description: Optimizing the quality of software is a function of the degree of reviews made during the early life of a software development process. Reviews detect errors and potential errors early in the software development process. The errors detected during the early life cycle of software are least expensive to correct. Efficient involvement in software inspections and technical reviews, help developers improve their own skills, thereby mitigating the occurrence of errors in the later stage of software development process. The ideas gathered on this paper point that a properly implemented program of technical and management reviews drastically reduces the time as well as the cost required for testing, debugging, and reworking, and dramatically improves the quality of the resulting product. This paper, Optimization of Software Quality using management and technical Review Techniques, provides its readers with the opportunity to learn about and experience using this indispensable software quality tools.

Subjects: classificationCode: 320217
subject: Otorhinolaryngology

description: The prevalence of vertigo as a debilitating symptom is a health concern globally. It is widely documented that the incidence of vertigo increases with age and subsequent risk of falls. This is concerning due to the fact of the ageing population in Ireland and limited specialist clinics for treating and managing this debilitating symptom. This cohort of patients are generally referred from General Practitioners and other specialists to the Ear Nose and Throat Department for specialist input, management and treatment. The organisation in question has temporarily ceased this specialist clinic due to lack of a vestibular physiotherapist but this position has now be filled. This Quality Improvement (QI) project aims to improve and streamline the pathway for all patient referrals received with vertigo symptoms and to implement a physiotherapy led vestibular clinic. The Lean Six Sigma QI model was utilised to develop this project, under guidance of the DMAIC framework and with use of data analytic tools. Analysis of the data collected revealed that while the pilot specialist clinic demonstrated a significant impact on patient treatment, the time spent in clinic and clinician input varied considerably per patient. The new proposed process flow map with the simple implementation of a triage stamp, inclusion and exclusion criteria and a pre-clinical high yield patient questionnaire will aim to reduce patient time in clinic, optimise capacity and allow for appropriate delineation of resources within the ENT department.

description: O presente estudo tem o intuito de investigar o conceito de símbolo nas considerações teológicas de Paul Tillich e na Psicologia analítica de Carl Gustav Jung, colocando em evidencia as consagradas obras nas quais esses autores fazem referênciaao tema. Assim, é importante delimitar algumas distinções, como os conceitos de sinal e símbolo e sua relação com os tipos de pensamento dirigido e fantasia. Outro fator importante de ser observado consiste na característica do símbolo como parte fundamental da comunicação com as esferas transcendentes e numinosas. Deste modo, objetiva-se colocar em evidência as principais ideias dos autores, estabelecendo ospossíveis paralelos entre a teologia, psicologia e a ligação destes com a religião.

description: This paper introduces FastPass, an architecture that thwarts flooding attacks by providing destinations with total control over their upstream network capacity. FastPass explores an extreme design point, providing complete resistance to directed flooding attacks. FastPass builds upon prior work on network capabilities and addresses the oft-noted problem that in such schemes, a sender must first get one packet through with no protection against DoS. FastPass provides cryptographic availability tokens to senders that routers verify before expiditing their delivery. We present two variants of the tokens. The first uses light-weight public key cryptography and is practical in high-speed routers with modest hardware additions. The second uses a symmetric hashchaining scheme and is easily implemented in software. In sharp contrast to prior systems, our evaluation shows that hosts using FastPass can quickly communicate regardless of the size of the attack directed against the nodes.

