Graduates of Private Schools and the Greek University: Empirical data and sociological interpretations through the period of crisis
Authors: Fotopoulos Nikos Fotopoulos , Zagkos Christos , Fatourou Polina
Published: January 2020

Ιn modern Greece, the entrance in higher education is considered a kind of social 'fetish'. In this concept, the Greek family diachronically strives to provide its members with an academic perspective, even if this parental choice is linked to many economic and psychological sacrifices. Private education is often associated with the perspective of a better academic and career prospect which is necessarily linked to entrance procedures at the Greek university. During the period (2001-2011) the representation of private school graduates in the total student population seems to be under "representative normality”. Additionally, private school students appear to have the same overall possibilities (neither less nor more) with public school graduates into higher education. However, a deeper sociological analysis demonstrates significant differences in the representation of higher education between public and private schools. This report focuses on private school graduates and more generally on the interpretation of how their entrance into higher education is portrayed.
MIGRATION AND THE TRANS-NATIONALISATION OF AFRICAN PENTECOSTALISM IN EUROPE
Authors: Olorunnisola Titus S.
Published: January 2020

Migration, the movement of people from one geographical location to another is an indispensable component of globalisation which has impacted the latter with visible effects. Neo-Pentecostal Christian movements from different parts of Africa have seized the advantage of both migration and globalization to advance their missionary causes. This has resulted in planting new churches and organization of para-church ministries and outreaches in different parts of Europe and elsewhere.

Using the Critical Integrated Analysis (CIA) method, which seeks to generate data from the existing body of knowledge, the article explored the trajectories of African migration vis-à-vis the penetration of African-led Pentecostal churches in some part of Europe. This process has stemmed encounters between the European and African cultures plus the hurdle of navigating the cultural nuances of the Europeans.

The article discovered that although there are shreds of evidence of growth among African-led migrant churches, more grounds need to be covered. It suggested that migrant churches need to structure their ministries and organisations in ways that propel appropriate cultural engagement with their host communities to enable them to influence and transform their immediate social realities.
The Merchant of Venice: An Allegorical Equation of Art and Commodity
Authors: Pakdamanshahri Fatemeh (Sara)
Published: January 2020

John Cage narrates: “...Somebody said that Brecht wanted everybody to think alike. I want everybody to think alike... Everybody looks alike and acts alike, and we’re getting more and more that way. I think everybody should be a machine. I think everybody should be alike.” The interviewer asks Cage: “Isn’t that like pop art?” And consequently, Cage responds: “Yes, that’s what pop art is, liking things.”1

Shakespeare’s plays have long been put under scrutiny, praised, and devalued through various theoretical lenses. Regardless of the innumerable doctrines against which his tragedies and comedies have been over-analyzed, tending to his art in terms of the essence of his works, the artistry of them seems more than crucial. Morality, ethics and individual and collective philosophical readings of Shakespearean plays have coexisted with and mirrored in words, hence literature. There seems to be no way out but to weigh Shakespearean plays against these impossibly heavy concepts. This paper intends to undergo an ethical reading of The Merchant of Venice, through the ideas of Emmanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham. Consequent to the ethical reading of The Merchant of Venice, the artistic value(s) of it will be discussed; whether one is blessed with an artistic sense or otherwise is a question to be tended to.

Slovak Realia in the Czech Translation of the Novel The House of the Deaf Man by Peter Krištúfek in Contrast to its English Translation
Authors: Kniazkova Viktoria
Published: January 2020

The article deals with two groups of realia in the Slovak novel by Peter Krištúfek (1973–2018). The first one are those concerning Slovak traditional culture, which are used in a form of theatrical scenery by the author. The second one are those connected with Slovak identity, as the writer understands it. The article offers the comparative analysis of the Slovak text with its translations into Czech and English. The conclusion is made about different translators’ strategies according to the translation purpose and extralinguistic circumstances and the necessity of the Czech translations of Slovak fiction despite the unique closeness of these two Slavic languages.
»Poláci nám říkají Pepíci« – obraz Czechów w polskojęzycznych przewodnikach turystycznych
Authors: Olchowa Gabriela
Published: January 2020

