Climate in the classroom
Authors: Bentley Liz
Published: June 2022

Over recent years there has been a growing demand for climate education in schools and colleges. There is an aspiration that all children leave school climate literate so they can engage with the climate conversation and make informed decisions about their own opportunities and responsibilities  

In the UK there has been significant progress towards improving climate education in the last 12 months. These include a national Climate Education Action Plan and the UK Government’s climate change and sustainability strategy for education published in April 2022.

These include initiatives like the Climate Ambassadors Scheme, launched in collaboration with STEM Learning, that will allow schools and colleges access to experts in climate change.

This presentation provides an update in recent activities in the UK and encourages dialogue to share best practice from initiatives being developed elsewhere in Europe.  
Testing the Nonlocal Three-dimensional Transilient Turbulence (NLT3D) scheme in the ICON model
Authors: Küll Volker , Bott Andreas
Published: June 2022

In numerical weather prediction (NWP) models atmospheric processes are usually split into grid scale and subgrid scale ones with the latter to be parameterized. Traditionally, all subgrid scale dynamics is classified as turbulence which is mainly active in mixing the planetary boundary layer and the coupling to the surface. Modeled turbulence is essential for the proper representation of the fluxes of tracers, energy and momentum in the lower atmosphere and, therefore, for the quality of weather forecasts.

However, in modern numerical weather prediction models grid sizes keep on decreasing as affordable with increasing computational power. Thus, originally subgrid scale physical processes such as turbulence have become partially resolved on the model grid. After the classical K approaches, this first lead to the introduction of vertically non-local turbulence parameterization schemes to explicitly represent the vertical extent of the largest eddies in the PBL.

Meanwhile also horizontal grid sizes in the order of 1 km have become small enough to also resolve at least the larger eddies extending over the whole PBL on the model grid. This is accounted for in the NLT3D scheme. It employs a transilient matrix formulation which has proven to be a flexible way to extent the non-local representation of
turbulent fluxes also to the horizontal direction. NLT3D has already been tested in the framework of the WRF model in several short term simulations over the North American prairie and Appalachian mountain range. It has now been implemented into the ICON model of Deutscher Wetterdienst to be analyzed in longer term simulations over Europe. Additionally, the impact of different grid size of the hosting model is analyzed over more inhomogeneous terrain.

We will present results from ICON simulations including NLT3D and discuss comparisons with the results from the classical ICON model setup including its operational turbulence scheme. For validation also comparisons with observational data from field campaigns and with data of the operational station network of DWD will be shown.
Precipitation-Temperature Scaling of 3h Convective Precipitation over Europe 
Authors: Martinkova Marta , Kysely Jan
Published: June 2022

The Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) equation describes the change in saturated water vapor pressure with temperature (7% per degree C within the normal temperature range). The possible effects of deviations from CC scaling, especially the so-called "super CC" scaling (increase above 7%), on the occurrence and intensity of precipitation extremes are connected to many different factors. The most important of them are the availability of moisture and more intense convection. The resulting CC scaling is influenced also by the type of precipitation and the super CC scaling may be the result/artifact coming from combination of precipitation of different types. Here, we present a study of the variability in the rates of increase in precipitation intensity with dew point temperature using the Multi Source Weighted Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP) 3h data with the resolution of 0.1 deg. for 2006–2016 over Central Europe. The scaling is assessed for daily dew point temperature (taken from ERA5-Land dataset) and the 95th percentile of 3h precipitation using the quantile regression method. As the resulting scaling may be influenced by the type of precipitation (convective versus non-convective), we apply the method of threshold precipitation rate (THR) to categorize the precipitation in two subsets. The average scaling slopes are 8.7 %/°C for all precipitation events, 6.8 %/°C for precipitation events above THR and 3.0 %/°C for events bellow THR. The mixing of events bellow/above THR amplifies the scaling. To evaluate the scaling of convective precipitation with dew point temperature independently, we use the data of lightning occurrence from the EUCLID dataset (3h, resolution 0.1 deg.), as the lightning occurrence is assumed to be a robust proxy for convective precipitation. The average scaling slopes are 13.4 %/°C for precipitation events with lightning and 6.3 %/°C for precipitation events without lightning. The scaling of the events with lightning corresponds with the double CC scaling for convective events reported by previous studies.
Combination of satellite and ground measurements of hourly surface solar radiation data in Germany
Authors: Brinckmann Sven , Klameth Anna , Trentmann Jörg
Published: June 2022