description: The development of new propellants is an important field of study in chemical rocket propulsion. For Hybrid Rocket Engines (HREs), one of the propellants is stored in the solid phase inside the combustion chamber, typically the fuel, and it is possible to select different combinations of chemicals to improve the system performance. The main techniques to characterize a new solid propellant may combine ballistics investigation, optical and rheological studies of the developed material. During this phase of the characterization, the use of small burners with visualization access is important, before moving to full scale engine tests. This paper introduces the design and development process of the MOUETTE (Moteur Optique pour ETudier et Tester Ergols hybrides) optical access slab burner for investigation of the combustion behaviour of HREs fuels. The motor has been developed at Universite Libre de Bruxelles to increase the research capabilities of the rocket propulsion group of the Aero-Thermo-Mechanics Department. The burner has been conceived to use gaseous oxygen as oxidizer with a mass flow rate of up to 100 g/s at a maximum combustion chamber pressure of 10 bar. The test chamber features two quartz glass windows to allow high-speed imaging of the fuel grain, and a graphite nozzle insert, to adjust the operative pressure. The ignition of the solid fuel grain is provided by a pyrotechnic igniter. The system features a modular design, making it compatible with a second slab burner that was developed in cooperation with the Royal Military Academy of Belgium. The motor has been manufactured and integrated in the test facility, leak and proof tests have been carried out, followed by ignition sequence tests to define the operating procedure. An initial campaign with paraffin fuel has been carried out, to verify the functionality of the system.
Multiplicidade religiosa: paradoxo ou convergência?

Year: 2014

description: Ao longo dos séculos de evolução humana, a religião tem acompanhado à humanidade nesse processo, trazendo educação e permitindo resolver problemas existentes das populações, aumentando o conhecimento: esse foi o caso de Moisés que institui na Torá regras básicas de relacionamentos, de Zoroastro que estabeleceu no Avesta o caminho para a primeira declaração de direitos humanos, ou Maomé que uniu os nômades árabes através dos preceitos do Alcorão. Considera-se portanto que a religião tem como característica fundamental não só re-ligar o humano ao transcendente, como re-ligar o humano a si mesmo e aos demais humanos. O propósito deste ensaio é, assim, com base em autores da Psicologia e da História, analisar a aparente multiplicidade das religiões, procurando estabelecer pontos transversais e comuns a elas.

description: The research initiative on sustainable space logistics was initiated in May 2019, to be an intellectual hub for the current revolution in space, which can be understood as new logistics: shoebox-sized nanosatellites, a reusable rocketry renaissance, and satellite constellations that map the Earth in one day, or provide internet everywhere. Similarly, the agencies\' attention on the Moon and ISRU emphasizes new logistics. Finally, new logistics amplify some key issues, like space debris and bring new opportunities, such on-orbit servicing and active debris removal. This is a profound, long-term shift, and thus has deep implications for sustainability. RISSL contributes to the development of space research, technologies, and education, with the specific objectives : ? To initiate and support research initiatives that have the potential to drive innovation and contribute to Swiss thought leadership in Sustainable Space Logistics; ? To connect the EPFL and other Swiss laboratories with a background in space technology, via space logistics technology scouting; ? To identify commercial applications and opportunities from the developed research and support technology transfer; ? To develop talents and inspire new vocations. In order to structure this objective, the initiative has been articulated around three priorities: ? Produce tangible research outcomes ? Engage the community ? Make SSL sustainable The paper will present the main outcome of the research initiative from the top-down approach on space logistics modelling. The first chapter will present the work performed to model space logistics scenarios using an in-house software called TCAT (Technological Combination Analytical Tool) and its impact on sustainability. The second chapter will elaborate on Connecting Space Logistics Architecture through a pattern language for robust mission design. The paper will conclude on the lessons learned and the perspectives around space logistics modelling and optimisation.

description: We report the discovery of 6.7 GHz methanol maser periodic flares in four massive star forming regions and the updated light curve for the known periodic source G22.357+0.066. The observations were carried out with the Torun 32 m radio telescope between June 2009 and April 2014. Flux density variations with period of 120 to 245 d were detected for some or all spectral features. A variability pattern with a fast rise and relatively slow fall on time-scale of 30-60 d dominated. A reverse pattern was observed for some features of G22.357+0.066, while sinusoidal-like variations were detected in G25.411+0.105. A weak burst lasting ~520 d with the velocity drift of 0.24 km/s/yr occurred in G22.357+0.066. For three sources for which high resolution maps are available, we found that the features with periodic behaviour are separated by more than 500 au from those without any periodicity. This suggests that the maser flares are not triggered by large-scale homogeneous variations in either the background seed photon flux or the luminosity of the exciting source and a mechanism which is able to produce local changes in the pumping conditions is required.

