BRINGING STREET ART TO SCHOOL: OPEN TO INCLUDE

Inclusive Education values differences by reducing barriers to learning and promoting active participation and positive interactions between all members of school community. Nowadays, school faces numerous children/adolescents who for several reasons have developed challenging behaviours and high risk of dropping out school. They come often from socio-cultural-economic minority groups and have sometimes a repeated course of academic failure. Art has had the ability to bring together the interests of all, even of the most unsuitable. In this paper, the authors present an intervention through street art/graffiti done in a secondary school, with a ninth grade class covered by PIEF Programme. The project aimed to understand if the integration of graffiti art in educational process had impact on challenging behaviour. The study, with a qualitative methodology, shows contributions of artistic experience as an asset to educational development of students with challenging behaviours contributing to a better school and inclusion.

De patronato agrícola à Escola Agrotécnica Federal de Castanhal: o que a história do currículo revela sobre as mudanças e permanências no currículo de uma instituição de ensino técnico?

Este estudo insere-se no campo da História do Currículo e tem como objetivo central pesquisar as mudanças e permanências curriculares identificadas em decorrência das diferentes prescrições oficiais que foram implementadas na instituição, atualmente denominada de Escola Agrotécnica Federal de Castanhal, desde sua criação em 1/12/1921, como Patronato Agrícola Manoel Barata, até as recentes reformas implantadas pela LDB n° 9394/1996. Para coleta de dados sobre a História do Currículo desta instituição fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa documental nos arquivos da instituição, no Arquivo Público do Estado do Pará e no Setor de Obras Raras do CENTUR Esta coleta de dados foi realizada para selecionar documentos e fontes iconográficas sobre a instituição, referente ao período pesquisado. A pesquisa bibliográfica subsidiou a caracterização e os eventos que ocorreram na sociedade brasileira e paraense do período pesquisado (1921-1996). Após este levantamento de dados, a análise por nós desenvolvida seguiu três eixos de investigação: primeiramente buscou-se desvelar as condições sócio-político-econômicas vividas pelo Brasil e pelo Estado do Pará durante a República até a década de 1990; em seguida identificaram-se as políticas que foram estabelecidas para o ensino agrícola, para finalmente delimitar quais as influências desta realidade mais ampla no currículo oficial adotado pela EAFC-P A . A partir das análises feitas nos currículos prescritos adotados na instituição, conclui-se que, ao longo de sua existência, a EAFC-P A, como instituição oficial de ensino profissional na área agropecuária, vem adotando estes modelos curriculares para atender imperativos sóciopolíticos, econômicos de cada época.

Hutchison Family Papers - Accession 19

The Hutchison Family Papers consist of diaries, journals, speeches, correspondence, genealogical material and financial papers, concerning the personal and business affairs of a Rock Hill family. Subjects include post-colonial life in the Carolinas, the antebellum plantation system in South Carolina, post-Civil War cotton farming, especially the Rock Hill Cotton Mill, and Rock Hill during World War I. There is also material concerning relations and negotiations with the Catawba Indians by David Hutchison who was one of several commissioners designated by the South Carolina legislature to investigate Catawba land claims and leasing practices; and historical sketches of Glencairn Garden, the White House and the Oakland Avenue Presbyterian Church, all located in Rock Hill, South Carolina. There are also included in the “General Correspondence and Related Papers” series such records as: last will and testament, inventory lists, certificates of indentured servants, legislative acts, (eg. 1840 Treaty with the Catawba Indians) and other similar documents. Correspondents include Jude Grimke, A.E. Hutchison, David Hutchison, Hiram Hutchison, James Moore, John N. Morehead and Thomas Spratt.

Descriptions, isotopes and minerals of sediments at DSDP Leg 64 Holes

Mineralogical and oxygen isotopic analyses of samples from Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 477, 481, and 477 in the Guaymas Basin indicate the existence of two distinct hydrothermal systems. In the first, at Sites 481 and 478, hot dolerite sills intruded into highly porous hemipelagic siliceous mudstones that were moderately rich in organic matter, thermally altered the adjacent sediments, and expelled hydrothermal pore fluids. The second, at Site 477 and active at present, is most probably caused by a recent igneous intrusion forming a magma chamber at shallow depth. In the first hydrothermal system, the main thermal reactions above and below the sills are dissolution of opal-A and formation of quartz, either directly or through opal-CT; formation of smectite; formation of analcime only above the sills; dissolution and recrystallization of calcite and occasional formation of dolomite or protodolomite. The d18O values of the hydrothermally altered sediments range from 9.9 to 12.2 per mil (SMOW). The d18O values of recrystallized calcites above the first sill complex, Site 481, indicate temperatures of 140° to 170°C. No fluid recharge is required in this system. The thickness of the sill complexes and the sequence and depth of intrusion into the sediment column determine the thickness of the alteration zones, which ranges from 2 or 3 to approximately 50 meters. Generally, the hydrothermally altered zone is thicker above than below the sill. In the second type, the sediments are extensively recrystallized. The characteristic greenschist-facies mineral assemblage of quartz-albite-chlorite-epidote predominates. Considerable amounts of pyrite, pyrrhotite, and sphene are also present. The lowest d18O value of the greenschist facies rocks is 6.6 per mil, and the highest d18O value of the associated pore fluids is +1.38 per mil (SMOW). The paragenesis and the oxygen isotopes of individual phases indicate alteration temperatures of 300 ± 50°C. On the basis of the oxygen isotopes of the solids and associated fluids, it is concluded that recharge of fluids is required. The water/rock ratio in wt.% is moderate, approximately 2/1 to 3/1 - higher than the calculated water/rock ratio of the hydrothermal system at the East Pacific Rise, 21 °N.
