A escolha da profissão docente: perfil dos alunos do curso de Pedagogia da UNESP/Bauru no ano de 2011

Several aspects interfere when it comes to choose a career. Some of which are family and cultural influence; and even lack of opportunities. Such aspects were greatly taken into consideration for defining the subject of this research which is to analyze the reasoning Pedagogy students from UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista – University of São Paulo State) used when choosing their academic career, and to assess the students’ profile who were taking this course in 2011 as well as the influence of students’ socioeconomic conditions. An empiric approach with a qualitative survey was chosen to develop this research which was conducted with a questionnaire appliance and with a semi-structured interview with randomly selected students. A theoretical study about the specifics of the academic career and a fully comprehension of the legal / regulatory aspects of this profession in Brazil were also conducted. The survey results showed that most students were women, supporting the fact that this career has become a female profession. Characteristics such as vocation and mission, presented on literatures as the specifics of this profession were clearly seen in the survey results. Several students went to public schools and are labeled into the classes C and D in social economical status; furthermore almost 50% had not chosen Pedagogy as a first choice for a major. However, most of the students do not think that their social economical status had influence in their choice. Nevertheless some students claimed that their options were not their first wish and their choice was made by the easier possibility of entering and concluding the course besides the prompt need of these professionals after graduating in the job market. The students’ education background were also discussed in the research... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Musicalização infantil: uma reflexão sobre o processo de formação de professores

Neste trabalho socializo resultados produzidos a partir de uma proposta de pesquisa e intervenção desenvolvida com professoras do Ensino Fundamental I de uma escola pública do interior do estado de São Paulo. Fui coordenador de um curso de musicalização desenvolvido em dez encontros no contexto do HTPC (Horário de Trabalho Pedagógico Coletivo), e que ofereceu subsídios para a atuação dessas professoras em sala de aula. Assim, por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, seguindo a metodologia de pesquisa de orientação sócio histórica, na qual o pesquisador e o pesquisado aprendem juntos “produzindo sentidos dos eventos observados” (FREITAS, 2003, p. 31), busquei refletir sobre a importância do processo formativo na área musical de professoras do Ensino Fundamental I, através da reflexão sobre a experiência formativa dessas professoras com as quais pesquisei. Os dados produzidos analisados no presente trabalho são falas e escritas das professoras coletadas no terceiro e no último encontro, respectivamente, na busca por compreender a potencialidade dos encontros para repensar na concepção de música e musicalização dos professores

Análise da estabilidade dimensional e resistência mecânica em bambu Guadua angustifolia pós-processos de tratamentos químicos e térmico

Nowadays, bamboo is being studied because of their strength properties according with their specific mass and speed of growth, which makes it an important alternative as a new resource that will help reduce pressure on forests and helpping them favoring the minimization of uncontrolled deforestation in many regions of Brazil. This study aimed, in general, to analyze physical and mechanical properties of the material with the divulgation of its potential for industrial application. To do so, in this research were determined in relation to the physical properties, moisture content, dimensional stability and the apparent densities and the mechanics and basic, just a tension parallel to grain, in order to observe the interference of various kinds of treatments (chemical, thermal and natural) on the strength and modulus of elasticity in this request. The species used was the Guadua angustifolia, a species native of Brazil. All tests were performed at Universidade Estadual Paulista - Campus Experimental Itapeva in the laboratory of Materials Properties. The methodology used for testing of moisture, density and tension parallel to grain were based on NBR 7190/1997 for the wood, and dimensional stability tests were based on much the same as in COPANT 462/1972 (South American) . The preservative treatments conducted followed the recommendation of each manufacturer. The values obtained in tests of physical properties were satisfactory especially with respect to density and dimensional stability analyzed by the coefficient of anisotropy, showed that, compared to wood, excellent quality for the shrinkage test, obtaining a coefficient of 1.2. With respect to parallel tensile tests to fibre results showed, in most cases, that test specimens with the presence of us have lower values of resistance and modulus of elasticity when compared with those without us. In the treatment of thermal-treatment there was an apparent treatment there was an apparent increase in...