Celem niniejszego artykułu było przedstawienie obrazu Czechów na podstawie sześciu polskojęzycznych przewodników turystycznych opublikowanych przez najważniejsze wydawnictwa podróżnicze w Polsce w latach 2004–2011. Materiał do badań stanowiły teksty, prezentujące podstawowe informacje zamieszczone w częściach wstępnych lub końcowych bedekerów, przy czym nie brano pod uwagę elementów graficznych. Na obraz złożyły się cechy charakteru przypisywane Czechom, wskazano ich zwyczaje, ale także opisano jak spędzają wolny czas i obchodzą święta. Ponadto zawarto ocenę pewnych grup zawodowych oraz przybliżono, jaki mają stosunek do mniejszości etnicznych i seksualnych. Okazało się, że obraz Czechów jest tożsamy w badanych tekstach i w większości zgodny z istniejącymi stereotypami. Autorzy przewodników kreślą przede wszystkim pozytywny obraz południowego sąsiada, ale zwracają też uwagę na nieprzyjazny stosunek Czechów do Romów.

Two Faces of Flow: Preliminary Results From a Game Addiction Study
Authors: Skok Katarzyna
Published: January 2020

This study aims to explore the ambiguous nature of flow and the way it relates to inclination towards addiction. The results of an exploratory factor analysis indicate that the flow experienced by players has at least two components which are called in this study hedonistic flow (direct pleasure seeking) and eudaimonistic flow (escapism). The results of the regression analysis show that 54.4% of the variance of Internet addiction is accounted for by life competence, eudaimonistic flow in a game, excitement as an emotion experienced while playing a game and annoyance as an emotion experienced when it is not possible to play.
On the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to parabolic variational inequalities
Authors: Colombo Maria , Spolaor Luca , Velichkov Bozhidar
Published: January 2020

We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Łojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in the fact that, since the constraint is non-analytic, the pioneering method of L. Simon ([22]) does not apply and we have to exploit a better understanding on the constraint itself. We then apply this inequality to two associated problems. First we combine it with an abstract result on parabolic variational inequalities, to prove the convergence at infinity of the strong global solutions to the parabolic obstacle and thin-obstacle problems to a unique stationary solution with a rate.
Secondly, we give an abstract proof, based on a parabolic approach, of the epiperimetric inequality, which we then apply to the singular points of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems.

A Description of the Characteristics and Behaviors of Master Teachers in Nursing
Authors: McMillian-Bohler Jacquelyn , Copel Linda , Todd-Magel Catherine
Published: January 2020

Master teachers are associated with achieving excellence in teaching; however, there are no research studies that describe master teachers in nursing. Based on an analysis of interview responses from eleven, experienced, full-time, undergraduate nurse educators, this qualitative study offers an empirically based description of characteristics and behaviors of master teachers in nursing. This description of master teachers provides nurse educators with characteristics and behaviors that may be needed to develop a master teacher practice. Increasing the number of master teachers in nursing could have implications for creating teaching criteria to evaluate teaching practice and develop professional development activities.
Indigenous Museum Curatorship in the United States and Canada: Roles and Responsibilities
Authors: Vamanu Iulian
Published: January 2020

Indigenous curatorship has become an increasingly visible presence in the public sphere as part of the long process of North American Native people’s efforts to regain control over the representations and uses of their cultures in Western societies. Even though scholars consider this profession fundamental to Native American struggles for sovereignty, many do not have a clear understanding of what it involves. In the context of scarce scholarship on Indigenous curatorship, this qualitative study relies on interview and textual data to articulate Indigenous curators’ understandings of their work of preserving and promoting Indigenous knowledge. It emphasizes the uniqueness of Indigenous curatorship by mapping out this profession’s specific roles and responsibilities within the broader arena of museum curatorship. The study identifies two main directions Indigenous curators take in their work, namely activism and engagement of the public. Activism consists in Indigenous curators’ efforts to critique oppressive knowledge structures, raise awareness of controversial topics of public interest related to Indigeneity, and support Native artists and tribal communities. Engagement of the public refers to Indigenous curators’ strategies of involving source communities in the design of exhibits and diverse audiences in the interpretation of exhibitions.
Carbon nanomaterials: synthesis and applications to development of electrochemical sensors in determination of drugs and compounds of clinical interest
Authors: Porto Laís S. , Silva Daniela N. , de Oliveira Ana Elisa F. , Pereira Arnaldo C. , Borges Keyller B.
Published: January 2020

