Many institutes of higher learning (IHL) globally has implemented student evaluation of teaching (SET) in evaluating teaching quality among lecturer, The implementation of SET not only enhance the standard of teaching and learning and give an impact on students’ academic performance but also as critical decisions such as promotion, and for accreditation and governmental agencies that require such evaluations. Among the crucial components of SET were planning, teaching strategy, students’ participation, coursework assessment, soft skills and course quality. The study withal strives the development of teaching quality model by means of a SET. This study seek to rectify the argument that the teaching quality measured by a SET contributes to students’ academic performance. The teaching quality model and its relationship with students’ academic performance were evaluated by using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) approach as the sample size was too small to utilize Structural Equation Modelling-Analysis of Moment Structure (SEM-AMOS). A purposive sampling was utilized in this study involving 93 undergraduate students of Sultan Idris Education University's (UPSI) Mathematics Education Degree (BEd Maths) program. From the analysis, it revealed that all the relationships in the developed model were significant at p<0.001. The results indicated that the developed model was strengthened by empirical data and in-line with the preceding findings and theoretical framework. A part of teaching quality and students’ academic performance path model, the study also prosperously validated all the indicator variables depicted in SET constructs, these were planning, teaching strategy, students’ participation, coursework assessment, soft skills and course quality by means of structural equation model through PLS-SEM approach. In conclusions, the relationship between teaching quality and students’ academic performance not only be expressed in lower order components in PLS-SEM but also be modeled as a hierarchical component model where the teaching quality measured by a SET contributes to students’ academic performance and were supported by empirical data,

As vehicles count increases day by day, the fuel consumption is also increasing. With this tremendous increase in fuel consumption, fuel price is also increasing rapidly. By taking this as an advantage, fuel bunkers are stealing fuel and this cannot be noticed by users because we have no control over the machine. A monitoring system is required to track the fuel level. So, we are proposing a system that helps to indicate the quantity of fuel for the amount we have paid. A petrol level sensor that receives real time information about tank’s fuel level is used which is directly connected to the Arduino mega. A webpage is created to get the petrol cost. The page provides the user with an Admin username and password. The petrol cost is updated only through that webpage. Once the petrol cost is updated, then the IOT module used to receive the petrol cost and transmit it to the Arduino mega. For enabling the cost displaying feature, we have to provide a signal to the controller indicating the need for displaying the petrol cost that is to be added. Now once the switch is in pressed state, the 2.4 TFT display is used to display the petrol cost and when the key is denounced, the cost is reset to zero.

Bamboo has been identified as a structural element capable of satisfactorily absorbing tension and compression stresses, and, to a lesser proportion, parallel shear along its fibers, as well as bending with possibility of usage in buildings and as viable ecological alternative. The ultrastructure of the bamboo, from the Guadua Velutina species, obtained from the Vega Rica ejido in El Higo, Veracruz, Mexico, was characterized It was characterized the ultra structure of the bamboo, of the species Guadua velutina, obtained of the Ejido Vega Rica of the municipality El Higo, Veracruz, Mexico for use in the industry of the construction. Previously, pieces were tested to determine their mechanical properties: compression and shear parallel to the fiber, following the standards indicated in the methodology. Subsequently, the microscopic analysis of longitudinal and transverse sections of this anisotropic material, with variable porosity in its walls, was carried out. It was found that the arrangement and shape of its fibers that give rise to its porosity is correlated with its resistance to the different stresses to which it is subjected and that its porosity also decreases in joints zones, where its fibers have no defined direction. These findings are important because they make it possible to recognize the durability of the material in such a way that they can be considered in the construction of structural elements.

The swelling and shrinkage characteristics of clay soil types cause many problems in civil engineering works like Laying, buildings and roads constructions. These soil types tend to put challenges to civil engineers as their shearing strength and bearing capacity are extremely low. Many studies have been made to rectify these challenges by using different materials and various innovative ways that could possibly improve the soil engineering properties, as well as reduce environmental hazards in a cost-effective way. This study focuses on the use of areca nut husk ash and cement as admixture to improve the stabilization properties of clay and red clay soil types. The stabilization of soil was tested by adopting the standard methods such as Atterberg’s limit test, Standard proctor test and unconfined compressive strength test by mixing equal proportion of admixture to both soil types with varying percentages of clay (0%, 3%, 4%, 6% and 8%) and red clay (0%, 2%, 3% and 4%) soils. From the results, it was observed that clay soil with 6% of admixture and red clay with 3% admixture were optimum and the findings clearly showed that the stability of clay and red clay soil, can be improved by admixture containing areca nut husk ash and cement and this can be used as a good ground improvement technique in engineering projects.

