Birth and evolution of the discipline of Physics in secondary education: an analysis from the theory of David Layton
No full textTese (Doutorado)Este texto apresenta uma pesquisa que analisou a gênese e a evolução da disciplina de Física no Brasil à luz da teoria de David Layton. A partir de uma investigação qualitativa, foram levantados aspectos que deram subsídios para o entendimento do modo como tal disciplina surgiu e tomou espaço no currículo secundário nacional. O trabalho foi amparado numa metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica que analisou livros, artigos, teses e dissertações. Além disso, o exame de documentos relativos as legislações educacionais auxiliaram a estruturação e escrita da história da disciplina de Física em nosso país. Todos os acontecimentos que possibilitaram o seu nascimento e desenvolvimento foram considerados a partir da teoria de David Layton. Este autor prevê que o movimento histórico de uma disciplina ocorre em três etapas, indo desde um princípio mais utilitarista e de interesse às resoluções de problemas imediatos de estudantes, passando por um processo de afirmação até o momento em que a disciplina, já estabilizada, aproxima-se das características das cadeiras universitárias. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que as contingências históricas da disciplina de Física no Brasil são muito particulares e não podem ser descritas em uma teoria geral.This text presents a research that analyzed the genesis and the evolution of the discipline of Physics in Brazil in the light of David Layton 's theory. From a qualitative investigation, aspects were raised that gave subsidies for the understanding of how this discipline emerged and took space in the national secondary curriculum. The work was supported by a methodology of bibliographic research that analyzed books, articles, theses and dissertations. In addition, the examination of documents related to educational legislation helped to structure and write the history of the discipline of Physics in our country. All the events that enabled his birth and development were considered from David Layton's theory. This author predicts that the historical movement of a discipline occurs in three stages, going from a more utilitarian and interest principle to the resolutions of immediate problems of students, passing through a process of affirmation until the discipline, already stabilized, approaches the characteristics of the chairs university students. The results of the research showed that the historical contingencies of the discipline of Physics in Brazil are very particular and cannot be described in a general theory
Hieroglyphic Semantics in Late Antiquity
No full textThe primary aim of this thesis is the reconstruction of a development in the history of the philosophy of language, namely an understanding of hieroglyphic Egyptian as a language uniquely adapted to the purposes and concerns of late Platonist metaphysics. There are three main reasons for this particular focus.
First, the primary interest of philological criticism has emphasized the apparent shortcomings of the classical hieroglyphic tradition in light of the success of the modern decipherment endeavour. Though the Greek authors recognize a number of philologically distinctive features, they are primarily interested in contrasting hieroglyphic and Greek semantics. The latter is capable of discursive elaboration of the sapiential content to which the former is non-discursively adapted.
Second, the sole surviving, fully extant essay in the exegesis of Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Hieroglyphica of Horapollo can be situated within the broader philosophical project in which the Neoplatonic commentators were engaged. As such, it draws on elements of the distinct traditions of Greek reception of Egyptian wisdom, 4th/5th century pagan revivalism under Christian persecution, and late Platonist logico-metaphysical methodological principles.
Third, the rationale for Neoplatonic use of allegorical interpretation as an exegetical tool is founded on the methodological principle of ‘analytic ascent’ from the phenomena depicted, through the concepts under which they fall, to their intelligible causes. These three stages in the ascent correspond to the three modes of expression of which, according to Greek exegetes, hieroglyphic Egyptian, as composites of material images and intelligible content, is capable.
Horapollo’s Hieroglyphica, I argue, maintains a tripartite distinction between linguistic expressions, their meanings, and the objects or name-bearers which they depict and further aligns that distinction with three modes of hieroglyphic expression: representative, semantic, and symbolic. I conclude, therefore, that a procedure of analytic explanatory ascent from empirical observation through discursive reason to metaphysical or cosmological insights is employed in the exegesis of the sapiential content of the hieroglyphs of which it treats
Attribution vs. possession in Coptic : The origin and development of an opposition
No full textThis paper is intended to reconstruct the process that led to the formal opposition between the patterns
used for expressing possessive and attributive relationships in the Coptic language (Sahidic dialect).
