Gender in portuguese legislative and education systems: recognition and inclusivity of LGBTQI+ people in schools

This Master thesis argues that the Portuguese state should be the principal regulator and promoter of an improved concept of gender in the legislative and education systems, in order to foster the social inclusion of the LGBTQI+ community, particularly transgender people. To this end, first, it correlates Human Rights and Human Capital concepts that belong to the Human and Social Development frame, in order to bring forward two perspectives in education, one focused on rights and the other on economic development. Since these concepts are used by international organizations with the purpose of improving livelihoods globally, by using Roger Dale’s education governance framework, the aim is to demonstrate that the Portuguese state, as a member of the international community, is not the sole actor in the context of global governance. Rather, the state must also comply with policies and standards issued by the OECD and the European Union, which are integrated into the domestic legislation while regulating and dividing efforts with other coordination institutions. On this basis, the thesis associates feminist development with queer theory to contextualize gender and Nancy Fraser’s politics of recognition in legal and educational institutions, at the same time identifying contradictions in the Portuguese gender legislation and exploring ways of improving the inclusion of trans people in the education system.Esta dissertação de mestrado argumenta que o Estado Português deve ser o principal regulador e promotor de um aperfeiçoado conceito de género nos sistemas legislativo e educativo, de forma a promover a inclusão social da comunidade LGBTQI +, em particular dos transexuais. Com esta finalidade, em primeiro lugar, correlaciona os conceitos de Direitos Humanos e Capital Humano pertencentes ao quadro do Desenvolvimento Humano e Social, a fim de trazer duas perspectivas de educação, uma voltada para os direitos e outra para o desenvolvimento econômico. Uma vez que estes conceitos são utilizados por organizações internacionais com o propósito de melhorar os meios de subsistência a nível global, ao utilizar a estrutura de governação da educação de Roger Dale, pretende-se demonstrar que o Estado Português, enquanto membro da comunidade internacional, não é o único ator neste contexto de governança global. Em vez disso, o estado também deve cumprir as políticas e normas emitidas pela OCDE e pela União Europeia, que são integradas na legislação doméstica, ao mesmo tempo que regula e divide esforços com outras instituições de coordenação. A partir disto, a tese associa o desenvolvimento feminista à teoria queer para contextualizar o género e a política de reconhecimento de Nancy Fraser nas instituições legais e educativas, ao mesmo tempo que identifica contradições na legislação portuguesa relativamente ao conceito género e explora formas de melhorar a inclusão das pessoas trans no sistema de educação

A Kernel Approach for PDE Discovery and Operator Learning

This article presents a three-step framework for learning and solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using kernel methods. Given a training set consisting of pairs of noisy PDE solutions and source/boundary terms on a mesh, kernel smoothing is utilized to denoise the data and approximate derivatives of the solution. This information is then used in a kernel regression model to learn the algebraic form of the PDE. The learned PDE is then used within a kernel based solver to approximate the solution of the PDE with a new source/boundary term, thereby constituting an operator learning framework. Numerical experiments compare the method to state-of-the-art algorithms and demonstrate its competitive performance

Quality Evaluation of the Ready-to-Eat Avocado cv. Hass

Consumer interest in avocado fruit has increased in the last decade in Europe. Nutritional and quality attributes affect the choice of these fruits, whose characteristics must also be maintained in the postharvest period. The preference regarding the feasibility of eating ripe fruits can assure and improve the success of the emerging marketing of avocados. The exposure of fruits to exogenous ethylene (C(2)H(4)) treatment can accelerate the process of fruit ripening. The aim of this work was at improving the existing knowledge about the quality traits of avocado cv. Hass fruits at the ready-to-eat stage. The most important qualitative traits (weight loss, dry matter content, hardness pulp, and external and internal fruit colour) were evaluated up to 96 hours, maintaining the fruit at two different temperatures, T1 (+8°C) and T2 (+17°C). A trained sensory panel was conducted at 96 hours to confirm the quality of avocado cv. Hass ripened with exogenous C(2)H(4)

Tempos de crise e a (in)vulnerabilidade do viver cotidiano em contextos urbanos

A expansão vertiginosa dos cenários urbanos e a crescente diversificação populacional nos espaços públicos produzem desigualdades e vulnerabilidade frente à imprevisibilidade das mudanças sociais, políticas e econômicas que caracterizam esses contextos. Diante da instabilidade, o medo e a insegurança emergem como reações a essa condição, produzindo novos agenciamentos e transformando as formas de sociabilidade nos espaços das cidades

LESIÓN RENAL AGUDA OBSTRUCTIVA CON MANTENIMIENTO DE LA DIURESIS: UN CASO DE BIFIDEZ URETERAL

Percutaneous kidney biopsy in transplanted kidneys remains an essential and commonly performed procedure required for diagnostic and prognostic information. Hemorrhage is the main complication of renal graft biopsy. We report a case of a 47-year-old caucasian woman admitted to perform an ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy of the renal graft. Six hours later, she presented with macroscopic hematuria which improved after urethral catheterization and intravenous hydration. However the hematuria reappeared associated with anemia and worsening of the serum creatinine value. Te US study, revealed hydronephrosis with high Doppler derived renal resistive index compatible with clot obstruction. Despite the vesical lavage nd intravenous hydration. However the hematuria reappeared associated with anemia and worsening of the serum creatinine value. Te US study, revealed hydronephrosis with high Doppler derived renal resistive index compatible with clot obstruction. Despite the vesical lavage with drainage of several clots, the patient rapidly progressed to hemorrhagic shock with worsening of renal function. Pelvic computed tomography (CT) revealed calyx and pelvis duplicity and ureter bifdity which merged into a single ureter and inserted into the right anterolateral wall of the bladder. Te inferior ureter was enlarged due to an obstructive clot. Most acute obstructive uropathies are associated with signifcant pain or the abrupt diminution of urine fow. Te presence of ureter bifdity in the CT study explained the maintenance of signifcant diuresis despite obstruction, located only to the lower ureter but with sufcient functional impact to condition acute kidney injury (AKI).La biopsia renal percutánea en riñones trasplantados sigue siendo un procedimiento esencial y común, necesario para obtener información diagnóstica y pronóstica. La hemorragia es la principal complicación de la biopsia de injerto renal. Presentamos un caso de una mujer caucásica de 47 años, quien fue hospitalizada para la realización de una biopsia de injerto renal guiada por ultrasonido (US). Seis horas después, presentó hematuria macroscópica que mejoró después de la cateterización uretral e hidratación intravenosa. Sin embargo, la hematuria reapareció asociada con anemia y empeoramiento del valor sérico de creatinina. El estudio de US reveló, mediante Doppler, una hidronefrosis con alto índice de resistencia renal, compatible con obstrucción por un coágulo. A pesar del lavado vesical con drenaje de varios coágulos, la paciente progresó rápidamente a choque hemorrágico con empeoramiento de la función renal. La tomografía computarizada (TC) pélvica reveló la duplicidad del cáliz y la pelvis y la bifdez ureteral, que se fusionó en un solo uréter y se insertó en la pared anterolateral derecha de la vejiga. El uréter inferior se agrandó debido a un coágulo obstructivo.La mayoría de las uropatías obstructivas agudas están asociadas con dolor signifcativo o la disminución abrupta del fujo de orina. La presencia de la bifdez del uréter en el estudio de TC explicó el mantenimiento de una diuresis signifcativa a pesar de la obstrucción, localizada solo en el uréter inferior, pero con sufciente impacto funcional como para provocar insufciencia renal aguda (IRA).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
