This paper adopted a wavelet approach to investigate the financial contagion in the Eurozone debt market during various crisis-ridden periods in the zone. We used weekly 10-year bond yield data and showed that until the onset of the financial crisis of 2007/2008, bond yields were highly synchronised among all countries. However, the bond yields in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal became unsynchronised with core countries after 2008. Similarly, there was no synchronisation among the periphery countries during this period, except for Italy and Spain. We found evidence of contagion emanating from Ireland during the first part of the sovereign debt crisis until around 2010, and from Greece afterwards. We also established that contagion spread to Portugal, Greece and Ireland, and can be observed at high frequencies. However, Italy and Spain were not affected. At business cycle frequencies, we found that the Greek crisis propelled a flight-to-quality flow to Belgium, Finland, France and Germany., Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT)

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral relatar as experiências de ensinoaprendizagem desenvolvidas durante a Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES) no 1º, 2º e 3º Ciclos do Ensino Básico no ano letivo 2012/2014, no âmbito do Curso de Mestrado em Ensino da Educação Musical no Ensino Básico (MEEME), da Escola Superior de Educação (ESE) do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB). São relatadas experiências ensino-aprendizagem com base no enquadramento teórico devidamente sustentadas em literatura científico-pedagógica, de modo a consolidar as estratégias de ensino utilizadas da PES na Escola Augusto Moreno pertencente ao Agrupamento de Escolas Abade Baçal. Através da utilização de uma metodologia baseada no modelo de investigação-ação, procurei envolver todos os alunos nas atividades desenvolvidades no decorrer deste estágio. As diversas estratégias baseadas nos princípios da Orff-Schulwerk, pretendem evidenciar uma forma de trabalho na qual se utilizam elementos originais tomados como modelos que estimulam a criatividade aliados à música, ao movimento e palavra. Numa fase final, os resultados descritos parecem demonstrar um desenvolvimento motivacional dos alunos no que concerne à disciplina de Educação Musical. The present work has overall objective of reporting the teaching and learning experiences developed during Supervised Teaching Practice (PES) in the 1st, 2 nd and 3rd Cycles of Basic Education in the academic year of 2013/2014, under the Masters Program in Teaching of Music Education in Basic Education (MEEME), of Education College (ESE) of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). Learning- Teaching experiences are reported based on the theoretical framework, properly supported by scientific-pedagogical literature, in order to consolidate teaching strategies used in the PES classes at Augusto Moreno School wich belongs to the Abade Baçal Group of Schools. Though the use of a methodology based in action-research, I tried to involve all students in the developed activities during this pedagogical intervention. The various strategies based on the principles of Orff-Schulwerk, intend to highlight a form of promote creativity allied to music, movement and word. In this final stage, the described results demonstrate a motivational development of the students, regarding Music Education course.

We describe a simple numerical process for computing approximations to Faber polynomials for starlike domains. This process is based on using the Theodorsen integral equation method for computing the Laurent series coefficients of the associated exterior conformal mapping, and then determining the corresponding Faber polynomials by means of the well-known recurrence relation which is available for this purpose. © 1993 Oxford University Press. 13 2 181 193

An O(h6) method for the interpolation of harmonic functions in rectangular domains is described and analyzed, The method is based on an earlier cubic spline technique [N. Papamichael and J.R. Whiteman, BIT 14, 452–459 (1974)], and makes use of recent results concerning the a posteriori correction of interpolatory cubic splines. Copyright © 1991 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 7 1 43 59

This paper is concerned with the numerical treatment of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations. In order to solve the given equation we propose to use a Galerkin approach, but, in contrast to conventional finite element discretizations, we work with trial spaces that, not only exhibit the usual approximation and good localization properties, but, in addition, lead to expansions of any element in the underlying Hilbert spaces in terms in multiscale or wavelet bases with certain stability properties. Specifically, we select as trial spaces a nested sequence of spaces from an appropriate biorthogonal multiscale analysis. This gives rise to a nonlinear discretized system. To overcome the problems of nonlinearity, we make use of the machinery of interpolating wavelets to obtain knot oriented quadrature rules. Finally, Newton's method is applied to approximate the solution in the given ansatz space. The results of some numerical experiments with different biorthogonal systems, confirming the applicability of our scheme, are presented.
