Formação inicial de professores: uma análise da experiência do Campus da UFPA de Breves/Marajó

A presente Dissertação intitulada, „”Formação inicial de professores: uma análise da experiência do Campus da UFPA de Breves/Marajó” tem como finalidade investigar a política de formação de professores, tendo como questão de pesquisa: A formação inicial de professores do curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Pará, a partir da Interiorização em específico do Campus de Breves/Marajó estabelece uma conexão com a realidade dos sujeitos em formação, com vistas a sua atuação de forma crítica no exercício da docência? Partimos da perspectiva de que a análise sobre a formação de professores pressupõe considerarmos a conjuntura e estrutura social vigente. Assim sendo, fundamentou-se nas bases teórico-metodológicas do materialismo histórico dialético para relacionar o singular com a totalidade social, buscando compreender o objeto de pesquisa em questão, em suas determinações históricas contraditórias. A pesquisa se caracteriza como um estudo de caso tendo como lócus de investigação a Universidade Federal do Pará, Campus de Breves/Marajó. Para realização da pesquisa foi utilizado documentos que constituem a base legal que orientam as determinações para formação do professor da educação básica em nível superior. Também, para a apreensão da totalidade, utilizaram-se documentos elaborados pelo Grupo de Trabalho de Formação de Professores da ANPED, além de pesquisas produzidas no âmbito deste GT, bem como documentos institucionais da UFPA, como o Documento do Programa REUNI, Relatórios da Unidade pesquisada, entre os anos de 2009 a 2012 e o Projeto Curricular do Curso de Pedagogia. Com objetivo de analisar se a formação recebida estabelece uma conexão com a realidade dos sujeitos em formação, com vistas a sua atuação de forma crítica no exercício da docência, realizou-se entrevistas com egressos do curso de Pedagogia dos anos de 1995 a 2006. De forma não conclusiva, considera-se que a Formação Inicial de Professores a partir da Interiorização da UFPA foi ofertada sob condições precarizadas, provocada pelo falta de recursos para materialização das ações. Mesmo tendo sido redimensionada pelo Programa REUNI, a Formação Inicial de Professores da Interiorização apresenta dificuldades para ofertar um ensino de qualidade com vista à atuação crítica do egresso no campo de atuação do trabalho docente.

O efeito da fragmentação insular na paisagem e comunidade arbórea em ilhas na Amazônia

A construção de usinas hidrelétricas tem sido um novo vetor de fragmentação florestal no globo, sobretudo na Amazônia, que possui várias barragens em fase de construção atualmente, além das planejadas. A formação de reservatórios em usinas hidrelétricas proporciona paisagens fragmentadas, com a criação de ilhas artificiais (fragmentos), que possuem a peculiaridade de estarem cercada por uma matriz mais resistente para a maioria das espécies, diferente dos fragmentos terrestres, tendo um efeito direto na redução da biodiversidade. Esta pesquisa buscou avaliar a paisagem insular do Lago de Tucuruí, por meio da quantificação da estrutura da paisagem, como subsidio para implicações de conservação. Concomitantemente, avaliou-se os efeitos da fragmentação insular sobre a comunidade arbórea, através da estrutura da paisagem e efeito de borda, ambos têm sido um dos processos ecológicos mais impactantes na diversidade biológica em paisagens fragmentadas. Os resultados indicaram o arranjo espacial pode ser uma abordagem utilizada para os mecanismos de conservação em barragens, mas devendo considerar aspectos específicos das ilhas. Por sua vez, a vegetação ainda não estar respondendo a estrutura da paisagem atual, estando em uma fase de débito de extinção, sendo o efeito de borda o principal fator para formação das comunidades vegetais.

