Neste caso, foi identificado que oproblema ocorria devido ao não treinamento adequado dos colaboradores para aoperação de modelação e que uma série de ações precisariam ser implantadasimediatamente para obter os resultados esperados de não conformidade da peça. Aimplantação do plano de ação elaborado em decorrência da identificação da causaraiz gerou uma diminuição significativa dos refugos e consequente aumento daeficiência da produção, atingindo a quantidade de peças programadas com defeitoigual à zero e 100% de controle do vazamento.

A doação de sangue é um processo que apresenta uma trajetória histórica marcadapor fatos sociais, políticos e culturais. Buscando compreender como se chegou aoatual contexto da doação voluntária de sangue no Brasil, esse artigo teve comoobjetivo levantar a história acerca da doação de sangue. Para tanto, realizou-se umlevantamento dos estudos sobre o tema nas principais bases de dados da área. Ahistória da doação de sangue no Brasil mostra a evolução dos estudos; das técnicase métodos de coleta, armazenamento e utilização; e também o aprimoramento daspolíticas e regulamentação sobre o ato, desde a doação remunerada até os dias dehoje, em que a doação é necessariamente voluntária. Apesar de o potencial de doaçãono país ser elevado, o percentual de doadores cadastrados ainda é menor que orecomendado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde – OMS. Isso indica ainda sernecessário um trabalho constante de conscientização da relevância da doação porparte dos órgãos oficiais de saúde, bem como um trabalho de comunicação que leveem consideração os diversos perfis de doadores e, finalmente, que haja satisfaçãocom o ato, tanto em nível pessoal, quanto com relação ao atendimento prestado nomomento da doação.

Grundstückskauf und Gewährleistungsausschluss
Authors: Vu Quang Truong
Published: March 2024

This publication draws attention to the need to regulate liability for material defects when purchasing real estate. The buyer's warranty rights are regularly excluded in the property purchase contract. The buyer can acquire a worthless house due to a material defect without being able to take recourse against his contractual partner. Furthermore, he does not always have the necessary repair costs at his disposal. An economic threat to the buyer's existence is pre-programmed by the exclusion of warranty. The author examines this exclusion of warranty from a historical, legal and economic perspective. He presents possible solutions for a more efficient and fair distribution of risk.

English Only and U.S. College Composition
Authors: Horner Bruce , Trimbur John
Published: March 2024

In this article, we identify in the formation of U.S. college composition courses a tacit policy of English monolingualism based on a chain of reifications of languages and social identity. We show this policy continuing in assumptions underlying arguments for and against English Only legislation and basic writers. And we call for an internationalist perspective on written English in relation to other languages and the dynamics of globalization.

Point Counterpoint: Teaching Punctuation As Information Management
Authors: Mann Nancy
Published: March 2024

Punctuation is often learned without teaching and more often not learned despite much teaching. Jointly, these facts suggest that real punctuation decision rules are very different from and probably much simpler than the rules we teach. This article argues that the punctuation system does have features that generally make systems learnable, such as binary contrasts, limitation of parallel categories to seven or fewer options, and repeated application of the same criterion to different kinds of entities. The simplicity that allows some readers to learn this system unconsciously also makes it possible to figure out consciously the system’s underlying information–management rationales, which in turn motivate both conscious learning and use.

Nothing Educates Us Like a Shock: The Integrated Rhetoric of Melvin B. Tolson
Authors: Gold David
Published: March 2024

This essay examines the pedagogical practices of the poet, civil rights activist, andteacher Melvin B. Tolson who taught at Wiley College from 1923 to 1947. Tolson’s complex classroom style, which mixed elements of classical, African American, and current-traditional rhetoric, produced a pedagogy that was at once conservative, progressive, and radical, inspiring his students to academic achievement and social action. Tolson demonstrates that it is possible to instruct students in the norms of the academy without sacrificing their home voices or identities.
Critical Discourse Analysis and Composition Studies: A Study of Presidential Discourse and Campus Discord
Authors: Powell Pegeen Reichert

In this article, I argue that critical discourse analysis (CDA) can complement and extend existing critical and radical writing pedagogies; CDA provides the theoretical and methodological context that can articulate explicitly the relationship between language practices and politics. I use CDA to analyze texts that circulated on the campus of Miami University, Ohio, surrounding a conflict that exacerbated ongoing disputes about diversity, access, and standards, and I discuss how CDA might inform composition pedagogy.

Listening to Nysia: Storytelling as a Way Into Writing in Kindergarten
Authors: Horn Martha
Published: March 2024

This article invites the reader into a storytelling session in an urban kindergarten classroom in Boston. Writing begins for these children with the oral telling of personal stories. The author reflects on a tape-recorded session with a particular child, letting the reader in on her thinking as she listened and tried to draw out the child’s story. She considers how her response may have influenced the teller and reflects on how her responses addressed aspects of craft that are usually associated with written text. She suggests that by creating space for children to build on what they bring to school at five years old–their words and their experiences–we can help them to begin to craft stories, even before they are able to put their stories down in words.
