A ação pedagógica de professores ribeirinhos da Amazônia e sua relação com a concepção freireana de educação: um estudo do Projeto Escola Açaí em Igarapé-Miri/PA

O presente estudo investigou a maneira como os professores ribeirinhos que atuam no Projeto Escola Açaí, em Igarapé-Miri/PA, realizam sua ação pedagógica, e se tais práticas estão relacionadas aos pressupostos freireanos da educação. A opção metodológica do estudo se fundamenta na pesquisa qualitativa, configurada em um estudo de caso com a aplicação de questionário, análise de documentos e entrevistas para a coleta de dados com professores ribeirinhos. No estudo, foram utilizadas produções teóricas que focalizam a prática pedagógica a partir dos ideais de Paulo Freire concomitante a outros referenciais que investigam o contexto amazônico/ribeirinho em relação aos aspectos socioeducacionais e culturais. Os resultados do estudo apontaram que a ação pedagógica realizada pelos professores da Escola Açaí está fundamentada nas concepções freireanas, de tal modo que estas ações estão próximas e adequadas à realidade ribeirinha, privilegiando os saberes, a cultura e as experiências destas populações, resgatando e afirmando os valores culturais destes sujeitos que vivem na Amazônia. Constatou-se, também, que a ação pedagógica viabiliza a inclusão socioeducacional de famílias de alunos ribeirinhos em vários projetos de empoderamento comunitário, através de elementos culturais pertinentes ao contexto ribeirinho amazônico.

Professoras aposentadas em território rural/ribeirinho: identidades e práticas socioculturais

O presente trabalho dedica-se a analisar os sentidos que professoras aposentadas, docentes da Educação Básica, e outros moradores atribuem às identidades e às práticas desenvolvidas por essas mulheres nas vilas Moiraba e Carmo do Tocantins, em especial, na interação com a nova geração de professores. Para dar conta dessa investigação, realizamos 03 movimentos de inserção naquelas comunidades para coleta das narrativas dos sujeitos envolvidos, a saber: a 1ª fase, em que foi realizada a pesquisa Exploratória; a 2ª fase, em que foram realizadas as entrevistas com os diferentes grupos de moradores; a 3ª fase, em que foram construídas as Oficinas de Memória, essas fazes ocorreram em 2009, 2011 e 2012, respectivamente. Assim, fizemos uso dos pressupostos da História Oral, em especial, na organização das Oficinas de Memória. As narrativas foram analisadas, a partir das temáticas que envolveram os saberes da experiência, a profissionalidade, o trabalho, a ciclo profissional e o saber docente associadas ao dialogismo bakhtiniano e à perspectiva da cultura enquanto modos de vida. Tais encaminhamentos foram importantes para compreendermos que essas aposentadas ao chegarem na Idade Madura e na Velhice deparam-se com o evento da aposentadoria e em direção oposta ao que se poderia esperar diante dos estereótipos criados a respeito do aposentado como um sujeito que não tem mais condições de contribuir com a sociedade, elas ressignificam a lógica de que a aposentadoria é o fim de projetos de vida. Desse modo, as aposentadas dão continuidade ao investimento em outros tipos de atividades produtivas e se colocam à disposição para vivenciarem novas experiências mostrando que em determinadas comunidades da Amazônia Paraense ainda é recorrente a imbricação entre escola, igreja, lideranças comunitárias e esse grupo que não atua sob exigências político-administrativas, mas por relações afetivas, de respeito e valorização de experiências partilhadas, principalmente com os docentes da Educação Básica, contribuindo assim com sua formação intelectual e humana. Elas colocam em prática novos projetos de vida e procuram manter o status que as mesmas possuem, isto é, trata-se de mulheres aposentadas que ainda se colocam à disposição para exercer determinadas funções nas diferentes esferas públicas, especial, na igreja e na escola. Tais encaminhamentos garantem a elas não apenas reconhecimento social, mas também bem-estar, aspecto interessante na construção de uma velhice bem-sucedida. Por conta disso, a aposentadoria não representa um fim, mas uma fase de avaliação e preparação de projetos de vida que se apoiam em projetos mais coletivos para dar novos sentidos à vida.

Oral live attenuated human rotavirus vaccine (RotarixTM) offers sustained high protection against severe G9P[8] rotavirus gastroenteritis during the first two years of life in Brazilian children

In a large Phase III trial conducted in 10 Latin American countries, the safety and efficacy of the live attenuated monovalent rotavirus vaccine RIX4414 was evaluated in 15,183 healthy infants followed up during the first two years of life. Belém was the only site in Brazil included in this multicentre trial. The study in Belém included a subset of 653 infants who were followed up until 24 months of age for protection against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis. These subjects were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive two doses of vaccine (n = 328) or two doses of placebo (n = 325) at approximately two and four months of age. Of the 653 enrolled infants, 23 dropped out during the study period. For the combined two-year period, the efficacy of RIX4414 was 72.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 37.5-89.1%] against severe rotavirus-related gastroenteritis, reaching a protection rate of 81.8% (95% CI 36.4-96.6%) against circulating wild-type G9 rotavirus strains. It is concluded that two doses of RIX4414 are highly efficacious against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis in Belém during the first two years of life and provide high protection against the worldwide emergence and spread of G9P[8] strains.

