eLab, a Personal Learning Environment for the Green Open Innovation Platform

Open Innovation is a relatively new concept which involves a change of paradigm in the R+D+i processes of companies whose aim is to create new technologies or new processes. If to this change, we add the need for innovation in the new green and sustainability economy, and we set out to create a collaborative platform with a learning space where this can happen, we will be facing an overwhelming challenge which requires the application of intelligent programming technologies and languages at the service of education.The aim of the Green IDI (Green Open Innovation) ¿ Economic development and job creation vector in SMEs, based on the environment and sustainability project is to create a platform where companies and individual researchers can perform open innovation processes in the field of sustainability and the environment.The Green IDI (Green Open Innovation) project is funded under the program INNPACTO by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain and is being developed through a consortium formed by the following institutions: GRUPO ICA; COMPARTIA; GRUPO INTERCOM; CETAQUA and the Instituto de Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial (IIIA) from Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). Also the consortium include FUNDACIÓ PRIVADA BARCELONA DIGITAL; PIMEC and UNIVERSITAT OBERTA DE CATALUNYA (UOC).Sustainability and positive action for the environment are considered the principle vector of economic development for companies. As Nicolás Scoli says (2007) ¿in short, preventing unnecessary consumption and the efficient consumption of resources means producing greater wealth with less. Both effects lead to reduced pollution linked to production and consumption¿.The Spanish Sustainable Development Strategy (EEDS) plan defends consumption and sustainable production linked to social and economic development by adhering to the commitment not to endanger ecosystems and abolishing the idea that economic growth is directly proportional to the deterioration of the environment.Uniting the Open Innovation and New Green Economy concepts leads to the "Green Open Innovation¿ Platform creation project.This article analyses the concept of open innovation and defines the importance of the new green and sustainable economy. Lastly, it proposes the creation of eLab. The eLab is defined as an Open Green Innovation Platform personal and collaborative education space which is fed by the interactions of users and which enables innovation processes based on new green economy concepts to be carried out.The creation of a personal learning environment such as eLab on the Green Open Innovation Platform meets the need to offer a collaborative space where platform users can improve their skills regarding the environment and sustainability based on collaborative synergies through Information and Communication Technologies.

Conceitos de química dos ingressantes nos cursos de graduação do Instituto de Química da Universidade de São Paulo

A diagnostic instrument was developed to evaluate the basic chemistry concepts held by freshmen students of the three Chemistry undergraduate courses offered by the University of São Paulo. The instrument minimizes the use of algorithms or memorization by students and values high-order cognitive skills. Analysis of the students' performances reveals systematic use of "displacement reaction" as an algorithm and a mechanical use of Le Chatelier's Principle. Failure in comprehending the chemical equation and chemical language drives students to alternative models for chemical reactions in aqueous solution. For instance, reaction would occur between "ionic pairs" and/or between species situated in separate compartments.

O instituto de coimbra e a análise química de águas minerais em portugal na segunda metade do Século XIX

O Instituto, journal published by the Institute of Coimbra (IC), an academic society founded in this city in 1852, contains many articles on hydrology and chemical analysis of water for human consumption, written by well-known Portuguese chemists and physicians. Based on these papers, we analyse the evolution of hydrology in Portugal throughout the second half of the 19th century, with emphasis on the chemical studies of mineral waters by the physicians Augusto da Costa Simões, Francisco Alves and José Epifânio Marques, and by the chemists Joaquim dos Santos e Silva, António Ferreira da Silva and Charles Lepierre, all of them members of the IC.

Concepções sobre currículo de formadores de professores: o curso de licenciatura em Química do Instituto de Química da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro

In this paper, we discussed the conceptions of curriculum of teachers' trainers from de course of Chemistry from de Chemistry Institute and from the Education School of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. We understand that the curriculum results from a social construction, so, we intent to comprehend how happen the constitution of the course's curriculum, based on documents and interviews with the subjects of the research. The study showed that there were competitions for status, resources and territories between the Chemistry Institute and the Education School when the course was created, as well as there were internal competitions in the creation of the disciplines depending on the department of origin of the teachers.

Hydrozoa e Scyphozoa existentes no instituto paulista de oceanografia

Continuing the inventory of the Coelenterate Fauna of the Brazilian coast, 23 species of Hydrozoa and a Scyphomedusa are recorded from different points of the coast aproximately between 22º and 24º lat. S. Of these, 14 species were already known from other points of the coast and the remaining 10 were unknown from this latitude. Two species are here listed as new, they are: Halocordyle fragHis and Calicella gabriellae. 1. - Halocordyle fragilis, Stechow's (1923) correction of the generic name Pennaria has been followed, shows remarkable distinctive specific characters such as: alternate distribution of the cladii which do not lie all in the same plane, they are inserted at random on the hydrocaulus with a tendency towards a spiral dexiotropic distribution, sparse distribution of the pedicels which are alternate and not all located on the same side of the hydrocladium, and, finally, the long, wiry aspect of the colony which is as brittle as light glass. This characteristics are not sufficient, to my belief, to establish a new genus, since the polyps and the gonophores are entirely of the Halocordyle type, but they confer upon the species a very peculiar habitus. 2. - Calicella gabriellae forms erect hydrocauli which are extremely soft and flexuose, with hydrothecate and intermediate internodes. The thecae are deep, cylindrical, with a conical base, there are 10-12 long and narrow opercular valves. The gonangia are small, conical, with a short distal digitiform process. The included sporosac exhibits maturing ova. Dynamena heteroclonta described by Jarvis (1922) as a new species, is here considered as a new form of the very variable species Dynamena quadridentata. Schizotricha billardi nom. nov., is specifically separated from Sch. diaphana (Heller) to which it had been identified up to know. The Brazilian colonies agree with the French Somaliland specimens described by Billard (1904) and they are reunited in a new species named after the French worker. The main difference, between the two mentioned species are: shape and size of the gonothecae, of the thecae and of the nematophores. A description is given of all the species not previously recorded from the Brazilian coast as well as biological observations on Olindias sambaquiensis whose shoals during winter months are very large and may entangle partially the fishermen's nets. Its feeding and swimming habits are described and the species proves to be an excellent laboratory animal both for class and research purposes, for it easily endures long transportation (even up to 12 hours during summer months) as well as unoxygenized acquaria and nevertheless greadily feeds on any animal food.

