Efeitos da intensificação do trabalho no ensino superior: da fragmentação à articulação entre investigação, ensino, gestão académica e transferência de conhecimento
Authors: Santos Carolina Da Costa , Pereira Fátima , Lopes Amélia 
Published: July 2016

O ensino superior português, atualmente, é marcado por transformações, em consequência da adaptação da educação às mudanças políticas, económicas e sociais do país. Fatores externos, portanto, reconfiguram as preocupações, as estruturas e os objetivos da universidade. Os professores sofrem o impacto dessas mudanças, respondendo a novas exigências e reconstruindo a sua identidade. Este artigo discute a identidade académica e as dimensões do trabalho do professor universitário – ensino, investigação, gestão académica e prestação de serviços à comunidade/transferência de conhecimento – face ao cenário atual de transformações. Recorrendo a narrativas de tipo biográfico e a um grupo de discussão focalizada, o caráter empírico do estudo centra-se na voz de professores da área da Educação de uma universidade pública portuguesa. Os resultados destacam a identidade académica delineada pela intensificação do trabalho e o desejo da articulação entre as dimensões do trabalho docente, visando romper a fragmentação da profissão.PALAVRAS-CHAVEIdentidade académica; Transformações do ensino superior; Intensificação do trabalho docente; (Re)construção da identidade profissional ABSTRACTContemporary higher education is characterized by continuing alterations, as the educational system tends to follow economic, political and social changes in Portugal. In consequence, external factors reconfigure universities concerns, structures and goals. These changes have a considerable impact on academic work while higher education teachers have to respond to new tasks. Therefore, academic identity may be reconstructed. This study aims at understanding the academic identity related with the four areas of academic work – teaching, research, leadership activities and knowledge exchange – in the current changing higher education context. Focus group and biographical narratives were conducted as methodological strategies. The participants were academics of a Department of Education in a Portuguese public university. Results highlight work intensification as a defining feature of academic identity. Through data analysis, it is also possible to identify the desire of articulating the four areas of academic work in order to break up with the work fragmentation.KEYWORDSAcademic identity; Higher education changes; Academic work intensification; Professional identity (re)construction
Variáveis pessoais e socioculturais de diferenciação das expectativas académicas: Estudo com alunos do Ensino Superior do Norte de Portugal e Galiza

Published: July 2016

Com a expansão do acesso ao Ensino Superior, nas últimas décadas assistimos a uma maior heterogeneidade de estudantes neste nível de ensino. Uma das variáveis que importa considerar na análise dos perfis de estudantes universitários são as suas expectativas académicas, uma vez que as mesmas estão associadas a níveis diferentes de envolvimento,permanência e sucesso escolar. Foi administrado um questionário de expectativas a uma amostra de 717 estudantes do 1º ano, portugueses e espanhóis, avaliando sete dimensões: i) Formação para o emprego e carreira;ii) Desenvolvimento pessoal e social; iii) Mobilidade internacional; iv)Envolvimento político e cidadania; v) Pressão social; vi) Qualidade da formação; e vii) Interação social. Os resultados foram analisados em função do país, do sexo e de os estudantes serem ou não de primeira geração (senenhum dos pais possui frequência do ES). As análises mostram que, de um modo geral, os estudantes espanhóis apresentam expectativas académicas mais baixas do que os estudantes portugueses. Por outro lado, observa-se um efeito de sentido inverso entre ser ou não estudante de primeira geração,sendo que estudantes cujos pais possuem formação superior apresentam expectativas mais elevadas em Portugal, ocorrendo uma situação inversa com os estudantes de Espanha. Algumas explicações são avançadas na interpretação destes dados. Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior; Expectativas académicas; Estudantes do primeiro ano;Variáveis socioculturais
No controverso desafio da educação inclusiva: Um convite para pensar a complexidade humana
Authors: Strieder Roque , Nogaro Arnaldo 
Published: July 2016

