From Bishop to President: historical and mediatic constructions of the Paraguayan president Fernando Lugo in brazilian weekly magazines

This article’s purpose is to understand the historical and mediatic constructions made bay brazilian magazines about Bishop Fernando Lugo, in its path from priesthood to president of Paraguay in 2008, and the repercussions of those in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The research identified, analyzed and questioned the communication processes promoted by the brazilian ma- gazines Carta Capital, Época, Isto É and Veja, from 2007 to 2010, questioning and problematizing the construction of the symbolic representation of the new politi- cal actor, Paraguayan president Fernando Lugo

O raciocínio lógico entendido como disciplina no Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso apresentado ao Instituto Latino-Americano de Ciências da Vida e da Natureza da Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana, como requisito parcial à obtenção do título de Especialista em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática para Séries Finais – Ensino fundamental – 6o ao 9o. Orientador: Me. Flávio de Matos Rocha.A Lógica é uma ciência que promove o desenvolvimento do raciocínio, contribuindo para o aprendizado, independente da disciplina que se pretende ensinar. Através de experiências do aprendizado do raciocínio lógico percebe-se o potencial que ele possui se ensinado para os alunos como uma disciplina, já que, para a teoria das inteligências múltiplas, todos os indivíduos possuem diversos tipos de inteligência, em diversos níveis distintos, sendo que toda inteligência pode ser aguçada e trabalhada para que demonstre-se com maior nível. Sendo assim muito melhor seria se tal inteligência contasse com um momento único e favorável para o seu desenvolvimento. Tratado como disciplina, o raciocínio lógico mostra-se como uma ferramenta extremamente importante para o desenvolvimento do aprendizado, que por meio dele parece mais significativo, já que o raciocínio lógico fundamenta com eficiência a construção do raciocínio correto, sendo ele utilizado na resolução de problemas. Por isso, em função dos muitos benefícios proporcionados pela Lógica, ela tem sido utilizada sempre que possível por professores no processo de ensino-aprendizagem nas mais variadas disciplinas, uma vez que os resultados obtidos são extremamente consideráveis. Percebendo essa situação o Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul introduziu em sua grade curricular a disciplina de Raciocínio Lógico, tornando-a uma disciplina que conta com uma hora aula semanal, o qual foi inserido no ensino fundamental das séries finais e ensino médio, trazendo assim conhecimentos específicos da lógica para o ambiente de ensino e aprendizagem, proporcionando aos estudantes mais uma ferramenta útil para o desenvolvimento do seu conhecimento científico e diário.Logic is a science which promotes the development from reasoning, contributing for learning independent from the subject that it wants to teach. By the experiences of learning from logic reasoning it could realise the potential that it has its taught to the studentes like a subject, being that for the multiples intelligences theory, all the individuals have lots of types of intelligences in many differents leves, even that all the intelligence could be promote and worked for shows with a high level. In spite, it will be much better if that intelligence could be supported like an specific moment and favorable to its development. Consider as a subject, the logic reasoning shows it like a tool extremely important for learning development, which seems more significant, since that logic reasoning grounded with efficiency the making from reasoning in a correct way, being used like solving problems. That’s why, in reason of so many benefits given by the logic it has been used always that’s possible by the teachers learning-teaching in the most differents subjects, once that the results gotten are extremely regarded. Realising this situation Mato Grosso do Sul’s state introduced in his curricular grid the logic reasoning subject becoming it a subject which has a weekly class with an hour each, being necessary introduce it at the last classes from elementary school and middle school, bringing this specifics knowledges from logic to teaching and learning environment, providing to the students one more useful tool to development theirs scientific and daily knowledge

Influence of a plasma jet on the hydrodynamics of a helium jet

In this paper, we present a study of the influence of non-equilibrium microplasma jets (“plasma bullets”) on the hydrodynamics of a helium jet operating in open air. The helium jet is produced by a flow of helium through a hollow, cylindrical microdischarge configuration. A plasma jet, triggered by the microdischarge, can propogate in the laminar zone of the helium jet which extends some distance from the exit plane of the microdischarge. We used Schlieren photography to visualize the point of transition from laminar to turbulent regime of the helium jet and the change in the transition point due to the plasma jet for different operating conditions

