Efeitos de sentidos de (in)sustentabilidade nos anúncios impressos do Banco Real/Santander
Authors: Teixeira Dinair Velleda
Published: May 2018

Resumo Neste artigo, o objetivo é refletir sobre o discurso do Banco Real/Santander1 sob dois aspectos: a) a marca de sua repetibilidade materializada em anúncios veiculados na Veja durante a Década da Educação para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável; b) como o banco constrói processos discursivos que conduzem à produção de efeito de sentidos de sustentabilidade nos anúncios. Dentre outras coisas, foi possível perceber que o processo discursivo do banco está ancorado em dizeres do interdiscurso, que dão origem à tomada de posição e, também, no seu próprio discurso anterior (anúncio).

Authors: Penteado Regina Zanella , Pechula Marcia Reami
Published: May 2018

Resumo O artigo aborda a expressividade na formação do jornalista nas interfaces Comunicação, Fonoaudiologia e Educação. Tem por objetivo dar visibilidade à expressividade em Jornalismo como dimensão da educação e da formação em Comunicação na contemporaneidade. O percurso metodológico envolve tematizar a expressividade em três instâncias: na historicidade da prática fonoaudiológica com jornalistas; na caracterização das ações em processos educacionais na formação de jornalistas; e na problematização das concepções e práticas, com questionamento das contribuições no que concerne à educação. O estudo subsidia uma compreensão ampliada da expressividade na formação em Jornalismo: que se possa dizer interativa, dialógica e criativa, com capacidades de desabilitar dispositivos de homogeneização e de espetacularização, além de agenciar processos de singularização, de subjetivação e de profissionalização.

Published: May 2018

RESUMO: Busca-se compreender a “Relação com o Saber” na produção de documentários científicos, por alunos do Ensino Médio, na disciplina de Biologia. Analisa-se aqui o documentário “Anomalias cromossômicas: um olhar sobre a Síndrome de Down” visando à mobilização dos alunos: suas relações particulares com o saber, com a ciência, com o mundo, consigo e com os outros. Para isso faz-se uma aproximação entre os referenciais da Análise de Discurso e a Relação com o Saber. Por meio da imagem de um cubo, uma matriz com os eixos x (interdiscurso), y (intradiscurso) e z (relação com o saber), observa-se tal harmonia no percurso de produção, possibilitando correlacionar memória discursiva, relação com o saber e sentidos produzidos.

PARA QUE ENSINAR CIÊNCIA NO SÉCULO XXI? - REFLEXÕES A PARTIR DA FILOSOFIA DE FEYERABEND E DO ENSINO SUBVERSIVO PARA UMA APRENDIZAGEM SIGNIFICATIVA CRÍTICA
Authors: Damasio Felipe , Peduzzi Luiz O. Q.
Published: May 2018

RESUMO: A sociedade contemporânea é marcada por mudanças drásticas e rápidas, e assim uma educação pautada em transmitir verdade, certezas, dicotomias, entidades isoladas vem perdendo o sentido. A escola poderá ser mais útil se preparar os alunos para não serem subjugados aos poderes dominantes presentes na sociedade em que vivemos. Em especial, a educação em ciências pode ter um papel importante nesta nova forma de ver a educação. Este trabalho relata uma pesquisa de caráter teórico e empírico que procurou explorar como as obras de Neil Postman, Paul Feyerabend e Marco Antonio Moreira podem contribuir para evidenciar como a educação científica pode ser útil no século XXI. A articulação desses referenciais para uma educação científica por meio de história da ciência tem o objetivo de formar pessoas questionadoras, flexíveis, criativas, inovadoras, tolerantes e progressistas; que segundo Postman e Moreira, são as que menos se subjugam aos poderes constituídos na sociedade contemporânea.

Financeirização da moradia e segregação socioespacial: Minha Casa, Minha Vida em São José dos Campos, Taubaté e Jacareí/SP
Authors: Alvarenga Daniela das Neves , Reschilian Paulo Romano
Published: May 2018

