Ensino jurídico, cultura POP e cultura clássica

A série Cadernos FGV DIREITO RIO possui uma dimensão de diário de bordo, isto é, de registro para a posteridade das atividades pedagógicas, de pesquisa jurídica e de perspectiva sobre o mercado profissional do direito. Neste contexto, o presente volume registra uma experiência inovadora das escolas FGV DIREITO e RIO e FGV DIREITO SP, descrevendo e celebrando uma década de ensino jurídico por meio da cultura pop. Os docentes pioneiros nesta empreitada são os professores Gabriel Lacerda e José Garcez Ghirardi, que lecionam cursos respectivamente sobre ‘Direito e Cinema’ no Rio de Janeiro e sobre ‘Direito e Artes’ em São Paulo. Ensaios originais de ambos os professores se encontram neste volume, complementados por uma série de experiências docentes realizadas por outros professores das escolas FGV DIREITO RIO e FGV DIREITO SP. Além das experiências realizadas no Brasil, reunimos ensaios de duas referências internacionais sobre o ensino jurídico e a cultura pop, a saber, os professores Michael Asimow, da Stanford Law School, e Kathryn Brown, da Universidade de Tilburg.

Inovação pedagógica: um estudo emergente sobre as práticas pedagógicas na Escola Municipal de Frevo Maestro Fernando Borges. Recife - Pernambuco - Brasil

O presente estudo propõe-se a investigar as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas na Escola Municipal de Frevo do Recife, visando a identificar Inovação Pedagógica neste contexto escolar. O objetivo é compreender como a corporeidade se constitui enquanto processo que possibilita o desenvolvimento de ações pedagógicas inovadoras. Visando tal objeto a pesquisa fundamenta-se em estudos que abordam a relação educação e corporeidade. O estudo dividese em duas partes, uma epistemológica e a outra metodológica. A primeira parte fornece os fundamentos teóricos que sustentam o estudo, contextualizando a corporeidade enquanto elemento da linguagem educacional. Identifica o que os saberes científicos têm apontado sobre o corpo e sua relação com a área educacional, segundo os autores: Merleau-Ponty (1994), Alvin Toffler (1980), Seymour Papert (1994), Gimeno Sacristán (2002), Carlos Fino (2008), Jesus Maria Sousa (2005). A segunda parte contempla a abordagem etnográfica discutida por Georges Lapassade (2005), Roberto Macedo (2010), Laurence Bardin (1997). Participaram da pesquisa os professores e os estudantes adolescentes e jovens que frequentam a Escola de Frevo perquirida. Com base nas falas dos sujeitos investigados, obteve-se, como resultado, algumas categorias, as quais se podem destacar: A arte dançante enquanto espaço para a formação; valorização do frevo; a dança como expressão da emoção; a construção da identidade pernambucana a partir do frevo. Nesse sentido, os dados apontaram que a Escola de Frevo pesquisada apresenta práticas pedagógicas que possibilitam o desenvolvimento de aprendizagem significativa. Desse modo, pode-se inferir que as práticas pedagógicas propostas na Escola de Frevo, em estudo, possibilitaram práticas pedagógicas que incentivam e desenvolvem a formação humana, pois se observa, nos depoimentos dos estudantes investigados, a valorização e o reconhecimento social. Como fator inovador, constatou-se maior liberdade para se expressar, criar, ousar, num imbrincamento entre a tradição e a inovação. Com relação às práticas pedagógicas dançantes, destacou-se a compreensão numa visão de educação integral onde inventividade, ludicidade, sensualidade e energia pulsante, construíram aprendizagens próprias, mediante uma prática pedagógica singular que justifica esta ação investigadora contextualizada na Escola de Frevo investigada. Esta pesquisa possibilitou perceber que a intencionalidad pedagógica centrada no lúdico, na corporeidade, nas interações e nas inúmeras apresentações que reforçam as ações e podem levar à Inovação Pedagógica.

