Universidade e compromisso social: a prática da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina no Núcleo de Estudos da Terceira Idade
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração, Florianópolis, 2013O Brasil está passando por uma revolução demográfica: a média de filhos por mulher vem diminuindo e a expectativa de vida aumentando. Estima-se que em 2050 quase um terço da população brasileira terá 60 anos ou mais. Essa perspectiva demanda estudos que analisem questões que vão além da sobrevida dos idosos, como a autonomia e cidadania. As universidades, sobretudo as públicas, necessitam estar atentas à questão e promover espaço para esse público. Na década de 1970 na França surgiu o primeiro projeto que impulsionou o movimento das Universidades da Terceira Idade em todo o mundo. Com estrutura dentro da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC, o Núcleo de Estudos da Terceira Idade - NETI foi um dos pioneiros no Brasil a lutar pela temática da Terceira Idade nas universidades. Assim, o presente estudo visa compreender as práticas de compromisso social da UFSC por meio do NETI. Para tanto, se desenvolveu uma pesquisa sobre terceira idade, universidade e compromisso social, com abordagem predominantemente qualitativa e descritiva, caracterizando-se também como básica, ocasional, bibliográfica e um estudo de caso do NETI. A coleta e análise de dados foram realizadas por meio de pesquisa documental, questionários enviados aos professores que trabalharam em projetos oferecidos pelo NETI no segundo semestre de 2012, acompanhamento do projeto Previdência e Cidadania oferecido pelo NETI no segundo semestre de 2012 e, principalmente por entrevistas semiestruturadas feita com gestores da UFSC, gestores do NETI e com representantes estudantis deste Núcleo, com análise de conteúdo frente à teoria existente. Mesmo subordinado à Pró-Reitoria de Extensão, o NETI pode ser considerado como uma Universidade Aberta da Terceira Idade, pois pratica ensino, pesquisa e extensão, oferecendo cursos, grupos e oficinas, a maioria para a população a partir dos 50 anos. Com uma vertente educativa que prioriza a autonomia dos sujeitos, atuou em muitas das conquistas de políticas públicas para os idosos, mesmo com uma estrutura enxuta, com poucos funcionários: o Núcleo é muito dependente dos voluntários. O voluntariado é positivo porque muitos têm vontade de participar e são convidados a fazer junto, mas é também uma fragilidade, à medida que os projetos dependem do voluntariado para sua continuidade. Os projetos do NETI visam o desenvolvimento de autonomia, os alunos têm um diálogo aberto e voz ativa no Núcleo, e metodologia dos projetos desenvolvidos é formativa. Percebeu-se que os projetos desenvolvidos no NETI têm forte compromisso social pelo próprio objetivo norteador do Núcleo: independência e autonomia. A questão da formação é forte. Muitos dos projetos são trabalhados de forma consultiva, e alguns surgiram das demandas dos participantes. Conclui-se que as práticas do NETI representam bem o compromisso social da UFSC, mas que a universidade deve repensar a forma que o Núcleo está colocado em sua estrutura, para que o mesmo possa ter mais autonomia e segurança para seguir cumprindo sua função social.Abstract: Brazil is experiencing a demographic revolution: the average number of children per woman has decreased while life expectancy has significantly increased. It is estimated that in 2050 nearly a third of the Brazilian population will be 60 years or older. This perspective demands studies for analyzing issues which go beyond the survival of the elderly, such as their autonomy and citizenship. Universities, especially public ones, need to be aware of this issue and promote space for this kind of public. The first project of this kind was elaborated in France during the 70s and it propelled the Senior University movement worldwide. Established within the Federal University of Santa Catarina # UFSC, the Senior Center of Study - NETI was a pioneer in the fight for the issue of senior citizens in universities in Brazil. There by, this research aims at analyzing the practices of social commitment of the Federal University of Santa Catarina with the senior citizens through NETI. For such, a research regarding senior age, university and social commitment, with a predominantly qualitative and descriptive approach was conducted. Also, the research is characterized as basic, occasional, bibliographic and a case study of NETI. Data collection was mainly done through semi-structured interviews with UFSC and NETI managers, and representatives of NETI Student Associations . Questionnaires were also sent to teachers working on programs offered by NETI in the second semester of 2012, and a close watch of the Previdencia e Cidadania project, offered by NETI also in the second semester of 2012, was kept. Data collected was tabbed and analyzed based on existent literature on the subject. Even subordinated to the Dean of Extension, NETI may be regarded as an Open Senior University, for practicing teaching, researching and extension, providing courses and workshops, mostly to people from the age of 50. With an education aimed at prioritizing the autonomy of individuals, NETI participated in many of the achievements of public policies for the elderly. The NETI#s center has a lean structure, with a small staff and many volunteers. The volunteering is positive because many people are willing to participate and engage the cause, but it also becomes a weakness, as the projects depend on volunteers for its continuity. NETI#s projects aim at the development of autonomy, and the methodology of its projects is formative. NETI#s students have an open dialog and a heard voice within its center. It is noticed that the projects developed by NETI have strong social commitment, even for its center main goal: independence and autonomy. The issue of training is very strong. Many of the projects developed are executed in a more consultative fashion, and some came from the demands of the participants. It was conclude, therefore, that the practices of NETI represent the social commitment of UFSC, but the university should rethink the way the NETI#s center is placed in its structure, so it can have more autonomy and assuredness to continue fulfilling its social function
