Cuerpos femeninos: Poder y Cultura en el Pacífico colombiano
Authors: Bello-Urrego Alejandra del Rocio
Published: August 2022

Resumen: Presento un análisis de la relación entre los sentidos asignados a los cuerpos femeninos de las mujeres negras y rurales de Ladrilleros (Buenaventura, Pacífico colombiano) con los contextos en que estos han resultado desafiantes para el poder. La metodología utilizada fue la historia de vida y la biographic narrative interpretive method. Las narrativas de vida se desarrollan en el período de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y las primeras dos décadas del XXI. Se encontró que la historia reciente del territorio de Ladrilleros ha estado marcada por la llegada de diferentes grupos ajenos a las comunidades negras que al pugnar por un lugar han impulsado rupturas en sus dinámicas culturales. Este proceso ha implicado significar los cuerpos femeninos de maneras acordes a los intereses de los grupos dominantes. Las mujeres negras han pugnado esto, implementando estrategias en las que el cuidado emerge como la clave de la resignificación de sí.
A trajetória e resistência do Escreva Lola Escreva
Authors: Aronovich Lola
Published: August 2022

Resumo: Em janeiro de 2008, quando comecei o meu blog, “Escreva Lola Escreva”, não esperava que ele fosse um blog necessariamente feminista, mas pessoal. Afinal, tem até o meu nome no título. Porém, como eu me assumo feminista desde os oito anos de idade, praticamente tudo que escrevo carrega um viés feminista, inclusivo, em defesa dos direitos humanos. 14 anos depois, meu blog continua ativo, e é sempre gratificante ouvir uma leitora ou leitor dizer que passou a combater e superar seus próprios preconceitos por meio da leitura do meu blog. No entanto, nem tudo são flores. Há mais de 11 anos sou ameaçada e atacada por grupos organizados de misóginos e neonazistas, que apelidei de mascus (abreviação de masculinistas). Minha resistência e a dificuldade para fazer boletins de ocorrência inspiraram a criação da Lei Lola, que atribui à Polícia Federal a investigação de crimes misóginos na internet. Este é meu relato de experiência. Seguimos na resistência.

Nominalization in Persian: Evidence for low negation
Authors: Kahnemuyipour Arsalan
Published: August 2022

This paper uses a novel argument based on nominalization to argue for a low structural position for negation in Persian. This proposal is advanced in two stages. First, the paper investigates nominalization in Persian to identify the height at which nominal structure is introduced. Using evidence from the distribution of various kinds of syntactic objects in the context of nominalization, it will be argued that nominalization occurs at the level of VoiceP (or just above it) in Persian. Next, the paper uses the findings about nominalization to provide an argument for a low position of sentential negation in the language. It will be shown that negation in Persian in included in the nominalized structure and, hence, negation has to be low. This proposal is weighed against previous accounts in the literature, which have taken negation to be high in the language.

CONNECTOR, fitting and clustering of longitudinal data. v1
Authors: Pernice Simone
Published: August 2022

The transition from the evaluation of a single time point to the examination of the entire dynamic evolution of a system is possible only in the presence of the proper framework. The strong variability of dynamic evolution makes the definition of an explanatory procedure for data fitting and data clustering challenging. Here we present CONNECTOR, a data-driven framework able to analyze and inspect longitudinal data in a straightforward and revealing way. When used to analyze tumor growth kinetics over time in 1599 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) growth curves from ovarian and colorectal cancers, CONNECTOR allowed the aggregation of time-series data through an unsupervised approach in informative clusters. Through the lens of a new perspective of mechanism interpretation, CONNECTOR shed light onto novel model aggregations and identified unanticipated molecular associations with response to clinically approved therapies.
Word in technogenic multidimensional space
Authors: Bylieva D. S.
Published: August 2022

Today, artificial intelligence is actively mastering natural languages, becoming an interlocutor and partner of human in various aspects of activity. However, the symbolic approach, which implies the transfer of rules and logic, has failed, the number of rules and exceptions of the language does not allow its formalization, so modern «deep learning» of artificial neural networks involves an independent search for patterns in extensive databases. During training, artificial intelligence puts a word into a sentence so that the syntagmatic relationships are as close as possible to those of the target word in the base, taking into account both the semantic relationships of words and the relationships between words in the sequence of presentation. The «language» of information technologies is digital. During natural language processing, words are represented in vector form as a sequence of numbers. The idea of representing words mathematically is familiar to people and is usually associated with logical consistency. Visualization of the position of words in a multidimensional space created by artificial intelligence demonstrates a number of patterns, obvious semantic and syntactic relationships, but the essence of other relationships between words is not obvious. The mathematical representation of words, created by artificial intelligence, can allow you to look at the language from a new non-human point of view.
Balanced Multi-Channel Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Adelani Zahra , Mirjalily Ghasem , HajMirzaei Milad
Published: August 2022