As part of a restructuring of the solar radiation measurement network, the German Meteorological Service (DWD) is pursuing the goal of expanding its high-quality surface measurements using pyranometers (to 42 stations) while discontinuing measurements with other instruments. At the same time, surface solar radiation products from satellite data are progressively improving in quality and can be used to compensate for the reduction of ground measurements and to increase the spatial coverage of solar radiation information over Germany. For this purpose, the project DUETT aims at a merging of solar radiation data from the 42 pyranometer stations and near real-time data based on measurements from METEOSAT-SEVIRI (with a spatial resolution of about 5 km). As products, hourly data of the global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and the sunshine duration (SDU) will be provided on a 2 x 2 km grid for Germany with a time delay of 15 minutes after each full hour.

Merging is performed in three main steps: 1. Time aggregation to derive hourly data from instantaneous 15-minute measurements of the satellite; 2. Determination of deviations between hourly satellite and ground measurements; 3. Interpolation of the deviations to target grid of 2 km resolution using Ordinary Kriging. These three basic steps involve an 'optical flow' technique to generate intermediate images of the satellite data, a correction algorithm for the clear-sky satellite data to consider the impact of varying water vapour columns on surface radiation and a regression approach to reduce systematic deviations between satellite and station data. We present the latest version of the merging procedure for both radiation parameters GHI and SDU. The steps of the algorithms are illustrated, strategies for correcting systematic errors in the satellite data are shown and open issues are discussed. Furthermore, validation results based on independent validation data and based on cross validation will be presented.

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Quantification of root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) is crucial for agricultural applications and the soil sciences. RZSM impacts processes such as vegetation transpiration and water percolation. Surface soil moisture (SSM) can be assessed through active and passive microwave remote-sensing methods, but no current sensor enables direct RZSM retrieval. Spatial maps of RZSM can be retrieved via proxy observations (vegetation stress, water storage change and surface soil moisture) or via land surface model predictions. In this study, we investigated the combination of surface soil moisture information with process-related inferred features involving artificial neural networks (ANNs). We considered the infiltration process through the soil water index (SWI) computed with a recursive exponential filter and the evaporation process through the evaporation efficiency computed based on a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) remote-sensing dataset and a simplified analytical model, while vegetation growth was not modeled and was only inferred through normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) time series. Several ANN models with different sets of features were developed. Training was conducted considering in situ stations distributed in several areas worldwide characterized by different soil and climate patterns of the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN), and testing was applied to stations of the same data-hosting facility. The results indicate that the integration of process-related features into ANN models increased the overall performance over the reference model level in which only SSM features were considered. In arid and semiarid areas, for instance, performance enhancement was observed when the evaporation efficiency was integrated into the ANN models. To assess the robustness of the approach, the trained models were applied to observation sites in Tunisia, Italy and southern India that are not part of the ISMN. The results reveal that joint use of surface soil moisture, evaporation efficiency, NDVI and recursive exponential filter represented the best alternative for more accurate predictions in the case of Tunisia, where the mean correlation of the predicted RZSM based on SSM only sharply increased from 0.443 to 0.801 when process-related features were integrated into the ANN models in addition to SSM. However, process-related features have no to little added value in temperate to tropical conditions.
Experimental analysis of the effect of dynamic induction control on a wind turbine wake
Authors: van der Hoek Daan , Frederik Joeri , Huang Ming , Scarano Fulvio , Simao Ferreira Carlos , van Wingerden Jan-Willem
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Dynamic induction control (DIC) has proven to be an effective method of increasing the power output for a wind farm in both simulation studies and wind tunnel experiments. By pitching the blades of a wind turbine periodically, the recovery of the low-velocity wake is accelerated, thereby increasing the energy available to downstream turbines. The wake itself of a turbine operating with DIC has not yet been studied experimentally.
This paper presents a wind tunnel experiment where the wake of a wind turbine under periodic excitation is investigated. Using three-dimensional particle image velocimetry, the velocity field behind the turbine was reconstructed. Analysis of the velocity fields indicated that the available power in the wake increases when using DIC. This increase was partially due to a lower average thrust force experienced by the turbine with DIC. However, a large difference was seen between measurement results and actuator disk theory, indicating enhanced recovery of the wake is contributing to the increased energy. Instantaneous measurements visualizing the development of blade tip vortices also showed how the location of vortex breakdown, which is directly related to re-energizing the wake, shifts over time with DIC. We believe this shifting location is contributing to the enhanced wake recovery of DIC, providing more energy to downstream wind turbines.

