Communication Tools in Obtaining Information by the Media Based on the Opinion Poll of Press Spokesman of Local Government Units
Authors: Krawczyk Dariusz
Published: March 2021

Presentation of the methods of staying in touch with journalists that are preferred by media relations specialists is the aim of the paper. The opinion survey dedicated to this issue was carried out in 2020 among all spokespersons for the municipalities forming the statutory separated Upper Silesian and Zagłębie Metropolis (Metropolis GZM). It was found that personalized communication tools such as e.g. personal e-mail (40%) or telephone conversations (22%) are most commonly used. Obtained results were compared with the results of analysis with 94% share of Silesian police officers authorized to provide information to the media. An assessment of social reach of disinformation and verification of perception of the effectiveness of publishing the corrections, as a way of responding to distortions in press materials, were also subject of the study.

Soc-narcissism (or socialist narcissism) – celebrities in communist Poland on the example of the monthly "Ty i Ja"

The article assumes that during communism time in Poland, especially during the period of increased television development in the Gomułka era (the 60s), there were no political, socio-communicative and cultural conditions for the development of the culture of celebrity and the related phenomenon of narcissistic attitudes of individuals popular in the media. This thesis is confirmed by the content analysis of the monthly “Ty i Ja”published in 1960–1973, considered to be the first Polish lifestyle magazine, presenting the stars of theater, film etc., but these presentations were far from revealing any narcissist features characteristic of contemporary culture or Western culture at the time.

Authors: Betts Andrea C. , Ochoa Christa , Hamilton Rita , Sikka Seema , Froehlich-Grobe Katherine
Published: March 2021

Background: Individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) have a high prevalence of obesity and unique barriers to healthy lifestyle. Objective: To examine barriers and facilitators to engagement and weight loss among SCI participants enrolled in the Group Lifestyle Balance Adapted for individuals with Impaired Mobility (GLB-AIM), a 12-month intensive lifestyle intervention. Methods: SCI participants (N = 31) enrolled in a wait-list, randomized controlled trial where all participants received intervention between August 2015 and February 2017. Analyses of pooled data occurred in 2020 to examine cross-sectional and prospective associations of hypothesized barriers and facilitators with (1) intervention engagement, comprised of attendance and self-monitoring, and (2) percent weight change from baseline to 12 months. We performed multivariable linear regression on variables associated with outcomes at p < .05 in bivariate analyses and controlled for intervention group. Results: Participants were middle-aged (mean age, 48.26 ± 11.01 years), equally male (50%) and female, White (80.7%), and unemployed (65.6%). In participants who completed baseline surveys (n = 30), dietary self-efficacy explained 26% of variance in engagement (p < .01); among the 12-month study completers (n = 22, 71.0%), relationship issues explained 23% of variance in engagement (p < .01). Money problems, health issues unrelated to SCI, lack of motivation, and experimental group explained 57% of variance in weight loss (p for model < .01), with lack of motivation uniquely explaining 24% of variance (p < .01). Conclusion: Improving engagement and weight loss for persons with SCI in the GLBAIM program may be achieved by addressing lack of motivation, relationship issues, and nutrition self-efficacy.
Relationship Between Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Neurogenic Obesity in Adults With Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Kryger Michael A. , Chehata Veronica J.
Published: March 2021