Data collection is an essential task in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In data collection process, the sensor nodes transmit their readings to a common base station called Sink. To avoid a collision, it is necessary to use the appropriate scheduling algorithms for data transmission. On the other hand, multi-channel design is considered as a promising technique to reduce network interference and latency of data collection. This technique allows parallel transmissions on different frequency channels, thus time latency will be reduced. In this paper, we present a new scheduling method for multi-channel WSNs called Balanced Multi Channel Data Collection (Balanced MC-DC) Algorithm. The proposed protocol is based on using both Non-Overlapping Channels (NOC) and Partially Overlapping Channels (POC). It uses a new approach that optimizes the processes of tree construction, channel allocation, transmission scheduling and balancing simultaneously. Extensive simulations confirm the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the existing algorithms in wireless sensor networks.
New Holes and Boundary Detection Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Khedr Ahmed , Attia Arwa
Published: August 2022

Hole is an area in wireless sensor network (WSN) around which nodes cease to sense or communicatedue to drainage of battery or any fault, either temporary or permanent. Holes impair sensing andcommunication functions of network; thus their identication is a major concern. In this paper, adistributed solution is proposed for detecting boundaries and holes in the WSN using only the nodesconnectivity information and estimated distance between nodes. The run of our protocol is dividedinto four main phases. In the rst phase, each node discovers its coverage neighbors and collects theirinformation. In the second phase, each node communicates with its neighbors to nd whether its sensingrange is fully covered by the sensing ranges of its neighbors. In the third phase, the boundary nodesconnect with each other to complete the boundary information. In the fourth phase, a boundary subgraphamongst boundary nodes is constructed and classied either as an interior or an exterior boundary.Simulation results show that our approach improves the energy and reduces the number of boundarynodes over existing algorithms.

Published: August 2022

To provide broad band connectivity to the mobile users and to build a self-structured network, where it is not possible to have wired network, “Wireless Mesh Networks” are the most vital suitable technology. Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks is a multi-objective nonlinear optimization problem with some constraints. We explore multicast routing for least-cost, delay-sensitive and congestion-sensitive in optimizing the routing in Wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In this work different parameters are associated like edge cost, edge delay and edge congestion. The aim is to create a tree traversing which the set of target nodes are spanned, so as to make the cost and congestion to be minimum with a bounded delay over the path between every pair of source and destination. Since searching optimal routing satisfying multi constraints concurrently is an NP complete problem, we have presented a competent estimated algorithm certified with experimental results, which shows that the performance of presented algorithm is nearly optimum.

P2P botnet has become a serious security threat for computer networking systems. Botnet attack causes a great financial loss and badly impact the information and communication technology (ICT) system. Current botnet detection mechanisms have limitations and flaws to deal with P2P botnets which famously known for their complexity and scalable attack. Studies show that botnets behavior can be detected based on several detection features. However, some of the feature parameters may not represent botnet behavior and may lead to higher false alarm detection rate. In this paper, we reveal selected feature that influences P2P botnets detection. The result obtained by selecting features shows detection attack rate of 99.74%.
Pushing and Non-pushing Forward Motion in Crowds: A Systematic Psychological Observation Method for Rating Individual Behavior in Pedestrian Dynamics
Authors: Üsten Ezel , Lügering Helena , Sieben Anna
Published: August 2022

Pushing behavior impairs people’s sense of well-being in a crowd and represents a significant safety risk. There are nevertheless still a lot of unanswered questions about who behaves how in a crowded situation, and when, where, and why pushing behavior occurs. Beginning from the supposition that a crowd is not thoroughly homogenous and that behavior can change over time, we developed a method to observe and rate forward motion. Based on the guidelines of quantitative content analysis, we came up with four categories: (1) falling behind, (2) just walking, (3) mild pushing, and (4) strong pushing. These categories allow for the classification of the behavior of any person at any time in a video, and thereby the method allows for a comprehensive systematization of individuals’ actions alongside temporal crowd dynamics. The application of this method involves videos of moving crowds including trajectories. The initial results show a very good inter-coder reliability between two trained raters demonstrating the general suitability of the system to describe forward motion in crowds systematically and quantify it for further analysis. In this way, pushing behavior can be better understood and, prospectively, risks better identified. This article offers a comprehensive presentation of this method of observation.