O estudo reconhece que fazer educação inclusiva exige olhar o ser humano de modo singular em contextos multidimensionais. Nessa perspectiva chama para a discussão a fragilidade do reconhecimento das diferenças e a importância da participação da filosofia da educação como catalizadora dos debates sobre a educação inclusiva. O objetivo é investigar possíveis contribuições da filosofia da educação como desafio para uma melhor compreensão de como ações inclusivas podem ser potencializadas no universo da complexidade e das atitudes transdisciplinares. O estudo tem caráter qualitativo e busca em referenciais teóricos. Traz suportes teóricos sobre a atitude transdisciplinar e as possibilidades, no universo dessas atitudes, de uma contribuição para qualificar reflexões e ações inclusivas. Reconhece que a educação inclusiva existe em potencial e lhe falta atualização. Destaca que a transdisciplinaridade e a filosofia da educação podem conduzir as reflexões para reconhecer a complexidade da condição humana para depois olhar para o interior de si buscando compreender-se a partir do outro.PALAVRAS-CHAVEEducação inclusiva; Filosofia da educação; Transdisciplinaridade ABSTRACTThe text recognizes that to make inclusive education requires viewing thehuman being in a unique way in multidimensional contexts. From this perspective, it calls for the discussion the fragility of the recognition of differences and the importance of the participation of the philosophy of education as a catalyst for discussions on inclusive education. The goal is investigate possible contributions of the philosophy of education as a challenge for a better understanding of how inclusive actions can be potentialized in the universe of complexity and transdisciplinary actions. The text brings theoretical contributions on the transdisciplinary attitude and the possibilities, in the universe of these attitudes, to qualify reflections and inclusive actions. It recognizes that inclusive education exists in potential but it lacks updating. It highlights that transdisciplinarity and philosophy of education can lead the reflections to recognize the complexity of the human condition so that one can look within him/herself seeking a better understanding from the other.KEYWORDSInclusive education; Philosophy of education; Transdisciplinarity

Topographical and tribological characterization of some ceramic and stainless steel brackets
Authors: Merie Violeta , Ţărmure Viorica , Haragâş Simion , Pop Andreea 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Brackets, together with the arch wires, are widely used in orthodontics in order to align and to straighten teeth and also to position the teeth with regard to the patient bite. Different materials are employed for manufacturing such orthodontic devices. This paper is a study of two types of brackets. Commercial stainless steel and ceramic brackets were investigated by atomic force microscopy analyses. The tests were performed at room temperature with a relative humidity of 13 %. The topography and the friction parameters of the investigated brackets were determined at nanoscale. The results pointed out that the ceramic brackets are characterized by higher values of both topographical and frictional parameters (average roughness, friction force and friction coefficient) in comparison to the stainless steel brackets.

Summary
Aim: To investigate sex differences in myocardial perfusion especially in healthy individuals since former studies are rare and findings are controversial. Participants, methods: 26 subjects were enrolled: 16 healthy women (age: 34 ±7 years) were compared with 10 healthy men (age: 34 ± 3 years; p = ns). Myocardial blood flow (MBF) and coronary vascular resistance (CVR) were quantified at rest, during adenosine infusion and cold-pressor-testing, using positron emission tomography and radioactive-labelled water (H2
15O-PET). Results: Women showed higher MBF than men at rest (1.10 ± 0.18 vs. 0.85 ± 0.20 ml/min/ml; p = 0.003) and cold-stress (1.39 ± 0.38 vs. 1.06 ± 0.28 ml/min/ml; p = 0.026). Corrected for rate-pressure-product, baseline findings maintained significance (1.41 ± 0.33 vs. 1.16 ± 0.19 ml/min/ml; p = 0.024). CVR was lower in women at baseline (81 ± 14 vs. 107 ± 22 mmHg*ml-1*min*ml; p = 0.006) and during cold-pressor-testing (71 ± 17 vs. 91 ± 20 mmHg*ml-1*min*ml; p = 0.013). Under adenosine neither maximal MBF (4.06 ± 1.0 vs. 3.91 ± 0.88 ml/min/ml; p = ns) nor coronary flow reserve (3.07 ± 1.12 vs. 3.44 ± 0.92; p = ns) nor CVR (24 ± 8 vs. 24 ± 6 mmHg*ml-1*min*ml; p = ns) showed sex-related differences. Conclusion: Women show higher myocardial perfusion and lower coronary vascular resistance than men in physiologic states. Maximum perfusion and vasodilation under adenosine are not sex-specific.
Chimie, chimistes et rationalisation sous les auspices du ministre du Commerce et de l’Industrie Étienne Clémentel (1917-1919)
Authors: Letté Michel 
Published: July 2016

L’expression « guerre chimique » associée à la première guerre mondiale ne l’est pas seulement du fait de l’usage des gaz de combat sur le champ de bataille, mais aussi du fait de l’importance des chimistes engagés dans la conduite de la guerre industrielle. Pour nombre d’entre eux mobilisés par le ministère du Commerce et de l’Industrie, le conflit est l’occasion de collaborer à la préparation économique de l’après-guerre. Entre 1917 et 1919, ces chimistes partisans d’une gestion technocratique de la politique industrielle s’associent à Étienne Clémentel, l’un des principaux acteurs de l’économie en guerre. Ensemble, ils élaborent un programme de refondation de la production française. Le projet est porté par la conviction qu’il n’y a pas d’autre voie possible que celle dans laquelle s’est engagée l’Allemagne avant guerre : rationaliser la production, faire collaborer les scientifiques, l’administration et les industriels. Cet article retrace l’action de ces chimistes promoteurs de la rationalisation. Il rend compte de leurs actions à la direction du Comité consultatif des arts et manufactures, du congrès du Génie civil, de la Société de chimie industrielle, et enfin à la rédaction du Rapport général sur l’industrie française .
Visual Representation of Body Shape in African-American and European American Women: Clinical Considerations
Authors: Capers Patrice L. , Kinsey Amber W. , Miskell Edrika L. , Affuso Olivia 
Published: July 2016