A TERCEIRA IDADE NA UNIVERSIDADE: PARTICIPAÇÃO E CIDADANIA NO NÚCLEO DE ESTUDOS DA TERCEIRA IDADE DA UFSC
Full text linkAproximadamente um terço da população brasileira será idosa nas próximas décadas, portanto é relevante compreender a situação da terceira idade para assegurar a cidadania dos idosos, sendo bom para toda a sociedade, visto que as próximas gerações também partilharão de tais avanços. O Núcleo de Estudos da Terceira Idade – NETI, foi o pioneiro a lutar pela Terceira Idade dentro das universidades brasileiras. O presente trabalho resgata conceitos de terceira idade, universidade pública e sua função social, cidadania e participação visando compreender de que forma o NETI envolve os sujeitos de forma participativa em suas estruturas. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa qualitativo-descritiva, através de bibliografias, documentos institucionais, observação direta e entrevista semiestruturada com coordenadora, fundadora e duas representações estudantis do Núcleo. Encontrou-se um Núcleo iniciado por meio de pesquisa das aspirações da comunidade e levantado junto aos alunos voluntários, com alguns cursos desenvolvidos como resposta à demanda dos alunos. Desse modo, o Núcleo mantém um processo de participação ativa de seus membros, colocando o idoso em uma posição representativa no âmbito da universidade e na sociedade
A review on the therapeutic effects of Neti Kriya with special reference to Jala Neti
No full textNeti kriya is an integral part of shatkarmas/the six cleansing techniques that form the most important aspect of hatha yoga. Neti helps in preventing and managing upper respiratory tract diseases. An attempt is being made to collate and review articles that highlight the therapeutic effects of neti kriya. Databases like PubMed (January 1980–April 2016), Scopus and Ayush Portal were searched. We used keywords like jala neti, neti kriya, neti combined with terms such as yoga, sinusitis, rhinitis, common cold, vision, snoring, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and mental health for the search. As only a few results were obtained, we reviewed relevant studies with saline nasal irrigation. Evidence emerging from this review suggests that neti offers manifold benefits and relief from the antibiotic grip. Most studies support the role of neti in treating sinusitis, rhinosinusitis, allergic conditions and in improving vision. Jala neti has a significant role in improving the presence of mind and intelligence. We identified that it can be applied in mitigating post irradiation rhinosinusitis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, randomized control trials must be conducted to substantiate the therapeutic efficacy of this simple cost-effective, non-pharmacological mode of treatment

Influence of anode material on electrochemical oxidation forthe treatment of tannery wastewater
No full textThe paper is aimed at defining the best option of a combination of electrochemical and biological processes for tannery wastewater treatment. Kinetic data for the electrochemical process are derived from an extensive experimental study, while those relating to biological processes are taken from the authors previously published studies or from the literature. Four different options based on a combination of electrochemical oxidation and biological treatment are defined and compared with the traditional tannery wastewater treatment with respect to the total required volume, energy need and the quantity of generated sludge
Neti-Neti-Onomasiological Onerousness And E Pluribus Unum La Escallonia Adventitious Ad Infinitum Model
Full text linkIn knowledge, there are logical contradictions and a logical incompatibilities, divergential affirmation and dialectic transformation. Brahmn is not the universe, nor sky, nor senses, nor mind. By Brahman we understand the one agency that stimulates the human being in to action. Good. And Anti Brahman is a part of Brahman and this is the agency of stimulus response of individuals based on their Rajas and Tamás equilibrium or proportion of disequilibrium (Kind attention drawn to the author’s articles on the subject matter. And we have to recapitulate the bank example given wherein the conservativeness generalisationality do not abnegate or revoke applicability to the individual systems which are conservation or which might be unconservational,like in self transformational, system mutational, syllogistically disintegrational, configurationally changeable. Anti Brahman stimulates one to do bad things. All individual records of commission and omission of Gratification or deprivation to others are assumed to be recorded in Neuron DNA (in space). We will not repeat this explanation again and holds good for the entire monograph. Separate Papers are written (Free will and Destiny, Natures general Ledger, A Model for God etc.,) and bad. This depends on freewill and destiny. We have already defined freewill as the in discretionary usage of power be it financial embezzlement, pecuniary misappropriation or fiscal defalcation. The other person might have been desensitized for such actions and might have been taught by reference groups (See Merton) to take things in his “stride”. But our General Ledger of all actionable and actions accounts. The General Ledger is the General Theory Of all actions of all individual human beings. It is also assumed that the reactionary potentiality depends on the genes (See Neurobiology by John Smith). This is a very important aspect not to be overlooked. Because Schrodinger’s equation is applicable to general system of the Universe, it does not mean its inapplicability to individual systems and the conservativeness and /or non conservativeness notwithstanding. In consideration to the fact that we have already built a model encompassing Brahman-Anti Brahman, Rajas-Tamás, we shall not include this in the model. Instead we take “Neti Neti concept” by its representation in the Schrodinger’s form (See Penrose on Schrödinger’s cat) and stimulus-response as the further constituents to tie up with the cosmic thread. One