POLÍTICA DE FORMAÇÃO PARA JOVENS E ADULTOS TRABALHADORES: O CURRÍCULO DO PROGRAMA NOVA EJA PARA O ENSINO DE FÍSICA NO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Pinto Sandro dos Santos
Published: December 2020

No presente artigo, analisamos possíveis sentidos sobre formação humana, no âmbito do currículo destinado ao ensino de Física, no Programa Nova EJA (NEJA), implementado em 2013 para a modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) nas escolas públicas da rede estadual do Rio de Janeiro. Do ponto de vista teórico-epistêmico, nos referenciamos à perspectiva histórico-ontológica (Saviani e Duarte, 2010) da formação humana, enquanto princípio educativo (Gramsci, 2014), no ensino de Física do programa em referência. A partir do método do materialismo histórico-dialético e da compreensão da linguagem enquanto produção ideológica (Bakhtin, 2006), procedemos à análise dos documentos do programa e do material didático para o ensino de Física. Os resultados da pesquisa nos indicaram, entre outros, uma forte de tendência de resumir o ensino de Física à resolução de problemas matemáticos com frágil vinculação aos chamados conteúdos físicos. A pesquisa também evidenciou que a presença de professores sem formação na licenciatura de Física, nos quadros do Nova EJA, favorece ao reducionismo do ensino da Física, por sua ênfase na resolução de problemas sem diálogo com a prática social de jovens e adultos, o que pode comprometer o processo formativo destes sujeitos na sua relação com os conhecimentos físicos socialmente produzidos. Essa tendência se agrava, quando se consideram os entraves presentes no material didático, no que tange à sua qualidade e à falta de vínculos com a prática social do estudante da EJA.

EL CAMINO DE LA EDUCACION DE LOS PUEBLOS INDIGENAS EN EL DEPARTAMENTO DEL CAUCA, COLOMBIA: de la etnoeducación a la educación propia
Authors: Fayad Javier Alfredo
Published: December 2020

En este artículo se propone valorar las formas, prácticas y propuestas que las comunidades indígenas han elaborado en función de sus proyectos de educación propia, como resultado de presiones y luchas ante el modelo de educación oficial. La historia de implementación de la educación en las comunidades indígenas ha sido la negación de sus idiomas y formas culturales a partir del modelo de educación evangelizadora, republicana y estandarizada. Los cambios en ese camino muestran el paso de la etnoeducación a la educación propia indígena, que se reconoce en Colombia gracias a la Constitución de 1991 y a las luchas de las comunidades por transformar el modelo institucionalizado de educación, al proponer una educación que reconozca los principios culturales, los idiomas, las lógicas otrasde los pueblos indígenas. Los aportes de los pueblos Nasa y Misak en el departamento del Cauca demuestran la riqueza de cómo se viene investigando, indagando y tratando de fortalecer una propuesta educativa desde las comunidades. THE PATH OF EDUCATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CAUCA, COLOMBIA:from ethnoeducation to own education ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to discuss the practices and proposals of education projects that indigenous communities have elaborated, against the official education model. The history of implementation of education in indigenous communities has been the negation of their languages and cultural forms based on the evangelizing, republican and standardized education model. The changes in this path show the passage from ethnoeducation to indigenous education itself, recognized in the 1991 Constitution. The contributions of the Nasa and Misak peoples in the department of Cauca demonstrate the way that they are trying to strengthen an educational proposal from the communities.Key-words: Ethnoeducation.

ENFRENTANDO A ESCRITA-EM-DÍVIDA NA FORMAÇÃO DE PESQUISADORES
Authors: Machado Adriana Marcondes , Hahne Beatriz Saks , Martinez Carolina Terruggi
Published: December 2020

O contexto de produção de pesquisas na pós-graduação stricto sensu Brasil afora tem chamado a atenção de pesquisadores e sido noticiado em mídias impressas que alertam sobre os efeitos produzidos nos corpos: estresse, depressão e ansiedade. Somadas a isso, a limitação dos prazos e a necessidade de publicação de artigos como atividade contínua em nome das boas avaliações e da justificação da concessão de bolsas de estudo e de outras condições mínimas para realização das pesquisas constituem um cenário em que a relação com a escrita passa a ser vivida como algo da ordem do impossível – nomeamos essa posição de escrita-em-dívida. A palavra dívida terá relação com um processo de medicalização em que uma posição normalizadora dá contorno e sentido ao existente. Abordaremos a escrita como território de enfrentamento à sensação do impraticável na produção acadêmica e apresentaremos um dispositivo utilizado com estudantes de pós-graduação em curso de Psicologia na relação escritura-pesquisa; a escrita de cartas em que se dá a experimentação de uma outra posição em relação àquilo que se escreve e às palavras elegidas. Os deslocamentos de pensamento operados no exercício da escrita endereçada permitem enfrentar o que impossibilita a formulação do texto, pois operam uma torção do autor em relação à própria produção.

