Violência contra mulher: expressões da opressão às mulheres sob a égide do capitalismo e do patriarcado

This dissertation is the result of a research process that sought , from the speech of women in situations of violence , examine the difficulties these women to access the "network " of assistance to women victims of violence in the city of Natal/RN . Therefore , we made a critical analysis from the perspective of totality on the processual ontological " being a woman " and " be a man " , articulating the determinations of the subjective and objective dimensions in the lives of women at this juncture . Thus , also reflecting on the system of oppression of women through Capitalism / Patriarchate , articulated with other determinations of reality , as race / ethnicity , sexual orientation , generation and territoriality . Because of the oppression of women in all aspects of social life , the feminist movement led to the public domain claims against the oppressions of women and fight for Public Social Policies that aim to the particularities of women , among them, the social policies of coping violence against women . The speeches of the women interviewed show the contradictory aspect of work in women's lives . On the one hand , can become a means to financial independence ( with the possibility of exit from violent means). On the other , it can become "cause " of justification for the exercise of violence against women by their partners or former partners . Also show that despite legal advances , there is no effective implementation of policies aimed at women . This occurs as a result of capitalism / patriarchy and the context of neoliberal management of big capital . Thus , the feminist movement , as well as the social movement of the working class , must seek the empowerment of women through the struggle to end all forms of oppression , exploitation and domination among humans.

Influência da Alexitimia nos Processos Atencionais: a deteção de expressões faciais emocionais

A alexitimia é caraterizada pela dificuldade no processamento emocional e reconhecimento de expressões faciais, processos indispensáveis no relacionamento interpessoal. Neste estudo pretendemos avaliar se indivíduos com altos níveis de alexitimia apresentam maiores índices de psicopatologia e se o seu processamento de expressões faciais, sobretudo de expressões com cariz emocional negativo (raiva e nojo), é diferenciado do processamento efetuado por indivíduos com baixos níveis de alexitimia. Os participantes (67 mulheres) realizaram uma tarefa de procura visual onde se apresentavam conjuntos de expressões faciais emocionais (alegria, raiva, nojo), tendo os participantes de detetar de modo rápido e preciso a presença (ou ausência) destas expressões apresentadas entre estímulos neutros (expressões faciais neutras). Os resultados não revelaram quaisquer diferenças significativas entre os grupos. Contudo, verificou-se um processamento diferencial das expressões faciais emocionais em função do género da face. As expressões emocionais negativas em faces de homens foram mais rapidamente detetadas. Por outro lado, o processamento de faces de mulheres que expressavam raiva conduziu a uma maior proporção de erros. Estes resultados poderão remeter para a sensibilidade adquirida face às expressões faciais masculinas negativas e ameaçadoras, que conferem maior probabilidade de predizer agressão. Os pressupostos evolutivos associados ao processamento das emoções negativas, sobretudo da raiva, que a literatura na área da relação entre a emoção e a atenção aponta como adaptativa na população em geral, poderá explicar a ausência de efeitos significativos entre o grupo com altos e baixos níveis de alexitimia.

A alexitimia na categorização de emoções em expressões faciais dinâmicas

A alexitimia é o termo usado para caracterizar as pessoas com défices no processamento, na compreensão e na descrição de emoções. Definida também como um traço de personalidade multifatorial, a alexitimia tem uma prevalência de 10% na população em geral e está associada a uma menor qualidade de vida. Apesar de este estudo incidir-se numa população saudável, a alexitimia está frequentemente associada a patologias físicas e perturbações mentais. O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em verificar a influência da alexitimia na categorização das expressões faciais emocionais, numa tarefa de apresentação de faces dinâmicas. 87 participantes com diferentes índices de alexitimia completaram uma tarefa que consistia na apresentação de faces dinâmicas cujo o intuito era categorizar as expressões faciais de raiva, nojo e alegria. A precisão das respostas e os níveis de intensidade emocional foram manipulados. Os resultados indicaram que os indivíduos, no geral, identificaram mais precisamente e com menores níveis de intensidade emocional a expressão de alegria comparativamente com as expressões negativas (raiva e nojo). Verificou-se também diferenças significativas entre a alexitimia e as expressões faciais emocionais relativamente à precisão na categorização. Deste modo, foi possível verificar neste estudo, que indivíduos com altos níveis de alexitimia foram significativamente menos precisos na identificação da expressão facial de raiva comparativamente com indivíduos com baixos níveis de alexitimia.

