Negara Islam Indonesia Dan Kartosuwiryo
Authors: Miftakhur Ridlo
Published: February 2020

Kartosuwiryo was known by many as the plagiarist of the Islamic State of Indonesia, on August 7, 1949 in West Java. Kartosuwiryo has a very complex movement, including the conception of politics, military and religion, even considered as a revolutionary way. Kartosuwiryo made Islam an ideology of politics, where according to him every political struggle must hold on to political faith, which is ideology and realistic. The military movement began when Kartosuwiryo formed the Suffah Institute, which became the forerunner of Hizbullah and Sabilillah soldiers. The emergence of the Indonesian Islamic State proclamation movement was the implementation of a Kartosuwiryo thought which contained the concept of hijrah and jihad. Basically this attitude aims at the PSII political foundation, which is sourced from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This attitude contains, among others: First, contains devotion to God. Second, tell the situation before the Prophet's migration. Third, narrating the Prophet's migration from Mecca to Medina. Fourth, the first year of migration. Fifth, Islamic history from the 2nd century to the 8th century H.

Yevhen Onatskyi is an almost forgotten Ukrainian lexicographer
Authors: Mushynka Mykola
Published: February 2020

He was born in the village Hlukhiv of Sumy region (1894–1979). Graduated from high school in Kamianets-Podilskyi (1912), he got the historical-philological education in Kyiv (1917). In 23-year-old he became a member and than a secretary of the Ukrainian Central Rada. In 1917–19s he was a librarian of the City Art and Industry Museum of Kyiv. Since 1919 he had been in Austria, Switzerland, Italy; since 1947 he lived in Argentina. There, Yevhen Onatskyi started to create his The Small Ukrainian Encyclopedia, that had been printed since 1957 to 1967 in the 16 books. This is an author’s encyclopedia. In 1968, the author of this article was able to receive two sets of the encyclopedia from Ye. Onatskyi along with his other works.
Optimal timing of artificial insemination in gilts
Authors: Usenko Svitlana
Published: February 2020

In the article it is highlighted the results of research on the features of cervix permeability and optimal periods of fertilization in pubertal gilts. Five high-productive boars of the Large White breed, aged 18-36 months, were used in experiments and evaluated for the quality of sperm. The start of the estrus was carried out using a test boar. In the first experiment to determine the permeability of the cervical canal, 3 groups of the Large White breed were formed for 15 heads in each, which were inseminated at the onset: of the first (1st group), the second (2nd group) and the third period of the estrus at the age of 6 - 8 months. Gilt were fertilized with a sperm dosage of 70 ml of a diluent containing 2 billion of spermatozoa. In the second experiment to determine the optimal timing of insemination, 66 gilt of the Large White breed aged 8 to 9 months, live weight 110-130 kg, with clear signs of the start of proestrus, estrus and diestrus were used. The beginning of the estrus was set twice a day at 7 o'clock and 19 o'clock. The doses of sperm (2 billion of spermatozoa in 70 ml of diluent) were injected into the gilts according to the following scheme: Group I - after the prescribed period of the estrus - 0 hours; Group II - after 6 hours; III - group - 12 hours; Group IV - 18 hours; V - 24 hours; VI - 36 hours.
It has been determined that cervical permeability increases with age of gilts and the number of reproductive cycles.
In gilts, in the first reproductive cycle, the permeability of the cervical canal is 4.61 cm and intensively increases twice: 1.9 (p <0.001) (2nd estrus) and 2.5 times (p <0.001) (3rd estrus). The introduction of sperm by the intracerviсal method on the third period of the estrus allows them to be fertilized at a level of 86 % and receive 10.2 newborn piglets.Cervix permeability in gilts increases from the beginning of the estrus for the next 24 hours. The high indexes of their reproductive capacity are determined at the introduction of sperm dosage in 24-36 hours after the onset of the estrus. The number of live newborns piglets was maximal when sperm is introduced into cervix of gilts in 12; 24 and 30 hours after the start of the estrus. The live weight of newborn piglets depends on the period of the introduction of sperm into the pigs, being maximal at the start of the estrus, and in 24 and 30 hours after the introduction of sperm. The postponement of the procedure up to 36 hours leads to a decrease of this index (p <0.001).
Key words: reproductive cycle, estrus, cervix, fertilization, sperm, gilt.
Learners as Researchers of their Own Language Learning: Examples from an Autonomy Classroom
Authors: Dam Leni
Published: February 2020