Resumo O presente artigo aborda o processo de internacionalização do capital financeiro no Brasil após a década de 1990, no período denominado neoliberal, e a política pública habitacional na fase neodesenvolvimentista, entre 2002 e 2016, por intermédio da produção de moradia vinculada ao Programa Federal Minha Casa, Minha Vida (MCMV). A discussão foi feita a partir do entendimento da forma pela qual a moradia de mercado se tornou um ativo financeiro, uma nova fronteira de ganhos para o mercado de capitais no espaço urbano, evidenciando a sofisticação do Sistema Financeiro Imobiliário (SFI) criado em 1997, e seu distanciamento do conceito da universalização da habitação enquanto direito. O objetivo do trabalho é demonstrar que as unidades habitacionais produzidas nas cidades de São José dos Campos, Taubaté e Jacareí, situadas na Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte (RMVPLN), no Estado de São Paulo, no período de 2009 a 2014, passaram a atender a esse novo mercado.
Análise teórica para desvendar o lento aceite da recente verticalização residencial em San José, Costa Rica
Authors: Acosta Sabrine
Published: May 2018

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo avaliar o surgimento e evolução do mercado imobiliário costarriquenho com o intuito de desvendar o contexto do forte vínculo com a terra e, por conseguinte, propor uma explicação ao lento aceite das novas tendências residenciais verticais. A metodologia consiste em pesquisas de campo anuais entre 2011 e 2017, revisão de fotografias e uma revisão bibliográfica de autores marxistas costarriquenhos, brasileiros e internacionais, com a intenção de formular uma discussão teórica para mostrar como as mudanças nos modos de produção e na economia local fortaleceram a relação entre a população e sua terra. Utiliza-se um amplo recorte temporal desde o período colonial até a atualidade com o intuito de analisar como, ao longo da evolução do mercado imobiliário, as diferentes formas de moradia permitiram manter esse forte arraigo pela terra. Posteriormente aborda-se o tema da recente verticalização residencial de luxo e se realiza uma análise semântica dessa, com a intenção de entender a reação da população frente a uma proposta residencial sem acesso a jardim ou espaço ao ar livre. Conclui-se que, embora possam existir outros fatores, o forte arraigo pela terra pode ser considerado um dos motivos principais do lento aceite dos novos empreendimentos verticais na Costa Rica.

Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed at evaluating whether changes in the insertion angle is a determining factor in the positioning of the miniscrews body in a region with larger interradicular space in the posterior maxilla. Methods: Analysis of 60 posterior maxillary quadrants were made using images obtained by means of cone-beam computed tomographic image (CBCT), with 0.076-mm voxel, which presented a real miniscrew inserted in the mesial region of the maxillary first molars, serving as reference point for the placement of the virtual miniscrews. Measurements of the distances between roots were made in three points on the body of the virtual miniscrews (A, B and C), at four different angulations, 70o, 60o, 50o and 40o (T1 to T4), in relation to the long axis of the second premolar. This evaluation was made in four groups, selected in accordance with the disposition of the roots of the second premolars and first molars: Group 1 (all types of roots), Group 2 (convergent roots), Group 3 (divergent roots) and Group 4 (parallel roots). Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the measurements of points A, B and C, at the different angles (70o, 60o, 50o and 40o) and in the different groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Changes in the insertion angle is not a determinant factor in the positioning of miniscrews body in regions with larger interradicular space in posterior maxilla.

Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: Treatment of maxillofacial injuries is complex and requires the establishment of a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis and correct treatment planning. Objective: The objective of this case report was to describe the re-treatment of a 27-year-old woman who was involved in a severe car accident that resulted in the loss of five anterior teeth and alveolar bone, and whose previous orthodontic and surgical treatments had been unsuccessful. Case report: In this case, the space for the missing mandibular molar was reopened to allow for rehabilitation. The positions of the mandibular incisors were improved. The right mandibular canine was moved to the mesial, allowing for correction of the Class II canine relationship on that side, and implants were placed to replace the maxillary anterior teeth. Conclusion: Anterior aesthetic and functional rehabilitation using a multidisciplinary approach was essential to improve the patient’s facial aesthetics, to obtain great improvement in function and to achieve occlusal stability after 2 years of follow-up.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the intensity and discomfort of perioperative thirst and related factors during anesthesia recovery. Method: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study. Results: Of the 203 participants, 182 (89.6%) reported they were thirsty. The mean intensity of thirst was 6.9 measured using a verbal numerical scale of 0 to 10 and discomfort was 7.3 on a scale of 0 to 14. All attributes evaluated by the scale were cited including dry mouth and desire to drink water (87.3%), dry lips (79.1%), thick tongue feeling (43.4%), thick saliva (56.5%), dry throat (75.2%) and bad taste in the mouth (63.1%). There was a positive correlation between the intensity of thirst and discomfort assessed by the scale (Spearman coefficient: 0.474; p-value: <0.05). No correlation was found between age, length of fasting and use of opioids with the intensity of thirst and discomfort. Conclusion and implication in the clinical practice: Discomfort arising from the attributes of thirst is evidenced as the intensity of thirst increases.
A Junta do Código Penal Militar de 1802: perspectivas, dilemas e resistências à reforma militar na corte de D. João
Authors: Souza Adriana Barreto de
Published: May 2018

