Esta pesquisa trata da análise de paratextos de determinadas obras escritas em francês, com as respectivas traduções para o português, a saber: Traité de Mécanique Élémentaire e o Tratado Elementar de Mechânica, de Francoeur; Élémens de Géometrie e Elementos de Geometria de LaCroix, e Traité dOptique e Óptica de Lacaille. Representantes das chamadas matemáticas mistas (em oposição às puras), esses manuais, compêndios elementares e tratados foram utilizados pelos alunos da Academia Real Militar do Rio de Janeiro, no início do século XIX. O propósito da pesquisa é mostrar como o processo de tradução do corpus utilizado na Academia Real Militar, bem como o projeto político em que se insere, marcado pela patronagem, evidenciam-se no processo de adaptação nas edições das obras em português. Não foi feita aqui uma abordagem com base em teorias didático-pedagógicas, e sim de natureza historiográfica e epistemológica. Nossa metodologia elegeu particularmente os paratextos dessas obras. Para compreender a distinção entre matemáticas mistas e puras, recorremos largamente a dicionários da época, a textos programáticos e estatutários e à Enciclopédia Francesa. Esta pesquisa também procura mostrar a Academia Real Militar enquanto uma última expressão do antigo regime, a rede clientelar envolvida na sua criação e a agência dos tradutores das obras para o português. / This research deals with the analysis of paratexts of a few books originally written in French along with their translations into Portuguese, namely the Traité de Mécanique Élémentaire and the Tratado Elementar de Mechânica, by Francoeur; Élémens de Géometrie and Elementos de Geometria by LaCroix; and Traité dOptique and Óptica by Lacaille. Representing the so called mixed mathematics (in opposition to pure mathematics), these manuals, elementary compendia and treatises were employed by the students of the Royal Military Academy of Rio de Janeiro in the early 19th century. The aim of the work is to show how the process of translation of such corpus employed in the Royal Military Academy, as well as the political project in which it is inserted, present themselves in the adaptation process necessary for the editions in Portuguese. We do not rely in any didactic-pedagogical approaches, but on historiographical and epistemological analyses. Our particular methodological option was to focus on the paratexts of such books. In order to understand the distinction between pure and mixed mathematics, we largely employed contemporary dictionaries, statutes, programmatic texts and the French Encyclopedia. The research also tries to present the Royal Military Academy as a final expression of the Ancien Régime, the clientele networks involved in its creation and the agency of the translators of the books into Portuguese.

Este trabalho tem por fim construir uma história, fundamentalmente com base em fontes primárias, da formação dos engenheiros militares na primeira metade do século XVIII em Portugal e no Brasil, no que se refere principalmente aos conteúdos estudados, com destaque para a álgebra. O tema escolhido deriva do trabalho de iniciação científica que posteriormente teve continuidade na dissertação de mestrado intitulada: A Obra Lógica Racional, Geométrica e Analítica (1744) de Manoel de Azevedo Fortes (1660-1749): um estudo das possíveis contribuições para o desenvolvimento educacional luso-brasileiro, orientada pelo professor Sérgio Roberto Nobre e defendida em 2003, no Instituto de Geociências e Ciências Exatas, da UNESP, campus de Rio Claro. Para a presente investigação, foi fundamental a busca em arquivos, indícios e pormenores das fontes. Por isso, todo esse estudo tem como fundamento essa proximidade com as fontes, documentos manuscritos da administração pública da coroa portuguesa e textos caracterizados como notas de aula ou teóricos, ou seja, produção de alunos e professores, impressos ou manuscritos. O contato com as fontes permitiu contribuir para perspectivar o campo econômico, político e cultural do reino português, no tempo estabelecido, nomeadamente no reinado de D. João V. Nesse contexto, estudou-se a atividade profissional de engenheiro militar, as condições de acesso à profissão e o seu enquadramento institucional, as aspirações de ascensão social e as relações com os superiores hierárquicos. Pode-se entender melhor as circunstâncias da formação do engenheiro militar, estudando o quadro dos alunos que frequentaram a Academia Militar de Lisboa e dos professores dessa instituição. Assim, foi possível perspectivar como se teriam dado as Aulas de formação dos engenheiros militares nas capitanias brasileiras, identificando-se os professores e alunos da época. Por fim, apresentam-se alguns textos que serviram à formação dos engenheiros militares desse tempo, especialmente à formação matemática, procurando entender como foram produzidos, as circunstâncias dos seus usos e os conteúdos neles veiculados. / This paper studies the historical construction, based on primary sources, of military engineers background in the first half of XVIIIth century in Portugal and in Brazil, according to the studied contents, focusing on algebra. The chosen subject is based on a scientific work that became a dissertation named as: A Obra: Lógica, Racional, Geométrica e Analítica (1744) of Manoel Fortes de Azevedo (1660-1749): a study of possible contributions for the education development between Portugal and Brazil, advised by professor Sergio Roberto Nobre and presented in 2003, at the Geoscience and Exact Sciences Institut, of UNESP, in Rio Claro. The search in files and details of sources were essential for this research. Therefore, this study looked for those sources, manuscripts of the public administration from portuguese crown as well as notes of lesson or theoretical documents, which mean, the students and professors production, printed papers or manuscripts. The contact with the sources allowed predicting the economic, political and cultural fields from the portuguese kingdom, in that period, during D. João V reign. In this context, military engineer professional activity, conditions of access to the profession and their institutional adequation, social ascension aspiration and their relationship with hierarchic superiors were studied. It was possible to better understand the military engineer backgraund, studying the students and professors who made part of Lisbon Military Academy. So, it was possible to predict how they would have taught the Lessons for the military engineer background in the Brazilian captainships, in order to identify the professors as well as the students who attended the classes. Finally, some texts that were used to prepare the military engineers of that time are presented, mainly the mathematical background, looking for understanding how the circumstances of their uses and their contents were produced.