Fundamentalismo protestante e pentecostalismo: distanciamento e proximidade

Year: 2014

description: Enquanto os fundamentalistas consideravam os dogmas a base do cristianismo, os pentecostais não se preocupavam com doutrinas. Para eles a essência cristã estaria além da dogmática, pois o encontro com Deus seria intermediado não pelo texto bíblico, mas sim pela experiência com o Espírito Santo; além disso, não se explicaria a realidade pelos conceitos e pela razão. Para os pentecostais “O espírito intercede pornós com gemidos inexprimíveis”, desse modo Deus excedia a linguagem racional. O presente artigo pretende descrever a origem do fundamentalismo e do pentecostalismo, de modo a estabelecer as possíveis relações entre esses dois movimentos. A metodologia empregada consistiu em pesquisa bibliográfica a respeito do tema. Algumas de nossas conclusões são de que no início do século XX fundamentalismo protestante e pentecostalismo possuíam mais distanciamentos do que proximidades.

и методы. Представлен анализ клинической ситуации больного пожилого возраста с высокой коморбидностью, у которого на фоне метаболически ассоциированной патологии и онкологического заболевания развивается острый аортальный синдром. Результаты. Были исключены варианты нестабильной ишемической болезни
сердца, тромбоэмболия легочной артерии, перикардит и миокардит. При сохранении в течение 5,5 суток торакалгии, гипотонии, анемии с развитием клиники ишемического гепатита и острого повреждения почек, развившегося на фоне хронической болезни почек, больной погиб вследствие тампонады сердца. Так как не была проведена магнитно-резонансная томография и компьютерная томография, диагноз расслаивающей аневризмы,
осложненной ее разрывом, и мультисистемного атеросклероза установлен постмортально. Мультисистемный
атеросклероз с поражением отделов аорты перестает быть редкой патологией и его необходимо включать в диагностический поиск.

aneurysm in order to optimize medical care for patients. Materials and methods. The study presents an analysis
of the clinical case of an elderly patient with high comorbidity: acute aortic syndrome secondary to metabolically
associated pathology and oncological disease. Results. In the diagnosis, variants of unstable coronary artery
disease, pulmonary embolism, pericarditis and myocarditis were excluded. The patient suffered from thoracalgia,
hypotension, anemia, the clinical picture of ischemic hepatitis and acute kidney injury with chronic kidney disease
for 5.5 days and died due to cardiac tamponade. No magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography
led to postmortal diagnosis of dissecting aneurysm, complicated by its rupture, and multisystem atherosclerosis.
Multisystem atherosclerosis with lesions of the aorta is no longer a rare pathology and should be included in the
diagnostic search.
Permutation Symmetry Determines the Discrete Wigner Function

description: The Wigner function provides a useful quasiprobability representation of quantum mechanics, with applications in various branches of physics. Many nice properties of the Wigner function are intimately connected with the high symmetry of the underlying operator basis composed of phase point operators: any pair of phase point operators can be transformed to any other pair by a unitary symmetry transformation. We prove that, in the discrete scenario, this permutation symmetry is equivalent to the symmetry group being a unitary 2-design. Such a highly symmetric representation can only appear in odd prime power dimensions besides dimensions 2 and 8. It suffices to single out a unique discrete Wigner function among all possible quasiprobability representations. In the course of our study, we show that this discrete Wigner function is uniquely determined by Clifford covariance, while no Wigner function is Clifford covariant in any even prime power dimension.

description: O artigo analisa o debate ciência e religião no interior da psicanálise, destacando algumas obras de Freud e Jung, grandes clássicos do pensamento psicanalítico. A nvestigação que deu origem ao texto tinha como objetivo o estudo da história deste debate no início da psicanálise, ponderando sobre as teorias dos dois citados estudiosos. A pesquisa se fundamentou em um levantamento bibliográfico das obras de Freud e Jung, bem como de comentadores, como Peter Gay e Michael Palmer. Destaca-se a relação entre a concepção sobre a religião de cada autor, Freud e Jung, com suas histórias de vida e experiências na comunidade científica anteriores à psicanálise. Freud, apesar de sua família, que cultivava algumas tradições culturais judaicas, trouxe à psicanálise sua formação universitária em tempos de cientificismo avesso à religião. Jung, cujo pai era pastor protestante, foi muito marcado por experiências algo místicas de alguns de seus pacientes. A teoria do Complexo de édipo de Freud explica sua concepção de religião como momento menor da humanização, como expõe em«totem e tabu». Jung constroi sua teoria da individuação e do inconsciente Coletivo,considerando a religiosidade e seu simbolismo como possíveis caminhos para a evolução dos sujeitos.

