A Case Study of the Ellison Model's Use of Mentoring as an Approach Toward Inclusive Community Building

The Ellison Executive Mentoring Inclusive Community Building (ICB) Model is a paradigm for initiating and implementing projects utilizing executives and professionals from a variety of fields and industries, university students, and pre-college students. The model emphasizes adherence to ethical values and promotes inclusiveness in community development. It is a hierarchical model in which actors in each succeeding level of operation serve as mentors to the next. Through a three-step process--content, process, and product--participants must be trained with this mentoring and apprenticeship paradigm in conflict resolution, and they receive sensitivitiy and diversity training, through an interactive and dramatic exposition. The content phase introduces participants to the model's philosophy, ethics, values and methods of operation. The process used to teach and reinforce its precepts is the mentoring and apprenticeship activities and projects in which the participants engage and whose end product demontrates their knowledge and understanding of the model's concepts. This study sought to ascertain from the participants' perspectives whether the model's mentoring approach is an effective means of fostering inclusiveness, based upon their own experiences in using it. The research utilized a qualitative approach and included data from field observations, individual and group interviews, and written accounts of participants' attitudes. Participants complete ICB projects utilizing the Ellison Model as a method of development and implementation. They generally perceive that the model is a viable tool for dealing with diversity issues whether at work, at school, or at home. The projects are also instructional in that whether participants are mentored or seve as apprentices, they gain useful skills and knowledge about their careers. Since the model is relatively new, there is ample room for research in a variety of areas including organizational studies to dertmine its effectiveness in combating problems related to various kinds of discrimination.

Metrópole digital: o jovem aprendiz na educação tecnológica

This thesis was elaborated in the scenario of Digital Metropolis Institute (IMD) – a supplementary unit at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in the training of personnel with technical and higher level courses whose technical level training is associated with a process of digital inclusion, with the purpose of attracting young people to this area, with emphasis on Software and Hardware Development. It aims to investigate the cognitive change of young apprentice on technological education and his/her entrance into the labor market, through the formation and the social inclusion proposed by the Instituto Metrópole Digital; understanding the juvenile subjectivity production through the Instituto Metrópole Digital’s education by performance in the labor market; recognizing the Brazilian professional qualification public policies for youth and identifying the role of Tutoring in the learning process during the course of formation of the young apprentice of the technological education proposed by the Instituto Metrópole Digital.The clipping of the object of investigation was the process of cognitive change and constitution of subjectivity of the young apprentice in information technology (IT) in the IMD. It was searched support in theory Freireana as proposal that problematizes the policies and the process of formation and professional qualification, in the perspective of a citizen and liberating consciousness. By qualitative and ethnographic nature, descriptive-explanatory, it counts with the participation of young people, high school students from public and private schools, aged between 15 and 18 years. There are strong aspects: a cognitive change on the young apprentice of technological education onto overdrive high school as the student of the Instituto Metrópole Digital; it happened the social integration for those who remain in the course, both in the neighborhood where they reside and at school where he attended high school, the young man is recognized and becomes reference to other young, favoring him a life projection which when the activities of mentoring is learning motivator, it exerts a positive influence to the young on the continuity of studies, it provides intellectual and institutional affiliation and continuity in the investments to the academic life for a better insertion in the labor market, which refers to the modification of the life project-invest in academic training, in exchange for a technical job in the labor market. There are weak aspects: the absence of professor in the course, in his most important role, which involves awareness of his/her condition in action, in explicit position that the professional practice constitutes as this constitution requires reciprocity of its students and the context in which it operates; fragile formation of mentoring, absence of dialogues in the classroom that favors the formation of subject learning, mainly in guiding action, mediator of the young; There is a lack of methodological proposal to develop real projects on the labor market with problem solving and collaborative learning. It considers that without converting information into knowledge cannot discern clearly enough that there is no direct causal relationship between Professional and technological Education and the level of employability of the young worker certificate. It suggests to the evasion: a greater knowledge of the reality of the student of the Institute Metropolis Digital; better knowledge of youth and their expectations of life project; the Tutoring will be Teacher-tutor; investing in employability conditions effective the young into the labor market.