Resumo A intenção deste artigo é vincular uma experiência prática, a da Junta do Código Penal Militar e de Melhoramento das Coudelarias do Reino, instituída pelo príncipe regente d. João em 1802, a um conjunto de reflexões sobre o foro militar e seu papel na estruturação das instituições militares, em especial do Exército. Considerando que os espaços políticos, bem como o registro do que neles ocorria, estavam à época submetidos à rigorosas normas de etiqueta, recorreremos aqui a memórias políticas e artigos do Jornal de Coimbra como “espaços de fala”, onde ideias, argumentos e críticas eram mais amplamente desenvolvidos. Acreditamos que este debate sobre legislação, justiça e hierarquia coloca em pauta a própria estruturação de uma profissão militar.

Dissolved organic matter (C, N, P) on the Pernambuco coast and Fernando de Noronha archipelago (Tropical Zone of Western South Atlantic, Brazil) - A contribution to the evaluation of environmental impact
Authors: Braga Elisabete de Santis , Berbel Glaucia Bueno Benedetti , Chiozzini Vitor Gonsalez
Published: May 2018

Abstract The dissolved organic compounds found in seawater offer an indication of biogeochemical processes and anthropogenic influence in the light of their concentrations and behavior associated with different oceanic areas. River inputs contribute with organic loads to seawater according to the level of natural and urban influence. A dilution of this material is expected toward ocean. Around oceanic islands, the quantity of organic matter results from the life cycle of marine organisms and from human occupation. The ratios of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and the association with dissolved oxygen can be used to evaluate the environmental conditions in terms of natural and anthropogenic impacts. Available information about the essential dissolved organic compounds (C, N and P) in seawater is rare. This study seeks to encourage the use of dissolved organic compounds in environmental impact assessment in coastal areas of Brazil. The spatial distribution of DOC, DON, DOP and urea was analyzed in four regions: Itamaracá (ITA), Recife Inner Shelf (RIS), Fernando de Noronha Island (FN) and Recife Harbor (RH), all in Pernambuco State - Brazil. In the case of DOC, the values obtained varied from 51.60 µmol L-1 (0.62 mg L-1) to 358.47 µmol L-1 (4.30 mg L-1), DOP values varied from 0.01 to 2.16 µmol L-1, both presenting their highest values in RH, the most intensely urbanized area. In relation to DON, an extremely high value 92.89 µmol L-1, with urea reaching 12 µmol L-1, both in RH, reflects organic and sanitary discharge. Sometimes the urea concentration was associated with precarious sewage treatment combined with tourist activity, as in the case of FN. No significant spatial variation was observed for DOP taking into account all the stations and regions, and the values presented a greater range of variation in FN. The DOC:DON ratios were higher than 7 (2-4 times the Redfield ratio) and revealed the quality of the organic matter and the importance of the local process of remineralization, confirming that the N-limitation enhanced the use of organic forms, mainly on FN. The preserved oligotrophic conditions of the RIS, Itamaracá and FN were observed in relation to dissolved organic compounds (C, N, P), but, as regards FN, effective monitoring actions are advisable as it is a pristine area.
Oligotrophic water conditions associated with organic matter regeneration support life and indicate pollution on the western side of Fernando de Noronha Island - NE, Brazil (3°S)
Authors: Braga Elisabete de Santis , Chiozzini Vitor Gonsalez , Berbel Gláucia Bueno Benedetti
Published: May 2018

