Education Reform Litigation in Nevada: Is the Nevada Legislature Neglecting Its Constitutional Duties?
Analyzing Stop-and-Go Waves by Experiment and Modeling
The main topic of this paper is the analysis and modeling of stop-and-go
waves, observable in experiments of single lane movement with pedestrians. The
velocity density relation using measurements on a 'microscopic' scale shows the
coexistence of two phases at one density. These data are used to calibrate and
verify a spatially continuous model. Several criteria are chosen that a model
has to satisfy: firstly we investigated the fundamental diagram (velocity
versus density) using different measurement methods. Furthermore the
trajectories are compared to the occurrence of stop-and-go waves qualitatively.
Finally we checked the distribution of the velocities at fixed density against
the experimental one. The adaptive velocity model introduced satisfies these
criteria well.Comment: Fifth International Conference on Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics,

Paisagens da Memória: Um estudo sobre as fotografias de Gastón Salas
Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso apresentado ao Instituto
Latino-Americano de Arte, Cultura e História da
Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana,
como requisito parcial à obtenção do título de Bacharel em
Cinema e Audiovisual.
Orientador: Prof. Dr. Dinaldo Sepúlveda Almendra FilhoEste estudo realiza uma leitura das fotografias que compõem a série La Memoria Del
Paisaje do fotógrafo Gastón Salas, procurando compreender como atuam na manutenção da
memória da ditatura militar do Chile (1973-1990). A série retrata as paisagens chilenas,
lugares que foram assassinados e encontrados os corpos dos presos políticos. Selecionou-se
oito fotografias da série para trabalhar os conceitos de memória, paisagem e mídia, no
sentido de entender a mensagem fotográfica, considerando o contexto de sua produção e o
período histórico que busca relembrar: O processo pós ditatorial com o surgimento da
política do esquecimento e o uso que se faz da cultura das mídias no combate dessa política.
Também foi estabelecida uma relação com a obra fílmica de Patrício Guzmán, por verificar
um forte diálogo entre as duas produções, pois, ambas representam o trauma existente
vinculado às belíssimas paisagens chilenas, relacionando ao mesmo tempo sentimentos
opostos, como o sublime e o terror.The present study conducts the reading of photographs that are part of the serie La Memoria
Del Paisaje by photographer Gastón Salas, seeking to understand how the maintenance of the
memories of Military Dictator ship of Chile acts. The serie portraits Chilean landscape, places
where political prisoners were murdered and the bodies found.
Eight photographies of the serie were selected to work with memory concepts, landscape and
media, in order to understand the photographic message, considering the context of its
production and the historic period it reminds: The post-dictatorial process with the emergence
of the “politic of forgetfulness” and the use made of media culture to fight this politic. It will
also been present the relationship between the filmic work of Patrício Guzmán, where there is
a strong dialogue between those two productions, relating opposite feelings at the same time,
such as the sublime and the horro
Memória e esquecimento de Moisés Bertoni
Anais do XVII Congresso Internacional das Jornadas de Educaão História - teoria, pesquisa e prática - I Encontro da AIPEDH - Associação Iber-Americana de Pesquisadores em Educação História, realizado pela Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana, entre 02, 03 e 04 de agosto de 2017.A memória é hoje, tema de interesse vasto e crescente nas áreas sociais e, longe de ser
estudada como uma mera condição biológica dá lugar a alternativas tornando-se
sinônimo da disciplina de História. A maior parte dos pesquisadores enfatiza que para
uma melhor compreensão dos fenômenos humanos e sociais é importante o estudo de
conceitos como memória e esquecimento. Le Goff (2003) afirmava que os fenômenos
da memória, tanto nos seus aspectos biológicos como nos psicológicos, não são mais do
que os resultados de sistemas dinâmicos de organização e apenas existem “na medida
em que a organização os mantém ou os reconstitui”UNIOEST

"Call a Teenager… That's What I Do!" - Grandchildren Help Older Adults Use New Technologies: Qualitative Study.