It is notorious that researches related to electrochemical sensors increased significantly due the promising characteristics that these devices present such as the possibility of obtaining information, with minimum manipulation of the studied system, in real time, and with low environmental impact. This article covers the carbon nanomaterials, presenting important aspects such as main properties, synthesis methods, and the application of these materials in the development of electrochemical sensors for the analysis of drugs and compounds of clinical interest. In this context, drug analysis is extremely important for quality control, to ensure that the medicine fulfills its role effectively without possible complications that could compromise the patient’s health and quality of life. In addition, analytical methods capable of determining compounds of clinical interest in biological fluids are extremely important for the indication of effective diagnoses. Thus, the versatility, selectivity, and portability of the electroanalytical techniques make the electrochemical sensors a favorite tool for the determination of drugs and compounds of clinical interest. It will be possible to follow in the present work that carbon nanomaterials have excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, strong adsorption capacity, high electrocatalytic effect, high biocompatibility, and high surface area. The possibility of formation of different composite materials based on carbonaceous nanomaterials that makes these materials promising for the development of analytical sensors, contributing to rapid, sensitive, and low-cost analyses can also be highlighted.
Characterization of Freeze-Thaw Resistance of New-to-Old Concrete Based on the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method
Authors: Zhu Hongguang , Fan Jingchong , Yi Cheng , Ma Hongqiang , Chen Hongyu , Shi Jing , Xu Xiaonan
Published: January 2020

The adhesive interface in new-to-old concrete widely occurs in the concrete structure, and the adhesion assessment for freeze-thaw (F-T) resistance is hardly focused on. To evaluate the F-T resistance of adhesive interfaces in new-to-old concrete with a nondestructive method, this experiment was conducted with ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). Specimens with the same natural roughness were obtained using three-dimension printing technology. The surface roughness was measured via the sand replacement method. The traditional evaluation that the decrease of relative dynamic elastic modulus under 60 % represents the failure of concrete F-T resistance has a limitation in new-to-old concrete structures. A new characterization method of F-T resistance in adhesive interface for new-to-old concrete was proposed based on the variation trend of UPV in parallel direction (UPV-PD) and vertical direction (UPV-VD). The UPV-VD loss ratio had a three-stage characteristic and a steady phase, which was different from the loss ratio of splitting tensile strength in numerical value. The results showed that the UPV-PD loss ratio grew linearly in the process of F-T cycles. Moisture content was the dominant influence on the numerical difference. This difference can be eliminated based on a correction method. The variation trend of the UPV loss ratio in adhesive interfaces was similar to that of splitting tensile strength, and the obvious turning points appeared after similar F-T cycles. The characterization method of F-T resistance proposed in this article is applicable to evaluate the F-T resistance of adhesive interfaces in new-to-old concrete, which is also proved by splitting tensile test results.
Music, Melancholia, and Mania: Gaetano Brunetti's Obsessional Symphony
Authors: Pesic Peter
Published: January 2020

In his symphony “Il maníatico” (1780), Gaetano Brunetti gave a musical portrayal of monomania decades before it became a staple of nineteenth-century alienism (psychiatry), as well as of Romantic music and art. A detailed analysis of his symphony shows both the presenting features of what he called manía as well as the stages of the “maniac's” interaction with the surrounding “normal” world. These stages respond to widely known mental peculiarities of several generations of Spanish royalty, whom Brunetti served as court composer. Though its court audience would likely have compared this portrayal of obsession to Cervantes's Don Quixote, Brunetti's symphony may also have sent a coded message of sympathy to his patron, the crown prince who would later reign as Carlos IV and who struggled with his obsessional father, then reigning as Carlos III. At the same time, Brunetti mocked Luigi Boccherini, his rival as court composer. By presenting a subversive reimagining of the “normal” symphonic world, Brunetti characterized the mannerisms of classical style as monomania writ large. In the following decades, the term fixe Idee emerged in German literature and usage considerably before the French idée fixe. Both concepts emerged from literary, rather than medical, sources. Though Don Quixote remained a touchstone for reflections on “madness,” Brunetti's symphony anatomized obsession decades before medical discourse gave its clinical description.
Sound as Hermeneutic, or Helmholtz and the Quest for Objective Perception
Authors: Trippett David
Published: January 2020

