Pesquisa e experiência: linhas de fuga e dramaturgia científica

The discussions waged by several authors in the field of philosophy of science about scientificity and scientific work often fall to the shock of Sciences, who had long substantiate their studies from the perspective of Natural Sciences. Fact that the man away from research, transforming it into a simple object of study. Among these questions, it is necessary to think in a very scientificity of the humanities, which considers the various types of knowledge that makes up the formation of the individual. In this way, approaching the experience, treated by Agambem Benjamin Larrosa and the educational research with children presents itself as a chance to rethink the current paradigm of Sciences. This gives rise to the objective of this work reflect, based on a research conducted with children and imagetic production, the idea of 'research and its relation to the concept of experience'. We will take as its starting point the elaborations on this concept as presented by Giorgio Agamben. We are assuming that the images of that research, are configured as research papers or research and, in this sense, the research is defined as a documentary research

Efeito da interação entre Bothropstoxina-I e Crotapotina na junção neuromuscular de camundongos “in vitro”: estágio em iniciação científica

A bothropstoxina-I (BthTX-I) é uma fosfolipase A2 (PLA2) Lys49 miotóxica isolada do veneno da Bothrops jararacussu. Embora seja desprovida de atividade neurotóxica in vivo, esta toxina bloqueia a transmissão neuromuscular in vitro. A relação entre as atividades miotóxica e paralisante da BthTX-I ainda não está esclarecida. A crotapotina corresponde à subunidade não-enzimática da crotoxina, principal fração tóxica do veneno da Crotalus durissus terrificus. Isoladamente a crotapotina é atóxica, porém atua como carreadora da PLA2 Asp49 da crotoxina, potencializando sua ação neurotóxica. Esta proteína também é capaz de se complexar com outras PLA2s (Asp49 ou Lys49) de venenos ofídicos, alterando suas toxicidades. Neste trabalho avaliamos a influência da crotapotina sobre o bloqueio neuromuscular e a atividade miotóxica da BthTX-I in vitro. Preparações do nervo frênico-músculo diafragma de camundongos machos foram montadas em cubas para o registro das contrações musculares evocadas direta e indiretamente. Cortes transversais do músculo foram submetidos à coloração por hematoxilina e eosina para a avaliação do padrão morfológico. A BthTX-I (1 μM) isoladamente, ou pré-incubada com crotapotina (2 M) à 35 ºC por 30 minutos, foram adicionadas às preparações. A análise dos dados foi realizada por testes não paramétricos (p<0.05). A BthTX-I induziu bloqueio irreversível e tempo-dependente das contrações musculares diretas e indiretas. O tempo para o bloqueio de 50% das contrações indiretas (18,98 ± 1,94 min, n=4) foi significativamente menor que o das diretas (45,97 ± 5,61 min, n=5). A pré-incubação com a crotapotina não alterou de forma significativa o bloqueio das contrações diretas ou indiretas induzidos pela BthTX-I. Isoladamente, a crotapotina não afetou as contrações...

Gêneros do discurso, ciência e mídia: a divulgação científica em questão

This work’s main purpose is to research how the scientific speech is outlined on the Revista Língua Portuguesa in statements made by linguists. Statements issued in the previously mentioned magazine have been analyzed. In order to achieve the proposal, the research was based on the following questions: how both the scientific and the scientific divulgation speeches are formed in the magazine, and whether the opinion texts written by scholars and researchers in the linguistic field identify themselves with opinion articles, scientific articles or scientific divulgation texts. Those questions were discussed from the theoretical-methodological bakhtinian perspective, taking the notion of dialogism, the human activity sphere, genres of discourse and style as conceptual elements. It has been detected that there is a complexity in the construction of the genres in the magazine, always taking into account the journalistic and scientific spheres of circulation. The analyzed statements presented themselves as a confluence of many genres’ characteristics, showing a point of view, a scientific subject, a researcher-author and a language adjustment to the magazine reader, making it more accessible. The analysis showed that the discussed statements resemble opinion articles, scientific articles, and reviews, besides being scientific divulgation at the same time