A estrutura produtiva da soja e seus impactos: um quadro comparativo entre Paraguai, Argentina e Uruguai

The presented text aims to evaluate the causes that led to the formation of the current agrarian structure in Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay as well as the characteristics of the agro-export model that takes place in these countries, which is based on production and export of soybeans. Because of its contemporary importance and represent the bulk of agricultural production in the countries under study, is established the objective of identifying the particularities and commonalities between these soybean production, with regard to its production structure and the benefits and impacts generated by this. Finally, statistical historical data are presented, enabling this comparison, showing the development and crucial moments for the establishment of the current standard

Análise dos problemas de comunicação permeados pela cultura organizacional e estrutura de gestão de projetos em uma empresa na área da construção

In a supplier of building products were identified difficulties in communication between the Product Development area and other areas of the company that could spoil projects and processes. The process of product development is important in placing the company in the market, and through research and planning, design new products and seek to comply with the costumer in relation to deadlines, quality and cost-effective. The development of a product involves many areas in the company and communication is essential in this process. The goal of this study was to identify possible communication problems permeated by organizational culture and structure of project management working in the company. A survey was applied using a Likert scale in three different areas of the company, with questions including the topics: communication, culture and organizational structure of project management and subsequently conducted the median test and the Spearman test to analysis of responses. With the understanding and analysis of the survey it was confirmed the difficulties of communication between people and the areas of the company, besides there is an influence of the type of culture acting in the company and the current management structure of the project in a good performance of internal communication

Projeto pedagógico e estrutura curricular de um curso de odontologia: análise crítica fundamentada na percepção acadêmica

Considering that the current pedagogical project for the Dentistry course at FOA-Unesp was structured in 2001, a year before the national resolution that introduced the new curricular guidelines for the dental field, the aim of this study was to analyze critically this document and assess the academic perception of the pedagogical project, as well as the current curricular structure. A previously tested and validated semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain the needed information, and a documentary analysis was conducted. The questionnaire was drafted based on data from the National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) and Unified Health System (SUS) guidelines. The sample consisted of almost all the graduating students of 2007 (n = 61). Of these, 95% had no knowledge of the pedagogical project for the undergraduate course; 53% found the integration between the disciplines offered by the course insufficient; 66% pointed out that there was duplication of the revised contents; 41% said that the interdisciplinary relation was unsatisfactory, and 67.2% said they preferred the modular system of teaching. Furthermore, 55.7% of the students said that that the course does not fully cover the principles of completeness and resolution of actions, and 37.7% pointed out that clinical care was not humanized. As for the competence and skills needed to exercise the profession, the students admitted feeling secure about carrying out preventivecurative clinical actions, and feeling insecure about developing broad ranging actions, like managing and planning. Analysis of the documents showed a certain disagreement in the organization of the pedagogical project and the curricular structure, when confronted with the course of action set down by the National Curricular Guidelines. The data prove the urgent need to restructure the FOA-Unesp curriculum and confirm the importance of a continuous evaluation in higher education.

The Ecological Basis for Biogeographic Classification: an Example in Orchid Bees (Apidae: Euglossini)

Biogeography has been difficult to apply as a methodological approach because organismic biology is incomplete at levels where the process of formulating comparisons and analogies is complex. The study of insect biogeography became necessary because insects possess numerous evolutionary traits and play an important role as pollinators. Among insects, the euglossine bees, or orchid bees, attract interest because the study of their biology allows us to explain important steps in the evolution of social behavior and many other adaptive tradeoffs. We analyzed the distribution of morphological characteristics in Colombian orchid bees from an ecological perspective. The aim of this study was to observe the distribution of these attributes on a regional basis. Data corresponding to Colombian euglossine species were ordered with a correspondence analysis and with subsequent hierarchical clustering. Later, and based on community proprieties, we compared the resulting hierarchical model with the collection localities to seek to identify a biogeographic classification pattern. From this analysis, we derived a model that classifies the territory of Colombia into 11 biogeographic units or natural clusters. Ecological assumptions in concordance with the derived classification levels suggest that species characteristics associated with flight performance, nectar uptake, and social behavior are the factors that served to produce the current geographical structure.

