A dança como fator de desenvolvimento pessoal e de inclusão: perceções de um grupo de dança inclusiva

Nos últimos anos a arte tem sido associada à promoção da inclusão. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as perceções do impacto do grupo de Dança Inclusiva, Grupo Dançando com a Diferença, no desenvolvimento pessoal e na inclusão social dos seus elementos. No estudo participaram 20 sujeitos: 12 bailarinos (cinco bailarinos sem necessidades especiais e sete com necessidades especiais), cinco elementos que fazem parte da equipa técnica, e três encarregados de educação de bailarinos com deficiência mental. A recolha de dados foi realizada através da realização de focus groups junto de bailarinos, encarregados de educação e equipa técnica, e de uma entrevista individual ao Diretor Artístico. Os resultados apontam genericamente para perceções do grupo como agente facilitador da inclusão e de mudanças ao nível da aquisição de competências técnicas e artísticas, associadas ao desenvolvimento de competências sociais, permitindo perceber a dança também como forma de realização profissional e de inserção social.

Pode um grupo de teatro escolar ser uma comunidade de prática, conducente a inovação pedagógica?

O presente estudo, no âmbito do Mestrado em Ciências de Educação – Inovação Pedagógica tem como objetivo analisar o modo como uma comunidade (principal objeto de estudo), constituida por um grupo de teatro escolar, neste caso concreto “O Moniz”, constrói aprendizagens significativas, decorrentes de práticas sócioconstrutivistas, relembrando os princípios básicos sobre a influência e importância do teatro junto das comunidades educativas. O termo comunidade de prática, referida por Jeane Lave e Ettiene Wenger, que consideram a aprendizagem como um fenómeno situado, é utilizado para análise e discussão das aprendizagens emergentes desses alunos que, através de atividades práticas e metodologias informais, de trabalho colaborativo e cooperativo, entre eles, poderão favorecer e potenciar as diferentes dimensões humanas, sobretudo numa educação socializadora, para além das dimensões dos valores e da afetividade que ficam muitas vezes fora do currículo, sendo importantes para a formação integral das pessoas e indispensáveis para uma vida feliz. Este estudo de caso tem em vista utilizar uma metodologia qualitativa, usando técnicas de cariz etnográfico, no ambiente natural dos sujeitos, com o intuito de relevar e confrontar subjetividades, atendendo às percepções de cada participante. Concluimos que este grupo de teatro reúne os principais elementos de uma Comunidade de Prática (Domínio, Comunidade e Prática), designados por Wenger (1991). Além disso, são visíveis caraterísticas que permitem relacioná-lo com as CdP, tais como: o compromisso mútuo, o empreendimento múto e o reportório partilhado.

A personalidade nos trabalhos em grupo no ensino superior

O Ensino Superior é um contexto fundamental no desenvolvimento pessoal, profissional e social do indivíduo, pois pretende que os indivíduos obtenham conhecimentos técnicos específicos na sua área de formação, e que ao mesmo tempo desenvolvam competências pessoais e sociais, fundamentais para ingressar no mundo do trabalho. Dessa forma, a metodologia dos trabalhos em grupo tem sido muito adotada pelas várias universidades, uma vez que tem sido apontada como sendo uma estratégia adequada para o desenvolvimento de competências ao nível da comunicação, resolução de conflitos e liderança, cada vez mais procuradas pela realidade profissional. A personalidade tem sido também muito considerada no que toca aos requisitos exigidos pelas entidades empregadoras, uma vez que as características da personalidade são determinantes no comportamento profissional de um indivíduo. Este fator tornar-se ainda mais importante quando estamos perante um trabalho em grupo, uma vez que o bom funcionamento do mesmo e a conquista de bons resultados, dependem da forma como os elementos do grupo conjugam cada uma das suas singularidades. Assim, este estudo longitudinal, enquadrado numa metodologia quantitativa, pretendeu analisar os traços de personalidade dos time-organizer dos grupos em dois momentos distintos, de forma a comparar as perceções nessas duas fases do trabalho. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 92 alunos do 1º Ciclo da Universidade da Madeira, sendo que 17 dos quais são time-organizer dos seus grupos. Os dados foram recolhidos a partir de um questionário, baseado no Big Five Inventory, versão abreviada de 10 itens (Rammstedt & John, 2006). No que se refere aos resultados obtidos, verificamos que o traço de personalidade Conscienciosidade foi o mais predominante nos time-organizer da amostra. No entanto, foi curioso verificar que as perceções, sobre a personalidade do time-organizer, alteraram-se no decorrer do trabalho. Por fim, constatou-se que houve divergências entre as perceções dos alunos time-organizer e dos restantes alunos.

