La política energética en Estados Unidos en la actualidad
Authors: Gómez Jiménez David , Sanz Oliva Jorge
Published: April 2019

Estados Unidos es uno de los mayores consumidores de energía del mundo, pero también uno de los mayores productores. Su papel como productor se ha visto reforzado en los últimos años gracias al efecto del fracking, que permite extraer petróleo y gas natural de zonas antes inaccesibles por los elevados costes que conllevaba. Ello, junto con el auge de las tecnologías renovables, han forzado a un menor uso del carbón, con el efecto global de reducción de las emisiones de efecto invernadero. La política energética se decide a nivel federal y estatal, siendo este último el más relevante. La Administración Trump ha revocado muchas de las acciones de la era Obama encaminadas al control de emisiones, con el objetivo de reducir los costes al consumidor (tanto doméstico como industrial).

 El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el estado del sector energético en Estados Unidos y la influencia de las políticas energéticas adoptadas en la última década. Para ello se han analizado los principales indicadores económicos-energéticos a partir de fuentes públicas y del Gobierno americano.
A Study on Brecht’s The Good Woman of Setzuan
Authors: İnal Melisa
Published: April 2019

Each play is produced with the use of a different method, and one of the methods which has a significant influence on drama is constructed by Bertolt Brecht. According to him, the best way to show his reaction against the system and stimulate the audience to take action against such system is epic theatre. His aim is to create a conscious society. For this aim, he uses epic theatre to create a distance between the play and the audience so that the audience can gain a critical insight. The reason is that such distance makes the audience use their reasons not feelings, which creates the feeling of rebel against the system including politics, economy (Benjamin, 1969). This helps the audience question the system and give the strength to change it. In order to activate the audience, he uses certain techniques of alienation based on distance between the audience and the play in epic theatre (Akçeşme, 2009). The Good Woman of Setzuan by Brecht is a significant play to analyse such techniques. With the techniques, he shows the injustice against the lower class and class distinction in the play. In other words, he leads the audience to question the capitalist society. Such techniques as giving a distant setting, the communication between the actor and the audience and the use of songs and verses can be observed throughout the play in order to break the illusion. Thus, this paper intends to analyse the techniques of epic theatre in the play The Good Woman of Setzuan to understand how Brecht break the automatized perceptions of the audience and show them a different world with the aim of rebel against the capitalist system.

Published: April 2019

Results of a risk assessment of the development of the musculoskeletal system (MSS) pathonomia in workers of main professions of underground mine are presented in article. These results are based on the analysis of routine health screening of 289 representatives of the mentioned group in 2010. It has been stated that risk magnitude of MSS pathology development and its diversity in different professional groups could not be explained by age changes of MSS condition. At the same time similar risk values in the development of musculoskeletal system pathology in drillers and miners professions are opposite to considerable differences in data of annual detection of MSS professional pathology. It has been stated on the basis of the analysis of 132 cases of professional diseases of the specified class. Considering the peculiarities of carrying out an expert assessment of a disease relation with a profession, it is necessary to recognize that the quality of working conditions assessment fails to their actual parameters, in case of the conducted researches -load of labor process, and as a result, excludes the opportunity to connect the revealed violations of MSS with professional influence.

Published: April 2019

Проведен анализ литературных источников по вопросу влияния горизонтальных проемов в горящем помещении на параметры пожара. Показаны ограничения по использованию ранее полученных результатов исследований при моделировании пожаров. Для предварительной оценки влияния горизонтальных проемов на температурный режим пожара в помещении проведено моделирование горения древесины в административном помещении для случая наличия только вертикального дверного проема и для присутствия дополнительных горизонтальных световых проемов. По результатам моделирования установлено существенное влияние горизонтальных проемов на температурный режим пожара в помещении и отсутствие методик, позволяющих в достаточной мере оценить влияние проемов в горизонтальных ограждающих конструкциях на интегральные теплотехнические параметры объемного свободно развивающегося пожара в помещении. Предложена доработка алгоритма расчета, использованного при разработке методики СТБ 11.05.03.