A Data-Oriented, Active Learning, Post-Calculus Introduction to Statistical Concepts, Methods, and Theory
Authors:   California Polytechnic State University, Rossman Allan , Chance Beth ,   California Polytechnic State University
Published: June 2022

Our paper describes our project to develop curricular materials for a course that introduces students at the post-calculus level to statistical concepts, methods, and theory. This course provides a more balanced introduction to the discipline of statistics than the standard sequence in probability and mathematical statistics. The materials incorporate many features of successful statistics education projects that target less mathematically prepared students. The student audiences targeted by this project are particularly important because they have been overlooked by previous curricular reform projects. Most importantly, the proposed audience includes prospective teachers of statistics, introducing them to content and pedagogy that prepare them for implementing NCTM Standards with regard to statistics and probability and for teaching the Advanced Placement course in Statistics.
Statistical Literacy: From Idiosyncratic to Critical Thinking
Authors:   University of Tasmania, Watson Jane , Callingham Rosemary ,   University of New England
Published: June 2022

This paper follows earlier research using a survey instrument devised to measure statistical literacy understanding at the school level. Based on partial credit Rasch analysis, the performance of 673 students in Grades 5 to 10 is reported both overall and for three subgroups of items reflecting strands within statistical understanding. The three strands are the basic measurement of average and chance, the related ideas of sampling and inference, and the representation of data and variation. A hierarchy of six levels of understanding is presented, with differing trends across the grades discussed and an example of individual student performance at each level given. Some of these examples illustrate student differences in understanding for the different strands. Implications for the school curriculum are considered with respect to potential development across the years of schooling and realistic expectations for students at various grade levels. Issues for further consideration and research are raised in the final section.
Coherent and Purposeful Development in Statistics across the Educational Spectrum
Authors:   Queensland University of Technology, MacGillivray Helen
Published: June 2022

The development of statistical thinking and data sense needs steadily progressive and cohesive building of concepts and learning experiences. Meaningful discussion and analysis of curricular approaches to facilitate such development require a reference context. This paper uses a particularly relevant Australian context to combine a cross-sectional report on interaction with teachers in the development and implementation of school syllabi, with analysis of commonalities in cross-disciplinary tertiary student learning in introductory data analysis. These are used to demonstrate the need and potential for genuine and ongoing collaboration between statisticians, teachers and educationalists to develop strategies in constructing, supporting and implementing curriculum to achieve coherent progression in statistical literacy and thinking across educational levels. Such strategies must also include support for teachers.

We describe a new professional development program for secondary school mathematics teachers who are preparing to teach statistics. We also discuss what we have learned in our efforts to design a course that has a significant online component and that is relevant and useful from a teacher’s perspective. We describe the ways in which our online environment incorporates group work, self-study, concept exploration, and assessments. We also discuss the challenges associated with delivering the necessary content while simultaneously accommodating the practical time constraints of adult students who are, themselves, teaching full-time.
Quantitative analysis of postural control of COPD patients during activities of daily living (ATTRACTION): a study protocol
Authors: Pichon Romain , Ménard Mathieu , Hearing Diane , Brinchault Graziella , Crétual Armel
Published: June 2022

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disease and is associated with the presence of numerous comorbidities. Among these, impaired postural control has been reported to be common in this population. However, postural control has not been extensively studied in tasks of daily living in this population. Novel solutions for postural control assessment exist, like the quantitative motion analysis, which has demonstrated to be a robust and accurate tool. Objective: the main aim of this study is to characterize the postural control of COPD patients during tasks of daily living compared to that of control subjects using quantitative motion analysis. The secondary aims of this study are to examine the associations between postural control variables of interest and various clinical factors and to investigate the utility of the modified Glittre-ADL for the clinical assessment of postural control in daily task. Method: A case-control study will be conducted with a group of sixteen COPD patients and a control group of sixteen participants. Quantitative movement analysis will be used to assess postural control during a modified Glittre-ADL test (incorporating tasks of daily living) and timed-up-and-go tests (under normal and dual-task conditions). Clinical factors (e.g., dyspnea, pain, inspiratory muscle strength, falls, fear of falling, etc.) will also be assessed. Discussion: ATTRACTION will be the first study to propose the assessment of postural control in various daily living tasks in COPD patients using quantitative movement analysis and has the potential to precise the relation between postural control and several clinical factors.