The lower band and mid band ‘5G’ are known to use the frequencies in the range of 600 MHz – 6 GHz worldwide, especially 3.5GHz to 4.2GHz. A new modified multi slot compact planar ultra-wideband Microstrip patch antenna with a split ground plane has been proposed in this paper. The size of the antenna occupies volume of 34x30x1.7 (1734 mm^3) which has been designed on a FR4 epoxy substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4. In order to provide dual wideband characteristics, a ‘T and G ’shaped slots with split ground plane using line feeding structure has been used. The effects on the return losses v/s frequency for the antenna using different substrates with varying dielectric constants for the same dimensions has been studied in this paper. The proposed antenna operates in dual band with first band being a narrow band ranging from 1.92GHz to 2.06GHz and the second band is an ultra-wide band which ranges from 3.40 GHz to 9.6 GHz. The split ground plane and slot size variations in the T and G slot geometry helps in retrieving the dual bands. The proposed antenna is covering applications from LTE band No 40, UMTS IMT-2000, Wimax (3.5/5.55GHz), ISM WLAN 5.2/5.8GHz and RFID etc. The direct line feeding method which uses a 50Ω line with width of W=3mm has been used for the micro-strip line. With split ground plane, coupling between the slots plays role for achieving the good bandwidth. The analysis of return loss (dB), bandwidth, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of patch antenna with different substrates and variation of the sizes of slots in shapes has been performed using HFSS tool [12] and results has been studied in this paper.

Rumo ao Moderno Príncipe
Authors: Thomas Peter
Published: October 2019

Desde as primeiras publicações dos Cadernos do Cárcere até hoje, se argumentou com frequência que a metáfora do moderno Príncipe deveria ser entendida meramente como um “código” para um Partido Comunista, concebido tanto em continuação com uma concepção de partido onde vigesse o centralismo democrático “leninista” quanto como uma alternativa “marxista ocidental” a ele, dependendo das predisposições particulares dos intérpretes. Este artigo esclarece as condições em que Gramsci construiu esta caracterização em sua obra.
O Crepúsculo da dialética: Foucault contra Gramsci
Authors: Alessandroni Emiliano
Published: October 2019

Qual é a relação entre o pensamento de Michel Foucault e aquele de Antonio Gramsci? As teorias do filósofo francês podem ser consideradas uma evolução ou uma involução cultural para aquele que tem em conta os processos de emancipação? O presente artigo analisa, de maneira comparada, as principais categorias dos dois intelectuais. A diferença maior entre eles, não diz respeito apenas ao modo de pensar a transformação da realidade, mas a ideia mesma de realidade. Se em Gramsci podemos observar o esforço de pensar de modo dialético, o juízo de Foucault, ao contrário, parece caracterizado por um modo pré-dialético de conceber o mundo e as suas estruturas. O pensamento de Foucault não corresponde àquela constelação de ideias que emerge após a Revolução de Outubro, parecendo frequentemente colocar-se em oposição a esta. Categorias como “imperialismo”, “capitalismo”, “luta de classe” desaparecem, na verdade, em sua perspectiva. Diversamente das teorias de Gramsci, aquelas esposadas por Michel Foucault mostram uma maior aproximação com o liberalismo e a revolução conservadora do que com o marxismo.
Ideais estéticos e políticos em disputa pelos artistas figurativos e abstratos no Brasil dos anos 1950 e 1960
Authors: Naclério Forte Graziela
Published: October 2019

Após uma década e meia de visibilidade (1930-1945), a arte social figurativa perdia espaço para a arte abstrata que contava com o apoio da Associação Internacional de Críticos de Arte (Aica) e profissionais associados à instituição, como Mário Pedrosa. Durante os anos 1950 e início dos 1960, várias foram as divergências e o debate se intensificou entre essas duas tendências. Foi nesse contexto que seis artistas assinaram, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, o “Manifesto dos Artistas Modernos Independentes” (1960), em uma evidente referência ao “Manifesto por uma Arte Revolucionária Independente” (1938). Reivindicavam a permanência deles e da arte figurativa no mundo das artes, e portanto, tinham como propósito chamar a atenção dos críticos, jurados dos salões e contratantes de um modo geral. Tal fato evidencia um período de disputas internas pela adoção da estética ideal, além da legitimação e consagração dos artistas, em uma época de grandes mudanças dos referenciais artísticos.
A VONTADE GERAL E O SISTEMA AUTOGESTIONÁRIO: NECESSIDADE, POSSIBILIDADE E DESAFIOS

