Este estudo tem como propostas pensar os processos formativos que acontecem nos movimentos estudantis e como as experiências vivenciadas neste espaçotempo influenciaram e influenciam práticas educacionais que busquem ser mais democráticas. Assim, neste texto, dedicar-me-ei a refletir um pouco mais sobre a noção de democracia que venho assumindo nesta pesquisa e meus caminhos formativos como pesquisadora e professora. Dialogo com Oliveira (2009) e Santos (2007) para pensar a democracia, partindo da noção de que uma sociedade seria realmente democrática quando as relações tecidas entre os diferentes conhecimentos, culturas e valores se darem de maneira horizontal, nas quais não sejam estabelecidas formas de inferiorização e marginalização entre as diferentes perspectivas de estar no mundo. Este trabalho parte da ideia de que as experiências vividas por ex-militantes/praticantes dos movimentos estudantis ajudam na promoção de subjetividades mais democráticas eo fortalecimento desta premissa se dá através das narrativas de professores/professoras que tiveram experiências nos espaçostempos dos movimentos estudantis. Assim, procuro tecer uma narrativa através do compartilhamento de diferentes experiências docentes, não como objetivo de qualificar ou quantificar o grau de democracia desenvolvida nessas práticas, mas sim, de apresentar que são múltiplas as práticas que partilham da noção de solidariedade entre os conhecimentos, valores e sentimentos, ocorrendo elas dentrofora do ambiente escolar.

Esta dissertação tem como centralidade investigar as narrativas de professores que atuaram no segmento da Educação Infantil do Centro Educacional de Niterói (CEN), entre 1980 e 2006. Esta pesquisa busca compreender, em um mergulho nas abordagens (auto)biográficas, como estes docentes viveram as ações de formação, ou de (trans)formação, desenvolvidas no espaçotempo desta escola, percebidas como movimentos instituintes. Por último, busca compreender os impactos que a experiência de ser docente no CEN, ou tornar-se doCENte, trouxe para a construção de sua identidade e de sua atuação pedagógica. Para a consecução destes objetivos, tornou-se necessário, em paralelo, compreender a escola e suas principais marcas identitárias. Sendo assim, a dissertação contempla também uma investigação sobre o contexto histórico de sua criação no final da década de 1950 e início da década de 1960. Elementos de uma viagem foram tomados como metáfora a fim de elucidar o itinerário da pesquisa e, assim, refletir acerca dos referenciais teóricos metodológicos que a perpassam e fundamentam, tais como os conceitos de história, experiência, narrativas (auto)biográficas, formação docente, movimentos instituintes, conversas e análise de conteúdo. A partir do entrelaçamento destes conceitos, tomados como fundamentais à investigação, da interlocução com o contexto histórico institucional e das conversas com os professores, vividas como parte do trabalho de pesquisa, esta dissertação busca compreender discursos, processos de formação e espaços formativos. Dentre as muitas reflexões que a pesquisa proporciona, destaco: a importância da busca pelo conhecimento como elemento constitutivo da identidade docente, ou seja, a formação docente deve ter com preocupação central a formação de professores pesquisadores; a necessidade do estreitamento do diálogo entre escola e universidade; e a transformação de cada escola em centro de formação docente, em fórum de discussão e construção de saberes e fazeres, em uma perspectiva pessoal e coletiva.

We study the topological defects in the nonlinear O(3) sigma model in terms of the decomposition of U(1) gauge potential. Time-dependent baby skyrmions are discussed in the (2 + 1)-dimensional spacetime with the CP1 field. Furthermore, we show that there are three kinds of topological defects-vortex lines, point defects and knot exist in the (3 + 1)-dimensional model, and their topological charges, locations and motions are determined by the phi-mapping topological current theory.

Based on a relativistic hydrodynamic model describing the evolution of the chemically equilibrating quark-gluon plasma system with finite baryon density in a 3+1-dimensional spacetime, we compute photons from the quark phase, hadronic phase and initial non-thermal contributions. It is found that due to the effects of the initial quark chemical potential, chemical equilibration and rapid expansion of the system, the photon yield of the quark-gluon plasma is strongly suppressed, and photons from hadronic matter and initial non-thermal contributions almost reproduce experimental data.

We investigate the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSL) in generalized theories of gravity. We examine the total entropy evolution with time including the horizon entropy, the non-equilibrium entropy production, and the entropy of all matter, field and energy components. We derive a universal condition to protect the generalized second law and study its validity in different gravity theories. In Einstein gravity (even in the phantom-dominated universe with a Schwarzschild black hole), Lovelock gravity and braneworld gravity, we show that the condition to keep the GSL can always be satisfied. In f ( R) gravity and scalar-tensor gravity, the condition to protect the GSL can also hold because the temperature should be positive, gravity is always attractive and the effective Newton constant should be an approximate constant satisfying the experimental bounds.

