The literature concerning what medical students learn from midwives during specialist obstetric rotations is scarce. In the UK, despite a long tradition of providing midwifery attachments for medical students, it is almost non-existent. Working with midwives is arguably the only opportunity medical students have to experience holistic or social models of maternity care, focusing on normality rather than on the medical concept of risk. This study sought to discover how medical students constructed their knowledge about childbirth during a six week specialist rotation in obstetrics in a Northern English teaching hospital (NETH), with particular emphasis on whether participants assimilated any concepts from midwifery knowledge (MK). A Delphi Study, done as the first phase of the research, focused on MK, utilizing an international sample of experienced midwives. Resulting themes were used to develop the data collection tool for the second phase of the research. The research employed a qualitative case study method with students from a single year cohort comprising the case. Data were collected using a tool consisting of three problem based learning (PBL) scenarios. These were presented to the students in consecutive interviews at the beginning, the middle and the end of their obstetric rotation. Following analysis, five main themes were identified which illuminated the medical students' construction of knowledge about maternity care. These were explored and discussed. The thesis concludes with recommendations for increasing opportunities for IPE in the medical and midwifery curricula.

Reports, studies and surveys show that the scenario needs to change and has scheduled several initiatives from both government as private institutions for the changes are positive and bring improvements to the current school. One of the questions that have intrigued researchers are about teaching methods. We all know that traditional methods are saturated and with the advent of new technologies that integrate studies, rapid change is necessary for professionals to monitor all instances in real time. One of the proposals is the problem-based learning, called PBL (Problem Based Learning). In this study, the focus of research is the effectiveness of the implementation of this method looks for the coordination of Institutions of Higher Education of São Paulo, a critical eye and people who are on the frontlines arguing for improvements in the preparation of future professionals in the accounting area / No mundo atual, a discussão sobre o ensino está ocorrendo em todas as esferas, desde os primeiros ensinamentos aos graduados. Reportagens, estudos e pesquisas mostram que o cenário precisa mudar e já ocorrem várias iniciativas tanto do governo, como das instituições particulares, para que as mudanças sejam positivas e tragam melhorias ao ensino atual. Uma das questões que intrigam os pesquisadores é a que se refere aos métodos de ensino. Todos sabem que os métodos tradicionais estão saturados e, com o advento de novas tecnologias que integram os estudos, se faz necessária uma mudança rápida para que os profissionais acompanhem todas as ocorrências em tempo real. Uma das propostas é o ensino baseado em problemas, chamado de PBL (Problem Based Learning). Neste estudo, o foco da pesquisa é a sugestão da efetividade da implantação deste método pelos olhares da coordenação das Instituições de Ensino Superior da Cidade de São Paulo, um olhar crítico de pessoas que estão na linha de frente, argumentando para melhorias no preparo dos futuros profissionais da área contábil

Rapporten beskriver en undersökning om de olika renoveringsåtgärder som typiskt behöver utföras för bostadshus byggda under miljonprogrammet. Studien utgår från ett flerbostadshus som byggdes under 1968-1969 och som ligger i Norrliden i kvarteret Graniten, Kalmar. Undersökningen fokuserar på energianvändning, energieffektivisering, tillgänglighet och kommunikation med hyresgäster under renoveringen. Dessa ämnen behandlas utifrån två perspektiv; dels genom beskrivning av det pågående projektet i bostadshusen i Graniten och dels genom teorier beskrivna i litteraturen.

Den 2 juli 2014 blev det enligt lag tillåtet för en- och tvåbostadshusägare att uppföra en bygglovsbefriad komplementbyggnad på max 25 kvadratmeter på den egna fastigheten. Rapporten undersöker vilket genomslag lagändringen har haft i Stor-Stockholm, Stor-Göteborg och Stor-Malmö. Undersökningen visar att lagändringen ännu inte har haft något stort genomslag. I rapporten undersöks även en utvald del av marknadsaktörers utbud av attefallshus avsett som komplementbostadshus.  Ett attefallshus utformas med miljövänligt hållbara material och inspireras av Vitruvius tre principer för god arkitektur. Huset konstrueras med avsikt att uppfylla kraven som ställs i PBL, PBF, BBR och EKS. Målet med de framtagna bygghandlingarna är att få startbesked från byggnadsnämnden i Växjö.