Atopic disorders are a spectrum of diseases that share an underlying immune system issue. Atopic diseases such as eczema, asthma, and allergic rhinitis are frequent among children, making them a major public health concern around the world. Both genetic and environmental variables have a significant role in the development of these disorders. Despite the diversity, there appears to be a strong link between these conditions. While many diseases overlap risk factors, the nature and progression of disease differs from person to person. For children in the general population globally, the estimated prevalence of asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis is 12.0%, 7.9%, and 12.7%, respectively. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the epidemiology of asthma, rhinitis and eczema among children. Due to their high frequency and related clinical and social cost, allergic disorders such as asthma, rhinitis, and eczema have turned into a worldwide public health challenge. Despite the fact that allergic disorders can be considered as separate entities, multimorbidity which is coexistence and cooccurrence is a common event. Over the last two decades, the incidence of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema has increased globally and varies across different geographical regions hence, effective prevention and management approach is need of time. More epidemiological population-based surveys in future can contribute to generation of evidence-based strategies for the prevention and management of these diseases and will also play a pivotal role in creating awareness among parents.

Ocular trauma, which is a globe injury, is one of the most prevalent eye diseases, leading to hospitalization and severe eye deficits. The term globe rupture is used to describe a wide range of globe injuries. Globe rupture is defined as globe injury caused by the blunt object or due to an impact with inside-out mechanism. Globe injuries are expected to cause 3.5 eye injuries per 100,000 people worldwide, leading to about 203,000 new cases each year. Globe rupture is one of the most serious globe injuries resulting in lifelong blindness. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the etiology, epidemiology, assessment, and prognosis of globe rupture. Globe rupture have a 27-fold high chance of development after previous intraocular surgery, myopia, age, among women, and a sudden collapse. Sharp objects trauma is a reason of globe rupture among children while accidents or injuries at work, assault, and car accidents are common causes for adults. The length of the wound and its location, both are important prognostic factors for primary care of globe rupture. Awareness of prognostic factors allows for more accurate and targeted interventions aimed at reducing vision loss caused by open ocular trauma. Literature has quite scarce epidemiological data regarding the globe rupture in future however, more population-based studies can significantly contribute. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential for management of disease also awareness and use of protective equipment can also decrease the risk of globe rupture and injury.
THIS PAPER AIMS AT STUDYING GOVERNANCE STYLES AND LANGUAGE STYLES OF PRESIDENTS OF KAZAKHSTAN AND RUSSIA. BY SUBSTANTIATING THE CONCEPT OF GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNANCE STYLE, I FIND A WAY TO MEASURE IT USING QUANTITATIVE TEXT ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL SPEECH

Published: June 2022

This paper aims at studying governance styles and language styles of presidents of Kazakhstan and Russia. By substantiating the concept of governance and governance style, I find a way to measure it using quantitative text analysis of the political speeches. The qualitative analysis further illustrates the similarity between the discourse of the leaders from post-Soviet states like Kazakhstan and Russia and leaders of long-standing democracies US and France. The official communication of heads of states is used as textual data for analysis. Data support the hypothesis that the rhetoric of modern leaders of Kazakhstan and Russia is very similar to democratic discourses. Moreover, Barack Obama and Emmanuel Macron largely use nationalism/paternalism and maintenance of power rhetoric. The concentration of nationalism and paternalism key words in the political texts of Macron is higher than its average concentration in the speeches of Kazakhstani and Russian presidents. In addition, Obama uses more traditionalism key words than both Kazakhstani and Russian leaders.

deutetrabenazine for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease
Authors: Gupta Harshit , Perkins Wil , Stark Cain , Kikkeri Sathya , Kakazu Juyeon , Kaye Adam D. , Kaye Alan D.
Published: June 2022