Abstract Oligotrophy has its basis in low inorganic nutrient availability and it is generally known that in equatorial waters inorganic nutrient availability is insufficient to sustain the richness of life observed in some special places at this latitude. Thus, the understanding of the organic dissolved component role in N and P biogeochemical cycles could explain the support of the food chain in oligotrophic equatorial waters. This study was undertaken for the purpose of contributing to the knowledge of nutrient availability and the participation of dissolved organic components in the trophic conditions of an oceanic equatorial island in the South Atlantic. Water and phytoplankton were sampled on the western fringe of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago in March 2015. Tropical oceanic conditions prevailed in this oceanic domain with high salinity (>36.19) and temperatures (>28.30°C). The oceanic conditions assured a high pH and dissolved oxygen levels (>5.00 mL L-1). Alkalinity showed slight variations, its lowest values being associated with biological interaction. Suspended particulate matter was relatively low and its organic fraction was associated with the productive process and/or pollution contribution, which is confirmed mainly by high DON concentrations (~4.00 µmol L-1) with an association with high total chlorophyll in the primary production process and with urea in the pollution situation. The urea content attained 2.77 µmol L-1 at a waste disposal outlet when a contamination event was observed in the region. The available inorganic nutrients showed low concentrations with an N-ammonium average of 1.99±0.64 µmol L-1, nitrate with an average of 0.13±0.04 µmol L-1, and nitrite with an average of 0.19±0.13 µmol L-1. The DIN varied from 0.74 to 4.32 µmol L-1, principally represented by N-ammonium. DOC showed values of from 53 to 109 µmol L-1 and the DOC:DON ratio confirmed the organic source as being an inorganic N pool of oxidized organic matter and indicated that nitrogen-rich compounds are recycled faster than carbon-rich compounds. Total chlorophyll concentrations reached 0.81 mg m-3 and the noteworthy presence of filamentous cyanobacteria despite low inorganic nitrogen availability lead to a trophic chain initially supported with the contribution of a fixation process.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify factors predictive of mortality in patients admitted to the ICU with tuberculosis (TB)/HIV coinfection in the Manaus, Amazon Region. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of TB/HIV coinfected patients over 18 years of age who were admitted to an ICU in the city of Manaus, Brazil, between January of 2011 and December of 2014. Sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory variables were assessed. To identify factors predictive of mortality, we employed a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: During the study period, 120 patients with TB/HIV coinfection were admitted to the ICU. The mean age was 37.0 ± 11.7 years. Of the 120 patients evaluated, 94 (78.3%) died and 62 (66.0%) of those deaths having occurred within the first week after admission. Data on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and ARDS were available for 86 and 67 patients, respectively Of those 86, 75 (87.2%) underwent IMV, and, of those 67, 48 (71.6%) presented with ARDS. The factors found to be independently associated with mortality were IMV (p = 0.002), hypoalbuminemia (p = 0.013), and CD4 count < 200 cells/mm3 (p = 0.002). Conclusions: A high early mortality rate was observed among TB/HIV coinfected ICU patients. The factors predictive of mortality in this population were IMV, hypoalbuminemia, and severe immunosuppression.
Small Signal Audio Susceptibility Analysis of Flyback Converter With Peak Current Mode Control
Authors: Çengelci Ekrem
Published: May 2018

Small signal audio susceptibility of flyback converter with peak current
mode control method is presented by utilizing pwm-switch model in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM). The analysis provides input voltage to output voltage
transfer function together with its zeros and poles in symbolic form. Numerator
and denominator of the resultant transfer function are both 3rd order. While
symbolic equations of zeros are provided as exact solutions, the symbolic
equations of poles are provided as approximate solutions with the assumption
that the real pole is well separated from the resonant frequency of the complex
pole pair. Symbolically derived transfer function of flyback converter is
validated on a numerical example by time domain PSIM simulations on a switching
flyback converter model. The mathematical analysis and PSIM simulations of
input voltage to output voltage transfer function of the converter agree very
well up to frequencies below half the switching frequency.

Their structures were established by elemental analysis, TL-MS, 31P and 1H NMR spectral data. Stability constants were determined using a simple potentiometric titration. For evaluation of melting behavior and purity of derivatives (7) and (8), thermal transition peaks and their corresponding enthalpies were determined via DSC technique. Spectroscopic data, product types and relative yields are compared with those of the previously investigated derivatives of N3P3Cl6 (1) with aliphatic difunctional reagents.

Power, Ideology and Structure: The Legacy of Normalization for Intellectual Disability
Authors: Simpson Murray K.
Published: May 2018

Since its first formulation in English, the ‘principle of normalization’ has had a profound impact on policy and practice in the field of intellectual disability. Over the past fifty years, normalization, and Social Role Valorization, have drawn on liberal humanist philosophy, adopting varied and complex positions in relation to it. This article will consider an apparent structural correspondence between a discourse of ‘liberal equality’ with versions of normalization that emphasised conformity to social norms, and those drawing primarily on ‘liberal autonomy’, emphasising independence and self-determination of people with intellectual disabilities. Despite this seeming correspondence, the article eschews a structuralist account in favour of a discursive and rhizomatic model, in which the philosophical elements are seen as tactical forces deployed in the pursuit of wider strategic ends. The article concludes by highlighting paradoxes in contemporary thinking that can be traced to the legacy of normalization, specifically, the tensions between sameness, difference, equality and independence.

