Έμφυλη ισότητα στην εκπαιδευτική πολιτική της Ελλάδας (1975-2020)
Authors: Μοσχοβάκου Ναυσικά
Published: January 2023

Η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει το πεδίο της εκπαιδευτικής πολιτικής, αποκαλύπτοντας τις αιτίες που δυσχεραίνουν την προώθηση της έμφυλης ισότητας στο εκπαιδευτικό πλαίσιο. Στο επίκεντρο της διερεύνησης τίθεται αφενός ο λόγος της πολιτικής, και ειδικότερα ο κοινοβουλευτικός λόγος της εκπαιδευτικής πολιτικής, και αφετέρου οι εμπειρίες των εκπαιδευτικών που καλούνται να εφαρμόσουν πολιτικές για την έμφυλη ισότητα στο πλαίσιο του εκπαιδευτικού τους έργου. Με τον τρόπο αυτόν, επιδιώκεται η αποκάλυψη της έμφυλης ιδεολογίας και των αντίστοιχων πολιτισμικών στοιχείων που διέπουν την εκπαιδευτική πολιτική, τόσο στο επίπεδο της θεσμοθέτησής της από τους φορείς εξουσίας, όσο και στο επίπεδο της εφαρμογής της, στο οποίο εκφράζονται μέσα από αντιστάσεις προς τον έμφυλο μετασχηματισμό.Ειδικότερα, στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας, εξετάζεται: κατά πόσον ο κοινοβουλευτικός λόγος για την εκπαιδευτική πολιτική κατασκευάζει έμφυλους κοινωνικούς ρόλους και αναπαράγει στερεότυπες αντιλήψεις, εάν οι εκπαιδευτικές πολιτικές παρεμβάσεις για την έμφυλη ισότητα αποτελούν μέρος μιας συνεκτικής εκπαιδευτικής πολιτικής προς την κατεύθυνση της έμφυλης αλλαγής, γιατί δεν επιφέρουν μακροπρόθεσμα αποτελέσματα και αλλαγές, και ποιες είναι αντιστάσεις με ιδεολογική ή άλλη αφετηρία, που διαδραματίζουν ανασταλτικό ρόλο στην προώθηση της έμφυλης ισότητας.Η διατριβή αποτελείται από δύο μέρη. Στο πρώτο μέρος αναπτύσσονται οι θεωρητικές προσεγγίσεις από διαφορετικά επιστημονικά και επιμέρους θεματικά πεδία, τα οποία συνδέονται με το υπό διερεύνηση αντικείμενο, προκειμένου να παράσχουν τα εννοιολογικά εργαλεία για την ανάλυσή του. Ειδικότερα, παρουσιάζεται η θεωρητική συζήτηση για την ανάλυση των πολιτικών του κράτους, με έμφαση στις προσεγγίσεις για τον λόγο, καθώς και θεωρητικά εργαλεία της φεμινιστικής θεωρίας για τον λόγο και τις πολιτικές ισότητας. Το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο ολοκληρώνεται με τη συμπερίληψη προσεγγίσεων για την εκπαιδευτική πολιτική και την εκπαίδευση ως πεδίο (ανα)παραγωγής έμφυλων ανισοτήτων. Τέλος, στο πρώτο μέρος παρουσιάζονται διεξοδικά οι πολιτικές που έχουν αναπτυχθεί σε διεθνές, ευρωπαϊκό και εθνικό επίπεδο για την έμφυλη ισότητα στην εκπαίδευση.Στο δεύτερο μέρος παρουσιάζεται το μεθοδολογικό πλαίσιο που επιλέχθηκε για τη διεξαγωγή της έρευνας, καθώς και τα αποτελέσματα των ερευνητικών εστιάσεων σχετικά με α) τις νοηματοδοτήσεις για το φύλο στο πεδίο της εκπαίδευσης, που προκύπτουν από την ανάλυση του πολιτικού λόγου, όπως αρθρώνεται σε συνεδριάσεις του Ελληνικού Κοινοβουλίου, καθώς και β) τις στάσεις των εκπαιδευτικών και των ατόμων που συμμετείχαν σε δύο εφαρμοσμένες εκπαιδευτικές παρεμβάσεις για το φύλο (παρεμβατικά προγράμματα και θεματική εβδομάδα), σε σχέση με τον τρόπο υλοποίησής τους και με τα επιμέρους στοιχεία που αναδύθηκαν μέσα από ημι-δομημένες συνεντεύξεις.

