A magia em um texto técnico agronômico da antiguidade romana: o 'Opus agriculturae', de Paládio

This work analyses the chapter 35, book I, of the agricultural treatise Opus agriculturæ, written by Rutilius Taurus Aemilianus Palladius (V C.E.). In that chapter the author presents some recipes, called remedia, to protect the farm and the garden against weeds and weather phenomena, as blight and fogs. The magical practices are identified according to both the fundamental principles of magic (similarity, contiguity, contrariety), which rule magical thought, and some elements of magical symbology. As the author seems not to distinguish magic and science, for he brings together both kinds of recipes, the analysis of some remedia emphasizes a specific study on the materials and substances employed in those recipes and their value in Science today. This leads to the discussions of how magical thought works, what are the limits (if they actually exist) between Magic and Science and between Magic and Religion. This work covers the subjects above and it has the following pourposes: demonstrate the characteristics that authorize the remedia described by Palladius to be classified as folk magic; identify the relations between this kind of practice with more complex forms of magic, as with religion, with science; demonstrate the contribution of the folk magic in ancient Rome farming for the formulation of more apropriated criteria of evaluating magic in comparison to religious and scientific thought.

Aplicação do conceito de geração distribuída a um sistema fotovoltaico residencial

This work presents a study about distributed generation using photovoltaic systems in the context of smart grids. The characteristics of a Smart Grid and the several aspects this concept involves - distributed generation among them - are discussed. There are also examples of equipment, like smart meters, and of national and international projects. The specificities of distributed generation and the rules and standards necessary in this sort of installation are talked through with focus in the solar energy generation method. Regarding photovoltaic systems, the working principles of the panels are presented, along with its main electrical characteristics and the technologies available. Finally there is a study concerning the sizing of a distributed generation system that involves photovoltaic panels in a residential plant. An analysis of the costs and return of investment period is made about the specific case in consideration.

Ensino do conceito de radioatividade utilizando a biografia de Marie Curie

Como objetivo de pesquisa esta monografia buscou coletar dados descritivos que permitissem esclarecer as possibilidades educativas para o ensino de química em uma abordagem contextual utilizando história e filosofia da química e da ciência. Esta monografia trata de uma intervenção feita dentro do cronograma de aulas de uma escola pública de Bauru, em que se buscou levar informações que possibilitassem uma abertura na perspectiva de vida de alunos que estudam e/ou vivem em meio a violência social e doméstica. A intervenção consistiu no estudo da história da descoberta da radioatividade, ensinada através da biografia de Marie Curie, a mulher que denominou o fenômeno dos raios invisíveis de radioatividade, em sua tese de doutorado. Ela também descobriu, por meio da mesma pesquisa que fundamentou a referida tese, dois elementos radioativos, o polônio e o rádio. Para o planejamento da pesquisa e a análise dos dados se utilizou a metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa, com enfoque na pesquisa-ação e técnicas de análise de conteúdo. Para a aplicação dessa aula foi elaborada uma atividade envolvendo história da química e das ciências naturais dentro de uma atividade de leitura. Utilizou-se o livro GÊNIO OBSESSIVO: O MUNDO INTERIOR DE MARIE CURIE de Bárbara Goldsmith como base para os textos utilizados em aula. Foi utilizado o livro MARIE CURIE E A BUSCA PELO RÁDIO de Beverly Birch, como fonte de ilustrações. Essas ilustrações, assim como outras imagens extraídas da internet, foram utilizadas para relacionar os fatos ocorridos durante a pesquisa de Marie, realizada com o auxílio do marido Pierre Curie, que era professor e pesquisador em física e trabalhava com fenômenos relacionados a piezeletricidade, entre outros fenômenos eletromagnéticos. A aula consistiu na aplicação de um questionário inicial para averiguar as idéias prévias que os alunos apresentavam sobre a radioatividade e o contexto...

Economia da educação, inovação tecnológica e o conceito de capital humano

The paper shows the basic economic theories that support the rationality behind the financial and technological dominance in present social relations, and try to demonstrate the paradoxes and contradictions of the theoretical system, having as background elements from the Frankfurt School. From the field of theoretical economics of education, authors discuss the concept of human capital with its economical dimensions, presenting their affinities and disparities with Keynesians, neoclassical economics and the evolutionary economics of Schumpeter.

