Dificuldades dos sistemas "fechados" e dilemas da formação na pós-graduação

Este artigo trata da tendência hegemônica nos cursos de pós-graduação em áreas humanas ligadas à ação social/educativa no Brasil - na contramão da evolução mundial dos estudos ligados à relação entre educação e trabalho - a manter uma formação dominantemente marxista ortodoxa e uma orientação de caráter exegético. Dominam entre nós livros e autores que, após o boom marxista dos anos 1960/1970, praticamente desapareceram do cenário intelectual internacional. Em seu nome, qualquer conceito que não se encontre em tal literatura termina classificado como novilíngua - termo cuja origem condenava o stalinismo e que é reconvertido para denunciar aqueles que "parecem de esquerda" mas não passariam de "neoliberais". Termina-se, com isso, por restringir a liberdade de pensar, necessária à formação de verdadeiros intelectuais. Elimina-se a discussão metodológica, epistemológica, estatística e a pesquisa empírica, pelas quais as afirmações deixam de ser produto de uma atividade talmúdica e passam a apoiar-se na ida concreta ao campo

Childhood cancer mortality in America, Asia, and Oceania, 1970 through 2007.

BACKGROUND: Over the last 4 decades, childhood cancer mortality declined in most developed areas of the world. However, scant information is available from middle-income and developing countries. The authors analyzed and compared patterns in childhood cancer mortality in 24 developed and middle-income countries in America, Asia, and Oceania between 1970 and 2007. METHODS: Childhood age-standardized annual mortality rates were derived from the World Health Organization (WHO) database for all neoplasms, bone and kidney cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and leukemias. RESULTS: Since 1970, rates for all childhood cancers dropped from approximately 8 per 100,000 boys to 3 per 100,000 boys and from 6 per 100,000 girls to 2 per 100,000 girls in North America and Japan. Latin American countries registered rates of approximately 5 per 100,000 boys and 4 per 100,000 girls for 2005 through 2007, similar to the rates registered in more developed areas in the early 1980s. Similar patterns were observed for leukemias, for which the mortality rates were 0.81 per 100,000 boys and 0.55 per 100,000 girls in North America, 0.86 per 100,000 boys and 0.68 per 100,000 girls in Japan, and 1.98 per 100,000 boys and 1.65 per 100,000 girls in Latin America for 2005 through 2007. Bone cancer rates for 2005 through 2007 were approximately 2-fold higher in Argentina than in the United States. During the same period, Mexico registered the highest rate for kidney cancer and Colombia registered the highest rate for NHL, whereas the lowest rates were registered by Japan for kidney and by Japan and the United States for NHL. CONCLUSIONS: Improvements in the adoption of current integrated treatment protocols in Latin American and other lower- and middle-income countries worldwide would avoid a substantial proportion of childhood cancer deaths.

A Study of Portland Cement Maintenance Mix and Set Accelerators, R-249, 1970

The large volume of traffic on the interstate system makes it difficult to make pavement repairs. The maintenance crew needs 4-5 hours to break out the concrete to be replaced and prepare the hole for placing new concrete. Because of this it is usually noon before the patch can be placed. Since it is desirable to remove the barricades before dark there are only 7-8 hours for the concrete to reach the required strength. There exists a need for a concrete that can reach the necessary strength (modulus of rupture = 500 psi) in 7-8 hours. The purpose of this study is to determine if type III cement and/or an accelerator can be used in an M-4 mix to yield a fast setting patch with very little shrinkage. It is recognized that calcium chloride is a corrosive material and may therefore have detrimental effects upon the reinforcing steel. The study of these effects, however, is beyond the scope of this investigation.