Background Body mass index (BMI) has been used widely among clinicians to assess obesity in their patients due to its ease and availability. However, BMI has some diagnostic limitations and other measures related to health risks; in particular, body shape may be of greater relevance to health outcomes. Objective The objective of this study was to illustrate the importance of body shape assessments above and beyond BMI and its relationship to health risk among a sample of African-American and European American women. Methods African-American and European American women aged 19–78 years ( n = 552) in Birmingham, Alabama, were recruited and stratified by menopausal status (ie, pre- or postmenopausal). Pictorial body shapes were derived from digital photographs, while body fat distribution defined by android-gynoid ratio (AGR) and body composition were obtained from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results Images of BMI and age-matched women illustrate variability in fat distribution. Among both menopausal status groups, more than 50% of women had a pear body shape (AGR < 1). An apple body shape was associated with higher odds of having diabetes (unadjusted odds ratio [OR]: 4.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9–9.3), hypertension (unadjusted OR: 3.1, 95% CI: 2.0–4.7), and high cholesterol (unadjusted OR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.8–5.1). Conclusion Use of visual cues alongside traditional methods of weight status assessment may help to facilitate weight management conversations between physicians and female patients. However, next steps should include the validation of visual assessments of body shape in women for use by physicians.
A Block Diagonal Preconditioner for Generalised Saddle Point Problems
Authors: Zheng Zhong , Zhang Guo Feng 
Published: July 2016

AbstractA lopsided alternating direction iteration (LADI) method and an induced block diagonal preconditioner for solving block two-by-two generalised saddle point problems are presented. The convergence of the LADI method is analysed, and the block diagonal preconditioner can accelerate the convergence rates of Krylov subspace iteration methods such as GMRES. Our new preconditioned method only requires a solver for two linear equation sub-systems with symmetric and positive definite coefficient matrices. Numerical experiments show that the GMRES with the new preconditioner is quite effective.
Numerical Solution to the Multi-Term Time Fractional Diffusion Equation in a Finite Domain
Authors: Li Gongsheng , Sun Chunlong , Jia Xianzheng , Du Dianhu 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis paper deals with numerical solution to the multi-term time fractional diffusion equation in a finite domain. An implicit finite difference scheme is established based on Caputo's definition to the fractional derivatives, and the upper and lower bounds to the spectral radius of the coefficient matrix of the difference scheme are estimated, with which the unconditional stability and convergence are proved. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis, and the method and technique can also be applied to other kinds of time/space fractional diffusion equations.
An Attempt at a Logical Refutation of Descartes’ Cogito Ergo Sum
Authors: Ebeh John Igbogo 
Published: July 2016

In the development of Greek philosophy, the focus of the ancient philosophers on realities, trying to determine the ultimate principle of all things, begs the question as to what part or extent of reality is assessable to man’s knowledge. And a kind of skepticism was born, shifting the attention from the object [or the realities on which the ancient philosophers were focused on] to the observing or the knowing subject; man and the means through which he comes into contact with the known object. Thus, the possibility of attaining certain knowledge about realities was denied by the skeptics, giving the unreliable nature of the means by which such knowledge were acquired and the complexities of realities as powerful premises for their conclusion until the emergence of Descartes’ cogito ergo sum, proving that there was something that could be known for certain using their [or the skeptic’s] own method [doubting] to prove to them that in their own doubting, they confirm their own existence. This paper is concerned with whether or not the cogito is a suitable premise for the conclusion [“existence”] of his argument. However, my aim in this work is, not to refuse the truth of the existence of any reality, rather to show the inadequacies of Descartes’ argument for them, with particular focus on the context within which his argument proceeds, which might require a bit of logical analysis; perhaps to arrive at a better conclusion for his premises.

Published: July 2016

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to explore providers’ perspectives on the use of a novel technology, “Large Customizable Interactive Monitor” (LCIM), a novel application of the electronic health record system implemented in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.We employed a qualitative approach to collect and analyze data from pediatric intensive care physicians, pediatric nurse practitioners, and acute care specialists. Using semi-structured interviews, we collected data from January to April, 2015. The research team analyzed the transcripts using an iterative coding method to identify common themes.Study results highlight contextual data on providers’ use routines of the LCIM. Findings from thirty six interviews were classified into three groups: 1) providers’ familiarity with the LCIM; 2) providers’ use routines (i.e. when and how they use it); and 3) reasons why they use or do not use it.It is important to conduct baseline studies of the use of novel technologies. The importance of training and orientation affects the adoption and use patterns of this new technology. This study is notable for being the first to investigate a LCIM system, a next generation system implemented in the pediatric critical care setting. Our study revealed this next generation HIT might have great potential for family-centered rounds, team education during rounds, and family education/engagement in their child’s health in the patient room. This study also highlights the effect of training and orientation on the adoption patterns of new technology.