Spinal cord injury (SCI) substantially increases the risk of neurogenic obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Much like in the general population, a discussion of these syndromes in SCI would be incomplete without acknowledging the association of SCI with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). This article will outline the interplay between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), discussing the pathophysiology of obesity in OSA both for the general population and SCI population. The role of insulin resistance in SDB and SCI will also be examined. The epidemiology and pathophysiology of OSA and central sleep apnea in SCI are discussed through an examination of current evidence, followed by a review of central sleep apnea in SCI. Principles of diagnosis and management of SDB will also be discussed. Because sleep deprivation in itself can be a risk factor for developing obesity, the significance of comorbid insomnia in SCI is explored. Ultimately, a thorough sleep history, testing, and treatment are key to improving the sleep of individuals with SCI and to potentially reducing the impact of neurogenic obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Relation Between Retail Investors’ Trading and Stock Returns in the Chinese Market
Authors: Bing Tao
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates the relation between retail investors’ flows and returns during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Chinese market using the VAR model. The results show that though the positive feedback trading during the pandemic is weaker than that in the pre-COVID-19 period, the positive feedback trading following negative returns during the crisis is much stronger than that in the pre-COVID-19 period. This implies panic trading.
Borderlands: My Path to Becoming a Sex Therapist
Authors: Carlisle G.
Published: March 2021

Current studies focus on the practice of therapy more than the person of the therapist, which remains true in the practice of sex therapy. This study seeks to provide insight into the person-of-the-therapist by exploring the researcher’s personal journey to becoming a sex therapist. Using an autoethnography qualitative research approach, the researcher analyzed his inner experiences. The researcher demonstrated his life in the borderlands, how Eros reconciles his double-consciousness, and how this has led him to his work as a sex therapist. This study encourages readers to reflect and give voice to their own developmental experiences, adding to the collective wisdom, particularly those considering the career of sex therapy.
The Experiences of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders in College: A Heuristic Exploration
Authors: Wiorkowski Fleur
Published: March 2021

This inquiry was conducted to describe the experience of individuals with autism spectrum disorders who have experienced the higher education system. All participants have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and experienced some aspect of the higher education system. Data was collected using primarily face to face interviews. The data was then analyzed using the heuristic methodology of Dr. Clark Moustakas (1990). Ultimately, many patterns and themes emerged from this analysis, culminating in a creative synthesis which sums up the experience. The themes showed the highs and lows of being a college student coupled with the experience of having a developmental disorder as an adult. The final creative synthesis focuses on the life altering changes that occur during the course of the higher education experience for students with autism spectrum disorders.
Positionality and Racialization in a PAR Project: Reflections and Insights from a School Reform Collaboration
Authors: Drame Elizabeth , Irby Decoteau
Published: March 2021

This paper shares findings from a critical reflection on a collaborative participatory research initiative called “The Improving Schools Project." The first author’s reflections explored the interaction of race, space, and positionality within the context of a cross-racial participatory research project. She considered how the racial identity of organizations and individuals nested within organizations impacted patterns of engagement and participation in this project. Through engaging in critical reflexive work facilitated by co-inquirers, she developed a clearer understanding of how the racialization of organizations played a critical role in mediating participants’ engagement in terms of control, collaboration, and commitment. Organizational histories and legacies grounded in (mis)treatment and relationships with communities of color shaped and were shaped by the racial identities of individuals representing these organizations. Multi-layered critical reflexivity allowed for the examination of unintended impacts on participatory processes and practices in cross-racial participatory projects.
Consistencies and Inconsistencies Between Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices
Authors: Tamimy Mohammad
Published: March 2021

This instrumental-comparative qualitative case study attempts to investigate the relations between teachers’ beliefs and classroom practices. For this purpose, five Iranian EFL teachers from three private language institutes were interviewed for their beliefs. Then, their classroom practices were observed and videotaped. The data were analyzed using the constant comparative method around common categories, which were identified as distinctive features of teachers’ beliefs; these same themes were then compared with their practices. The data for each case were also compared with the others so that possible causes of the inconsistencies could be traced. Based on the causes, some suggestions for teacher education and educational management are made.
If You Knew the End of the Story, Would you Still Want to Hear It?: The Importance of Narrative Time for Mental Health Care
Authors: Saunders Vicki , Sherwood Juanita , Usher Kim
Published: March 2021

