Movimentos sociais e diretrizes operacionais para a educação básica nas escolas do campo: para além dos limites institucionais e estruturais

Este estudo tem como tema de pesquisa a Educação do campo no Brasil. Ele resulta de nosso envolvimento político e profissional com a educação. Objetivamos com ele compreender a participação dos movimentos sociais organizados na Articulação Nacional por Uma Educação do Campo na elaboração das Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação Básica nas Escolas do Campo (DOEBEC), por meio da análise do conteúdo das referidas Diretrizes e das Resoluções da I Conferência Nacional por Uma Educação Básica do Campo. Para tanto, levantamos duas questões gerais, que deram origem a outras específicas. As questões gerais são: Qual a contribuição dos movimentos sociais organizados na Articulação Nacional por Uma Educação do Campo na elaboração das Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação Básica nas Escolas do Campo (DOEBEC)? Das Resoluções aprovadas na I Conferência Nacional por Uma Educação Básica do Campo, quais os princípios que se destacam no sentido de contribuir para a superação das desigualdades e melhoria da qualidade de vida e da educação dos sujeitos do campo? Metodologicamente realizamos análise de conteúdo do corpus, composto de dois grupos de documentos: as DOEBEC e as Resoluções da I Conferência Nacional por Uma Educação Básica do Campo. O aporte teórico eleito está composto de vários autores que pesquisam sobre educação do campo no Brasil, dos quais destacamos: Salomão Hage, Mônica Molina, Roseli Caldart e Miguel Arroyo. No campo da compreensão da sociedade e do Estado, também trabalhamos com vários autores, dentre os quais destacamos especialmente Boaventura de Sousa Santos. A análise ocorreu em três momentos: identificação dos eixos analíticos; escolha de indicadores de qualidade e articulação entre os eixos e indicadores de qualidade que geraram categorias de análise. Como resultado, identificamos que as categorias estão interligadas e expressam ações e práticas indispensáveis para a implementação da política de educação do campo na concepção proposta pela Articulação Nacional por uma Educação do Campo, que, de fato, influenciou na elaboração das DOEBEC no que se refere à democratização da gestão, no reconhecimento das especificidades da escola do campo e da necessidade de uma proposta político-pedagógica referenciada em um projeto de desenvolvimento sustentável e nos saberes e realidade dos sujeitos do campo. Entretanto, esta contribuição foi limitada por condicionantes institucionais ligados à legislação educacional vigente, marcada pela concepção neoliberal, e, de forma mais ampla, pela ordem estrutural econômica, social e política do capitalismo na sociedade brasileira, uma vez que as condições concretas para a efetivação de uma educação do campo, estão para além das DOEBC.

First-principles simulation of elastic constants and electronic properties of GaN

The electronic and structural properties and elastic constants of the wurtzite phase of GaN, was investigated by computer simulation at Density Functional Theory level, with B3LYP and B3PW hybrid functional. The electronic properties were investigated through the analysis of the band structures and density of states, and the mechanical properties were studied through the calculus of the elastic constants: C11, C33, C44, C12, and C13. The results show that the maximum of the valence band and the minimum of the conduction band are both located at the Γ point, indicating that GaN is a direct band gap semiconductor. The following constants were obtained for B3LYP and B3PW (in brackets): C11 = 366.9 [372.4], C33 = 390.9 [393.4], C44 = 99.1 [96.9], C12 = 143.6 [155.2], and C13 = 107.6 [121.4].

Molecular and Electronic Structure of the Peptide Subunit of Geobacter sulfurreducens Conductive Phi from First Principles

The respiration of metal oxides by the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens requires the assembly of a small peptide (the GS pilin) into conductive filaments termed pili. We gained insights into the contribution of the GS pilin to the pilus conductivity by developing a homology model and performing molecular dynamics simulations of the pilin peptide in vacuo and in solution. The results were consistent with a predominantly helical peptide containing the conserved a-helix region required for pilin assembly but carrying a short carboxy-terminal random-coiled segment rather than the large globular head of other bacterial pilins. The electronic structure of the pain was also explored from first principles and revealed a biphasic charge distribution along the pilin and a low electronic HOMO-LUMO gap, even in a wet environment. The low electronic band gap was the result of strong electrostatic fields generated by the alignment of the peptide bond dipoles in the pilin's alpha-helix and by charges from ions in solution and amino acids in the protein. The electronic structure also revealed some level of orbital delocalization in regions of the pilin containing aromatic amino acids and in spatial regions of high resonance where the HOMO and LUMO states are, which could provide an optimal environment for the hopping of electrons under thermal fluctuations. Hence, the structural and electronic features of the pilin revealed in these studies support the notion of a pilin peptide environment optimized for electron conduction.