Portfolios and pedagogy : an examination of ideology and use

Portfolio use in writing studies contexts is becoming ubiquitous and, as such, portfolios are in danger of being rendered meaningless and thus require that we more fully theorize and historicize portfolios. To this end, I examine portfolios: both the standardized portfolio used for assessment purposes and the personalized portfolio used for entering the job market. I take a critical look at portfolios as a form of technology and acknowledge some of the dangers of blindly using portfolios for gaining employment in the current economic structure of fast capitalism. As educators in the writing studies fields, it is paramount that instructors have a critical awareness of the consequences of portfolio creation on students as designers, lifelong learners, and citizens of a larger society. I argue that a better understanding of the pedagogical implications for portfolio use is imperative before implementing them in the classroom, and that a social-epistemic approach provides a valuable rethinking of portfolio use for assessment purposes. Further, I argue for the notions of meditation and transformation to be added alongside collection, selection, and reflection because they enable portfolio designers and evaluators alike to thoughtfully consider new ways of meaning-making and innovation. Also important and included with meditation and transformation is the understanding that students are ideologically positioned in the educational system. For them to begin recognizing their situatedness is a step toward becoming designers of change. The portfolio can be a site for that change, and a way for them to document their own learning and ways of making meaning over a lifetime.

Los dos 'campos' en el territorio argentino : Análisis crítico y estrategias de desarrollo rural

Las formas de inserción 'modernizante' de la agricultura científica aliada al agribusiness global eran un tema discutido en ámbitos acotados hasta que, a principios de 2008, se suscitó la discusión pública y mediática sobre los derechos de exportación de cereales y oleaginosas. Frente a este panorama, el presente artículo pretende contribuir al diseño de políticas públicas que se sustenten en una adecuada comprensión de la dinámica de acumulación presente en el sector agrario nacional. Pues, sin una apreciación del conjunto de actores involucrados en el agro, es imposible avanzar en la construcción de escenarios a futuro. el documento que se presenta tiene como objetivos particulares: I) discutir el heterogéneo perfil que asume contemporáneamente la estructura productiva y social del agro argentino; y II) describir lineamientos estratégicos de políticas de tierra, de crédito, fiscal, de precios, ambiental y tecnológica que deberían considerarse en las políticas públicas

Transformaciones urbanas en torno a las reales puertas de la Villa de Madrid (1656-1860)