Contributos da Ciência do Sistema Terra para a Educação Científica - Construção de Materiais e Práticas Interdisciplinares

O Ensino de Ciência do Sistema Terra constitui o eixo articulador de um programa, que integra ações educacionais e de investigação, tendo por objetivo central o desenvolvimento e aplicação de propostas educacionais que incorporam princípios da complexidade. O programa articula as ações educacionais no âmbito de uma investigação-ação. As ações são realizadas em contextos de educação formal e envolvem comunidades escolares da rede pública do município de São José do Rio Preto (SP, Brasil). Os trabalhos e as ações consideram as diretrizes curriculares e as políticas educativas vigentes e seus resultados revelam-se na construção de materiais e práticas polidisciplinares, que exploram as conexões existentes entre as diferentes áreas do conhecimento para ensinar os conteúdos curriculares, em prol de uma educação científica mais efetiva e pertinente. Os resultados, até então obtidos, revelam alguns contributos das ações educacionais e de investigação do programa que, ao potenciar e incentivar o trabalho colaborativo, o diálogo multidisciplinar e a reflexão crítica, favorecem o desenvolvimento de uma percepção mais acurada do significado e alcance da educação científica para a formação do indivíduo e das sociedades.

A dengue como ferramenta de interdisciplinaridade e popularização científica entre estudantes de ensino fundamental

The majority of the population knows their role in dengue control, preventing the accumulation of water in containers as potential breeding sites of Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue. Also known chemical control, widely used by the institutions responsible for the control of endemic diseases. On the other hand, unaware that an alternative measure such biological control through a microbial biopesticide, safe, harmless to health and the environment, can be adopted. Thus, this work reported for elementary school students, simply and clearly, the biological control of mosquitoes through bacterial biopesticide produced locally. Moreover, promoted the interdisciplinary teaching of science and mathematics through the data tabulation and charting on interviews conducted by students, about the level of knowledge of the population about dengue and other related variables.

O processo de compreensão de texto de ficção científica na década de 30: Admirável Mundo Novo à luz da teoria semiótica

This paper is result of an analysis of the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, made based on the perspective of discursive semiotics. For both, the elements of the generative course of meaning were applied, particularly those in works of Barros (2001) and Fiorin (2000). In view of that each of the three levels (elementary, narrative and discourse) of semiotics approach are considered capable of independent descriptions, we sought through the (re) construction of meaning of specific parts of the work and also the relationship of its thematic route with the time it was composed, found that, as a result of this work, the relationships between fiction and reality and thus the relevance of the work of Aldous Huxley

Cariogenicidade do leite materno: mito ou evidência científica

Introduction: Breast-feeding has stood out as health care measure and is part of the Government’s National Health Policy, involving dental professionals. However, it has been suggested that breast milk could be a risk factor for the development of early childhood caries. Objective: The purpose of this report was to search for scientific evidence that would support or refute the statement that breastfeeding is associated with the development of early childhood caries. Method: Medline and SciELO databases were consulted to retrieve studies, ranging from laboratory investigations to epidemiological surveys, which relate breastfeeding to dental caries. The key words ‘breast-feeding’ and ‘dental caries’ were used on the reference search. There was no scientific evidence that could demonstrate a clear relationship between breast milk and cariogenicity. This is attributed to fact that dental caries is a multifactorial disease that is susceptible to multiple confusing factors, among which the early introduction of sucrose to the infant’s diet and late introduction of oral hygiene habits. The dentist should encourage exclusive breast-feeding because, in addition to the undeniable benefits to the child’s physical and psychological health, it contributes to a harmonic facial growth and prevents the development of atypical deglutition and malocclusions, in combination with early introduction of oral hygiene habits and noncariogenic diet. Conclusion: There is no scientific evidence to demonstrate an association between breast-feeding and early childhood caries.