First-principles studies of complex magnetism in Mn nanostructures on the Fe(001) surface

The magnetic properties of Mn nanostructures on the Fe(001) surface have been studied using the noncollinear first-principles real space-linear muffin-tin orbital-atomic sphere approximation method within density-functional theory. We have considered a variety of nanostructures such as adsorbed wires, pyramids, and flat and intermixed clusters of sizes varying from two to nine atoms. Our calculations of interatomic exchange interactions reveal the long-range nature of exchange interactions between Mn-Mn and Mn-Fe atoms. We have found that the strong dependence of these interactions on the local environment, the magnetic frustration, and the effect of spin-orbit coupling lead to the possibility of realizing complex noncollinear magnetic structures such as helical spin spiral and half-skyrmion.

First principles calculations for vacancies and antisites in PbSe and PbTe: bulk and nanowire.

The energetic stability and the electronic properties of vacancies (VX) and antisites (XY) in PbSe and PbTe are investigated. PbSe and PbTe are narrow band gap semiconductors and have the potential to be used in infrared detectors, laser, and diodes. They are also of special interest for thermoelectric devices (TE). The calculations are based in the Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the General Gradient Approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation term, as implemented in the VASP code. The core and valence electrons are described by the Projected Augmented Wave (PAW) and the Plane Wave (PW) methods, respectively. The defects are studied in the bulk and nanowire (NW) system. Our results show that intrinsec defects (vacancies and antisites) in PbTe have lower formation energies in the NW as compared to the bulk and present a trend in migrate to the surface of the NW. For the PbSe we obtain similar results when compare the formation energy for the bulk and NW. However, the Pb vacancy and the antisites are more stable in the core of the NW. The intrinsec defects are shallow defects for the bulk system. For both PbSe and PbTe VPb is a shallow acceptor defect and VSe and VT e are shallow donor defects for the PbSe and PbTe, respectively. Similar electronic properties are observed for the antisites. For the Pb in the anion site we obtain an n-type semiconductor for both PbSe and PbTe, SeP b is a p-type for the PbSe, and T eP b is a n-type for PbTe. Due the quantum con¯nement effects present in the NW (the band gap open), these defects have different electronic properties for the NW as compared to the bulk. Now these defects give rise to electronic levels in the band gap of the PbTe NW and the VT e present a metallic character. For the PbSe NW a p-type and a n-type semiconductor is obtained for the VP b and P bSe, respectively. On the other hand, deep electronic levels are present in the band gap for the VSe and SePb. These results show that due an enhanced in the electronic density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy, the defective PbSe and PbTe are candidates for efficient TE devices.

Modeling physiological processes in plankton on enzyme kinetic principles

[EN] Many ecologically important chemical transformations in the ocean are controlled by biochemical enzyme reactions in plankton. Nitrogenase regulates the transformation of N2 to ammonium in some cyanobacteria and serves as the entryway for N2 into the ocean biosphere. Nitrate reductase controls the reduction of NO3 to NO2 and hence new production in phytoplankton. The respiratory electron transfer system in all organisms links the carbon oxidation reactions of intermediary metabolism with the reduction of oxygen in respiration. Rubisco controls the fixation of CO2 into organic matter in phytoplankton and thus is the major entry point of carbon into the oceanic biosphere. In addition to these, there are the enzymes that control CO2 production, NH4 excretion and the fluxes of phosphate. Some of these enzymes have been recognized and researched by marine scientists in the last thirty years. However, until recently the kinetic principles of enzyme control have not been exploited to formulate accurate mathematical equations of the controlling physiological expressions. Were such expressions available they would increase our power to predict the rates of chemical transformations in the extracellular environment of microbial populations whether this extracellular environment is culture media or the ocean. Here we formulate from the principles of bisubstrate enzyme kinetics, mathematical expressions for the processes of NO3 reduction, O2 consumption, N2 fixation, total nitrogen uptake.