Authors: Tvaltvadze Darejan , Gvelesiani Irina
Published: May 2018

The 21st century shifted the world communities to an “electronic” stage of evolution. Drastic changes can be visualized in literature, linguistics and other humanitarian sciences. The greatest attention is paid to the promotion of linguistic researches, which are oriented towards electronic documenting of the language as well as on the intensive usage of digital methodologies and modern technologies. The reliance on these “technics” enables contemporary Georgian scientists to achieve principally new results and verify different models or hypotheses. Despite these circumstances, a lot must be done in the sphere of Kartvelology. The paper presents the university projects, which are oriented towards: involvement of students in researching activities dealing with the corpus-building;promotion of the development of digital Kartvelology; facilitation of creation of Georgian and foreign  scholars’ digital library and  text-corpus;development of Georgian scientific meta-language, etc. Therefore, promotion of digitalization, development of scientific meta-language, facilitation of the preservation of well-known scholars’ works, creation of digital libraries and establishment of modern methods crucial for the promotion of up-to-date teaching processes  – these are the main issues of our paper and  integral problems of today’s educational world. The methodology of research includes observation, analysis and evaluation of ongoing projects and their already-achieved/future outcomes. Certain prospects are visualised.
VALUE: EMPIRICS AND THEORY

Published: May 2018

Disclosure of the essence of the category "value" is not a prerequisite for its use: the introduction of this concept is correct and simple a priori. At the same time, it is obviously desirable. Objectives: 1) to show the connection between the concept of "value" and the empirical level; 2)to justify the interpretation of value from the perspective of information theory. Results. Manifestations of the "value" category in economic practice: the notions of "fair price", "reasonable profit", statistics of input-output balances, the world practice of planning of long-term energy production projects, etc. An adequate interpretation of value is the information concept: at the basis of value as the result of labor, and the rarity of a thing is information. Value is an information measure of the object’s worth. The complexity of operationalization does not ensue the unscientific (metaphysical) character of the concept of "value" as such. From the recognition of value as an objective basis for the observable price phenomenon, there appear very specific consequences: 1) feedback through the market must have an objective basis as a starting measure, that is, money must have a standard; 2) in some cases direct pricing (and / or their directive definition) is justified and appropriate.

Authors: Kruszewska Aleksandra
Published: May 2018

Despite many works concerning school maturity in Poland, there are only few that focus only on emotional aspects of social behaviours of children who are to start school education. Interest in this issue started increasing when educational authorities announced lowering the age of compulsory education. Majority of available studies concerns evaluation and abilities of children referring to their cognitive possibilities. Although they are very important for the children’s further development, the reasons for success are rather related to emotional and social intelligence. This article presents the research results concerning socio‑emotional competenciesof future pupils of the first year of primary school. Pedagogical observation comprises children from two years remaining at preschool before starting school education. The goal of the study was to present social and emotional state of the 6- and 7-year-old children after cancellation of, so called, “six-year-olds law”.

Authors: Avota Baiba
Published: May 2018

Distance learning is a favourable form of education in all professional fields. The necessity for repeated education and continuous renewal of knowledge and skills is acknowledged to be a fundamental demand in nowadays society. Distance learning is widespread and extensively studied from several aspects in many countries. In Latvia distance learning in medical studies is an underdeveloped sphere, which requires more attention, to acquire such an education strategy goal as lifelong learning. Along with technological development and introduction of distance learning it is essential to maintain quality and efficiency of education. Quality has more importance in open and distance learning, considering the virtual characteristics and physical distance between the trainees and the teaching staff. The literature review displays the significance of the teacher and student support mechanisms, internal and external evaluation processes, as well as strengthens academic culture and provides permanent cooperation and interaction with the interested parties in order to ensure a high quality study process of the distance learning. A competence-based approach is an important aspect in the professional development of medical practitioners and the assessment of knowledge, skills and competences from the student's point of view is an important indicator of the quality of education.
DATA MINING TEACHING POSSIBILITIES USING MATLAB
Authors: Grabusts Pēteris , Zorins Aleksejs
Published: May 2018

The teaching experience in the study process shows that students are better at perceiving graphical information rather than analytical relationships. Many training courses run on models that were previously available only in mathematics or physics. The use of Matlab package for the implementation of various algorithms in the Information Technology fields could be a possible solution. Often, the analytical solution is much simpler than the visual Matlab model, but for the purposes of perspective training it gives understanding of the usefulness of using such models. In the previous articles the authors had given examples of how Matlab's possibilities could be used for economic research purposes (optimal tax rate searching and modelling market equilibrium price). Students are very interested in modern data mining methods, such as artificial neural networks. In the research part of the study, the modelling capabilities in data mining studies are demonstrated by neural network examples.

