THE DECOLONIAL PROJECT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORIES OF CURRICULUM: eking for new epistemologies
No full textThis article has the goal of establishing an interface between decolonity and curriculum with the intent of thinking and creating other epistemic places on educational theories and practices. It discusses the contributions of decoloniality for the elaboration of a new curriculum to raise awareness on identities and experiences of social groups historically subordinate by the colonization of power, of being, and knowledge. Also, it highlights the protagonism of black intellectuals from Brazil, especially the theory of black feminism, in the proposition of the decolonial turning point in a context that lacks debates about it as a theory academically legitimized. Furthermore, it points out the potentialities of a decolonized curriculum to think about other possibilities of knowledge and for a pedagogy that is not subservient and surrendered by Euro-centered and colonizing ways of thinkin
Sex education in school and teacher training: : contributions to an imperative agenda
No full textFrom this brief preamble, it is opportune to investigate how sexual education is taught in schools as well as the production of researchers engaged in studying this matter. Teachers are the main agents involved in the mediation of knowledge. After all, they mediate contents and discuss information on sex and sexuality that come from the family, society or media, with which children and adolescents interact. This study aims to investigate, from a selection of productions available on Capes Journal Portal, which are the theorists/theories most cited by researchers who discuss the teaching of sex and sexuality to children and adolescents. To identify the theoretical sources used by these authors to support their studies, the following research question was formulated: according to the authors that discuss sexuality education for adolescents and children, what are the characteristics of the teacher education program and which theorists are more cited in their studies? The study consists of a qualitative-convergent mixed systematic review. We used the descriptors ‘sexuality’ and ‘teaching’ in exact terms. The eligibility criteria consisted of articles (i) published from 2019 to 2020; (ii) with open access; (iii) reviewed by; and (iv) with a focus of interest on basic education (adolescents and children). The content analysis of the main results obtained allowed to organize the findings into four categories: school-based sexual education and teacher training: contributions to an inevitable discussion; teaching and sexuality; teacher training for sexuality education; theories cited. From the results, it can be seen that the mediation between the two theories – teaching and sexuality – takes place almost exclusively in Biology and Sciences classes. And in these subjects, the teachers’ focus is on reproductive issues, something that does not allow an effective exploration of the sexuality topic by the main players of the teaching action
Clinical and morphological factors associated with two groups of concordant breast cancer immunophenotypes: a cross-sectional study of 24-year historical series
No full textThis study aimed to describe the prevalence of invasive breast cancer (IBC) in women assisted in a public hospital in Brazil and to establish a correlation between two models of classification by immunophenotypes, one of them based on the 13th St. Gallen Conference classification and the other on biomarker-defined subtypes based on HER2 and oestrogen receptor status, as described in World Health Organization (WHO). We selected IBC of 1335 cases between 1994 and 2018. Univariate frequencies and associations were estimated using chi-square tests. The concordance between the two immunohistochemical analysis models above mentioned using Cohen's kappa coefficients. The most prevalent subtype was luminal B/HER2, and the frequency of tumours with a worse prognosis was 62.7%. Has been identified an association between histological grade 3 (G3) and the worst prognostic subtypes: non-luminal A, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), non-ER+/HER2- and ER-/HER2-. A similar association was found in nuclear G3 tumours. The results showed agreement between 99.48% and 100% when we compared the two immunohistochemical analysis models. Furthermore, there was an absolute agreement between the two models of immunohistochemical analysis. These results can contribute to institutions that do not have a molecular investigation, enabling accessible routine practice tools. Among the most important questions addressed in this work is the association between histological and nuclear G3 with the worst prognostic subtypes. Using the St. Gallen Conference classification and HER2 and ER status based on subtypes verified the feasibility of selecting IBC with different prognoses and correlated them with recognized predictive and prognostic factors
EVALUATION AND DEPRECIATION ANALISYS OF THE IMMOBILE MARKET VALUE IN THE CITY OF CODÓ-MA.
No full textDue to the heterogeneity of the real estate market and its peculiarities, it is not always possible to develop a single model that is totally faithful and representative of the market reality, thus, the Evaluation Engineering is increasingly developing, with the use of increasingly advanced processes in the determination of the value of the good, such as the application of statistical inference and the use of physical depreciation. This study aims to determine the value of a property in the city of Codó-MA, using statistical inference through multiple linear regression and, later, to verify physical depreciation. The data were collected in the city of Codó,MA, in real estate, construction companies that work with the sale of houses, ads and, its statistical treatment was performed by the Sisdea software. After the statistical treatment some models were generated and the most effective one was used and the one that best met the requirements foreseen by NBR 14653-2 (2011) and, after the physical depreciation was verified by two different methods: survey of the cost of recovering the good and Ross Heidecke’s method. Finally, it was possible to determine the market value of the property and to make a critical analysis among the values found of physical depreciation by each method performed
A Course Redesign Project: Adaptive Courseware in Biology
No full textIn the summer of 2019, a cooperative team of Biology faculty and a principal investigator worked to develop a solid set of aligned student learning outcomes across the sections of first semester (BIOL 1305) and second semester (BIOL 1306) of introductory Biology. Additionally, the group worked on course objectives alignment within the scope and sequence of the courses, as well as aligned syllabi. A full course redesign was initiated over the summer, where the goal was to align student learning outcomes (SLOs), assessments, and develop a shared set of syllabi for six sections across two courses of introductory biology.