sentence about association need be said. Einstein said that matter is the one that gives rise to space time world lines. In our case human beings with their pen chance, predilections, proclivities, and propensities “svabhava” are responsible for the world lines of space time. The characteristics we have already stated depend on Rajas-Tamás-Sattva combination of the individual (all the three qualities are in the individual and in disequilibrium state, albeit we are not sure about the conservativeness of the states holistically. This we have codified in the General Ledger which is the General Theory of actions in the Universe. So we have the structure of space and time is determined by “Svabhava”. Like they say: “That area is not OK”. This is true of all characteristics, inertia, static, dynamic (Rajas, Tamás, Sattva means those words). These are most salient and perennial concepts that are to be remembered in the read of monograph. This is ‘neti/ neti’ process, repeating which one becomes thoughtless. In jnana the entire world is illusory like a dream; only Brahmn is real- ‘Brahma satya jagat mithya.’ The world is neither unreal nor real. This means that reality is equivalent to unreality. Here let us go by the usual definition of “reality” and “unreality”. Unreality is pathological. Many philosophers like Constantine and Lester have said, it is schizophrenics who are suffering from the Truth. we shall marginalize the proposition in so fact as the study of monograph is concerned. This implies that Unreality is a part of reality. Further we assume that Objective reality and subjective experience are necessary to realize the Truth. Lest probably a courtesan would have become “enlightened” or a Professor had attained “Nirvikalpa Samadhi”. The world is mere projection of self. Jnana requires strong discriminating ability. Krishna says, “It is more difficult to realize the formless God than One with form”. We reiterate that formlessness is nothing but more than mere loss of style and substance and is well within space time. This is “subjective experience “most recruitment agency calls for. You can see without staring, and can hear without cupping your ears. Dealings with fellow people, bonhomie, and joie de vivre are the ones that could tackle a tricky situation involving a belligerent, cantankerous and recalcitrant person. Here the importance of zero is to be emphasized.” Experience “is nothing but the “experience” so assiduously and avidly asked by recruiter agencies while they recruit people. When they say that whether you know the proficiency in anagrammatism like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division And may be differentiation and integration, which a probationer does, but something more, a knack to deal with people, know them, adjustable temperament, which comes by subjective experience. Both “Objective Reality” and “Subjective Experience” are necessary for the determination of Truth. And Schrödinger and Wagner have said that Truth is always elusive. That we state in Model form. It is not “emptiness”, but “Nothing” which is zero. And this zero is the cancellation of two opposite terms or particle-antiparticle duality, and the zyphera that is written with so much of gusto and aplomb in every equation. An equation equivalent to zero means that all the constituents cancel out each other in some form. We shall for our purpose choose one permutation and combination. It is to be mentioned in this connection that waking state is one of the three states of dream state and dreamless state and space time is only projection on the screen of consciousness (which we have defined as collection of all knowledge –individuals-his peer group references, belief systems etc., including visual representations, with anagrammatic mind acting on its to fabricate concoct realistic, consistent, surrealistic, unreal dreams and actual “thinking”. Like a movie being watched. Mind doth act upon it and weaves a web like a spider. Lastly we state that “association’ is the part and parcel of space and time and once taught. The “association” fails to leave you. Even eminent scientists fall prey for this defending their theories till the end instead of applying their minds to the twists their own theories have taken. This statement is made in a dispassionate manner of witness consciousness and not participatory consciousness. When over thinking about association takes place in the spatio temporal actualization of events it becomes pathological. Be it love, murder, mayhem, we have various psychiatric cases. And we want to “renormalize them”. So there is reality, surrealism, unreality, inconsistencies, contradictions in the waking state, dream state-note you experience in dream state also- and dreamless state.
The finite-volume method in computational rheology
Full text linkThe finite volume method (FVM) is widely used in traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and many commercial CFD codes are based on this technique which is typically less demanding in computational resources than finite element methods (FEM). However, for historical reasons, a large number of Computational Rheology codes are based on FEM. There is no clear reason why the FVM should not be as successful as finite element based techniques in Computational Rheology and its applications, such as polymer processing or, more recently, microfluidic systems using complex fluids. This chapter describes the major advances on this topic since its inception in the early 1990’s, and is organized as follows. In the next section, a review of the major contributions to computational rheology using finite volume techniques is carried out, followed by a detailed explanation of the methodology developed by the authors. This section includes recent developments and methodologies related to the description of the viscoelastic constitutive equations used to alleviate the high-Weissenberg number problem, such as the log-conformation formulation and the recent kernel-conformation technique. At the end, results of numerical calculations are presented for the well-known benchmark flow in a 4:1 planar contraction to ascertain the quality of the predictions by this method