description: We consider a class of Cahn-Hilliard equation that models phase separation process of binary mixtures involving nontrivial boundary interactions in a bounded domain with non-permeable wall. The system is characterized by certain dynamic type boundary conditions and the total mass, in the bulk and on the boundary, is conserved for all time. For the case with physically relevant singular (e.g., logarithmic) potential, global regularity of weak solutions is established. In particular, when the spatial dimension is two, we show the instantaneous strict separation property such that for arbitrary positive time any weak solution stays away from the pure phases +1 and -1, while in the three dimensional case, an eventual separation property for large time is obtained. As a consequence, we prove that every global weak solution converges to a single equilibrium as the time goes to infinity, by the usage of an extended Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality.

description: We address a long-standing debate over whether classical magnetic forces can do work, ultimately answering the question in the affirmative. In detail, we couple a classical particle with intrinsic spin and elementary dipole moments to the electromagnetic field, derive the appropriate generalization of the Lorentz force law, show that the particle's dipole moments must be collinear with its spin axis, and argue that the magnetic field does mechanical work on the particle's elementary magnetic dipole moment. As consistency checks, we calculate the overall system's energy-momentum and angular momentum, and show that their local conservation equations lead to the same force law and therefore the same conclusions about magnetic forces and work. We also compute the system's Belinfante-Rosenfeld energy-momentum tensor.

description: This study aims to explore the educational interventions of multinational companies in the Greek context and examine the prospects and limitations they face. Additionally, an attempt is made to highlight the influence of multinational corporations on shaping educational policy and how this is achieved through supranational and national organizations in which they participate. Initially, the various forms of intervention by multinational companies in the three levels of public education, either directly or indirectly, are examined. The conceptualization of various forms of privatization and the presence of these companies in the educational sector are presented. Then, the actions of multinational corporations in the educational affairs of Greece, their collaborations with the state and the Public Sector, the Ministry of Education, Universities, etc., are briefly analyzed. To investigate the above, the case of a multinational company based in Greece, Hellenic Petroleum S.A. or now Hellenic Energy, is selected. An analysis is conducted on the interventions of Hellenic Petroleum in Greek public education as well as its relationship with the state and the organizations through which it intervenes in shaping educational policy.
Experiência mística ou loucura? Uma distinção sociocultural?

description: Em 1989, o psicanalista indiano Sudhir Kakar, enquanto preparava um ciclo de conferências para a universidade de Chicago, ao comentar incidentalmente sobre seu trabalho a respeito do grande místico Ramakrishna, chamou a atenção da filósofa francesa Catherine Clément, ao descrever seus sintomas. O livro de Pierre Janet (De l’angoisseà l’extase) , que Catherine tinha em sua biblioteca, narrava a história da “louca” Madeleine, paciente de Janet por vinte anos, que apresentava fenômenos muito semelhantes aos do mestre indiano: êxtases, sintomas orgânicos e hábitos místicos. Havia apenas uma única diferença e que se constituía como viga mestra entre ambos:enquanto o místico vivia em Calcutá, a doente francesa foi hospitalizada durante longos anos no hospital da Salpetrière, por delírio místico. Este artigo é baseado no livro A louca e o santo e tem por objetivo demonstrar o quanto a cultura influencia no diagnóstico com base em fenômenos relacionados a estados alterados de consciência.

description: The collective excitations in ensembles of dissipative, laser driven ultracold atoms exhibit crystal-like patterns, a many-body effect of the Rydberg blockade mechanism. These crystalline structure are revealed in experiment from a post-selection of configurations with fixed numbers of excitations. Here, we show that these sub-ensemble can be well represented by ensembles of effective particles that interact via logarithmic pair potentials. This allows one to study the emergent patterns with a small number of effective particles to determine the phases of Rydberg crystals and to systematically study contributions from $N$-body terms.