The origins of this paper lie in our experiences of having heard too many stories with the same outcome or ending in the field of inquiry and practice described as “Aboriginal Mental Health.” This paper was written in an attempt to make sense of these experiences. It does so by focussing on another type of outcome or story ending in mental health care/research contexts more widely known as [Recovery]. Not to be confused with the term recovery as it is used in addiction studies, the concept of [Recovery] currently underpinning mental health care policies and reform is at once a philosophy, a practice orientation, and a guiding value and principle. This paper emerged from a range of discussions about [Recovery] as a practice orientation and a particular type of story-ending told by those who receive and provide Aboriginal mental health care in North Queensland. Poetic inquiry was used as a way to respond to the questions that arose from these discussions. In the research projects and discussions that foreground and underpin this paper, the use of poetic reasoning and writing, evolved from using poetry as a reflective tool, to a being used as a method of data collection, data construction, analysis and interpretation (even though none of these words appropriately inscribe these aspects of research within Arts informed research practices). It is also posited as an aesthetic and ethical way of (re)presenting the results of inquiring. This paper (re)presents and unpacks a particular generated poem to demonstrate the approach (as it is and was) used. As an arts-informed approach to social inquiry and to writing, the purpose of this text is to open or introduce an awkward pause in an ongoing dialogue or conversation about Aboriginal people in mental health care and to amplify the Aboriginal voices informing the development of this text.
Resilience to Ostracism: A Qualitative Inquiry
Authors: Waldeck Daniel , Tyndall Ian , Chmiel Nik
Published: March 2021

Ostracism is a painful event, which may lead to prolonged psychological distress. However, little is known about the mechanisms which may help people recover from such events. This study explored how people who are not chronically ostracised describe processing and coping with ostracism. Using a qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 participants (age group: 18-59; 12 female) from different occupational status groups. Thematic analyses revealed four major themes within the data: participants' immediate reaction to ostracism (“reflex”), subsequent reflections (“reflection”), efforts to manage their behaviour (“regulation”), and capacities to cope following ostracism (“adjustment”). Intensity emerged as a superordinate theme whereby the closer the ostraciser was to the participant, the greater the negative impact. The findings suggested that although most people will experience pain or stress following ostracism, it is how such events are reflected upon and managed that will determine when it leads to distress. Furthermore, some people may be resilient to ostracism. However, this resistance may weaken if the ostraciser(s) are considered close to the person.
Self-Reflexivity as an Ethical Instrument to Give Full Play to Our Explicit and Implicit Subjectivity as Qualitative Researchers
Authors: Cruz Lorena
Published: March 2021

Being a qualitative researcher involves, mainly, assuming the subjective dimension of the research process. This article reflects the process through which I am going through as a junior qualitative researcher within the educative field. If we are immersed in social or humanistic knowledge construction as researchers, we are part of a complex process of relations, we influence and we are influenced, as well. It is an ethical assumption which implies taking responsibility. In this article, I try to reveal how I dealt with my explicit and implicit subjectivity, developing self-reflexivity strategies that allowed me to expand the understanding of the phenomenon.
Importance of the Student Therapist/Athlete Relationship and Goal-Setting in Injury Rehabilitation
Authors: Deal Colin , Shields Chris
Published: March 2021

Previous research has highlighted the importance of relationships (e.g., athletic therapist/client) and psychological skill use to manage negative emotions (e.g., frustration, anger) in order to obtain optimal adherence and injury rehabilitation outcomes. However, the relationship between student athletic therapists and varsity athletes has not been examined. Thus, the objective was to examine the relationship between student therapists and varsity athletes and psychological skill use in injury rehabilitation in relation to adherence. Two senior student therapists and three varsity athletes who had completed injury rehabilitation were recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Both groups of participants described the role of the student therapists as being primarily focused on injury prevention and management. Furthermore, the peer relationships that developed were valued. Goal-setting was used in injury rehabilitation to guide progress, improve adherence, and frame injuries as temporary setbacks. Participants were familiar with imagery from use in other context, however did not report using it in injury rehabilitation. Finally, participants acknowledged that adherence was not perfect, but acknowledged the peer relationships and collaborative goal-setting as helpful. These findings highlight the importance of the relationship between student therapists and athletes and suggest these relationships may support athlete adherence.
Applying a Socio-Ecological Framework to Thematic Analysis Using a Statewide Assessment of Disproportionate Minority Contact in the United States
Authors: Henderson Dawn , Baffour Tiffany
Published: March 2021

