greed) (Olaitan, 2016) as well as Catch.er (Taylaur, 2017). These films are characterized as much by the depiction of clever criminals as the cultivation of a cynical disposition from which transgressions of this sort appear stylish and violence is rendered 'cool'. Almost all of them turn on a scheme to dupe others of a large sum of money, and are punctuated by backstabbing partners in crime, tables turning by chance, edgy armed standoffs and a surprising number of bodies in car trunks. Given the dark portrait of Lagos these films present, one might be inclined to read the genre cycle as a reiteration of the role Lagos has historically played as embodiment of popular anxieties concerning insecurity, material inequality and social breakdown. And yet, in recent years, conditions within the city have markedly improved over those of the deepest point of urban crisis in the 1990s when Lagos was, indeed, paralysed by a generalized condition of insecurity and dysfunction. New Nollywood's repertoire of film styles has expanded to include international film cycles and genres such as romantic comedies, psychological thrillers, police procedurals, among others. This raises important questions about the nature of correspondences between cinema and the city, such as whether New Nollywood genre films tell us anything about social, cultural or historical circumstances in Lagos, or the place the city occupies in the popular imagination, for instance. Recent upmarket film noirs speak, instead, to the evolution of Lagos as a media capital. I examine the different kinds of work genre performs in New and Old Nollywood films and propose a number of ways to critically interpret genre's various registers.
Fragile feeling
Authors: Mupotsa Danai S.
Published: March 2020

Where analyses of the city as a landscape often visualize 'urban-ness' through images of tall buildings and concrete, this article thinks about how the genre of romance might turn our attention to other genres of city-as-landscape. I offer Johannesburg from this orientation through a reading of its history as a 'Secret Garden'. Most romance genres rely on a temporal closure of 'happily-ever-after', but here I am interested in other possible endings. This reading of romance I draw from account of romance as a temporal relation to anticolonial struggle. The article examines Kagiso Lediga's 2018 film, Catching Feelings. The film is framed around the narrative of the 'cuckold', which I argue articulates the libidinal economy between the protagonist Max and his friend, Heiner. This libidinal economy is also presented through the landscape of the city. While more accurately defined as a film within the genre of 'bro' or 'lad lit', what Lediga's film does share with chick lit is the way that it borrows from the form of the fairy tale. Through this fairy tale, I locate emergent and continuous forms of masculinity in a history of Johannesburg's landscape through the visual language of the domesticated forest. Through the cuckold as a fairy tale, Lediga offers the city not simply as the place of the action, but as an object of desire, or of fantasy that makes his fragile protagonist 'strange'.
Clustering and spatial heterogeneity of bovine tuberculosis at the livestock/wildlife interface areas in Namwala District of Zambia
Authors: Tembo Novan Fully Proud , Muma John Bwalya , Hang'ombe Bernard , Munyeme Musso
Published: March 2020

Background and Aim: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains a major public health issue in Zambia and has been exacerbated by human immunodeficiency virus prevalence and consumption of unpasteurized milk in the Southern Province of the country. The prevalence of bTB has been established to be linked to Kafue Lechwe, which act as reservoir hosts and share grazing fields with domestic cattle. No studies have so far used geographic information system (GIS) to investigate the relationship between the reservoir hosts (Kafue Lechwe) and domestic animals. This study, therefore, aimed to apply GIS to investigate the spatial distribution of bTB in Namwala District of the Southern Province of the country.

Materials and Methods: To investigate the spatial distribution of bTB, geographical positioning system (GPS) coordinates representing 96 cattle herds across 20 independent villages were captured alongside risk factor data. The 96 herds were based on abattoir reports of condemned carcasses and a trace back. Positive herds were confirmed by cross-reference to purified protein derivative tests conducted by the District Veterinary Office. The GPS coordinates were transferred into ArcView 3.2 and laid on the map of Namwala District alongside physical features, including national parks, game management areas, and flood plains. Questionnaires were administered across 96 independent households to assess risk factors of bTB transmission.