In 1878, at the height of his fame, Helmholtz asked what was objective in perception, declaring that—in contrast to empirical science—it is the “artist [who] has beheld the real.” His lecture sought to show how sensory perception can be law-like, and how the effects of art are ultimately grounded in such law-likeness. Such a claim for an objective measure of perception was not unprecedented, yet it failed to distinguish cleanly between what is objective and what is real, opening up a discursive space regarding what sound “is,” and what its objective perception may be. Its arguments followed calls for “a science of beauty” based on number, and was motivated, in part, by Helmholtz's attempt to distance himself from the “weaknesses of Romanticism.” This articles argues that Helmholtz's bold claims were only possible on the basis of the writings of German materialists during the 1840s and 50s, and because sound had been figured for decades as an ambiguous object.

On this basis, the article considers the role of sound within epistemological debates over sense perception and concepts of the real during the later nineteenth century. It examines the ways in which sound's abstract character became co-opted within Anglo-German discourse concerning objective perception and the scientifically real, initially through the lens of Helmholtz's 1878 lecture, but later broadening this focus to include the mid-century architects of a philosophical materialism, as well as their detractors. A closing case study, a closely documented wager between a geologist and a philosopher about the “real” of sound ca. 1850, demonstrates the imaginative uses of sound as a metonym for philosophical debate. This raises questions about the relation of sensation and number, the contested affinity between sound and concepts of the absolute, and the underlying desire to possess objects of sensory experience.

Authenticity and commercialization. Cambodian theatre in a postcolonial perspective
Authors: Delimata Maria
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the problem of authenticity and commercialization in the context of the postcolonial theatre in Cambodia. It seems that contemporary art in this country depends on foreign funds and at the same time on the special taste of – mainly – Western donors. The author tries to show, that the epithet “pure Cambodian” is very often used to make art more interesting to tourists. A similar situation can be seen in the crucifixions in Cutud (which annually takes place in a Philippine province – Pampanga with a wide touristic audience) and in Balinese theatre (another good example of a postcolonial, hybrid identity). Moreover, a discourse of the battle between “traditional” and “touristic” points of view does not have one answer. The search for purity can be a cause of petrifying traditional forms, as well as a sign of neocolonialism and (self-)orientalisation. On the other hand, a dialogue between indigenous artists and the others, tourists, may give the art a new profile and new meaning.
Young ethnic German late resettlers from Poland –“(quasi)-forced nature of migration” vs. success of integration
Authors: Tomaszewska Magdalena
Published: January 2020

“(Late) resettlers”, or to put it in simple terms, people of German ancestry who came to Germany from Eastern Europe after World War II, constitute a peculiar case within the spectrum of German migration. On one hand, they are distinct from foreigners, on the other hand, despite having German citizenship, they stand out from the native German population.L. Wilkiewicz refers to this category as “quasi-forced resettlers”. The forced nature of the young resettlers migration may then be seen as doubly strengthened by the fact that they had no impact on their parents decision to leave the country. They were, in a sort of way, uprooted from their original environment and planted into a new, alien one. Having accepted German citizenship and having been attributed the purpose of “living as Germans among Germans”, the resettlers were expected to show a higher degree of integration with local society than “ordinary” migrants. In this study, I shall confine myself to a few selected aspects affecting the success of integration. Presented below are some of the memories that the young resettlers have of the moment of their “(quasi)-forced” migration, of their early days in Germany, of Poland as the country of their childhood, of the reasons for departure as given by their parents, and of the main factors – apart from those personality-related such as intelligence –that contributed to their successful integration.
The propaganda World in the prose of the first half of the 1950s. Persuasivestrategies, conventions, language stereotypes
Authors: Sałdecka Karolina
Published: January 2020