Learners have in the past quite often been involved in research projects as co-researchers, and have, for example, provided researchers and teachers with data. This paper describes how learners can be systematically supported in becoming researchers of their own language learning in an autonomy classroom. In doing so, the similarities between the work/research cycles involved when developing language learner autonomy and when supporting learners in becoming researchers of their own language learning are exemplified. Furthermore, useful and necessary tools and pre-requisites for the two parallel processes in question are pointed out and illustrated. After two examples with learners as co-researchers at beginners’ level and one example of a complete research cycle from one student at intermediate level, the paper concludes that a learner developing his or her autonomy is at the same time researching his or her own language learning. As a corollary the teacher’s role changes from an action researcher to a co-researcher in the autonomy classroom.
The Development of FL Oral Production and Autonomy Through Peer Collaboration and the Use of ICT
Authors: Sprenger Terezinha Maria , Guerra Ramos Rosinda de Castro
Published: February 2020

This paper focuses on the development of learner autonomy and foreign language oral production through peer collaboration in a Brazilian teacher education program. Brazilian students seldom have the opportunity to speak English beyond the classroom. In pre-service English teacher development, few students are proficient in the language, and to become teachers, they all need to make the most of opportunities to improve their competence in the language and to familiarize themselves with all the aspects of teaching and learning. This situation and the fact the university had an underused ICT laboratory for teacher development, led to the organization of a social learning space to stimulate autonomous work and collaboration among students beyond the classroom. A few students participated as volunteer collaborators, and their engagement in the activities was analyzed to find out whether they had opportunities to develop autonomy and oral skills. The aim of the paper is twofold: first, to describe the course of action designed for this context, drawing from literature on learner autonomy (Benson, 2000, 2011; Dam, 2000; Kohonen, 1992; Little, 1996; 1997; Murray, 2014) and social learning spaces (Allhouse, 2015; Heigham, 2011; Murray, 2014); and second, to discuss the development and preliminary results of this process.

Development of a List of Affective Competencies and Behavioral Indicators for Physical and Occupational Therapy
Authors: Bumanglag Ma. Liezel
Published: February 2020

Background: Affective competencies, as demonstrated by behaviors acted upon by people, are essential components in providing optimal care and receiving trust from patients and clients of physical (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs). These, along with knowledge and skills, have to be developed early on in the educational system. If these are generated, PT and OT schools will be guided on how to inculcate them in their respective outcomes-based education designs, from planning to assessment. Assessment of the manifestation of these affective competencies is a challenge to educators; thus, the need for behavioral indicators for each. This study developed a list of the necessary affective competencies and their behavioral indicators for PT and OT.

Methodology: A sample of experts from different fields of practice in the PT and OT population groups underwent three rounds of generation and refinement to create a list of affective competencies and their consequent behavioral indicators. To come up with the final list, testing for group consistency was done using Cronbach’s alpha and mean ranks.

Results: Forty-two PT and twenty-five OT experts generated the final list of affective competencies and their behavioral indicators. For the PTs, those competencies are accountability, adaptability/flexibility, altruism, compassion, creativity, diligence, effective communication, ethical reasoning, excellence, honesty, initiative, passion, patience, perseverance, professionalism, reliability, responsibility, self-reflection, and time management. For the OTs, these are altruism, compassion, conscientiousness, creativity, inquisitiveness, professionalism, and responsibility.

Conclusion: The list of affective competencies and behavioral indicators generated by experts in this study were mostly reflective of the existing code of ethics of the professions, with some not stated explicitly but were reflected as such in the behavioral indicators of the other competencies.
Digital culture & information culture: human rights in the age of digital transformation

Published: February 2020

It has been demonstrated that the digitalisation raises numerous issues of regulation of legal relationships associated with it, and also forms new directions for human rights. It is established that the lack of common terminology, in particular regarding information and digital cultures, makes it impossible to understand the possibilities and therefore the rights that arise or get modifications as a result of digital transformations
Photometric Analyses of Saturn’s Small Moons: Aegaeon, Methone, and Pallene Are Dark; Helene and Calypso Are Bright
Authors: Hedman M. M. , Helfenstein P. , Chancia R. O. , Thomas P. , Roussos E. , Paranicas C. , Verbiscer A. J.
Published: February 2020

