EDUCACIÓN PERMANENTE DE JOVENES Y ADULTOS: UNA PROPUESTA DE FORMACIÓN CONTINUA PARA DIRECTIVOS, DOCENTES Y FORMADORES

Uno de los factores que cobra especial relevancia para profundizar la transformación de la Educación Permanente de Jóvenes y Adultos (EPJA), es atender al desarrollo profesional de los equipos directivos y docentes de las instituciones de EPJA, como así también a la formación de los que están interesados en desempeñarse en esta modalidad. La reducida oferta de formación específica de grado y las escasas propuestas de capacitación sobre temáticas para la Modalidad generan que la población docente que actualmente está frente a los diversos servicios de Educación de Jóvenes y Adultos no cuente con la formación necesaria y específica para desempeñarse en esta modalidad educativa. Es habitual entender a la EPJA como un subsistema dentro de la educación formal, asignándole un marcado carácter compensatorio debido a las particularidades de los sujetos que participan de ella. Como producto de esto, es corriente observar una reproducción -casi exacta- de la propuesta educativa, tanto organizacional cuanto curricular, de la educación que se les imparte a los niños y adolescentes. Esta mirada, de algún modo infantilizada/adolescentizada de los estudiantes jóvenes y adultos, lejos de tener un efecto de “compensación de formación”, favorece y refuerza algunas variables personales que, habitualmente, están presentes en ellos e inciden negativamente en el aprendizaje: escasa valoración de los propios conocimientos y experiencias adquiridos de manera formal o informal, falta de confianza en sí mismos, tendencia a la subordinación y resistencia al cambio, entre otras. Un sistema así concebido no sólo se caracteriza por su falta de adecuación a las necesidades de formación de las personas jóvenes y adultas sino que desvirtúa el verdadero carácter, sentido e identidad de esta modalidad como subsistema del sistema educativo. La desvinculación de la realidad cotidiana y la débil articulación con el mundo laboral repercuten directamente en la calidad educativa. Lograr una propuesta educativa acorde con los participantes de los servicios de Educación de Jóvenes y Adultos requiere el diseño e implementación de estrategias de formación docente continua que permitan a directivos y docentes conocer las características cognitivas, sociales y culturales de los sujetos de la EPJA y reflexionar sobre su incidencia en el aprendizaje y los modos de organización institucional y curricular que mejor favorezcan los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje. Todo esto demanda considerar que la EPJA exige, de parte de las instituciones, roles, contenidos y estrategias de intervención diferentes, más adecuados a las necesidades y expectativas de los jóvenes y adultos, reconociendo que estas personas cuentan con experiencias de vida y tiempos de estudio que difieren cuali y cuantivamente de los de los estudiantes que asisten a un centro educativo común, y que no son suficiente y adecuadamente considerados en las instancias de planificación y organización institucional y docente. En virtud de lo expresado anteriormente, el Equipo de Investigación, Docencia y Proyección Social de la Facultad de Educación de la UCC que estudió la SITUACIÓN DE LA EDUCACIÓN SECUNDARIA DE JÓVENES Y ADULTOS (2011-2013) transferirá los resultados de dicho trabajo, a través de la implementación de un Curso de Formación docente Continua Diplomado en Educación Permanente de Jóvenes y Adultos que promueva la actualización de directivos, docentes y formadores, tanto en las problemáticas específicas relacionadas con la modalidad EPJA como en aquellos aspectos disciplinares y pedagógicos-didácticos que favorezcan la profesionalidad de las prácticas educativas en contexto. La propuesta se desarrollará conjuntamente con la Dirección General de Educación de Jóvenes y Adultos/ Cba (DGEJA). (Institución receptora de la transferencia). Los participantes serán 135 directivos y/o docentes pertenecientes a los CENMA de la Prov. de Cba., a razón de un asistente por cada Institución.

TransReality : en kvalitativ studie om representationer av unga transpersoner i Ryssland och USA

