A atuação profissional no campo do lazer: reflexões sobre aspectos éticos

Esse estudo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a atuação profissional no âmbito da lazer, abordando a intervenção sob ponto de vista da ética. Partimos da premissa que os valores e relações estabelecidos na sociedade moderna, lócus das práticas de lazer, interferem na interpretação e organização de modos de vida. Aproximando a ação do profissional de Educação Física com o campo do lazer, apontamos para uma atuação influenciada pela conduta ética e política na direção da mediação. Considerando as reflexões sobre ética e atuação profissional, podemos inferir que a área de Educação Física se consolida por exercer o papel social significativo aos processos educativos do lazer. A atuação profissional no lazer possibilita através da mediação na prática a educação para novos olhares e sensibilidades necessários à construção de uma sociedade igualitária e democrática.

Electrically tunable resonant scattering in fluorinated bilayer graphene

Adatom-decorated graphene offers a promising new path towards spintronics in the ultrathin limit. We combine experiment and theory to investigate the electronic properties of dilutely fluorinated bilayer graphene, where the fluorine adatoms covalently bond to the top graphene layer. We show that fluorine adatoms give rise to resonant impurity states near the charge neutrality point of the bilayer, leading to strong scattering of charge carriers and hopping conduction inside a field-induced band gap. Remarkably, the application of an electric field across the layers is shown to tune the resonant scattering amplitude from fluorine adatoms by nearly twofold. The experimental observations are well explained by a theoretical analysis combining Boltzmann transport equations and fully quantum-mechanical methods. This paradigm can be generalized to many bilayer graphene-adatom materials, and we envision that the realization of electrically tunable resonance may be a key advantage in graphene-based spintronic devices.

Cultural circuits of climate change in U.K. broadsheet newspapers, 1985–2003

This article argues for a cultural perspective to be brought to bear on studies of climate change risk perception. Developing the “circuit of culture” model, the article maintains that the producers and consumers of media texts are jointly engaged in dynamic, meaning-making activities that are context-specific and that change over time. A critical discourse analysis of climate change based on a database of newspaper reports from three U.K. broadsheet papers over the period 1985–2003 is presented. This empirical study identifies three distinct circuits of climate change—1985–1990, 1991–1996, 1997–2003—which are characterized by different framings of risks associated with climate change. The article concludes that there is evidence of social learning as actors build on their experiences in relation to climate change science and policy making. Two important factors in shaping the U.K.’s broadsheet newspapers’ discourse on “dangerous” climate change emerge as the agency of top political figures and the dominant ideological standpoints in different newspapers.