NO BRASIL AS TENDÊNCIAS RELIGIOSAS CONTINUAM: DECLÍNIO CATÓLICO E CRESCIMENTO EVANGÉLICO
Authors: Oro Ari Pedro
Published: December 2020

Concernente ao Brasil, Sébastien Fath, em seu texto “Das margens ao mainstream: desafios sociais da ascensão evangélica, uma comparação transamericana”, reitera, acertadamente, duas tendências predominantes, a saber: o declínio católico e o crescimento evangélico. Este texto apresenta as principais reflexões produzidas por cientistas sociais para explicar essa reconfiguração da paisagem religiosa que há algumas décadas está ocorrendo no país. Especialmente, analisa a questão acerca da possibilidade dos evangélicos suplantarem os católicos no Brasil, avança hipóteses sobre as duas linhas de força referidas, destacando que elas resultam de situações internas e externas a cada uma das instituições religiosas e, enfim, o texto apresenta algumas afinidades observadas nos campos evangélicos do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos.
PROMOVENDO A "CULTURA DO REINO": NOTAS SOBRE MÚSICA, RELIGIÃO E CULTURA A PARTIR DE UMA JUVENTUDE EVANGÉLICA NO SUL DO BRASIL
Authors: Aguiar Taylor Pedroso de
Published: December 2020

A categoria “cultura” tem sido acionada por agentes do meio religioso como um conceito que fortalece determinadas relações entre religião e espaço público no Brasil. No caso evangélico, o termo “cultura gospel” é um elemento importante em aproximações com políticas culturais através da música, apresentando-se enquanto um marcador identitário que refletiria uma “cultura evangélica”. Para discutir pontos dentro desse debate, este trabalho se debruça etnograficamente sobre os cultos da Brasa Church – movimento de jovens da Igreja Brasa, em Porto Alegre/RS – e sobre a tendência musical adotada por aquela comunidade evangélica: o worship. À medida que revela uma visão de igreja específica, a adoração na Brasa Church permite visualizar nuances em torno dos sentidos de cultura para os evangélicos. Pretende-se demonstrar limites quanto às definições do gospel no Brasil, ao tempo em que se procura discutir alguns dos contornos da “cultura do Reino” que o worship tem buscado promover.
The impact of CEO power on different measures of environmental disclosure: Evidence from U.S. firms
Authors: Wukich Jacqueline Jarosz
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this paper is to investigate if the detriment to environmental (E) disclosures as a result of a chief executive officer’s (CEO) power is different for outcome versus intention-oriented disclosure characteristics. This paper creates four measures to capture the diverse nature of E disclosures that vary in the degree of accountability and comparability they provide: a) qualitative, b) quantitative, c) effectiveness, and d) effort. Seemingly unrelated regression is used on a sample of over 2,200 U.S. publicly traded companies. Findings suggest that the relationship between CEO power and E disclosures is not uniform. Powerful CEOs suppression of the most comparable outcome-based environmental disclosures (effectiveness) is greater than the suppression of other environmental disclosures. This is a particularly relevant relationship given shifts in corporate priorities as demonstrated by the proliferation of impact investing, the growth in E reporting, and the CEO’s stated commitment to maximizing stakeholder wealth that was discussed at the August 2019 Business Roundtable
Natural Seedling Recruitment and Regeneration in Deforested and Sand-Filled Mangrove Forest at Eagle Island, Niger Delta Nigeria
Authors: Numbere Aroloye O.
Published: December 2020

