A BOTÂNICA NA OBRA POÉTICA DE AGOSTINHO NETO: THE BOTANY IN THE POETICS WORK OF AGOSTINHO NETO
No full textHá muita botânica a descobrir na obra poética de Agostinho Neto (1922-1979). Este trabalho em especial visa investigar as plantas citadas em “Sagrada Esperança e Renúncia Impossível”. Os trabalhos de Paiva (2015), Flávio (2016), entre outros, foram importantes na compreensão do estudo das plantas em obras poéticas; Silva (2016) e Amâncio (2016) na análise dos poemas. Foram feitas 5 leituras em cada obra para identificação dos poemas com conteúdos de botânica, buscas no website da Fundação António Agostinho Neto (http://www.agostinhoneto.org/), para o conhecimento da vida e obra do poeta. Ao longo da pesquisa, observou-se que o poeta utilizou elementos da natureza (o mar, a chuva, o relevo, a biodiversidade) e seus significados. O que permitiu a derivação de temas botânicos, nomeadamente, metabolitos secundários vegetal, a biodiversidade e a floresta, espécies e famílias botânicas. Na obra Sagrada Esperança foram registadas 63 citações de nomes comuns de plantas, que permitiu elaborar uma lista de 19 espécies, distribuída em 12 famílias botânica. E na obra Renúncia Impossível registou-se 13 citações, 9 espécies, distribuídas em 8 famílias. Os resultados permitiram constatar a presença da botânica na sua obra, traduzindo-a nos seus poemas. Estudar as plantas na obra poética de Neto é indispensável para os exercícios botânicos, necessários para se darem aos estudantes as instruções precisas e para que não se ignorem esta área da ciência.

ABSTRACT
There is much botany to discover in the poetic work of Agostinho Neto (1922-1979). This particular work aims to investigate the plants cited in "Sacred Hope
and Impossible Renunciation". The works of Paiva (2015), Flávio (2016), among others, were important in understanding the study of plants in poetic works; Silva (2016) and Amancio (2016) in the analysis of the poems. There were 5 readings in each work to identify the poems with botanical contents, searches on the website of the António Agostinho Neto Foundation (http://www.agostinhoneto.org/), for the knowledge of the life and work of the poet. Throughout the research, it was observed that the poet used elements of nature (the sea, rain, relief, biodiversity) and their meanings. This allowed the derivation of botanical topics, namely, plant secondary metabolites, biodiversity and forest, species and botanical families. In Sacred Hope, there were 63 citations of common names of plants, which allowed to elaborate a list of 19 species, distributed in 12 botanical families. And in the work Renunciation Impossible was registered 13 citations, 9 species, distributed in 8 families. The results showed the presence of botany in his work, translating it into his poems. Studying the plants in Neto's poetic work is indispensable for botanical exercises, necessary to give students precise instructions and so that this area of science is not ignored.

No full textIn the current context, given the amount of information that is generated at each moment and the ease of access to it, students are expected to have a variety of learning strategies to better conduct their learning. This study aimed to ascertain the learning strategies used by students who attended Biology and Geography Teaching courses in the academic year 2018, at the Higher Institute of Educational Sciences of Huambo (ISCED-Huambo). 60 students from the 4th year participated, enrolled for the pedagogical internship. Data were collected using a Likert-type Learning Strategy Scale composed of 48 items. Data collection was carried out in person. For data analysis, the frequencies presented by the participants in relation to the use of cognitive, metacognitive learning strategies and absence of strategy were calculated. It was found that students have superficial knowledge about learning strategies and a series of cognitive and metacognitive strategies have not been used frequently and regularly. It is expected that the results of this study will contribute to reflections not only by the students, but also by the teaching staff, aiming to strengthen the quality of training that is provided in the level of teacher training courses and to find methodologies that allow students to know the various strategies learning, knowing when and how to use them.En el contexto actual, dada la cantidad de información que se genera en cada momento y la facilidad de acceso a la misma, se espera que los estudiantes tengan una variedad de estrategias de aprendizaje para conducir mejor su aprendizaje.