Um espaço pioneiro de modernidade educacional: Grupo Escolar Augusto Severo -Natal/RN -1908-13

Cette recherche a pour but d analyser l Ecole Augusto Severo, située dans la ville de Natal dont la construction date de 1907,étant le premier établissement d enseignement primaire à l état du Rio Grande do Norte, pendant le processus de restructuration de l enseignement républicain. On cherche à comprendre la représentation de ce milieu scolaire, comme équipement urbain, dans le processus de modernisation de la ville et comme modèle éducationnel pour l état entre 1908 et 1913. En se servant des études historiographes sur le processus de modernisation de quelques villes brésiliennes et des innovations de l enseignement public primaire au pays, à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et pendant la première décennie du vingtième siècle, comme source pour mieux saisir le contexte général et spécifique. On reconstitue les aspects économiques, sociaux et politiques déterminants des interventions publiques réalisées dans cette ville par les gouvernements républicains ayant comme obectif la construction d une ville embellie,hygiénique et civilisée. Située au quartier Ribeira, principal scénario de la modernité de Natal, l Ecole Augusto Severo est mise em relief comme symbole de civilité du paysage urbain de l époque pour le citoyen du Rio Grande do Norte. Elle disposait de services d énergie et d un tram électrique. Il y avait devant, un grand lac arborisé et une station ferroviaire. A côté, il y avait le théâtre Carlos Gomes (actuellement Alberto Maranhão). Par suíte de son imposante architecture, raffiné style éclectique,on reflète l idéal républicain des elites locales, avec une conception d espace symbolique et éducative de surveillance et contrôle, caractéristiques de l école graduée républicaine

Grupo Totem: a infecção pela performance e a encenação performática

The issue of creating productions of hybrid matrices has demanded, for more than three decades, the attention of several theater theorists (COHEN: 1995; LEHMANN: 2007). The study of philosophers (DELEUZE & GUATTARI: 1995) has contributed for new concepts of the scene. These artistic practices, depending on the context, have been generating, more and more, new ways of staging. I will discuss the contamination caused by Antonin Artaud in contemporary theater, and the theater s infection by the performance, based on the thought of Barbara Browning (1995), from its capacity to penetrate and invade territories, and installs a new system. I affirm that the Totem Group (Recife PE) was contaminated by the performance and analyze two performative plays of the group, their points of convergence and separation. The first one is Ita, the search for the origin, the animal devir; the second is Caosmopolita, the body as a reflex of urbanity

Trajetos cênicos do grupo parafolclórico da UFRN:que dança é essa?

This paper aims at studying UFRN Parafolclórico Group, whose aesthetic formation is subjected to our analysis, specially at its two last performances, that is, Flor do Lírio (Lily Flower), 2004, and Debaixo do Barro do Chão (Under the Mud of the Ground), 2008. Three targets are envisaged here: to analyze the aesthetic ideas backing Parafolclórico Group exhibitions; to evaluate how their many folk elements interact with different artist languages in order to compose a certain choreography; and finally, to identify the aesthetic conformation placed behind the two different choreographs of the last performances, their trends and innermost features that differentiate them. In accordance with the Analysis of Contents (BARDIN, 2006), interviews have been made with the choreographers and the staff of the spectacles, resulting in elucidating answers to the understanding of their thematic axis. On the first chapter we called attention to motivating subjects as recollection, personal experiences, bibliography research, research in loco regarded as propelling forces of the creative works. Herein, folk culture is depicted as a dynamic process opening a frank dialogue with contemporary events and reinforcing their continuity. On the second chapter, we approached the aesthetic conformation and the scenic elements (costumes, light, scenario, make-up), integrating the studied spectacles and disseminating folk songs in various ways. As what concerns the subjects discourse, we have obtained support in authors like Robatto (1994); Lobo; Navas (2008); Burke (1989); Canclini (2006); Dufrenne (2005); Medeiros (2005); Pavis (2005); Silva (2005), among others. Those authors have provided us with an indispensable theoretic support which, added to the interviews, convinced us that the Parafolclórico Group s aesthetic conception tends to identify itself with the artist languages and other techniques of that Group. It also made sure that the Group s course aims at an aesthetic conception which is not limited to popular culture manifestations, like dance, but admits to play with other media in order to communicate its art. In view of this situation, we arrived to two conclusions: first: the group s interchanges emphasize the dynamic character of popular culture which, by establishing contacts with different realities, receives influences capable of extending its own continuity; second: the contemporary state of arts also improves multiple interchanges opening way, so, for many accomplishments in their field. Therefore, UFRN Parafolclórico Group inserts itself in the contemporary scenery by performing new evaluations of the popular dances as long as it puts them in contact with different technical, aesthetic, artist and culture combinations