Published: October 2019

Consistindo em um processo ético-jurídico de deliberação coletiva, o que se impõe à manifestação da Vontade Geral como um fenômeno histórico-cultural é a condição de imanência que a caracteriza em um movimento dinâmico-dialético que demanda uma formação econômico-social que possibilite a emergência de valores e práticas, condutas e comportamentos, necessidades e objetivos que, tendo como fundamento o interesse comum, se lhe correspondam, convergindo para uma forma de autodeterminação que guarda possibilidade de promover a superação da alienação das capacidades humanas no contexto das relações socioprodutivas, a saber, a autogestão. Tal experiência social de autodeterminação coletiva, conforme assinala o artigo, envolve tanto a esfera política quanto o âmbito econômico (trabalho) e encerra a noção que implica desde a igualdade substancial (concreta) até a efetiva participação política, sobrepondo-se ao viés mercadológico da organização econômico-social vigente e à estrutura burocrática corporificada pelo Estado no sistema capitalista.

Published: October 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo compreender a percepção dos profissionais de ensino frente ao sofrimento no trabalho. Para tal foi realizado um estudo de caso com professores que atuam com os anos finais do ensino fundamental e com o ensino médio, na cidade de Imbituva, no Paraná. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevista semi-estruturada, com uma interpretação qualitativa dos dados, no mês de agosto de 2014. A análise dos dados deu-se através da Análise dos Núcleos de Significação, que buscam compreender mais intensamente a subjetividade dos entrevistados. O alto índice de rotatividade e absenteísmo apresentado por essa categoria profissional sugere que os mesmos são submetidos a situações degradantes de trabalho desencadeando um processo de sofrimento no trabalho. A partir da análise dos dados pode-se concluir que esses profissionais percebem-se desvalorizados não somente no ambiente de trabalho, bem como no âmbito social, desencadeando sentimento de insatisfação, incerteza e indignação, fatores geradores do sofrimento no trabalho.
PREVENCIÓN DE LA VIOLENCIA EN LOS NOVIAZGOS ADOLESCENTES DENTRO DEL MARCO ESCOLAR
Authors: KRYNVENIUK Marta , CUMAN Graciela
Published: October 2019

Con la sanción de la Ley de Educación Sexual Integral (REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA, 2006) se abren nuevos espacios en las escuelas para abordar diferentes problemáticas que, desde una perspectiva de género y derechos humanos, dan cuenta de la necesidad de remover patrones socio-culturales que siguen sosteniendo la desigualdad de género. Observamos en las adolescentes la coexistencia de mandatos amorosos tradicionales propios del siglo XIX que las siguen sujetando, dejándolas en una posición de subordinación en pleno siglo XXI dando cuenta de la vigencia de los discursos y prácticas patriarcales, sobre todo desde lo que denominamos la educación amorosa y de lo que se espera sobre lo que es ser mujer. Nuestro trabajo tiene como objetivo ayudar a desarmar tempranamente esos mecanismos vinculados a la idealización del amor romántico, mostrando en realidad las contradicciones, tensiones y los resortes de dominio que aparecen teñidos de buenas intenciones, dando cuenta así de la socialización de género diferenciada para mujeres y varones. De allí la necesidad de ir construyendo otra cultura social que implique una nueva ética amorosa, desechando el amor como dominación sino para entenderlo como posibilidad para realizarse, en plenitud y libertad, desde las acciones concretas de la vida cotidiana.