DEPENDENCE ACTIVATION ENERGY OF THE ELECTROREDUCTION OF PALLADIUM(II) BIS-HYDROXYETHYLIMINODIACETATE COMPLEXES ON THE OVERPOTENTIAL
Authors: Kublanovskii Valeriy , Nikitenko Vasyl
Published: April 2019

The kinetic (exchange currents, apparent elect-ron transfer coefficients) and energetic (activation energies of diffusion and electron-transfer reaction) parameters of electroreduction of palladium (II) bis-hydroxyethyliminodiacetate complexes from an ele-ctrolyte containing an excess of free ligand have been determined. A method is proposed for calculating the actual activation energy of the electrode process that is controlled by mixed kinetics, based on the dif-fusion activation energy, transition reaction and the ratio of surface and volume concentrations of potenti-al-determining ions in the solution under study or the ratio of the limiting diffusion current jd and dischar-ge current jk of palladium (II) hydroxyethyliminodi-

 

acetate complexes. The actual activation energy Af of the electrode process, which is controlled by mixed kinetics, is calculated based on the diffusion activati-on energy, transition reaction and the ratio of the li-miting diffusion current jd and discharge current jk of palladium (II) bis-hydroxyethyliminodiacetate com-plexes. The contribution of the activation energy of the transition stage (slow discharge) and the diffusion activation energy of bis -hydroxyethyliminodiacetate palladium (II) complexes to the actual activation ener-gy of the electrode process limited by mixed kine-tics is determined. The dependence of actual activation energy on electrode process overpotential has been stu-died. The actual activation energy Af of the electro-de process varies from the value of the activation ener-gy of the transition reaction At (63.4 kJ×mol–1) to the value of the diffusion activation energy Ad (22.5 kJ ×mol–1). The activation energy calculated according to Tyomkin can be considered as the actual activation energy Af of the discharge stage at a given polarizati-on DE only with a purely kinetic control of the pro-cess rate. The activation energy experimentally deter-mined by the temperature-kinetic method according to the Arrhenius equation and calculated by the pro-posed method is the actual activation energy Af of the electrode process, controlled by mixed kinetics. There is a coincidence of the experimentally determi-ned by the Gorbachev method and the actual Af acti-vation energy of electrode process controlled by mi-xed kinetics calculated by the proposed method. A good agreement between the calculated and experi-mentally determined values of the actual activation energy of the electrode process is observed.

Published: April 2019

As a result of studying the rheological properties of coal suspensions with a water-glycerol dispersion media, it was established that with an increase of the stage of coal metamorphism, that is, from the transition from lignite coal to anthracite, the suspensions are characterized by lower values ​​of effective viscosity with the same mass content of the dispersed phase.

Dependence of granulometric composition of coal suspensions depending on concentration of glycerol in them was determined. Coal suspensions of varying degrees of metamorphism have been obtained using as a dispersion media glycerol, pyrolysis products of  high molecular weight polymers and water in various ratios with a maximum content of coal of 60% by weight. and permissible viscosity (up to 1.5 Pa · s). It is important that water-glycerol suspensions of coal do not decompose within a week when stored in static conditions, even in the absence of stabilizing reagents. In this case, water-cooled suspensions under the same conditions are stable for no more than 24 hours. The structure of the sedimentation of coal suspensions also depends on the nature of the dispersion media. If in systems with glycerol content it is rather loose, then in the case of coal-water suspensions - a dense. In the case of hermetic storage, the viscosity of water-glycerol suspensions after stratification is easy to restore by simple mixing. Also, the advantage of preparing of coal disperse systems with the content of glycerol is much higher values ​​of it caloric content, compared with coal-water. It iwas shown that these fuel disperse systems have high stability and caloric content, which at high solids content and pyrolysis products is close to or exceeds the output coal. The resulting suspensions have a much higher caloric content than similar coal-water, and are characterized by low emissions of harmful gases during combustion.
Oligomeric silsesquioxanes containing dye Rhodamine B in an organic shell

Published: April 2019

A method for the synthesis of amphiphilic reactive oligomeric silsesquioxanes (OSS) with fragments of Rhodamine B fluorescent dye and hydroxyl groups in organic shell (OSS-Rh) by the reaction between carboxyl groups of the dye and epoxy groups of the mixture of oligomeric silsesquioxanes (OSS-Ep) was developed. The structure of the synthesized substance was characterized by the methods of IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