Akta sejmikowe województwa bełskiego: Lata 1656-1695
Authors: Zwierzykowski Michał , Kołodziej Robert , Kamieński Andrzej
Published: January 2023

W 2020 r. ukazały się Akta sejmikowe województwa bełskiego. Lata 1572-16551 . Wydawnictwo to było pierwszą z zaplanowanych trzech publikacji, których celem jest kompletna i nowoczesna edycja akt sejmiku bełskiego. We wstępie do tego tomu omówiono szczegółowo zarówno dzieje akt bełskich, jak i perturbacje związane z pierwszymi próbami ich edycji w zasłużonej serii „Akta Grodzkie i Ziemskie”. Dokonano tam również szczegółowej charakterystyki spuścizny zachowanej po niedoszłym wydawcy akt, Wojciechu Hejnoszu, która to spuścizna stała się pierwszą inspiracją do podjęcia na nowo próby edycji tego wielce interesującego i bardzo potrzebnego materiału źródłowego. W 2021 r. udało się wydać kolejny tom akt sejmikowych, noszący tytuł Akta sejmikowe województwa bełskiego. Lata 1696-1772 (1792) . We wstępie do niego Czytelnik znajdzie krótko omówione przyczyny, które sprawiły, że jako drugi ukazał się tom obejmujący czasy saskie i stanisławowskie. Niniejszy tom jest trzecim i jednocześnie ostatnim z serii akt sejmiku bełskiego – obejmuje lata 1656-1695. Dzięki temu, że ukazuje się jako ostatni, jeszcze jesienią 2021 r. udało się wydawcom przeprowadzić uzupełniające kwerendy we Lwowie. Planowano wprawdzie dodatkowe kwerendy wiosną 2022 r., jednak na przeszkodzie stanęła bezprecedensowa i niczym nieuzasadniona napaść Rosji na Ukrainę. Dzięki pomocy i zaangażowaniu jednego z recenzentów wszystkich tomów, dr. Oleksija Winnyczenki, oraz pracowników Centralnego Państwowego Archiwum Historycznego we Lwowie udało się jednak przygotować ostateczną wersję niniejszego zbioru do druku.
Impact of Modularity Design on Mobile App Launch Success
Authors: Chung Moonwon , Sharma Luv , Malhotra Manoj K.
Published: January 2023

Problem definition: Initial product design decisions are critically important for mobile apps, which show a relatively short time from launch to peak usage, thus providing a narrow window for success and no time for course correction based on market reaction. Mobile apps are designed using a highly modular architecture based on software development kits (SDKs), with SDK choices being sequentially determined along three dimensions—multiplicity (total number of SDKs), compatibility (SDK co-occurrence frequency), and novelty (SDK degree of newness to the developer). We evaluate the consequence of these decisions on initial market success in the context of mobile gaming app design. Academic/practical relevance: The resulting conceptual framework aids developers in determining the modularity of digital product development. Methodology: We formulate an instrumental variables least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model to estimate relationships of interest using a proprietary data set extracted from the application programming interface server of a leading mobile apps intelligence firm. Results: We find a negative impact of SDK multiplicity on initial success. High SDK compatibility can mitigate this negative effect, whereas high SDK novelty can exacerbate the negative effect of multiplicity. Post hoc analysis shows that business-to-consumer (B2C) communication features can also mitigate this negative impact. Managerial implications: Prior product modularity research has predominantly focused on physical products or relied on single-dimensional modularity measures. Our study conceptualizes modularity as multidimensional and investigates how these multidimensional SDK-based modularity choices impact the performance of a key category of digital products—mobile apps. We demonstrate that increasing multiplicity, essential in certain markets, negatively affects initial success. However, firms can enhance SDK compatibility, reduce SDK novelty, and use B2C communication channels to mitigate this negative impact.

