O papel do recreador de acampamentos como educador

As atividades de recreação e lazer podem apresentar um alto teor educativo, sendo coadjuvantes importantes no processo educacional, entretanto, torna-se necessária a atuação de um profissional competente, o qual possa estar consciente de suas funções e ações, inclusive, quando lida em ambiente não-formal de educação, como é o caso dos acampamentos, vivenciados nos momentos destinados ao lazer. Este estudo de natureza qualitativa teve por objetivo investigar, na visão dos próprios profissionais da recreação atuantes em acampamentos educacionais, como eles percebem seu papel como educador e como contribuem na formação sociocultural dos acampantes. O trabalho desenvolveuse em duas etapas, a primeira com uma revisão de literatura acerca do tema e a segunda com uma pesquisa exploratória, utilizando-se como instrumento um questionário contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas. A amostra foi composta por 27 participantes, de ambos os sexos, com idade média de 22 anos e 6 meses, de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos e com envolvimento na atividade há mais de um ano. Os dados coletados foram analisados descritivamente, utilizando-se a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo e indicam que todos os sujeitos do estudo, acreditam contribuir efetivamente para mudanças positivas de conduta dos acampantes e em sua formação sociocultural. Esses profissionais são, portanto, conscientes de sua função educativa, entretanto, apontaram a necessidade de se envolverem com este propósito, buscando as melhores estratégias para o fim educacional, sem perder as peculiaridades do ambiente lúdico. A partir disto, conclui-se que experiências significativas no âmbito do lazer, como as dos acampamentos educacionais, são capazes de contribuir em aspectos educacionais e socioculturais, por meio da atuação de um recreador competente

Atividade de forrageio de trachymyrmex tucumanus FOREL, 1914 (hymenoptera, formicidae) em áreas antropizadas

As formigas da tribo Attini são especializadas na produção de fungos com os quais possuem uma relação de mutualismo, e para tanto, possuem várias estratégias de forrageamento de substrato de acordo com o gênero. Sabe-se que a atividade de forrageio é um comportamento social que varia sob influência de diversos fatores ambientais, tais como a estação do ano, temperatura, umidade relativa, estágio de desenvolvimento do ninho e período de reprodução. Neste contexto, ainda se conhece muito pouco sobre as técnicas utilizadas pelas formigas do gênero Trachymyrmex para busca de alimento. Por esta razão, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a atividade de forrageio e coleta de substrato por colônias de Trachymyrmex tucumanus em áreas antropizadas, verificando o período do ano e do dia em que a atividade ocorre com maior intensidade, e quais as categorias de alimentos coletados por esse grupo de formigas. Durante o estudo, que transcorreu de dezembro de 2009 à setembro de 2010, foram acompanhados 10 ninhos, quatro por estação, sendo que alguns se repetiram em diferentes estações. No total foram feitos quatro dias de observações, um a cada três meses. Foi feita a contagem de operárias que entram no ninho a cada 2h por 20 minutos consecutivos com auxílio de um contador. Ao longo das observações foi possível identificar um padrão de atividade que se intensifica no final da tarde, quando a temperatura do solo é mais amena e a umidade do ar aumenta. Quando comparada a atividade de busca das operárias ao decorrer do ano constatou-se uma queda na atividade conforme se aproxima o período de seca. A maior atividade de forrageio se deu durante a primavera e o verão, que são estações mais chuvosas. Através da observação do material coletado pelas operárias foi possível identificar materiais vegetais, tais como, folhas secas, sementes, casca de frutas e algumas folhas verdes de gramíneas

Modelos de tratamento para adenocarcinomas de próstata tratados por radioterapia conformacional 3D

Radiotherapy is a branch of medical physics related to the treatment of malignant neoplasm, being an important instrument in the fight against cancer, when combined with the effort of a multidisciplinary team, composed of, physicians, physicists, nurses and technicians. Every year more than 3.5 million new cases of cancer are recorded in the world, being the prostate cancer responsible for approximately 25% of this amount (INCA and IARC, 2008). In this type of cancer, radiotherapy is a method indicated for treatement. The technological advance in this area over years has allowed a greater accuracy in the tumor location, more conformation of the radiation beam around the tumor, reducing the dose in healthy tissues and a consequent dose increase on treatment (Bedford et al., 1999). A radiotherapy planning, in which the physicist develops an important role, is composed of several steps, including choosing the best configuration of treatment beams. This choice has a close relationship with success of therapy and is critical to achieve the best distribution of dose inside the tumor and expose the least as possible the healthy tissue to radiation. In this work, two options for setting up camps in the first phase in a treatment of prostate cancer were simulated in computer planning: 4 fields orthogonal or “Box” with gantry angles in 00, 1800, 2700 e 90° and 4 fields angled or “X” (1350, 450, 3150 e 2250). The percentage of the rectal volume exposed to 40, 50, 60, 72 and 76 Gy should be limited to 60, 50, 25, 15 and 5% respectively (Greco et al., 2003). The femoral toxicity have limited dose by 70% of the total dose prescribed in a prostate treatment (Bedford et al., 1999). The planning of 27 patients with prostate adenocarcinoma submitted to 3D conformal radiotherapy were accompanied. As a result, it was assessed that the best TCP (tumor control probability)...