The UV-spectrum of the OSS-Rh compound in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution was characterized by absorption bands of both the colored zwitterion (562 nm and 350 nm) and the colorless lactone (318 nm) forms of Rhodamine B. The absorption band at 562 nm in the spectrum of OSS-Rh in DMF solution was more intense than the analogous band in the spectrum of the original Rhodamine B. Therefore, the attachment of Rhodamine B to the silsesquioxane core of an oligomeric silsesquioxanes mixture does not have a significant effect on the position of the absorption maxima in UV-spectrum and prevents dye’s fragments from converting to the colorless lactone form.

In the fluorescence spectra of both Rhodamine B and OSS-Rh, obtained using ethyl alcohol as a solvent, a peak is observed at λmax = 570 nm (λex = 500 nm). In the fluorescence spectrum of OSS-Rh obtained in DMF, a fluorescence peak is observed at λmax = 586 nm (λex = 520 nm). Consequently, the replacement of ethanol by DMF is accompanied by a bathochromic shift of the fluorescence peak of OSS-Rh. In the fluorescence spectrum of Rhodamine B at the same conditions, the peak of fluorescence is absent because of transition of the dye to the lactone form. The compounds obtained can be used in formation of functional Langmuir-Blodgett films as well as in obtaining polymer nanocomposites by covalent bonding.
Does being Rafidi mean Shi`ite?: The Representation of the Kızılbaş Belief in the Sixteenth Century Ottoman Records
Authors: Erdoğdu Başaran Reyhan
Published: April 2019

The Kızılbaş, especially by the sixteenth
century, played a central role in the Ottoman-Safavid struggle due to its close
alliance with the Safavid. By using period archival records of the Ottoman
administration along with historical and religious documents composed by the
Ottoman elite scholars, this article aims to reflect the Kızılbaş’s religious
orientation as perceived by the Ottoman policy makers. The documents examined
include the fermans of the Muhimme defterleri, Selim Şah-name of Idrisi Bitlisi, Tevarih-i Al-i Osman of Ibn Kemal and
the fatwas issued on the persecution of the Kızılbaş by Ibn Kemal and as
afterwards reutilized by Ebussuud. In doing so, this article intends to uncover
the Ottoman perspective of the Kızılbaş religiosity as if it had ever been
linked to Shi`ism. Further the term rafidi to define Kızılbaş belief
will be explored in detail to reveal if it is used as equivalent to the term shi`a.
Implementation of a Psychiatric Nurse-Led Outreach Service at Older Adult Homes: A Hong Kong Experience
Authors: Fung Yuen-ling
Published: April 2019

This article reports on the implementation of a local pioneering psychiatric nurseled service that was designed to address the unmet mental healthcare needs of adults residing at older adult homes. It also describes features of potentially wider relevance to nurses interested in developing healthcare service for other underserved populations. We highlight the view that the crux of developing a successful service involves understanding existing service gaps, grasping the pulse of changing healthcare service policies, involving relevant stakeholders in the planning process, validating service outcomes, and seeking support from management. A central goal of the service was to enhance the accessibility of mental healthcare services to people with unmet needs. This model of service is preferred by service users (both the care providers and the residents in the older adult homes), is efficient in terms of providing prompt psychiatric nursing interventions, is able to supply primary care providers with ractical advice in response to their enquiries, and helps primary care providers to detect and manage the mental healthcare needs of older adults.

Published: April 2019

This study was aimed at exploring the role of Fulbright program in building perception about U.S. and Americans among Pakistani Fulbright scholars. While a host of theory and research had been growing on contact theory (Allport, 1954; Pettigrew & Tropp, 2008), application of contact hypothesis to cultural exchange programs based on foreign policy intended to develop peace and affective ties between nations has been limited. Specifically, this research gap was filled by this study that focused on the impact of direct contact on perception and image of the U.S. in the context of the U.S. and Pakistan Fulbright program. Pakistani Fulbright scholars (81 men, 67 women; Mean age = 23 years; Range = 21-29 years), with low-contact and high-contact were compared with respect to their perceptions of a prototypical American and the United States as an international entity. Compared to participants with low-contact (n = 52), participants with high-contact (n = 96) had developed a higher positive perception of a prototypical American. Furthermore, compared to participants with low-contact, those with high-contact perceived the U.S. significantly more as an ally and less as an imperialist-enemy nation. Participation was controlled through selection for the Fulbright program and no previous visits to the U.S. Discussion has focused on possibilities for foreign policy and peace related implications of the Fulbright program.