description: A igreja Católica Apostólica Romana entende a vocação para a vida religiosa (como no caso de padres, freiras, irmãos consagrados) como um chamado específico somente para alguns homens e mulheres especiais. Esta vocação é fundamentada pela existênciade três votos obrigatórios: a pobreza, a obediência e a castidade. Aqueles que são chamados para esta função são compreendidos como especiais a partir de Deus. Porém, Eugen Drewermann, em sua obra Funcionários de Deus, problematiza este modelo ideal. A partir da Psicologia Profunda, ele busca entender os motivos psicológicos inconscientes que levam um jovem a buscar como opção de vida a vocação religiosa. Partindo das constatações feitas pelo autor, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar algumas questões, como os motivos que levam um jovem a buscar como ideal de vida a opção pelo sacerdócio na Igreja Católica, quais aspectos psicológicos interferem nesta escolha, como se sente quem se julga chamado, verificar o seu entendimentoa respeito dos três conselhos evangélicos e discutir as propostas feitas à Igreja Católica para que os conflitos vivenciados pelos «eleitos» sejam minimizados.

description: The Judgment of the Italian Constitutional Court no. 131 of 2022, to the analysis of which a large part of this paper is dedicated, has declared the unconstitutionality of Art. 262(1) of the Italian Civil Code, introducing two important modifications in the system of attribution of surnames to children: on the one hand, it establishes that, in the absence of agreement, the child will receive the surname of both parents, making it the general rule and thus putting an end to the automatic attribution of the paternal surname. And, in the event that the parents decide to attribute the child exclusively the surname of one of them, this may be the paternal or maternal surname, putting an end to the impossibility of the child receiving only the maternal surname. But this raises new challenges, such as the determination of the order of surnames in cases of double surnames, the possible multiplier effect of surnames in successive generations or the way in which the principle of family unity is to be guaranteed. These questions will be addressed by bringing up the solutions offered by the Spanish system, where the double surname has traditionally been the general rule, and which may therefore be useful for integrating the new Italian system of attribution of surnames.

description: Wigner's quantum-mechanical classification of particle-types in terms of irreducible representations of the Poincaré group has a classical analogue, which we extend in this paper. We study the compactness properties of the resulting phase spaces at fixed energy, and show that in order for a classical massless particle to be physically sensible, its phase space must feature a classical-particle counterpart of electromagnetic gauge invariance. By examining the connection between massless and massive particles in the massless limit, we also derive a classical-particle version of the Higgs mechanism.

Creators: name: Wright, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Spintronics presents an opportunity for the next generation of low-power electronics, overcoming the scaling and power issues faced by existing CMOS technologies. The non-local spin valve offers a relatively simple, versatile means to study spin transport in various materials (including metals, superconductors, semiconductors and 2D materials), owing primarily to its ability to isolate spin transport–related effects. Yet, many questions remain unanswered, namely identifying and characterising the spin-relaxation mechanisms present in such devices, and understanding the origin of spurious effects. This thesis aims to address these issues through systematic studies in all-metallic non-local spin valves across a selection of material pairings, temperatures and magnetic fields.

description: As small mobile devices such as mobile phones become increasingly
sophisticated, they are beginning to be used for highly securitysensitive
applications such as payment systems, stock trading, and
access control systems. The increasing importance ofmobile phones
exposes the tremendous lack of access control systems that restrict
access to the legitimate user. In fact, a lost mobile phone “delegates”
all rights to its new owner. The main challenges in designing
a secure user authentication system for small mobile devices are
the miniaturization as well as the requirement for usability across a
wide range of people.

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel mechanism for
user authentication. The cognitive process we rely on is the human
ability to recognize degraded images; degraded images are easily
recognized by legitimate users who have been being exposed to the
original picture. On the other hand, without knowledge of the original
image, it is difficult to mentally “revert” from the degraded image
to the original image, which provides a line of defense against
guessing attacks.