La transdisciplinariedad una herramienta para transformar la investigación y extensión universitaria
Authors: Alfaro-Mardones Juan Ignacio 
Published: July 2016

La Universidad Autónoma de Nicaragua (UNAN – Managua) desde la Facultad multidisciplinaria de Matagalpa y la Unión de campesinos organizados de San Dionisio (UCOSD) están realizando un diálogo transdisciplinario desde el año 2013. A través de una investigación acción participativa donde se están articulando diferentes niveles de grado y postgrado de la Universidad con las necesidades organizativas, productivas y ambientales de la organización campesina. Desde las carreras de ingeniería agronómica, economía y economía agrícola se ha dialogado con más de 300 familias campesinas organizadas en la subcuenca del río Cálico. En estos diálogos desde las 13 comunidades donde tienen presencia la UCOSD se ha detectado una enfermedad: la organización comunitaria ha muerto dejando paso a una burocracia administrativa que transforma poco a poco de un movimiento social campesino en una empresa prestadora de servicios campesinos. Las contradicciones que sufren los movimientos campesinos y las familias rurales dialogan con las propias contradicciones que sufre la Universidad en su quehacer investigativo y de extensión. Modelos jerárquicos de poder, visiones del conocimiento encontradas y poco respetuosas, inercias de transferencia y no escucha, dolores personales que cargan mochilas pesadas sobre sus estudiantes o sobre los hijos e hijas de los productores. Estas contradicciones nos ayudan a repensar los modelos de gobierno, los modelos de investigación y extensión y su articulación con docencia que debería impulsar una Universidad para enfrentar los retos y transformaciones de este siglo XXI.

Análisis del impacto de la Actividad Solar y la variabilidad climática en la productividad apícola para el territorio cubano
Authors: Sierra-Figueredo Pablo , Pérez-Piñeiro Adolfo , Duran Zarabozo Odil , Marinero-Orate Edgar Antonio , Zaldivar-Cruz Juan Manuel 
Published: July 2016

Los resultados que se muestran en el presente trabajo tratan de responder a algunas interrogantes surgidas en trabajos anteriores realizados por los mismos autores en cuanto a la incidencia de la actividad solar y geomagnética sobre la productividad apícola no sólo teniendo en cuenta la variabilidad multianual de las mismas, sino también la estacionalidad que de forma muy fuerte se observa en dicho renglón productivo y la intermodulación entre ésta y la variabilidad climática presente, también influida por la Actividad Solar. Para ello se llevó a cabo el procesamiento de la data melífera comprendida entre el año 1979 y el 2013 con resolución mensual, teniendo en cuenta la producción total de miel, la de cera y el rendimiento por colmena para todo el país. Como índice representativo del Clima Espacial se utilizó el índice geomagnético planetario Ap. Las series de tiempo generadas y analizadas, así como el resultado estadístico obtenido muestran nexos causales entre Ap y las variables apícolas dignos de tener en cuenta para una mejor planificación de la labor apícola con fines de mejorar la productividad.
Introduction: Toward a Russian Geopoetics, or Some Ways of Relating Russia to the World
Authors: Banerjee Anindita , Presto Jenifer 
Published: July 2016

Geopoetics is concerned, fundamentally, with a relationship to the earth and with the opening of a world.—Kenneth White,Geopoetics: Place, Culture, World(2004)The thread that links these convergences is the question of landscape, the poetics and iconology of space and place, and all their relations to social and political life, to experience, to history.—W. J. T. Mitchell, “Geopoetics: Space, Place, Landscape,” Introduction to a special issue ofCritical Inquiry(2000)“Geopoetics” may be a novel concept for Russian studies, but the term is by no means new. The Scottish poet and critic Kenneth White coined it in 1978, inaugurating an international intellectual and creative movement of the same name that has gained particular momentum in the new millennium. Its urgency in a world that has grown exponentially more connected and networked yet, paradoxically, remains deeply bound to the “iconology of space and place” is evident from the way in which the cultural theorist W. J. T. Mitchell, in conversation with Edward Said and others in the symbolically freighted location of Birzeit University in the West Bank, recouped the term as the organizing principle of a special issue ofCritical Inquiryin 2000. If anything, geopoetics as an animating force as well an analytical framework for what Mitchell identifies as “social and political life,” “experience,” and “history” appears in even starker relief against the myriad transnational conflicts that define the globe in 2016 within which, in turn, the region we study has been rapidly redefining itself vis-à-vis the world.