We examine the surface brightnesses of Saturn’s smaller satellites using a photometric model that explicitly accounts for their elongated shapes and thus facilitates comparisons among different moons. Analyses of Cassini imaging data with this model reveal that the moons Aegaeon, Methone, and Pallene are darker than one would expect given trends previously observed among the nearby mid-sized satellites. On the other hand, the trojan moons Calypso and Helene have substantially brighter surfaces than their co-orbital companions Tethys and Dione. These observations are inconsistent with the moons’ surface brightnesses being entirely controlled by the local flux of E-ring particles, and therefore strongly imply that other phenomena are affecting their surface properties. The darkness of Aegaeon, Methone, and Pallene is correlated with the fluxes of high-energy protons, implying that high-energy radiation is responsible for darkening these small moons. Meanwhile, Prometheus and Pandora appear to be brightened by their interactions with the nearby dusty F ring, implying that enhanced dust fluxes are most likely responsible for Calypso’s and Helene’s excess brightness. However, there are no obvious structures in the E ring that would preferentially brighten these two moons, so there must either be something subtle in the E-ring particles’ orbital properties that leads to asymmetries in the relevant fluxes, or something happened recently to temporarily increase these moons’ brightnesses.
Slip-back Mapping as a Tracker of Topological Changes in Evolving Magnetic Configurations
Authors: Lionello R. , Titov V. S. , Mikić Z. , Linker J. A.
Published: February 2020

The topology of the coronal magnetic field has a strong impact on the properties of the solar corona and presumably on the origin of the slow solar wind. To advance our understanding of this impact, we revisit the concept of so-called slip-back mapping and adapt it to determine open, closed, and disconnected flux systems that are formed in the solar corona by magnetic reconnection during a given time interval. In particular, the method we developed allows us to describe magnetic flux transfer between open and closed flux regions via so-called interchange reconnection with an unprecedented level of detail. We illustrate the application of this method to the analysis of the global MHD evolution of the solar corona driven by idealized differential rotation of the photospheric plasma.
Stellar Metallicities from SkyMapper Photometry I: A Study of the Tucana II Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy
Authors: Chiti Anirudh , Frebel Anna , Jerjen Helmut , Kim Dongwon , Norris John E.
Published: February 2020

We present a study of the ultra-faint Milky Way dwarf satellite galaxy Tucana II using deep photometry from the 1.3 m SkyMapper telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia. The SkyMapper filter set contains a metallicity-sensitive intermediate-band v filter covering the prominent Ca ii K feature at 3933.7 Å. When combined with photometry from the SkyMapper u, g, and i filters, we demonstrate that v-band photometry can be used to obtain stellar metallicities with a precision of ∼0.20 dex when [Fe/H] > −2.5, and ∼0.34 dex when [Fe/H] < −2.5. Since the u and v filters bracket the Balmer Jump at 3646 Å, we also find that the filter set can be used to derive surface gravities. We thus derive photometric metallicities and surface gravities for all stars down to a magnitude of g ∼ 20 within ∼75′ of Tucana II. Photometric metallicity and surface gravity cuts remove nearly all foreground contamination. By incorporating Gaia proper motions, we derive quantitative membership probabilities that recover all known members of the red giant branch of Tucana II. Additionally, we identify multiple likely new members in the center of the system, as well as candidate members several half-light radii from the center of the system. Finally, we present a metallicity distribution function derived from the photometric metallicities of likely Tucana II members. This result demonstrates the utility of wide-field imaging with the SkyMapper filter set in studying ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, and in general, low surface brightness populations of metal-poor stars. Upcoming work will clarify the membership status of several distant stars identified as candidate members of Tucana II.
Inviting Teaching Behaviors of Clinical Faculty and Nursing Students' Anxiety
Authors: Cook Linda J.
Published: February 2020

This study explored baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions of inviting teaching behaviors of clinical nursing faculty and students' state anxiety while interacting with faculty during clinical experiences. A total of 229 junior and senior generic baccalaureate nursing students comprised the sample. Participants completed three questionnaires: a demographic data questionnaire, the Clinical Teaching Survey, and a Self-Evaluation Questionnaire, designed to measure state anxiety.

