Text and Interaction: A Performance Analysis Written in Present Evaluations of Pedagogy Students in the Distance Mode

This study aims to verify the use and mastery of linguistic knowledge in the writing process of Pedagogy students, in the form of Distance Education. The methodology was based on an exploratory analysis of texts produced in the face-to-face assessments that occurred in the first half of 2017. In the analysis of the answers, a descriptive graph of the errors and inadequacies observed was presented. The results show the commitment of writing to the meaning of the text, since this is a result of it. With this study, it was noticed that the university students have presented difficulties in expressing, in writing, their thoughts, their understandings and their opinions in an adequate and coherent way. Therefore, in order to minimize the anxiety experienced by these students at the time of writing, it is suggested that through the Instrumental Portuguese class, which part of the curriculum is, the linguistic aspects responsible for the production of meaning in texts and the interaction of the interlocutors. In order to meet the needs of undergraduate students, in the specific case of Pedagogy, since it concerns the training of teachers, professionals who will work in the literacy of children and young people and need to prioritize knowledge about language, reading and writing of these students

Recovery and partitioning of fibrinolytic protease from Bacillus sp. UFPEDA 485 by aqueous two-phase systems

Fibrinolytic proteases produced by Bacillus sp. has attracted interest in the pharmaceutical industry as a promising alternative in thrombolytic therapy due to their effectiveness in degrading fibrin, its production requiring the development of an efficient recovery process. Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) have been recognized as an efficient and economical process for recovering enzymes. To optimize the recovery of fibrinolytic protease from the fermentation broth of Bacillus sp. UFPEDA 485, a 23 full factorial design was used to evaluate the influence of the three independent variables PEG molar mass (MPEG), PEG concentration (CPEG) and sodium sulfate concentration (CNa2SO4) on the partition coefficient (K), purification factor (PF) and yield recovery (Y) of fibrinolytic protease in PEG/Na2SO4 aqueous two-phase system. For all ATPS studied, enzymes partitioned to the top phase and the highest extraction was obtained for MPEG 6000 g.mol-1, CPEG 24 % (w/w) and CNa2SO4 11.6 % (w/w) with K = 5.03; PF = 3.30; Y = 91.40% and Fibrinolytic activity in the top phase 821 U.mL-1. Findings reported here show that ATPS composed of PEG/Na2SO4 is a valuable strategy for the extraction of fibrinolytic protease and can be considered a promising method for the extraction of enzymes in industrial scale

Semiclassical thermodynamics of scalar fields

We present a systematic semiclassical procedure to compute the partition function for scalar field theories at finite temperature. The central objects in our scheme are the solutions of the classical equations of motion in imaginary time, with spatially independent boundary conditions. Field fluctuations -- both field deviations around these classical solutions, and fluctuations of the boundary value of the fields -- are resummed in a Gaussian approximation. In our final expression for the partition function, this resummation is reduced to solving certain ordinary differential equations. Moreover, we show that it is renormalizable with the usual 1-loop counterterms.Comment: 24 pages, 5 postscript figure

Coaching educacional na formação de professores para melhorar o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos do Instituto Federal de São Paulo

