O futebol sobre a ótica do tema transversal trabalho e consumo

The cross-cutting themes, which are characteristic express concepts and values of citizenship and correspond to important and urgent issues to society, should be treated within the school context , for all disciplines . Just like football, specific content of physical education, which most often is approached only by the technical and tactical aspects. The aim of this study was to analyze football from the perspective of labor and consumption and to propose activities for teachers to this content and theme in physical education classes. We investigated, in particular, the influence brands, media and the effect of the globalization phenomenon in this sport, and later thematic activities. The methodology used was qualitative type, which is from a thick description of the details about the situation analyzed and evaluated. In the first step a literature survey was conducted to understand and analyze the topic of this work. In the second, the activities were prepared, with the teacher ways to treat football from the perspective of labor and consumption from the themes presented in the goal. The activities were directed to students in the 9th grade of elementary school. It is expected that with the study, football can be see addition to the procedural dimension in class and the teacher values the critical training, and labor relations and consumption Football and any other content of school physical education. Activities that assist teachers in their future projects, jobs and classes. It is also hoped that the sport can be studied and understood both historically and critically in Brazil, the football country

A professora-poeta

A evocação da experiência da poeta Lupe Cotrim como professora de Estética nos três primeiros anos da ECA-USP ressalta a sua liderança na criação de um diálogo entre alunos e professores de diferentes setores da Escola; a memória desta experiência luminosa, vivida pelo autor como aluno, dá ensejo a observações sobre o isolamento atual dos vários segmentos das artes e da comunicação na pesquisa e na formação dos alunos, tema que requer uma reflexão mais efetiva.

Do the physical discomforts from breast cancer treatments affect the sexuality of women who underwent mastectomy?

The objective of this integrative review is to analyze the scientific production addressing the sexuality of women with breast cancer following mastectomy, focused on the effects that the physical discomfort due to cancer treatments have on their sex life. The search included articles published in the period between 2000 and 2009 on the MEDLINE, LILACS and PsycINFO databases, using the following descriptors: mastectomy, breast neoplasms, sexuality, sexual behavior, amputation, psychosexual development, and marital relations. Nine articles were selected, which addressed the effects of the physical discomfort from cancer treatments on the patients' sexuality. The findings revealed that, even when the patient's sex life is intense and fulfilling before the disease, factors such as stress, pain, fatigue, insult to body image, and low self-esteem due to the treatments may alter the sexual functioning of the affected woman. Healthcare professionals must be sensitized in order to welcome and include the topic in policies as well as in preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies.

Dynamic services in mobile ad hoc networks

The increasing diffusion of wireless-enabled portable devices is pushing toward the design of novel service scenarios, promoting temporary and opportunistic interactions in infrastructure-less environments. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) are the general model of these higly dynamic networks that can be specialized, depending on application cases, in more specific and refined models such as Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks. Two interesting deployment cases are of increasing relevance: resource diffusion among users equipped with portable devices, such as laptops, smart phones or PDAs in crowded areas (termed dense MANET) and dissemination/indexing of monitoring information collected in Vehicular Sensor Networks. The extreme dynamicity of these scenarios calls for novel distributed protocols and services facilitating application development. To this aim we have designed middleware solutions supporting these challenging tasks. REDMAN manages, retrieves, and disseminates replicas of software resources in dense MANET; it implements novel lightweight protocols to maintain a desired replication degree despite participants mobility, and efficiently perform resource retrieval. REDMAN exploits the high-density assumption to achieve scalability and limited network overhead. Sensed data gathering and distributed indexing in Vehicular Networks raise similar issues: we propose a specific middleware support, called MobEyes, exploiting node mobility to opportunistically diffuse data summaries among neighbor vehicles. MobEyes creates a low-cost opportunistic distributed index to query the distributed storage and to determine the location of needed information. Extensive validation and testing of REDMAN and MobEyes prove the effectiveness of our original solutions in limiting communication overhead while maintaining the required accuracy of replication degree and indexing completeness, and demonstrates the feasibility of the middleware approach.

Infortuni sul lavoro e malattie professionali: danno e tutele

La tesi si occupa, con originalità e spunti di innovazione, del tema degli infortuni sul lavoro e tecnopatie, attraverso un'ottica del tutto nuova perchè attenta sia agli aspetti previdenziali (indennizzo Inail) e sia agli aspetti risarcitori (risarcimento dei danni differenziali e complementari). Lo studio, non scevro da analisi critiche, indaga in particolare sulla risarcibiità del danno c.d. differenziale e sperimenta le nuove poste risarcitorie applicabili, alla luce delle più recenti evoluzioni legislative e giurisprudenziali. L'Autore non trascura, infine, i complessi profili processuali a completamento delle tutele e le responsabilità sia del datore di lavoro (obbligato principale) e sia dei terzi.