We implement a prototype user authentication system in Nokia
N70 cellular phones, and conduct a usability study of our scheme
with 54 participants. We find that all users manage to authenticate,
even after four weeks, which is a strong indication that the scheme
is usable by a wide range of people, even on miniaturized portable
devices.

We anticipate that this research will revitalize and encourage research
in the important topic of portable device based user authentication.

description: Today's smartphones store a variety of sensitive information and provide access to sensitive functionality. Despite an abundance of features to secure one's phone, many users leave their devices unprotected putting themselves and their organizations at risk. Over the past year, several vendors have started to ffer fingerprinting functionality in an effort to increase the number of people who protect their phones. We present the results of a study conducted to determine whether fingerprint-based authentication functionality is likely to gain greater levels of adoption that today's PIN-based solutions. Our study utilizes a task-based method in which participants complete a set of ten tasks. The study compares the usability of Apple's iPhone 5S Touch ID fingerprint-based authentication with more traditional PIN-based authentication. Our results suggest that, from a usability standpoint, fingerprint-based authentication is better than PIN-based authentication and could contribute to reduce the dismal number of people who do not have locking functionality in place to protect access to their phones.

description: In this paper, we propose a model-based design approach for developing wireless sensor-actuator networks that can map multiple sets of application-level interactions onto a single networking substrate while still enforcing individual requirements. We use a top-down design approach where the functional requirements for each application are graphically modeled using a tool called SysWeaver. Sensor networking applications add unique challenges for model-based design frameworks because the system deployment view is tightly coupled to an installation-specific network topology and link characteristics. Wireless devices can also be mobile and hence may not easily map to standard deployment views. We introduce a SysWeaver plugin called SenseWeaver that is able to capture live toplogy data from an instrumentation deployment and feed the topology and link characteristic information to the system model. A developer can then use SenseWeaver specify the functional requirements of multiple applications, analyze communication and task scheduling requirements based on actual topology data, and automatically generate customized code for each sensor network node.

description: Based on a brief analysis of the Italian Constitutional Court decision 131/2022, of April 27, this paper aims to explain the Spanish civil law reforms that have been carried out to eliminate discrimination against women in determining the order of children's surnames. It is shown that the abandonment of the rule of precedence of the paternal surname has occurred not only because of the application of the principle of equality between parents, but also because of the consideration of the minor’s best interest principle as a criterion to determine the order when parents do not agree before registration.

description: Networks are complex systems that unfortunately are ridden with errors. Such errors can lead to disruption of services, which may have grave consequences. Verification of networks is key to eliminating errors and building robust networks. In this paper, we propose an approach to verify networks using declarative networking, where networks are specified in NDlog, a declarative language.We focus on analyzing safety properties. We develop a technique to statically analyze NDlog programs: first, we build a dependency graph of the predicates of NDlog programs; then, we build a summary data structure called a derivation pool to represent all possible derivations and their associated constraints for predicates in the program; finally, properties specified in first-order logic are checked on the data structure with the help of the SMT solver Z3. We build a prototype tool and demonstrate the effectiveness of the tool in validating and debugging several SDN applications.
“It’s all about opportunity”: From professional contract to first-team regular

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the junior to senior transition from professional contract to an established first-team player in an English men’s professional football team. Six players were purposively sampled across four suggested phases of transition: preparation; orientation; adaptation; and stabilization. A series of three interviews explored their past and current experiences, as well as their future ambitions. Eight higher-order themes were developed using thematic analysis: performance culture; opportunity; organizational strategy; contracts; relationships; motivation; power dynamics; and dual career. Several general adaptation factors found in previous research were present, along with four unique findings. The current study sets the opportunity to play within the first team as the primary factor in career progression. Without the opportunity, a “gray period” develops when a player is in an undefined phase without specific goals. This complex transition is further complicated by the short-term nature of contracts, which influences motivation and the ability to see the big picture. Throughout the transition, receiving support from key stakeholders was challenged by their role as gatekeepers of playing time and future contracts. Organizations should seek to manage transitions through a hands-on approach, providing the necessary support throughout the gray period, while being aware of the limitations of support from those with power over opportunity. Future research should look to explore the suggested gray period and the challenges that develop without continual opportunity. Lay summary: Professional football players at different stages in their career discussed the challenges experienced in their journey to becoming a regular first-team player. Those players that were not getting the opportunity to play felt isolated and unable to discuss their concerns. Implications for football clubs managing this transition are discussed.IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICEProviding opportunity in the senior team while managing players with no opportunityAvailability and awareness of support systems outside of decision-makers Providing opportunity in the senior team while managing players with no opportunity Availability and awareness of support systems outside of decision-makers
Sintaxe de polaridade nas experiências humana, religiosa e mística: coplas da cópula do divino-humano