Marketing esportivo e liderança: aspectos relevantes do esporte brasileiro

A influência do futebol no Brasil acaba promovendo a pouca divulgação de outras modalidades esportivas, dentre elas o baseball e o softball, modalidades esportivas ainda pouco conhecidas neste país, porém muito populares na América do Norte e na Ásia e que vêm buscando seu espaço, com o escasso apoio e incentivo à prática. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar as influências que o marketing esportivo e sua liderança sobre o baseball e o softball no Brasil e observar os métodos utilizados para realizar a divulgação dos esportes mencionados. A metodologia utilizada para o estudo será através de revisões bibliográficas relacionadas às modalidades em questão, sobre marketing, mídia e liderança relacionada ao baseball e softball. A partir disto espera-se encontrar novos métodos para a divulgação dos esportes e o entendimento do por que destas modalidades não conseguirem se difundir no país de maneira sólida

Estudo e análise do risco e da viabilidade econômica do mercado cativo e do mercado livre de energia elétrica no terceiro ciclo tarifário

In 2004 two trading environment for contracts of purchase and of electricity energy were established, the Regulated Contracting Environment (RGE) and the Free Contracting Environment (FCE). In the first one, consumers can only buy their energy directly from local electricity distribution, and in the second one, consumers can choose their delivery, amount and type of energy that they will burn through bilateral contracts. Thus, before deciding to migrate to the FCE, it is necessary understanding the rules of marketing, the risk involved and the economic viability of the two markets so can determine which environment has more benefits to the consumer. This paper aims to offer tools to support takeover decision of potentially free costumers, who have the option to migrate to market in order to evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of each market. This paper has also considered the new rules of the third rate cycle, where consumers can opt for green tax. The methodology presented is based on calculations of spending with energy and the risk of flag in captive market and free market in one year

Desenvolvimento de sistemas orientado a modelos

The Software Engineering originated with the motivation to mass produce components for increased productivity in production systems. Since its origins, numerous studies have been proposed on the subject as new features in the creation of systems, like the Object- Oriented Programming and Aspect-Oriented Programming, have been established and methodologies have been developed to control them efficiently. However, years of studies in the area were not sufficient to create a methodology for reusing software artifacts really efficient and easy enough to be widespread. Given this, the Model-Driven Development (MDD) is trying to promote it using the modeling of systems as a reference, becoming part of it and establishing a huge productivity gain. One of his approaches is called Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD), which focuses on improving the practices and systems development using Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) for this purpose. In this Final Paper, Xtext is used as a tool to prove the productivity and efficiency of this approach, and for that bibliographic studies were made on the approach and the tool, and show the methodology and a case study to demonstrate results and conclusions regarding this work

Identificação de boas práticas e dificuldades do SMED aplicado em uma indústria do ramo de cosméticos

The cosmetic industry has presenting growth in Brazil and one way to support this demand is improving production and reducing waste. Wastes can be related to setup time, which is spent to support demand of product´s mix and volume. One of the methodologies used to reduce setup time is SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die). This paper aims to describe and analyze the setup process in a production line in a cosmetic industrial branch, before and after the application of SMED methodology, highlighting good practices and difficulties in order to help other companies develop fast setup. The research method used was the case study. From the analysis of the implementation of the methodology on the company which is object from the case study was possible to summarize good practices, such as: the use of pillar E&T to store information about the training on the SMED methodology; creation of a multifunctional teamwork and involving different areas; creation of a “From-To” matrix. Difficulties were identified, such as: high and constant turnover of people who work on the shop floor; lack of discipline in filling the forms and by doing the setup activities that were standardized; lack of financial resources; lack of people´s availability in orer to conduct necessary meetings and trainings. Recommendations for other companies have also been proposed, such as: training of the team involved, before starting the project and a refresher training; standardization of training, forms and documentation of all steps of the project; create a multifunctional team; training after an employee, who is responsible for the setup, leaves the company

Desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico para a quantificação de ofloxacino colírio por turbidimetria

O ofloxacino, uma fluorquinolona de segunda geração, foi sintetizada em 1982, apresenta eficácia e segurança no tratamento comprovadas. A determinação da potência dos antimicrobianos é importante no controle e na garantia da qualidade das preparações farmacêuticas e faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de procedimentos práticos e econômicos que possam ser validados e aplicados no doseamento desses fármacos. Dentre os ensaios microbiológicos, os mais comumente empregados são o de difusão em ágar e o turbidimétrico. Na literatura, apenas são encontradas descrições de ensaios para o ofloxacino utilizando o método de difusão em ágar. O método turbidimétrico tem como uma das principais vantagens, a necessidade de menor tempo de análise. O método consiste na avaliação quantitativa de substâncias em função da turbidez de suas suspensões, proporcional a seu poder de difração sobre luz incidente (efeito Tyndall) (FB 5, 2010). O objetivo desse trabalho foi desenvolver um método microbiológico analítico para quantificação do ofloxacino que possa ser usado para análises rotineiras em laboratórios de controle de qualidade. Os parâmetros estudados para a validação do método analítico para quantificação do ofloxacino não atenderam a todas as especificações recomendadas. Assim sendo, pode-se concluir que este trabalho de conclusão de curso, não conseguiu atingir seu objetivo que era de desenvolver e validar uma metodologia analítica. O método demonstrou desenvolvimento complexo e trabalhoso e não apresentou o paralelismo e exatidão necessários para validação