A indeterminação da linguagem e o conceito de atividade no ensino de língua materna

La théorie des opérations prédicatives et énonciatives de A. Culioli ne porte pas en elle une conception prête à l’emploi de l’enseignement des langues. Ce texte se propose de faire le pont entre cette théorie et les questions d’enseignement. Il construit surtout une réflexion sur les concepts d’activité ou de pratique au sein de l’enseignement des langues maternelles en se basant sur l’activité épilinguistique. Nous souhaitons, en outre, mettre en débat la division qui existe dans l’enseignement des langues entre activité physique et activité mentale.

Uma abordagem comparativa da ironia: conceito, tropo e performance

We pursue in this paper an understanding of irony which is shared by both the German author Friedrich Schlegel and the critic Paul de Man. Irony is rather understood as a trope and as a performative act than as a concept, which has indeed consequences to the very legibility of texts.

Uma avaliação do conceito de regência e transitividade na tradição gramatical do português

In this paper, we study patterns of complementation as well as transitivity in Portuguese grammatical tradition aiming at verifying the motor of interest toward these subjects as well as eventual historic changes in the direction of the treatment they have been given. We analyze the concepts, the relations and the grounding notions in this camp, as well as the (in)transitive property of verbs in correlation with the status of their complements. Historically documented normative determinations of the notion of complementation and the modern reactions to such a view are relevant to our examination. Our conclusion moves toward a socio‑historic conditioning of traditional lessons, acknowledging, however, the natural existence of theoretical directions in the proposals.

Conceito amplo de sexualidade no processo de educação sexual

This paper discusses the concept of sexuality from a social and historical understanding. The broad concept of sexuality that goes beyond the genital is based on a vision that understands the body and the sexuality as representations that are constructed by social discourses. It also seeks to reflect on the process of sex education must be understood in its ethical-political dimension to assure everyone a space for formation of attitudes, not to work information on sexuality issues.

A trajetória política e histórico-normativa do ensino técnico da área de agropecuária no Estado de São Paulo: a história política de transição por decretos de 1882 a 2001

This article presents the historical trajectory of agricultural technical education in the State of São Paulo, 1882-2001, with emphasis on regulatory and policy aspects of transition management agencies and disruption in the construction and consolidation of a pedagogical and curricular design of this area of teaching technical and institutional policies of these technical schools. Thus focuses on the major changes in the political-normative and pedagogical and organizational character that shaped the construction of its especificidade.Isto because it is necessary to know the history of technical education 'agricultural' (agricultural area) in order to support the analysis of its configuration current and devise new prospects for your gestão.O Paulista agricultural education was subject to constant political uncertainties as to its principles and fins.As several transfers and reallocations it has undergone through different State Secretariats, reveal political barriers regarding its management and the difficulty of situating it in an appropriate and befitting their purposes locus.

Os limites e as possibilidades de uma sequência didática: o conceito de proporcionalidade e a aprendizagem de alunos do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental

This study aimed to analyze the limits and possibilities of a didactic sequence, addressing the concept of proportionality in the learning of students in 5th year of elementary school. From the results of the Diagnostic Assessment Initial applied to students in a class of 5th grade of elementary school, we selected eight (8) students who participated in the constituent activities of that instructional sequence. For the development of this sequence were used theoretical elements of Genetic Epistemology (Piaget, 1990), the theory of fields of Conceptual Vergnaud (1996) and the definition of instructional sequence proposed by Zabala (1998). Finally, after 20 days of application of these activities, we applied the Diagnostic Assessment Final aimed at investigating which concepts related to proportionality were built by the participating students. By analyzing the collected data, it can be concluded the following about the possibilities of teaching sequence: 1) students who, in Diagnostica Home Assessment used the multiplication algorithm, but also did not indicate the comparison between quantities are now performing; 2) students who, in the Diagnostic Assessment Initial, used the addition algorithm, now gradually are using the multiplication algorithm; 3)students who, in the Diagnostic Assessment Initial, could not solve problems involving the idea of proportionality, are now resolving, however, still use, in large part, the addition operation as a strategy for this proportional thinking. Now, in relation to the limits of the sequence noted: 1)time sufficient to propose a higher number of problem conditions to be carried by students who may have been a trigger of construction have not through the proportional multiplication;2)the distant proposition situations of assimilation schemes (interpretation) of the students, which may have caused certain imbalance in them, preventing them from thinking about the problem situation;3)the rapid passage of...