Utilization of Probabilistic Models in Short Read Assembly from Second-Generation Sequencing

With the advent of cheaper and faster DNA sequencing technologies, assembly methods have greatly changed. Instead of outputting reads that are thousands of base pairs long, new sequencers parallelize the task by producing read lengths between 35 and 400 base pairs. Reconstructing an organism’s genome from these millions of reads is a computationally expensive task. Our algorithm solves this problem by organizing and indexing the reads using n-grams, which are short, fixed-length DNA sequences of length n. These n-grams are used to efficiently locate putative read joins, thereby eliminating the need to perform an exhaustive search over all possible read pairs. Our goal was develop a novel n-gram method for the assembly of genomes from next-generation sequencers. Specifically, a probabilistic, iterative approach was utilized to determine the most likely reads to join through development of a new metric that models the probability of any two arbitrary reads being joined together. Tests were run using simulated short read data based on randomly created genomes ranging in lengths from 10,000 to 100,000 nucleotides with 16 to 20x coverage. We were able to successfully re-assemble entire genomes up to 100,000 nucleotides in length.

Bevezető: utak és úton lévők

A kvalitatív módszerekkel nyert kutatási eredményeink értelmezése során a transznacionális tér, a transznacionális és az etnikai migráció elméleti és szemléleti kereteit egyaránt figyelembe vettük. Az általunk vizsgált migrációs folyamatok transznacionális térben zajlanak, és a transznacionális irodalomban leírt migráns élethelyzetek, gyakorlatok – különböző nemzetállamokban elhelyezkedő lokalitásokhoz való egyidejű, bár eltérő intenzitású kötődés, kapcsolatok – több példájával is találkoztunk. Ludger Pries nyomán a transznacionális migrációt és a transznacionális migráns alakját olyan ideáltípusnak tekintettük, amelyhez az egyes migráns utak és helyzetek csupán közelítenek, és empirikus eredményeink alapján azt mondhatjuk, hogy a valóban plurilokális, vagyis a két helyhez való egyidejű, intenzív és tartós kötődés s az ehhez kapcsolódó gyakorlatok csupán a migránsok kisebbségét, illetve a migrációs életpályák egy-egy szakaszát jellemzik. A vizsgált migrációs folyamatokban az etnicitás strukturális tényezőként és a migráns tapasztalatok értelmezési kereteként egyaránt perdöntő szerepet játszik. Az etnikai migráció szakirodalomban tárgyalt mindhárom magyarázó modellje – az anyaországba való hazatérés, a gazdasági okokból való, illetve a kisebbségi létben elszenvedett sérelmek által ösztönzött migráció – alkalmas a migrációt kiváltó és mozgató okok elemzésére, a migráns narratívák értelmezésére, azt azonban nem állíthatjuk, hogy bármelyikük kizárólagos érvényre tehet szert. Más kutatókhoz hasonlóan Rogers Brubaker meghatározását tartjuk a leginkább gyümölcsözőnek, aki az etnikai migráció tág értelmezését használva minden olyan vándorlási folyamatot etnikai migrációnak tekint, amelyben az etnicitás kulturális és szimbolikus tőkeként szabályozó szerepet játszik. This special issue of Tér és Társadalom presents some results of an international research project carried out by researchers from Switzerland, Hungary and Serbia between 2010 and 2012. The topic of the research was “Integrating (Trans-)national Migrants in Transition States” (TRANSMIG) and was financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The research aimed to explore and interpret migration flows from the Vojvodina (Serbia) to Hungary and from ex-Yugoslav republics to the Vojvodina. In the first period of the last twenty years, wars which contributed to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the formation of new national states have caused migration flows. After the change of the millennium, educational migration of Vojvodina Hungarian youth can be considered the most important migratory movement from the Vojvodina to Hungary. Labour (economic) migration also occurs, but this cannot be understood as a one-way movement, since in the Hungarian–Serbian border zone migrants from the Vojvodina who already resettled to Hungary commute to the Vojvodina. While interpreting the qualitative research data the theoretical frameworks and approaches of transnational space, transnationalism and ethnic migration were taken into consideration. The migration movement in question occurs in a transnational social space where migrants are in constant motion. By their movements and actions that space is continually recreated. With Ludger Pries we see a transnational migrant as an ideal type to whom individual migratory movements and positions only approximate. Based on our empirical results we can conclude that real pluri-local, intensive and long-lasting bonding to two places at the same time and the relating practices only characterise a minority of migrants and certain sections of migratory careers. In the migration processes studied, ethnicity as a term is needed as a “structural factor” and frame of interpretation to approach migrant experiences. All three explanatory models for ethnic migration – return migration, economic migration, migration motivated by grievances suffered in a minority situation – are suitable to analyse the reasons that initiated migration and kept it in motion. They are helpful in interpreting migrant narratives. However, none of the reasons can claim exclusive validity. Agreeing with other researchers, we find Roger Brubaker’s definition the most useful: Ethnic migration should be comprehended in a broad sense. In addition, every migration can be considered as “ethnically” motivated where ethnicity plays a dominant role as a cultural and symbolic capital.