Results indicated there were moderate negative correlations between students' perceptions of the personally and professionally inviting teaching behaviors of clinical faculty and students' self-reports of state anxiety. A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that perceptions of personally inviting teaching behaviors explained 41% of the variance in students' state anxiety. Junior students rated faculty higher on personally and professionally inviting teaching behaviors than did senior students. However, both groups of students scored similarly on self-reports of state anxiety while interacting with clinical faculty. Findings indicate that clinical faculty should be intentionally aware of how their teaching behaviors are perceived by students and influence student anxiety during clinical experiences.
Students' Perceptions of Effective and Ineffective Clinical Instructors
Authors: Tang Fu-in , Chou Shieu-ming , Chiang Hsien-hsien
Published: February 2020

Clinical nursing faculty possess four categories of important qualities: professional competence, interpersonal relationship, personality characteristics, and teaching ability. The main purpose of this study was to understand of these four categories of qualities, which, taken together, was the main contributor to effectiveness differences among clinical nursing faculty. A total of 214 students from two nursing schools completed the questionnaire, using a 5-point Likert-type scale. The results showed that effective teachers possessed significantly high scores (> 4) in all of these four qualities. While the scores of ineffective teacher were lower (< 3) in all categories, except professional competence. Larger differences in scores between effective and ineffective teachers were found in the interpersonal relationship category, followed by the category of personality characteristics. Smaller differences in scores between effective and ineffective teachers were in the professional competence category, followed by the teaching ability category. From these results, we suggest that teachers' attitudes toward students, rather than their professional abilities, are the crucial difference between effective and ineffective teachers. This research also indicates that students from different nursing schools have similar opinions regarding this concern. Based on these findings, we highly recommend that teachers strive to improve their attitudes toward students as the best way to achieve the goals of clinical teaching.
Building Skills in Pediatric Nursing: Using a Child Care Center as a Learning Laboratory
Authors: Goetz Mary Ann , Nissen Hannah
Published: February 2020

The collaborative efforts of faculty in nursing and early childhood education resulted in opportunities for nursing students to enhance their skills in the observation and assessment of preschool-age children, as well as to plan for and interact with young children in the context of health-related learning activities. A community child care center served as the field laboratory for these learning experiences. Through these activities, nursing students were able to gain valuable insights into the development and learning of young children and to clearly relate textbook material to actual child behavior. Opportunities to observe differences within a group of children of similar ages strengthened students' abilities to recognize the nature of individual differences and the implications of various developmental characteristics for nursing practice. Finally, students gained valuable experience using their observations to plan for the children's learning through play and interactions that matched their unique developmental needs.

Published: February 2020

Increased numbers of aging Americans requires that today's health care professionals be grounded in education that focuses on patient-centered care of older adults. The growing demand for competent geriatric nurses in West Texas, led the School of Nursing (SON) at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) to conduct an in-depth analysis of its baccalaureate curriculum to determine how, when, and where care of older adults was being addressed. A task force appointed by the SON subsequently chose, as a blueprint for curricular redesign,

Nursing Distance Education at the Dawn of Digital Broadcasting: A Case Study in Collaboration
Authors: Whitmore Brent A.
Published: February 2020

For separate reasons, schools of nursing and public television stations are finding it a matter of mutual interest to work together in the production of distance education content for college nursing students in their communities. The advent of digital television (DTV) broadcasting has given these distance education partnerships new capabilities for reaching more potential students. In this article, I review one innovative collaboration between several nursing education programs and a public broadcasting service member station in South Texas. In this pilot project, nursing faculty were trained in television production techniques and became producers of DTV instructional video material. This case study demonstrates a number of ways in which nursing distance education programs can benefit by designing and delivering course material via digital broadcasting. It also highlights several difficulties that should be considered by distance educators prior to embarking on DTV curriculum development projects.
Nurse Scholars Program

Published: February 2020

The Nurse Scholars Program was developed for two reasons: to attract highly qualified students to nursing, and to increase the retention of graduates as they enter employment in local agencies following graduation. Scholars receive $10,000 for each of their junior and senior years and are asked to work for 1 year at the agency for each $10,000 received. Additional monies are set aside to assist graduate and doctoral students through stipends. Scholars are paired with Mentors, nurses selected for their expertise and experience and brought into the “family” of the hospital through special events. Mentors are included in educational activities and related programs. To date, $840,000 has been committed to the program, and data regarding the success of the program are continually being assessed.
Predictors of Novice Nurses' Use of Intuition to Guide Patient Care Decisions
Authors: Ruth-Sahd Lisa A. , Hendy Helen M.
Published: February 2020

