O Cirque du Soleil e a trangressão natural do medo

O medo é uma emoção natural do ser humano, podendo representar um diferencial importante em relação à performance motora, especialmente quando se focaliza o ambiente das atividades físicas no Circo, mais particularmente do Cirque Du Soleil, por ser este bastante rico em desafios corporais. O Cirque Du Soleil é um império de entretenimento que tem sede nas cidades de Montréal e Quebec no Canadá e a transgressão do natural e a realização do impossível por meio do corpo humano representam as características básicas e marcantes desse espetáculo circense, carregado de emoções. Sendo assim, o objetivo do estudo centra-se em investigar a presença ou ausência do medo nas performances de um artista do Cirque Du Soleil, identificando seu significado e as maneiras com que este lida com esta emoção, antes e após o espetáculo e durante os treinos e ensaios. O estudo, de natureza qualitativa, foi desenvolvido em duas etapas, sendo a primeira referente a uma revisão de literatura acerca das temáticas propostas e a segunda relativa a uma pesquisa exploratória, utilizando-se como instrumento para coleta de dados um questionário contendo perguntas abertas, aplicado a uma amostra intencional composta por 1 integrante do Cirque Du Soleil, com o domínio do idioma português. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente, por meio da Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo Temático e indicam que artistas circenses sentem medo, ansiedade e nervosismo, além de alterações corporais, como aceleração do batimento cardíaco, antes de apresentações e diante do aprendizado de novos movimentos, que podem causar acidentes, tendo em vista que interferem na performance. O sujeito tenta controlar essas reações com pensamentos positivos, uma vez que entende que o medo é fruto de algo fictício proveniente da sua mente e utiliza a respiração para se acalmar.

A matemática no ciberespaço: um olhar fenomenológico para a expressão dos sujeitos

With the implementation of new technologies on the world stage of communication, Internet access has become increasingly numerous. Being sought by this means all kinds of information, from knowledge to entertainment. This paper intends to report the experience in two communities of the Internet, particularly in the social network Orkut, entitled I Hate Mathematics and I Love Mathematics, whose members are students, teachers and people who want to express how they feel about mathematics. The goal is to understand what took the members of these communities to hate or love Mathematics, clarifying the nature of the network Orkut and its contribution to mathematics education. For the analysis of data from field work, we use the phenomenological approach. The procedures followed by such approach allowed us to build four open categories: Research and Background, revealing that the research activities allow students to develop strategies, develop creativity and shows that what is learned in classroom is not just an accumulation of knowledge; Teacher's Role shows that it is necessary that the teacher understands the meaning of being a teacher and worry about being a student; Acquisition Technique, it is necessary that students be able to understand what is done and how it is done, and Sense of What is Done, to do is not directly linked to comprehend. The interpretation of these categories helped us understand the investigated giving us source to analyze how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can help the teacher understand the student's relationship with Mathematics

Estudo da transmissão esportiva na televisão brasileira

ports is an editorial present in every and any large scale news company, wheter it print, radio, television or web. However, their approach is made differently from other editorials, they have more freedom and constant use of elements that soften the text, leaving it close to entertainment.

Informática no ensino fundamental e médio: investigando o uso de computadores na escola

Com o passar do tempo e com a maior evolução da informática devido à criação de computadores cada vez mais potentes foram feitos diversos investimentos em ferramentas para transmissão de informações a distância. Dentre essas ferramentas estão softwares para interação usuário-máquina, programas que auxiliam a realização de processos de maneira eficaz e automatizada e a internet, que possibilitou conectar vários usuários em todo o mundo. O uso da informática é cada vez mais necessário em todas as áreas e isso não é diferente na educação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar as condições de 10 escolas localizadas em três cidades do Estado de São Paulo: Campinas, Leme e Botucatu, com relação à utilização da informática no processo de aprendizagem dos alunos e como recurso aos professores e funcionários para o auxilio a informatização do ambiente escolar e desenvolvimento de novas práticas de ensino. Por meio das respostas foi possível fazer um levantamento das condições do uso da informática nas escolas visitadas identificando as deficiências ainda encontradas com relação à utilização dos computadores. Nota-se ainda nas escolas, um equívoco sobre a real função do computador que muitas vezes é confundido como simples entretenimento ao invés de um grande mecanismo para o processo de desenvolvimento cognitivo e aprendizagem.

Web Service para geração de VRS no contexto de posicionamento GPS

Internet is fully inserted in contemporary society, specially in relation to entertainment services and trading. Its reach has transposed the traditional desktop computer models coming to mobile devices like cell phones and GPS receivers. Likewise, the scientific community takes its benefits, both for publication of studies and for communication between clusters processing information, such as at LHC, located in Switzerland. Concerning geodetic positioning, researches in the area present the concept of Virtual Reference Stations - VRS, in which is necessary a communication way between the real reference stations and a central system as well as between central system and a service requester. In this work, we analyze the current solutions for generation of VRS with regard to data delivery for the service requester and present a solution based on Web Services as an alternative to the model being developed by Spatial Geodesy Study Group – GEGE/FCT/UNESP. Comparing solutions, it was verified the potential of Web Services to aid in researches of geodetic positioning using VRS. Using such technology, it is obtained interoperability, providing greater flexibility to develop client applications, both development carried out by researchers of the university or by any person or enterprise wishing to use the service

That initiative becomes present through the importancy of the sanatorium to the public health of Vale do Paraíba in the decades between 30 and 70, of the 20th century. Nowadays this place refuges a park, presenting a reexamination of its space, with the possibility of the leisure practice, entertaining and tourism. The Vicentina Aranha Sanatorium Park presents itself conserving a landscape that is able of being inserted in a continuum past-present resignifying ways of appropriation and use. The word patrimony has many meanings and it‟s commonly associated to the set of goods that someone, the society or an entity owns. Transporting in a determinate territory, the patrimony starts to be a set of goods that are in its limits of administrative competency. (BARRETO, 2000).

Um estudo de novos paradigmas na realização de projetos de instalação elétrica residencial (automação)

Through awareness of new trends of consumption of the population with regard to housing, comfort, entertainment, security and sustainability, it was crafted a work that set out to study and develop the concept of home automation and how it will revolutionize the electrical installation projects and energy savings. A pre-wiring project, taking into account, basically, the installed load, is presented as a basis for comparison. The protocols for communication between intelligent devices in an automation environment, used in the work, are the X-10, LonWorks and UPnP. The home network is studied and divided into subsystems, for a better understanding, which are the lighting, audio, video and multimedia system, security, air conditioning and central vacuum system, and the idea of integrated design and system integrator is introduced, showing the change necessity in the design philosophy of electrical installations. The main means of energy savings in an automated home, such as dimerization, master off and smart meters are presented and, finally, it was concluded that there is a need to structure electrical installation projects more comprehensive with regard to home automation, in order to become more efficient and useful to users