Anthelmintic efficacy of oral trichlorfon solution against ivermectin resistant nematode strains in cattle

Infected calves from two different rural estates in Brazil were studied to assess the anthelmintic efficacy of oral trichlorfon against naturally occurring ivermectin resistant parasitic nematode strains. In experiment 1, infected animals were from a region where ivermectin resistant populations of Haemoncus placei, Cooperia punctata,Cooperia spatulata and Trichuris discolor have recently been identified. Six calves with natural gastrointestinal nematode infections were treated with 48.5 mg/kg aqueous trichlorfon administered orally and six calves acted as a non-treated control group. In experiment 11 24 naturally infected calves were selected to enter one of four treatment groups, six animals each received: 48.5 mg/kg oral trichlorfon; 200 mu g/kg subcutaneous 1% ivermectin; 630 mu g/kg subcutaneous 3.15% ivermectin; or no treatment (control group). Gastrointestinal helminths were counted and identified post-mortem at 7 days (trichlorfon and 1% ivermectin treated and untreated animals) or 14 days (3.15% ivermectin treated and untreated animals) after administration of the test agents. Experiment I identified a high level efficacy for oral trichlorfon against four helminth species that have previously been shown to be ivermectin resistant in this geographical region: percentage efficacy was 99.82% against adult H. placei, 99.18% against C. punctata, 99.33% against C. spatulata, 81.06% against T. axei, 98.46% against Oesophagostomum radiatum and 100% against T. discolor. Trichlorfon also showed activity against the ivermectin (1% and 3.15%) resistant helminth species identified in experiment 11, attaining efficacy levels of 99.17% against H. placei, 98.46% against C punctata and 100.00% against T. discolor. These findings indicate that oral trichlorfon is an effective treatment option in the management of cattle infected with ivermectin resistant helminths. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

O Aleph e seus duplos: mimesis e auto-reflexividade na obra de Jorge Luis Borges

This study approach the Jorge Luis Borges s prose of fiction under the perspective of mimesis and the self-reflexivity. The hypothesis is that the Aleph is a central symbol of the Borges s fictional universe. The rewriting and the retake of this symbol along of his work entail to a reflection about the possibilities and the limits of mimesis. This study is divided in three parts which contain two chapters. The first part Bibliographic revision and conceptual fundaments of inquiry discuss the critical fortune of author (Chapter 1) and the concepts that will give sustentation to the inquiry (Chapter 2). The second part About the Borges s aesthetic project sketch out the literary project defended by Borges that is his conception of the literature and his ideological matrix (Chapter 3) beside his anti-psychologism and his nostalgia of epos (Chapter 4). The third and last part is entitled The Aleph and his doubles. In the chapter 5 this study analyses the short story El Aleph and consider its centrality on the Borges s work. The argument that is on this short story Borges elaborates a reflection about mimesis. In the chapter 6, on the same hand, four short stories will be analysed: Funes el memorioso ; El Libro de Arena ; El evangelio según Marcos and Del rigor en la ciencia . The conclusion that is the Borges s literature is self-awake of its process as such demonstrate its parodic sense and its bookish origin. Hence, the Borges s literature overlapping the mimetic crisis of language and challenge the limits between fiction and reality. However, it doesn t surrender to the nihilist perspective that is closing of literature to the world

Estimadores do tipo núcleo para Variávei s I.I.D. com espaço de estados geral

In this work, the paper of Campos and Dorea [3] was detailed. In that article a Kernel Estimator was applied to a sequence of random variables with general state space, which were independent and identicaly distributed. In chapter 2, the estimator´s properties such as asymptotic unbiasedness, consistency in quadratic mean, strong consistency and asymptotic normality were verified. In chapter 3, using R software, numerical experiments were developed in order to give a visual idea of the estimate process

Iatrogenic cortical aneurysm post-craniotomy

Taking into account the number of craniotomies performed every day around the world, iatrogenic aneurysm post-craniotomy is extremely rare with only anecdotal cases reported in literature. We report an iatrogenic aneurysm affecting a cortical vessel which probably developed during dural closure of a conventional craniotomy. The aneurysm was discovered 6 months after surgery on a routine control angiography. The patient was successfully treated by trapping the parent vessel and excising the aneurysm. Histopathological findings were compatible with a true type of traumatic aneurysm. The possibility of this rare condition occurring highlights the risk of arterial injury during craniotomy.