Seed recruitment is a major driver of mangrove restoration globally. It
is hypothesized that soil condition and channel hydrology can accelerate
seedling recruitment and regeneration after a major disturbance. Species
abundance, diversity indices, microbial and chemical concentrations in
sand-filled mangrove forest was studied. Eight plots (area = 3902.16 m2)
were established with ten transects in each plot in a random block
design to investigate the effect of soil conditions on seedling growth.
A total of 1, 886 seedlings were physically counted. Seedling abundance
was significantly different between red (Rizophora racemosa), white
(Laguncularia racemosa) and black (Avicennia germinans) mangroves and
nypa palm (nypa fruticans). The most dominant species was black
mangroves and the least dominant species was nypa palm. Muddy soils had
the most abundant species while sandy soils had the least abundant
species. Furthermore, semi-muddy soils had the highest species diversity
(H = 0.948) whereas muddy soils had the least species diversity (H =
0.022). The soil metal concentration has no correlation with seed
abundance and occur in the order
Iron>Nitrate>Copper>Cadmium. Soil
with high species diversity had high soil microbial population; however,
seedling abundance was correlated with soil nutrients and not heavy
metals. Small seeds are easily recruited while good soil condition plus
existing hydrological connection facilitated natural seedling
regeneration in the disturbed mangrove forest.

Use of photo-fenton for macrolide antibiotic azithromycin removal
Authors: Jaramillo-Baquero Marcela , Zúñiga-Benítez Henry , Peñuela Gustavo
Published: December 2020

Azithromycin (AZT) is one of the most used antibiotics worldwide. This has
led to its introduction into different environmental compartments, which
implies that conventional technologies used in wastewater treatment are not
enough to remove this kind of pollutants. Photo-Fenton is an advanced
oxidation process in which ferrous ions (Fe2+), under light radiation,
catalyzes H2O2 decomposition generating hydroxyl free radicals (HO?) which
have the potential to oxidize different organic molecules. In this way, this
study presents the main results regarding the evaluation of photo-Fenton
using simulated sunlight in the removal of AZT from aqueous solutions. The
effects of operational parameters such as ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide
initial concentrations were assessed. In addition, some tests were carried
out in order to evaluate the extent of pollutant mineralization considering
the dissolved organic carbon and the nitrate ions presence on treated
samples. In general, results indicated that Fe2+ and H2O2 initial
concentrations have a significant effect on pollutant removal.

Authors: Djurovic Ana , Stojanovic Zorica , Kravic Snezana , Brezo-Borjan Tanja , Kos Jovana
Published: December 2020

In this paper a sensitive voltammetric method was developed for determination
of vitamin D3 in commercial dietetic supplements using unmodified glassy
carbon electrode as a working electrode. Following the optimization of the
square-wave voltammetric method, the linear relationship between the peak
current and vitamin D3 concentration was perceived in the concentration
range of 1.25-105 ?mol/L. The calculated values of detection limit and
quantification limit were 0.24 and 0.73 ?mol/L, respectively. In addition,
the developed analytical procedure revealed exceptional precision with RSD
values for intra- and inter-day (n=7) lower than 3%. Finally, developed
voltammetric method was successfully applied for the determination of
vitamin D3 in dietetic supplements using standard addition method.

Published: December 2020

Due to renewed interest in fruit residue application, cashew apple pomace and
other fruit pomace are receiving unparallel attention as substitute for food
ingredient or food enrichment options. This necessitates this study to
investigate drying as vital approach in preserving and conditioning cashew
apple pomace. In this study, cashew apple fruits were blended in fruit
blender and filtered through 150 microns filter; the filtrate was further
tightened in a fabric material and pressed with manual hydraulic press to
further express the juice in it. The pomace was stored in a refrigerator at
3 ?C for 18 h to homogenise the moisture. The pomace was divided into nine
equal weights, a portion was fed into hot air oven dryer at 60 ?C and
constant circulating air velocity of 2.2 m/s, the changes in mass was
measured using digital mass balance after every 10 minutes. The procedure
was repeated at 70 and 80 ?C and in triplicate; in each case the mass of the
samples was measured. It was found that cashew pomace dry under a single
falling rate period, effective moisture diffusivity increased with
increasing drying temperature and ranges from 9.02015?10-9 to 2.12177?10-8,
activation energy was estimated as 41.880 kJ/K, specific drying energy
consumption decreased with increasing drying temperature and ranges from
24.1 to 45.3 MJ/kg. Our proposed drying model was found to adequately
simulate the drying kinetics of cashew apple pomace.