Having explained this opposition on a synchronic level, the following questions should be answered:
What is the source of the formal likeness; How did this system develop, and what were the syntactic
and semantic preconditions for such a grammaticalization? Having identified the common source, an
additional question arises: How come the two constructions still differ, and do not show a complete
formal identity
Systematic review of clinical practice guidelines for acne vulgaris published between January 2017 and July 2021
No full textBackground: acne is very common, can cause considerable negative impact on quality of life and there is increasing concern over the use of long courses of oral antibiotics for this condition.Objectives: (1) To critically appraise reporting in acne guidelines and compare this with previous systematic review of acne guidelines. (2) Examine acne treatment guidance on pre-specified acne treatments of interest and compare between acne guidelines.Methods: searches for new or updated guidelines were carried out in MEDLINE, Embase, Google Scholar, LILACS from 1 January 2017 to 31 July 2021, supplemented by searching a guideline-specific depository and checking for updates to guidelines included in previous review. We included guidelines, consensus statements or care protocols on the medical treatment of acne vulgaris in adults and/or children and excluded those that focused on a single intervention or subgroup of acne, regional adaptations of guidelines or guidelines included in previous review. AGREE II checklist was applied to critically appraise reporting of guidelines. Results were synthesised narratively.Results: of 807 abstracts identified nine guidelines were identified that were eligible for inclusion. All guidelines had AGREE II scores above average in at least one domain and reporting was substantially improved compared to the systematic review of acne carried out 5 years previously. There was consensus between guidelines on the key role of topical treatments as first-line acne treatment and most recommended continuing topical treatments as maintenance therapy. There was considerable variation between guidelines on classification of severity, indications for commencing oral antibiotics and on maximum duration of oral antibiotics. However, there was consensus on the need for co-prescription of a non-antibiotic topical treatment when using oral antibiotics. There were notable differences on recommendations regarding provision of information for patients on how to use topical treatments or how to mitigate against side effects.Conclusions: substantial differences in classification of acne severity hampered comparisons between guidelines. Although development and reporting of guidelines has improved over the past 5 years, differences in key recommendations remain, possibly reflecting uncertainties in the underlying evidence base. Differences between guidelines could have substantial implications for prevalence of antibiotic prescribing for acne
The rise and fall of the Labour league of youth
No full textThis thesis charts the rise and fall of the Labour Party’s first and most enduring youth organisation, the Labour League of Youth. The history of the League, from its birth in the early nineteen twenties to its demise in the late nineteen fifties, is placed in the context of the Labour Party’s subsequent fruitless attempts to establish and maintain a vibrant and functional youth organisation. A narrative is incorporated that illuminates the culture, organisation and political activism of the League and establishes it as a predominantly working class radical organisation. The reluctance on the part of the Labour Party to grant autonomy to its youth sections resulted in the history of the League of Youth being one of control, suppression and tension. This state of affairs ensured that subsequent youth groups, the Young Socialists and Young Labour, would be established in an atmosphere of reservation and scepticism.
The thesis places the prime responsibility for the failure of the party’s youth organisations with the party leadership but also considers the contributory factors of changing social and political circumstances. A number of themes are explored which include the impact of structure and agency factors, the power of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the political socialisation of leading figures within the party, the social context in which each of the groups emerged and the extent to which the youth groups were prey to intra-party factionalism.
The thesis redresses the balance of research where most accounts have focussed on the Young Socialists and traces the common characteristics that are prevalent in the way the party leadership has approached its relationship with its youth organisations. Use has been made of previously unpublished primary source material, the major source being the League of Youth members themselves whose recollections have helped to demonstrate the arguments put forward in this thesis
Identifying acne treatment uncertainties via a James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership
No full textObjectives: The Acne Priority Setting Partnership
(PSP) was set up to identify and rank treatment
uncertainties by bringing together people with acne,
and professionals providing care within and beyond the
National Health Service (NHS).
Setting: The UK with international participation.
Participants: Teenagers and adults with acne,
parents, partners, nurses, clinicians, pharmacists,
private practitioners.
Methods: Treatment uncertainties were collected via
separate online harvesting surveys, embedded within the
PSP website, for patients and professionals. A wide
variety of approaches were used to promote the surveys
to stakeholder groups with a particular emphasis on
teenagers and young adults. Survey submissions were
collated using keywords and verified as uncertainties by
appraising existing evidence. The 30 most popular
themes were ranked via weighted scores from an online
vote. At a priority setting workshop, patients and
professionals discussed the 18 highest-scoring questions
from the vote, and reached consensus on the top 10.
Results: In the harvesting survey, 2310 people,
including 652 professionals and 1456 patients (58%
aged 24 y or younger), made submissions containing at
least one research question. After checking for relevance
and rephrasing, a total of 6255 questions were collated
into themes. Valid votes ranking the 30 most common
themes were obtained from 2807 participants. The top 10
uncertainties prioritised at the workshop were largely
focused on management strategies, optimum use of
common prescription medications and the role of nondrug
based interventions. More female than male patients
took part in the harvesting surveys and vote. A wider
range of uncertainties were provided by patients
compared to professionals.
Conclusions: Engaging teenagers and young adults in
priority setting is achievable using a variety of
promotional methods. The top 10 uncertainties reveal an
extensive knowledge gap about widely used interventions
and the relative merits of drug versus non-drug based
treatments in acne management
Demographic polarization and the rise of the far right: Brazil’s 2018 presidential election
No full textDoes the recent electoral success of far-right populists represent a mere rejection of the political and economic status quo, or has it revealed deeper cultural divides? Historically, demographic cleavages have been poor predictors of vote choice and partisanship in Latin America. However, during Brazil’s 2018 presidential election campaign, right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro fomented conflict across lines of gender, race, and religion. We argue that his candidacy activated latent, previously unexploited grievances in the electorate. Using survey data from an original five-wave online panel conducted between July 2018 and January 2019, we examine the effect of demographic cleavages on presidential vote choice. In stark contrast to prior elections, we find clear evidence of demographic divides in 2018, partially mediated by issue positions. Bolsonaro’s campaign and subsequent election thus appear to have created new identity-based alignments in Brazil’s electorate. Our findings shed further light on the global resurgence of the far right, suggesting that far-right candidates can attract new bases of support through demographic polarization, exploiting differences in values and issue preferences by gender, race, ethnicity, and religion.This article is published as Layton, M.
