A temática da violência escolar na formação docente inicial: das lacunas existentes às discussões necessárias

This paper emerged from a reflection on the troubles afflicting and shocked teachers, especially early in his career, among which stands out both in studies and in reports propagated by the teachers themselves: the violence manifested in and out of classrooms. Given this finding and the obvious need for overcoming beyond ephemeral measures, this research outlines two equally important goals: a) incite the discussion of violence at the time of initial teacher training as well as the emergence of new studies concerning this subject in academic research and b) transgress the tradition of research that consists in recommending prescriptions to be applied about how banning school violence, disregarding the peculiarities of each context. These objectives are derived from following question: which strategies are developed in undergraduate courses that aim to preparing of future teachers to deal with the phenomenon of violence in elementary school? Intending to answer this question and, therefore, contemplate the objectives outlined we opted for specialized bibliographic material analysis, systematically selected as the method. As a main result, it was found that the discussion of the theme of school violence in the initial teacher training is something still scarce in practice and incipient in the sphere of research. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of strengthening of this discussion so that when they get into career teaching, future teachers feel adequately subsidized up to face the everyday challenges that may manifest over the profession.

Teorias democráticas diante da nova gramática de organização da sociedade e da relação entre o Estado e a sociedade

This article is about the democratic theoretical conceptions reformulated in face of the new social rules in which actors showed up claiming repressed social repressed from the second half of the XX century. In this article an approach of the main contributions of the dimensions of the conception of democracy. As a result, we present that the institutional innovations that came from a process of institutionalism of democracy have built a participative and inclusive ideal of social groups that so far were apart from the decision process in politics.

Teoria crítica da sociedade: um olhar sobre a educação em tempos de sociedade tecnológica

This article aims to discuss and reflect on the contributions of the Critical Theory of Society called for the field of education in times of increasing technological development. Therefore, we look to the works of three authors exponents of Critical Theory: Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno and Herbert Marcuse, highlighting the reflections and analyzes of these authors and using them as input in the educational field. The selfreflective and self-education is conceived in its potential to overcome the conditions of domination that remain in our society increasingly technified and supposedly democratic. Thus, the educational praxis think it seems like something urgent and necessary to be broken with certain conditions that keeps our potential to barbarism.

Notas sobre os historiadores e suas fontes

The aim of this text is to discuss the different meanings attributed to notions of historical sources and documents from the nineteenth century, when history was constituted as a discipline. It is important to point out the centrality of this issue to the different conceptions about the production of knowledge in this field.

Razão e paixão: necessidade e contingência na construção da vida ética

This text, essayistic character, aims to make some reflections on the dispute or supposed conflict that exists between two elements that have become essential in the constitution of the philosophical domain, in order to assess their contribution in the ethical field. On the one hand, we find the rational dimension, which is marked and has acquired certain predominance in western thought. On the other hand, the dimension of passion, that throughout the history of philosophy, has been subject to exclusion and devaluation, making it as if it were an obstacle to the formulation of ideas and universal values true and substantial. If one looks at the world seeing them or giving it a necessary and essential character, the other tends to recognize the contingent aspect of reality, seeing in it the possibility of accidental and uncertain.

Ensino de jornalismo: perfil profissional, regionalização das habilidades técnicas e competências

From 2002 on, when the curricular flexibility was ruled by the Education Ministry, the courses of Journalism in Brazil, more dedicated to improve teaching quality, have tried to adapt its curricular program schedules to regional realities. In this article, they aim to show how Journalism teaching is being provided in the Country and, at the same time, what students think of the disciplines and what do specialists and the press expect from them.

Contribuições à análise de qualidade do jornalismo na comunicação pública digital

Scientific research has shown remarkable advances in the formulation of criteria for assessing the quality of journalism practiced in the commercial media and public broadcasting, comprising aspects such as management models, business principles, parameters to the assessment of results and exercise of social responsibility. However, there are fewer investigations on the practice of journalism in digital public communication formats explored by government web portals. The contribution of this paper lies in a proposal of elements for the construction of parameters for evaluating the quality of journalism in the digital public communication. The proposal is inspired by criteria for evaluating the quality of commercial media and public broadcasting and suggests means for its application in the journalism practiced in the context of government web portals.

Educação a distância na sociedade da informação: reflexões acerca dos processos de comunicação, ensino e aprendizagem na sala de aula virtual

Information and communication technologies (ICT) pervade the daily lives of people affecting relations and social subsystems. Education is not unrelated to this process and in this scenario the distance education (EaD). Considering as a starting point the information society and its characteristics, the objective of this paper was to analyze the relationship between the new information and communication technologies, teaching and learning in the virtual classroom, seeking to understand what is the design of teaching and learning inherent in the current generation of EaD. Thus, by means of analytical, descriptive and exploratory research, bibliographic and qualitative approach oriented, it was concluded that ICT has a very important role in the context of EaD, allowing the creation of interactive virtual learning environments that enable communication between teachers, tutors and students, making possible the Exchange and sharing of key information on the teaching and learning process.