Nurses routinely report using intuition to guide decisions about patient care, although they use it covertly because of difficulty explaining the sources of their intuitions to colleagues. To help nurse educators guide students toward open discussion and appropriate use of intuition, this study compared personal, interpersonal, and professional experiences suggested by past research for their association with the use of intuition by nurses. A questionnaire completed by 323 novice nurses measured use of intuition with an 18-item subscale identified by Miller from the Miller Intuitiveness Instrument. Measures of personal experience included age, gender, hospitalizations, self-esteem, and religiosity. Interpersonal experience included parenthood and social support from family and friends. Professional experience included grade point average and months of on-the-job experience. Multiple regression revealed that novice nurses use intuition more to guide patient care if they are older, have had more hospitalizations, and experience more social support.
Professional Resilience, Practice Longevity, and Parse's Theory for Baccalaureate Education
Authors: Hodges Helen F. , Keeley Ann C. , Grier Elaine C.
Published: February 2020

New nurses seem unable to find a means of flourishing professionally in acute care practice and, consequently, exit far earlier than expected. Worldviews of baccalaureate students have changed from previous generations; yet, the approaches to nursing education remain essentially the same. Just as clinical settings benefit from nursing theory as the basis for nursing practice and scientific inquiry, the science of nursing education would benefit from nursing theory as a basis for guiding educational practice. Parse's human science theory, the Human Becoming School of Thought, is a fitting theoretical framework for a model of teaching-learning for undergraduate baccalaureate nursing education. In addition, as a theory of dynamic relational synchrony, Parse's work provides an appropriate framework with which to promote professional resilience and career longevity by purposefully engaging students within student-faculty dyads to explore personal meanings and philosophies of caring, and to create strong professional identities.

This work examines the economic advantages of probiotic use in the diet of Nile tilapia broodstock during the reproductive period. For this purpose, Bacillus subtilis was applied as a feed additive. The experimental design was completely randomized with three treatment groups: the T0 control (without probiotic), the T1 continuous probiotic intake, and the T2 alternate probiotic intake at a dose of 0.50 g kg-1 of feed (1010 CFU g-1) with four replicates. For the reproduction assay, 118 females and 48 males of Nile tilapia (proportion 4 males:9 females. hapa-1) (weight 527.65 g ± 185.98 g and length 30.16 cm ± 3.57 cm) were distributed into 12 hapas (3.5 × 2.0 × 1.5 m). Reproductive variables (spawning female percentage, egg production, and fry production) were used to calculate the economic feasibility indexes (total cost of nutrition [TcN], gross revenue [GR], and total operational profit [ToP]). The results show increasing values for spawning female number, collected eggs, and surviving fry in the probiotic groups. We recommend continuous intake of probiotic (feed with addition of probiotic) at a dose of 0.5 g kg-1 of feed (1010 CFU g-1) during the breeding season of Nile tilapia, due to the suitable reproductive indexes and profitability.

Annealing Effect on the Composition and Electrophysical Properties of N-Type Silicon Surface
Authors: Bzhikhatlov Kantemir , Luev Valeriy
Published: February 2020

During low-temperature annealing, the segregation of the alloying element leads to a strong enrichment of the surface layer, causing a rearrangement of the surface electron structure. This change in the electron structure is manifested in the characteristic energy loss spectra. Annealing of single crystals at 400–500 K leads to an increase in the density of surface electron states. As shown by the calculations of the surface potential using experimental data on the temperature dependence of the surface concentration, dopant segregation causes a linear increase in the surface potential.

On units in orders in 2-by-2 matrices over quaternion algebras with rational center
Authors: Kiefer Ann
Published: February 2020

We generalize an algorithm established in earlier work [21] to compute finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index of an arithmetic group acting properly discontinuously on hyperbolic space of dimension 2 and 3, to hyperbolic space of higher dimensions using Clifford algebras. We hence get an algorithm which gives a finite set of generators of finite index subgroups of a discrete subgroup of Vahlen’s group, i.e. a group of 2-by-2 matrices with entries in the Clifford algebra satisfying certain conditions. The motivation comes from units in integral group rings and this new algorithm allows to handle unit groups of orders in 2-by-2 matrices over rational quaternion algebras. The rings investigated are part of the so-called exceptional components of a rational group algebra.

