Cinema: an humanist and pedagogical tool for themes in Health-Education. The experience of CineSocial

Study design: The approach to the research was qualitative. Objective: we used the audiovisual resources (movies) to make teachers, students and health professionals reflect, discuss and updatesocial subjects relevant to health and education. Methodology: The Project was structured as a coursewith five meetings that took place between 2008 August and December. Subjects relevant to PublicHealth and Education were focused (hunger, school violence, teenage pregnancy, health-disease process and teenage drug abuse); for each theme, specialists were invited. The instrument used to acquirethe participant perceptions was a questionnaire with 14 semi-structured questions and at the end ofeach meeting, a report was requested. A Thematic analysis of narrative was conducted with the materialfrom the individual reflection report. Results: The meeting had the presence of 49 participants (undergraduates, public teachers, health professionals, graduates and professors). In the analysis of thenarrative open question material from the individual reflection report, we could identify two sets of categories: the first one identified was the participants' expectancy before beginning the CineSocial project andthe second one identified was the participants' opinions about the course relevance. Discussion andConclusions: The cinema use enabled knowledge flow and experience diffusion; it also corroborated theidea that not only documentaries and fiction films could express the knowledge aimed by Science, butother types of cinema as well. Focusing on cinema was not the priority of this experience, the priority wasfocus on life, society, school, exclusion, current subjects present inside or outside of the school.Modelo do estudo: Abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa Objetivo: foi utilizado recurso audiovisual (filmes)para propiciar reflexões, discussões e atualização de professores, alunos e profissionais da saúde emtemas sociais pertinentes às áreas da saúde e educação. Metodologia: o projeto foi estruturado em formade curso de difusão com cinco encontros, entre agosto e dezembro de 2008. Foram abordados temasrelevantes em Saúde e Educação (fome, violência escolar, gravidez na adolescência, processo saúdedoença e drogas na adolescência) e foram convidados especialistas em cada temática para debate. Oinstrumento utilizado para captar as percepções dos participantes foi um questionário de 14 questõessemi-estruturadas e ao final de cada encontro foi solicitada a entrega de relatório. Foi realizada AnáliseTemática de Narrativa de material proveniente dos relatórios individuais de reflexão. Resultados: osencontros tiveram a presença de 49 participantes (estudantes de graduação, professores da rede municipal de ensino, profissionais da área da saúde, pós-graduandos e docentes do ensino superior). Naanálise do material narrativo advindo das questões abertas dos relatórios individuais de reflexão foipossível levantar dois blocos de categorias, sendo que o primeiro deles destacou as expectativas que osparticipantes tinham antes de iniciar o projeto CineSocial e o segundo bloco levantou a opinião dosparticipantes sobre a relevância do curso. Discussão e Conclusões: o uso do cinema possibilitou acirculação dos conhecimentos, tornou possível a difusão de experiências, corroborou a ideia de quedocumentários assim como filmes de ficção podem exprimir os conhecimentos orientados pela Ciência.Pensar a arte do cinema não foi a prioridade dessa experiência, a prioridade foi pensar a vida, a sociedade, a escola, a saúde, a exclusão social e temas do cotidiano presentes dentro ou fora das escolas

Search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos in events with three leptons and missing transverse momentum in √s = 7 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions that are either depleted or enriched in Z-boson decays. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in R-parity conserving phenomenological minimal supersymmetric models and in simplified models, significantly extending previous results

Jet size dependence of single jet suppression in lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s(NN)) = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Measurements of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide direct sensitivity to the physics of jet quenching. In a sample of lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 7 inverse microbarns, ATLAS has measured jets with a calorimeter over the pseudorapidity interval |eta| < 2.1 and over the transverse momentum range 38 < pT < 210 GeV. Jets were reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm with values for the distance parameter that determines the nominal jet radius of R = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The centrality dependence of the jet yield is characterized by the jet "central-to-peripheral ratio," Rcp. Jet production is found to be suppressed by approximately a factor of two in the 10% most central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. Rcp varies smoothly with centrality as characterized by the number of participating nucleons. The observed suppression is only weakly dependent on jet radius and transverse momentum. These results provide the first direct measurement of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions and complement previous measurements of dijet transverse energy imbalance at the LHC.Comment: 15 pages plus author list (30 pages total), 8 figures, 2 tables, submitted to Physics Letters B.
