Oferta de trabajo y análisis impositivo con el ordenador: tutorial y actividad práctica

En el presente documento proponemos un ejercicio tutorial y una práctica docente que permita al estudiante a asimilar y entender mejor el concepto de exceso de gravamen o pérdida irrecuperable de eficiencia asociada a la imposición. Para ello planteamos, en primer lugar, un modelo de elección individual entre ocio y trabajo/consumo. Centrándonos en el individuo representativo, estudiamos su elección de horas de trabajo en ausencia de impuestos. A continuación, introducimos un impuesto proporcional sobre la renta del trabajo y, alternativamente, un impuesto de suma fija capaz de generar una recaudación igual. Verificamos que el impuesto proporcional siempre deja al individuo con un nivel de bienestar inferior respecto al escenario del impuesto de suma fija, es decir, que el impuesto proporcional genera una pérdida irrecuperable de eficiencia. Aunque la resolución manual del problema es factible, proponemos utilizar la herramienta Solver de Excel. Esto nos permite jugar de manera más ágil con los valores de los diferentes parámetros y verificar que hay pérdida de eficiencia independientemente de que el individuo decida trabajar más o menos horas en respuesta a la introducción del impuesto sobre la renta del trabajo

Quimiometria I: calibração multivariada, um tutorial

The aim of this work is to present a tutorial on Multivariate Calibration, a tool which is nowadays necessary in basically most laboratories but very often misused. The basic concepts of preprocessing, principal component analysis (PCA), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) are given. The two basic steps on any calibration procedure: model building and validation are fully discussed. The concepts of cross validation (to determine the number of factors to be used in the model), leverage and studentized residuals (to detect outliers) for the validation step are given. The whole calibration procedure is illustrated using spectra recorded for ternary mixtures of 2,4,6 trinitrophenolate, 2,4 dinitrophenolate and 2,5 dinitrophenolate followed by the concentration prediction of these three chemical species during a diffusion experiment through a hydrophobic liquid membrane. MATLAB software is used for numerical calculations. Most of the commands for the analysis are provided in order to allow a non-specialist to follow step by step the analysis.

O modelamento estatístico de misturas: experimento tutorial usando voltametria de redissolução anódica

This work illustrates the modeling procedure for a solvent mixture using the simplex- centroid approach. The selected experiment was the optimization of the peak current observed in the direct determination of nickel by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) in a solvent mixture composed of N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol and water. The text is presented in a tutorial way, showing in detail the several steps which must be followed in such a process. Since not all possible mixtures lead to a measurable instrumental response, pseudocomponents had to be used to rescale the experimental design. This also allows to show how to apply this tool, usually troublesome for non-specialists in mixture modeling procedures.

Quimiometria II: planilhas eletrônicas para cálculos de planejamentos experimentais, um tutorial

This work describes, through examples, a simple way to carry out experimental design calculations applying an spreadsheets. The aim of this tutorial is to introduce an alternative to sophisticated commercial programs that normally are too complex in data input and output. An overview of the principal methods is also briefly presented. The spreadsheets are suitable to handle different types of computations such as screening procedures applying factorial design and the optimization procedure based on response surface methodology. Furthermore, the spreadsheets are sufficiently versatile to be adapted to specific experimental designs.

Coneixement lingüístic i matemàtic d'escolars de nivel sociocultural baix en programes d'immersió = Linguistic and mathematic knowledge in pupils of low sociocultural level in immersiom programmes

This piece of research compares knowledge of Catalan, Castilian and mathematics, as well as the attitudes to these two languages, of a sample of non-Catalan speaking pupils of low sociocultural level in their fourth year of primary school. Some of the pupils had followed an immersion programme in Catalan, whereas others had approached Catalan through their habitual language (Castilian). The findings show that not only did the immersion pupils obtain significantly better results in L2 (Catalan), but their mother tongue (Castilian) competence was undiminished and their performance on the mathematics test was superior to that of the other group. Moreover, the findings indicate that in pupils starting out from less favourable conditions (a low sociocultural level and a low I.Q.) the effect of the educational approach variable is greater than in other cases

Experimento didático de quimiometria para análise exploratória de óleos vegetais comestíveis por espectroscopia no infravermelho médio e análise de componentes principais: um tutorial, parte I

As a practical example it is shown the exploratory analysis of edible vegetable oils by mid infrared spectroscopy.

Experimento didático de quimiometria para calibração multivariada na determinação de paracetamol em comprimidos comerciais utilizando espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo: um tutorial, parte II

The aim of this manuscript was to show the basic concepts and practical application of Partial Least Squares (PLS) as a tutorial, using the Matlab computing environment for beginners, undergraduate and graduate students. As a practical example, the determination of the drug paracetamol in commercial tablets using Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression was shown, an experiment that has been successfully carried out at the Chemical Institute of Campinas State University for chemistry undergraduate course students to introduce the basic concepts of multivariate calibration in a practical way.

Experimento didático de quimiometria para planejamento de experimentos: avaliação das condições experimentais na determinação espectrofotométrica de ferro II com o-fenantrolina. Um tutorial, parte III

The objective of this manuscript is to describe a practical experiment that can be employed for teaching concepts related to design of experiments using Matlab or Octave computing environment to beginners, undergraduate and graduate students. The classical experiment for determination of Fe (II) using o-phenanthroline was selected because it is easy to understand, and all the required materials are readily available in most analytical laboratories. The approach used in this tutorial is divided in two steps: first, the students are introduced to the concept of multivariate effects, how to calculate and interpret them, and the construction and evaluation of a linear model to describe the experimental domain by using a 2³ factorial design. Second, an extension of the factorial design by adding axial points is described, thereby, providing a central composite design. The quadratic model is then introduced and used to build the response surface.

Avaliação formativa em sessão tutorial: concepções e dificuldades

A proposta deste trabalho é apreender concepções de estudantes e tutores sobre a avaliação formativa nas sessões tutoriais de um currículo PBL, identificando as dificuldades enfrentadas no desenvolvimento dessa prática. Um questionário Likert foi aplicado a 11 tutores e 45 discentes do sétimo período do curso de Medicina da Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros e uma entrevista de aprofundamento foi realizada com a totalidade dos tutores e 20 estudantes. Os entrevistados percebem a proposta formativa da avaliação na sessão tutorial, definindo-a como processual, reflexiva, dialógica, diagnóstica, e enfatizam a possibilidade de feedback como fator motivador e determinante para solucionar as deficiências detectadas e reforçar as potencialidades percebidas. São identificadas dificuldades relacionadas ao desempenho dos docentes, como falta de preparo, ao desempenho dos estudantes (falta de sinceridade, maturidade) e outras decorrentes da inadequação dos critérios utilizados nos instrumentos avaliativos. Os resultados apontam a necessidade de programas de desenvolvimento docente e discente em avaliação, assim como maior compromisso das instituições que utilizam a metodologia Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas na busca contínua e reflexiva da coerência com os pressupostos pedagógicos estabelecidos pelo currículo.