Denna studie undersöker hur unga transpersoner representeras i media, närmare bestämt inom genren reality tv. De två program som valts för ändamålet är amerikanska I am Jazz och ryska TransReality, där den första fokuserar på 15-åriga Jazz Jennings liv medan den andra följer ett antal unga transpersoners vardag. Valet av program bygger på att de båda släpptes under det gångna året, att samtliga huvudpersoner är ungdomar och att de har sitt ursprung i två vitt skilda kulturella kontext. Syftet är att granska hur serierna representerar transpersoner utifrån frågor som biologiskt kön, genus och könsidentitet. Frågeställningarna rör ungdomarnas sociala relationer och samhället, vad det är som serierna problematiserar och hur programmets utformning bidrar till att berätta deras historier. Inledningsvis förklaras olika definitioner av kön, samt genus och könsidentitet. För att närma mig materialet har jag valt teorier utifrån programmens utformning såväl som innehåll. Teorierna omfattar reality tv, stereotypier, Judith Butlers idéer om genus i kombination med transgender studier och transfeminism. De senare två är relativt nya akademiska ämnen/teorier i Sverige, men välbehövliga sådana då de tar transpersoners liv och erfarenheter på allvar. Studierna jag tagit del av inom tidigare forskning visar på att transpersoner ofta förbises även i queerteoretiska sammanhang. Feminismen har även inkorporerats i metodologin, för att bättre belysa det som studien avser att undersöka. Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys med sin politiska betoning utgör stommen för det analytiska arbetet. Detta har applicerats på tre avsnitt av varje program: det första, mittersta och sista. Genom att analysera dessa framkommer att bakom den överlag positiva framställningen av de unga transpersonerna i TransReality ligger konservativa värderingar om kön, genus och könsidentitet. I am Jazz är mer progressiv, men även den visar ibland på liknande tendenser som TransReality. De sociala relationerna är det som problematiseras, istället för de unga transpersonerna själva. Reality tv ger prov på att den vuxit till sig som genre i att den med dokumentär ambition berättar de unga transpersonernas historier. Denna autenticitet kan vara av vikt för samhällets förståelse av transpersoner. 

Modelling and linking transformations in EPCIS governing supply chain business processes

Supply chains comprise of complex processes spanning across multiple trading partners. The various operations involved generate large number of events that need to be integrated in order to enable internal and external traceability. Further, provenance of artifacts and agents involved in the supply chain operations is now a key traceability requirement. In this paper we propose a Semantic web/Linked data powered framework for the event based representation and analysis of supply chain activities governed by the EPCIS specification. We specifically show how a new EPCIS event type called "Transformation Event" can be semantically annotated using EEM - The EPCIS Event Model to generate linked data, that can be exploited for internal event based traceability in supply chains involving transformation of products. For integrating provenance with traceability, we propose a mapping from EEM to PROV-O. We exemplify our approach on an abstraction of the production processes that are part of the wine supply chain.

OntoPedigree:modelling pedigrees for traceability in supply chains

The sharing of product and process information plays a central role in coordinating supply chains operations and is a key driver for their success. "Linked pedigrees" - linked datasets, that encapsulate event based traceability information of artifacts as they move along the supply chain, provide a scalable mechanism to record and facilitate the sharing of track and trace knowledge among supply chain partners. In this paper we present "OntoPedigree" a content ontology design pattern for the representation of linked pedigrees, that can be specialised and extended to define domain specific traceability ontologies. Events captured within the pedigrees are specified using EPCIS - a GS1 standard for the specification of traceability information within and across enterprises, while certification information is described using PROV - a vocabulary for modelling provenance of resources. We exemplify the utility of OntoPedigree in linked pedigrees generated for supply chains within the perishable goods and pharmaceuticals sectors.

Proteção diferencial de transformadores de potência utilizando a transformada Wavelet

About 10% of faults involving the electrical system occurs in power transformers. Therefore, the protection applied to the power transformers is essential to ensure the continuous operation of this device and the efficiency of the electrical system. Among the protection functions applied to power transformers, the differential protection appears as one of the main schemes, presenting reliable discrimination between internal faults and external faults or inrush currents. However, when using the low frequency components of the differential currents flowing through the transformer, the main difficulty of the conventional methods of differential protection is the delay for detection of the events. However, internal faults, external faults and other disturbances related to the transformer operation present transient and can be appropriately detected by the wavelet transform. In this paper is proposed the development of a wavelet-based differential protection for detection and identification of external faults to the transformer, internal faults, and transformer energizing by using the wavelet coefficient energy of the differential currents. The obtained results reveal the advantages of using of the wavelet transform in the differential protection compared to conventional protection, since it provides reliability and speed in detection of these events.

Cloud Stratus: uma plataforma de middleware para desenvolvimento de aplicações em nuvem

Cloud Computing is a paradigm that enables the access, in a simple and pervasive way, through the network, to shared and configurable computing resources. Such resources can be offered on demand to users in a pay-per-use model. With the advance of this paradigm, a single service offered by a cloud platform might not be enough to meet all the requirements of clients. Ergo, it is needed to compose services provided by different cloud platforms. However, current cloud platforms are not implemented using common standards, each one has its own APIs and development tools, which is a barrier for composing different services. In this context, the Cloud Integrator, a service-oriented middleware platform, provides an environment to facilitate the development and execution of multi-cloud applications. The applications are compositions of services, from different cloud platforms and, represented by abstract workflows. However, Cloud Integrator has some limitations, such as: (i) applications are locally executed; (ii) users cannot specify the application in terms of its inputs and outputs, and; (iii) experienced users cannot directly determine the concrete Web services that will perform the workflow. In order to deal with such limitations, this work proposes Cloud Stratus, a middleware platform that extends Cloud Integrator and offers different ways to specify an application: as an abstract workflow or a complete/partial execution flow. The platform enables the application deployment in cloud virtual machines, so that several users can access it through the Internet. It also supports the access and management of virtual machines in different cloud platforms and provides services monitoring mechanisms and assessment of QoS parameters. Cloud Stratus was validated through a case study that consists of an application that uses different services provided by different cloud platforms. Cloud Stratus was also evaluated through computing experiments that analyze the performance of its processes.