Identificação de genes MUTM em BACs da cana-de-açucar e caracterização preliminar destes genes e seus promotores

Sugarcane has an importance in Brazil due to sugar and biofuel production. Considering this aspect, there is basic research being done in order to understand its physiology to improve production. The aim of this research is the Base Excision Repair pathway, in special the enzyme MUTM DNA-glycosylase (formamidopyrimidine) which recognizes oxidized guanine in DNA. The sugarcane scMUTM genes were analyzed using four BACs (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) from a sugarcane genomic library from R570 cultivar. The resulted showed the presence in the region that had homology to scMUTM the presence of transposable elements. Comparing the similarity, it was observed a highest similarity to Sorghum bicolor sequence, both nucleotide and peptide sequences. Furthermore, promoter regions from MUTM genes in some grass showed different cis-regulatory elements, among which, most were related to oxidative stress, suggesting a gene regulation by oxidative stress

Avaliação de efeitos toxicológicos e comportamentais de ginseng panax em ratos

Panax ginseng CA Meyer (Araliaceae) is a herbaceous plant widely used in China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries for the treatment of various diseases micro circulatory, cerebrovascular, among others, representing one of the drugs used by older man. It has over 30 biologically active ginsenosides with different pharmacological and behavioral effects and inhibitory effect on the NMDA receptor. The amino acid glycine is a co-agonist of the NMDA receptor, activating this receptor. At the cellular level, ketamine is widely known to be NMDA receptor antagonist. The aim of this study was to evaluate the general activity in the open field, and anxiety in elevated plus maze, mice treated with P. ginseng compared with the action of ketamine and glycine, to better understand the action of this herbal medicine at the NMDA receptor. We used 66 adult male rats were divided into six groups: a positive control, treated for 30 days with water by gavage, who received glycine (500mg/kg; po) on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of treatment, one hour before of behavioral assessment, a negative control was treated for 30 days with water by gavage received ketamine (5mg/kg, ip) on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of treatment, one hour prior to behavioral evaluation, three experimental groups, receiving 100, 200 or 300 mg / kg P. ginseng by gavage for 30 days and one group treated solely with white water, and is also administered 1 ml of water by gavage one hour prior to behavioral evaluation. Animal behavior in these three groups was also examined on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of treatment. On day 30 of treatment, the animals were anesthetized with thiopental (70mg/kg) for blood collection and after euthanasia, withdrawal of various organs. There were no changes in weight and body weight gain and weight reasons in organ / body weight. However the consumption of water and food values showed a significant increase. Serum levels of AST was increased in a dose-dependently in the animals treated with doses of P. ginseng, glycine and ketamine as compared to the blank group. Unlike creatinine levels proved to be decreased in all treated groups when compared with white. However, the level of urea in these groups was reduced and no changes were observed in the ALT parameter. Histopathological examination revealed no changes in cell morphology in different tissues. There were no behavioral changes in the elevated plus maze and few changes were observed in the open field, animals treated with P. ginseng, glycine and ketamine when compared to white. These data suggest that the doses of P. ginseng employed were unable to induce general toxicity in rats treated for 30 days and also shows that the general behavior of mice treated with P. ginseng was slightly different from that observed in animals treated with ketamine and glycine. Finally, the study on the elevated plus maze showed that the extract of P. ginseng showed no anxiolytic or anxiogenic action

Eletroacupuntura aplicada nas fases precoce e tardia da cicatrização do tendão calcanear comum de coelhos após reparo tardio com peritônio bovino conservado em solução supersaturada de sal: aspectos clínicos

Para avaliar o uso da eletroacupuntura (EA) sobre os aspectos clínicos e deambulatórios, 36 coelhos tiveram o tendão calcanear comum seccionado e, após 30 dias, receberam enxerto de peritônio bovino conservado em solução supersaturada de sal. em seguida, os animais foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos de igual número: no primeiro grupo, os coelhos foram estimulados pela EA do segundo ao 11° dia de pós-operatório (PO) (E10); no segundo grupo do 11o ao 31o dia de PO (E20) e, no terceiro grupo, os animais não foram estimulados (C). Verificou-se, nos animais do E10, durante o PO, ausência de edema e hiperemia no membro tratado pela EA. Não se observou diferença significativa (P>0,05) entre os grupos quanto ao grau de deambulação dos animais. Todos os coelhos tiveram completa recuperação da deambulação até os 51 dias de PO. A utilização da eletroacupuntura na fase precoce da cicatrização do tendão calcanear comum de coelhos impediu a formação de edema e hiperemia. O tratamento com eletroacupuntura no PO não melhorou o desempenho da deambulação.