Cette thèse explore les ressources cognitives que mobilisent des élèves ingénieurs dans un APP (Apprentissage par problème) dans une tâche de conception d’un objet technique. La situation-problème à laquelle ces élèves sont confrontés est constituée par un système technique inédit de réfrigération sans apport extérieur d’énergie. Dans cet apprentissage, les élèves doivent concevoir l’objet technique et apprendre des concepts en thermodynamique. Deux groupes d’élèves sont comparés : le premier dispose d’un modèle analogique d’une situation connue pour aborder la situation nouvelle, le second ne dispose que du texte. Les questions de recherches : Que construisent ces élèves comme connaissances ?Qu’apportent ces deux types d’apprentissage (l’apprentissage par une situation connue et l’apprentissage par le texte) ? Quels sont les obstacles que rencontrent ces élèves ? Les hypothèses : un apprentissage par une situation connue conduit à la construction de connaissances opératives (des concepts outils). Un apprentissage par le texte conduit à la construction de connaissances décontextualisées (des concepts objets). Un apprentissage par les situations dans un dispositif didactique conduit ultérieurement à la construction de concepts catégoriels. Ces deux types d’apprentissage impliquent l’obstacle épistémologique dans la construction des concepts dans leurs deux fonctions : outil et objet. / This thesis investigates the cognitive resources that pupils engineers in a PBL (Problem based Learning) in a task of conception of a technical object mobilize. The situation-problem with which these pupils are confronted is constituted by an unpublished technical system of refrigeration without outside contribution of energy. In this learning, the pupils have to conceive the technical object and learn concepts in thermodynamics. Two groups of pupils are compared: the first one has an analogical model of a situation known to approach the new situation; the second has only the text. The questions of researches: what build these pupils as knowledge? What bring these two types of learning (the learning by a known situation and the learning by the text)? What are the obstacles which meet these pupils? The hypotheses: a learning by a known situation leads to the construction of operational knowledge (concepts tools). A learning by the text leads to the construction of knowledge out of context (concepts objects). A learning by the situations in a didactic device leads later to the construction of category-specific concepts. These two types of learning involve the epistemological obstacle in the construction of the concepts in them two functions: tool and object.

O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar as concepções de docentes-gestores, docentes-tutores e estudantes da 1ª série do Curso de Medicina sobre essa metodologia no currículo da FAMEMA e sua relação com a formação médica. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada. Três roteiros foram elaborados para cada um dos grupos de participantes. Os roteiros foram analisados por juízes e um estudo piloto foi realizado para adequação desses instrumentos. As entrevistas foram realizadas com dois gestores, doze docentes-tutores e doze estudantes da 1ª série do curso médico da FAMEMA em 2002. O método utilizado para a análise das entrevistas é o da análise de conteúdo temática. Após a elaboração das classes e subclasses temáticas, estas foram avaliadas por dois juízes e o índice de concordância com a pesquisadora foi 94,8% e 97,43%, respectivamente. Foram definidas duas temáticas: A ABP na FAMEMA e a Formação Médica e a ABP. Os resultados indicaram: 1) que, pelas concepções dos sujeitos sobre a ABP, esses a identificam como uma metodologia ativa de ensino-aprendizagem, utilizada em todo o currículo organizado de maneira interdisciplinar e não por disciplina, cujo objetivo é aprender a aprender; 2) que as aprendizagens de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes ocorrem por meio do estudo de problemas; 3) que a concepção de ensino-aprendizagem dos gestores, de alguns docentes-tutores e poucos estudantes é centrada no estudante e no aprender a aprender; entretanto, para alguns docentes-tutores e estudantes, a concepção é centrada no conteúdo; 4) que a concepção do processo saúde-doença está ampliada às dimensões biológica, psicológica... / The present study comprises a case study that deals with the versions about the implementation and development of problem based learning at FAMEMA. The research aim is to analyze the conceptions of the teaching management staff, tutors and students of the 1st year of the Medical Course about that methodology in the curriculum of FAMEMA and its relationship with the medical formation. The data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview. Three question guides were elaborated for each one of the participating groups. The question guides were analyzed by evaluators and a pilot study was carried out for the adequacy of these instruments. The interviews involved two professionals of the teaching management staff, twelve tutors and twelve students of the 1st year of the medical course of FAMEMA in 2002. The method applied for the analysis of the interviews is the one of the thematic content analysis. After the elaboration of the thematic classes and sub-classes, these were appreciated by two evaluators and the concordance rate with the researcher was 94.8% and 97.43%, respectively. Two thematics were defined: PBL at FAMEMA and the Medical Formation and the PBL. The results show: 1) that, by the subjects' conceptions about the PBL, these identify it as an active teaching-learning methodology used in the whole curriculum organized in a interdisciplinary way and not by discipline, whose goal is to learn how to learn; 2) that the knowledge learnings, skills and attitudes, occur by means of problem study; 3) that the conception of the teaching-management staff', of some tutors' and that of some students' teaching-learning, is centered on the student and also, on the learning how to learn; however, for some tutors and students, the conception is centered on the content; 4) that the health-disease process conception is enlarged for the biological...