Alinhamento estratégico da TI: o caso da UFRN

It is considered that the Strategic Alignment IT is the first step within the IT Governance process for any institution. Taking as initial point the recognition that the governance corporate has an overall view of the organizations, the IT Governance takes place as a sub-set responsible for the implementation of the organization strategies in what concerns the provision of the necessary tools for the achievement of the goals set in the Institutional Development Plan. In order to do so, COBIT specifies that such Governance shall be built on the following principles: Strategic Alignment, Value Delivery, Risk Management, Performance Measurement. This paper aims at the Strategic Alignment, considered by the authors as the foundation for the development of the entire IT Governance core. By deepening the technical knowledge of the management system development, UFRN has made a decisive step towards the technical empowerment needed to the “Value Delivery”, yet, by perusing the primarily set processes to the “Strategic Alignment”, gaps that limited the IT strategic view in the implementation of the organizational goals were found. In the qualitative study that used documentary research with content analysis and interviews with the strategic and tactical managers, the view on the role of SINFO – Superintendência de Informática was mapped. The documentary research was done on public documents present on the institutional site and on TCU – Tribunal de Contas da União – documents that map the IT Governance profiles on the federal public service as a whole. As a means to obtain the documentary research results equalization, questionnaires/interviews and iGovTI indexes, quantitative tools to the standardization of the results were used, always bearing in mind the usage of the same scale elements present in the TCU analysis. This being said, similarly to what the TCU study through the IGovTI index provides, this paper advocates a particular index to the study area – SA (Strategic Alignment), calculated from the representative variables of the COBIT 4.1 domains and having the representative variables of the Strategic Alignment primary process as components. As a result, an intermediate index among the values in two adjacent surveys done by TCU in the years of 2010 and 2012 was found, which reflects the attitude and view of managers towards the IT governance: still linked to Data Processing in which a department performs its tasks according to the demand of the various departments or sectors, although there is a commission that discusses the issues related to infrastructure acquisition and systems development. With an Operational view rather than Strategic/Managerial and low attachment to the tools consecrated by the market, several processes are not contemplated in the framework COBIT defined set; this is mainly due to the inexistence of a formal strategic plan for IT; hence, the partial congruency between the organization goals and the IT goals.

Desenvolvimento de aplicações móveis baseadas em sistemas de informações web existentes

Algoritmos experimentais para o problema biobjetivo da árvore geradora quadrática em adjacência de arestas

The Quadratic Minimum Spanning Tree (QMST) problem is a generalization of the Minimum Spanning Tree problem in which, beyond linear costs associated to each edge, quadratic costs associated to each pair of edges must be considered. The quadratic costs are due to interaction costs between the edges. When interactions occur between adjacent edges only, the problem is named Adjacent Only Quadratic Minimum Spanning Tree (AQMST). Both QMST and AQMST are NP-hard and model a number of real world applications involving infrastructure networks design. Linear and quadratic costs are summed in the mono-objective versions of the problems. However, real world applications often deal with conflicting objectives. In those cases, considering linear and quadratic costs separately is more appropriate and multi-objective optimization provides a more realistic modelling. Exact and heuristic algorithms are investigated in this work for the Bi-objective Adjacent Only Quadratic Spanning Tree Problem. The following techniques are proposed: backtracking, branch-and-bound, Pareto Local Search, Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure, Simulated Annealing, NSGA-II, Transgenetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization and a hybridization of the Transgenetic Algorithm with the MOEA-D technique. Pareto compliant quality indicators are used to compare the algorithms on a set of benchmark instances proposed in literature.

Uma estratégia para otimizar a geração de arranjos em subestações virtuais de energia elétrica

The Virtual Reality techniques applied in Electricity Environments provide a new supervisory control paradigm. The fact of existing a virtual environment (VE), geometrically similar to a real substation, reduces the difference of mental models built by field operators compared with those built by system center operation improving the communication. Beside this, those systems can be used as visualization interfaces for electricity system simulators, training systems for professors and undergraduate students, field operators and maintenance professionals. However, the development process of these systems is quite complex, combining several activities such as implementation, 3D modeling, virtual sceneries construction, usability assessment and management project techniques. In this context, this work present a GUI strategy to build field arrangements based on scene graphs, to reduce time in Virtual Electricity Substations Arrangement development. Through this, mistakes during the VE building can be avoided making this process more reliable. As an concept proof, all toolkits developed in this work were applied in the virtualization of the substations from a Brazilian power concessionary named CEMIG.