Objetiva-se discutir neste artigo a relação entre o principal sujeito coletivo da modernidade – os Partidos Políticos –, bem como a relação que tal sujeito estabelece com as classes sociais na sociedade contemporânea. Nesse sentido, buscar-se-á cotejar as concepções de partido presentes nas torias sociais de Jügen Habermas e Antonio Gramsci. Tal questão torna-se de fundamental importância visto que o filósofo político alemão em questão, em sua teoria social, negara a filosofia do sujeito e a centralidade da consciência, no processo constitutivo do projeto que compreendera enquanto modernidade inacabada; enquanto que, por outro lado, o filósofo político italiano, a partir de sua filosofia da práxis, compreendera enquanto centrais tais questões, tanto para a constituição do partido, quanto para sua manutenção. O que nos leva a própria dimensão do papel e função social do intelectual no processo constitutivo do consenso e de administração e organização da vida social.
PILHAGEM: QUANDO O ESTADO DE DIREITO É ILEGAL
Authors: BRASIL Guilherme Mungo , NICOLAU Paola Cristina , LUNA Rafael de Oliveira
Published: October 2019

A obra Pilhagem: quando o Estado de Direito é ilegal revela de forma clara e sem meandros as particularidades das práticas de pilhagem, expressão que vem ganhando mais espaço no recente cenário da globalização econômica através da usurpação de vulneráveis em proveito dos mais poderosos. Os autores evidenciam, a partir de um viés contra-hegemônico, o Estado de Direito como instrumento ocidental de implementação e manutenção desse processo causador de disparidades nas relações entre atores internacionais, entre os quais, na maioria das vezes, estampa esse sistema como principal assegurador das garantias individuais.

A BANALIZAÇÃO DA VIOLÊNCIA E O PENSAMENTO DE HANNAH ARENDT: UM DEBATE OU UM COMBATE?
Authors: SAADI TOSI Lamia Jorge
Published: October 2019

Resumo: Esse artigo tem como objetivo problematizar uma espécie de naturalização contemporânea da violência. Ao tratar o tema, busca evidenciar a violência como um dos aspectos mais salientes da vida que, em nossos dias, se manifesta como instrumento ou como ação – em níveis e esferas variadas da convivência. Se o mundo muda permeado por ações violentas, as ações violentas tornam o mundo mais violento,notadamente quando os meios violentos se tornam indispensáveis para a manutenção de negócios e garantia de poder. Os aspectos da violência aqui tratados têm como fio condutor o pensamento de Hannah Arendt e perpassam a escola, os conflitos de gênero, a Primavera Árabe entre outros movimentos sociopolíticos que reclamam o vigor dessa contribuição. Sobretudo, quando ela adverte da possibilidade de revivescência de totalitarismos, da banalização da maldade e radicalização de males sociais que podem ser minimizados pelas “Revoluções Arendtianas” em favor da dignidade humana sem dominação e com empoderamento.Palavras-chave: Hannah Arendt. Violência; Gênero; Escola; Empoderamento. Abstract: This article seeks to problematize a kind of contemporary naturalization of violence. In dealing with the theme, this text seeks to highlight violence as one of the most salient aspects of life that, in our day, manifests as an instrument or as an action - at varying levels and spheres of coexistence. If the world changes by violent actions, they change it to a more violent world, especially when violent means become indispensable for the maintenance of business and guarantee of being in power. The aspects of violence discussed here have Hannah Arendt's thinking as its guiding principle: school, gender conflicts, the Arab Spring, among other sociopolitical movements that claim the force of this contribution, especially when she warns about the possibility of violence. Revival of totalitarianism, banalization of evil and radicalization of social evils that can be minimized by the "Arendtian Revolutions" in favor of human dignity without domination and with empowermentKeywords: Hannah Arendt; Violence; Genre; School; Empowerment.
SISTEMA INTERAMERICANO DE DIREITOS HUMANOS, UMA ABORDAGEM BIOPOLÍTICA
Authors: MENCATO Stephany Dayana Pereira
Published: October 2019

