Peter J. Caffrey with BMCC players and coach

Peter J. Caffrey is pictured with the BMCC players and coach, winners of the Metropolitan Community College Holiday Tournament. Peter J. Caffrey was Acting President of the College from 1971-1972 and again from 1977-1978. He was Dean of the College under President Milton Bassin before his first stint as Acting President.

Peter Drucker e a legitimação do capitalismo tardio : uma análise crítica do discurso

Esta dissertação trata de uma pesquisa que se centrou na análise de um problema, de natureza discursiva, na sociedade contemporânea. Tal abordagem visou compreender a contribuição de Peter Drucker na legitimação de idéias e práticas do capitalismo tardio. Para tanto, tomando um corpus composto por três textos, desenvolvi uma pesquisa balizada pela Análise Crítica do Discurso. De acordo com a proposta de Fairclough da atuação simultânea e dialética de três principais tipos de significado em textos, os textos foram analisados na perspectiva de seus significados acional, representacional e identificacional. Do significado acional, foram investigadas a estrutura genérica e a intertextualidade; do significado representacional, a interdiscursividade e a representação dos atores sociais; do significado identificacional, a modalidade e a avaliação. A análise sócio-discursiva realizada permitiu depreender o caráter ideológico dos discursos proferidos por Peter drucker a serviço da dominação, por reforçar conhecimentos, crenças e valores que contribuem para a construção fatalista da globalização neoliberal. Tal construção provoca a disjunção entre o político e o social, prega a demissão do Estado de suas funções e, conseqüentemente, o agravamento da situação de exploração e miséria, radicalizando as diferenças entre os incluídos e os excluídos.

A difícil aceitação dos números negativos: um estudo da teoria dos números de Peter Barlow (1776-1862)

The present study seeks to present a historico-epistemological analysis of the development of the mathematical concept of negative number. In order to do so, we analyzed the different forms and conditions of the construction of mathematical knowledge in different mathematical communities and, thus, identified the characteristics in the establishment of this concept. By understanding the historically constructed barriers, especially, the ones having ontologicas significant, that made the concept of negative number incompatible with that of natural number, thereby hindering the development of the concept of negative, we were able to sketch the reasons for the rejection of negative numbers by the English author Peter Barlow (1776 -1862) in his An Elementary Investigation of the Theory of Numbers, published in 1811. We also show the continuity of his difficulties with the treatment of negative numbers in the middle of the nineteenth century

Fundamentos da filosofia moral de Peter Singer

This research aims to reconstruct and explain the argument proposed by Peter Singer to justify the principle of equal consideration of interests (PECI). The PECI is the basic normative principle according to people should consider the interests of all sentient beings affected when somebody taking a moral decision. It is the join that Singer proposes between universalizability and the principle of equal consideration of interests that constitutes a compelling reason to justify it. The universalizability requires to disregard the numerical differences, putting yourself in other people s shoes, and to consider preferences, interests, desires and ideals of those affected. Singer joins universalizability to normative principle and molds the form and content of his theory. The first chapter introduces the discussion will be developed in this essay. The second chapter deals the historical and philosophical viewpoint from which Singer starts his studies. The third chapter is about the Singer s critiques of naturalism, intuitionism, relativism, simple subjectivism and emotivism. The fourth chapter exposes the design of universal prescriptivism proposed by R. M. Hare. The universal prescriptivism indicates, in the Singer s viewpoint, a consistent way to create the join between the universalizability and PECI. It highlights also the criticism designed by J. L. Mackie and Singer himself to universal prescriptivism. The second part of this chapter shows briefly some of the main points of the classical conception of utilitarianism and its possible relationship with the theory of Singer. The fifth chapter introduces the Singer s thesis about the origin of ethics and the universalizability as a feature necessary to the point of view of ethic, and the way which this argument is developed to form the PECI. The sixth chapter exposes the main distinctions that characterize the PECI. Finally the seventh chapter provides a discussion about the reasons highlighted by Singer for one who wants orient his life according to the standpoint of ethics. This structure allows explaining the main ideas of the author concerning the theoretical foundations of his moral philosophy

Skeletal and dental components of Class II correction with the bionator and removable headgear splint appliances

The purpose of this study was to differentiate the dentoalveolar and skeletal effects to better understand orthodontic treatment. We evaluated the treatment changes associated with the bionator and the removable headgear splint (RHS). Methods: The sample comprised 51 consecutively treated Class II patients from 1 office who had all been successfully treated with either a bionator (n = 17) or an RHS appliance (n = 17). Class II patients waiting to start treatment later served as controls (n = 17). A modified version of the Johnston pitchfork analysis was used to quantify the dentoalveolar and skeletal contributions to the anteroposterior correction at the levels of the molars and the incisors. Results: Both appliances significantly improved anteroposterior molar relationships (2.15 mm for the bionator, 2.27 mm for the RHS), primarily by dentoalveolar modifications (1.49 and 2.36 mm for the bionator and the RHS, respectively), with greater maxillary molar distalization in the RHS group. Overjet relationships also improved significantly compared with the controls (3.11 and 2.12 mm for the bionator and the RHS, respectively), due primarily to retroclination of the maxillary incisors (2.2 and 2.38 mm for the bionator and the RHS, respectively). The differences between overall corrections and dentoalveolar modifications for both molar and overjet relationships were explained by skeletal responses, with the bionator group showing significantly greater anterior mandibular displacement than the RHS group. Conclusions: The bionator and the RHS effectively corrected the molar relationships and overjets of Class II patients primarily by dentoalveolar changes.
