title: Sectoral deindustrialization and long-run stagnation of Brazilian manufacturing

description: ABSTRACT In Brazil and elsewhere in the world, diagnoses of deindustrialization are concentrated in aggregate manufacturing, so policies can be ineffective if deindustrialization has a sector-specific component. This study quantifies and analyses deindustrialization for the individualised manufacturing sub-sectors. To do this, unpublished series of the manufacturing sub-sectors’ share in the Brazilian GDP from 1970 to 2016 were created, based on official IBGE data. The results show that the manufacturing sub-sectors have deindustrialised at different intensities and periods of aggregate manufacturing, and a sub-sectoral approach reveals traces ignored by the literature on the quality of deindustrialization. We conclude that the Brazilian deindustrialization is normal (and expected) for the labour-intensive manufacturing sub-sectors, but premature (and undesirable) for the technology-intensive sub-sectors. Therefore, Brazilian deindustrialization has negative consequences for the country’s future scientific and technological development.

title: Semiotic Representations of Multiplication and Division in Elementary School Textbooks

description: Abstract In this report, we present a proposal to explore the meanings related to multiplication and division that are built in Elementary School mathematics textbooks. We carried out a multimodal analysis of the tasks focused on multiplication and division in two textbooks widely distributed in Spain. This analysis allows us to develop a characterisation of the introduction of multiplicative thinking in textbooks based on the potential meanings of multiplication and division derived from the use and coexistence of the different types of symbolic, graphic, and verbal representations that are presented and demanded in the tasks. The results point to a dominance of symbolic representations and a low use of verbal representations in the multiplication and division tasks of the two textbooks analysed.

title: Puerperal women’s knowledge on newborn’s body hygiene

description: Abstract Objectives: to identify puerperal women’s knowledge attending the housing unit at a teaching hospital about newborn body hygiene after receiving routine guidance from the nursing team. Methods: cross-sectional study, carried out with 207 puerperal women from a teaching hospital in the Minas Gerais State between December 2018 and May 2019. For data collection, an instrument was built and validated following three phases and descriptive statistics and linear correlation were used of Spearman’s, with a confidence level of 95% for knowledge analysis. Results: 207 puerperal women participated in the study, with a mean age of 27 ± 6.3 years. Inadequate knowledge was observed, mainly regarding the sequence of cleaning the face and scalp, adequate products and hygiene of the nose, ear and mouth. The domain “before the bath” presented the highest average percentage of correct questions (94.0%±10.1), including care with the environment, temperature and intimate hygiene. Conclusion: the identification of inadequate knowledge about the newborn’s body hygiene raises the need for constant and more effective guidelines, with the use of active methodologies starting in prenatal care.

title: Institutionalism and its relations with developmentalism: past, present and future

description: ABSTRACT This research theoretically analyzes the role of institutions for organizational development based on developmental and institutional theory, emerging relevant questions, such as: What were the conceptual frameworks of institutional development? How did the institutions participate in the economic evolution? How does institutional development take place in Latin America? What is the developmental model for the future? However, it does not intend to defend political, social and/or economic ideologies, but to debate constructive issues for sustainable development. In this respect, the research reveals that passive policies of market operation and segmented public investment programs are not enough, but a strategic and cooperative action between Industry-Government-University in favor of sustainable development.

title: Green economy and green jobs: a multisectoral analysis by means of Spain’s social accounting matrix

description: ABSTRACT During the last decades the green economy has been proposed from different international organizations as an economic model for the 21st century that gravitates around respecting the environment. This paper tries to identify, with criteria of economic efficiency (high economic impact) and social efficiency (high impact on job creation, green jobs), the “potentially green sectors” that can be stimulated by a national strategy to develop a green economy in Spain. For this, we will use the Social Accounting Matrix of Spain 2010, identifying, by means of the normalized absorption and diffusion coefficients and by means of employment multipliers, the key, drivers and with greater capacity for job creation sectors from a group of ten sectors that we have identified as “potentially green sectors”.

title: Mexico: the Great Depression and the Coronacrisis, 1929 and 2020

description: ABSTRACT By contrasting the Great Depression and the Coronacrisis, we demonstrate that narrative economics (Shiller, 2017) is key in the analysis of economic fluctuations. We note the importance of the populist narrative to understand the economic and health outcomes of the Coronacrisis in Mexico and highlight the role of the predominance of different economic paradigms in economic policy decision-making. We suggest that, just as in 1929, by following orthodox primary fiscal balance sheet policies at the cost of contracting government investment, the Mexican economy will undergo a long and painful recovery process compared to its global peers.