The world depicted in selected novels of the first half of the 1950s functions as a “semantic effect”, precisely shaped by the propaganda of that period. This world is created by narration in order to present the fulfillment of production goals. As a result, we deal with a new reality in which the characters are portrayed first and foremost as manufacturers. Feelings and emotions and their importance are replaced by labor. New civic and social patterns imposed in the novels are to prove that the socialist system is absolutely positive. In order to obtain this goal, primarily lexemes and language constructions are employed, consolidated and repeated in the texts; language conventions that guarantee the coherence of the model of the propaganda-created world. The world presented in the novels set outside Szczecin is narrowed to merely a few thematic fields that are worth discussing.
First records of Myriostoma calongei Baseia, Sousa & Martín (Geastraceae, Basidiomycota) in central Brazil
Authors: Camilo-Cotrim Carlos Filipe , Leonardo-Silva Lucas , Xavier-Santos Solange
Published: January 2020

Myriostoma Desv. is a genus of gasteroid fungi, distinguished from the other star-shaped fungi by the basidioma morphology with multiple pedicels and multi-stomata endoperidium. Studies based on phylogenetic, morphological characteristics and geographical distribution allowed the delimitation of five species in the genus. In Brazil, it is represented by M. calongei Baseia, Sousa & Martín, which distribution was restricted to South and Northeast regions. The present study describes the first records of Myriostoma in central Brazil, including Cerrado biome and Central-West region, thus expanding the known geographic distribution in the country.
First record of Lepus timidus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic (Lagomorpha, Leporidae)
Authors: Spitsyn Vitaly M. , Bolotov Nikita
Published: January 2020

Mountain hare (Lepus timidus) is a widespread species that lives throughout the continental tundra zone of Eurasia, as well as over the greater part of the northern forest zone. For a long time, the presence of the mountain hare in the fauna of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago was assumed. However, documented evidence from the archipelago was lacking. In 2017, two fragments of the lower jaw of a single specimen were found in the Bezymyannaya Bay area on Yuzhny Island, Novaya Zemlya, Russia. This record confirms the presence of the species on the archipelago, while its status remains unclear. The jaw fragments from Novaya Zemlya contained dry meat remnants, indicating that this individual died relatively recently (i.e., no more than 10 years ago). It is likely that the species periodically visits the archipelago, without forming a viable population there.

A PARTICIPAÇÃO SOCIAL NO CONTEXTO ATUAL: BREVES CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE O ORÇAMENTO PARTICIPATIVO NA CIDADE DO NATAL-RN
Authors: Guerra Joanna De Oliveira , Tacconi Neto Ernesto Alexandre
Published: January 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a realização do Orçamento Participativo (OP) na cidade do Natal-RN. O tema é abordado sob um viés teórico, empírico e didático, onde buscou-se realizar um balanço histórico-analítico acerca da execução do OP na cidade. Para isso, foram realizadas pesquisas de caráter primário e secundário através de entrevistas com técnicas envolvidas na operacionalização do OP Natal e com delegados desse; e de consultas ao conteúdo de relatórios disponibilizados pela Secretaria Municipal de Planejamento (SEMPLA) e aos estudos já realizados sobre o OP. Buscou-se um aporte teórico em autores que discutem conceitos como descentralização, participação social e cultura política. Como resultados, observa-se que, com o passar dos anos, mais especificamente nas gestões de Carlos Eduardo Alves, o OP Natal ganhou destaque pelas ideias inovadoras que agregou a sua metodologia, como a implementação do OP Virtual, por exemplo, que contribuiu de forma significativa para o aumento da participação popular no processo. Todavia, a crise econômica que afetou o Brasil, principalmente durante o triênio 2015-2016-2017, contribuiu de modo negativo para a execução das obras e serviços deliberados através do OP, o que gerou um grande descrédito por parte dos delegados que anualmente participam do processo, enfraquecendo o principal mecanismo de participação social existente na cidade do Natal.