This dissertation explores the intellectual discourse on race in the early twentieth century, particularly from 1919 to 1958, examining how British and American eugenicists and Caribbean nationalists debated the limits of colonial politics in the British Caribbean using academic and scientific language. These discussions emerged in the aftermath of World War I, the economic crises that led to the Great Depression, the political and labor unrest in the British Caribbean, and consequences of the Second World War. The dissertation’s goal is to examine how residents of the British Caribbean understood, appropriated, and challenged some of the principles of eugenics, particularly those espousing ideas of white superiority. The dissertation has taken great consideration of both private and published sources from white and black intellectuals in the Anglophone Caribbean to document the dissemination of concepts of race, ethnicity, and identity in the region during the interwar period. Additionally, focusing on such critical areas as education and social policies, it explores whether eugenic ideas influenced the twentieth-century governance of British West Indian colonies.

<p>This thesis is treating how Swedish liberal adult education research (folkbildningsforskning) has emerged and consolidated. The concepts of doxa, consecration, capital and field of Pierre Bourdieu are used to reconstruct liberal adult education research as a social field. The empirical material consists of texts and documents, structured chronologically between the years of 1954-2007. Central questions are: In which way can liberal adult education research be reconstructed as a field? How does it emerge? Which are the central values (doxa) that hold the field together and going, and where are the boundaries of the field? Who are the central agents of the field? How do they achieve recognition, and on which grounds? Which are the arenas that work as concecrating instances? The study indicates that the area establishes common concepts and references. A gradual expansion occurs. This involves increased opportunities, but also involves competition. Four different phases can be reconstructed as central: the emergence (1954-1979), the expansion (1980-1989), the institutionalisation (1990-1999) and the consolidation (2000-2007). Research summaries as well as organizations of special interests are contributing to the glow of the area. A number of strong positions are established as are a number of pretenders. These relate, in different ways, to the area and to broader perspectives and settings. The area is successfully handling and employing different kinds of challenges and opportunities. This is considered a sign of relative strength of the reconstructed field of liberal adult education research.</p> / <p>Avhandlingen handlar om hur svensk forskning om folkbildning vuxit fram och konsoliderats. Med hjälp av Pierre Bourdieus begrepp doxa, konsekration, kapital och fält rekonstrueras folkbildningsforskning som ett fält. Det empiriska materialet består av texter och dokument. Detta struktureras längs en tidsaxel, mellan 1954-2007. Centrala frågor är: Hur kan folkbildningsforskningen som fält rekonstrueras? Hur sker dess framväxt? Vilka är de centrala värden (doxa) som håller samman och bär upp fältet och var går dess gränser? Vilka är agenterna på fältet? Hur når de erkännande och på vilka grunder sker det? Vilka är de arenor som fungerar som instanser för erkännande?Studien visar att området etablerar gemensamma begrepp och referenser. En successiv expansion sker. Detta innebär ökade möjligheter, men också större konkurrens. Fyra olika skeden kan rekonstrueras som centrala: framväxten(1954-1979), expansionen (1980-1989), institutionaliseringen (1990-1999) och konsolideringen(2000-2007). Kunskapsöversikter, liksom intresseorganisationer, bidrar till områdets formering. Ett antal starka positioner uppstår, liksom pretenderande grupper. Dessa knyter, på olika sätt, an till området, men också till bredare perspektiv och kontexter. Att området förmår hantera, och införliva, utmaningar av olika slag, tyder på en relativ styrka.</p>