Giriş ve Amaç: Viral hepatitler tüm dünyada en önemli karaciğer hastalığı nedeni olma özelliğini sürdürmektedir. Bunun yanında alkolik ve nonalkolik karaciğer hastalıklarına da artan sıklıkta rastlanmaktadır. Obezite ve diyabet sıklığı ile alkol tüketimindeki artışlar, bu faktörlerin önümüzdeki yıllarda kronik karaciğer hastalıkları etiyolojisinde daha önemli olacağını düşündürmektedir. Karaciğer fibrozisi ve sonucunda gelişen siroz, kronik karaciğer hastalığının başlıca morbidite ve mortalite sebebidir. Çalışmada elastografi ile elde edilen fibrozis ve steatozis sonuçlarının biyokimyasal ve antropometrik parametrelerle olan ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Gastroenteroloji Kliniği’ne başvuran ve elastografi yapılan 50 hasta çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Hastaların biyokimyasal parametreleri ve beden kitle indeksi ile elastografik steatoz ve fibrozis skorları arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi. Elastografi kontrollü atenüasyon parametresi değerleri Li’nin skalası baz alınarak S0-S3 arasında; fibrozis/elastisite değerleri ise Petroff’un skalası baz alınarak F0-F4 arasında sınıflandırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dâhil edilen 50 hastanın 26’sı erkek, 24’ü kadındı. Ortalama yaş 49.9 ± 13.4 yıldı. Vücut kitle indeksi için ortanca değer 29.4 kg/m2 olarak saptandı. En sık eşlik eden hastalıklar hipertansiyon (n = 19, %38), diyabetes mellitus (n = 19, %38), hiperlipidemi (n = 11, %22) ve hipotiroidi (n = 7, %14) idi. Hastaların transient elastografi ile ölçülen fibrozis skorları; F0-1 %84 (n = 42), F2 %4 (n = 2), F3 %4 (n = 2 ve F4 %8 (n = 4); elastografi kontrollü atenüasyon parametresi değerleri ise S0 %61.2 (n = 30), S1 %2 (n = 1), S2 %10.2 (n = 5), S3 %6.1 (n = 3), S4 %20.4 (n = 10) şeklinde idi. Steatoz derecesi ≥ S2 olanlarda vücut kitle indeksi ve trigliserit düzeyi anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p < 0.05). Fibrozis düzeyi ≥ F2 olanlarda total kolesterol, yüksek dansiteli lipoprotein, alanin aminotransferaz ve gama glutamil transpeptidaz değerleri anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p < 0.05). Alıcı işlem karakteristikleri eğrisi kullanılarak yapılan analiz sonucunda steatoz derecesi ≥ S2 varlığını ön gördüren vücut kitle indeksi değerinin 29.6 kg/m2 olduğu saptanmıştır (%73.7 duyarlılık, %65.5 özgüllük, eğrinin altında kalan: 0.808, %95 güven aralığı: 0.687-0.028). Sonuç: Elastografik olarak karaciğer steatoz ve fibrozisinin belirlenmesi, hastaların rutin takiplerinde klinik durumu, prognozu ve tedavi cevabının değerlendirilmesi açısından faydalı ve etkin bir yöntemdir. Ekonomik nedenlerle uygulanamadığı durumlarda noninvaziv testlerin kullanımı ihmal edilmemelidir.
Investigation of Process Parameters for Optimum Thermal Energy Distribution in Spark Erosion Process
Authors: Akhtar Hasan , Jaiswal Pankaj , Biyani Sarvesh , Gowardipe Nilesh
Published: August 2022

In the Spark Erosion machining process, the electrical energy in the inter-electrode gap gets converted into thermal
energy. Whatever thermal energy generated in inter electrode gap gets distributed among anode, cathode and the
dielectric fluid. The workpiece in spark erosion process is kept as anode and the fraction of the total energy which is
going to the anode (workpiece) should be maximum. As this thermal energy is responsible for the melting of material
on the workpiece. This fraction of energy is the important parameter used to predict the effective use of total heat
energy generated between tool and workpiece. The fraction of energy that is going to workpiece changes with change
in machine parameter. It has been observed from the literature that the researcher simply considered a variation of
spark voltage in analysis as a significant parameter in deciding material removal rate.
In this work is variation of fraction of energy is experimentally determined with process parameters by using heat
transfer equations during the spark erosion process of EN-31. The results showed that the ratio of amount of energy
going to workpiece and total energy generated at inter electrode gap ranges from 9.56% to 18.97%. So, fraction of
energy which is going to workpiece at different machining process parameter changes significantly, which proves that
the it has significant impact on material removal rate and should be considered in study of spark erosion process.

