O legislativo vai à escola : as instituições políticas e o poder legislativo no âmbito da educação regular

Discute a participação política de jovens e a sua relação com a educação formal. Argumentando a favor de mais conhecimento e envolvimento dos jovens na política institucionalizada, busca analisar as oportunidades abertas pelas normativas da educação e pelas inovações produzidas nos legislativos do país para a inclusão, no contexto da educação escolar, da temática das instituições políticas e do Poder Legislativo.

A self-closed system of equations of damage evolution

This paper introduces a statistical mesomechanical approach to the evolution of damage. A self-closed formulation of the damage evolution is derived.

Mass Energy and Flow in closed ecosystems

The general equations of biomass and energy transfer for an n-species, closed ecosystem are written. It is demonstrated how in "ecological time" the parameters describing the dynamics of biomass transfer are related to the parameters of energy transfer, such as respiration, fixation, and energy content. This relationship is determinate for the straight-chain ecosystem, and a simple example is worked out. The results show how the density dependent terms in population dynamics arise naturally, and how the stable system exhibits a hierarchy in energy per unit biomass. A procedure is proposed for extending the theory to include webbed systems, and the particular difficulties involved in the extension are brought before the scientific community for discussion.
