This research analyzed the configuration of federal EPT network field in IF Goiano reality, taking into account the policy context of creation and constitution of the Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia through understanding the tensions and power struggles (material and symbolic)that occur on relationship between average level / technical and high level. The guiding questions were: How the subfield / upper level appreciation would have disqualified the average - technical level, expressing no more a whole which led the struggle for high school integrated into education and that resulted in the conquest of Decree 5.154 / 04? To what extent, disputes between middle - technical and higher levels and disagreements present in the institutional priorities are the privileging of the second and undervaluation of the first? Organizing elements of the professional education field have been raised within the institution toward the tension between the subfield mid-level / technical and subfield higher level, the habitus of the agents that make up the studied social field and the meanings attributed to the field by teachers and managers about implementation of the institutes, in relation to the proposals for both levels. In order to meet the proposed goals, this institution transformation by Law No. 11,892 / 2008 was taken as reference. This law is related to creation of federal institutions and the context of its enactment arising from the expansion of the EPT federal network. As theoretical and methodological basis, it was used the praxeological method of Pierre Bourdieu, in which the theoretical concepts symbolic power, social field, habitus and practice are relevant to understand the reality. In this direction, an exploratory survey of the social locus to be studied was done, by using references and study of legal requirements and documents that govern the institution. Empirical research was conducted through a survey of numerical data and interviews with social workers teachers and managers of selected campus, besides rector and pro-rectors. Data collection allowed you to identify that IF Goiano educational and scientific field has elements, principles, properties and habitus which point to the contradictions and present agreements on the relationship between education levels analyzed. Teachers and managers from campi Ceres and Rio Verde were interviewed, including 6 managers of the central management of the Institute, rector and pro-rectors, in addition to two general directors of campi. Among total of teachers from each campus, 121 come from Rio Verde and 93 come from Ceres. 10% each, were interviewed that is, twelve from Rio Verde and ten from Ceres.The results related to this study show that, although legislation into both levels have their rules and guidelines to follow and according to that, the allocation of resources that caters to each, there was a trend toward greater appreciation of the subfield / higher level characterized by the dispute among teachers in relation to a largest workload aimed at research activities, which somehow favors the work at this level, strengthening the practice in higher education and post graduation, parallel to the devaluation of the subfield / medium - technical level. This struggle is part of the representation of teachers and managers, demonstrated in symbolic power that is present in different habitus and practices which demonstrate that the subfield / higher level gives more status and prestige both the teachers and the students. It also highlights the sense present among field agents, which is the vertical integration as the way to the articulation among education levels toward the reduction of tensions among them. / Este estudo teve o propósito de compreender o processo em curso de transformação do campo da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT), a partir da experiência do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Goiano, na expressão da realidade dos campi Ceres e Rio Verde. Neste trabalho foi analisada a configuração do campo da Rede Federal de EPT na realidade do IF Goiano, no contexto da política de criação e constituição dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia por meio da compreensão das tensões e disputas de poder (material e simbólico) existentes na relação entre os níveis médio/técnico e superior. As perguntas orientadoras foram: Como a valorização do subcampo/nível superior teria chegado ao ponto de desqualificar o nível médio/técnico, passando a expressar não mais uma totalidade que levou à luta pelo ensino médio integrado à educação profissional e que resultou na conquista do Decreto 5.154/04? Até que ponto as disputas entre os níveis médio/técnico e superior e os desacordos presentes nas prioridades institucionais passam pelo privilegiamento do segundo e secundarização do primeiro?Foram levantados os elementos organizadores do campo da educação profissional dentro da instituição, na direção da tensão entre o subcampo nível médio/técnico e o subcampo nível superior, os habitus dos agentes que conformam o campo social estudado e os sentidos atribuídos ao campo pelos professores e gestores acerca da implantação dos institutos, com relação às propostas para os dois níveis. Para atender aos objetivos propostos, tomou-se como referência a transformação dessa instituição por meio da Lei nº 11.892/2008, de criação dos institutos federais e o contexto de