Formació al professorat de l’IES Montilivi: metodologies i eines per a l’atenció dels alumnes nouvinguts a l’aula ordinària

Descripció de les pràctiques de pedagogia i entrevistes realitzades a l’IES Montilivi. L’objectiu és donar eines als professors per poder atendre als alumnes nouvinguts a l’aula ordinària. S’ha detectat que els professors necessiten l’aula d’acollida per a poder derivar alumnes nouvinguts perquè no tenen recursos per ajudar-los dins l’aula. En conseqüència, l’autora ha planificat una acció formativa dirigida als professors del centre, per a conscienciar-los sobre la necessitat d’impulsar nous corrents adaptats a la societat actual, com ara l’educació intercultural i inclusiva

Idoneidad didáctica de un protocolo sociocultural de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las matemáticas

En este estudio se evalúa la adecuación de un protocolo para la enseñanza del concepto de poliedro regular, destinado a alumnos de 14 y 15 años. Este protocolo se ha diseñado desde una perspectiva sociocultural y su evaluación se basa en la aplicación de los criterios de idoneidad didáctica que ofrece el enfoque ontosemiótico. La idoneidad se estudia con la revisión de sus diferentes dimensiones: matemática, cognitiva, interaccional, mediacional, emocional y ecológica. El análisis ha permitido detectar algunos factores que favorecen la validez del protocolo y la adecuación para su empleo en el aula, como el tipo de discurso, el uso de material manipulable o el trabajo cooperativo

Un projecte didàctic que ensenya a mirar: 'Ciutat, territori i paisatge' s'ha experimentat en onze instituts de Catalunya

‘Ciutat, territori i paisatge’ consta d’uns materials didàctics, formats per unes làmines de paisatges, un conjunt d’activitats didàctiques i un web interactiu, elaborats pel Departament de Política Territorial i Obres Públiques conjuntament amb el Departament d’ Educació i l’ Observatori del Paisatge i adreçat a estudiants d’educació secundària. Aquests materials poden tenir interès, també, per als educadors en el lleure i per a totes les persones preocupades pel deteriorament que estan patint alguns paisatges que considerem tradicionals i emblemàtics, especialment els dels entorns de les ciutats o els propers a les grans infraestructures

Formação em contexto, interpares e interciclos, para o ensino experimental das ciências

Este trabalho de projeto tem como objetivo explorar as possibilidades existentes, no agrupamento vertical de escolas da cidade do Entroncamento, para a conceção de um plano de formação em contexto entre professores do 1.º ciclo e docentes de ciências físicas e naturais do 3.º ciclo/secundário, na área do ensino experimental das ciências. Deste modo, a questão de partida foi: Que plano de formação contínua em contexto é possível promover, num agrupamento vertical de escolas, através de trabalho articulado entre professores do 1.º ciclo e 3.º ciclo/secundário, potenciador de um ensino experimental das ciências? Esta investigação consiste num estudo de caso (Bogdan & Biklen, 2010), de natureza essencialmente qualitativa/interpretativa, baseado na análise dos documentos orientadores do Agrupamento de Escolas Cidade do Entroncamento, em particular no que se refere à articulação vertical dos diferentes níveis e ciclos de escolaridade. Recorreu-se, ainda, a outros instrumentos de recolha de dados, como o levantamento de recursos humanos e físicos em escolas de níveis de ensino distintos, de modo a poder racionalizar e gerir eficientemente esses recursos, e também a um questionário aos docentes da escola básica selecionada, com o propósito de aferir as reais necessidades de formação para o ensino experimental das ciências dos professores do 1.º ciclo. Este projeto evidenciou que é possível implementar um trabalho articulado interpares e interciclos, assente na partilha de saberes e de experiências educativas, sendo uma mais valia o investimento em práticas colaborativas, capazes de valorizar o ensino experimental das ciências. Por outro lado, salientou-se a necessidade de reforçar a capacidade pedagógica dos estabelecimentos de ensino que integram o agrupamento de escolas em estudo e o aproveitamento racional dos seus recursos, para que se possa caminhar no sentido de uma formação contínua contextualizada, que contribua para o desenvolvimento profissional dos professores e consequentemente para uma melhoria dos níveis de literacia científica de todos.