BackgroundAlthough family technical support seems intuitive, there is very little research exploring this topic.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to conduct a subanalysis of data collected from a large-scale qualitative project regarding older adults' experiences in using health information technology. Specifically, the subanalysis explored older adults' experiences with technology support from family members to inform strategies for promoting older adults' engagement with new health technologies. Although the primary analysis of the original study was theoretically driven, this paper reports results from an inductive, open-coding analysis.MethodsThis is a subanalysis of a major code identified unexpectedly from a qualitative study investigating older adults' use experience of a widespread health technology, the patient portal. A total of 24 older patients (≥65 years) with multiple chronic conditions (Charlson Comorbidity Index >2) participated in focus groups conducted at the patients' primary clinic. While conducting the primary theoretically driven analysis, coders utilized an open-coding approach to ensure important ideas not reflected in the theoretical code book were captured. Open coding resulted in 1 code: family support. This subanalysis further categorized family support by who provided tech support, how tech support was offered, and the opinions of older participants about receiving family tech support.ResultsThe participants were not specifically asked about family support, yet themes around family assistance and encouragement for technology emerged from every focus group. Participants repeatedly mentioned that they called their grandchildren and adult children if they needed help with technology. Participants also reported that family members experienced difficulty when teaching technology use. Family members struggled to explain simple technology tasks and were frustrated by the slow teaching process.ConclusionsThe results suggest that older adults ask their family members, particularly grandchildren, to support them in the use of new technologies. However, family may experience difficulties in providing this support. Older adults will be increasingly expected to use health technologies, and family members may help with tech support. Providers and health systems should consider potential family support and engagement strategies to foster adoption and use among older patients
Mercado de produtos orgânicos em Palotina/PR – Acompanhamento da comercialização entre junho/12 a maio/13
Trabalho apresentado no 31º SEURS - Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul, realizado em Florianópolis, SC, no período de 04 a 07 de agosto de 2013 - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar quais alimentos orgânicos são disponibilizados para venda para a população e caracterizar quais produtos compõem a cesta verde em Palotina/PR. A metodologia consistiu no acompanhamento semanalmente durante o período de jun/12 a maio/13 na Feira Municipal de Palotina para coleta de dados referente à quantidade de produtos, forma de comercialização e valores praticados. Por cesta verde definiu-se o conjunto de produtos que tiveram a maior procura pelos consumidores, a saber: alface, almeirão, cebolinha, chicória, couve folha e pimenta. O almeirão e a alface apresentaram maior procura dos produtos da cesta, sua venda sendo controlada pela oferta. Nos meses de ago/set/out a quantidade de vendas chegam a ser 265% maior em comparação aos meses de verão, que por sua vez apresentaram a menor oferta. Seguindo as tendências de mercado encontra-se nestes meses de alta oferta o menor preço da sexta verde. Durante o final do inverno e primavera o preço da cesta se manteve nos menores patamares mantendo o preço médio por volta de R 10,88 em abril. A variação em comparação ao primeiro mês analisado chega a ser de 36%. A chicória foi responsável pela maior variação no preço durante o ano. Em relação ao benefício deste projeto aos produtores, tem como objetivo atingir uma melhor produção, auxiliado por técnicas agroecológicas visando alta produtividade
Turismo e degradação na orla do Rio Grande do Sul: conflitos e gerenciamento
Economic, ecological and socio-cultural interests always come into conflict within the Sustainable Coastal Development. In order to ensure the sustainability and vitality of these three functions simultaneously, planning and management actions are necessary to reduce these conflicts. Coastal environment is of great importance for the tourism industry, so it is necessary to assure socio-cultural and ecological conservation as the only way to maintain economic development. The municipality of Xangri-lá, which has its economy focused on tourism, is starting dunes management activities and reorganizing the use and occupation of the beach. This paper aims to detail the current situation of the coast of Xangri-lá and the conflicts as a result of tourism in this area. The problems and conflicts were evaluated through field observations and morphodynamic controls (profile of the beach and vegetation). During this period itwas found that there is an aggravation of erosion on the dune system, caused by storms and a vegetation decrease. As a result, dunes decreased in size and width. Associated to this, the pressure of occupation and the lack of infrastructure related to tourism were the main problems found along the coast. Another problem is the dune system distortion caused by the trampling of native vegetation, exotic vegetation invasion, buildings, condominiums, gardens and kiosks. Furthermore, the users’ neglect about the importance of this environment has been leading to the accumulation of garbage. The immediate measures that should be taken to avoid harm to economic activities due to coast erosion and degradation are foredunes recovery, improving beach access and suitable locations for garbage