Estudo numérico do impacto das emissões veiculares e fixas da cidade de Manaus nas concentrações de poluentes atmosféricos da região amazônica

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the urban pollution plume from the city of Manaus by emissions from mobile and stationary sources in the atmospheric pollutants concentrations of the Amazon region, by using The Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model. The air pollutants analyzed were CO, NOx, SO2, O3, PM2.5, PM10 and VOCs. The model simulations have been configured with a grid spacing of 3 km, with 190 x and 136 y grid points in horizontal spacing, centered in the city of Manaus during the period of 17 and 18 of March 2014. The anthropogenic emissions inventories have gathered from mobile sources that were estimated the emissions of light and heavy-duty vehicles classes. In addition, the stationary sources have considered the thermal power plants by the type of energy sources used in the region as well as the emissions from the refinery located in Manaus. Various scenarios have been defined with numerical experiments that considered only emissions by biogenic, mobile and stationary sources, and replacement fuel from thermal power plant, along with a future scenario consisting with twice as much anthropogenic emissions. A qualitative assessment of simulation with base scenario has also been carried out, which represents the conditions of the region in its current state, where several statistical methods were used in order to compare the results of air pollutants and meteorological fields with observed ground-based data located in various points in the study grid. The qualitative analysis showed that the model represents satisfactorily the variables analyzed from the point of view of the adopted parameters. Regarding the simulations, defined from the base scenarios, the numerical experiments indicate relevant results such as: it was found that the stationary sources scenario, where the thermal power plants are predominant, resulted in the highest concentrations, for all air pollutants evaluated, except for carbon monoxide when compared to the vehicle emissions scenario; The replacement of the energy matrix of current thermal power plants for natural gas have showed significant reductions in pollutants analyzed, for instance, 63% reductions of NOx in the contribution of average concentration in the study grid; A significant increase in the concentrations of chemical species was observed in a futuristic scenario, reaching up to a 81% increase in peak concentrations of SO2 in the study area. The spatial distributions of the scenarios have showed that the air pollution plume from Manaus is predominantly west and southwest, where it can reach hundreds of kilometers to areas dominated by original soil covering.

Estruturas cerâmicas a base de zircônia e alumina utilizadas na confecção de infra - estruturas para coroas e pontes fixas

The continuous advances in ceramic systems for crowns and bridges infrastructure getting researchers and manufacturers looking for a material that has good mechanical properties and aesthetic. The purpose of this study was to verify in which composition and sintering temperature the ceramic system for infrastructure composed of alumina and zirconia would have the best mechanical properties. With this objective we made in UFRN laboratories 45 test bodies in the form of rectangular bars with the following dimensions: 30mm x 8mm x 3mm, where we separated by the sintering temperature: 1200°C, 1300ºC and 1400ºC, and by comp osition: 33% Zirconia + 67% Alumina; 50% Zirconia + 50% Alumina and 25% Zirconia + 75% Alumina, these test bodies were not infiltrated with glass. Also, were made nine test bodies by a technical from a laboratory with a commercial ceramic system: in the Ceram Zircônia (Vita - Zahnfabrik) with the following dimensions: 20mm x 10mm x 0.5mm, these test bodies following all recommendations of the manufacturer and were infiltrated with glass. Were realized optical and electronic microscopy analyses, hardness testing, resistance to bending in three points, porosity and bulk density. After analysis of the results we verified that with the increasing of sintering temperature, increased the value of resistance to bending, but with the same temperature there was no significant difference between the different compositions, samples made with the commercial ceramic that were infiltrated, presented a resistance to bending six times greater than the samples sintered to 1400°C and which have not been infiltra ted. There was no significant difference between the values of apparent porosity for the samples made in UFRN laboratories, but the samples of commercial ceramic obtained 0% in porosity apparent value. In tests of Rockwell Hardness there is an increase in the value of Hardness, with the increase of sintering temperature for the samples not infiltrated. Samples infiltrated showed similar values as the samples sintered in 1400°C. There was no significant difference between the values of apparent density among samples manufactured in UFRN laboratories and samples made with a commercial ceramic