Published: April 2019

The study was conducted to know whether bulk inflow of Non Emergency Calls (NECs) acts as an independent predictor for depression in call handlers of Rescue 1122, Punjab, Pakistan. Forty five (45) call handlers were recruited from evening shift of 9 districts. Similarly, same-sized control group was made out of field rescuers. The groups were compared for rate and severity level of depression using Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996). Probable predictors (except workplace stress) for depression in call handlers were evaluated through risk estimates. For workplace stress, a purposefully developed close- ended Workplace Stress Questionnaire including two subscales i.e. Non Emergency call and Control Room Environment of 30 items each was administrated. Twenty nine (64.4%) subjects of study group reported depression on BDI. Consequently, the same group had significantly higher mean depression score than control (18.2 vs. 12.6; p = .00). The scores also showed insignificant association with any of the probable predictors (demographic variables) of the call attendees. The respondents perceived more occupational stress against NECs. The findings attract the attention of authorities towards the severity of the concern.

Authors: Ishfaq Nimrah , Kamal Anila
Published: April 2019

Juvenile delinquency is a major societal issue of Pakistan, but measuring it through self-reported indigenously developed questionnaire is limited to a few progresses like Self-Reported Delinquency Scale (SRDS; Naqvi & Kamal, 2008). The purpose of the present study was to explore factor structure of SRDS through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and to address multi-facets of delinquency by modifying SRDS. Cross-sectional research design was used. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 508 respondents which included 232 juvenile delinquents and 276 students from Bahawalpur and Faisalabad. Study was aimed to explore and establish dimensionality, reliability, convergent, and discriminant validities along with usefulness of the Revised Self-Reported Delinquency Scale (R-SRDS). Findings of the study reported emergence of six internally-consistent factors including: (a) risk taking, (b) sex related, (c) stealing related, (d) police encountering, (e) drugs related, and (f) attention seeking delinquent tendencies. Convergent validity of these subscales was established through positive association of R-SRDS with Short version of Physical and Verbal Aggression Scale (Caprara & Pastorelli, 1993), and Lying Scale of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ; Eysenck & Eysenck, 1976). Discriminant validity was established by inverse relationship of R-SRDS with Prosocial Behavior Scale (Eisenerg, Eggum, & Di-Giunta, 2010) and Positivity Scale (Caprara et al., 2012). R-SRDS not only discriminated between juvenile delinquents and students, but also discriminated between delinquents committing different types of crimes, thus, providing more comprehensive picture of R-SDS measuring different levels of delinquent tendencies in Pakistan.

Published: April 2019

Dyadic adjustment is a major facilitating factor in lifestyle of Emergency Service Providers (ESP). This research hypothesized that work centrality and life role salience are likely to be positively related to dyadic adjustment of ESP and thought suppression is likely to moderate the relationship between the above mentioned. using a within group research design, a sample of 110 male emergency service providers with age range from 24 to 40 years was obtained from Rescue 1122 headquarters and two government hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1988); Work Centrality Scale (Paullay, Alliger, & Stone-Romero, 1994); Life Role Salience Scale (Amatea, Cross, Clark, & Bobby, 1986); and White Bear Suppression Inventory (Wegner & Zanakos, 1994); were translated in Urdu. The findings indicated that occupational role commitment has significant positive relationship with dyadic adjustment while parental and homecare role commitment has significant negative relationships with it. Hierarchal Moderated Regression revealed that thought suppression significantly moderates the relationship between variables. This research offers an avenue to researchers to explore the trauma coping strategies and their influence in other healthcare professionals and implementation of couple and counseling therapies for those working under stressful conditions.