Statistical Inference for Aggregation of Malmquist Productivity Indices
Authors: Pham Manh , Simar Léopold , Zelenyuk Valentin
Published: January 2023

A Comprehensive Set of Asymptotic Properties for a Meaningful Aggregation of Malmquist Indices

The Malmquist productivity index (MPI) has become one of the most widely used tools for analyzing dynamic performance of decision-making units. Whereas accounting for economic weights of individual units in aggregations of indices is emphasized in the literature, statistical theory for constructing confidence intervals and performing hypothesis tests based on weighted aggregation of the MPI are still unavailable. In “Statistical Inference for Aggregation of Malmquist Productivity Indices,” Pham, Simar, and Zelenyuk use a novel approach (based on the uniform delta method) to develop new asymptotic theory (including new central limit theorems) for aggregate MPIs as the basis for the statistical inference and test. They also verify the finite-sample performance of their approach via extensive Monte Carlo experiments and provide an illustration using real-world data.
Juventude “transada” nas capas da Pop, primeira revista jovem do Brasil (anos 1970)
Authors: França Maureen Schaefer
Published: January 2023

A Pop, primeira revista destinada à juventude brasileira, circulou entre 1972 e 1979, dialogando com transformações comportamentais do período impulsionadas pela contracultura e pelos movimentos gay e feminista. Busco compreender como as capas da Pop moldaram modelos de juvenilidades que, a priori, questionaram o conservadorismo social, ampliando referências para a construção das identidades juvenis. Nessa perspectiva, utilizo pesquisas sobre Juventude, Gênero, Raça, História, Imagem e Design. O estudo das mídias é relevante, pois elas constroem representações que parecem ser a própria realidade, legitimando e ampliando, mas também interditando modos de ser e estar no mundo, podendo reiterar e/ou tensionar desigualdades sociais. O estudo indicou que a Pop questionou modelos de comportamento tradicionais, embora tenha produzido, em grande medida, representações de juvenilidades ligadas às camadas privilegiadas, à branquitude e à heteronormatividade.

A construção de um guia de boas práticas sobre daltonismo a partir de princípios e perspectivas de acessibilidade cromática
Authors: Pereira Thiovane Da Rosa , Cardoso Eduardo , Rabaiolli Janderle
Published: January 2023

Utilizar a cor no design para informar especificações costuma ser uma alternativa de simplificar a comunicação. Quando utilizada exclusivamente, há a presença de barreiras para indivíduos que possuem dificuldades de identificar intervalos de cores. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar perspectivas de inclusão e acessibilidade para pessoas com daltonismo em projetos para a construção de um guia de boas práticas. A partir de três etapas de coletas de informações - levantamento bibliográfico, levantamento documental e grupos focais de avaliação -, a pesquisa, de natureza exploratória e experimental, dispõe da criação de um modelo formado por um conjunto de quatro normativas, nomeadas como princípios de acessibilidade cromática, que, quando aplicado adequadamente a uma dada circunstância, assegura que produtos se tornem acessíveis em relação às cores. Como resultado do trabalho, vinte soluções foram reunidas em um guia de boas práticas com versões acessíveis destinadas a profissionais da indústria criativa.Utilizar a cor no design para informar especificações costuma ser uma alternativa de simplificar a comunicação.

