Multicultural Interdisciplinary Handbook: tools for learning history and geography in a multicultural perspective (MIH)
[ES] MIH project (Multicultural Interdisciplinary Handbook: tools for learning History and Geography in a multicultural perspective) is a Comenius Multilateral Project funded with support from the European Commission that has been
developed from 2009 to 2011.Conceived from the idea of educating lower and upper Secondary School pupils in a process of construction of a European identity by involving them in the culture of other countries, MIH project meets this need by providing new methodological and ICT tools that could help teachers and pupils to plunge deeper into both cultures and languages of another nations via their History and Geography, and opens the way to introduce a European perspective in History and Geography school curricula and classroom activities
Workers’ Active Involvement in the Improvement of Occupational Safety and Health in a Textile Enterprise—A Case Study
Part of the Polish-Swedish OSHMAN project was carried out in a textile company. It aimed at implementing and improving effective health and safety management with workers’ active involvement at all levels of the enterprise. The two main problems to be solved during the project were decreasing occupational risk and improving workers’ poor knowledge on occupational risk. Training courses, workshops and practical activities were undertaken. As expected, there were changes in work organisation and improvement in the way workstations were looked after, which led to a decrease in occupational risk. Workers were highly committed during the project. Nevertheless it seems that more training should be directed at middle management

Comparação de métodos de determinação da condutividade hidráulica em um latossolo vermelho-amarelo
A determinação da condutividade hidráulica como variável do conteúdo de água volumétrico, K(θ), é essencial para resolver, por exemplo, problemas de drenagem. Todavia, diferentes métodos de determinação podem produzir resultados distintos, dependendo dos pressupostos assumidos. Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar o desempenho de métodos diretos no campo (perfil instantâneo, métodos do fluxo e da umidade) e indireto no laboratório (a partir da condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado e da curva de retenção) na estimativa da relação K(θ). O experimento foi realizado em Piracicaba, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, em um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo textura argiloarenosa, entre os meses de junho e agosto de 1999, por serem de baixa precipitação pluvial média mensal. A função K(θ) fornecida pelos diferentes métodos foi comparada utilizando-se o erro máximo absoluto e o índice da concordância. Todos os métodos apresentaram limitações na determinação da função K(θ) na tensão próxima à de saturação, sendo os maiores erros identificados nessa faixa de umidade. Os métodos do fluxo, da umidade e indireto no laboratório tiveram concordância de moderada a fraca quando comparados ao método do perfil instantâneo, mostrando que no solo Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo textura argiloarenosa assumir que o gradiente é unitário resultou em estimativas errôneas dos valores de K(θ), causadas pela falta de homogeneidade no perfil do solo