La estructura urbana de Madrid comenzó a dibujarse con los primeros asentamientos fortificados del siglo IX. Sus posteriores ampliaciones estuvieron acotadas por los sucesivos recintos que delimitaron los contornos de una capital en constante expansión. De carácter inicialmente defensivo, luego fiscal y sanitario, estas estructuras estuvieron articuladas en torno a las puertas de acceso a la Villa, estableciendo un sistema general de cerramiento y comunicación que permitiera el control de personas y mercancías en su tránsito hacia el interior de la ciudad. La modestia inicial con que las puertas y tapias del recinto edificado en tiempos de Felipe IV desempeñaron sus funciones de espaldas al exterior de la Villa fue remplazada por un creciente protagonismo, de carácter simbólico y ornamental, que trascendió a su propia arquitectura para inspirar algunas de las importantes transformaciones urbanas operadas en su entorno. Relacionada principalmente con el ideal ilustrado de embellecimiento de la ciudad, la renovación de sus puertas principales se completaba con la reedificación y regularización de sus cercas, y la conformación de nuevos paseos en las afueras de la capital, cuyo trazado vertebrará en buena medida la ocupación de la periferia y la consiguiente definición de la trama urbana del Madrid de hoy. El presente trabajo de investigación indaga sobre la significación urbana de las Reales Puertas de la Villa de Madrid, a partir de la revisión de su establecimiento en los sucesivos recintos de la capital, con especial atención a las transformaciones urbanas operadas en ella desde la definición de su último límite hasta la proyección futura del Madrid ampliado según el anteproyecto de Carlos Mª de Castro. La observación conjunta de las componentes arquitectónica y urbana de las puertas de la Villa de Madrid se ofrece a partir de un relato cronológico de los hechos, fundamentado en su justificación documental y la secuencia visual registrada en la cartografía histórica de la ciudad. La incorporación de aportaciones gráficas de nueva elaboración, de carácter y alcance diversos, proporciona una superposición espacio-temporal que posibilita la lectura comparada de las arquitecturas de las Reales Puertas de la Villa de Madrid y de las transformaciones urbanas operadas a partir de ellas, determinantes en gran medida la configuración de la ciudad actual. ABSTRACT Madrid’s current urban structure has its roots in the first fortified settlements of the IX century. Its subsequent expansions due to the capital’s constant growth were limited by successive enclosures, built originally as a defense mechanism, but later used for fiscal and sanitary purposes as well. The construction of these structures pivoted around the gates that gave access to the city, establishing an enclosure that allowed control of both people and goods on their way into the city. The gates and walls originally built by Felipe IV performed their purpose with a modesty that was later replaced by an increasing symbolic and ornamental prominence, eventually surpassing their own architecture to inspire profound urban changes around them. With the purpose of embellishing the city, the main gates were renovated, the walls were rebuilt and standardized, and new avenues were laid out outside the city. These changes dictated in large part the settling on the suburbs and the resulting configuration of Madrid’s urban scene as we know it today. This research explores the urban significance of the Royal Gates of Madrid through the study of the enclosures that marked the limits of the city. Special attention is given to the urban changes since the last enclosure was established through to Carlos Mª de Castro’s draft for Madrid’s future projection. The architectonic and urban facets of Madrid’s gates are examined simultaneously in a series of chronological events, based on relevant documentation and the graphical record found in Madrid’s historic cartography. This thesis includes new graphic contributions, which allow the comparison of the architecture of the Royal Gates of Madrid as they evolved in time and space. These documents are essential in order to understand the urban transformations that took place based on the Gates, having largely determined the city’s current configuration.

Calmness of the Feasible Set Mapping for Linear Inequality Systems

In this paper we deal with parameterized linear inequality systems in the n-dimensional Euclidean space, whose coefficients depend continuosly on an index ranging in a compact Hausdorff space. The paper is developed in two different parametric settings: the one of only right-hand-side perturbations of the linear system, and that in which both sides of the system can be perturbed. Appealing to the backgrounds on the calmness property, and exploiting the specifics of the current linear structure, we derive different characterizations of the calmness of the feasible set mapping, and provide an operative expresion for the calmness modulus when confined to finite systems. In the paper, the role played by the Abadie constraint qualification in relation to calmness is clarified, and illustrated by different examples. We point out that this approach has the virtue of tackling the calmness property exclusively in terms of the system’s data.

The applied computer science of economic analyses: Internet prioritization and Internet pricing, and software engineering and software pricing for the mass market

This research examines evolving issues in applied computer science and applies economic and business analyses as well. There are two main areas. The first is internetwork communications as embodied by the Internet. The goal of the research is to devise an efficient pricing, prioritization, and incentivization plan that could be realistically implemented on the existing infrastructure. Criteria include practical and economic efficiency, and proper incentives for both users and providers. Background information on the evolution and functional operation of the Internet is given, and relevant literature is surveyed and analyzed. Economic analysis is performed on the incentive implications of the current pricing structure and organization. The problems are identified, and minimally disruptive solutions are proposed for all levels of implementation to the lowest level protocol. Practical issues are considered and performance analyses are done. The second area of research is mass market software engineering, and how this differs from classical software engineering. Software life-cycle revenues are analyzed and software pricing and timing implications are derived. A profit maximizing methodology is developed to select or defer the development of software features for inclusion in a given release. An iterative model of the stages of the software development process is developed, taking into account new communications capabilities as well as profitability. ^