Results: The results revealed a "clustered" spatial distribution of the disease in cattle in Namwala District of Zambia, particularly significant in the eastern interface areas of the district (p=0.006 using Moran's I). Abattoir to production area trace back revealed a herd-level prevalence of 36.4% (95% CI=26.7-46.3%) among cattle herds in Namwala District, whereas individual animal prevalence ranged from 0% to 14% (95% CI=2.4-26.2%). Further, GPS data indicated that the majority of the positive herds were located at the livestock/wildlife interface area. Contacts with wildlife, coupled with sharing grazing, and watering points were found to be significant risk factors for bTB transmission.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated the presence of bTB in cattle and associated spatial risk factors. In particular, bTB was observed to be a function of animal location within the livestock/wildlife interface area. GIS is thus an applicable and important tool in studying disease distribution.

Published: March 2020

Aim: The main objective of this study was to estimate the effect of supplementation of rumen-protected choline (RPC) and green tea extract (GTE) on production parameters in transition Karan Fries (KF) cows.

Materials and Methods: The present experiment was carried out on 32 pregnant KF cows. In the control group, cows were fed basal diet. In T1, each cow was fed RPC (55 g/day), in T2 – GTE (3 g/d), and in T3 – RPC + GTE (55+3) g/day along with basal diet. The duration of the experiment was 30 days before calving to 60 days after parturition.

Results: Feeding of both RPC and GTE significantly increased milk yield (p≤0.01), 4% fat corrected milk yield (p≤0.01), milk fat (p≤0.01), and total solid content (p≤0.05) than control. There was no significant difference (p≥0.05) in milk protein, lactose, and solids not fat ( SNF) content among the groups.

Conclusion: Supplementing RPC and GTE in combination improved milk yield and fat content of the milk without altering protein, lactose content of the milk in transition KF cows.

Published: March 2020

This research talks about the need of a precision landing system also known in Brazil as ILS CAT III. It will approach if what motivates such implementation is the political or the economic bias and what is the relationship with the awards to the related private companies. In order to check the true need of the device to the country, it's necessary to acknowledge some barriers that we face when implementing this kind of device. The goals of this study are to present the concept and the history of this system, since its creation to the precision categories. Besides that, it will be shown comparative data from the airports before and after the implementation of the ILS, observing the results of such measure. The study also has as a goal to present the spending and the methods used for the homologation, certification and maintenance of the system by the regulatory bodies. The methodology is based in literature review structured in books, scientific articles, reports, Brazilian resolutions and regulations. It's expected that with this research we can prove or not the true need of the ILS CAT III to Brazil towards the predominant weather conditions in the domestic airfields, the current political and economic scenario and the questions about concession and privatization of Brazilian airports. In view of the following research, it was found that ILS CAT III in Brazil doesn’t have a cost-benefit of real viability, both for national airlines and for airports that would have to implement this system, given that a few hours throughout the year requires this type of operation, being more viable to them the expense with passengers before the resolution 141 of the ANAC.
APOIO MULTICRITÉRIO NA SELEÇÃO DE UM OBSERVADOR MILITAR PARA UMA MISSÃO DA ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS
Authors: Carvalho Fabrício Baroni de , Santos Marcos Dos , Quintal Renato Santiago
Published: March 2020

The increase in Brazil's interest in international affairs has generated a growing participation in military operations under the control of the United Nations. The selection of the military for this type of mission is a major challenge for the decision-making authority, since they represent Brazil before the international community. The choice must be transparent and based on well-defined criteria. In this context, the purpose of this article is to propose a methodology to be used during the selection process of military personnel to integrate military observer missions into peace operations. The multicriteria decision support techniques can contribute to this process, considering the objective and subjective aspects and supporting the decision maker. The ELECTRE III method was used to determine the Officer who is best able to perform the military observer mission. The choice of a method of overclassification is due to the fact that no compensation is allowed between the criteria. The study shows that in certain military situations with lower rank may possess characteristics that make them as or more interesting than those of higher rank.