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene strata of the Pamplona Basin and surrounding areas (Navarre, western Pyrenees)

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene (Bartonian and Priabonian) sedimentary succession of the Pamplona Basin are described. This succession was accumulated in the western part of the South Pyrenean peripheral foreland basin and extends from deep-marine turbiditic (Ezkaba Sandstone Formation) to deltaic (Pamplona Marl, Ardanatz Sandstone and Ilundain Marl formations) and marginal marine deposits (Gendulain Formation). The micropalaeontological content is high. It is dominated by foraminifera, and common ostracods and other microfossils are also present. The fossil ichnoasssemblages include at least 23 ichnogenera and 28 ichnospecies indicative of Nereites, Cruziana, Glossifungites and ?Scoyenia-Mermia ichnofacies. Body macrofossils of 78 taxa corresponding to macroforaminifera, sponges, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, annelids, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms and vertebrates have been identified. Both the number of ichnotaxa and of species (e. g. bryozoans, molluscs and condrichthyans) may be considerably higher. Body fossil assemblages are comparable to those from the Eocene of the Nord Pyrenean area (Basque Coast), and also to those from the Eocene of the west-central and eastern part of South Pyrenean area (Aragon and Catalonia). At the European scale, the molluscs assemblages seem endemic from the Pyrenean area, although several Tethyan (Italy and Alps) and Northern elements (Paris basin and Normandy) have been recorded. Palaeontological data of studied sedimentary units fit well with the shallowing process that throughout the middle and late Eocene occurs in the area, according to the sedimentological and stratigraphical data.

Legal Translation from English to Spanish in the Classroom: Problems when Translating Standard Formulas of Expression

The purpose of this paper is to identify problems when translating standard formulas of expression in English to Spanish legal translation. To achieve the goal, a total of 250 Spanish translations were analyzed of 10 sentences from legal texts in English. The degree of difficulty posed by the translation of these formulas is confirmed by the results obtained, which is related not so much to the intrinsic meaning of the words that compose them, but to their contextual meaning. An eclectic approach that combines discourse analysis with contrastive linguistics is proposed, and some specific didactic guidelines are indicated to facilitate the translation teaching of these standard formulas of expression. Lexical interpretation and contextual recreation allow the apprentice translator to make progress with the translation of these phrases and to improve his/her attitude when facing them to achieve a successful semantic and contextual interpretation, that is to say, getting the closest natural equivalent while respecting the genius of the language.

BIJAGOS ARCHIPELAGO: Impacts and challenges for environmental sustainability

The Archipelago of Bijagos in Guinea-Bissau is currently subject to numerous external impacts affecting their secular equilibrium. The islands were never contemplated by the colonial development, with the exception of two modest ports in Bubaque and Bolama. The latter place was the capital of the country from 1913 to 1941. The archipelago has attracted increasing interest on the part of economic agents, most of which are incompatible with the guarantee of sustainable development. There has been a general impoverishment as regards the preservation of marine resources, particularly with regard to the internal demographic pressure from a population that has doubled since 1981 and due to other external factors related to the neighboring and subsequent migration depletion of resources not renewable. The article analyzes the main vulnerabilities that the archipelago is currently facing and how natural resources have been preserved. The article follows an interdisciplinary approach between different areas of knowledge especially in projects involving both different academic fields (biology, ecology, geography, anthropology and history), for the nonscientific practices that include actors and institutions.

L’ichtyofaune dans l’organisation biologique d’un système paralique de type lagunaire, la Ria d’Aveiro (Portugal), en 1987-1988 et 1999-2000

Cette étude concerne un écosystème paralique, la lagune d’Aveiro (Portugal). Elle vise à déterminer l’organisation des peuplements de poissons en fonction des caractéristiques et du fonctionnement de cet écosystème. L’ichtyofaune a été échantillonnée mensuellement en 10 stations d’août 1987 à juillet 1988 et de janvier 1999 à décembre 2000, avec une seine de plage traditionnelle. La répartition des peuplements de poissons est étudiée au moyen de descripteurs populationnels (richesses spécifique et familiale, densité, biomasse et indice de diversité) et d’analyses statistiques (groupements et ordination). La lagune d’Aveiro présente de fortes variations, dans l’espace et le temps, de ses paramètres physico- chimiques reflétant ainsi les variations climatiques annuelles. Si l’on considère la mobilité des poissons et la géomorphologie et l’hydrologie du système étudié, nous pouvions nous attendre à une forte homogénéité de la distribution des poissons. À l’inverse, une diminution de l’influence marine a pour conséquence une diminution des richesses spécifiques et familiales, de la densité et de la biomasse. Nous avons également observé une modification de composition de l’assemblage de poissons et la présence d’espèces dominantes caractéristiques des différents niveaux de confinement (taux de renouvellement des eaux marines en un point donné du système). Le peuplement de poissons présente une organisation semblable à la zonation biologique, indépendamment des paramètres physico-chimiques tels que la salinité, décrite par la macrofaune benthique et induite par le confinement. La comparaison des résultats avec des données obtenues douze ans plus tôt, montre que l’organisation générale de la lagune est demeurée inchangée, illustrant ainsi la stabilité des écosystèmes paraliques. De plus, des modifications du niveau de confinement dans les marges nord et sud, induites principalement par des changements locaux de l’hydrodynamisme, ont été constatées. Le déconfinement de la zone nord est la conséquence de l’entretien des canaux de navigation par dragage. À l’inverse, le confinement de la zone sud est l’évolution naturelle des bassins paraliques soumis souvent à une sédimentation élevée et rapide. Cette étude montre que l’organisation du peuplement de poissons valide le concept du confinement pour l’organisation biologique des milieux paraliques, et peut être employé pour expliquer les changements de ces écosystèmes.