This is a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the use of Deutetrabenazine in treating chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. Unfortunately, treatment has been limited for many aspects of this neurodegenerative disease. The present investigation presents the background, evidence, and indications for the use Deutetrabenazine in the setting of Huntington’s disease. Huntington’s disease is characterized by a variety of motor, psychiatric, and cognitive symptoms with chorea being one of the more notable ones. Chorea is a movement disorder present in multiple neurologic diseases that causes involuntary and irregular muscle movements theorized to be stemming from high dopamine levels. Deutetrabenazine is thought to function as an inhibitor of the VMAT2 vesicular monoamine transporter resulting in decreased monoamine release, including dopamine, in the synaptic cleft which has a therapeutic effect in management of chorea. This drug was approved by the FDA in 2017 with a specific indication for tardive dyskinesia and choreiform movement in Huntington’s disease. Currently, there is no definitive treatment for Huntington’s disease. Thus, management is primarily focused on symptom management with the use of a variety of pharmaceutical agents. Chorea is one of the many manifestations that significantly alter the quality of life of many patients. Deutetrabenazine is a promising new option for the treatment of chorea in the setting of Huntington’s disease. Although studies so far have displayed mixed results, further research, including head-to-head studies, is necessary to elucidate the true potential of this drug.
Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: Epidemiology, Risk factors, Pathophysiology, Differential diagnosis, and Treatment Options

Published: June 2022

Purpose of Review

This is a comprehensive review of the most recent literature on glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), a relatively rare form of neuropathic facial pain. It covers the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, and differential diagnosis given that glossopharyngeal neuralgia can often be confused with other facial pain syndromes. Finally, we extensively review recent findings regarding medical or conservative measures, minimally invasive, and surgical options for potentially treating and managing glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

Recent Findings

An in-depth analysis of the recent literature indicates that glossopharyngeal neuralgia is not only rare but its etiology and pathophysiology are complex and are often secondary to other disease processes. Regardless, current management options are shown to be effective in controlling pain. Conservatively, first-line management of GPN is carbamazepine, but gabapentin and eslicarbazepine acetate are suitable alternatives. In terms of current minimally invasive pain management techniques, pulsed radiofrequency ablation, nerve blocks, or percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation are effective. Finally, surgical management involves microvascular decompression and rhizotomy.

While there are currently many viable options for addressing glossopharyngeal neuralgia pain ranging from conservative to surgical management, the complex nature of GPN etiology, pathophysiology, and involved anatomical structures prompts further research for more effective ways to treat the disease.
Simulacro na filosofia de Deleuze
Authors: Orlandi Luiz Benedicto Lacerda
Published: June 2022

Uma filosofia sempre suscita dificuldades porque, no mínimo, recria conceitos e modifica a maneira de articulá-los, afetando os regimes que tecem sua convivência; as dificuldades aumentam quando se percebe que também os seres podem estar implicados nessas reordenações.
O papel dos conselhos e da representatividade política na cidade das Leis, em Platão.
Authors: Filho Gérson Pereira , Yamamoto Jorge Hideo
Published: June 2022

Sugerimos em nossos estudos que Platão, em seu último diálogo, As Leis, nos oferece, por meio dos personagens ali presentes, um projeto de cidade amplamente revolucionário frente à realidade grega de seu tempo, e aplicável, em larga escala, para se abordar as cidades e a política na contemporaneidade. Sobretudo, dentre tudo o que desperta atenção no modo de se propor a organização da pólis nas Leis, há que se destacar o papel dos “Conselhos”, como organismos políticos fundamentais para a administração da cidade, compostos pelos cidadãos, de modo radicalmente democráticos, e direcionados para a gestão de praticamente todas as instâncias da vida social. Da educação aos ofícios militares, culminando com o “Conselho Noturno” em sua função de supervisão, a cidade das Leis, se torna referência para se repensar as possibilidades da democracia e os caminhos para a koinonia econômica e social.
A longa evolução da relação rural-urbano
Authors: Favareto Arilson da Silva
Published: June 2022