Applications available in learning platforms, when they are integrated into the teaching process, may help further propositions which foster learning as well as bring up confrontations and challenges. Thus, how has the integration of applications been viewed by teachers? This qualitative research analyzed applications of a platform used by a private school and checked how 10 teachers viewed them after integrating them into the teaching-learning process. To collect the pertinent data one used a questionnaire with four open questions and the analysis of the platform at issue, which presents innovating applications and is flexible enough to be adapted to the contents and specificities of students' groups. Teachers were in favor of the applications viewed as support for the teaching-learning process, but pointed out the need of a more specific background. One managed to conclude that the resources by themselves only do not meet the needs of a complex process such as the challenge of teaching and learning.

Through the National Policy on Specialized Education in Inclusive Education, the classrooms called: Salas de Recursos Multifuncionais e a Instituição do Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) na Educação Básica were promoted. The AEE classroom is a space of the school, where didactic, pedagogical and Assistive Technology materials are available, where professionals with specific training to attend the students with special educational difficulties due to some type of disability are ready to support them. These classrooms aim to improve student learning in the school context. In the Education field, the Assistive Technology aid in the Process of Learning and Development of Students with Disabilities, further promoting the autonomy within their abilities in the accomplishment of their own tasks. It’s important to emphasize that the teacher needs to have technical knowledge and mastery of Assistive Technology resources, so this tools can be implemented within his/her pedagogical practices. In this context, this research aims to make a bibliographical research, through the literature on the subject, proposing a discussion about the state of the art of work. In this context, this work objective was to present a bibliographic study, proposing a discussion about the art state of issues related to the Multifunctional Resource Rooms and scholar inclusion of students with disabilities. With the ending of the presente work, can be concluded that, the students’ with desabilities inclusion, as well the Multifunctional Resource Rooms usage, still a great challenge to be worked on in the educational system. A new look at education is needed, since it’s possible, through public policies, promote accessibility and inclusion for students with desabilities, seeking to develop their skills during the teaching-learning process.

This study presents a discussion on the area of plane geometry or non-Euclidean geometry, having as focus the primitive ones of plane geometry: point, line and plane. As the name itself refers to this geometry is from the work of the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, whose work dates back to approximately 300 BC. As theoretical contribution was the theory of Didactic Transposition the French Yves Chevallard (1991), this theory refers briefly to the changes and transformations that you know suffers from your appearance in the scientific community to your entry in the living room class. A research on textbooks of mathematics 6th grade belonging to several times. On choice of textbooks of mathematics, were taken as the basis year of 1985, the date on which the creation of the National Textbook Program (PNLD) and the year of 1996 date of implementation of the new guidelines and Bases of Brazilian Education (LDB 9394/96). The textbooks of mathematics were chosen because they are one of the means used for the input of knowledge in the classroom. In this research paper was used qualitative research and documentation, the books were analyzed one by one, in order to understand how was the process of addressing the concepts of point, line and plane in math textbooks and the scientific community. The paper presents a theoretical discussion involving the textbooks, the PNLD and the work of Euclid-Elements.

The objective of this study was to identify the knowledge about chronic noncommunicable diseases (DCNT) and Physical Activity level of physical education teachers from the three largest state schools in Alegrete, RS, as well as to suggest a proposal for an active methodology to work with the theme in the classroom. In the study, a questionnaire was used to evaluate knowledge about the association between risk factors and CNCD. The mean age of the investigated individuals was 45 years, being four men and five women and the majority was considered physically active. When asked about Arterial Hypertension, Acute Myocardial Infarction and Obesity, most answered affirmatively about the four risk factors being associated; as for Diabetes Mellitus, the majority claimed to be caused by sedentary lifestyle and poor diet, with doubts about alcohol and denying that smoking could be a risk factor; the greatest divergence according to the literature was related to chronic diseases: Lung Cancer, Depression and Cirrhosis, and the risk factors Smoking and Abusive Alcohol Consumption. Considering the scientific literature, it is possible to infer that there is a need for continuous training regarding issues related to smoking and alcohol abuse and its association with DCNT. In this way, instigating the teacher to seek a more in-depth knowledge and scientific basis, will help him to be able to guide and assist in the prevention and promotion of adolescent / student health.