ENSINAR E APRENDER GRAMÁTICA NO ENSINO MÉDIO: A VISÃO DOS ESTUDANTES
Authors: Oliveira Pereira David Christian de
Published: January 2020

Na contemporaneidade, muitos estudiosos têm refletido acerca do ensino de Língua Portuguesa. Sabemos que o trabalho com a gramática, por exemplo, tem sido, em boa parte dos casos, descritivo-prescritivo, apegando-se ao ensino de regras e exceções, com aplicação de exercícios estruturais que visam a “contribuir” para o aprendizado do emprego “correto” das palavras em situações frasais descontextualizadas. Autores como Reinaldo (2008), Silva e Neto (2013) e Neves (1993), por exemplo, vêm mostrando como essa situação persiste depois que os alunos deixam o Ensino Fundamental. Situado no âmbito da Linguística Aplicada, este estudo objetiva analisar como os estudantes de uma turma de 3º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública de formação técnica concebem o estudo da gramática da língua. Nossa pesquisa é qualitativo-interpretativista, de cunho etnográfico, e, para a geração dados, contou com análises de questionários. Verificamos que ainda persiste, na prática ou no imaginário de nossas escolas de Ensino Médio, a velha ideia de que estudar gramática na sala de aula é aprender regras e exceções com listas intermináveis de frases soltas.
A EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA E AS POSSÍVEIS INTERDISCIPLINARIDADES NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Costa Catia Silvana , Monteiro Maria Iolanda
Published: January 2020

Este artigo discute possibilidades de articulação entre as diferentes linguagens com base na linguagem corporal como meio para o desenvolvimento da especificidade da Educação Física nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Essa discussão se fundamenta nos resultados de uma dissertação de mestrado em educação, desenvolvida mediante um estudo de caso como uma das possibilidades de pesquisa qualitativa, com uso de observações, entrevistas e análise de documentos. As características elucidadas no eixo “conteúdo escolar” contemplam os processos de alfabetização e letramento, possibilitam a articulação/fortalecimento entre áreas e se relacionam com as questões das políticas públicas de formação de professores de Educação Física. Consideramos que a forma como a participante da pesquisa de mestrado desenvolveu o conteúdo nas aulas se aproxima de um “pensar” e de um “fazer” interdisciplinar, em virtude do diálogo com outros modos de conhecer, do compromisso com a aprendizagem discente, da atitude de busca e pesquisa, do uso da linguagem corporal como possibilidade de comunicação, da diversificação dos procedimentos para ensinar etc. Algumas aproximações foram feitas entre os dados da pesquisa de mestrado e debates atuais, uma vez que o trabalho docente em qualquer área exige ações interdisciplinares. Assim, este artigo apresenta reflexões a respeito de interdisciplinaridade e indagações que podem apontar possíveis avanços na compreensão e no fazer pedagógico do que é ou possa ser interdisciplinar. Portanto, o debate referente a possibilidades de boas práticas no contexto de início da carreira e a necessidade de políticas públicas de formação docente é consolidado pelas análises realizadas.

Nowadays, the problem of contractor selection is one of the important activities in companies so that various methods in this area have been proposed up to now. One of the most popular and practical methods in this area is analytical hierarchy process, if in the case of the matter under surveying, the alternatives increased, this method will lose its efficiency and pair-wise comparison will become practically impossible by this method. In this paper with regard to many participant computer companies in service contracts, the method using combination of data envelopment analysis and analytical hierarchy process is proposed. In this research for ranking participant computer companies in service contracts, first, required criteria in contractor selection was determined then the weights of criteria using AHP Group method was determined. In this method, the linguistic terms are utilized to assess alternatives with respect to each criterion by using data envelopment analysis and Simple-Additive-Weighting method, contractor assessment was done, Finally, among the companies that with regard to last section had outrank, the shortlist was made and using AHP Group the weights of criteria with tendered price was calculated and the most appropriate contractors aim computer servicing was determined. Results indicate good past performance criterion have the biggest weight in the most appropriate contractor selection also in finally contractor selection criterions with tendered price must be assessment until the contractor that altogether outrank as contract winner will determined.