Refletindo sobre a Prática Pedagógica: os contributos das expressões artísticas para a aprendizagem integrada da leitura e da escrita numa turma do 1.º ano

O presente relatório surge no âmbito do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico encontra-se dividido em duas partes. A Parte I corresponde à Dimensão Reflexiva, e apresenta o percurso que realizei, nos contextos de Educação de Infância e de 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, fazendo uma reflexão crítica e fundamentada sobre as experiências mais significativas, as dificuldades sentidas e as aprendizagens realizadas. A Parte II corresponde à Dimensão Investigativa, e apresenta um estudo de carácter qualitativo, desenvolvido numa perspetiva de investigação-ação numa turma do 1.º ano de escolaridade. Este estudo procurou compreender os contributos das expressões artísticas, na aprendizagem integrada da leitura e da escrita, e permitiu implementar atividades articulando diferentes linguagens artísticas com a área disciplinar de português, bem como observar a motivação dos alunos neste contexto. Os dados apresentados revelaram que as atividades implementadas, contribuíram para uma aprendizagem mais significativa, por ser realizada num ambiente artístico, dinâmico e expressivo, onde o grupo de alunos pôde dar espaço à imaginação e à criatividade Desenvolveram experiências que integraram e interligaram os currículos de expressões artísticas com o português, reconhecendo-se assim, que através das expressões artísticas, será mais fácil motivar as crianças para aprender o código linguístico, as suas regras e o seu uso enquanto leitoras e produtoras de textos.

Expressões alegóricas da modernidade na publicidade

RESUMO: Tal proposta de estudo reflete sobre os emblemas da modernidade nas imagens da publicidade, especificamente a partir dos anúncios da revista Capricho, da década de 1970. Diante disso, as alegorias da marca compreendem tudo aquilo que a marca representa na mente do consumidor e, ao mesmo tempo, revela transfigurações das relações entre a arte da memória e conhecimento presentes na publicidade. Enfatizamos, nessas imagens, a multiplicidade de gêneros a partir do entrelaçamento de sentidos, tempos e espaços, saberes e conceitos presentes nas relações culturais do mito; seus padrões de comportamento, crenças, costumes, ou seja, suas configurações culturais e objetos de conhecimento sobressaltados no emaranhado mundo de sentidos estéticos e políticos persistentes no anúncio publicitário.

Análise de Expressões Não-Manuais em Traduções de Literaturas Surdas Infantis em Escrita de Sinais – Sistema Signwriting

O presente artigo analisou o parâmetro Expressões Não-Manuais (ENM) em traduções de literaturas surdas infantis em escrita de sinais pelo sistema SignWriting, destacando a importância de seu uso também na forma escrita. Dentre os cinco parâmetros fonológicos encontrados na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), um traço diferenciador é a harmonia que o uso da ENM traz tanto para as traduções, como para qualquer texto. Com base na temática investigada, o uso das ENM se faz presente ora mais evidenciado, ora quase imperceptível, dependendo exclusivamente do tema a qual se pretende registrar e das escolhas do tradutor. Trata-se de uma língua escrita de modalidade visuoespacial, portanto, o uso de imagens ilustrativas nas obras analisadas, compõem o entendimento. Por meio de recortes, foi possível evidenciar as escolhas e percepções de tradutores distintos sem o intuito de oferecer outras opções de ENM no corpus da pesquisa, ficando a cargo do leitor essa subjetividade. Ao término da análise das amostras pôde-se perceber, dentre outras questões, que o uso das ENM não é sistematizado.