sua promulgação advindo da expansão da Rede Federal de EPT. Como fundamentação teórico-metodológica, buscou-se o método praxiológico de Pierre Bourdieu, no qual os conceitos teóricos poder simbólico, campo social, habitus e prática são centrais para a compreensão da realidade. Nessa direção, foi feito um levantamento exploratório do lócus social a ser estudado, por meio de referências bibliográficas e do estudo das prescrições legais e dos documentos que regem a instituição. A investigação empírica foi realizada pelo levantamento de dados numéricos e de entrevistas com os agentes sociais professores e gestores dos campi selecionados, além do reitor e pró-reitores. A coleta de dados permitiu identificar que o campo educacional e científico do IF Goiano apresenta elementos, princípios, propriedades e habitus que apontam para as contradições e acordos presentes na relação entre os níveis de ensino analisados. Os agentes entrevistados foram professores e gestores dos campi Ceres e Rio Verde, sendo 6 gestores da gestão central do Instituto, reitor e pró-reitores, além dos 2 diretores-gerais dos campi. Do total de professores de cada campus, 121 de Rio Verde e 93 de Ceres, foram entrevistados 10% de cada um, ou seja, 12 de Rio Verde e 10 de Ceres. Os resultados encontrados nesta pesquisa apontam que, apesar de na legislação ambos os níveis terem suas normas e diretrizes a serem seguidas e, de acordo com isso, a alocação de recursos que atende a cada um, há uma tendência de maior valorização do subcampo/nível superior, caracterizada pela disputa entre os agentes-professores em relação à carga horária maior destinada às atividades de pesquisa, o que de certa forma favorece o trabalho neste nível, fortalecendo a prática no ensino superior e na pós-graduação, paralelamente à desvalorização do subcampo/nível médio-técnico. Essa luta faz parte da representação dos professores e gestores, expressa no poder simbólico presente nos diferentes habitus e práticas que demonstram que o subcampo/nível superior confere mais status e prestígio, tanto aos docentes quanto aos alunos. Evidencia-se também o sentido presente entre os agentes do campo, que é a verticalização como caminho para a articulação entre os níveis de ensino, na direção da diminuição das tensões entre eles.

The state of Goiás benefits from public instruments and consolidates its socioeconomic dynamics in grain production and more recently in the meat complex. Intra and extrassetorials relations are outlined according to the implementation of the soy complex, which boosted in recent decades, regional agroindustrialization. In this setting, the action of the Federal Government subsidies and tax incentives from yhe state of Goiás allies o social, economic and climate conditions, imposed formation of a new economic field: the sugaralcohol. The sugarcane expansion in Southwest Goiás, notably, from 2005, triggers a processo of dispute for land use between social agencies involved in the field of power, with developments in the socioeconomic and environmental dynamics. Thus, the inclusion in grain production, promotes the territorial conflict between the two production segments: grain and sugarcane. Such situation favors the formation of conflicting arenas in which social agents use available weapons to them (material power and symbolic), to appropriate or dominate the productive space. In this context, it was analyzed the relationships/interactions among social agencies involved in the field of power, from the theoretical and methodological framework of field theory and its developments in the socioeconomic dynamics. In the environmental context, the research includes an analysis of the degradation of the physical structure of soils cultivated with sugarcane in the Southwest of Goiás. Therefore, prioritizes the qualitative approach, through the articulation of various research techniques in the collection of primary and secondary data, especially the bibliographical research, field and laboratory. It appears that the strategies used by social agents are able to impose a new conformation of the field of power, in which the industrial sector is configured as dominant player in the relations of power and domination against the resources available to it. Finally, there is the intensive and continuous use of soils cultivated with sugarcane, associated with inadequate management practices contributed to the change of soil attributes, showing a strong tendency to structural degradation and consequently environmental. / As ações do Governo Federal, consubstanciadas em políticas desenvolvimentistas, a partir da década de 1970, impulsionaram a modernização e industrialização de regiões consideradas marginalizadas ao eixo de desenvolvimento do país. O estado de Goiás beneficia-se dos instrumentos públicos e consolida sua dinâmica socioeconômica na produção de grãos e, mais recentemente, no complexo carnes. As relações intra e extrassetoriais são delineadas em função da implantação do complexo soja, que impulsionou, nas últimas décadas, a agroindustrialização regional. Nesse cenário, as ações do Governo Federal, os subsídios e incentivos fiscais do estado de Goiás aliados às condições sociais, econômicas e edafoclimáticas, impuseram a conformação de um novo campo econômico: o sucroalcooleiro. A expansão sucroalcooleira no Sudoeste de Goiás, notadamente, a partir do ano de 2005, desencadeia um processo de disputa pelo uso do solo