    O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o Curso de Graduação em Pedagogia - Licenciatura na Modalidade a Distância (PEAD), resgatando na sua primeira parte as motivações iniciais e o projeto, destacando a proposta pedagógica, seus princípios e componentes. A segunda parte do artigo focaliza os papéis desempenhados pelos formadores e tutores, as etapas e os desafios que envolveram a dinâmica da realização do PEAD. Na terceira parte, trazemos algumas considerações sobre os resultados do curso, destacando os seus impactos e as avaliações realizadas pelas professoras-alunas. Essas avaliações enfatizam às características do curso que favoreceram as aprendizagens, bem como as principais contribuições do PEAD para as mudanças percebidas pelas professorasalunas na vida profissional, pessoal e de estudante.This article presents an undergraduate course to train teachers for initials grades of elementary school (PEAD), a distance education project. The first part, presents the initial motivations and course design, highlighting the pedagogical proposal, its principles and components. The second part of the article focuses on the roles of teacher and tutors, the steps and challenges surrounding the implementation of the course. In the third part, we present some considerations about the results of the course, highlighting their impacts and assessments by students. These assessments emphasize the characteristics of the course that positively influenced the learning, as well as its the main contributions for the changes perceived by students with regard to aspects of personal, professional and academic life

    How is agroforestry perceived in Europe? An assessment of positive and negative aspects by stakeholders

    Whilst the benefits of agroforestry are widely recognised in tropical latitudes few studies have assessed how agroforestry is perceived in temperate latitudes. This study evaluates how stakeholders and key actors including farmers, landowners, agricultural advisors, researchers and environmentalists perceive the implementation and expansion of agroforestry in Europe. Meetings were held with 30 stakeholder groups covering different agroforestry systems in 2014 in eleven EU countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom). In total 344 valid responses were received to a questionnaire where stakeholders were asked to rank the positive and negative aspects of implementing agroforestry in their region. Improved biodiversity and wildlife habitats, animal health and welfare, and landscape aesthetics were seen as the main positive aspects of agroforestry. By contrast, increased labour, complexity of work, management costs and administrative burden were seen as the most important negative aspects. Overall, improving the environmental value of agriculture was seen as the main benefit of agroforestry, whilst management and socio-economic issues were seen as the greatest barriers. The great variability in the opportunities and barriers of the systems suggests enhanced adoption of agroforestry across Europe will be most likely to occur with specific initiatives for each type of system

    The PHENIX experiment has measured ϕ\phi meson production in dd++Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV using the dimuon and dielectron decay channels. The ϕ\phi meson is measured in the forward (backward) dd-going (Au-going) direction, 1.2<y<2.21.2<y<2.2 (2.2<y<1.2-2.2<y<-1.2) in the transverse-momentum (pTp_T) range from 1--7 GeV/cc, and at midrapidity y<0.35|y|<0.35 in the pTp_T range below 7 GeV/cc. The ϕ\phi meson invariant yields and nuclear-modification factors as a function of pTp_T, rapidity, and centrality are reported. An enhancement of ϕ\phi meson production is observed in the Au-going direction, while suppression is seen in the dd-going direction, and no modification is observed at midrapidity relative to the yield in pp++pp collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. Similar behavior was previously observed for inclusive charged hadrons and open heavy flavor indicating similar cold-nuclear-matter effects.Comment: 484 authors, 16 pages, 12 figures, 6 tables. v1 is the version accepted for publication in Phys.

    Systematic study of charged-pion and kaon femtoscopy in Au++Au collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV

    We present a systematic study of charged pion and kaon interferometry in Au++Au collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV. The kaon mean source radii are found to be larger than pion radii in the outward and longitudinal directions for the same transverse mass; this difference increases for more central collisions. The azimuthal-angle dependence of the radii was measured with respect to the second-order event plane and similar oscillations of the source radii were found for pions and kaons. Hydrodynamic models qualitatively describe the similar oscillations of the mean source radii for pions and kaons, but they do not fully describe the transverse-mass dependence of the oscillations.Comment: 499 authors, 27 pages, 13 figures, and 11 tables. v2 is the version accepted for publication in Phys.

    Measurements of elliptic and triangular flow in high-multiplicity 3^{3}He++Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV

    Full text link
    We present the first measurement of elliptic (v2v_2) and triangular (v3v_3) flow in high-multiplicity 3^{3}He++Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in 3^{3}He++Au and in pp++pp collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the 3^{3}He++Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v2v_2 and triangular v3v_3 anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v2v_2 values are comparable to those previously measured in dd++Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparison with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three 3^{3}He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.Comment: 630 authors, 9 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables. v2 is the version accepted for publication by Physical Review Letters.