O Programa Saúde na Escola (PSE) situa-se no contexto das políticas públicas de saúde implementadas nas primeiras décadas desse século, as quais têm ampliado as possibilidades de acesso à informação e aos serviços de saúde dos sujeitos sociais, constituindo importante iniciativa para a ampliação da cidadania e dos direitos sociais. Apesar do significativo número pesquisas sobre o Programa, a formação dos profissionais que nele atuam, condição para seu sucesso, tem recebido muito pouca atenção. A partir de nossa experiência como profissionais em programas de educação e saúde e como pesquisadores da área da educação, nosso objetivo no presente artigo é descrever e analisar as práticas educativas de formação dos trabalhadores que atuam no PSE na microárea de um município de médio porte do Vale do Rio Pardo, no Rio Grande do Sul. Realizado entre os anos de 2014 e 2016, com metodologia qualitativa e análise documental, o estudo teve como sujeitos profissionais da área da saúde e da educação, com os quais foram aplicadas entrevistas que posteriormente foram objeto da análise de seu conteúdo. Os resultados revelam a precariedade das condições de formação dos profissionais que atuam no PSE e suas iniciativas para superar as limitações impostas por estas condições, além de reafirmar a importância do Programa para a realidade escolar.

Neste artigo, discorreremos sobre uma pesquisa realizada com o propósito de verificar a eficácia do uso de um Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem como recurso tecnológico associado à metodologia tradicional de ensino, na disciplina de matemática. A referida pesquisa ocorreu em uma turma da 1ª série do ensino médio de uma escola estadual no município de Natal/RN e para sua implementação utilizou-se a rede social educativa EDMODO, visto que essa plataforma reúne características essenciais à realização do trabalho proposto, que consistiu na aplicação de um curso de nivelamento de conteúdos da disciplina de matemática, utilizando as concepções do uso das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação na educação e da Educação a Distância, fazendo uso de materiais como: textos, vídeos, imagens e links para a internet. Os dados coletados na pesquisa apontam como resultados a melhoria na participação dos estudantes nas atividades escolares e, por conseguinte, no desempenho na realização das avaliações.

Published: January 2020

Este ensaio busca contribuir para a compreensão da proposta de Nicolini sobre a abordagem das práticas, tendo como foco principal o seu livro “Practice Theory, Work, and Organization” (2012). Para tanto, foi apresentada a seguinte questão: Qual é a proposta de Davide Nicolini? Destaca-se que Nicolini não está interessado em propor uma nova teoria da prática, pois sua proposta fornece uma pluralidade de conceitos sensibilizadores pertencentes a ontologias, epistemologias e metodologias distintas que apresentam semelhanças entre si formando um “eclestismo programático”. Percebe-se que o autor fornece as bases e orientações para uma teoria fundamentada que possa vir a ser construída a partir da prática, do empírico, mantendo-se assim coerente com o ethos, com a lógica da “prática”, rompendo com as dicotomias das abordagens tradicionais, constituindo uma ontologia plana e relacional. Nesse sentido, este trabalho enfatiza a Grounded Theory como uma possibilidade metodológica a ser utilizada no estudo das práticas.

ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE A QUALIDADE DA ÁGUA DO RIO POTENGI NA CIDADE DE SÃO PAULO DO POTENGI, RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, BRASIL
Authors: Torres Dayana Melo
Published: January 2020

A água é um recurso imprescindível para a manutenção da vida. Com isso, a utilização sem precedentes e a poluição dos corpos hídricos, oriunda do lançamento de efluentes de forma inadequada, têm sido alvo de discussões, com a finalidade de avaliar os impactos ambientais e a qualidade da água nos dias atuais. Como as atividades humanas são geradoras de resíduos potencialmente poluidores ao meio ambiente, a gestão inadequada desses resíduos pode potencializar os impactos ambientais. Tendo isso em vista, este estudo investigou a qualidade da água do Rio Potengi, a partir dos padrões estabelecidos nas resoluções do Conselho Nacional de Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) n° 357/05 e 274/00. Para tanto, foram realizadas 75 coletas em 5 trechos do rio em análise, na cidade de São Paulo do Potengi, localizada no Rio Grande do Norte, estado do nordeste brasileiro. A qualidade das águas foi avaliada através de parâmetros, acatando os requisitos para análises físico-químicas e microbiológicas, estipulados em APHA et al. (2017). Os resultados das coletas apontam altos índices de coliformes termotolerantes e baixa concentração de oxigênio dissolvido, estando isso relacionado com o lançamento inadequado de efluentes domésticos no rio. O estudo mostra-se relevante por inteirar a comunidade sobre o nível de poluição dos trechos do rio, que são utilizados para balneabilidade.