entre os agentes sociais que participam do campo de poder, com desdobramentos na dinâmica socioeconômica e ambiental. Desse modo, a inserção de uma nova cultura num espaço com estrutura socioeconômica consolidada na produção de grãos, promove o embate territorial entre os dois segmentos produtivos: grãos e cana-de-açúcar. Tal conjuntura favorece a formação de arenas conflituosas, em que os agentes sociais utilizam-se das armas de que dispõem (poder material e simbólico), para apropriarem-se ou dominarem o espaço produtivo. Nesse contexto, analisaram-se as relações/interações entre os agentes sociais que participam do campo de poder, a partir do referencial teórico e metodológico da teoria dos campos e seus desdobramentos na dinâmica socioeconômica. No contexto ambiental, a pesquisa contempla uma análise da degradação da estrutura física de solos cultivados com cana-de-açúcar no Sudoeste de Goiás. Para tanto, prioriza-se a abordagem qualitativa, por meio da articulação de várias técnicas de pesquisa na coleta dos dados primários e secundários, especialmente, a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, de campo e laboratorial. Constata-se que as estratégias utilizadas pelos agentes sociais são capazes de impor uma nova conformação do campo de poder, em que o segmento industrial configura-se como agente dominante nas relações de poder e dominação em função dos recursos de que dispõe. Por fim, verifica-se que o uso intensivo e contínuo de solos cultivados com cana-de-açúcar, associados às práticas de manejo inadequadas, contribuíram para a alteração dos atributos dos solos, evidenciando uma forte tendência à degradação estrutural e, consequentemente, ambiental.

Pas de résumé en français / Malaria is a devastating global health problem that affected 219 million people and caused 660,000 deaths in 2010. Inaccurate estimation of the level of infection may have adverse clinical and therapeutic implications for patients, and for epidemiological endpoint measurements. The level of infection, expressed as the parasite density (PD), is classically defined as the number of asexual parasites relative to a microliter of blood. Microscopy of Giemsa-stained thick blood smears (TBSs) is the gold standard for parasite enumeration. Parasites are counted in a predetermined number of high-power fields (HPFs) or against a fixed number of leukocytes. PD estimation methods usually involve threshold values; either the number of leukocytes counted or the number of HPFs read. Most of these methods assume that (1) the distribution of the thickness of the TBS, and hence the distribution of parasites and leukocytes within the TBS, is homogeneous; and that (2) parasites and leukocytes are evenly distributed in TBSs, and thus can be modeled through a Poisson-distribution. The violation of these assumptions commonly results in overdispersion. Firstly, we studied the statistical properties (mean error, coefficient of variation, false negative rates) of PD estimators of commonly used threshold-based counting techniques and assessed the influence of the thresholds on the cost-effectiveness of these methods. Secondly, we constituted and published the first dataset on parasite and leukocyte counts per HPF. Two sources of overdispersion in data were investigated: latent heterogeneity and spatial dependence. We accounted for unobserved heterogeneity in data by considering more flexible models that allow for overdispersion. Of particular interest were the negative binomial model (NB) and mixture models. The dependent structure in data was modeled with hidden Markov models (HMMs). We found evidence that assumptions (1) and (2) are inconsistent with parasite and leukocyte distributions. The NB-HMM is the closest model to the unknown distribution that generates the data. Finally, we devised a reduced reading procedure of the PD that aims to a better operational optimization and a practical assessing of the heterogeneity in the distribution of parasites and leukocytes in TBSs. A patent application process has been launched and a prototype development of the counter is in process.

This thesis analysis in social practise the Language Management Theory - it deals with pedagogical activity of Czech language teachers at secondary schools, based on corrections of writen language tests. The goal of this paper was to find out whether the norm of czech standard language which is contained in codices correspond with the norm that is presented by teachers. This thesis uses modern metdological approaches from the sociolinguistic sphere, especially the method of so called 'Follow-Up Interview'. It also uses the concept of the Social Power Field by Ulrich Ammon and the Language Management Theory by J. V. Neustupný as general methodological basis. As the source of information served authentic tests which has been filled by fifty students of a secondary school a and then corrected by eight czech language teachers. Other sources were Follow-Up Interviews with the teachers and questionnaires. On the basis of these sources the Language Management Theory was researched and also the idea of the teachers about the norm of standard language. This idea was compared to the opinions of other three instances of the Social Power Field. In cases there was something unclear the information were completed from the Follow-Up Interviews. The research has proved that in the most cases the norm presented by teachers...