Cancer is known as one of the world’s top reason of mortality in human beings. Lung cancer, notably, has the highest mortality rate. Thus, timely detection of nodule or tumor is a critical and significant job in saving lives. One of the hot topic in current research field is automatic detection of lung nodules. Many methods have been implemented using computer vision-based technologies in the past, but achieving the desired precision still remains a difficult job. In this research, we adopt Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based UNet image segmentation model and improved its architecture by incorporating convolution mechanisms. Moreover, this scheme uses binary cross entropy as loss function during training process. The proposed mechanism is tested on LIDC-IDRI dataset. The experimental analysis shows the augmented performance of proposed approach when compared with existing segmentation techniques. The qualitative and quantitative comparative analysis shows that the suggested scheme substantially improves the efficiency of segmentation performance.

Published: August 2022

Energy has been a major challenge in practically all networks, particularly in terms of consumption and efficient energy utilization. Many experiments and proposals for flaw detection have been made in the past, including relevant evidence. However, academics have yet to discover the absolute solution to the pre-”fault tolerance and prevention” routing protocol. using energy efficient awareness. Therefore, there is a need to explain the definition of importance of energy efficient pre-fault detection in WSNs. We propose a disseminated important productive steering calculation for WSNs that takes mind adaptation to internal failure of the network. At that point, we propose a circulated steering calculation called “Dispersed Blame Transmission Multipath Cluster Based Protocol (DBTMCP)” approach takes into account the CHs’ important use as well as their adaptation to non-critical failure. In this research, we present a protocol that selects a succeeding node in an energy-efficient manner and, in the event of its failure, restores the connectivity of the cluster’s neighbours in a sensitive manner.

In modern research, pattern recognition is a vast field for the academicians and researchers to contribute their work. Various kinds of patterns like images, character, handwritten digit, etc can be recognized and classify with the help of the intelligent techniques. This research work is concentrated on the classification of handwritten digit recognition. In the world, peoples’ handwriting is different from each other’s and uses different languages, so it is necessary to develop a model that is able to recognize handwritten digits with high accuracy. Various deep and machine learning methods have been implemented by various authors and achieved satisfactory results. This research work has proposed a hybrid technique that combines deep learning and machine learning algorithms for classification of handwritten digit characters. The proposed model has two steps, first feature extraction, and second is classification of handwritten digits. The Convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used as feature extractor, and support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest Classifier (RFC) algorithms have been used to recognize and classify handwritten digits. We have used very famous handwritten digit dataset as MNIST that contains 70000 samples of 0-9 digits, and EMNIST is an extended version of the MNIST dataset, that contains 280000 handwritten digit samples. The contribution of this research work is to enhance the recognition rate by our proposed hybrid models as CNN with SVM named as CNN-SVM, CNN with RFC named as CNN-RFC, and CNN with KNN named as CNN-KNN model, and achieved excellent recognition rate with both MNIST and EMNIST data samples. We have achieved the testing accuracy as 99.45% by CNN-RFC, 99.48% by CNN-KNN, and 99.55% by CNN-SVM with MNIST dataset while 99.54% by CNN-RFC, 99.46% by CNN-KNN, and 99.66% by CNN-SVM with EMNIST dataset. The testing accuracy achieved by our proposed model is tremendous and higher than previous research work.

As the green area continues to get replaced because of the increase in population and urbanization, the requirement to recover this area has become crucial for improving environmental quality. Installation of green roofs is one way that can curb the negative affect of growth and establishment while providing various environmental and economical benefits. Various names are given to green roofs such as “eco-roofs”, “roof-gardens”, etc. And these are roofs with vegetation at the top surface. The most specific reason for installing green roofs in the building is because of its energy efficiency. Along with this, other benefits do exist like their vegetation aids photosynthesis and their soil layer absorbs rainfall, typically leading to development in water runoff quality. This review paper focuses on green roofs along with research efforts created by researchers. The discussion concentrates on each part of the green roof elements, i.e., vegetation, growth substrate, filter layer, drainage layer, waterproofing layer, and root barrier. This paper also includes experimental studies on the assortment of efficient green roof elements to satisfy public expectations. Moreover, the advantages provided by green roofs are highlighted.