Dessa forma, o presente estudo teve por objetivo realizar um levantamento rápido de espécies de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em um fragmento florestal não inventariado no Cerrado do sudeste goiano, no município de Ipameri-GO. A ocorrência das espécies foi registrada por meio de observações diretas dos animais, observações indiretas, armadilhamento fotográfico e entrevista com moradores da área. Foram registradas 19 espécies de mamíferos de médio e grande porte, das quais 5 fazem parte das listas nacional de fauna ameaçada de extinção, pelo MMA ou pela IUCN. A riqueza encontrada é considerada elevada, em função do esforço amostral realizado, e indica a necessidade de adoção de medidas conservacionistas para fragmentos florestais do Cerrado e para as espécies amostradas, sobretudo às consideradas como ameaçadas de extinção.

Considerando que o mapeamento de recursos naturais podem subsidiar o estabelecimento de políticas de governo para o meio ambiente, de forma a contribuir com a utilização adequada dos recursos naturais, bem como possibilitar a melhoria na qualidade de vida, este estudo visou construir mapas de distribuição dos elementos Fe, As, Pb, Mn, Ba, Zn e Ni na bacia do rio Gualaxo do Norte, MG, Brasil. Para isso, foram coletadas 51 amostras de sedimentos ativos de margens ao longo da referida bacia. Em seguida, os resultados das análises químicas dessas amostras, em associação com os valores de background propostos para os elementos, foram utilizados para a construção de diferentes mapas geoquímicos, por meio do Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG). Os resultados obtidos evidenciam contribuições antropogênicas no enriquecimento de metais tais como Mn, Ba e Fe, assim como evidenciam que as contaminações por elevadas concentrações desses elementos podem extrapolar para bacias subsequentes à estudada, o que certamente agrava o problema de poluição identificado. Em adição, foi evidenciado que as atividades atuais de exploração aurífera na bacia, podem não estar disponibilizando concentrações elevadas de As e Pb, ambos metais altamente tóxicos, o que pode ser explicado pela diminuição considerável de exploração, quando comparada à exploração histórica na região.

Recentemente tem-se investigado sobre métodos de ensino e aprendizagem, que despertem a participação, motivação e compreensão dos conteúdos trabalhos em sala de aula. Nessa perspectiva, uma das grandes dificuldades encontradas pelos professores de Ciências e/ou Biologia tem sido, na maioria das vezes o modo de apresentar os conteúdos nas aulas, uma vez que o ensino de ciência traz em seus conteúdos conceitos que são de difícil compreensão pelos alunos. Tais metodologias são necessárias para facilitar a compreensão dos alunos, como é descrito no PCN+ (BRASIL, 2002) “favorecem o desenvolvimento espontâneo criativo dos alunos e permitem ao professor ampliar seu conhecimento de técnica ativas de ensino”. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o processo de aprendizagem com o uso de modelos didático-pedagógico de células sanguíneas, entre três turmas do 1º ano do Ensino Médio em uma Escola Estadual do Município de Pires do Rio/GO. O trabalho é fruto de uma integração entre as atividades de desenvolvimento de modelo didático-pedagógico de células por aluna de Graduação em Licenciatura do Curso de Ciências Biológicas, orientada pela professora supervisora. As turmas foram divididas em grupos, nos quais cada componente ficou responsável por levar o material para confecção do modelo didático, com o intuito de diminuir o custo benefício sob cada aluno. Como base para a montagem utilizamos uma bandeja de isopor, além de cola, massinha de modelar e caneta para identificação dos componentes. Sendo assim, a partir da análise das reações, atitudes e diálogos dos alunos durante o desenvolvimento da prática, percebeu-se que modelos são positivos para o ensino de ciências, visto que o envolvimento dos alunos na dinâmica da confecção até o resultado final promove um aprendizado significativo em relação a conceitos que eles possuíam muita dificuldade em assimilar. Com isso modelos didático-pedagógicos são ferramentas chave para um ensino inovador e diferenciado do modelo tradicionalista de ensino. Portanto, percebe-se a devida importância da construção de modelos para serem utilizados nas aulas, diante disso, o professor perceberá que prenderá a atenção de seus alunos, que são instigados a pesquisar e a produzir.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo geral, oportunizar a estudantes do primeiro ciclo do ensino fundamental de uma escola carente, metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem voltadas à temática Saúde e Meio Ambiente, promovendo concomitantemente a popularização da Ciência neste nível educacional. A partir da elaboração de atividades lúdicas e dinâmicas, baseada na concepção das metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem crianças de uma escola carente da cidade de Pires do Rio (sob tutoria de estudantes do PIBID/Biologia e do ensino médio do Instituto Federal Goiano – Campus Urutaí e professores colaboradores, devidamente capacitados), participaram de três diferentes atividades intituladas: “Que água posso beber?”, “Conhecendo o estrago causado pelas queimadas nas plantas” e “Quem é o Aedes aegypti?”. A partir das atividades desenvolvidas, notou-se grande empolgação das crianças participantes do projeto (ensino fundamental), sobretudo, considerando suas precárias condições socioeconômicas e carências familiares; aumento do interesse das crianças pela ciência e tecnologia, sobretudo, a partir do contato direto com equipamentos e procedimentos científicos; pôde-se oferecer aos professores das crianças participantes a oportunidade de experimentar metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem desenvolvidas especificamente para assuntos voltados à Saúde e Meio Ambiente que podem ser replicadas ou aprimoradas em outras ocasiões envolvendo suas práticas docentes. Além disso, foi possível contribuir com o processo de educação permanente em saúde, implementado no Sistema único de Saúde, ao desenvolver na escola ação educativa específica ligada à identificação do vetor Aedes aegypti e sobre as doenças que podem ser transmitidas pelo inseto; bem como contribuiu para o processo de popularização da Ciência na escola carente foco deste projeto ao oferecer às crianças o contato direto com microscópios ópticos binoculares, trinoculares (com câmera acoplada), estéreo microscópios, bem como técnicas histológicas normalmente utilizadas apenas em laboratórios de pesquisa científica.
Desvendando a sétima arte no âmbito científico: experiência vivenciada por bolsistas do subprojeto PIBID/Biologia do Instituto Federal Goiano – Campus Urutaí