Resumo: O presente artigo se divide em duas etapas, uma análise bibliográfica acerca da constituição do Sistema Interamericano de proteção e garantia aos Direitos Humanos, e uma análise teórica a partir da teoria biopolítica de Michael Foucault, percebendo-se a possibilidade da crítica por meio do conceito de interseccionalidade de Kimberlé Crenshawe decolonial de Aníbal Quíjano. Busca-se a perspectiva de um direito humano crítico, compreendendo que ao se debater juridicamente em separado sobreposições e categorias de injustiças sociais, poder-se-á levar a invisibilizações frente ao sistema de proteção, tendo-se como exemplo o caso concreto das mulheres não heterossexuais. Palavras-chave: Direitos Humanos; Biopolítica; Interseccionalidade; Decolonialidade; gênero. Abstract: This article is divided in two stages, a bibliographical analysis about the constitution of the Inter-American System of protection and guarantee to the Human Rights, and a theoretical analysis from the biopolitical theory of Michael Foucault, perceiving the possibility of the critic by means of the concepto fintersecctionality of Kimberlé Crenshaw and decolonial of Aníbal Quíjano. It seeks the perspective of a critical human right, understanding that in discussing legally separate overlaps and categories of social injustices, it will be possible to lead to invisibilizations in front of the protection system, taking as an example the concrete case of don’t straight women.Key Words: Human Rights; Biopolitics; Intersectionality; Decoloniality; genre.
O MÉTODO CLÍNICO PIAGETIANO E SUA APLICAÇÃO EM PESQUISAS SOBRE DESENVOLVIMENTO MORAL: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: MARQUEZINI Cristiane Pereira , SILVA Izabella Alvarenga , CRUZ Luciana Nogueira da , FERREIRA Julia Neves
Published: October 2019

O estudo apresenta pesquisas sobre desenvolvimento moral amparadas no método clínico piagetiano. Tal método foi considerado pioneiro ao propor nova formatação para a investigação do desenvolvimento infantil. Os procedimentos também foram aplicados por Piaget em suas pesquisas sobre o desenvolvimento moral, mostrando-se eficazes. Desde então, vários estudos foram realizados utilizando o modelo. Assim, neste artigo, realizamos revisão de literatura objetivando verificar o emprego do método em pesquisas sobre moral nos últimos cinco anos. Concluímos que os estudos do epistemólogo (método e orientação do juízo moral) subsidiam número significativo de estudos, demonstrando a sua importância e atualidade.
JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU, ÉDOUARD CLAPARÈDE E JEAN PIAGET: APONTAMENTOS ACERCA DA IDEIA DE EDUCAÇÃO FUNCIONAL
Authors: MACHADO Diandra Dal Sent
Published: October 2019

Neste trabalho, apresentamos a proposta de educação funcional desenvolvida por Édouard Claparède, considerando a influência da concepção epistêmico-pedagógica de Jean-Jacques Rousseau sobre essa proposta. Em seguida, propo-mos a influência de Rousseau sobre a epistemologia de Jean Piaget, tanto pela influência de Claparède no pensamento piagetiano quanto pelo viés do enten-dimento de que a razão não está dada como pronta, mas que é algo a ser cons-truído pelo sujeito em suas relações com o meio (objeto), e que essa construção se dá a partir do funcionamento do organismo.
EDUCAÇÃO MORAL PARA O PERDÃO EM CRIANÇAS
Authors: ABREU Eloá Losano de , MOREIRA Pollyana de Lucena , RIQUE NETO Júlio
Published: October 2019

This article presents the results of an intervention for forgiveness performed with 17 children with a mean age of 7 years and 6 months (SD = 0.70). The method used was quasi-experimental, with participants responding to an Inter-view of Forgiveness at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. After the initial interview, participants were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The children of the experimental group participated in the ac-tivities for forgiveness outlined for the intervention. The children of the control group were kept in the normal classes of the institution. The results indicated that forgiveness was associated with apology and reconciliation. The compari-son between the pre-test and the post-test showed that children in the experi-mental group had a significant increase in the degree of forgiveness, a signifi-cant decrease in the degree of anger, and an increase in the frequency of for-giveness as a choice for the resolution of interpersonal conflicts. In conclusion, for children in this age group, apology and reconciliation function as represen-tations of forgiveness.

Importância da transferência da imunidade passiva para asobrevivência de bezerros neonatos
Authors: Feitosa Francisco Leydson Formiga
Published: October 2019

A transferência de imunidade passiva para os bezerros neonatos, via colostro, é, sem dúvida, o fator mais importante para a sua sobrevivência. O primeiro leite secretado contém anticorpos específicos capazes de fazer frente às principais enfermidades encontradas no meio ambiente. Uma ingestão ou absorção inadequada de anticorpos matemos tem sido associada a uma maior ocorrência de morbidade e mortalidade em bezerros recém-nascidos. Uma falha de transferência de imunidade passiva pode ocorrer por uma deficiência na produção de colostro, na ingestão de colostro pelo animal neonato e/ou na absorção das imunoglobulinas presentes no mesmo.