Na base da emergência do que se convencionou chamar por “nova ruralidade” há um deslizamento no conteúdo social e na qualidade da articulação das suas três dimensões definidoras fundamentais: as relações rural–urbano, a proximidade com a natureza e os laços interpessoais. Os significados maiores dessa mudança são, de um lado, a erosão do paradigma agrário que sustentou as visões predominantes sobre o rural ao longo de todo o último século e, de outro, a intensificação de um longo e heterogêneo processo de racionalização da vida rural. Um processo através do qual o rural, em vez de desaparecer, se integra por completo à dinâmica mais ampla dos processos de desenvolvimento, por meio tanto da unificação dos diferentes mercados (de trabalho, de produtos e serviços, e de bens simbólicos) como também por meio da criação de instituições que regulam as formas de uso social desses espaços, agora amalgamando interesses que têm por portadores sociais segmentos originários também de outras esferas. Este artigo discute algumas dessas idéias, que conformam a tese de doutorado do autor, a partir de uma análise da longa evolução das relações rural–urbano, contribuindo assim para se pensar os processos de desenvolvimento rural para além de um viés eminentemente normativo.
Ser socióloga do "mundo rural" na UNICAMP
Authors: Wanderley Maria de Nazareth Baudel
Published: June 2022

Neste primeiro número da revista do Ceres, gostaria de refletir sobre minha própria experiência, como professora e pesquisadora do IFCH da Unicamp, onde, durante 20 anos, participei ativamente do mestrado de sociologia e do doutorado de ciências sociais. Considero que a constituição da área temática do doutorado, então denominada Agricultura e Questão Agrária, envolvendo antropólogos e sociólogos, resultou na consolidação, nessa universidade, de um campo de reflexão, próprio das ciências sociais, sobre o mundo rural. Esse campo se caracterizou por privilegiar a compreensão dos processos de formação das diversas categorias de sujeitos sociais e suas expressões econômicas, sociais, políticas e culturais, tendo como pressuposto principal a heterogeneidade do mundo rural.
Uma usina-símbolo
Authors: Menezes Thereza
Published: June 2022

Durante a década de 1990, a Mata Sul pernambucana foi cenário de grandes transformações sociais expressas nas falências de usinas, demissões em massa de trabalhadores e ocupações de terra para fins de reforma agrária. Este artigo analisa, a partir de um estudo de caso, iniciativas de superação da crise através da modernização da gestão de usinas e investimento em práticas de proteção ambiental, bem como seus efeitos no quadro de relações sociais locais.
"Rural" como categoria de pensamento
Authors: Carneiro Maria José
Published: June 2022

As mudanças em curso nas dinâmicas sociais, econômicas e culturais do meio rural exigem uma reflexão sobre as categorias em uso por considerá-las insuficientes contemplar a diversidade e a complexidade atuais. Após realizar uma revisão das principais linhas desse debate, com base em Marc Mormont e Jean Rémy, sobre “categoria operatória”, e Bourdieu, sobre “categoria social realizada”, argumento que “rural” é uma categoria de pensamento que classifica e organiza o mundo social orientando suas ações. Sugere-se o uso do termo “localidade” para universos empiricamente referenciados, já que essa noção não define a natureza rural ou urbana de um grupo ou de suas práticas.
Globalización, pobreza y agricultura familiar
Authors: Chonchol Jacques
Published: June 2022

En los dos últimos decenios el factor principal que ha moldeado la sociedad y la economía rural de América Latina ha sido el cambio en el modelo de desarrollo de uno basado en la substitución de importaciones y la industrialización interna a otro basado en la apertura externa, la promoción de exportaciones y la liberalización. La crisis de la deuda de los años 1980 y la adopción por la mayor parte de los países de la región de los programas de ajuste estructural estimularon las exportaciones agrícolas con la esperanza que esto mejorara la situación de intercambio. Al mismo tiempo la apertura de las economías condujo a un incremento de las importaciones alimenticias provenientes de los países más competitivos en el abastecimiento de estos productos. Consecuencia de ello es que el sector de exportaciones agrícolas primarias ha crecido con mayor rapidez que la producción para el mercado interno.
Educação, gênero e os projetos de vida dos jovens rurais de Baixadas de Salinas (RJ)
Authors: Pereira Jorge Luiz de Goes
Published: June 2022

O artigo discute a relação entre o projeto educacional da EscolaFamília (Ibelga) e os projetos de vida de moças e rapazes de Baixada de Salinas (RJ). Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado através de entrevistas com 46 jovens (20 moças e 26 rapazes), na faixa etária entre 14 e 20 anos. A partir dos relatos dos jovens, posso afirmar que os jovens de Baixada de Salinas desejam permanecer nas atividades agrícolas, mas isso não quer dizer que todos os jovens rurais desejam a mesma coisa. A educação técnica agrícola pode contribuir também para que os jovens do campo vislumbrem oportunidades de trabalho na cidade.