Fuzzy Online Reputation Analysis Framework

The fuzzy online reputation analysis framework, or “foRa” (plural of forum, the Latin word for marketplace) framework, is a method for searching the Social Web to find meaningful information about reputation. Based on an automatic, fuzzy-built ontology, this framework queries the social marketplaces of the Web for reputation, combines the retrieved results, and generates navigable Topic Maps. Using these interactive maps, communications operatives can zero in on precisely what they are looking for and discover unforeseen relationships between topics and tags. Thus, using this framework, it is possible to scan the Social Web for a name, product, brand, or combination thereof and determine query-related topic classes with related terms and thus identify hidden sources. This chapter also briefly describes the youReputation prototype (www.youreputation.org), a free web-based application for reputation analysis. In the course of this, a small example will explain the benefits of the prototype.

Switzerland - Really Europe's Heart of Darkness?

Immigration is a prominent and contested global topic of contemporary politics. Several recent popular votes targeting migration such as the minaret initiative, the automatic deportation initiative, and most recently the vote on “mass immigration”, evoke however the impression that Switzerland sets particularly harsh standards in migration policy. Based on historical evidence on Swiss migration policy making and comparative analyses on current cantonal integration policy outputs, I argue that - while far from being a new phenomenon - immigrant scepticism has become a more relevant factor of Swiss migration policy making than ever. Yet, immigration and immigrant scepticism do not only challenge direct democratic Switzerland, but all destination countries of immigration.

El CIFOT como apoyo a la gestión gubernamental : inconveniente para la inversión minera

La falta de información sistematizada sobre reservas mineras causa desinterés de los capitales extranjeros, que demandan un conocimiento preciso sobre localización de yacimientos y un catastro saneado (con los títulos de propiedad correctos). En este artículo se presenta la experiencia del CIFOT en el trabajo solicitado a tales fines por la Dirección de Minería, denominado Situación de la Información Minera- Provincia de Mendoza, 1993" El objetivo principal fue evaluar la información disponible en la Dirección, procesarla, graficarla y generar cartografía temática a partir del uso de GIS, para ser presentada por las autoridades gubernamentales en Denver, USA, ante diversos inversores del sector. Se logra evidenciar la representatividad de la minería en Mendoza, por departamentos, la distribución de los yacimientos mineros, el estado de cada uno y la infraestructura vial de acceso. Esto permite a la Dirección de Minería implementar un sistema unificado de información minera, tarea que a posteriori es completada por el programa nacional PASMA.

Tradición clásica y retórica en el Aprilis Dialogus de Vicente López. La construcción de un espacio de autoridad

En 1755 se publica como prólogo o presentación de la Bibliotheca Mexicana de Juan José de Eguiara y Eguren, el Aprilis Dialogus de Vicente López, en el que se ofrece una contribución explícita a la defensa literaria del valor intelectual de los americanos. La obra se caracteriza por la fuerte presencia de la tradición clásica representada por el uso del diálogo, las citas, el manejo de ciertas figuras retóricas y el tópico literario dellocus amoenus. El Aprilis Dialogue, que en una de sus digresiones consagra a la ciudad de México como ellocus amoenus de la erudición, es un aporte al proceso de construcción de un espacio de autoridad compuesto por elementos de la cultura clásica y americana

El mar como personaje en cuatro obras de Manuel Vicent

En el siguiente artículo se pretende desarrollar la hipótesis del mar como personaje en cuatro obras de Manuel Vicent: Contra Paraíso, Tranvía a la Malvarrosa, Del Café Gijón a Ítaca y Son de Mar. A su vez se propone analizar la particular vinculación del autor con el mar Mediterráneo, su carácter de escenario vertebrador, y contemplar el tópico de la alteridad del mar como característica relevante dentro de las novelas mencionadas. Por ende, se pretende indagar en la consideración del mar como personaje, principalmente pensándolo como metáfora del hombre, junto con su constante presencia física y espiritual, su carácter de espacio interior (mar interior), sus diferentes relaciones con los sentidos y fundamentalmente desde su consistencia de personaje demiúrgico: en su calidad de posibilitador y develador de narraciones e historias y de compañero de otros personajes en las etapas clave de la vida

Tres problemas para el comparatismo

A mediados del siglo pasado la literatura comparada tradicional recibió severos cuestionamientos que llevaron en las últimas décadas a una intensa revisión de sus principios y asuntos todavía hoy en curso. Una breve síntesis de ese proceso servirá de introducción para plantear los problemas que presenta el abordaje de tres objetos de renovada actualidad desde esa disciplina: las historias de la literatura, el estudio de fenómenos literarios o culturales supranacionales y el antiguo tópico ut pictura poesis.