Discursos médicos em construção: um estudo com residentes em Obstetrícia/Ginecologia do Instituto Fernandes Figueira/Fiocruz

Este estudo discute a construção do discurso especializado, a partir do verbalizado por médicos após dois anos de residência médica em Obstetrícia/Ginecologia no Instituto Fernandes Figueira, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. A pesquisa foi operacionalizada em duas etapas: observação participante de reuniões clínicas da Obstetrícia e da Ginecologia e construção de fontes orais. Foi realizada análise semiótica das notas de campo e do material transcrito das entrevistas. Os resultados giram em torno de dois eixos: a caracterização do perfil do médico obstetra/ginecologista e a convivência com o normal e o estranho no contato com as pacientes, como integrantes da construção do discurso especializado, no ambiente escolhido para a pesquisa. Conclui-se que a residência conduz ao discurso especializado, escudado, principalmente, na utilização de exames complementares, como os que fornecem imagens, visto que tais exames são percebidos como revelando objetivamente o corpo real. Tal fato infunde segurança nos residentes, mas, por outro lado, afasta-os da atenção à escuta da história da paciente e da composição da narrativa médica, fragmentando o processo de exercício da semiologia clínica

Câncer gástrico precoce: revisão de 47 casos do instituto nacional de câncer nos últimos cinco anos

OBJETIVO: O presente estudo visa estudar as características dos tumores gástricos precoces diagnosticados em um grande centro de referência no tratamento do câncer gástrico em nosso país, o Instituto Nacional de Câncer. MÉTODO: Analisamos retrospectivamente os casos de câncer gástrico precoce da Seção de Cirurgia Abdominopélvica do Hospital do Câncer I no período de 1995 a 1999. Resgatamos 47 prontuários de pacientes portadores de câncer gástrico precoce, dos 296 pacientes submetidos à ressecção gástrica neste período. RESULTADOS: Em nosso hospital a incidência corresponde a cerca de 15,8% dos pacientes submetidos a gastrectomias por câncer gástrico. Constatamos uma incidência de 1,1:1 com relação ao sexo F/M e com morbidade de 19,1% e mortalidade de 4,2%. Houve uma predominância do tipo IIc + III e com 27,6% de positividade para o Helicobacter pylori. CONCLUSÃO: O câncer gástrico precoce representa o melhor estágio para a ressecção nos tumores do estômago, porém, infelizmente, ainda é pouco diagnosticado em nosso meio, apesar dos avanços nos métodos de diagnóstico.

Esofagectomia de resgate após quimiorradioterapia radical exclusiva: resultados do departamento de cirurgia abdôminopélvica do Instituto Nacional de Câncer

OBJETIVO: Relatar a experiência e os resultados da Seção de Cirurgia Abdôminopélvica do Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA) com a esofagectomia de resgate em paciente portador de câncer de esôfago recidivado após tratamento quimiorradioterápico exclusivo. MÉTODO: Foram analisados retrospectivamente 14 pacientes portadores de câncer de esôfago recidivado e que foram submetidos à esofagectomia de resgate entre março de 1999 e maio de 2006. Todos os pacientes incluídos no estudo receberam tratamento primário quimiorradioterápico radical exclusivo conforme protocolo RTOG 85-01 e apresentaram persistência ou recidiva de doença. RESULTADOS: A idade média foi de 63 anos (39-72 anos). Oito pacientes eram do sexo masculino e seis pacientes do sexo feminino. Nove pacientes apresentavam o tumor localizado no esôfago médio e cinco pacientes apresentavam doença no esôfago distal, sendo carcinoma epidermóide em 12 pacientes e adenocarcinoma em dois pacientes. A mediana do tempo cirúrgico foi de 305 minutos (240-430 minutos). A ressecção completa do tumor (cirurgia R0) foi realizada em 13 pacientes e somente um paciente apresentou doença residual macroscópica em ápice pulmonar. A morbidade total da série foi de 69,2 %. A mortalidade operatória foi zero (todos os pacientes evoluíram para alta hospitalar). CONCLUSÃO: A esofagectomia de resgate demonstrou-se factível tecnicamente porém apresenta elevada morbidade operatória. Esta modalidade cirúrgica corresponde atualmente ao melhor tratamento disponível para se obter cura nos casos de tumor recidivado ou que tenho persistido com doença após quimiorradioterapia radical exclusiva. Todos os outros tipos de tratamento são considerados paliativos e com resultados de sobre-vida desapontadores.