The wind data obtained at 10m height, at three time observation (00, 12 and 18UTC) of 15 meteorological stations, well distributed in the State are utilized. The identification of the stations where the winds were stronger and with less spectrum of variation was made using a Weibull distribution to the monthly average values of velocity, calculated on the total period of data from each station (between 4 and 8 years) and for time. The similarity of velocities behavior between the stations with 8 years of data was obtained by applying the method K-means, non-hierarchical clustering technique, setting up 4 groups for homogeneous regions of pentad average velocities in the state, by hour of observation. Sensibility tests with two Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) parameterizations (Blackadar and MRF) of MM5 model were realized by using two nested grids with 35 sigma levels in vertical, centered in Rio Grande do Sul and with initial and contour data from NCEP (1º resolution in latitude and longitude). The validation of simulated versus observed velocities at 10m height was realized with the calculation of bias error, the mean square root of error and standard deviation of errors. The cities of São Luiz Gonzaga and Santa Vitória do Palmar stood out from the others because they had more often high values of k and c parameters. The homogeneous group, characterized by having the highest values of pentadal avegared velocities was constitued predominantly by the stations of Santa Vitória do Palmar (in the extreme south of the state) and Passo Fundo (located in the northern region). The highest velocities were observed in the month of November, in Santa Vitória do Palmar. The selected case study was the extratropical cyclone that struck the southern Rio Grande do Sul in the period from 9 to November 13, 2002. The errors between observed and simulated velocities in both experiments were relatively large. The comparison between results and observed data in some stations showed that Blackadar PBL parameterization was better than MRF parameterization. / Neste trabalho é mostrado o estudo sobre os ventos no Rio Grande do Sul, durante o período 2000-2007, para identificar onde e quando os ventos foram mais intensos no Estado. Foram utilizados dados de velocidades obtidos a 10m de altura, nos três horários de observação (00, 12 e 18UTC) de 15 estações meteorológicas, bem distribuídas no Estado. A identificação das estações onde os ventos foram mais fortes e com menor espectro de variação foi feita aplicando a distribuição Weibull aos valores médios mensais de velocidades, calculadas sobre o período total de dados de cada estação (entre 4 e 8 anos) e por horário. A similaridade de comportamento das velocidades entre as estações com 8 anos de dados, foi obtida pela aplicação do método K-means, definindo-se 4 grupos para regiões homogêneas de velocidades médias pentadais no Estado, por horário de observação.Testes de sensibilidade com duas parametrizações (Blackadar e MRF) de Camada Limite Planetária (CLP) do modelo MM5 foram realizados usando duas grades aninhadas com 35 níveis sigma na vertical, centradas no Rio Grande do Sul e com dados iniciais e de contorno do NCEP (resolução de 1º em latitude e longitude). A validação das velocidades simuladas versus observadas, a 10m de altura, foi realizada com o cálculo do erro de viés, da raiz do erro quadrático médio e do desvio padrão dos erros. As cidades de São Luiz Gonzaga e de Santa Vitória do Palmar se destacaram das demais por apresentarem mais frequentemente, os valores mais elevados dos parâmetros k e c, respectivamente. O grupo homogêneo, caracterizado por apresentar os maiores valores de velocidades médias pentadais foi constituído predominantemente pelas estações de Santa Vitória do Palmar (no extremo sul do Estado) e Passo Fundo (localizado na região norte). As velocidades mais elevadas foram observadas no mês de novembro, em Santa Vitória do Palmar. O caso de estudo selecionado foi o ciclone extratropical que atingiu o sul do Rio Grande do Sul no período de 9 a 13 de novembro de 2002. Os erros encontrados entre as velocidades observadas e simuladas nos dois experimentos foram relativamente grandes. A comparação entre os resultados e os dados observados em algumas estações mostrou que a parametrização de camada limite planetária Blackadar foi melhor que a parametrização MRF.

The multiple case study investigated levels and types of transfer observed in a K-8 STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) academy in a project-based learning (PBL) environment. The academy was constructed two years prior to the study and conducive to PBL instruction. The students and teachers were in the second year of using PBL in the subject of science at the time of the study. The grade levels observed were second, fourth, and sixth grade and each grade level had three PBL units examined from the beginning to the end of the unit. The nine case studies, from the three different grade levels, were observed to identify Haskell's levels and types of transfer as determined by project requirements, observation of students, completed projects, and student interviews. The findings from this study showed that while projects moved the students beyond knowledge acquisition to application of knowledge in completed projects such as books, films, dances, etc., higher levels of transfer and more types of transfer were not evident. Therefore, based on the results of this study, the evidence of lower levels of transfer suggests that the PBL units, though inventive and potentially valuable to student learning, were not designed for higher levels of transfer.