At UTEP, the overall goal was to integrate adaptive courseware technology tools, open education resources (OER) and active learning strategies within a course redesign in our Learning Management System (LMS), Blackboard, for a number of sections in Biology 1305 and Biology 1306 beginning in the spring of 2020. This is challenging, as much of adaptive courseware technology is not as strong in content as the Biology faculty would like for these classes, although it can help to substantially reduce the costs for students. The information that follows defines the case study for integrating adaptive courseware within the course redesign process for a series of high enrollment introductory Biology course
Mapping the DMAIC Tool in the Public Sector: A Bibliometric Literature Review
No full textThe quality and continuous improvement of products and processes continue to play an essential role in the business context, with the need for more responsive, flexible, and responsive organizations. Among the many tools and methodologies employed, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control), linked to Six Sigma, is used to improve existing products or organizational processes. Nevertheless, if in the private sector, the adoption and practice of these tools and methodologies are widely used, in the public sector, in turn, the applicability of DMAIC is little employed. In this perspective, and using the methodological resource of systematic literature review, this article aims to identify the applicability of the DMAIC tool in the public sector. The review indicates that while DMAIC still has low public evidence, the tool can be efficiently applied across the industry, enabling positive results for organizations, reducing costs, delivering efficient processes, and increasing customer satisfaction
Active Methodologies in Teaching Human Anatomy: An Integrative Review
No full textHuman anatomy is one of the fundamental disciplines for the training of health professionals, especially in the medical field. Its didactic origin is based on the European school where the body was dissected in amphitheaters and anatomical knowledge was transmitted from the teacher to his students. With the restructuring of medical curricula, and the use of active methodologies, seeking to make the student the center of the learning process, anatomy started to be taught in another way. This study carries out an integrative review in the Scielo, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases, from 2015 to 2020, about the active methodologies used in the teaching of human anatomy for the medical course. The PICo strategy was used to form the guiding question and the results were presented through the Prisma Flow diagram. It was found that there are a number of tools and strategies that can be used aiming at the active teaching of human anatomy, however, a common point observed in most works is the approach of joint use with cadavers and anatomical parts, thus seeking to stimulate the development of the skills and competences of medical students
Entrepreneurship Education Experience for Health Professionals and Bloom's Taxonomy Revised
No full textThe paper presents the experience of teaching entrepreneurship in a health-focused Higher Education Institution, based on Bloom’s Taxonomy revised by Lori Anderson (2001). The teaching methodologies that were used focused on creativity, analysis, criticism, planning and interpersonal skills to develop the expertise needed to undertake and manage different types of businesses. Students were encouraged to propose business and healthcare solutions by employing creativity, ideation, planning, and management tools. Other practices like Brainstorm, the Edward de Bono's 6 Hats technique, the PIN - Positive, Interesting and Negative Points technique, and the Business Model Canvas proposed by Alexander Osterwalder for business modeling, among others, were used. The next step was the elaboration of Businesses Plans, using popular models or the project model proposed by the Project Management Body of Knowledge. At the time of the final evaluation, there was a business round with the presentation of the students' plans and questions, and comments with emphasis on the proposed ideas and solutions, as well as a self-evaluation. It was noticed that this exercise allowed the learning process to take place in a contextualized way, involving gradual degrees of complexity while being characterized as a process articulated to the daily work, in line with the curricular guidelines for the training of health professionals

INVESTIGATION OF AIR INJECTION TO ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY FROM MEDIUM OIL RESERVOIR OF UPPER INDUS BASIN OF PAKISTAN
No full textPreviously, air injection is exclusively used in light oil reservoirs; however, laboratory research has shown that air injection can also be very efficient for medium and heavy oil recovery. Due to the low cost of air injection and its indefinite availability, it has an economic advantage over other Enhanced Oil Recovery methods. This study is carried out in an experiment conducted on air injection into medium oil reservoirs. To better understand the air injection procedure for enhancing oil recovery from the X field's medium oil (26.12 °API) of Pakistan reservoir, 14 runs were performed.
The effects of air flux, porous media, temperature, and pressure on oxidation reaction rates were explored and measured. The consumption of oxygen at a rate of 90% was determined. At a moderate pressure of 7300 kPa, a significant oil recovery of around 81% of the original oil in place was observed. Increased air flux and low permeability can have a more significant effect on medium oil recovery.
The technique produced flue gases that were exceptionally low in carbon oxides, with a typical gas composition of 12% CO2, 6% CO, and unreacted oxygen.
This research will contribute to a better knowledge of the air injection method and allow for the optimum performance for a specified reservoir. In the Enhanced oil recovery, a less costly process using this method will be inspiring due to recovering oil in this region
