title: DETERMINANT FACTORS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT’S DROPOUT IN AN ACCOUNTING STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF A BRAZILIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY

description: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article was to identify explanatory factors for undergraduate student’s dropout from the Accounting program of a Brazilian public university. The theoretical platform that guided the study was formulated using three evasion models related to higher education. The survey database consisted of socioeconomic and demographic information of 371 students. The research used quantitative and qualitative methodologies to reach the proposed goal. Quantitative data analysis was performed through logistic regression. The model proposed by the study was able to accurately predict 77% of the cases of dropout/completion from the sample. The qualitative step was based on five semi-structured interviews with those in the sample who dropped out of their studies. The findings of the research have helped understand the phenomenon of undergraduate student dropout from the Accounting program and stresses the importance of rethinking public policies for the retention of talent and, especially, of those students who depend on their work to maintain their studies.

title: Mathematics, Culture, and Teaching Practice: an analysis of beliefs and sociocultural choices

description: Abstract Guided by the sociocultural research field in mathematics didactics, this study investigates the beliefs of a group of math teachers regarding mathematics’ teaching and learning, in the province of Ñuble in the eighth region of Chile. Employing a questionnaire entitled ‘Math scale, culture, and learning’ containing a Likert scale created for this study and semi-structured interviews, the beliefs of 162 teachers are described and analyzed, and the teachers’ reflections are explored regarding their beliefs about mathematics, culture, and their teaching practice. The results show the high value assigned to the social knowledge related to mathematics, the contextualization of mathematics and the underlying relationship between mathematics and culture as fundamental motivations in the teaching and learning processes. The study raises the need to promote critical thinking about those mathematics sociocultural beliefs that shape teaching practice.

title: The genus Gomphonema (Bacillariophyta) in the periphytic community of the Curuá-Una river and reservoir (Santarém, Pará, Brazil)

description: Abstract The Gomphonema genus is well represented in terms of richness and abundance in periphytic communities in freshwater environments. This study aimed to know the composition and richness of the Gomphonema genus attached to aquatic macrophytes in the littoral zone of the Curuá-Una river and reservoir. Samplings were performed in November/2011 (dry period) and July/2013 (rainy period). For the morphological and morphometric analysis of the diatoms the samples were oxidized and prepared in permanent slides. The material was studied under optical and scanning electron microscopy. As results we registered 13 specific and infraspecific Gomphonema taxa. The most representative in the two hydrological periods were: G. parvulum var. lagenula, G. pantropicum, and G. naviculoides, the first are widely cited in Brazilian flora, and the last considered first record to Brazil and Pará.

title: BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT: CONTRASTS IN ACCESS TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE FEDERAL DISTRICT

description: ABSTRACT: The foundation of Brasilia occurred in the midst of utopias, especially that to overcome the Brazilian urban centers’ social problems. One of the strategies proposed by Anísio Teixeira was the presentation of an innovative educational project, based on unrestricted access to public education from pre-school to university. Contrasting the past and present, we sought to highlight aspects of inequalities in the new capital with a focus on Early Childhood Education, analyzing two moments in time: 1) events documented in the first years after the inauguration of the capital; and 2) contemporary data about income and access to Early Childhood education. We demonstrate that the social exclusion that characterizes the capital goes back to its inauguration and persists beyond the geographical divisions between the Pilot Plan and the other Administrative Regions of the Federal District. Inequality is also observed in the educational system, especially in Early Childhood Education.

title: Myrtaceae in Serra Geral of Licínio de Almeida, Bahia, Brazil

description: Abstract Myrtaceae is represented by 23 genera and 974 species in Brazil, and it is one of the most representative families in the Espinhaço Range. The Serra Geral is one of the mountain ranges that make up Northern Espinhaço and represents a floristic gap in the region. Thus, the main purpose of this work was to produce a floristic inventory and taxonomic study for Myrtaceae in Serra Geral of Licínio de Almeida, Bahia. Nine field trips were carried out between 2012 and 2015, and the collected specimens were processed and housed in ALCB and HUEFS herbaria. Eight genera and 43 species of Myrtaceae were found, amongst which Psidium proved the most diverse genus (14 spp.), followed by Eugenia (10 spp.), Myrcia (8 spp.), Myrciaria (5 spp.) and Campomanesia (3 spp.). Blepharocalyx, Calyptranthes and Plinia are represented by a single species each. Psidium rhombeum and Psidium ganevii are endemic species to Bahia, while Calyptranthes clusiifolia is a new occurrence in the state. This study presents a specific identification key, descriptions and comments, as well as photos and diagnostic illustrations, for each species.