Disproportionate minority contact (DMC) in the United States represents a critical social challenge to promoting the ideals and values of social justice. The ecological nature of DMC, a phenomenon emerging from the intersection of micro- and macro-level factors, necessitates the application of systems theories in understanding the issue and designing solutions to address it. This article illustrates the application of socio-ecological systems theory in thematic analysis, drawing associations across multiple systems between contributing factors to DMC in the juvenile justice system in North Carolina, USA. Analysis examined data from 6 focus groups comprised of 55 statewide stakeholders involved in the juvenile justice continuum. Application of socio-ecological systems theory in thematic analysis revealed structural and individual conditions associated with DMC, to include institutional racism demonstrated by biases present in stakeholders across schools and the juvenile justice system. The article presents ways in which micro to macro factors influence social challenges. Findings present an analytic strategy for constructing a practical model in qualitative research of contributing mechanisms to DMC and addressing issues of social justice in the United States.
Interviewing Adolescent Females in Qualitative Research
Authors: Dixon Carmen
Published: March 2021

Qualitative interviewing is widely used in educational research. However, while research related to effective interview strategies for use with many different population groups exists, the study of successful interview strategies for use with adolescent girls has been limited. To address this limitation, the researcher explores the various methodologies of qualitative interviewing, selects the most appropriate for her study, then outlines three important considerations for this population group: Ethical issues, power dynamics, and building trust. After discussing how these issues can best be addressed, the researcher includes reflections made after conducting two interviews each with eight adolescent females. The interview approach presented in this paper is not limited to use with adolescent girls but can be used in studies with varying population groups as well.
EFEITOS DA DIGITALIZAÇÃO DA ECONOMIA SOBRE A ALOCAÇÃO DO DIREITO DE TRIBUTAR
Authors: Elali André de Sousa Dantas , Albuquerque Jair Cabral de
Published: March 2021

A globalização e a economia digital transformaram o modo de atuar das empresas multinacionais. Os novos modelos de negócio, além de potencializarem o risco de evasão e elisão fiscal internacionais, escapam às regras atuais do sistema tributário internacional. Essa conjuntura, cuja responsabilidade pode ser atribuída tanto às empresas quanto aos Estados, permite às empresas mais eficientes se eximirem do pagamento do imposto sobre a renda, causando prejuízos aos Estados, aos cidadãos e às empresas concorrentes. O Projeto BEPS, conduzido pela OCDE, tem apresentado propostas de melhorias que poderão atender aos interesses dos Estados do mercado consumidor e amenizar as atuais distorções existentes. Apesar das propostas em andamento, a complexidade na implementação de uma solução global de longo prazo baseada no consenso tem estimulado dezenas de países a adotarem medidas unilaterais para tributar as empresas multinacionais da economia digital.