A sétima arte, assim denominada ao cinema pelo crítico cinematográfico Ricciotto Canuto em 1911 na obra Manifesto das Sete Artes, ainda movimenta o dia a dia de inúmeros jovens na sociedade, viabilizando a formação crítica de princípios vivenciados. Seu uso em âmbito educacional já foi bastante habitual, porém, o conhecimento no backstage é muito pouco afamado levando em consideração que seu uso não se encaixa a esse meio. Partindo desse pressuposto, bolsistas do PIBID/Biologia do Instituto Federal Goiano Câmpus Urutaí, juntamente com professores do Ensino Médio Técnico da instituição, levaram à II Mostra de Ciências e Artes do IF Goiano, a alternativa de Desvendar a Sétima Arte juntamente os discentes matriculados. Dois alunos do primeiro ano do curso técnico em informática, ambos com 16 anos, orientados pelos bolsistas, desenvolveram a atividade através de pesquisas e leituras. A II Mostra de Ciências e Artes do IF Goiano – Câmpus Urutaí ocorreu em novembro de 2014 no período matutino, com a participação de todos alunos matriculados na instituição e demais subprojetos do PIBID/CAPES. Foi utilizado pelos alunos uma banca de apresentação, onde foram expostas capas de filmes com triunfo nas telas, despertando o interesse dos visitantes. Em seguida eram enfatizadas informações, aspectos básicos e instigado o interesse sobre o funcionamento básico para se produzir imagens móveis, introduzindo então ao desvendamento da mesma. Para exemplificar, foi produzido pelos alunos, um experimento simples chamado de Caixa Preta, onde foram utilizados uma caixa de papelão grande, TNT preto, estilete e uma folha chamex A4 branca. Com o mesmo, é possível visualizar o reflexo de uma imagem qualquer sendo projetada no interior da caixa por um orifício feito a 30 cm da borda superior atingindo o aparato de chamex, tal resultado, é cientificamente explicado pelos princípios da ótica geométrica onde os raios de luz se propagam em linha reta, formando então uma imagem invertida. Portanto, alguns participantes ditaram a experiência como realista, enquanto outros encontraram dificuldades em visualizar imagens no aparato, porém ambos relevaram a surpresa em perceber a ciência presente no Backstage da arte.
Aula lúdica com o uso de maquete em sala de aula