title: The Constitution of Collaborative Learning Environments in Continuing Education Actions: experimental approach with GeoGebra

description: Abstract The aim of this article is to discuss two actions of continuing education, and how they constituted themselves in collaborative learning environments. These actions focused on the accomplishment of experimental activities with the GeoGebra software, in which researchers and teachers of Basic Education Mathematics participated. In addition, some empirical data are presented and discussed here, in order to elucidate the discussions about two of these activities. These actions of continuing education compose the research scenario of a qualitative doctoral research that is under development, linked to a thematic project of large scale that has been carried out within the Research Group in Informatics, Other Media and Mathematics Education (GPIMEM). One of the actions happened in the city of Bauru/SP, and the other in the city of Coimbra, Portugal. The activities addressed in these actions, as well as those developed in the group’s other research projects, generally have a theoretical-methodological approach of an experimental nature. It is concluded that teachers, while performing such activities and opining about other mathematical contents that could have been contemplated in them, studied the software functionalities, criticizing the proposed approaches, culminating in suggestions of adaptations, making them viable to be applied in their respective classrooms. Finally, it is evident that participation in such actions enabled them to glimpse ways to create collaborative learning environments in their respective work contexts.

title: FIRST-YEAR STUDENT PROFILE IN THE “BACHELOR’S DEGREE WITH A TEACHING CREDENTIAL IN NURSING” PROGRAM AT A BRAZILIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY

description: ABSTRACT: This study is conducted within the context of increased admissions at public universities. The study’s objective is to describe and analyze, through exploratory/descriptive research, the profile of first-year students from 2006 to 2015 of the “Bachelor’s Degree with a Teaching Credential in Nursing” program at the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing. A questionnaire was applied as the means of data collection, which obtained personal identification data as well as professional, educational, and cultural data. Participants were first-year students in the aforementioned program, from the program’s founding class of students in 2006 through the entering class of 2015. From the data analysis, we observed substantial changes in the first-year student profile, especially with regard to age, previous education, and employment status. Knowing these changes is important for implementation of the political-pedagogical proposal of the program.

title: The Dynamism of a Written Test in Phases: a study with students of Differential and Integral Calculus

description: Abstract In this article, anchored in an assessment of learning as a research practice and learning opportunity, we present a discussion about the "behavior" of the assessment instrument written in phases (stage test) evidenced in a research. The research is of a qualitative nature with an interpretative character, in which the subjects were the teacher and 48 students enrolled in the discipline of Differential and Integral Calculus - CDI of a federal university in Paraná and carried out a written test in 10 phases. In this discussion, we will try to evidence the written test in phases as a teaching, learning, and evaluation resource; Recognizing its dynamic aspect as it presents itself in a new way at each stage; As a medium that favors the teacher and student to communicate in an individualized way, even if the arguments are constructed in the collective (in-class discussions, discussion among students).

title: Simple does not mean poor: grasslands and forests harbor similar ant species richness and distinct composition in highlands of southern Brazil

description: Abstract: Several studies addressed ant communities in the dense Atlantic Forest that runs along the Brazilian coast. However, comparatively little is known about the mixed forests and grasslands that occur in the southern range of the Atlantic Forest domain. In this study we performed the first standardized assessment of ants in the forest-grassland mosaic found in the highlands of the state of Santa Catarina. We aimed to investigate and compare ant richness and composition between mixed forests and grasslands in the main mountain range of south Brazil. Ants were collected in two years with ground pitfalls, tree pitfalls and litter samples. Sixty ant species were recorded, resulting in 22 new records for "Planalto Serrano" region and three for the state of Santa Catarina: Eurhopalothrix depressa, Pheidole radoszkowskii and Wasmannia williamsoni. There was significant dissimilarity in ant species composition between grasslands and forests, but no difference in ant species richness, even considering the higher number of strata in mixed forests. Similar richness and low number of arboreal species suggest that this ant community is structured similarly to temperate ones. Both habitats presented a large proportion of exclusive species. The fact that species composition between grassland and forest areas differed, coupled with the similarity in species richness between habitats and the record of new ant species for the region, calls for strong conservation efforts in grasslands of southern Brazil, which still are little protected by conservation areas.

title: Heart Injury with Projectile Lodged Inside the Heart

description: Abstract Penetrating heart injuries present high mortality rates. Increasing rates of urban violence have contributed to a significant rise in the number of heart injuries by firearm projectiles. Such injuries are associated with the highest mortality rates among penetrating cardiac injuries and may involve one or more cardiac chambers. We present the case of a police officer who, in an approach to five robbers, suffered a transfixed cardiac injury by firearm with the projectile having been lodged inside the right ventricle. This patient was successfully operated, 65 days after the injury, at our institution.

title: Maternal smoking during pregnancy and early development of overweight and growth deficit in children: an analysis of survival

description: Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the association between smoking during pregnancy and nutritional status. Methods: cohort study with a sample of 460 children in the baseline. The children were assessed four times, being measured for weight and length to be converted in indexes length forage (L/A) and body mass index forage (BMI/A) in Z-score. The time until occurrence of growth deficit and overweight was calculated in days and compared to maternal smoking during pregnancy. To assess the association between smoking during pregnancy and the outcomes, a Hazard Ratio by Cox regression was obtained, adjusting by confounding variables selected from Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG). Results: the time until occurrence of growth deficit and overweight was lower in children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy was a risk factor for length deficit (HR = 2.84; CI95% = 1.42 to 5.70) and for overweight (HR = 1.96; CI95% = 1, 09 to 3.53), even after the adjustment. Conclusions: maternal smoking was a changeable factor associated with anthropometric outcomes, which demonstrates the need for actions to combat smoking during pregnancy in order to prevent early nutritional deviations.