Science education policy-making : eleven emerging issues

The Perth Declaration on Science and Technology Education of 2007 expresses strong concern about the state of science and technology education worldwide and calls on governments to respond to a number of suggestions for establishing the structural conditions for their improved practice. The quality of school education in science and technology has never before been of such critical importance to governments. There are three imperatives for its critical importance. The first relates to the traditional role of science in schooling, namely the identification, motivation and initial preparation of those students who will go on to further studies for careers in all those professional fi elds that directly involve science and technology. A suffi cient supply of these professionals is vital to the economy of all countries and to the health of their citizens. In the 21st century they are recognised everywhere as key players in ensuring that industrial and economic development occurs in a socially and environmentally sustainable way. In many countries this supply is now falling seriously short and urgently needs to be addressed. The second imperative is that sustainable technological development and many other possible societal applications of science require the support of scientifically and technologically informed citizens. Without the support and understanding of citizens, technological development can all too easily serve short term and sectional interests. The longer term progress of the whole society is overlooked, citizens will be confused about what should, and what should not be supported, and reactive and the environment will continue to be destroyed rather than sustained. Sustainable development, and the potential that science and technology increasingly offers, involves societies in ways that can often interact strongly, with traditional values, and hence, making decisions about them involve major moral decisions. All students need to be prepared through their science and technology education to be able to participate actively as persons and as responsible citizens in these essential and exciting possibilities. This goal is far from being generally achieved at present, but pathways to it are now more clearly understood. The third imperative derives from the changes that are resulting from the application of digital technologies that are the most rapid, the most widespread, and probably the most pervasive influence that science has ever had on human society. We all, wherever we live, are part of a global communication society. Information exchange and access to it that have been hitherto the realm of the few, are now literally in the hands of individuals. This is leading to profound changes in the World of Work and in what is known as the Knowledge Society. Schooling is now being challenged to contribute to the development in students of an active repertoire of generic and subject-based competencies. This contrasts very strongly with existing priorities, in subjects like the sciences that have seen the size of a student’s a store of established knowledge as the key measure of success. Science and technology education needs to be a key component in developing these competencies. When you add to these imperatives, the possibility that a more effective education in science and technology will enable more and more citizens to delight in, and feel a share in the great human enterprise we call Science, the case for new policy decisions is compellingly urgent. What follows are the recommendations (and some supplementary notes) for policy makers to consider about more operational aspects for improving science and technology education. They are listed under headings that point to the issues within each of these aspects. In the full document, a background is provided to each set of issues, including the commonly current state of science and technology education. Associated with each recommendation for consideration are the positive Prospects that could follow from such decision making, and the necessary Prerequisites, if such bold policy decisions are to fl ow, as intended, into practice in science and technology classrooms.

In-vehicle avatars to elicit social response and change driving behaviour

Social and psychological theories have provided a plethora of evidence showing that the physical difficulty to express appropriate social interactions between drivers expresses itself in aggression, selfish driving and anti-social behaviour. Therefore there is a need to improve interactions between drivers and allow clearer collective decision making between them. Personal characteristics and the driving situations play strong roles in driver’s aggression. Our approach is centered around the driving situation as opposed to focusing on personality characteristics. It examines aggression and manipulates contextual variables such as driver’s eye contact exchanges. This paper presents a new unobtrusive in-vehicle system that aims at communicating drivers’ intentions, elicit social responses and increasing mutual awareness. It uses eye gaze as a social cue to affect collective decision making with the view to contribute to safe driving. The authors used a driving simulator to design a case control experiment in which eye gaze movements are conveyed with an avatar. Participants were asked to drive through different types of intersections. An avatar representing the head of the other driver was displayed and driver behaviour was analysed. Significant eye gaze pattern difference where observed when an avatar was displayed. Drivers cautiously refer to the avatar when information is required on the intention of others (e.g. when they do not have the right of way). The majority of participants reported the perception of “being looked at”. The number of glances and time spent gazing at the avatar did not indicate an unsafe distraction by standards of in-vehicle device ergonomic design. Avatars were visually consulted primarily in less demanding driving situations, which underlines their non-distractive nature.

Enhancing learning in dance technique through on-line-mediated reflective practice

‘Practice makes perfect’ expresses the common misconception that repetitive practice without appropriate feed-back will deliver improvement in tasks being practised. This paper explores the implementation of a student-driven feed-back mechanism and shows how functional and aesthetic understanding can be progressively enhanced through reflective practice. More efficient practice of clearly understood tasks will enhance dance training outcomes. We were looking for ways to improve teaching efficiency, effectiveness of the students’ practice in the studio and application of safe dance practices. We devised a web-based on-line format, ‘Performing Reflective Practice’, designed to augment and refine studio practice. Only perfect practice makes perfect!