Pandemic and the Predicament of Labour Migration: The Indian Experience of Mitigating the Multifaceted Dimensions of a Humanitarian Catastrophe
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of Political Science with International Relations at the Department of International Relations, Jadavpur University DL-230/5, Sector-II, Salt Lake, Kolkata-700091, Guha Abhigyan
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 Pandemic has accentuated pre-existing global conflicts and fissures tremendously, and India has been plagued with multifaceted challenges from skyrocketing unemployment, demand and public debt crisis to the predicament of labour migration, characterized by a plethora of economic, sociological, political and humanitarian ramifications. The rudimentary objective of this paper is to offer a normative teleological insight into the de facto migrant labour crisis in India, while holistically juxtaposing myriad ontological and epistemological indicators, with an emphasis on the economic and human rights dimension of Pandemic-induced intra-state and inter-state labour migration. While assessing a series of macro-societal and cyclical developments, ranging from “Push and Pull” factors of labour migration, reactionary decision-making of the political establishment to the repercussions of cyclical lockdowns, the attitudinal and ideational component of the social order towards migrant labourers has been highlighted, when a virulent contagion has propelled systemic racial discrimination, cognitive biases, ethnocentrism, xenophobia and institutionalized otherization vis-à-vis the instruments of statecraft, during the pyrrhic rise of mobilization on the closures of borders. While the notion of physical and social distancing is antithetical to the rationale behind society and politics as collective decision-making arenas, the current health crisis has compelled to turn the lens back on the struggles and vast array of insecurities of migration and settlement. Additionally, this paper throws light on the immediate contours and trajectories of forced and voluntary labour migration, processes of assimilation and acculturation, how networks and kinship ties that migrant labourers bring with them shape the magnitude of internal and international migration by adding to the changing global demography. A series of speculative policy prescriptions have been suggested, advancing an ethos of care and respect.

My article explores some aspects of Theodor W. Adorno's work in relation to contemporary music in general and electroacoustic music in particular. Let us recall that Adorno never seriously considered the latter, which he regarded more as a technological bricolage than as a legitimate source for the production of works. One of the purposes of this paper is to demonstrate that under the definition of musique informelle, Adorno opens wide the door to all musics, even those that do not depend directly on musical writing.

In every tradition, empire or kingdom there is a traditional mystical force that binds or welds every royal families together be it Europe, America, Asia and Africa. In Igbo tradition, coronation of kings is viewed as a kingly festival especially when it comes to coronations in Eri kingdom. In the coronation of any new king within the communities that make up Eri kingdom, especially Nri without “Ududueze” the covenant pot of clay, the coronation will not take place. The mystery behind this is still unknown. In Igbo tradition, this symbol of kingship act as a spiritual conduit that binds or compensates the communities that make up the Eri kingdom through the mediation for the loss of their contact with their ancestral home and with the built/support in religious rituals and cultural security of their extended brotherhood. As a point of emphasis, ‘Otutunzu shrine’ is a shrine strategically and naturally located at the confluence of Omanbala and Ezu rivers respectively and no citizen of Aguleri is allowed to fish in this particular location of the river because ‘they believed that the fish of the river were the children of the goddess of the river’. This paper explores the reasons and the mysteries why the indigenes are prohibited from fishing in this particular spot. This paper also focuses on how the ritual of coronation of Igbo monarchs are carried out especially the Nri coronation and why the renewal of covenant relationships between communities are done in this sacred space in order to reunite their intimate brotherhood and to show how the Aguleri community uses this temple to show her hegemony in Igbo land and consequently commemorates Eri as their great ancestor.

This article seeks to qualitatively identify non-formal Islamic religious education in the coastal areas of the large island of northern Java, particularly regarding the social role of Islamic education teachers at the primary education level in the village of Demangharjo, Tegal Regency, including the problems they carry out. Data were collected by direct observation and direct interviews with elementary Islamic education teachers involved in non-formal Islamic education activities in village mosques. Triangulation in data collection methods derived from observations and interviews was chosen for validity before being analyzed with an interactive model, from data collection, data reduction, to drawing conclusions. This research concludes that the role of SD-level Islamic education teachers in informal education in the northern coastal areas is unique in that it combines the findings about the role of teachers in villages in island coastal areas and inland urban areas by considering the uniqueness of Demangharjo village as a research area. The problem is indeed multidimensional, but it is suggested that the direct involvement of parents of students in the provision of informal education is in addition to the need for incentives from stakeholders. This PAI research can still be developed because the social conditions in each region still require further exploration even though in similar geographical conditions.

