Ensino médio e ensino superior em São Paulo: notas críticas sobre o Pimesp

This article discusses the relationships between the educational levels in São Paulo, focusing in some aspects such as the integration process (higher and basic education) and the access to the public higher education institutions. Starting on analyses of those relations in the context of the educational policy of the last decades, we question the eicacy of the recent proposition named Pimesp (Program of inclusion with merit in the public higher education of São Paulo) to transform the great structural lines of these access mechanisms and integration. It is supported that programs like this, in one hand, are not new and, in the other hand, they reinforce some tendencies which are already in progress in the policies to the Brazilian higher education since 1990s. Besides that, they are not able to improve the efective conditions of the secondary public education. In the inal part we state that to face these conditions of access and the possibility of a greater integration between the levels of teaching is necessary a set of systemic educational policies, with massive public investments, long term planning, among other things that are not on the horizons of Pimesp.

Construções euclidianas e o desfecho de problemas famosos da geometria

Construction techniques with ruler and the compasses, fundamental on Euclidean geometry, have been related to modern algebraic theories such as solving equations and extension of bodies from the works by Paolo Ruffini (1765-1822), Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829) and Evariste Galois (1811-1832). This relation could provide an answer to some famous problems, from ancient Greece, such as doubling the cube, the trisection Angle, the Quadrature of the Circle and the construction of regular polygons, which remained unsolved for over two thousand years. Also important for our purposes are the notions of algebraic numbers, transcendental and the criteria for constructability, of those numbers. The objective of this study is to reconstruct relevant steps of geometric constructions with ruler (unmarked) and the compasses, from the elementary to the outcome buildings, in the nineteenth century, considering those mentioned problems.

Retratos de mulheres na literatura brasileira do século XIX

The aim of this article is to broaden our understanding of education and the concept of womanhood in the Brazilian society of the 19th century. On the basis of the analysis of a number of novels typical of the period it is concluded that novels had or intended to have a pedagogical function among the educated elite in the education of women. In this way, literature constituted an expression of a dominant and socially determined conception of womanhood and a pedagogical instrument that imposed social values.

Condutas de risco em jovens mulheres: álcool e sexo não seguro, temas necessários na formação de professores

The youth has been calling attention due to the large number of social problems resulting from the risky behaviors. One of the behaviors that stand out is the use of alcohol because, besides being the first drug to be used by children and adolescents, this population begins to use increasingly early. Another behavior that is becoming concern in that particular group, also with early start, is the unprotected sex, causing problems as the unplanned pregnancy, abortions and sexually transmitted diseases. However, one factor is becoming relevant and requiring further study, the number of young women developing sexually transmitted diseases and becoming risk drinkers. In this direction, this study has as objective to discuss the high number of alcohol use among young women, the vulnerability that this use causes for the unprotected sex and the importance of these subjects teachers training. It should be noted, finally, the lack of training of teachers to work with the thematic ones, and mainly, the need to deconstruct gender stereotypes, an obstacle in preventing the use of alcohol, other drugs and sexually transmitted diseases.

Experiências Comparadas na Educação do Campo entre Brasil e Cuba e as Possibilidades de Formação Omnilateral na América Latina

This text aims to present the challenges and opportunities of omnilateral formation in Latin America as elaborated in Villela (2009-2010). This work has the horizon systematize the educational practices of the “Third World “, i.e. originating from the educational experience of Latin America, Africa and Asia. In the struggle for emancipation, these countries have built and are building unique educational practices. In this sense, we start questioning the historical and theoretical topic, omnilateral formation, and deployment, we discuss the Latin American school and omnilateral formation. We question specifically issues relating to intellectual and educational organization working in the “field schools” in Cuba (1960-1975). The issue of “intellectual and organizational culture”, in a Gramscian perspective (Gramsci, 2000), was addressed in several papers throughout our academic career (Villela, 2003, 2008, 2009-2010). In order to further these issues, we address the challenges of formation for children and rural youth in Latin America. By analyzing the educational practices in the education field, emerges the theme of contemporary global justice.

Les statalismes - particularismes lexicaux du français de la Suisse dans la traduction assermentée

This theoretical/applied study contemplates (socio)linguistic, (socio)terminological studies of the lexicon and specialized translation. It is aimed at analyzing a text corpus undergoing official translations from French into Portuguese and from Portuguese into French and a text corpus originally written in Swiss French. The objective is observing the similarities and differences between the first and second terminological group. Problems arise from the comparison of this material: would lexical particularities of Swiss French be a relevant difficulty for the Brazilian translator, whose training privileges the French spoken in France? Does the methodology favor cognate terms and those with a statelism status (institutional romandism)

Close Enough to One Another and Far Apart as Well´: The Intersection of Literature and History in Seamus Deane´s Reading in the Dark

This article analyses the intersection of narrative and history in Seamus Deane’s Reading in the Dark (1996). It uses the Benjaminian notions of memory, narration and experience to investigate how this novel creates a self through a language characterized by the absence of what it refers to. The analysis will eventually demonstrate that the tension between recollection and obliteration makes Literature and History converge as products of a narrative act.

Citrus greening disease investigation using micro synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence in association with soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA)

This study describes the use of micro synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (µSR-XRF) to investigate citrus greening disease in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) plants. An experiment using healthy plants as control and plants of the same variety infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) was performed to verify variations of the mineral composition of citrus leaves. A µSR-XRF system using the D09B X-ray fluorescence beam line at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS, Campinas, São Paulo State) was employed for this purpose. The data were analyzed using a chemometric tool called soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA). The promising results from SIMCA models reinforce the evidence that plants infected by citrus greening (both asymptomatic and symptomatic) undergo alterations in their micro- and macronutrient compositions.

Olhares acerca da construção cotidiana de uma escola do campo

The education of children and youth in the rural areas, with the social movements of struggle for land, returns to a place of relevance and is repositioned on the political agenda. This study aims to analyze the process of development and implementation of a pilot project of schools in the rural area of the city of Araraquara, focusing on the subjects’ perception of the region. We adopted a qualitative ethnographic approach, with the following instruments of data collection: participant observation and semi-structured interviews. It was found that the project which was built through a process of struggle of a community in an adversarial relationship with the municipal government, which itself is struggling in an exercise of cultural emancipation and the construction of citizenship. Thus it finds itself in a habit of cultural resistance and in areas that has its effects on representation and social transformation within the community. Notwithstanding, those who participated in the process of the struggle and implementation have been transformed along the way, salvaging their self-esteem, history and a sense of belonging to a community.