A didática de maquete além de lúdica, tem ação metodológica e visa à interação entre os componentes envolvidos, é um recurso visual componente do ambiente da aprendizagem, que, quando usado de maneira adequada, desperta o interesse, aproxima ainda mais os alunos, e favorece o desenvolvimento da capacidade de observação. Quando a informação é obtida através da leitura, escrita, ou fala, obtém a falta de atenção dos mesmos, na sua grande maioria, enquanto o que está sendo visto, apresentado, e representado desperta o interesse, contribuindo para a percepção do objetivo proposto. Neste intuito, os alunos de Biologia do 3°período do IF Goiano – Campus Urutaí realizou uma maquete onde explicam as etapas da sucessão ecológica de uma determinada área mostrando em três etapas como surgiu um determinado ambiente.  Envolvendo o tema: de sucessão ecológica como foi dito anteriormente. O tema proposto aos alunos teve como objetivo: estimular o aluno, despertar seu interesse à cerca do assunto, e favorecer o desenvolvimento da capacidade de observação, e ter como objetivo principal melhor ficção da matéria. Foi utilizado para a maquete: placa de isopor, ilustrações de pequenos animais para a etapa1° e 2° e ilustrações de plantas maiores e também animais de médio e grande porte, tinta.  Os resultados obtidos com a realização da maquete são bastante positivos, tanto para os alunos que obtiveram maior aprendizado, e ficção da matéria e para o professor onde tiveram maior percepção e olhando para a maquete tiveram maior entendimento e recordaram assim o que o professor passou para os alunos dentro de sala além disso, a atividade proporcionou uma aproximação entre os alunos.
Importância da educação ecológica na preservação de espécies encontradas no meio urbano no âmbito do subprojeto de Ciências Biológicas do Pibid/IF Goiano - Campus Urutaí
Authors: Dourado et al. Fernando Wilson De Morais
Published: April 2019

A convivência entre seres humanos e animais tornou-se algo comum, visto que o meio urbano está progredindo sob os habitats dos animais, fazendo com que os mesmos passem a aparecer com mais frequência nas residências urbanas. Diversas espécies, são vistas como invasoras ou perigosas para humanos, ocasionando sua morte sem motivo, impedindo-as de exercer seu papel em manter o equilíbrio de interações. Partindo deste princípio o projeto proposto por estudantes bolsistas Pibid apresenta espécies típicas da região, que se manifestam com maior frequência no mesmo ambiente que humanos. Crianças de nove a quatorze anos de idade do centro de convivência localizado na cidade de Pires do Rio Go foram questionadas sobre quais espécies já viram, e qual o motivo de resistência. Como intuito de passar as crianças uma conscientização ecológica e importância da interação entre espécies para os seres humanos. Foi proposto as crianças que selecionassem uma espécie que possuíssem mais afinidade, e que se idealizassem no lugar do animal escolhido, usando os artefatos possíveis na condição de animais, e que deveriam se defender das ameaças causadas pelos humanos. Foi dado uma folha de papel em branco, para que cada criança pudesse desenhar, o animal escolhido. E que desenhassem, o modo escolhido para se defender dos humanos. Observaram que as crianças trouxeram uma bagagem de experiência, desfavorável em relação aos animais, considerando que esse comportamento das crianças vem da cultura e de falta de informação e medo. A resistência obteve diminuição significativa, pois foi apresentado as crianças a imensa importância das espécies abordados às crianças, tendo em vista que alguma espécie possui grande risco outras não, variando de espécie para espécie. Dos desenhos as crianças se dispuseram com a criatividade e se idealizarem em uma situação de perigo, algumas deixaram bem definido o ponto de vista sobre a ameaça que os humanos causam à natureza. Foi possível notar que o principal responsável pela rejeição das crianças e de falta de conhecimento, e, contudo, desconhecem os reais e fatais perigos de cada, e colaboração para o equilíbrio, e consequentemente interações ecológicas, podendo interromper ciclos doenças que atingem os seres humanos.