The quality assurance of Quran learning services at TQA has been carried out consistently in improving the quality of teachers. in services The closeness of ustaz/ah with TQA education students is an advantage that must be cultivated and developed.
Economic Consequences of Section Transfers in Japan: Change in Investor Base
Authors: Abo Rodrigue Majoie
Published: March 2021

Transfer of stocks to a more regulated section within the same stock exchange is a quasi-natural experiment that enhances the investor base of companies. The purpose of this paper is to examine for the first time this investor base change and its price-impact. Considering the Japanese Exchange Group merger in 2012 and its structural amendments, the author uses a final sample of 181 firms between 2014-2019. An event study methodology is used to examine the abnormal returns and trading activity in relation to the investor base change proxy. The study also uses robust MM regression analysis to investigate whether the expected price-impact has is temporary or permanent. The results demonstrate that companies that had the largest positive shift in investor base also experienced the largest positive abnormal returns (+ 3.74%) and volume gains. Crucially, the author found no evidence of reversal of this price-impact, inconsistent with the price-pressure hypothesis. Instead, the increase in stock prices caused by section transfer to a more regulated section seems to be permanent.

Keywords: Section transfers, More regulated section, TSE1, TSE2, Investor Base Change, Permanent price-impact.

Para tal, primeiramente é relatado o histórico da empresa, começando por sua fundação como uma empresa estatal que, após passar por um processo de privatização, tornou-se uma empresa internacionalizada e de capital aberto. Em seguida, dentro desse contexto, busca-se caracterizar a responsabilidade sócio-ambiental como elemento do planejamento estratégico da empresa, bem como de sua internacionalização e da diversificação do campo de negócios. O objetivo é discutir, no caso da empresa, como tais ações podem contribuir para a sustentabilidade, trazer vantagens competitivas e auxiliar na ampliação de seus negócios, principalmente, no exterior. Também estão incluídas neste trabalho questões para discussão em sala de aula, assim como, notas de ensino que, além de relacionar a literatura pertinente ao tema, são finalizadas com depoimentos de especialistas em Meio Ambiente sobre a importância dos programas de responsabilidade social empresarial. Espera-se que este caso proporcione uma estimulante discussão junto a alunos de graduação e de pós-graduação, em especial de programas lato sensu, sobre um tema tão importante e atual.

O presente artigo é fruto de um Projeto de Iniciação Científica cujo objetivo é considerar o imaginário coletivo de jovens estudantes de medicina, acerca da profissão de médico. Participaram voluntariamente estudantes ingressantes no curso e no ciclo internato de medicina. Utilizou-se o procedimento de Desenhos-Estória com Tema, tendo sido analisados 59 Desenhos-Estória. O material clínico foi considerado visando à captação dos determinantes lógico-emocionais que sustentam o imaginário coletivo como conduta. Pode-se perceber uma visão bem diferenciada quanto ao ser médico nos dois grupos: conteúdos com intensa carga de altruísmo aos pacientes e dedicação à profissão foram detalhados pelos primeiro anistas, e preocupação pela escolha da especialidade e ambição financeira pelos ingressantes do internato. Em ambos os grupos, encontramos a dificuldade de escolher e definir quem ser quando se formar, e a falta de ênfase na relação médico-paciente.. A partir dos desenhos-estória, foram destacados alguns campos psicológicos não conscientes: dualidade, idealização e o outro.