We study the relation between the thermodynamics and field equations of generalized gravity theories on the dynamical trapping horizon with sphere symmetry. We assume the entropy of a dynamical horizon as the Noether charge associated with the Kodama vector and point out that it satisfies the second law when a Gibbs equation holds. We generalize two kinds of Gibbs equations to Gauss-Bonnet gravity on any trapping horizon. Based on the quasilocal gravitational energy found recently for f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor gravity in some special cases, we also build up the Gibbs equations, where the nonequilibrium entropy production, which is usually invoked to balance the energy conservation, is just absorbed into the modified Wald entropy in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime with slowly varying horizon. Moreover, the equilibrium thermodynamic identity remains valid for f(R) gravity in a static spacetime. Our work provides an alternative treatment to reinterpret the nonequilibrium correction and supports the idea that the horizon thermodynamics is universal for generalized gravity theories.

We derive the generalized Friedmann equation governing the cosmological evolution inside the thick brane model in the presence of two curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet curvature term. We find two effective four-dimensional reductions of the generalized Friedmann equation in some limits and demonstrate that the reductions but not the generalized Friedmann equation can be rewritten as the first law of equilibrium thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of thick braneworld.

Duality is investigated for higher spin (s ≥ 2), free, massless, bosonic gauge fields. We show how the dual formulations can be derived from a common "parent", first-order action. This goes beyond most of the previous treatments where higher-spin duality was investigated at the level of the equations of motion only. In D = 4 spacetime dimensions, the dual theories turn out to be described by the same Pauli-Fierz (s = 2) or Fronsdal (s ≥ 3) action (as it is the case for spin 1). In the particular s = 2 D = 5 case, the Pauli-Fierz action and the Curtright action are shown to be related through duality. A crucial ingredient of the analysis is given by the first-order, gauge-like, reformulation of higher spin theories due to Vasiliev. © SISSA/ISAS 2003.

We study the problem of consistent interactions for spin-3 gauge fields in flat spacetime of arbitrary dimension 3$">n>3. Under the sole assumptions of Poincaré and parity invariance, local and perturbative deformation of the free theory, we determine all nontrivial consistent deformations of the abelian gauge algebra and classify the corresponding deformations of the quadratic action, at first order in the deformation parameter. We prove that all such vertices are cubic, contain a total of either three or five derivatives and are uniquely characterized by a rank-three constant tensor (an internal algebra structure constant). The covariant cubic vertex containing three derivatives is the vertex discovered by Berends, Burgers and van Dam, which however leads to inconsistencies at second order in the deformation parameter. In dimensions 4$">n>4 and for a completely antisymmetric structure constant tensor, another covariant cubic vertex exists, which contains five derivatives and passes the consistency test where the previous vertex failed. © SISSA 2006.

The space–time dynamics of rigid inhomogeneities (inclusions) free to move in a randomly fluctuating fluid bio-membrane is derived and numerically simulated as a function of the membrane shape changes. Both vertically placed (embedded) inclusions and horizontally placed (surface) inclusions are considered. The energetics of the membrane, as a two-dimensional (2D) meso-scale continuum sheet, is described by the Canham–Helfrich Hamiltonian, with the membrane height function treated as a stochastic process. The diffusion parameter of this process acts as the link coupling the membrane shape fluctuations to the kinematics of the inclusions. The latter is described via Ito stochastic differential equation. In addition to stochastic forces, the inclusions also experience membrane-induced deterministic forces. Our aim is to simulate the diffusion-driven aggregation of inclusions and show how the external inclusions arrive at the sites of the embedded inclusions. The model has potential use in such emerging fields as designing a targeted drug delivery system.

This paper considers a Q-ary orthogonal direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system with high-rate space-time linear dispersion codes (LDCs) in time-varying Rayleigh fading multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels. We propose a joint multiuser detection, LDC decoding, Q-ary demodulation, and channel-decoding algorithm and apply the turbo processing principle to improve system performance in an iterative fashion. The proposed iterative scheme demonstrates faster convergence and superior performance compared with the V-BLAST-based DS-CDMA system and is shown to approach the single-user performance bound. We also show that the CDMA system is able to exploit the time diversity offered by the LDCS in rapid-fading channels.