Published: December 2020

Utilization of carotenoids as a nutraceutical ingredients or natural
colorants within foods is currently limited due to their instability.
Encapsulation is one of the prominent means used to improve carotenoid
stability. In this study the content of bioactive compounds (lycopene,
?-carotene and phenolics) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, superoxide
anion and reducing power test) were investigated in the tomato waste
extract. Based on the obtained results, tomato waste showed high contents of
lycopene (13.72 mg/100 g DW), ?-carotene (12.36 mg/100 g DW) and phenolic
compounds (203.33 mg/100 g DW). Also, high values of antioxidant activity
were determined in all applied tests. To protect extracted sensitive
carotenoid compounds (lycopene and ?-carotene) tomato waste extract was
encapsulated with various encapsulating materials (soy protein, pea protein,
inulin and gum arabica) by freeze drying method. The influence of applying
different encapsulating materials on the encapsulation efficiency of
carotenoids (lycopene and ?-carotene) was studied. Also, obtained
encapsulates were characterized in terms of water activity, moisture
content, hygroscopicity, flowability, density ratios and particles size.
Encapsulate on the basis of gum arabic showed highest encapsulation
efficiency of ?-carotene (53.47%), while encapsulate prepared with soy
protein as encapsulating material showed highest encapsulation efficiency of
lycopene (51.44%). The results of this study support the need for
preparation of encapsulates with different encapsulating material and
evaluation of their characteristics with the aim of development powder forms
suitable for supplementation and food fortification.

Published: December 2020

Ephedra alata, Ononis angustissima, and Genista saharae are endemic Algerian
plants with pharmacological potential, used for centuries in traditional
medicine. Herein the efficiency of subcritical water extraction (SWE) of
phenols and flavonoids from these plants was evaluated by spectrophotometric
assays. The most important operational parameters of the technique
(temperature, pressure, time) were optimized for each plant based on phenols
yield. At defined optimal extraction conditions (140?C for E. alata, 155?C
for O. angustissima and G. saharae, 50 bars, 15min), maximum contents of
phenols in the extracts were 16.13, 18.33, and 21.12 mg GAE/g dry weight,
for E. alata, O. angustissima, and G. saharae, respectively. Considering the
safety of the used solvent, excellent yields of phenols and short extraction
time, subcritical water extraction can efficiently be used in exploitation
of pharmacological potentials of the studied plants.
Toward an Understanding of Audit Team Distribution and Performance Quality
Authors: Downey Denise Hanes , Obermire Kara M. , Zehms Karla M.
Published: December 2020

We develop and test a model that anticipates detrimental performance effects in within-office distributed teams (i.e., teams based out of the same office that conduct work at different geographic locations). This setting offers a clean test of theory around distributed work because it eliminates confounding factors such as differences in culture and language. Using an experiential questionnaire we find that greater distribution is negatively associated with team communication (quality, ease, and spontaneity) and auditors' sense of shared context (access to the same information, mutual understanding, and common norms), which are in turn negatively associated with engagement performance (efficiency, commitment to excellence, overall work quality, adhering to the budget, and the team's innovative approach). Further, we find an indirect effect between distribution and performance through communication and shared context when accountability is lower, but not higher, implying that accountability interventions have the potential to aid performance quality in distributed teams.

Communicating Assurance Using Practitioner-Customized Procedures: An Experiment and Emerging Research Opportunities
Authors: Vera-Muñoz Sandra C. , Gaynor Lisa Milici , Kinney William R.
Published: December 2020

Traditionally, financial and nonfinancial information assurance standards have specified either “high” assurance based on “sufficient evidence” or “moderate” assurance based on analytical procedures and inquiries. Recently, in response to rapidly growing nonfinancial assurance demand, the IAASB extended the possible range of limited assurance by allowing practitioner-customized procedure descriptions and assuming diverse users can “appreciate” the varying reliability achieved. To test the validity of this policy change, we examine report users' confidence judgments for a GHG emissions assurance report using combinations of report attributes: critical practitioner-customized procedure descriptions, conclusion frame, and engagement label. We find that, consistent with an “assurance communication gap,” including or explicitly excluding a practitioner-customized procedure deemed essential-for-reasonable assurance does not significantly affect users' confidence judgments. However, we find that both positive conclusion frames and reasonable assurance engagement labels incrementally enhance confidence judgments. We outline research and practice opportunities related to emerging policy prescriptions involving practitioner-customized procedures.

Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate whether sedentary time (ST) and/or sedentary behavior patterns are related to incident diabetes in the U.S.’s oldest age-groups.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Women without physician-diagnosed diabetes (n = 4,839, mean ± SD age = 79 ± 7 years) wore accelerometers for ≥4 days and were followed up to 6 years for self-reported newly diagnosed diabetes requiring treatment with medications. Hazard ratios (HRs) for incident diabetes were estimated across quartiles of accelerometer-measured ST and mean bout duration with use of Cox proportional hazards models. We conducted isotemporal substitution analyses using Cox regression and tested associations with risk for diabetes after statistically replacing ST with light physical activity (PA) or moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and after replacing light PA with MVPA.

RESULTS

During 20,949 person-years, 342 diabetes cases were identified. Women in ST quartile (Q)2, Q3, and Q4 (vs. Q1) had incident diabetes HR 1.20 (95% CI 0.87–1.65), 1.33 (0.97–1.82), and 1.21 (0.86–1.70); Ptrend = 0.04. Respective HRs following additional adjustment for BMI and MVPA were 1.04 (95% CI 0.74–1.47), 1.04 (0.72–1.50), and 0.85 (0.56–1.29); Ptrend = 0.90. Fully adjusted isotemporal substitution results indicated that each 30 min of ST replaced with MVPA (but not light PA) was associated with 15% lower risk for diabetes (HR 0.85 [95% CI 0.75–0.96]; P = 0.01); the HR for replacing 30 min of light PA with MVPA was 0.85 (95% CI 0.73–0.98); P = 0.03. Mean bout duration was not associated with incident diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS

Statistically replacing ST or light PA with MVPA was associated with lower diabetes risk in older women. While reducing ST is important for several health outcomes, results indicate that to reduce diabetes risk among older adults, the primary public health focus should be on increasing MVPA.

The concept of organizing the activities of industrial enterprises on an innovative basis was revealed. The importance of solving organization issues in the context of accelerated scientific and technological progress and permanent crises was showed. Some benefits of improving the organization of industrial activities on an innovative basis were outlined. Enterprises should increase the efficiency of their activities by implementing a set of measures to improve the organization of production with innovative content, the vast majority of which can be used in the production process without significant investment. And most importantly, measures in this direction will contribute to the effective use of the available resource potential of existing industrial enterprises, increase their competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets in conditions of fierce competition. Forecasting these problems in the conditions of specific industrial enterprises is due to the need to properly monitor the phased implementation of project activities and their targeting to achieve coordinated operation of production units and their elements in the process of performing production tasks related to the production of innovative products. It is not only about achieving the goals of industrial enterprises on the projects identified in the modernization of their activities, but also about the rational use of investment funds for the successful implementation of such projects. In this context, it is important to take into account that the targeted use of investment funds will allow not only to use them effectively, but also to anticipate the rational use of investments in those parts of the production process that are subject to organized coordinated operation.

Introduction. The cargo frame is a load-bearing element of the car, since the body and chassis are installed on it. Therefore, high strength requirements are imposed on this node. For safe and reliable operation of the truck, the frame must be adjusted and balanced, since even minor changes in the geometry can negatively affect the overall condition and safe operation of the equipment. This article discusses methods for lengthening the load-bearing elements of trucks on the example of a light-duty car "GAZelle". Problem Statement. Car frame extension is a high-tech process that requires high precision, knowledge, and the use of a wide range of equipment. The extended frame adds a number of advantages to the car, which in turn makes it possible to transport cargo with larger dimensions. The main goal of this work is to enable the car to transport bulky cargo. Also, in the process of extending the frame, it is checked for cracks, breaks and corrosion foci and, if necessary, repairs are made, which increases the reliability, safety and service life of the entire structure as a whole. Theoretical Part. When extending the standard support, all attachments are removed from the car: fuel tanks, body, transmission, drive shaft. All that remains is the cab, the bridge, and the engine. Then the frame is cut in three places. Two cuts are made at a distance of 80 cm in the direction from the cab to the rear bridge, and the last one is made at a distance of 40 cm from the rear bridge in the direction of the rear overhang. Then a longer channel is installed on the frame. It is secured with rivets, bolts, or lap welding. After that, the structure is assembled back. This takes into account the redistribution of loads and the need for high-quality performance of all types of work. Conclusion. The frame is an integral part of not only trucks, but also an important component of passenger cars, as well as light-duty vehicles. Its technical condition is just as important as the condition of, for example, the braking system, as it also ensures the safety of both the driver and pedestrians. The lengthening of the frame in the conditions of repair and mechanical enterprises allows you to increase the load capacity of serial cars of the GAZelle series while ensuring their reliability and safety.