Aspectos físicos e mentais na qualidade de vida de pacientes com doença de Parkinson idiopática

A doença de Parkinson (DP) é um distúrbio crônico e progressivo, caracterizado pela degeneração de neurônios dopaminérgicos da substantia nigra mesencefálica. A lesão das vias subcorticais, em especial a nigro-estriato-palidal, é particularmente comum e ocasiona uma série de sinais e sintomas incapacitantes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a qualidade de vida (QV) relacionada à saúde de sujeitos com DP e compará-la à de indivíduos controles saudáveis. Foram avaliados 40 sujeitos com idades entre 61 e 83 anos, de ambos os sexos, que foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo Parkinson (n=21), composto por sujeitos com DP idiopática, e grupo controle (n=19), de indivíduos sem distúrbios neurodegenerativos. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada a versão brasileira do questionário Brasil SF-36. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente, com nível de significância fixado em 1%. Os sujeitos do grupo Parkinson apresentaram escores significativamente mais baixos do que os do grupo controle, tanto no domínio físico quanto no mental, medidos pelo SF-36. Essa baixa QV provavelmente é explicada pela co-ocorrência de fenômenos neurodegenerativos e do sofrimento psíquico gerado pela doença e pelo estigma que ela produz. Abordagens interdisciplinares devem ser estimuladas a pacientes com DP, com o objetivo de melhorar sua qualidade de vida e postergar o declínio físico e mental inerente às condições degenerativas.

Prevalence of rhinitis among Brazilian schoolchildren: ISAAC phase 3 results

Objective: The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) is a standardized method that allows international and regional comparisons of asthma and allergic diseases prevalence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of rhinitis and related symptoms among 6-7 year-old children (SC) and 13-14 year-old adolescents (AD) from 20 Brazilian cities applying the ISAA C's standardized written questionnaire (WQ). Methods: ISAAC's WQ was applied to 23,422 SC and 58,144 AD living in different regions of Brazil: North (N), Northeast (NE), Middle West (MW), Southeast (SE), and South (S). Results: The prevalence of rhinoconjunctivitis in the last year ranged from 10.3% to 17.4% and from 8.9% to 28.5% among SC and AD, respectively. Considering SC the highest values were observed in SE region. In NE, the prevalence in countryside centres was higher than those along the coast. Among AD, the highest values were observed in N and S regions, mainly in Pará (Belém). The evaluation of populations probably with the same genetic background has shown higher prevalence among those living in urban centres (capital) in comparison to those in the countryside. Conclusions: The prevalence of rhinitis and related symptoms were variable and predominate in Brazilian N and NE centres.

Is the prevalence of asthma and related symptoms among Brazilian children related to socioeconomic status?

Objective. To evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and the prevalence of asthma and related symptoms among Brazilian children. Methods. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) written questionnaire was applied to 23,457 six- to seven- year-old schoolchildren (SC) and 58,144 thirteen- to fourteen-year-old adolescents (AD) from 20 Brazilian cities. SES was evaluated by infant mortality index, poverty index, and average nominal income for people older than 10 years of age. Results. Current asthma ranged from 16.5% to 31.2% among SC and from 11.8% to 30.5% among AD and severe asthma from 2.9% to 8.5% (SC) and 2.6% to 9.1% (AD). Higher values were observed in Brazilian-Northern, -Northeastern and -Southeastern centers. No significant association between SES and prevalence of asthma and related symptoms was observed. Conclusions. In Brazil, the prevalence of asthma and related symptoms is quite variable and independent of SES. Copyright © 2008 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