Una lapide in via Mazzini: os sofrimentos em Auschwitz e os desafios da tradução

Giorgio Bassani in his book Una lapide in via Mazzin seeks to show to the readers all the sufferings passed by Italians during the Second World War and emphasized those persists until today. Aiming to make an unprecedented translation of this tale, it is expected that the text provides us great experiences in the language and we could see the actual difficulties and differences with the Portuguese language, despite being considered these languages closed ones. The objective of this work is to produce a translation that allows us to transmit all anxieties and reflections suffered by the main character of the tale. After the war, the survivor of the concentration camp can go back to your city. He appears exactly at the moment is being placed a headstone on the synagogue wall in homage to Jews deported and killed in the camps. Given the gaunt figure of the man with his striped pajamas, the population is driven to rethink their own indifference and , in a way, its share of blame. Thus, the return should be celebrated is rejected and the figure of the survivor becomes a nuisance. The function of the headstone is actually and literally put a stone on the story. To achieve the proposed objective for this work, we analyzed all the chapters of the story Una lapide in via Mazzini and tried to find equivalents in Portuguese. However, we not ignored the traces of meaning that Giorgio Bassani invested in his work. Therefore, it was necessary to use both printed and virtual dictionaries. With the advancement of the translation work, we realized the difficulty of finding appropriate solutions to achieve the desired effect . The fidelity proposed by the author became increasingly difficult as our work progressed. In the course of all the discussions, it was concluded that , in fact , when it comes to translation, maintaining fidelity to the original text in a foreign language is a difficult and laborious process

O Movimento Sem Terra e a educação escolar: a trajetória de uma pedagogia para além dos muros da escola

This article developed some thoughts on the model of education and elementary education school located in camps and settlements in the Landless Movement (MST), between the last decade of the twentieth century and the beginning of the first decade of this century. The discussions were conducted employing as reference some texts published in the Caderno de Educação nº. 13, named “Dossiê MST Escola” Through a synthesized analysis of these documents, we found that the MST argues for a theoretical and practical education, geared towards the reality of d student, which is based on humanistic principles and of cooperation, being able to create in the student landless movement a critical consciousness capable of make it a subject of transformative action.

Resolving conflicts with Canada geese: an animal welfare perspective

The scope and significance of human conflicts with urban and suburban Canada goose populations has been growing rapidly since the mid 1980s. A lack of basic understanding about the biology and ecology of locally abundant goose populations has led, in part, to argument between opposing camps over the appropriate approaches and methodologies to resolve human-goose conflicts. Animal welfare interests have focused on the humaneness of roundup and slaughter programs, and advocated non-lethal approaches coupled with what they view as the more benign population control activity of egg addling. Some traditional wildlife managers have argued that non-lethal approaches have been tried and have failed, and that procedures such as addling do not work quickly or effectively. Differences have led to legal confrontations that absorb considerable energy and effort and may make cooperative involvement more difficult. This paper articulates some of the arguments that comprises the basis for the perspective of animal welfarists. It ends with a call for greater cooperation and involvement between all interests concerned with Canada geese.

Impaired beta-adrenoceptor-induced relaxation in small mesenteric arteries from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats is due to reduced K-Ca channel activity

beta-Adrenoceptor (beta-AR)-mediated relaxation plays an important role in the regulation of vascular tone. beta-AR-mediated vascular relaxation is reduced in various disease states and aging. We hypothesized that beta-AR-mediated vasodilatation is impaired in DOCA-salt hypertension due to alterations in the cAMP pathway. beta-AR-mediated relaxation was determined in small mesenteric arteries from DOCA-salt hypertensive and control uninephrectomized (Uni) rats. To exclude nitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways, relaxation responses were determined in the presence of L-NNA and indomethacin, NO synthase inhibitor and COX inhibitors, respectively. Isoprenaline (ISO)-induced relaxation was reduced in arteries from DOCA-salt compared to Uni rats. Protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors (H89 or Rp-cAMPS) or adenylyl cyclase inhibitor (SQ22536) did not abolish the difference in ISO-induced relaxation between the groups. Forskolin (adenylyl cyclase activator)-induced relaxation was similar between the groups. The inhibition of IKCa/SKCa channels (TRAM-34 plus UCL1684) or BKCa channels (iberiotoxin) reduced ISO-induced relaxation only in Uni rats and abolished the relaxation differences between the groups. The expression of SKCa channel was decreased in DOCA-salt arteries. The expression of BKCa channel a subunit was increased whereas the expression of BKCa channel p subunit was decreased in DOCA-salt arteries. The expression of receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1), which is a binding protein for BKG, channel and negatively modulates its activity, was increased in DOCA-salt arteries. These results suggest that the impairment of beta-AR-mediated relaxation in DOCA-salt mesenteric arteries may be attributable to altered IKCa/SKCa and/or BKCa channels activities rather than cAMP/PKA pathway. Impaired beta-AR-stimulated BKCa channel activity may be due to the imbalance between its subunit expressions and RACK1 upregulation. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Liberalism, Marxism and Democratic Theory Revisited: Proposal of a Joint Index of Political and Economic Democracy

Liberalism and Marxism are two schools of thought which have left deep imprints in sociological, political and economic theory. They are usually perceived as opposite, rival approaches. In the field of democracy there is a seemingly insurmountable rift around the question of political versus economic democracy. Liberals emphasize the former, Marxists the latter. Liberals say that economic democracy is too abstract and fuzzy a concept, therefore one should concentrate on the workings of an objective political democracy. Marxists insist that political democracy without economic democracy is insufficient. The article argues that both propositions are valid and not mutually exclusive. It proposes the creation of an operational, quantifiable index of economic democracy that can be used alongside the already existing indexes of political democracy. By using these two indexes jointly, political and economic democracy can be objectively evaluated. Thus, the requirements of both camps are met and maybe a more dialogical approach to democracy can be reached in the debate between liberals and Marxists. The joint index is used to evaluate the levels of economic and political democracy in the transition countries of Eastern Europe.