Dual effects of leptin in perioperative gas exchange of morbidly obese patients

Leptin has shown positive effects on respiratory function in experimental settings. The role of leptin on perioperative respiratory function in morbidly obese patients has not been established. We performed a retrospective analysis of morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Fasting serum leptin and interleukin (IL)-6 were measured preoperatively, and arterial blood gases were obtained pre- and postoperatively. Outcome variables were arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and differences in PaO2 and PaCO2 between pre- and postoperative values (\u394PaO2, \u394PaCO2; postoperative minus preoperative). Patients with lower (<40 \u3bcg/L) and higher ( 6540 \u3bcg/L) leptin levels were compared. Bravais-Pearson's correlation, multiple linear regression, and logistic regression analysis were performed. A total of 112 morbidly obese patients were included. Serum leptin was significantly higher in females than in males (42.86\ub112.89 vs. 30.67\ub113.39 \u3bcg/L, p<0.0001). Leptin was positively correlated with body mass index (r = 0.238; p = 0.011), IL-6 (r = 0.473; p<0.0001), and \u394PaO2 (r = 0.312; p = 0.0008). Leptin was negatively correlated with preoperative PaO2 (r = -0.199; p = 0.035). Preoperative PaO2 was lower, \u394PaCO2 was smaller, and \u394PaO2 was greater in the high leptin group than in the low leptin group. In multiple regression analysis, leptin was negatively associated with preoperative PaO2 (estimate coefficient = -0.147; p = 0.023). In logistic regression analysis, leptin was associated with improved \u394PaO2 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.104; p = 0.0138) and \u394PaCO2 (OR = 0.968; p = 0.0334). Leptin appears to have dual effects related to perioperative gas exchange in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. It is associated with worse preoperative oxygenation but improved respiratory function after surgery

Influence d’un Plasma Initié par Micro-décharge sur un Jet d’Hélium dans l'Air

Les micro-jets de plasma ont attiré l'attention de nombreux chercheurs car ils permettraient d’acheminer des espèces réactives à un endroit désiré. Les micro-jets de plasma («plasma jet», «plasma bullets»…) sont des plasmas hors-équilibre à pression atmosphérique et à température ambiante, générés dans un flux de gaz porteur (généralement de l'hélium) par l’application d’une tension rf ou impulsionnelle. A l’œil nu le micro-jet est continu, mais à chaque pulse un plasma est créé engendrant un front d’ionisation se propageant à ≈105ms-1. Parmi les dispositifs utilisés pour créer les micro-jets, nous nous focaliserons sur une configuration avec une électrode interne creuse d’un diamètre de quelques millimètres, entourée d’un tube diélectrique et traversée par un flux d’hélium (≈10ms-1) qui débouche dans l’air ambiant. On applique sur l’électrode interne une tension impulsionnelle de quelques kV avec un temps de montée de 200 ns et une fréquence de répétition de quelques dizaines de kHz. On crée alors un plasma à l’intérieur du diélectrique, qui se propage dans l’air environnant, guidé par le canal d’hélium (car l’hélium est plus facilement ionisable que l’air surtout à faible champ réduit). Un des facteurs limitant la distance de propagation du plasma est la diminution progressive de la concentration en hélium du canal du fait de la diffusion de l’air ambiant dans celui-ci. Nous avons utilisé la strioscopie, qui est une méthode non intrusive, pour visualiser l’écoulement de l’hélium dans l’air. Cette méthode ne donne essentiellement que des informations qualitatives et ne permet pas d’accéder au champ de concentration. Nous avons donc mesuré la longueur de la partie laminaire du canal d'hélium. Nous avons d'abord fait des mesures sans plasma, en faisant varier le débit et la géométrie de la micro-décharge. Puis nous avons allumé le plasma pour regarder son influence sur le canal d’hélium en fonction de la tension et de la fréquence de répétition des pulses. Nos résultats montrent que, dans le cas sans plasma, la géométrie exacte de la micro-décharge a une influence sur l’hydrodynamique. Lorsqu’on allume le plasma la partie laminaire est raccourcie dans les conditions que nous avons étudiées. L'influence du plasma sur la longueur de la partie laminaire est d’autant plus importante que le débit est faible et que la tension appliquée pour générer le plasma est grande. Dans les études sur le contrôle des écoulements par plasma (utilisant une décharge à barrière diélectrique pour générer une décharge sur une surface dans l'air), on sait que le vent ionique généré par la décharge donne au gaz une vitesse parallèle à la surface qui peut favoriser la transition vers la turbulence. Le vent ionique généré par le plasma dans la micro-décharge et dans le jet de plasma lui-même pourrait avoir des conséquences similaires sur la transition du jet de l'hélium. Des études sont en cours pour quantifier cet effet dans nos conditions