Published: March 2020

The complexity of the teaching profession associated to the new professional demands, from a social context in accelerated change triggered what Zaragoza (1999) called malaise in teaching profession. The teachers are before the consternation and difficulties of mutant demands and the continuous social criticism for failing to meet these new requirements. The present research aimed to verify the levels of motivation and satisfaction of the teachers of the municipal public network of Alegrete-RS. This study characterizes itself in relation to the objectives as descriptive; in relation to the procedures, it is a field research and in relation to the approach, it is a quantitative research. The data collection was carried out using the EMA questionnaire (Escala de Motivação Docente – Motivation Scale for Teachers), prepared by Davoglio and Santos (2016), and the sample consisted of seventeen teachers from both genders, male and female, of Elementary School – Final Years of three public schools of the municipality of Alegrete-RS. The results reveal that the analyzed teachers are truly satisfied and motivated to carry out their functions, and this do not characterizes aspects of teacher malaise. We evinced that the spaces of cooperation promoted by the schools, freedom of expression and of ideas and the recognition of the co-workers on the competence in teaching function were the most relevant aspects positively. The negative aspect in the analysis of the answers is related to the dissatisfaction and demotivation facing the remuneration for the work. The answers evince a good work environment in the evaluated schools, contributing to a satisfactory level of positive aspects that influence the teaching action.

The first general competence described in the National Curricular Common Base emphasizes the importance of the valorization and use of historically constructed knowledge about the world, recognizing the importance of teaching about the History and Nature of Science. These are fundamental components for a scientific school formation, where along aspects related to the theme of inclusion, potentiate the teaching process, allowing a greater interaction between science - classroom - students. In this proposal our objective is to guide, collaborate and facilitate the teaching of Cell Biology in the final years of elementary school, through a didactic sequence called "Knowing the history of cell discovery", "Knowing cells through didactic models" and "Building a Microscope", the methodology used was based on the researches developed by the authors in their dissertations in the area of Science Education, seeking to answer the following research problem "How to make scientific concepts about the teaching of cellular biology exceed the students' ability to abstract and become understandable?". Since many times the teaching of Cell Biology happens in a theoretical way and without contextualization, and because it is difficult to understand due to the high degree of abstraction of the students, we propose the didactic sequences to facilitate the teaching and learning of this subject. Each of these actions will be developed through active learning methodologies, valuing student participation and making them think about what they are learning. The use of the didactic sequence proposed in the teaching of Cell Biology uses the active methodologies, providing the students to awaken through the microscopic world, in a playful and fun way, providing students with active agents in their teaching and learning process.

. This research has as scope the verification of which are the main groups, lines of research and regions that worked with Didactics of the Sciences in Brazil between 2003-2012. For that, a study with qualitative approach, exploratory purposes, case study method and documentary collection was carried out. The data were collected on the website of the Directory of Research Groups in Brazil of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), using the keyword "didactics of science". It was verified that only two research groups dedicate themselves specifically to Science Didactics studies and that the two are in the Northeast Region. In addition, we identified seven lines of research focused on the production of knowledge about Science Didactics. It was concluded that this subarea of Education in Sciences has a great potential of growth in the country, since the dedication to the epistemological studies on the teaching phenomena still has to be consolidated in Brazil.

Opportunities for learning spaces is an expressive part of the teacher training courses, since it is understood that it is from these places that the students begin to constitute themselves as such, in practice teaching and extension projects are good access doors to the school, but in most cases, it is through the supervised stages that the first steps are taken. In this work we seek to draw a clipping concerning the formation of chemistry teachers, while attending the first two supervised stages, in order to verify the profile of these students and how the initial contact with the school space is reflected in the graduation and the option for teaching as professional career. To that end, the completion reports of 8 students attending the 5th and 6th semesters of the course were interviewed, observed during the evolution of the supervised internships and analyzed. The perceptionof the students in terms of time, their affinity with theory, the knowledge of the particularities of the classes, the acceptance that they are different and that there are no finished answers in the exercise of teaching are perceived in this process, are acquired with the coexistence close to teaching sites and in school spaces. As well, there is no homogeneous profile to be drawn in relation to the students, since each formative experience is individualizing and will give rise to a great diversity of teaching professionals. However, the supervised internships serve as a positive reinforcement to the perception of the activity by the future teachers.

