Princípios de organização curricular dos departamentos: o caso da disciplina de classes de conjunto nas escolas públicas do ensino artístico especializado da música

Resumo: O trabalho de investigação apresentado debruça-se sobre os departamentos curriculares onde se encontra inserida a disciplina de Classes de Conjunto.        O nosso problema de partida insere-se no domínio da organização dos departamentos. O objetivo central é proporcionar uma visão global da organização dos departamentos onde se encontra inserida a disciplina de Classes de Conjunto e a perceção dos docentes sobre o trabalho aí desenvolvido. Este trabalho encontra-se dividido em duas partes. A primeira parte inclui uma revisão teórica sobre as Escolas Públicas do Ensino Artístico Especializado da Música, a disciplina de Classes de Conjunto e a organização dos departamentos curriculares, englobando alguns dos princípios orientadores, a satisfação e liderança nos mesmos. A segunda parte apresenta um estudo empírico onde se pretende dar a conhecer como estão organizados os departamentos curriculares onde está inserida a disciplina de Classes de Conjunto e a perceção dos docentes sobre o seu funcionamento. A recolha de dados utilizada neste estudo desenvolveu-se a partir da resposta a inquéritos por questionário divulgados a docentes de dez escolas públicas do ensino artístico especializado da música. Por último, apresentamos, analisamos e refletimos sobre os dados obtidos. Este estudo empírico deu-nos a conhecer a visão global dos docentes sobre o tema. Apesar de assumirmos algumas dificuldades é-nos lícito pensar que o caminho para uma melhor organização dos departamentos e da disciplina de Classes de Conjunto possa ser acelerado para que a sua missão do grupo e disciplina possa ser mais eficaz

A igreja somos todos

O Serviço Pastoral à Pessoa com Deficiência apresenta este trabalho para dar a conhecer os dados do inquérito que lançou no ano de 2022, fazendo uma pequena análise dessa recolha, e para deixar algumas sugestões sobre as atenções a dar às pessoas com diferentes deficiências que havemos de acolher nas nossas comunidades cristãs. É um pequeno serviço que deixamos, a exemplo do que foi feito noutras dioceses, nomeadamente na Arquidiocese de Madrid e na Diocese de Lisboa, e que pretende ser simples, objetivo e muito útil no encontro com pessoas com deficiência. Não podemos fugir de nos encontrarmos com elas. O desconhecimento, a desvalorização pode levar-nos a atitudes de comiseração ou de receio que não são boas conselheiras quando se quer uma relação de amizade e de fé. Portanto, mais que fugir, há que aproximar, fazer pontes, construir compromissos, os mesmos que constituem as comunidades cristãs e que são essenciais para a identidade da Igreja e para o seu crescimento. Muitos passos se têm dado pela inclusão escolar, social e laboral das pessoas com deficiência, mas ainda há muito, muitíssimo, para fazer. Assim o ouvimos quando contactamos com deficiência e as associações que diariamente trabalham com elas, pois embora os relatos destas últimas sejam menores, são similares aos relatos das pessoas com deficiência. Nas paróquias e outras estruturas pastorais da Igreja talvez não seja muito diferente. Certamente que a sensibilidade cristã nos torna mais dóceis. Mas, muitas vezes não sabemos o que fazer, o que aconselhar, como estimular a autonomia e o desenvolvimento. Mas, mais grave do que isso é dizer e pensar que haja paróquias sem deficiências. Isso é porque nós ainda não as descobrimos e, talvez, esteja na hora de ir ao seu encontro.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Reuma.pt/vasculitis - the Portuguese vasculitis registry

BACKGROUND: The vasculitides are a group of rare diseases with different manifestations and outcomes. New therapeutic options have led to the need for long-term registries. The Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register, Reuma.pt, is a web-based electronic clinical record, created in 2008, which currently includes specific modules for 12 diseases and > 20,000 patients registered from 79 rheumatology centres. On October 2014, a dedicated module for vasculitis was created as part of the European Vasculitis Society collaborative network, enabling prospective collection and central storage of encrypted data from patients with this condition. All Portuguese rheumatology centres were invited to participate. Data regarding demographics, diagnosis, classification criteria, assessment tools, and treatment were collected. We aim to describe the structure of Reuma.pt/vasculitis and characterize the patients registered since its development. RESULTS: A total of 687 patients, with 1945 visits, from 13 centres were registered; mean age was 53.4 ± 19.3 years at last visit and 68.7% were females. The most common diagnoses were Behçet's disease (BD) (42.5%) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) (17.8%). Patients with BD met the International Study Group criteria and the International Criteria for BD in 85.3 and 97.2% of cases, respectively. Within the most common small- and medium-vessel vasculitides registered, median [interquartile range] Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) at first visit was highest in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) (17.0 [12.0]); there were no differences in the proportion of patients with AAV or polyarteritis nodosa who relapsed (BVAS≥1) or had a major relapse (≥1 major BVAS item) during prospective assessment (p = 1.00, p = 0.479). Biologic treatment was prescribed in 0.8% of patients with GCA, 26.7% of patients with AAV, and 7.6% of patients with BD. There were 34 (4.9%) deaths reported. CONCLUSIONS: Reuma.pt/vasculitis is a bespoke web-based registry adapted for routine care of patients with this form of rare and complex diseases, allowing an efficient data-repository at a national level with the potential to link with other international databases. It facilitates research, trials recruitment, service planning and benchmarking.publishersversionpublishe