Published: February 2020

We prove that the geodesic flow on a compact locally

\mathrm{CAT}(–1)

space has the weak specification property, and give various applications. We show that every Hölder potential on the space of geodesics has a unique equilibrium state. We establish the equidistribution of weighted periodic orbits and the large deviations principle for all such measures. The thermodynamic results are proved for the class of expansive flows with weak specification.
Learning Cities in Progress
Authors: Németh Balázs
Published: February 2020

This paper analyses the influence of the rise and development of learning cities and regions in adult education research work. Comparative adult education research has got great potential to investigate the concrete mechanism of learning city-region constructions and to analyse the changing nature and structures of learning city-region models. Therefore, the paper tries to underline the impact of some relevant theoretical focuses and related models perspectives and limitations to comparative adult education research work since it is important to examine how learning city-region collaborations at local-regional levels may enhance both participation and performance in the learning of adults, but also of other age groups, and affect the intergenerational dimensions of learning as well as community development. At the same time, this contribution signals the need for interdisciplinary approaches and positions in comparative research work on local and regional citizen participation in learning programmes.

Se revisaron teorías sobre la construcción social de los roles de género, investigaciones sobre prácticas periodísticas que refuerzan estereotipos y cómo repercuten en la opinión pública y la formación de periodistas.
La literatura de masas como artefacto cultural en la era postfeminista
Authors: Ramos Cambero María del Mar
Published: February 2020

El artículo analiza la visión de la mujer en novelas de gran éxito en el panorama nacional e internacional de los últimos años. Partiendo del método analítico del circuito de la cultura (Paul du Gay et al., 1997), exploramos los distintos agentes del proceso editorial, así como las tendencias literarias con más filón en la actualidad; deteniéndonos en el modelo de identidad femenina que reflejan las protagonistas de obras como Millennium (Stieg Larsson), Cincuenta sombras de Grey (E. L. James) o Crepúsculo (Stephenie Meyer). Nuestro principal objetivo es revisar las principales alternativas que se están aportando al respecto. Los resultados evidencian ciertos avances, sobre todo en la novela de fantasía; sin embargo, la creación de heroínas continúa estando supeditada  al amor romántico.
Bancadas virtuais e storyboards com ilustrações microscópicas representativas como recursos no estudo da Mecânica Quântica

Published: February 2020

Este artigo busca analisar como o uso combinado de bancadas virtuais e storyboards podem promover a compreensão conceitual do licenciando em física acerca do fenômeno da dualidade onda-partícula de entidades quânticas nos arranjos experimentais da dupla fenda e do IMZ. Verificamos, assim, a possibilidade do seu estabelecimento em uma corrente interpretativa da MQ. Portanto, a condução desta investigação converge para a identificação das interpretações privadas dos estudantes, após ações didáticas mediadas por mecanismos externos de processamento de informações. Para tanto, adotamos a harmonização de dois referenciais teóricos, sendo eles, a Teoria da Mediação Cognitiva (TMC), em razão de sua abordagem relacionada à mediação hipercultural, e a Modelização Científica de Mario Bunge, em virtude de sua percepção acerca da construção de conhecimento de forma racional em meio a interpretação da realidade. Os resultados foram obtidos após as análises realizadas sob os pré-testes, pós-testes e análise dos gestos descritivos obtidos das imagens de vídeo gravadas durante as entrevistas do pós-teste. Constatamos que as instruções didáticas forneceram possibilidades aos licenciandos para analisar ontologicamente e epistemologicamente, de diferentes formas, um mesmo resultado empírico previsto pelo formalismo da MQ. Também identificamos a predominância de uma postura dualista realista na interpretação dos alunos.