In this research, the author intends to design a ventilator device which uses a working system to open and close the valve to distribute air to the patient. This tool uses several sensors: oxygen sensor KE-25F3, flow sensor yf-s201, pressure sensor MPX 5700, and temperature sensor DS 12B20. The tidal volume (VT) has 3 setting values: 700 ml, 500 ml, and 300 ml. The test is carried out by opening and closing the valve. The respiratory rate has 2 settings of 15 and 20 breaths/minute. In addition, the humidifier has 3 setting modes 32, 35, and 40o C. From the test results, the highest error was obtained in the 300 ml tidal volume test, which was 7.20% and in the respiratory rate test, the highest error value was 0%. The test results with the oxygen concentration parameter obtained the largest error value of 0.1% at 100% oxygen concentration. In testing the temperature and humidity parameters, the largest average error was 2.40% at 40o C setting. So, it can be concluded that the tool is feasible to use because of the level of small error and still within the standard calibration tolerance of 15%.
Enhancement of the Tracking Performance for Robot Manipulator by Using the Feed-forward Scheme and Reasonable Switching Mechanism
Authors: Ngo Ha Quang Thinh , Nguyen Minh Hoang
Published: August 2022

Robot manipulator has become an exciting topic for many researchers during several decades. They have investigated the advanced algorithms such as sliding mode control, neural network, or genetic scheme to implement these developments. However, they lacked the integration of these algorithms to explore many potential expansions. Simultaneously, the complicated system requires a lot of computational costs, which is not always supported. Therefore, this paper presents a novel design of switching mechanisms to control the robot manipulator. This investigation is expected to achieve superior performance by flexibly adjusting various strategies for better selection. The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) scheme is well-known, easy to implement, and ensures rapid computation while it might not have much control effect. The advanced interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control properly deals with nonlinear factors and disturbances. Consequently, the PID scheme is switched when the tracking error is less than the threshold or is far from the target. Otherwise, the interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is activated to cope with unknown factors. The main contributions of this paper are (i) the recommendation of a suitable switching mechanism to drive the robot manipulator, (ii) the successful integration of the interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control to track the desired trajectory, and (iii) the launching of several tests to validate the proposed controller with robot model. From these achievements, it would be stated that the proposed approach is effective in tracking performance, robust in disturbance-rejection, and feasible in practical implementation.

The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) method is one of the most popular hydroponic cultivation methods. This method has advantages such as easier maintenance, faster and optimal plant growth, better use of fertilizers, and less deposition. The disadvantages of NFT include the consumption of electrical power and the faster spread of disease. Therefore, NFT requires a good nutrient control and monitoring system to save electricity and achieve optimal growth and resistance to pests and diseases. In this study, a nutrient control was designed with indicators of pH and TDS levels and equipped with an Internet of Things (IoT) based monitoring system. The control system used is the Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System. The output of the system is the active time of the pH Up, pH Down, and AB Mix nutrient pumps, which aim to normalize the pH and TDS of nutrient liquids. The experimental results show that one to three control steps are needed to normalize pH. One control step has a response time of 60 seconds, and it can prevent pH Up and pH Down oscillations. As for TDS control, the prediction of AB mix pump active time works accurately, and TDS levels can be normalized in one control step. Overall, based on surface control, simulations, and real experimental data, it is indicated that the control system operates very well and can normalize pH and TDS to the desired normal standard.

The improvements and innovations in the field of robotics have given a great opportunity to perform tasks that are hazardous for humans to perform. For example, robots can be used for working on high-storied buildings, inspection on ferromagnetic surfaces, painting and maintenance of buildings, surveillance purposes, etc., at the outset, to carry out any operation on vertical surfaces, which may be quite hazardous and time-consuming as well, wall climbing robots (WCRs) can be deployed. The method of adhesion determines the stability of the robot on the wall, be it smooth or coarse. Using magnets to bring about magnetic adhesion would be advantageous when the robot is maneuvered over iron or steel surfaces, typically, to clean boilers, etc., This paper presents the different ways of placements of the magnets, both permanent and electromagnets, in order to introduce adequate magnetic adhesion that would cease the robot from toppling down while encountering an obstacle. This work proposes two methods of arrangement of magnets: square and diamond. Four electromagnets when arranged in array formation with 5000 windings of thin copper coil, generated a magnetic field force of approximately 150 N when 50 A of current is passed. By and large, around 35 N to 40 N is the suction force that would be sufficient to stick the WCR of 2kg on the wall, while using a suction chamber instead of electromagnets. Other methods of placing the magnets such as square and diamond are studied and compared as well using FEMM. Hence arranging the 4 electromagnets in array formation gives an adhesion pressure sufficient to hold and move the WCR, over the vertical wall against gravity.