Live High-Train High increases hemoglobin mass in Olympic swimmers

This study tested whether 3-4 weeks of classical Live High-Train High (LHTH) altitude training increases swim-specific VO2max through increased hemoglobin mass (Hb(mass)).Ten swimmers lived and trained for more than 3 weeks between 2,130 and 3,094 m of altitude, and a control group of ten swimmers followed the same training at sea-level (SL). Body composition was examined using dual X-ray absorptiometry. Hb(mass) was determined by carbon monoxide rebreathing. Swimming VO2peak was determined and swimming trials of 4 x 50, 200 and 3,000 m were performed before and after the intervention.Hb(mass) (n = 10) was increased (P < 0.05)after altitude training by 6.2 +/- A 3.9 % in the LHTH group, whereas no changes were apparent in the SL group (n = 10). Swimming VO2peak was similar before and after training camps in both groups (LHTH: n = 7, SL: n = 6). Performance of 4 x 50 m at race pace was improved to a similar degree in both groups (LHTH: n = 10, SL: n = 10). Maximal speed reached in an incremental swimming step test (P = 0.051), and time to complete 3,000 m tended (P = 0.09) to be more improved after LHTH (n = 10) than SL training (n = 10).In conclusion, 3-4 weeks of classical LHTH is sufficient to increase Hb(mass) but exerts no effect on swimming-specific VO2peak. LHTH may improve performance more than SL training.

Use of live oocyst vaccine in the control of turkey coccidiosis: Effect on performance and intestinal morphology

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different coccidiosis-preventing programs on performance and intestinal morphology of commercial turkeys. Three hundred fifteen1-d-old female commercial cross turkey poults (British United Turkeys, BUT Big 9) were distributed into 3 treatments with 5 replicates of 21 birds each. Three programs were evaluated from 1 to 70 d of age, where program 1 had no anticoccidial drug and no vaccination against coccidiosis; program 2 had an anticoccidial drug (maduramycin 1%, 5 ppm); and program 3 had a vaccination (commercial vaccine, 4 species of Eimeria). All the groups were challenged with a dose of oocysts sporulated (20,000/bird) of 2 species of Eimeria at 21 d of age. In the growing phase (d 0-28), BW, BW gain, and FCR were significantly greater in treated groups compared with control group. In the fattening phase, the performance was not affected by treatments. Treatments and coccidiosis challenge had no significant effects on intestinal villus height. These observations support other reports that confirm live oocyst vaccination can be used effectively as a preventive against avian coccidiosis in commercially reared turkeys.

Reliability of Web-Based Information in Inquiry Projects

This case study aims at identifying how a community of secondary school students selects web-based information and factors associated with the reliability of online reference sources during their collaborative inquiry (co-inquiry) projects. This study, conducted in a public secondary school in Brazil, focused on information literacy skills for collaborative open learning (colearning). The research is based on qualitative content analysis implemented on the online platform weSPOT. Although students are mindful of the importance of comparing different sources of information they seem not to be aware of reliability in online environments. Teacher's guidance is essential to support co-learners in developing competences, particularly related to critical thinking.

Valores culturais e organizacionais em transformação: estudo sobre o Programa de Intercâmbio Social da Aiesec

Many young people have chosen go on exchange experiences, expecting to live in a context full of diversity, to know elements in the country they are visiting and also to develop themselves personally and professionally. Organizational and cultural values can be acquired or developed through these professional exchange experiences. This paper aimed to understand the vision of young people who went on the social exchange of AIESEC related to cultural and organizational values in the experience. AIESEC is a global and nonprofit organization formed by university students, with the objective of peace and the fulfillment of the humankind needs. Thus, professional exchanges are the main tool for achieving this goal. The study analyzes the experiences of 15 exchange students as well as the point of view of five managers of the organization in order to gain a broad perspective in relation to exchange experiences to understand how young people understand the concept of culture. The interview results suggest that in labor relations, autonomy and egalitarianism are values that go together, while the harmony could be observed by the fact that the projects deal with the issue of sustainability. Furthermore, responsibility, tolerance and collective were the human values that the exchange students developed the most, indicating that experience enables openness to live the diversity and to the intercultural dialogue in order to value local cultures of the visited countries

Diagnóstico socioambiental de um alojamento estudantil público e da comunidade do entorno: um estudo da relação entre a universidade e a sociedade

Dormitories are places offered by Brazilian public Universities to undergraduate students evaluated as socio-economically less favored aiming to guarantee the housing of the student in the locality they take a given undergraduate course, once housing is one the points which compose the tripod that supports the concept of student permanence, along with conditions of transportations and food. These places, however, present problems in their management, specially the ones related to social and environmental questions, caused by wrong attitudes and pre-concepts of their own residents, other students and the communities who live around them. So, this project aims to identify and analyze the socio-environmental conditions of a students’ dormitory located in Botucatu/SP which is supported by the Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho” (Unesp) as well as the community that surrounds it. The data collecting is based on an exploratory research characterized for interviews that used semi-structured questionnaires and for the creation of a photography record of the region. The obtained data corroborated the tendency of an increasing gap between the Brazilian public universities and the society as well as to the disengagement of them and their students. This diagnosis has permitted to build proposals of educational interventions based on Permaculture, Agroecology and Critical Environmental Education to the improvement of the existing relationships among the students who live at the dormitory and among them and the local community. These interventions may be used as subsidies to the development of future research and extension projects to the local community