Evidence of the influence of plasma jets on a helium flow into open air

Microplasma jets propagating in a helium flow surrounded by open air at ambient temperature have attracted the attention of many researchers for their putative ability to deliver high fluxes of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to a target situated some centimeters away. This is of particular interest in biomedical applications. In this paper, we use Schlieren images to show that ignition of the plasma jet causes a reduction in the length of the laminar zone of the helium flow

Developing meaningful learning in instrumental lessons: a study on the role of teaching and learning cues

Meaningful learning is a process in which new information is related to previously learned ideas. This process is a fundamental pillar in education and it is based on the negotiation of common meanings between teachers and students. Although its importance has been recognized in different fields, in instrumental teaching meaningful learning is still not widely explored. Literature in this field suggests that teachers spend great part of time talking, employing a linear discourse, while students assume a passive attitude in the lessons. Despite some authors started to claim a change in this paradigm, there is still room to understand how meaningful learning might be promoted in instrumental lessons. The purpose of this study was to understand the role of teaching and learning cues, i.e., summarized information used to decrease the overload of information, in one-to-one instrumental lessons. In order to achieve this aim, two cases studies embedded in an action- research project were conducted. The participants were the author, who taught violin through a social project and two students; i.e., one boy and one girl, aged respectively 4 and 7 years old. They were violin beginners who had the first contact with the instrument in this project. A total of 9 one-to-one violin lessons per case study were led and video recorded. An interview was conducted with each participant and their parents before the first lesson to map the students profile. Selected parts of the lessons where teaching and learning cues were used were transcribed and analysed, The preliminary results shows that teaching and learning cues have been acting to enhance: (i) individual constructions: students’ self- constructions of concepts and meanings. This was observed through a spontaneous creation of their own vocabulary or throughout teacher’ support by questioning in order to understand how the student realize a concept; and (ii) shared constructions: teacher and student shared and negotiated construction of meanings and vocabularies. Such aspects were observed through of how the student realizes the content. Although this study is limited to number of students and lessons, it is possible to recognize that the conscious use of teaching cues and specially learning cues, can foster a student- centered approach, supporting the development of meaningful learning during the lesson.publishe

Desvendando o “jardim secreto”: A comunicação entre professor e aluno no ensino individual do instrumento

The purpose of this article is to present a discussion on the existing paradigm of instructional communication in one-to-one instrumental lessons. Some authors described individual lessons as something like a ‘secret garden’ compared with the scrutiny given to classroom behavior in schools. In such lessons, to communicate and express ideas about musical meaning has been established as one of six instrumental/vocal teacher roles. However, the overall studies reported that one-to-one instrumental teaching has mostly followed a model characterized by one-way communication from teacher to student. In addition, the literature outlined that instrumental teachers used a specific pedagogical vocabulary to explain and demonstrate a skill. Some strategies for communicating this vocabulary effectively were highlighted and discussed in this article. Regardless of the insights here discussed, the literature review presented indicated few studies focused on instructional communication in one-to-one instrumental lessons. Although this field of research is increasing, some authors claim that the research in instrumental teaching is not following up the current demand for this practice.O presente artigo discute o estado da arte referente à comunicação de instruções no ensino individual do instrumento. Alguns autores descreveram a aula individual como um “jardim secreto”, em comparação com o escrutínio científico dado às aulas de música em grupo. A partir da investigação já feita sobre esta temática foi possível verificar que a comunicação de ideias relacionadas a um significado musical tem sido estabelecida como um dos seis papéis do professor de instrumento/canto. No entanto, a grande parte dos estudos reportam que o ensino instrumental tem seguido, na sua maioria, um modelo caracterizado pela comunicação unidirecional do professor para o aluno. Além disso, a literatura existente tem apontado que os professores de instrumento usam um vocabulário pedagógico específico para explicar e demonstrar uma competência. Algumas estratégias para comunicar este vocabulário de forma efetiva foram destacadas e discutidas neste artigo. Com base na literatura levantada foi possível verificar uma lacuna de estudos focados na comunicação de instruções em aulas individuais de instrumento. Alguns autores sugerem que, embora esta área de investigação esteja aumentando, a investigação no ensino instrumental não está acompanhando a demanda atual da prática.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
