FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA PARA O PROUCA: UMA ANÁLISE DO PROCESSO DE APROPRIAÇÃO DAS TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS NAS NARRATIVAS DE PROFESSORES

In this paper, we discuss part of training actions proposed and experienced by teachers in a municipal school system located in Mato Grosso State awarded by the One Computer For Student Project (PROUCA), an educational public policy formulated by the federal government for three hundred Brazilian schools. The research is characterized as a case study of qualitative nature, associated with narrative method held in conjunction with focal interviews, narrative interviews and participant observation sessions, as well as records on diary. The set of data analysis shows that the actions formulated by the Ministry of Education (MEC) failed to meet learning and teachers needs from the researched school, for these reasons the proposed actions not echoed in the pedagogical practices in classroom as proposed and wished the makers of the teachers training project for PROUCA.Neste texto, discutimos parte das ações formativas propostas e vivenciadas pelos professores de uma escola da rede municipal de ensino situada em Mato Grosso contemplada com o Projeto Um Computador por Aluno (PROUCA), uma política pública educacional formulada pelo governo federal, para trezentas escolas brasileiras. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa, aliada aos pressupostos do método narrativo realizado em conjunto com entrevistas focais, entrevistas narrativas e sessões de observação participante, como também registros em diário de campo. O conjunto de dados em análise aponta que as ações formuladas pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC) não corresponderam às expectativas de aprendizagem nem as necessidades dos professores da escola pesquisada, por estas razões as ações propostas não ecoaram nas práticas pedagógicas da sala de aula como propuseram e desejavam os formuladores do projeto de formação de professores para o PROUCA

Inovações na formação de professores na modalidade a distância

The context of the new course of Pedagogy, under the distance education system approach, illustrates the changes and challenges that have influenced the pedagogical practices of students whom are also teachers at Elementary Schools. It is such transformation process previously considered in the pedagogical project of the course and the intensive use of digital technologies that has guided the assessment done by the student teachers. Their evaluations show their perceptions of the positive impact of the course on both personal and professional aspects, as students and professionals. What we aim to demonstrate is the correlation between presuppositions and practices approached in the syllabus of the course, regarding the pedagogical practices and changes in attitude that have guided the actions and the reflections of the student teachers.O contexto do novo curso de Pedagogia, na modalidade a distância da UFRGS, mostra as mudanças e os desafios propostos às alunas que são ao mesmo tempo professoras em exercício no Ensino Fundamental. São essas transformações, previstas no projeto pedagógico do curso e apoiadas no uso intensivo das tecnologias digitais, que conduziram a avaliação realizada pelas alunas. Nessa avaliação, as alunas-professoras mostram a percepção do impacto positivo do curso nos âmbitos da sua vida pessoal e da sua vida como estudante e profissional. O que mostramos é a correlação dos pressupostos e práticas defendidos no projeto pedagógico do curso com as práticas pedagógicas e as mudanças de postura que pautam a ação e reflexão das professoras em formação

Optimasi Portofolio Resiko Menggunakan Model Markowitz MVO Dikaitkan dengan Keterbatasan Manusia dalam Memprediksi Masa Depan dalam Perspektif Al-Qur`an

Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults

Background Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that measured height and weight in representative samples of the general population. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in the prevalence of different BMI categories, separately for adults (age ≥20 years) and school-aged children and adolescents (age 5–19 years), from 1990 to 2022 for 200 countries and territories. For adults, we report the individual and combined prevalence of underweight (BMI <18·5 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). For schoolaged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI <2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference) and obesity (BMI >2 SD above the median). Findings From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity in adults decreased in 11 countries (6%) for women and 17 (9%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 that the observed changes were true decreases. The combined prevalence increased in 162 countries (81%) for women and 140 countries (70%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. In 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity was highest in island nations in the Caribbean and Polynesia and Micronesia, and countries in the Middle East and north Africa. Obesity prevalence was higher than underweight with posterior probability of at least 0·80 in 177 countries (89%) for women and 145 (73%) for men in 2022, whereas the converse was true in 16 countries (8%) for women, and 39 (20%) for men. From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of thinness and obesity decreased among girls in five countries (3%) and among boys in 15 countries (8%) with a posterior probability of at least 0·80, and increased among girls in 140 countries (70%) and boys in 137 countries (69%) with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. The countries with highest combined prevalence of thinness and obesity in school-aged children and adolescents in 2022 were in Polynesia and Micronesia and the Caribbean for both sexes, and Chile and Qatar for boys. Combined prevalence was also high in some countries in south Asia, such as India and Pakistan, where thinness remained prevalent despite having declined. In 2022, obesity in school-aged children and adolescents was more prevalent than thinness with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 among girls in 133 countries (67%) and boys in 125 countries (63%), whereas the converse was true in 35 countries (18%) and 42 countries (21%), respectively. In almost all countries for both adults and school-aged children and adolescents, the increases in double burden were driven by increases in obesity, and decreases in double burden by declining underweight or thinness. Interpretation The combined burden of underweight and obesity has increased in most countries, driven by an increase in obesity, while underweight and thinness remain prevalent in south Asia and parts of Africa. A healthy nutrition transition that enhances access to nutritious foods is needed to address the remaining burden of underweight while curbing and reversing the increase in obesit

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass
