Does teacher certification in mathematics improve high school special education students' performance on the High School Proficiency Assessment?: a preliminary investigation
No full textThis prelimary investigation examined the impact of teacher mathematics certification on high school special education students’ scores on the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) in an urban public school setting. The sample included 76 eleventh grade students classified as special education under IDEA. The student sample represented 70% of males and 30% of females from culturally and economically diverse backgrounds. Five teachers federally classified as highly qualified were included. Out of the teacher sample, four held state certifications in mathematics and one was not certified. Research questions and hypotheses were examined using inferential statistical tests (2-sample t-tests) and effect sizes. Results indicated that special education students who were taught by HQTs certified in mathematics scored significantly better on the Mathematics section of the HSPA than special education students who were taught by HQTs non-certified mathematics teachers. Effect sizes indicated small practical and meaningful differences. Results are outlined and directions for future research are discussed.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical referencesby Maria Angela Staropol
The nonbelonging in Dulce Maria Cardoso's Os meus sentimentos
No full textO estudo da produção romanesca de Dulce Maria Cardoso revela um minucioso trabalho da forma por parte da escritora, que vai da linguagem irônica à rememoração por meio do fluxo de consciência. Tal característica chega ao ápice no romance Os meus sentimentos – nosso corpus – composto por apenas um período que se estende por mais de trezentas páginas. O objetivo da dissertação é comprovar a hipótese de que, no romance em pauta, o tema – que é o sentimento de não-pertença – é constituído principalmente pelas seguintes categorias: linguagem, personagem, narração, focalização e tempo. Por meio da voz narrativa da protagonista, da focalização interna fixa e do vaivém temporal acompanhado de fluxo de consciência elabora-se tal sentimento. Os dois últimos recursos – inversões temporais e fluxo de consciência – constroem a consciência da personagem e também o que pode ser considerado como subconsciência. Tendo em vista a disposição estrutural de tais categorias da narrativa escolhida objetiva-se ainda verificar se elas exercem papel assemelhado em outras obras da escritora portuguesa. Outrossim, objetivamos definir a não-pertença, bem como compreender qual a relação que a produção literária de Dulce Maria Cardoso estabelece com a literatura portuguesa contemporânea. A fim de atingir tais objetivos, contamos com embasamento teórico-crítico dividido em quatro linhas principais: definição de não-pertença, contando com George H. Mead em Mente, self e sociedade, Abraham Maslow em Motivation and personality e Zygmunt Bauman em Identidade; proposições teóricas sobre personagem, narração, focalização e tempo, contando principalmente com “A personagem do romance”, de António Candido, “A meia marrom”, de Erich Auerbach e Discurso da narrativa, de Gérard Genette; crítica sobre a produção da escritora, sobretudo o artigo “Liquidez, reconfigurações e pluralidades: a representação identitária da sociedade portuguesa em Chão de Pardais de Dulce Maria Cardoso”, de Nefatalin Gonçalves Neto e Angela Gama; e o ensaio sobre o romance português contemporâneo A voz itinerante, de Álvaro Cardoso Gomes.Abstract: The study of the literary production of Dulce Marie Cardoso unveils a detailed work on the form by the author, which ranges from the ironic language to the remembrance through the stream of consciousness. Such characteristic reaches the apex on the novel Os meus sentimentos – our corpus – composed by a period alone, extended over three hundred pages. The objective of the dissertation is to prove the hypothesis that, in the book, the theme – which is the nonbelonging – is constituted especially by the following categories: language, character, narrative, focalization and time. Through the narrative voice of the protagonist, the fixed internal focalization, and the temporal shuttle accompanied by the stream of consciousness such sentiment is elaborated. The last two resources – temporal inversions and stream of consciousness – build the consciousness of the character and also what can be considered as subconsciousness. Furthermore, we intend to define the nonbelonging and understand which relationship the novel production by Dulce Maria Cardoso has with the contemporary Portuguese literature. In view of the structural disposition of such categories of the chosen narrative, it is still intended to verify if they play a similar role in other works of the Portuguese writer. In order to achieve these objectives, we have a theoretical critical basis divided into four main lines: definition of nonbelonging, relying upon George H. Mead in Mente, self e sociedade, Abraham Maslow in Motivation and personality and Zymunt Bauman in Identidade; theoretical propositions of character, narration, focalization and time, mainly based on “A personagem do romance”, by António Candido, “A meia marrom”, by Erich Auerbach, and Discurso da narrativa, by Gérard Genette; critique about the production of the writer, in particular the article “Liquidez, reconfigurações e pluralidades: a representação identitária da sociedade portuguesa em Chão de Pardais de Dulce Maria Cardodo”, by Nefatalin Gonçalves Neto and Angela Gama; and the essay about the contemporary Portuguese novel A voz itinerante, by Álvaro Cardoso Gomes.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)132329/2017-

No full textSistema de informações como apoio à gestão de risco no transporte rodoviário de produtos perigosos
No full textDissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnologico. Programa de Pós-graduação em Engenharia CivilEsta dissertação tem como tema o Transporte Rodoviário de Produtos Perigosos no Estado de Santa Catarina, que tem crescido significativamente nos últimos anos, por serem insumos indispensáveis à tecnologia e à industrialização de bens e produtos para o desenvolvimento regional. A existência dessa especialidade de transporte é, por si só, um fato relevante, por trazer consigo uma potencialidade de risco à vida e ao meio ambiente. Esse tema se insere na Gestão de Risco de Desastres, pois o manuseio de produtos perigosos impõe diversos tipos de riscos, capazes de ocasionar danos ou mesmo caracterizar desastres de efeitos catastróficos. O objetivo principal é levantar e organizar em um inventário os dados oficiais existentes sobre o Transporte Rodoviário de Produtos Perigosos no Estado de Santa Catarina. Os dados levantados geram uma quantidade de informação que deve ser tratada como um elemento de gestão de risco, estratégia e planejamento organizacional/institucional. Este trabalho apresenta como etapas uma síntese da pesquisa realizada no Estado de Santa Catarina e uma proposta de utilização de novas tecnologias da informação, com a construção de um SIG. Observou-se durante os estudos e pesquisas que há um grande índice de desconhecimento por parte das transportadoras, motoristas e os órgãos competentes sobre o que circula por nossas rodovias, bem como o real perigo do produto transportado e como agir na ocorrência de um acidente envolvendo estes produtos. A lida com produtos perigosos tem evoluído no caminho da maior prevenção e redução de riscos nos diversos segmentos produtivos e de consumo em que eles são parte necessária. O controle, o monitoramento e a fiscalização, bem como estudos e pesquisas abordando a problemática do tema, são fundamentais para a gestão de risco de desastres e servem de apoio às tomadas de decisão nas políticas públicas relacionadas com segurança viária, saúde pública e preservação ambiental. This paper has as subject the Road Transport of Hazardous Materials in Santa Catarina State, that has grown significantly in recent years, because they are essential inputs to the technology and industrialization of goods and products to the regional development. The existence of this specialty of transport is, by itself, a relevant fact, for bringing with it a potential risk to the life and the environment. This subject is inserted in the Disasters Risk Management, as the handling of hazardous materials imposes diverse types of risks, capable to cause damages or even characterize disasters of catastrophic effects. The main objective is to raise and organize in an inventory the official data available on Road Transport of Hazardous Materials in the State of Santa Catarina. The data raised generate an amount of information that must be treated as an element of risk management, strategy and organizational/ institutional planning. This work presents as stages a synthesis of the research carried through in the State of Santa Catarina and a proposal of use new information technologies, with the construction of a GIS. It was observed during the studies and research that there is a great index of unfamiliarity on the part of transporters, drivers and the competent agencies about what it circulates for our roads, as well as the real danger of product transported and as to act in the occurrence of an accident being involved these products. The deals with hazardous materials has evolved in the way of greater prevention and reduction of risks in the diverse segments of production and consumption where they are necessary part. The control, monitoring and fiscalization, as well as studies and research approaching the problematic of the subject, are essential for the risk management of disastres and serve of support to the taking of decision in the public politics related with road safety, public health and environmental preservation
Vestígios da cultura popular em Angela Lago: conto recontado é segredo revelado
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaA presente dissertação elabora, sob o domínio da cultura popular, e configura, sob o viés do conto popular recontado, a leitura de algumas obras da escritora brasileira para crianças, Angela Lago. Pretende-se, em primeiro lugar, identificar nos recontos da escritora, a persistência dos modelos narrativos que a tradição popular de cunho escrito manteve vivo; em segundo, verificar se nesses recontos as narrativas assumiram modelos diferenciados dos tradicionais da cultura popular. Na seqüência, busca-se comprovar a presença de forças que ora aproximam, ora afastam os textos do fundo comum da tradição e constatar o modo particular do reconto de Angela Lago
Gli avvenimenti storici come rivelazione L’incipit della Legatio ad Caium di filone di Alessandria
No full textIn the incipit of Legatio ad Caium of Philo of Alexandria anthropological and theological concepts are expressed which do not appear immediately relevant to the story: the narration of dramatic historical circumstances which the author personally lived through. The analysis of the specific contents reveals the connection betwen fundamental religious and cultural themes which are reoccurring themes in the various works of Philo. The introduction does not place ideology a priori but his considerations are evidence of a method of judgement of historical events
Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole
The Mid-adriatic Metropolitan Area in Marche Region. An Integrated Territorial Project that Includes Inland Areas and Cities in a Metropolitan Context to Relaunch Local Competitive Systems
No full textAbstracti) Context and purpose of the research.This paper describes a part of the applied research carried out by the Urban Planning Area of SIMAU Department of Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona Municipality.ii) The scope of this paper is to demonstrate the short-sightedness of the decision, at a national level, of identifying 15 Metropolitan Areas according to dimensional rather than function and relational parameters, that trigger integrated metropolitan development.iii) methodology: this paper starts from the Marche region experience, which is one of the regions not included in the 15 regions with urban areas classified as metropolitan areas pursuant to Regional Law no. 56/2014 (because it does not have cities with more than 250,000 inhabitants in the territory), to request that the criteria used to identify metropolitan areas in Italy be revised. The Region has started the creation of the territorial partnership called the Mid-Adriatic Metropolitan Area (Area Metropolitana Medio-Adriatica – AMMA). This experience of a new method for the management of the territory was implemented by the Research project, by identifying functional connective systems that confirm its unitary structure and the current and future potential, for the widespread systematic development of the Metropolitan Area as a whole.iv) Principal results and major conclusions.This experience, is today in Italy, an extraordinary case study generated from of local participatory development (Community-Led Local Development – CLLD); a integrated, bottom-up process with the involvement of local communities.The results of the applied research, conducted in the Middle-Adriatic Territory, made it possible to identify critical and original aspects in the organisation of the “variable geometry” system of relationships between Municipalities, in terms of participation in complex projects and the introduction of specific Territorial Protocols of Understanding, to Identify de facto cities with respect to the de jure and developmental cities of the FUAs in Marche region. The entire Area Vasta (Associated Local Health Districts) indeed behaves, like a large city, with a unique urban structure and strong functional interconnected relationships