Published: May 2018

Reading and writing are basic skills that guarantee child’s learning. Therefore, it is important that the child has mastered these skills to the best extent. Unfortunately, not all children can meet the requirements in the field of learning to read and write. Problems of varying intensity and range appear, they are caused by various disorders of the perceptual-motor functions. Children who may have problems with reading and writing in the future can already be seen in the kindergarten. Therefore, the aim of the study was to diagnose the risk of dyslexia and dysgraphia among children aged 5-6. The study included 300 children from kindergartens in Biała Podlaska, Poland. The results of the study showed that children at risk for dyslexia and dysgraphia are present in the study group. The most frequent manifestations of these disorders were in the field of fine motor skills, gross motor skills, language functions, visual functions and attention. They were caused by various factors related to the functioning of the nervous system that affect its development. Among the children diagnosed with these disorders, therapeutic measures have been taken to help reduce developmental delays and make it easier for them to learn in primary school.

Published: May 2018

The article reveals opportunities of information communication means in creating experiential teaching environments and provides insights for the development of experiential teaching/learning opportunities in a primary school. Experiential learning, which treats a person as a whole and emphasizes one’s unlimited potential opportunities, covers all three dimensions of teaching/learning: cognitive (i.e. perceptual), effective (emotional) and social (behavioural), and accordingly is a condition for the teaching/learning success. A qualitative research that involved teachers of primary schools (teachers of 1-2 and 3-4 grades) has been carried out. Content analysis of the results of the research revealed the essential conditions for using ICT means in creating experiential teaching/learning environments in a primary school and preconditions for creating experiential learning environments: sufficient special competences of primary school teachers to use ICT means, insufficient competences to create an experiential teaching/learning environment in a school (lack of knowledge and skills), lack of ICT means in classrooms, lack of cooperation between primary education teachers and of their motivation.

Published: May 2018

The article presents the results of the qualitative research which provide a deeper understanding of the factors determining vulnerability on online social networks among teenage girls attending a Child Day Care Centre. The research has involved the specialists from Child Day Care Centres of different towns and districts of Lithuania. A version of a systematic grounded theory (Strauss Corbin, 1990) has been applied to conduct the research; it has helped to construct the phenomenon – Insight into threats on online social networks: “One step and everything can end up badly”. By applying the paradigmatic model of “cause and effect” of the systematic grounded theory, reasons for the development of this phenomenon, contextual and intervening factors, strategies of actions/interactions applied by the specialists as well as the manifested consequences have been distinguished.

THE LEGAL SITUATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN LATVIA
Authors: Kulačkovska Judīte
Published: May 2018

Each year the number of people with disabilities in Latvia increases. More and more children are born with congenital problems. Many opportunities are not used to integrate disabled people in the society. The study aims to evaluate the legal situation in Latvia of both children and adults with disabilities. People with functional disorders are an integral part of society and the legislative framework should prevent their discrimination. While carrying out the analysis of legal framework defining documents, as well as the reflection of personal experience, it was found that the actual situation in the country does not entirely meet with the legal framework. People with special needs in both Latvian statutes and everyday life are still denoted with a term ’invalid’. In assessing the dynamics of the number of disabled children, it was found that the number of such children is increasing.

Published: May 2018

Students and their behaviour at school has been the subject matter of many scientific texts. This article aims to present Croatian and international literature of the past 30 years on the subject of school discipline. School and classroom discipline, or lack thereof, is a problem that troubles many schools around the world. The article discusses the epistemological roots of the term discipline. Looking at discipline from a pedagogical point of view, it is not considered to mean unquestioned obedience, but a requirement for achieving a high quality learning and teaching process. As such, discipline does not represent the objective of the teaching process, but rather a means of ensuring optimal and encouraging circumstances, as well as harmonious cooperation between students and teachers. Working in such conditions is characterized by a high degree of commitment and motivation of all participants of the teaching process. The article presents possible causes of indiscipline, the importance of a teacher’s personality in achieving the desired discipline and possible strategies for classroom management. The authors present several suggestions that could help teachers practitioners in establishing and maintaining discipline.