Les stratégies d’exploitation de l’archipel côtier du Labrador : une étude de cas du 18e siècle au site d’Ikkeghasarsuk

La fin du 18e siècle était une période dynamique au Labrador. À cette époque, le phénomène climatique nommé le Petit Âge glaciaire affectait grandement l’étendue de la banquise côtière. L’arrivée des missionnaires et des objets européens enclencha une réorganisation des rôles sociaux chez les Inuits. L’établissement hivernal d’Ikkeghasarsuk, connu sous le code Borden HdCg-23 et le nom de site officiel Koliktalik-6, est composé principalement de deux maisons semi-souterraines construites avant 1776 sur un site dorsétien. La présente étude explore les stratégies d’occupation du territoire par l’analyse des restes fauniques de ces deux maisons. Les espèces de phoques chassées et leurs niches écologiques indiquent que les occupants du site exploitaient surtout les phoques présents dans les eaux libres de glace à l’automne, les phoques annelés au sina l’hiver et les phoques annelés sur la banquise côtière au printemps. Le site d’Ikkeghasarsuk, placé sur une île dénudée et balayée par le vent, aurait permis d’avoir un accès privilégié aux ressources marines diverses, peu importe les conditions climatiques.

Géodiversité sous-marine de Nouvelle-Calédonie. 1ère partie

The object of this article is to offer a synthesis of the knowledge clarifying the originality and the diversity of the submarine geological formations of the New Caledonian EEZ. A reminder is given onto the geologic history of the region, based upon the dislocation of the Gondwana Continent, the opening of the Tasman Sea, the presence of submarine volcanism, the setting up of heavy peridotitic rocks, the building up of the Fairway and Lord Howe Ridges and of sedimentary basins, the formation of volcanic domes and sea-mounts or guyots, the subduction along the Vanuatu Trench, the uplift of the Loyalty Islands, the development of carbonated ptatforms around the islands etc.... Of this complex history ensues an exceptional submarine geo-diversity. After this presentation the article clarifies the methods and the tools used in marine geosciences to map, explore, observe, analyze, sample, that they are embarked or are autonomous, teleoperated or inhabited systems. A chapter describes the programs which were set up since about forty years and the results obtained as well as the scientific teams concerned with. In conclusion, based on the unpublished character of this geo-diversity, the article introduces the second text to come in a next issue of theTai Kona magazine, text which will focus on the scientific, economic (mineral resources), environmental (deep biodiversity) and risks (seismicity) challenges that are worn by one of the most original submarine geologic context in the world.

LIVE-Fab – CNC-Programmierung und Montageplanung in einer virtuellen Lernfabrik. Konzepte, Grundlagen, Technik, Anwendung

Am Institut für Arbeitswissenschaft und Betriebsorganisation (ifab) Universität Karlsruhe wird zurzeit das Projekt LIVE-Fab (Lernen in der virtuellen Fabrik) gemeinsam mit der Fachhochschule Landshut, Fachbereich Maschinenbau, durchgeführt. Dieses Projekt wird vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) im Rahmen des Programms „Neue Medien in der Bildung“ gefördert. Das Ziel des Projektes ist die Entwicklung eines anschaulichen Lehr- und Lernmodells für eine Fabrik als funktionierendes Ganzes. Dazu soll im Rechner eine Modellfabrik mit den Bereichen Wareneingang, Fertigung, Montage und Qualitätssicherung abgebildet werden. Die Fabrik mit ihren Anlagen (Maschinen, Transportsysteme etc.) und Materialflüsse soll in einem 3D-Modell visuell erfassbar sein. Die Grundlagen zur Schaffung einer virtuell funktionierenden Produktion einschließlich Anlagenplanung, Arbeitsvorbereitung, die Mechanismen, Kundenbestellungen und Qualitätsmanagement sollen in einzelnen Fallstudien den Studierenden vermittelt werden. Den Studierenden aus den Fachbereichen Maschinenbau, Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, Elektrotechnik und Betriebswirtschaft mit technischer Ausrichtung soll mit der virtuellen Fabrik ein Werkzeug an die Hand gegeben werden, mit dem sie die komplexen, ineinander verzahnten Vorgänge eines Produktionsprozesses besser verstehen lernen. Dies bedeutet, dass in der virtuellen Fabrik die inhaltlichen Aspekte mehrerer vorgelagerter Vorlesungen kombiniert werden und dadurch ein Verbund zum Verständnis der Produktionsprozesse geschaffen wird.(DIPF/Orig.)