A educação necessita de novas práticas inovadoras para melhorar o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos, pois, na educação básica, os discentes são da geração Z – adeptos da realidade virtual. Essa geração nasceu na cibercultura e precisa de estímulos motivacionais para uma educação na era planetária, englobando questões políticas, econômicas, tecnológicas, culturais, ambientais e sociais, sob contexto dinâmico e de complexidade da contemporaneidade. Para isso, os professores devem aperfeiçoar sua prática pedagógica para os alunos aprenderem a aprender. O “coaching educacional” é um conjunto de ferramentas que tem por fim o autoconhecimento, aumentar o desempenho dos alunos, usar os conhecimentos adquiridos por estes para criar novos, transformar os limites de cada discente em recursos promissores, pensar e discutir metas e ações observando o passado visando o futuro focando na aceleração de resultados e felicidade. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é o uso da cultura “coaching educacional” na formação de professores com o propósito de melhorar o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos. A hipótese da mitigação é verificar se os professores capacitados na cultura “coaching educacional” aperfeiçoaram suas atividades no processo ensino e aprendizagem dos discentes. A metodologia da pesquisa fundamenta-se em duas fases: inicialmente, uma revisão das referências para o Estado da Arte, e, em seguida, pesquisas qualitativa e quantitativa para avaliar o uso da cultura “coaching” no processo ensino-aprendizagem. Os resultados, iniciais obtidos, foram bemsucedidos, isto é, houve uma maior eficácia dos alunos na aprendizagem orientados por professor formado na cultura “coaching educacional” do que aqueles docentes que não realizaram a capacitação. O curso de capacitação em “coaching educacional” será ampliado para novas ferramentas, pensando em aperfeiçoar ainda mais os resultados da aprendizagem e felicidade dos alunos.Éducation exige des pratiques innovantes pour améliorer le processus d'apprentissage des élèves, comme dans l'éducation de base, les étudiants sont la génération Z - ventilateurs de réalité virtuelle. Cette génération est née en cyberculture et ont besoin de stimuli de motivation pour l'éducation à l'ère planétaire, englobant les questions politiques, économiques, technologiques, culturels, environnementaux et sociaux dans le cadre contexte dynamique et de la complexité du monde contemporain. Pour cela, les enseignants devraient améliorer leur pratique de l'enseignement pour les étudiants d'apprendre à apprendre. Le “coaching pédagogique” est un ensemble d'outils qui a enfin la connaissance de soi, d'augmenter le rendement des élèves, en utilisant les connaissances acquises par eux pour créer de nouvelles, en transformant les limites de chaque étudiant en ressources prometteuses, réfléchir et discuter des objectifs et des actions d'observation le passé vise à l'avenir en mettant l'accent sur l'accélération de résultats et de bonheur. L'objectif de cette recherche est l'utilisation de la culture “coaching pédagogique” dans la formation des enseignants afin d'améliorer le processus d'apprentissage des élèves. L'hypothèse de l'atténuation est de savoir si les enseignants formés à la culture “coaching éducatif” perfectionné ses activités dans l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des élèves. La méthodologie de recherche repose sur deux phases: d'abord, un examen des références à l'état de l'art, et de la recherche puis qualitative et quantitative pour évaluer l'utilisation de la culture “coaching” dans le processus d'enseignement-apprentissage. Les résultats, obtenus au début, ont réussi, qui est, il était un étudiant plus efficace l'apprentissage guidé par un enseignant formé dans la culture “coaching pédagogique” que les enseignants qui ne suivent une formation. Le cours de formation sur le “coaching pédagogique” sera étendu à de nouveaux outils, en pensant encore améliorer les résultats d'apprentissage et le bonheur des étudiants.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Evaluating humidity recovery efficiency of currently available heat and moisture exchangers: a respiratory system model study

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and compare the efficiency of humidification in available heat and moisture exchanger models under conditions of varying tidal volume, respiratory rate, and flow rate. INTRODUCTION: Inspired gases are routinely preconditioned by heat and moisture exchangers to provide a heat and water content similar to that provided normally by the nose and upper airways. The absolute humidity of air retrieved from and returned to the ventilated patient is an important measurable outcome of the heat and moisture exchangers' humidifying performance. METHODS: Eight different heat and moisture exchangers were studied using a respiratory system analog. The system included a heated chamber (acrylic glass, maintained at 37°C), a preserved swine lung, a hygrometer, circuitry and a ventilator. Humidity and temperature levels were measured using eight distinct interposed heat and moisture exchangers given different tidal volumes, respiratory frequencies and flow-rate conditions. Recovery of absolute humidity (%RAH) was calculated for each setting. RESULTS: Increasing tidal volumes led to a reduction in %RAH for all heat and moisture exchangers while no significant effect was demonstrated in the context of varying respiratory rate or inspiratory flow. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that heat and moisture exchangers are more efficient when used with low tidal volume ventilation. The roles of flow and respiratory rate were of lesser importance, suggesting that their adjustment has a less significant effect on the performance of heat and moisture exchangers

Virtual Environment, Digital Hypertext, Reading and Writing in Foreign Language

This work intends to analyze - in an activity carried out with students from the third period of the Language (Spanish) undergraduate course of a college located in Itaperuna, a town in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - how the digital hyper textual reading can facilitate the selection of information in order to facilitate the writing process of texts in Spanish that can be broadcasted in the virtual environment, verifying how this may happen, so that these productions are shared, also allowing the interaction of the subjects with the language and with their peers. For this objective, we used the qualitative methodology (Erickson, 1986) with action research, seeking foundation in what theorists such as Lévy (1996, 1999), Coscarelli (2006, 2009), Gomes et al. (2015), Bannell et al. (2016), among others, investigate. As results, we emphasize that the subjects of the research actively participated in the construction of their own learning regarding the aspects covered in the foreign language class, and with this they were able to practice reading, writing, and the USAge of the vocabulary and grammar studied. Finally, we conclude that the hypertext worked here as an inclusive device, facilitator of reading and propitiator of writing, making the participant students authors of digital texts that provided them with learning throughout all the process they have been through
