Three Decades of Communities of Practice Conceptualization: Revisiting the foundations of Lave and Wenger's constructs and their impact on contemporary learning theory
No full textThis article aims to identify the key authors and the theoretical foundations’ delineation of Lave and Wenger’s concept of Communities of Practice (CoPs) and its relationship with the learning theory. This exploratory and descriptive study applied a qualitative approach and bibliographic research based on Lave and Wenger’s (1991) publication “Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation”. All 48 references indicated in their research and the perceived relevance the authors have in academia. Data analysis was conducted using bibliometric and content analysis techniques with the aid of the NVivo software. The results showed the relevance of the key authors to the academy based on their number of publications, citation analysis, h-index, fields of study and contributions to those fields. We also identified that the concept of Communities of Practice is interdisciplinarity amongst anthropology, sociology, and psychology
Connections between Governance and Business Process Management – BPM: A systematic mapping of scientific production between 2011 and 2021
No full textWe researched governance from the perspective of Business Process Management – BPM. From the understanding of process management as a practice that aims to register organizational knowledge, BPM can be seen as a valuable tool for governance. The BPM uses methodologies of analysis and redesign of processes to represent and translate organizational objectives and strategies to add value to clients. This article presents a systematic mapping of scientific papers published between 2011 and 2021 through the data collected in Scopus and Web of Science databases. The co-occurrence of keywords allowed identifying research subareas such as the public sector, technology, and strategic management. The analysis of the evolution of the publications revealed that the theme is still growing; however, we did not find many articles contemplating the connection between the two constructs simultaneously. We concluded that despite the results found, the concepts of both constructs consider common elements as value generation, demonstrating that there is room for new approaches to analyze the evolution of the theme and possibilities of further research

Like the previous one-dimensional bar code, two-dimensional bar code is widely used in commercial activities, especially in high-tech industry, storage and transportation industry, wholesale and retail industry and other industries that need cheap and fast labeling information for goods
The importance of Human Capital’s Management to Obtaining Expected Results in terms of Academic Degree
No full textThis article has as goal to discuss the importance of Human Capital’s management before and after of teaching title in order to obtain positive results from the investments of Human Resources sector of the institutions of a private administrative nature and demonstrate how a professors’ continuing education plan contributes to the maintenance and/or amplification of expected results from the investments in degree title. From the reach of these goals, it will be answered the problem: What is the relationship between professors’ continuing education and the expected results by the Human Resources sector with academic degree? The hypothesis that guides this article are: there is a direct relationship between the professors’ continuing education plan and the results expected by HEI after teaching title; there is not a direct relationship between the professors’ continuing education plan and the results expected by HEI after teaching title. The data were analyzed in qualitatively in dialog with the theorization with the elaboration of inferences, deductions, and inductions. The results showed the importance of HEI having a plan of professors’ continuing education to be reaching the results in terms of degree title investments
Notes on the development of water treatment technologies: an analysis of patent applications between 2000 and 2020
No full textThis paper aims to analyze the research efforts carried out to develop new technological applications in the field of water and sanitation services. We use the Derwent Innovations platform to perform a search for global patent applications made between 2000 and 2020 that received the D15 technological classification ("treating water, industrial waste and sewage"). The survey identified 31,278 patent families, including 2,938 applications that were extended to Brazil. Our results suggest that General Electric (GE) owns the most technologically important water treatment patents. The company also stands out as the main holder of Brazilian patents, being closely followed by other multinationals such as Veolia and 3M. We conclude that large international companies are interested in spreading the main water treatment technologies to Brazil. Due to its large rivers and aquifers, Brazil poses as an attractive place for the development of new water treatment solutions. On the other hand, despite this favorable scenario, Brazilian organizations are staying out of the global race for patents in the field of water-related technologies

THE ROLE OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL CORTICO-BASAL GANGLIA-THALAMIC AND CORTICO-PONTO-CEREBELLAR PATHWAYS MODELS AND MULTIMODAL TEACHING IN MEDICAL EDUCATION
No full textIntroduction: The COVID-19 pandemic came with impasses, one of them in the educational area, creating numerous barriers. During this period, the access to traditional study methodologies became impracticable, causing some difficulties in the comprehension of some subjects for healthcare students. Therefore a 3D model was elaborated as a learning facilitator, whose main goal was to help healthcare students in the understanding of the voluntary motor movement, addressing the cortico-basal, ganglia-thalamic and cortico-ponto-cerebellar pathways, since the observation in cadavers is not possible. Objective: evaluate the impact of the 3D models in the teaching-learning process and present the comparison and the effects of using a biscuit model and the plastinated cadaveric pieces in the multimodal teaching of human anatomy. Methods: this study involved 47 students from the Physiotherapy course. A prototype was developed using biscuit dough, wood, polystyrene and paint and it illustrated in special dimensions the pyramidal tract and the cortico-basal, ganglia-thalamic and cortico-ponto-cerebellar pathways. The participants performed identical tests before and after the display of the different methodologic resources, 3D model and multimodal, where they were randomly grouped and divided. Results: It was verified that in spite of the greater number of correct answers in the post-test form, there was not, in fact, a significant statistical difference (p=0,654) between the participating groups, which states the necessity of developing an alternative approach and a more significant sample. A significant statistical difference was observed (p<0.001) when comparing the students´ post-test knowledge with their pre-test knowledge when both methodologies were used, setting a multimodal approach, which is an alternative strategy that promotes a better development in teaching and learning. Conclusion: In our study, the teaching with cadaveric pieces (p=0.010) and the use of the 3D model singly (p=0.006) and the multimodal model (p<0.001) obtained similar results statistically. Therefore, the professors must choose the teaching methodology based on their aim and not for the intrinsic qualities in each method
IMPLEMENTATION OF A FILTER FOR ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION IN EARMUFFS FOR AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR OPERATIONS
No full textThe implementation of agricultural mechanization is of paramount importance in modern agriculture, providing the replacement of manual and animal work with the aid of modern machines, contributing to an increase in productivity in crops of increasingly larger areas. However, the use of these technologies can bring some inconvenient factors from an ergonomic point of view. Machine operators, for example, are exposed to high noise levels from tractors. Its harmful effects on health are not limited to hearing alone, but can also cause emotional, cardiovascular and fatigue disorders. There are two methods for noise attenuation: The passive method, which consists only of a physical barrier between the listener's ear canal and the external environment, and the active method, which is based on electronic equipment capable of generating a signal that the phenomenon of destructive wave interference. Agricultural operators often use passive noise mufflers which have the disadvantage of attenuating all sounds indiscriminately, thus limiting the operator's auditory perception. In this context, this work proposes an implementation of active noise cancellation that cancels only noise, allowing other ambient sounds to be heard normally. The work developed is of an experimental nature, where a noise source in an agricultural operation was analyzed, which was used as an input signal for the construction of the filter and simulation. The filter was able to perform active noise cancellation using the LMS and NLMS algorithms, but the NLMS presented better results