Ponto, linha e campo: três modos de vero campo do design
Authors: Kaizer Felipe
Published: January 2023

Neste artigo, tratamos da questão do campo do design, partindo das considerações deBruce Archer, Nigel Cross e, principalmente, Richard Buchanan. De modo a organizar concepções concomitantes do campo, utilizamos, além da ideia do design como campo, das figuras da linha e do ponto. Pensado com linha, o design corresponde a uma disciplina básica para a todas asespecializações, e, como ponto, o design torna-se o lugar de encontro dos diversos saberes e fazeres voltados à criação e transformação das organizações. Identificamos a questão do campo como sendo fundamental para alguns profissionais e educadores do design após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, quando problemas de maior escala e complexidade passaram a exigir novas abordagens e métodos de projeto;e a organização comooprincipal ente social responsável a partir de entãopelo mundo que habitamos, a saber, o mundo artificial ou feito pelo ser humano.
MONITORAMENTO DE BIOINDICADORES SOB EFEITO DE POLUIÇÃO POR SO2
Authors: Matta Patrícia dos Santos , Pereira Raphael do Couto , Almeida Josimar Ribeiro de
Published: January 2023

plantas de cenoura e nabo mostraram pesos frescos e secos semelhantes quando cultivadas na área próxima à indústria. Entretanto, as plantas das duas espécies, cultivadas a cinquenta e noventa metros de distância da fonte poluidora, apresentaram menor crescimento e consequentemente redução dos pesos frescos e secos. O crescimento das plantas de cenoura e nabo, medido pelo peso fresco, mostrou-se diferente entre os pontos próximos à indústria e à estação de controle a dez quilômetros. O crescimento aumentou com a distância, e consequentemente devido à topografia, com a altitude do local de cultivo das plantas. O peso seco apresentou grandes variações em todas as espécies e entre as estações de coleta. Verificou-se uma redução de 87,4% entre o peso seco das plantas crescendo na estação 2 com o controle. O fator altura também exerceu influência no efeito da emissão industrial sobre o crescimento e desenvolvimento das plantas. As espécies crescendo na estação 1, ao mesmo nível da indústria, e da estação 2, situada 122m acima do nível da indústria, porém, na direção predominante dos ventos, mostraram maior redução no crescimento, com base nos pesos frescos e secos. As condições meteorológicas, como velocidade e direção dos ventos e área de estagnação, associadas à conformação topográfica, podem aumentar os efeitos dos agentes fitotóxicos na atmosfera sobre o ecossistema vegetal. A região onde a indústria têxtil se localiza apresenta condições que favorecem o efeito de poluentes sobre as plantas crescendo nas redondezas onde este estudo foi conduzido. Plantas situadas próximas ao nível da tecelagem mostraram maiores reduções no desenvolvimento, principalmente com relação às cultivadas em áreas livres dos agentes atmosféricos tóxicos.

Este trabalho discute a diplomacia do etanol realizada pelo Brasil durante o governo Lula, com especial atenção aos atos internacionais assinados nesse período. Esta pesquisa se estrutura em torno de um eixo principal: entender quais eram as preferências do Brasil ao promover a diplomacia do etanol em meio aos países da América Latina e do Caribe. A metodologia utilizada envolveu a construção de um banco de dados original, bem como a aplicação de técnicas de estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo. Os achados indicam que o Brasil utilizou a diplomacia do etanol através da assinatura de atos internacionais para construir coalizões dentro da região com o intuito de estabelecer um mercado internacional de etanol. Contudo, pudemos verificar que os atos internacionais assinados não resultaram de fato nos efeitos esperados pelo Brasil para a região.Palavras-chave: Acordos Internacionais. Etanol. Brasil.ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the ethanol diplomacy carried out by Brazil during the Lula administration, with special attention to the international agreements signed during this period. This research is structured around a main axis: understanding what Brazil's preferences were when promoting ethanol diplomacy among Latin American and Caribbean countries. The methodology used involved the construction of an original database, as well as the application of descriptive statistics and content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that Brazil used ethanol diplomacy through the signing of international acts to build coalitions within the region in order to establish an international ethanol market. However, we were able to verify that the signed international agreements did not actually result in the effects expected by Brazil for the region.Keywords: International Agreements. Ethanol.