Published: August 2022

Microparticles have the potentials to be used for many medical purposes in-side the human body such as drug delivery and other operations. This paper attempts to provide a thorough comparison between five meta-heuristic search algorithms:  Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA), Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA), and Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO). These approaches were used to calculate the PID controller optimal indicators with the application of different functions, including Integral Absolute Error (IAE), Integral of Time Multiplied by Square Error (ITSE), Integral Square Time multiplied square Error (ISTES), Integral Square Error (ISE), Integral of Square Time multiplied by square Error (ISTSE), and Integral of Time multiplied by Absolute Error (ITAE). Every method of controlling was presented in a MATLAB Simulink numerical model, and LABVIEW software was used to run the experimental tests. It is observed that the MPA technique achieves the highest values of settling error for both simulation and experimental results among other control approaches, while the SSA approach reduces the settling error by 50% compared to former experiments. The results indicate that SSA is the best method among all approaches and that ISTES is the best choice of PID for optimizing the controlling parameters.

Escola para todos e cada um: proposta de síntese entre planejamento coletivo e planejamento individualizado
Authors: Cenci Adriane , Bastos Amélia Rota Borges de
Published: August 2022

A garantia de acesso em ambientes escolares não restritivos, com igualdade de oportunidades, é uma das premissas das políticas de inclusão. Tal garantia, na perspectiva vigotskiana, pode ser também tomada como alternativa ao desenvolvimento, considerando ser a escola um espaço cujas práticas podem culminar em aprendizagem para estudantes com deficiência. Vigotski viveu noutro contexto histórico e cultural, contudo, os princípios da sua teoria acerca do desenvolvimento das pessoas com deficiência podem ser orientadores para uma proposta de escola inclusiva. Este artigo é desencadeado pela proposição vigotskiana de síntese dialética entre o ensino comum e o ensino especializado, destacando o trabalho colaborativo na escola inclusiva. Tem como objetivo propor uma síntese entre o planejamento individualizado e o planejamento coletivo, organizados, respectivamente, em propostas, como o Planejamento Educacional Individualizado (PEI) e o Desenho Universal para a Aprendizagem (DUA). Configura-se como um ensaio teórico que busca aproximações entre os escritos de Vigotski e as formas de organização do ensino na perspectiva inclusiva. Ao invés de polarizar os diferentes designs de planejamento do ensino, compreende-se o potencial de uma proposta de planejamento colaborativa, que agregue tanto o coletivo (como o DUA) quanto o individual (como o PEI) para a construção de síntese que supere limitações, preservando a essência de cada uma dessas abordagens metodológicas. Desse modo, apresentam-se orientações para o planejamento, que é coletivo e individualizado, a partir de uma perspectiva colaborativa, como construção da síntese dialética.
Publicidade com crianças: notas sobre Programa “Leia para uma Criança” do Itaú Social

O texto expõe resultados de uma investigação documental e qualitativa que teve como corpus de análise o programa “Leia para uma criança” da Fundação Itaú Social. De modo mais específico focalizou-se a seguinte questão: Que repercussões as estratégias de marketing do Banco Itaú sobre infância trazem para o pensamento crítico no campo da educação? A proposta de análise fundamentou-se metodologicamente em Penn (2002), acerca das imagens, já que o corpus abarca campanhas publicitárias comerciais construídas tanto a linguagem verbal quanto a não verbal.  O texto mostra que é possível pensar sobre o papel da escola e o papel da instituição financeira que constrói todo um relato sobre o papel da educação familiar e dos livros e da leitura. Pode-se inclusive problematizar se está havendo uma inversão de papéis. Isso denota que os profissionais da educação devem interrogar sobre os limites da pretensa autoridade da publicidade para tratar de temas tão pujantes para o campo da formação humana. Conclui-se que é fundamental formação docente que lhes permitam questionar o deslocamento da autoridade pedagógica da escola para as mídias e a publicidade. Equivale a pensar também na potência e no papel da escola e dos docentes na sociedade contemporânea, na importância decisiva da autoridade pedagógica dessa instituição e desses sujeitos para a reflexão crítica e a formação das crianças.