Novas formas de comunicação no século XXI: o fenômeno da cultura participativa

O jornalismo econômico por meio da imprensa alternativa: bundas e a acessibilidade da informação

This article aims to analyze the content expressed in the weekly Bundas and show how this addressed the economic issues in Brazil in the period 1999-2001. Through this study, we will seek to understand how the printed addressed the economic issues and the language employed by evidence how the vehicle was differed from the others in the category accessibility. The economic journalism has a way of approach often incomprehensible by readers, so the analysis of Bundas show the role of that journalism to the society and the importance of it becoming available to the reading public.

Proposta de trilha interpretativa para a Floresta Estadual Edmundo Navarro de Andrade (FEENA) - Rio Claro

Within the current context of environmental degradation, primarily caused by unsustainable pat terns of production and consumption (AGENDA 21, 1992), the Protected Areas (PAs) are considered internationally as one of the most successful measures for the conservat ion of biodiversity, according to the Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The city of Rio Claro (Sao Paulo, Brazi l ) has a significant conservation area in both environmental aspects as historical and cultural, the State Forest 'Edmundo Navarro de Andrade' (FEENA). Beyond the conservation measures, there is a need to develop environmental education that encourages community participation and appreciation in the unit 's maintenance and protection, as well as provide moments of reflection that could conduct perceptual changes, behavioral, attitudinal and evaluative on relations between human beings and their environment . This work brings the proposal to create an interpretive trail in the area of public use of FEENA to contribute to the Unit Management Plan in order to make it an Environmental Education tool. To prepare the planning of the interpretive trail, a deep bibliographic and cartographic review was performed on the subject. It was applied questionnaires in order to know the visitors better and map the features of public visitation, as well as map the visitor preferences about how they would like to receive information on the area and expose field studies in the track site. The trail was traced taking into account the environmental and social aspects, we propose a track suspended above the ground, in order to affect as little as possible and to include the area in the context of PAs people with reduced mobility and visually impaired

Análise das projeções de mudanças climáticas do quinto relatório do IPCC dentro das áreas protegidas brasileiras

Entre os impactos das mudanças climáticas previstas para este século estão as possíveis alterações no padrão de distribuição de espécies, comunidades, e até mesmo biomas. Tais impactos ocorrerão, sem distinção, tanto dentro como fora de áreas protegidas. No Brasil, as unidades de conservação (UCs) estão organizadas segundo o Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC). Porém, a lei federal 9985/2000 que rege o SNUC não contempla a ocorrência de mudanças climáticas e as possíveis ações de manejo para contornar o problema dentro delas. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa pretende, de forma pioneira, iniciar a investigação das mudanças climáticas a ocorrerem dentro das áreas protegidas (AP) em âmbito nacional. Para isso, fez-se uma análise geográfica das mudanças de temperatura e precipitação oriundas de vários modelos climáticos utilizados pelo IPCC no seu quinto relatório dentro das áreas compreendidas dentro das UCs cadastradas no SNUC e Terras Indígenas. Tal análise pautou-se pelos diversos tipos de áreas protegidas e também pelas macrorregiões geográficas do Brasil. Nossos resultados mostram que as APs passíveis de mudanças climáticas mais extremas (aumento de temperatura > 3ºC e redução de precipitação >50mm/mês) são aquelas que contemplam a presença de populações tradicionais na região Norte e Centro-Oeste do país. Ao final do projeto os resultados do projeto foram apresentados em Brasília no Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade. Tal interação demonstrou a inexistência de uma estratégia do governo federal para a adaptação das áreas protegidas Brasileiras aos efeitos de mudanças climáticas futuras

Holocarboxylase Synthetase-dependent Biotinylation of Histone H4

Holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) catalyzes the binding of biotin to lysine (K) residues in histones H3 and H4. Histone biotinylation marks play important roles in the repression of genes and retrotransposons. Preliminary studies suggested that K16 in histone H4 is a target for biotinylation by HCS. Here we demonstrated that H4K16bio is overrepresented in repeat regions {pericentromeric alpha satellite repeats; long terminal repeats (LTR)} compared with euchromatin promoters. H4K16bio was also enriched in the repressed interleukin-2 gene promoter. The enrichment at LTR22 and promoter 1 of the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) depended on biotin supply; and was significantly lower in fibroblasts from an HCS-deficient patient compared with an HCS wild-type control. We conclude that H4K16bio is a real phenomenon and plays a role in the transcriptional repression of repeats and genes. HCS catalyzes the covalent binding of biotin to carboxylases, in addition to its role as a histone biotinyl ligase. HCS null individuals are not viable whereas HCS deficiency is linked to developmental delays and phenotypes such as short life span and low stress resistance. Here, we developed a 96-well plate assay for high-throughput analysis of HCS based on the detection of biotinylated p67 using IRDye-streptavidin and infrared spectroscopy. We demonstrated that the catalytic activity of rHCS depends on temperature and time, and proposed optimal substrate and enzyme concentrations to ensure ideal measurement of rHCS activity and its kinetics. Additionally, we demonstrated that this assay is sensitive enough to detect biotinylation of p67 by endogenous HCS from Jurkat lymphoid cells.