The teacher is an important actor in most people's lives. Considering the importance of this professional of his of the Training and the existing Teaching Knowledge that composes his practice, we aim, in this work, to investigate an initial training course of biology teachers. In order to do so, we analyzed the Pedagogical Project of the Biological Sciences Degree Program of the Federal University of Santa Maria, which was in force and was restructured in 2005. We focused on the following aspects: (i) how the Practice as a Component is developed Curricular (CCP; (ii) what semesters the CCP occurs in; (iii) how Supervised Curriculum Stages (ECS) are developed, and (iv) how the disciplines are distributed in relation to the Knowledge of Professional Training and Disciplinary Knowledge. Based on our analysis, we realize that the Course is documented in accordance with Resolution CNE / CP 2/2002, which regulates the duration and the compulsory workload for Basic Education Teachers, both in relation to the CCP and ECS. We also found that, even though there are more integrative orientations regarding disciplinary training and pedagogical training, there is still a prevalence of training focused on the specific subject area, with little space for pedagogical training. We hope that with the new legislation that will come into force in July 2019, the Biological Sciences Degree Program of UFSM will be restructured so as to give greater emphasis to the disciplines related to pedagogical training, thus giving place to the formation of professional identity of the undergraduate students.

The complexity of the current reality, the changes in the area of health and public policies demand professionals in the medical field with integral conceptions of the human being, with a generalist education, more humanized and ethical. This has led medical schools to transform their pedagogical practices in search of active teaching and learning methodologies. Teacher training is essential in the process of curricular change. This research was developed with the purpose of understanding the experience of teachers of the medical course with their practice and with the formative space, and to communicate it through a theoretical model representative of this experienced process. It was a qualitative research conducted at a State Medical School in the countryside of São Paulo’s state, where medical professors from the first two and the last two years of the undergraduate course were interviewed. The methodological framework of the Theory Based on Data was followed and the theoretical saturation was given in the 19th interview. The theoretical model discovered indicates that the whole movement of the teacher must be valued by the spaces of educational development and educational management. Each professor can experience, in the same context, experiences that link or distance him from the proposed pedagogical model. The (re)construction of meanings for work comes from social interaction, experience of the method and development of co-management.

Study of the implemented actions by the Brazilian and Portuguese coordinators of the Graduate Programs of the areas of Librarianship, Information Sciences and Documentation for the internationalization and visibility of the academic and scientific work. This research is characterized as a study of multiple cases of qualitative-interpretative nature, using content analysis as a research technique. Its relevance lies in the field of Multimedia and Education and Information Science. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with the coordinators of the selected Programs as scenarios of this study, linked to Public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) located in Brazil and Portugal. The results present the internationalization actions developed by the respondents through agreements, agreements and cooperation established with professors / researchers from foreign universities, aiming at professional qualification, as well as the establishment of partnerships for the development of collaborative writing for publications of works, preferably , in English language in indexed journals, for the development of research projects, participation in international events such as lecturers or for presentation of papers, as well as evaluators of international journals. Considering the results demonstrated by the information gathered through the interviews, it is concluded that these subjects recognize the potential of internationalization as a prerequisite for the expansion of the prestige and recognition of these scientific communities.

This article is the result of a master's research carried out jointly with educators, learners and people involved in the education of young people and adults in general, and with the teaching of chemistry. Through this research, we seek to understand the process of formation of an educator of young people and adults, his uncertainties, limitations and the importance of rethinking actions and attitudes that happen every day and each experience lived while teaching for this specific teaching modality. Developed from the communicative methodology of research, this research had communicative observations, communicative life reports and discussion groups as its main instruments of data collection and involved an intersubjective analysis of the information collected. The results showed, for the most part, a teaching based on the mechanical memorization of chemical contents, the result of an initial training deficient that was commented by the teacher himself; and classes with content facilitated, summarized and focused more on the difficulties to learn than on the potentialities. Also transforming elements were observed, emphasizing the improvement of both academic learning and social interaction.