The trombone as portrayed in Portuguese iconography during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries
No full textThis article studies eleven sixteenth and seventeenth century iconographical sources depicting slide brass instruments, by both Portuguese and foreign artists active in Portugal, as well as foreign artists depicting Portuguese scenes. This study addresses questions concerning aspects of trombone technique that have not previously been considered and may have implications in the way the trombone was understood elsewhere in Europe. It focuses on aspects of technique depicted that may be representative of the trombone’s contemporary design and performance and therefore the manner in which the instrument was held and indeed played. Finally, this article suggests a transitional technical period when the way of holding the single-slide trumpet may have been used to play the trombone.Publisher PD

Project Point Pedro: A multidisciplinary design study of the Point Pedro fishery harbour
No full textIn Sri Lanka, the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam waged a civil war between 1983 and 2009. During this period the social and economic development in the north and east of the country was disrupted. Due to this disruption a development opportunity for this region is the expansion of the fishery industry. In 2016, the Sri Lankan government proposed the Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development Project, in which the construction of a harbour at Point Pedro in the Jaffna District is included. This harbour should become the second largest fishery harbour in Sri Lanka.This report covers the design study of the Point Pedro harbour project, the goal of this study is to design a safe, economically efficient and socially accepted harbour at Point Pedro. To achieve this goal, the following research question “How can safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact be combined optimally in a harbour design for Point Pedro in the Jaffna District?” is answered.In figure XX, the final design of the harbour can be seen. This design is focused on the optimal combination between safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact. Because these criteria are conflicting, they are prioritized as follows: (1) safety, (2) economic efficiency and (3) environmental impact. Safety is provided by constructing breakwaters around the harbour, providing sheltered water conditions in the harbour basin. Also, the harbour entrance is constructed in a way that monsoon waves cannot directly intrude into the basin. Economic efficiency is accounted for by constructing the quay wall close to the central located fish processing facilities. This optimizes the supply chain, resulting in a smaller loss in the fish production (compared to the current situation). The costs are optimized by reusing all dredged material inside the breakwater or for land reclamation. Additionally, the location of the harbour entrance is minimizing the sailing routes as much as possible, without creating safety issues due to wave intrusion. Finally, the negative effects of social impact are limited by involving local fishermen and residents during the entire development process. Because these stakeholders are potential blockers of the project, it is important to include their opinions in the design. This can also be done by broadening the scope, in which touristic facilities and accommodations can be included in the project. Other negative impacts of the harbour can be either mitigated or minimized. However, because the environmental impact is determined as the least important criteria, it is not able to solve every issue. This design is considered to be the most optimal combination for the harbour design of Point Pedro, regarding the criteria of safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact. It is recommended to EML Consultants that three characteristics of the proposed design should be implemented in their final design for Point Pedro: (1) apply building on the reef for land reclamation inside the harbour, (2) cluster the fish processing facilities near the unloading quay walls, because it optimizes the fish supply chain and reduces fish loss, and (3) construct the jetties for large boats (in the east of the harbour) as proposed, because it optimizes manoeuverability inside the harbour using minimal space. The final recommendation is to perform additional research to make a more accurate design, as the main limitation of the report is the limited amount of available data. Additional research should be done in the fields of; wave data, ground conditions over the entire harbour basin, cost estimation and sedimentation. This report is made on behalf of EML Consultants in Colombo, Sri Lanka.MDP 236Project Point PedroThe Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development ProjectMultidisciplinary Projec
PEDAGOGUES AND TAES AT COLÉGIO PEDRO II - Historical and Identitarian Notes.
No full textThe article aims at relating the process of development of a professional identity among pedagogues in Brazil, the historical path of Pedagogy as a course, the educational legislation in Brazil and Colégio Pedro II. Colégio Pedro II is an educational institution of excellence, whose history, of national importance, has dealt very little with working relationships outside the classroom. For this reason, the objective of this study is to promote discussions which, regarding professional identities, take into consideration not only the subject, but also the group to which they belong. In terms of theoretical support, the author relies on the sociological approach discussed by Dubar (2005) and the analysis of the history of pedagogy courses carried out by Silva (2006). In addition, other relevant instances are public selection notices for admission to Colégio Pedro II from 1946 to 2015, academic studies upon the theme and responses from entities and professionals in the field of Education upon the pedagogy course programmes. The author takes into account that identities of both the pedagogue and the educational matters technician (TAE) are entangled at institutional level, which shows that the institution is still unsure of what to require and demand from both professionals. Although these educational matters professionals have licentiate degrees in other areas, it is still expected at institutional level that they act as specialists in education (pedagogue)