Single hadron response measurement and calorimeter jet energy scale uncertainty with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

The uncertainty on the calorimeter energy response to jets of particles is derived for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). First, the calorimeter response to single isolated charged hadrons is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo simulation using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of sqrt(s) = 900 GeV and 7 TeV collected during 2009 and 2010. Then, using the decay of K_s and Lambda particles, the calorimeter response to specific types of particles (positively and negatively charged pions, protons, and anti-protons) is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo predictions. Finally, the jet energy scale uncertainty is determined by propagating the response uncertainty for single charged and neutral particles to jets. The response uncertainty is 2-5% for central isolated hadrons and 1-3% for the final calorimeter jet energy scale.Comment: 24 pages plus author list (36 pages total), 23 figures, 1 table, submitted to European Physical Journal

Measurement of χ c1 and χ c2 production with s√ = 7 TeV pp collisions at ATLAS

The prompt and non-prompt production cross-sections for the χ c1 and χ c2 charmonium states are measured in pp collisions at s√ = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using 4.5 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The χ c states are reconstructed through the radiative decay χ c → J/ψγ (with J/ψ → μ + μ −) where photons are reconstructed from γ → e + e − conversions. The production rate of the χ c2 state relative to the χ c1 state is measured for prompt and non-prompt χ c as a function of J/ψ transverse momentum. The prompt χ c cross-sections are combined with existing measurements of prompt J/ψ production to derive the fraction of prompt J/ψ produced in feed-down from χ c decays. The fractions of χ c1 and χ c2 produced in b-hadron decays are also measured

Hunt for new phenomena using large jet multiplicities and missing transverse momentum with ATLAS in 4.7 fb−1 of s√=7TeV proton-proton collisions

Results are presented of a search for new particles decaying to large numbers of jets in association with missing transverse momentum, using 4.7 fb−1 of pp collision data at s√=7TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2011. The event selection requires missing transverse momentum, no isolated electrons or muons, and from ≥6 to ≥9 jets. No evidence is found for physics beyond the Standard Model. The results are interpreted in the context of a MSUGRA/CMSSM supersymmetric model, where, for large universal scalar mass m 0, gluino masses smaller than 840 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level, extending previously published limits. Within a simplified model containing only a gluino octet and a neutralino, gluino masses smaller than 870 GeV are similarly excluded for neutralino masses below 100 GeV

Measurement of the production of a W boson in association with a charm quark in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The production of a W boson in association with a single charm quark is studied using 4.6 fb−1 of pp collision data at s√ = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. In events in which a W boson decays to an electron or muon, the charm quark is tagged either by its semileptonic decay to a muon or by the presence of a charmed meson. The integrated and differential cross sections as a function of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay are measured. Results are compared to the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD calculations obtained from various parton distribution function parameterisations. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea-quark distributions is determined to be 0.96+0.26−0.30 at Q 2 = 1.9 GeV2, which supports the hypothesis of an SU(3)-symmetric composition of the light-quark sea. Additionally, the cross-section ratio σ(W + +c¯¯)/σ(W − + c) is compared to the predictions obtained using parton distribution function parameterisations with different assumptions about the s−s¯¯¯ quark asymmetry

Search for dark matter in events with heavy quarks and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

This article reports on a search for dark matterpair production in association with bottom or top quarks in20.3fb−1ofppcollisions collected at√s=8TeVbytheATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with large missing trans-verse momentum are selected when produced in associationwith high-momentum jets of which one or more are identifiedas jets containingb-quarks. Final states with top quarks areselected by requiring a high jet multiplicity and in some casesa single lepton. The data are found to be consistent with theStandard Model expectations and limits are set on the massscale of effective field theories that describe scalar and tensorinteractions between dark matter and Standard Model par-ticles. Limits on the dark-matter–nucleon cross-section forspin-independent and spin-dependent interactions are alsoprovided. These limits are particularly strong for low-massdark matter. Using a simplified model, constraints are set onthe mass of dark matter and of a coloured mediator suitableto explain a possible signal of annihilating dark matter

Measurement of the flavour composition of dijet events in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper describes a measurement of the flavour composition of dijet events produced in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The measurement uses the full 2010 data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 39 pb−1. Six possible combinations of light, charm and bottom jets are identified in the dijet events, where the jet flavour is defined by the presence of bottom, charm or solely light flavour hadrons in the jet. Kinematic variables, based on the properties of displaced decay vertices and optimised for jet flavour identification, are used in a multidimensional template fit to measure the fractions of these dijet flavour states as functions of the leading jet transverse momentum in the range 40 GeV to 500 GeV and jet rapidity |y|<2.1. The fit results agree with the predictions of leading- and next-to-leading-order calculations, with the exception of the dijet fraction composed of bottom and light flavour jets, which is underestimated by all models at large transverse jet momenta. The ability to identify jets containing two b-hadrons, originating from e.g. gluon splitting, is demonstrated. The difference between bottom jet production rates in leading and subleading jets is consistent with the next-to-leading-order predictions