El propósito de esta ponencia es identificar algunos “indicadores del imaginario neoliberal” (BALL, 2011) en las políticas educativas implementadas en la gestión de la Alianza Cambiemos, a partir de diciembre de 2015, analizando los avances en la privatización de la educación mediante el rediseño de las relaciones entre sector público/privado a través de una variedad de asociaciones públicas y privadas (BALL; YOUDELL, 2007; RIZVI; LINGARD, 2013). En ese marco el discurso de la meritocracia construye un sentido común que sirven como justificación para la introducción de herramientas de la Nueva Gestión Pública (NGP) en las políticas del  gobierno de Cambiemos. Posteriormente, se caracteriza el papel de una variedad de nuevos (y otros no tan nuevos) “participantes híbridos” que intervienen crecientemente en el diseño y ejecución de las políticas educativas. Sobre resultados de investigaciones en curso se toman como referencia casos o situaciones para ilustrar los análisis y luego trazar un balance provisorio.
Direito à educação: da conquista ao reconhecimento
Authors: Stecanela Nilda , Lemons Caroline Caldas
Published: February 2020

O texto apresenta uma tessitura conceitual-analítica do direito à educação e tem na Ciência Jurídica e na Teoria do Reconhecimento suas principais fundamentações teóricas. As reflexões sobre o direito à educação articulam aspectos que envolvem tanto a natureza do direito, sua validez e expressão legal quanto fatores atuantes para que esse seja reconhecido, de modo específico, no âmbito da educação escolar. À análise macro da temática acresce-se uma apresentação panorâmica do atual período histórico que demarca os trinta anos da conquista do direito à educação no Brasil como bem comum. De caráter bibliográfico, o estudo procurou aprofundar a discussão em torno do pressuposto que é preciso refletir acerca da natureza, validez e expressão legal do direito para que o direito à educação possa ser reconhecido no âmbito da educação escolar. O argumento desenvolvido considera que, embora a conquista jurídica seja importante, quando se trata de assegurar um direito, isoladamente é incapaz de garantir seu reconhecimento.
A receptividade e a difusão do pensamento de John Dewey no Brasil entre 1930 e 1960
Authors: Mendonça Samuel , Nobre José Aguiar
Published: February 2020

Ao comemorar, em 2019, 160 anos de nascimento do filósofo John Dewey, há interesse em saber como a sua filosofia tem sido explorada nas reflexões escolares no Brasil. Frente a isso, indaga-se: qual a receptividade do pensamento de John Dewey no Brasil e a difusão atual de suas ideias? A tarefa é árdua, no entanto, necessária, dadas as leituras e interpretações feitas no Brasil por meio do pensamento de John Dewey. O objetivo central do ensaio consiste em entender como e em que medida houve difusão do pensamento filosófico de John Dewey no Brasil bem como os desafios atuais para que a difusão de suas ideias continue. Não se ousa esquadrinhar todos os escritos sobre Dewey no Brasil, pois isso resultaria em uma tarefa impraticável. A metodologia está circunscrita a uma pesquisa bibliográfica que busca evidenciar a receptividade do pensamento de Dewey e atual difusão de suas ideias no período de 1930 a 1960. A hipótese é de que, considerando a grande contribuição da filosofia deweyana na educação brasileira, ainda há muito o que ser explorado e pesquisado, não obstante a caudalosa literatura já produzida sobre ele no Brasil. Isso é apontado com um desafio para a formação humana integral e crítica. Os resultados demonstram que a democracia e a liberdade de expressão, fundamentadas na filosofia revolucionária de John Dewey, ganham peso ao permitirem um maior desenvolvimento dos indivíduos. Argumenta-se que, no Brasil, quanto mais a sua filosofia estiver presente nas atividades escolares, mais fornecerá instrumentos para a manutenção emocional e intelectual dos educandos e, consequentemente, para um maior aporte à educação no país.
O debate sobre o ”Guardião da Constituição”: a problemática da legitimidade democrática da decisão final quanto à constitucionalidade das normas
Authors: Pelegrino da Silva Matheus
Published: February 2020

O artigo discute qual concepção de guarda da constituição, a de Kelsen ou a de Schmitt, corresponde em maior grau ao modo como constituições são protegidas, bem como as consequências relacionadas à forma de proteção oferecida com respeito à questão da legitimidade democrática das decisões sobre a constitucionalidade das normas. As interpretações de Kelsen e de Schmitt das noções “povo” e “constituição” são apresentadas juntamente com os argumentos desenvolvidor por eles para justificar suas posições a respeito de quem deve ser o guardião da constituição. Considerando como as decisões sobre a constitucionalidade das normas são justificadas, argumenta-se que apesar de o modelo de corte constitucional de Kelsen ser usualmente adotado, ainda assim se pode identificar um elemento da concepção de Schmitt sobre a guarda da constituição.

Katherine lloraba a escondidas cerca de los baños del colegio. Sollozaba sin temor a que la mirasen, con entera libertad, como los aborígenes destilaban océanos en los inicios del mundo. Aparentemente nadie la observaba, ni siquiera los profesores que solían vigilar esos alrededores. Todos, estudiantes y maestros, reunidos en la plaza principal de la escuela, preferían festejar el campeonato de futbol recién conseguido por su colegio, antes que pensar en Katherine, quien, según ellos, casi les arruina la celebración por culpa de sus múltiples errores. Pese a tratarse de la jugadora emblema del equipo, anotadora de goles decisivos en el intercolegial, Katherine habíamarcado en propia puerta durante esa final celebrada en nuestra escuela. Su desempeño fue pésimo durante el partido, vaya a saber uno por qué, hasta el punto que el entrenador, temiendo que los estudiantes nos tomáramosla cancha, la sustituyó durante al finalizar la primera mitad.

Parque Nacional Serra da Canastra (Minas Gerais - Brasil): proposta de painel interpretativo
Authors: Bento Lilian Carla Moreira , Nazar Thallita Isabela Silva Martins
Published: February 2020

O Parque Nacional Serra da Canastra é uma unidade de conservação integral localizada no sudeste do Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Apesar desse tipo de unidade prever a visitação, não existe na área de estudo nenhum plano de interpretação ambiental que garanta aos visitantes o entendimento dos locais. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi propor um painel interpretativo para a Cachoeira Casca D’Anta, visto ser um dos atrativos mais visitados e, portanto, ter maior potencial de utilização. O painel proposto foi elaborado a partir de um plano interpretativo que buscou responder alguns questionamentos norteadores, a saber: i- o que interpretar? (temática a ser abordada), ii- por que interpretar?, iii- público-alvo, iv- como? (justificativa para o tipo de meio interpretativo escolhido) e v- onde (localização do meio selecionado). O painel apresentado visa preencher uma lacuna do ponto de vista do entendimento, no que diz respeito a origem da cachoeira de Casca D’anta. Relevante destacar que se trata apenas de uma proposta e que sua implantação dependerá de recursos da gerência do parque.
Geoquímica e geocronologia em campos de murunduns no Chapadão do Diamante –Serra da Canastra-MG

Published: February 2020

A distribuição dos materiais superficiais nas vertentes em ambiente de Cerrado dispõe de particularidades intrínsecas, que estão relacionadas com o posicionamento topográfico, formato das vertentes, fitofisionomia e com escoamento superficial e subsuperficial da água. Estes aspectos estão associados com a sazonalidade climática, típica deste ambiente. A área de estudo está localizada no Chapadão Diamante do Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra-MG, onde estão presentes campos de murunduns. A metodologia consistiu em análises de Textura, Luminescência Oticamente Estimulada (LOE) e Difratometria por Raio-X da fração argila. A avaliação prognóstica correlacionou os resultados de forma subjetiva, por se tratar de um estudo embasado em probabilidades, considerando o conhecimento disponível sobre cada atributo na literatura especializada. A análise da área oferece informações importantes, dotada de grande valor geográfico, seja no âmbito da geomorfologia, quanto aos estudos do meio físico integrados aos setores de planejamento e gestão ambiental.
Advances in anti-Ramsey theory for random graphs
Authors: Mota Guilherme Oliveira
Published: February 2020

Dados grafos G e H, denotamos a seguinte propriedade por G rb → p H: para toda coloração própria das arestas de G (com uma quantidade arbitrária de cores) existe uma cópia multicolorida de H em G, i.e., uma cópia de H sem duas arestas da mesma cor. Sabe-se que, para todo grafo H, a função limiar pHrb = pHrb(n) para essa propriedade no grafo aleatório binomial G(n, p) é assintoticamente no máximo n-1/m(2)(H), onde m(2)(H) denota a assim chamada 2-densidade máxima de H. Neste trabalho discutimos esse e alguns resultados recentes no estudo de propriedades anti-Ramsey para grafos aleatórios, e mostramos que se H = C4 ou H = K4 então pHrb < n-1/m(2)(H), que está em contraste com os fatos conhecidos de que pckrb = n-1/m2(Ck) para k ≥ 7, e pklrb = n-1/m(2)(Kl) para k ≥ 19.