description: A experiência humana, irrepetível no seu acontecimento e enquanto condição de ser humano, encerra em si, a singularidade, a subjetividade e a memória de quem a vivencia. encerra, igualmente, a liberdade dela se falar e a possibilidade da pessoa ser mais e melhor. A experiência religiosa e espiritual insere-se nesta experiência humana, onde a pessoa humana faz a experiência de relação com o absolutamente Outro. Uma relação que permite a experiência singular da interioridade e da afetividade. Por seu turno, a experiência mística, nomeadamente a cristã, nasce do eixo matricial revelação-fé. Ela vive do Credo na Trindade, da centralidade cristológica, da comunhão eclesiológica e da práxis na temporalidade da Fé, esperança e Caridade. Mais ainda, habita na vivência amorosa e erotizada da união com o Divino.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια η διερεύνηση της ΔΕΠ-Υ και των προβλημάτων που προκύπτουν εξαιτίας της διαταραχής, ιδιαίτερα στο σχολικό και το οικογενειακό περιβάλλον, εμφανίζεται σε μεγάλο αριθμό ερευνών. Ωστόσο μετά από σχετική επισκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας παρατηρείται έλλειψη σε σχέση με τη διερεύνηση των απόψεων, των αντιλήψεων και των γνώσεων των εκπαιδευτικών και των γονέων γύρω από το συγκεκριμένο θέμα. Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης μελέτης είναι να παρουσιάσει τις αντιλήψεις των εκπαιδευτικών γύρω από τις επιπτώσεις της διαταραχής, τις στρατηγικές που χρησιμοποιούν οι εκπαιδευτικοί για να αντιμετωπίσουν τη διαταραχή καθώς και τις αντιλήψεις των γονέων. Παρά το γεγονός ότι οι εκπαιδευτικοί έρχονται συχνότερα σε επαφή με περιστατικά ΔΕΠ-Υ, εμφανίζουν αρνητικές αντιλήψεις σχετικά με τις ικανότητες των μαθητών που παρουσιάζουν την διαταραχή, ελαφρά πιο θετικές από αυτές του γενικού πληθυσμού, εκτός εάν έχουν λάβει ειδική εκπαίδευση και επιμόρφωση στον τομέα. Η επιμόρφωση των γονέων και των εκπαιδευτικών είναι απαραίτητη προκειμένου να αποφεύγονται φαινόμενα στιγματισμού των μαθητών που παρουσιάζουν την συγκεκριμένη διαταραχή.

description: Este artigo é o resultado de uma primeira etapa da pesquisa sobre a história dos livros didáticos do ensino religioso no brasil, pesquisa essa qualitativa, documental financiada pela Fundação Araucária do Paraná, que reflete sobre a compreensão da diversidade por meio de uma educação, que pretende permitir o reconhecimento da pluralidade da sociedade, além de favorecer uma experiência do diálogo entre leituras diferenciadas. Um destes campos é o das questões religiosas, cuja compreensão pode colaborar no resgate da identidade cultural deste país. Estes caminhos plurais é operacionalizado, por exemplo, pelo currículo escolar, materializado em cada disciplina, ministrado na escolarização, em especial por meio dos textos didáticos. Especificamente o ensino religioso, por meio de sua estrutura curricular pode contribuir para implantar esta nova perspectiva de diversidade, cujo resultado de pesquisa foi a localização de três coleções produzidas no período de 1997 a 2014 que já permitem aferir isso desta nova proposta, retomando inclusive aspectos como a espiritualidade.
