In this article, two art teacher trainers explore the possibility of saddling critical pedagogy with queer theory in order to question the art curriculum's potential for critiquing personal relationships. As a preadolescent boy, one author initiated his own sex education curriculum with his middle school peers by creating "secret nude sketches" in order to prompt conversations about sex and sexuality. The other author considers his efforts to challenge the conventions of assessment and personal reflection by radically combining these activities into an alternative mid-term examination. By paralleling their teaching and learning experiences, the authors begin to grapple with multiple aspects of their identities within and outside of the curriculum. This article suggests that approaching curriculum as a set of actions built toward conversations of understanding will help art teachers queer spaces between themselves, the classroom, the students, and the world.

Can art make a difference? This is a call for a new sense of interconnectivity among visual art programs in and out of schools. This common ground will be found in the embodiment of performance, critical reflection, and social change within art learning. One goal of this article is to encourage educators to use the "verbs of art" for building curriculum investigations that integrate social change and community engagement. The cite/sight/site of our critique is centered on an after-school art program for refugee children. Two focal questions: Can performance help art educators become more-effective leaders in community development? Will the study of performance enhance our commitment to active inquiry and social learning? (Contains 5 figures and 3 endnotes.)

En el presente texto se problematiza sobre la noción de desarrollo sostenible como expresión (oficial) que revela la continuidad histórica de una forma de organización social y de un régimen de producción insostenibles, basados en la explotación de la naturaleza y el trabajo humano, así como en la adecuación de las instituciones sociales y de las expresiones culturales a las demandas del régimen de producción y la sociedad de mercado que materializan el poder de grupos y corporaciones. Se entiende como el resultado de un proceso histórico y una forma de civilización impuesta a los pueblos del mundo, vía la colonización evangelizadora, la dominación política y el exterminio cultural; un nuevo credo y evangelio que revestidos de racionalidad se impusieron con fuerza colonizadora a través de los discursos del progreso y desarrollo y se difundieron por el mundo para producir lo contrario: subdesarrollo. Esta revisión se orientó en el objetivo de rastrear en sus expresiones discursivas (léase oficiales) viejos preceptos que, asentados sobre novedosas adjetivaciones, mantienen intacto el algoritmo del paradigma hegemónico occidental eurocéntrico: progreso à evolución à crecimiento à desarrollo. Del análisis realizado, se desprende la insostenibilidad del desarrollo sostenible en su filiación de origen al crecimiento económico, al reconocer límites ecológicos al crecimiento material y a la naturaleza como fuente de recursos y vertedero de deshechos, al confrontar las dimensiones de la sostenibilidad ecológica y social como contradictorias, en tanto avances en la sostenibilidad ecológica acarrean afectaciones en la sostenibilidad social, en fin de cuentas, la insostenibilidad del desarrollo sostenible es la expresión de la imposibilidad física de la continuidad de la civilización del desarrollo (moderna) basada en el crecimiento económico y material y de sus formas de producción y reproducción de la vida social.

Dynamic light scattering can be used to measure the intensity autocorrelation function. The limiting initial slope (the first cumulant) is susceptible to variation due to hydrodynamic and intermolecular interactions. The first cumulant of the intermediate scattering function is calculated for several interaction potentials with hydrodynamic interaction in the Oseen approximation. Solutions of the Percus–Yevick equation provide the required radial distribution functions for the equations derived by Ackerson and Felderhof. Spherically symmetric particles are considered at volume fractions of 0.0262 to 0.10. Corrections to the first cumulant are found to be as large as 40%. The model potentials were chosen to probe the dependence of the hydrodynamic interaction effect on the details of the interaction potential. This study represents an effort to explore such effects on the measured first cumulant. Qualitative agreement is found for experimental results. Some qualitative features of the solute–solute interactions can be determined from comparisons of measured and calculated hydrodynamic effects of several model potentials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma reflexão acerca da abordagem da história e cultura afro-brasileiras na Base Nacional Comum Curricular do Ensino Médio à luz da Lei nº 10.639/03. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica calcada no exame de artigos acadêmicos, livros, documentos, leis e normas oficiais que incidem nas formulações de políticas, planos e sistemas educativos. Os estudos demonstraram que as abordagens referentes ao ensino da história e cultura afro-brasileira nas áreas de Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas e Linguagens e suas Tecnologias não contemplam os anseios da sociedade em relação à educação antirracista; problematizações acerca das questões estruturais e institucionais que são bases para uma cultura racista não estão presentes no documento; as questões raciais são abordadas de modo amplo e universal que privilegia o conhecimento da cultura ocidental eurocêntrica e desconsidera as especificidades de outras culturas.

Purpose – The puropose of this study is to analyze the functioning of the triple helix interaction in Minas Gerais, through the case study of the Minas Gerais State Research Support Foundation (Fapemig). Design/methodology/approach – The information was collected from the Activity Reports published by Fapemig. Quantitative methods were used for structural analysis and data tabulation of the researched and qualitative programs for a procedural and documentary analysis of projects promoted by Fapemig between the years 2009 and 2018. Findings – The Fapemig showed itself to be a fundamental agent for innovation and the development of interactions between the state, universities and companies in Minas Gerais, through the creation of programs, offered in public notices, financing them and creating a space of consensus among the agents. Originality/value – There is few research on triple helix interaction for the state of Minas Gerais; most research on this topic is concentrated in some regions of the country, and the present work contributes to fill this research gap, besides demonstrating, in a case study, applications of recent and still little-explored concepts of the literature on triple helix.

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito aborda la descripción de la gestión estratégica como un factor clave para la gestión organizacional. Metodológicamente es de tipo bibliográfica-documental con una ventana de observación de literatura de diez años (2011-2020) en bases de datos iberoamericanas como REDID, SCIELO, DOAJ, CLASE y REDALYC. Los planteamientos realizados llevan a la reflexión de que la planificación estratégica es una herramienta de gestión que permite a los gerentes reconocer las prioridades de la empresa y determinar las principales acciones necesarias para realizar la misión y los objetivos de la organización. Así, se aprecia que los componentes que constituyen la gestión estratégica son la estructura organizacional, la cultura de gestión, la implementación de la misión y visión, la implantación de la planificación estratégica, y la dirección basada en estrategias. En la actualidad, el dinamismo en el entorno empresarial hace de la gestión estratégica una herramienta primordial en la efectiva gestión de las organizaciones y ese dinamismo requiere del conocimiento y comprensión del entorno para establecer las barreras que la empresa enfrentaría y así determinar la misión y los objetivos de la organización que permitan implementar estrategias, para lo cual la planificación estratégica y la gestión estratégica son de gran valía.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to evaluate the occurrence of loss of sensitivity of the inferior alveolar nerve, and to monitor the remission of this change in patients with mandibular fractures subjected to surgical treatment. Methods: patients with mandibular fractures, surgically treated within one year, were prospectively evaluated. Data regarding etiology, fracture location, type and displacement, and surgical access, were obtained. The tactile and thermal tests were applied at eighteen points in the mental region, within a period of six months. Statistical tests were applied to compare the categories of variables and the period of observation (p ≤ 0.050). Results: during the study, 37 patients were included. There were 24 bilateral and 13 unilateral fractures. Sensory changes occurred in 56.8% of the patients in the preoperative period, in 83.8% of the patients, in the postoperative period, and 35.1% of the patients presented complete remission during the final period of the study. Conclusion: sensory changes occurred in about half of the patients, due to the fracture, increasing greatly in the postoperative period, with complete remission in about one third of the cases. The fracture type, degree of displacement and surgical access type influenced the occurrence of sensory alterations.