title: An interpretation of the Brazilian economy from the profit rate: 1950-2020

description: Abstract The paper investigates the path of the profit rate and its components in Brazil between 1950 and 2020. The high growth in developmentalism, 1950-1980, in contrast to the great stagnation in neoliberalism, 1980-2020, is interpreted based on the rate of profit and its components: the profit share, the productivity of capital and the level of capacity utilization. The fall in the rate of profit due to the decline in capital productivity resulted in a slowdown in the rate of capital accumulation and economic growth. In the 1980-2020 period there was a structural break in the relationship between productive investment and profits with the adoption of neoliberalism, the same profit rate resulted in lower capital accumulation. The great stagnation is explained by the fall in the profit rate and the adoption of neoliberalism.

title: Translating statistical information given in other registers into the tabular register: a study with prospective teachers of the first school years

description: Abstract This article deals with the problem of translating statistical information given in other registers into the tabular register, from the following two objectives: 1) to study the performance of prospective teachers in translating information given in the other registers into the tabular register; and 2) to compare the performance of future teachers in the different translations. The study included 30 students, future teachers of the first school years, who were attending the 1st or 2nd year of the Degree in Basic Education, at a Higher Education School in the north of Portugal. The data of the present study were obtained through the answers given by the students to four questions, which required the translation of statistical information given in the graphic, numeric-verbal and simple data list register into the tabular register. In terms of results, it is noteworthy that students were more successful in building the simple frequency tables than in building the two two-way tables and the data table grouped into class intervals, the latter being the one that proved to be the most difficult. These results, related to the translation of different registers into the tabular register, are the main contribution of the study and imply that the prospective teachers must deepen their skills of tabular representation.

title: Mathematical thinking through gestures and screen taps in the Multibase application on tablets

description: Abstract The integration of tablets in the school environment can provide new ways of doing mathematics, as they allow students to deal with something that can be considered an expansion of their bodies. This relationship is treated in this article within the scope of embodied cognition, which presupposes the brain and the rest of the body as jointly responsible for the physiological operations called mind. This research aimed to analyze contributions of epistemic movements to the development of arithmetic thinking by a 2nd year elementary school student, when developing mathematical tasks inserted in the additive realm using the Multibase application. The analysis is anchored in the identification, illustration and purpose of gestures and taps on the touchscreen, considering the characteristic forms that can help to act epistemically. For data production, we used filmed records, screen recordings from Multibase, and records made by the students. As a result, types of touches on the screen were mapped and illustrated, and some epistemic actions were identified during interactions with Multibase that, consciously (or not), led the student to organize their thinking and build increasingly understandable reasoning strategies, with more autonomy and reflection.

title: Teachers in action: (re)signifying teaching through Mathematical Modelling

description: Abstract This paper aims to present results of a research in which we evidence how teachers in continuing education (re)signify the way they teach based on the implementation of a mathematical modelling activity. Subsidized in the characterizations of mathematical modelling as content and as a vehicle, we focused on the practices developed by a group of ten teachers who teach Mathematics and who, in 2019, were taking a course in Mathematical Modelling in the context of a Professional Master’s Degree in Mathematics Teaching. The analysis of responses to a questionnaire and reports written by teachers describing the practice developed was inspired by the Grounded Theory. The analysis resulted in two categories that revealed the way teachers teach through mathematical modelling, leading to a (re)signification of their teaching practices: teaching practice different from the usual ones, which implied in the teacher’s role of guiding students through the activity development; and practice that strive for the engagement of students, in terms of the possibilities offered by the mathematical approach to extra-mathematical situations.

title: Identifying racial discrimination by the performance differential of High School students

description: ABSTRACT Brazil is characterized by high inequality where initial conditions have a decisive impact on the trajectory of individuals. In this context, black people are doubly disadvantaged by their lower income levels and low expectations for development of their potential. This article used the method of Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) to decompose the performance difference between white and black students in SAEB 2017, identifying the part that can not be attributed to its characteristics. The results showed that this component represents about 43% of this difference, and that there is less response from black students to improvements in educational conditions.