O constante desenvolvimento dos materiais aliado à necessidade de se obter componentes estruturais de alto desempenho como materiais alternativos na indústria aeronáutica, bem como, considerando a aplicabilidade atual dos compósitos estruturais, previsões de falha da estrutura e análise das cargas máximas que as mesmas podem suportar se tornam tópicos fundamentais de pesquisas com a finalidade de garantia da confiabilidade quanto ao emprego dos mesmos em diversas áreas. Considerando que o compósito termoplástico PPS/C – Poli (sulfeto de fenileno) reforçado com fibras de carbono – está surgindo como uma alternativa para a substituição de compósitos poliméricos termorrígidos para aplica- ções específicas e que ainda há escassez na literatura atual de dados relativos à previsão de falhas, este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma analise bidimensional do comportamento mecânico do compósito PPS/C sob carregamento estático linear em flexão de três pontos. Neste estudo, foram analisados os critérios de falha de máxima tensão, critérios polinomiais dos índices de força e das relações inversas dos índices de força de Tsai-Wu, de Hill e de Hoffman. Por fim, foram comparados os resultados obtidos a partir do modelo computacional com resultados experimentais obtidos a partir de ensaios de flexão com o objetivo de analisar, avaliar e validar a simulação numérica utilizada.

A cultura dos “Coitados”: trajetória social e sistema de arte.
Authors: Domingues João
Published: March 2021

O ensaio em questão tem como objetivo a apropriação da teoria proposta por Pierre Bourdieu, em especial, a relação entre o espaço social e o lugar, a fim se analisar as condições possíveis de serem percebidas no campo da produção da cultura (mais especificamente da produção cinematográfica) e a incorporação de agentes segregados, espacialmente como produtores no campo constituído. Para tanto, foi selecionado um produto audiovisual recente - Cidade de Deus, de Fernando Meirelles -, apresentando elementos que sugerem que a trajetória pessoal dos indivíduos e a hiper-realidade construída pela obra criam as condições de inserção de sujeitos como profissionais até então apartados do mercado formal de produção artística. A indicação prévia deste ensaio permite relacionar as condições da marginalidade assumida não apenas como desfrute do consumo cultural, mas da própria atividade artística, ambos produtos de um mesmo habitus. É justamente nesse habitus reiterado pelo cenário urbano que reside a possibilidade de integração dos sujeitos segregados territorialmente. Ao tratamento de “coitados”, pretendemos sugerir que é desta incorporação simbólica, uma real possibilidade destes sujeitos de superar/aceitar os mecanismos societários de exclusão e assimilação no mercado formal de arte.
Comportamento Eletroquímico da Liga Ti-12Mo-13Nb Envelhecida Para Aplicação Biomédica

Consideráveis esforços têm sido feitos para explorar novas ligas de Ti visando aplicações ortopédicas que reúnam as seguintes propriedades: baixo módulo de elasticidade, excelente resistência mecânica, assim como boa resistência à corrosão, fácil conformabilidade e sem à presença de elementos tóxicos. Estudos preliminares mostraram que a liga Ti-12Mo-13Nb envelhecida a 500ºC/24 h apresentou alta razão dureza/módulo de elasticidade. Diante do contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o comportamento eletroquímico da liga Ti-12Mo-13Nb envelhecida a 500ºC/24 h, visando seu uso como material biomédico. O comportamento eletroquímico foi realizado por curvas de polarização potenciodinâmica usando solução de NaCl 0,9 %  para simular o fluido corpóreo. Os resultados mostraram que, a liga Ti-12Mo-13Nb apresentou menores valores de densidade de corrente que a liga Ti-6Al-4V em praticamente toda a faixa estudada.

Numa era em que as tecnologias invadem a vida dos cidadãos, em especial nas áreas urbanas, como podemos aumentar a capacidade de percepção espacial e mesmo investigar as transformações geométricas, se apropriando de recursos tecnológicos? Neste artigo objetivamos responder este questionamento com a exploração de construções de sólidos geométricos, através da combinação de sólidos previamente determinados, a saber, o cubo, o cone, a esfera e o cilindro, através da mediação da Realidade Aumentada (RA). Essa manipulação dos sólidos favorece a evolução gradual do conhecimento geométrico do aluno/usuário que, devido à forma lúdica apresentada, baseada em modelos pré-organizados que o desafia, faz com que este reflita sobre suas ações de forma crítica, percebendo, através de erros na construção, a necessidade de implementação de determinada ação corretiva para obter o êxito na atividade proposta.