Preparation of consistent soil data sets for modelling purposes: Secondary SOTER data for four case study areas

The common GIS-based approach to regional analyses of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and changes is to define geographic layers for which unique sets of driving variables are derived, which include land use, climate, and soils. These GIS layers, with their associated attribute data, can then be fed into a range of empirical and dynamic models. Common methodologies for collating and formatting regional data sets on land use, climate, and soils were adopted for the project Assessment of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks and Changes at National Scale (GEFSOC). This permitted the development of a uniform protocol for handling the various input for the dynamic GEFSOC Modelling System. Consistent soil data sets for Amazon-Brazil, the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) of India, Jordan and Kenya, the case study areas considered in the GEFSOC project, were prepared using methodologies developed for the World Soils and Terrain Database (SOTER). The approach involved three main stages: (1) compiling new soil geographic and attribute data in SOTER format; (2) using expert estimates and common sense to fill selected gaps in the measured or primary data; (3) using a scheme of taxonomy-based pedotransfer rules and expert-rules to derive soil parameter estimates for similar soil units with missing soil analytical data. The most appropriate approach varied from country to country, depending largely on the overall accessibility and quality of the primary soil data available in the case study areas. The secondary SOTER data sets discussed here are appropriate for a wide range of environmental applications at national scale. These include agro-ecological zoning, land evaluation, modelling of soil C stocks and changes, and studies of soil vulnerability to pollution. Estimates of national-scale stocks of SOC, calculated using SOTER methods, are presented as a first example of database application. Independent estimates of SOC stocks are needed to evaluate the outcome of the GEFSOC Modelling System for current conditions of land use and climate. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Use of essential and molecular dynamics to study gamma B-crystallin unfolding after non-enzymic post-translational modifications

Essential and Molecular Dynamics (ED/MD) have been used to model the conformational changes of a protein implicated in a conformational disease-cataract, the largest cause of blindness in the world-after non-enzymic post-translational modification. Cyanate modification did not significantly alter flexibility, while the Schiff's base adduct produced a more flexible N-terminal domain, and intra-secondary structure regions, than either the cyanate adduct or the native structure. Glycation also increased linker flexibility and disrupted the charge network. A number of post-translational adducts showed structural disruption around Cys15 and increased linker flexibility; this may be important in subsequent protein aggregation. Our modelling results are in accord with experimental evidence, and show that ED/MD is a useful tool in modelling conformational changes in proteins implicated in disease processes.

Plankton richness and abundance in several different hydrological situations in lakes lateral to a river: a case study in the mouth zone of a tributary into a tropical reservoir.

A descriptive analysis of the responses of plankton from lakes lateral to a river in its mouth zone into a tropical reservoir to water level variations is presented. Three situations were reported: 1) a comparison of species richness and diversity and of algae population abundance in prolonged drought and in periods of connection of lakes to the river, 2) the spatial distribution of abundance and richness of Rotifera species in four isolated water bodies formed by fragmentation of a lateral lake during a period of prolonged drought and in the same areas during a period of integrity as an ecosystem, 3) the variability of total zooplankton and Cladocera densities at the end of the isolation period of a lateral lake and after the recovery of connection with the river and in a year of continuous connection with the lotic ecosystem. Various idiosyncrasies were observed in connected lateral lakes, like the surface hydrologic connectivity, a primary factor in species richness modifcations and a secondary controlling factor of plankton abundance. Underground hydrologic connectivity, through the river[forward arrow] lake water fux during the high-water period and lake [forward arrow] river during drought period, appears to have an important role in richness and abundance variations of planktonic populations in the lake isolated from the river.

Antimicrobial resistance and persistence of Staphylococcus epidermidis clones in a Brazilian university hospital

Oxacillin is an alternative for the treatment of Staphylococcus spp. infections; however, resistance to this drug has become a major problem over recent decades. The main objective of this study was to epidemiologically characterize coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) strains recovered from blood of patients hospitalized in a Brazilian teaching hospital. Oxacillin resistance was analyzed in 160 strains isolated from blood culture samples by phenotypic methods, detection of the mecA gene, and determination of intermediate sensitivity to vancomycin on brain heart infusion agar supplemented with 4 and 6 μg/mL vancomycin. In addition, characterization of the epidemiological profile by staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC. mec) typing and clonal analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were performed. The mecA gene was detected in 72.5% of the isolates. Methicillin-resistant CoNS isolates exhibited the highest minimum inhibitory concentrations and multiresistance when compared to methicillin-susceptible CoNS strains. Typing classified 32.8% of the isolates as SCC. mec I and 50% as SCC. mec III. PFGE typing of the SCC. mec III Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates identified 6 clones disseminated in different wards that persisted from 2002 to 2009. The high oxacillin resistance rates found in this study and clonal dissemination in different wards highlight the importance of good practices in nosocomial infection control and of the rational use of antibiotic therapy in order to prevent the dissemination of these clones. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