本論文旨在論述中國大陸學術界在中共外交政策的決策過程中所扮演的角色，並聚焦在值得外界特別關注的個案─中國大陸的歐洲研究學界與中共的歐盟政策。在面對愈來愈複雜的外交關係環境下，無論是在正式或非正式的層面，有更多外圍組織或人員被納入中共的外交決策結構之中，其中最貼切的例子就是學術界。隨著中國大陸地區外交相關科系或研究機構的演變、多元性和優質化的發展，其對外交政策之決策過程與範圍的潛在影響力正在增長。學者與其相關的研究機構透過各種可能影響的途徑、層次和來源，來鞏固其研究的影響力。中國大陸歐洲研究的領域目前正蓬勃發展，有些傑出的專家經常被約見來提供建言或評論。除此之外，2003年中國政府公布了中共的歐盟政策官方文件，這是中共有史以來唯一宣布過的外交政策文件，其展現中歐關係的重要性。本研究除了將論文中所界定的學術影響力框架應用於該歐洲研究的個案之外，也提供學界對此一領域主要研究範圍和學術論述的一個初步調查，以及其對中共的歐盟政策決策上實務性的關聯。 / This thesis discusses the role of academia in foreign policy-decision making in the People’s Republic of China, considering in particular the case of European Studies academia and China’s European Union policy, which merits greater scrutiny by outside observers. Faced with ever more complex foreign relations, the structure of Chinese foreign policy making is incorporating a growing number of external actors at both formal and informal levels. Academic circles are a case in point; as foreign policy research institutes evolve, diversify and optimise, their potential influence within policy making processes and circles is expanding in scope, and academics and their respective institutes are able to consolidate the impact of their research through a range of pathways, levels, and sources of influence. The European Studies field in China is robust and certain noteworthy experts are regularly called upon for advice and comment. What’s more, China’s only ever foreign policy paper in 2003 dealt with European Union policy, demonstrating the significance of Sino-European relations. In addition to applying the framework of academic influence identified herein to the case of the European Studies field, this thesis also provides a preliminary investigation of some of the field’s key research issue areas and current academic discourse, as well as connections with China’s European Union policy decisions in practice.

This study explores the conditions in which women teaching and conducting research in the fields of computer science, computer engineering and information technology in six Romanian universities live and work. The research begins from women’s concerns and practices of everyday life, rather than those of institutions and disciplines. This exploratory work asked two fundamental questions of the women interviewed: what does it mean to be a woman academic in these high-tech disciplines, and what does it mean to be a second world academic. Employing a critical feminist ethnographic framework, the study explored the professional lives of seven women academics whose ranks varied from Lecturer to Professor through in-depth, face-to-face interviews. A number of documents were also reviewed in order to create a context for the major social and political changes in Eastern Europe – including its new connections to Europe – that had an impact on the professional journeys of women academics in Romania. Findings convey a multiplicity of conscious and unconscious inclusion and exclusionary practices, and ways in which gender, technology, higher education, neo-liberalism and globalisation are bound together. The findings reveal nuanced systemic gender exclusionary practices suggesting that the theoretical underpinnings and practice of gender equality employed in Romania and by Romanian higher education institutions needs much further study. Women academics in computing face a complex interplay of discouraging factors such as severe financial austerity and the masculine domination of the disciplines being most salient. The implication for educational change is the need to establish structures and mechanisms to foster honest debate around the dilemma: equality of opportunity, equality of outcome versus gender mainstreaming which has been the normative action in Eastern Europe for decades.

Otherwise, paper is a good tool to communicate our opinions and thinking. If paper archives can be appropriately kept and organized, we will find more historical treasures, passing down the experiences. For deeply understanding how the paper archives in the world war of conservation status. The research firstly collects both international and national literature, which is focus on this topic, and then analyzes, compiles, and generalizes it to a useful material for research. Then, it is adopted that“case study”method for research and “interview”will be set up as the tool for collecting the opinions. This research is done with hope to understand characteristical and conservation of these archives, to sum up the faced problems and to propose resolutions for archives of Repository agencies. The study made the following conclusion: (1)The qualities of the papers in Academia Historica are almost rough, but in Taiwan Historica are high. (2)Because of the bad environment in the earlier Academia Historica and Taiwan Historica, now there are some damages in these archives including pests, mold. (3)To restore the archive of damaged-papers, so far most organizations use full of the mounting papers. (4)About the qualities of the paper, archival mending uses basic, unity and more natural handmade materials. (5)Use the standard from The National Archives Administration for the prime simple; we can adjust it appropriately by space, environment, financial, and human resources. (6)Paper Archives should use acid-fee, non-mixed media folders, or keep it in the archival box. (7)Normally, archive of the office paper should put in Acid-free paper and bundle it, and we put it straightly one by one. The special papers, as Large-scale chart should put in a suitable file cabinet and keep it side up. (8)Select professional managers and maintainers. (9)Schedule survey the archived condition of the papers, and record it clearly. (10)Use wisdom, and according status of archives and resources to classify the archives levels. Finally provide seven suggestions to support above of stud: (1) Set up the standard of papers and materials for archive. (2) Appoint the specialized and professional managers. (3) Arrange the space.(4) Set up the archival buffer room.(5) Follow these five steps to check, “POINT, READ, SMELL, DETECT, RECORD”.(6) Regulate archive-repaired papers and materials.(7) Because of the limit of finance resource, we should classify the archives to restore it.

Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Text in Afrikaans / In die verhandeling word mentorskap as 'n begeleidingshandeling ondersoek. Die oorsprong van mentorskap word nagespeur, enkele deur tyd beproefde kenmerke van mentorskap word bespreek en heersende praktyke ter bevordering van mentorskap word met die van vervloe eras vergelyk. 'n Uiteenlopende verskeidenheid opvattinge oor mentorskap word aan die orde gestel: benewens die standpunte van eietydse ontwikkelingpsigoloe, beroepskundiges, onderwys- en opvoedkundiges word die klassieke opvatting van mentorskap (socs wat dit weergegee is in die Odusseia en die Les Adventures de Telemaque, die werke van onderskeidelik Homerus en Fenelon) ook ender die loep geplaas. In die laaste afdeling word 'n aantal gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings gemaak met betrekking tot die doelstellings, aard, kenmerke en waarde van mentorskap, faktore wat die eindresultate van mentorskap kan beinvloed en die bekwaamhede en persoonseienskappe van mentors. Die aanbevelings sluit riglyne vir die effektiewe hantering van problematiese aangeleenthede rondommentorskap, ender meer die verpragmatisering en formalisering daarvan, in. / In this dissertation mentoring as a form of guidance is researched. The origin of mentoring is investigated, a few characteristics of mentoring which have stood the test of time are discussed and prevailing practices promoting mentoring are compared with those of bygone eras. A diverse variety of approaches to mentoring are presented: in addition to the views of contemporary behavioural psychologists, vocationalists, educationists and teaching specialists, the classic interpretation of mentoring (as presented in the Odyssey and the Les Adventures de Telemaque (the works of Homer and Fenelon respectively) is also considered. In the last section a number of conclusions and recommendations are made regarding the aims, nature, characteristics and value of mentoring, factors affecting the outcome of mentoring and the skills and personal characteristics of mentors. The recommendations include guidelines for the effective handling of problematic issues regarding mentoring, such as the pragmatization and formalization thereof. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.

A dissertação busca demonstrar como o final do século XVIII português foi marcado por tentativas de estabelecimento de programas de reformas pautadas em estratégias reformistas, no sentido de salvar Portugal da difícil situação social, política econômica em que o mesmo se encontrava. Nesse sentido, destaca a administração de D. Rodrigo de Souza Coutinho, ministro da marinha e do ultramar e teórico da Ilustração luso-brasileira, que teve como proposta manter e explorar a América portuguesa, baseado no mercantilismo ilustrado. A dissertação destaca, ainda, o papel da Academia Real das Ciências de Lisboa, reduto da intelectualidade luso-brasileira, cujo auxílio permitiu que fosse colocada em prática uma exploração renovada e útil das riquezas do Brasil, calcada no ideal de reforma das Luzes. / The temporal marks of this dissertation concern the last decades of the eighteenth century in Portugal. Its object is to give evidence of the attempts for establishing reform programs based on reforming strategies, in order to free Portugal from some social, political and economical difficulties. This, the dissertation focuses on Dom Rodrigo de Souza Coutinhos administration as a navy and overseas minister, and also a member of Portuguese-Brazilian Illustration, Which intended to keep and explore Portuguese America in accordance with illustrated mercantilism. Besides, the dissertation points out the function of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, the house of Lusitanian and Brazilian intellectuality, which helped to put in practice a kind of renewed and profitable exploration of Brazilian natural sources, based on Illustration reform principles.

It´s an epidemiological, crossed and descriptive study. 255 elderly, both genres, goers from 17 AMIs participated. The tools used were: a diagnostic record, a semi structure interview about the reasons, its satisfaction and suggestions. The IPAQ was applied adapted for seniors to evaluate the NAF. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics was used, to the categorical variables, the Qui-Square Test and for the numerical variables the Kruskal-Wallis Test. For the variable associations and the NAF, the Logistic Regression was used. Most of the participants are women (62, 7%) age average 67,75(6,28), from which 47,2% consider their health good however 72,2% have some disease highlighting hypertension (47,5%). From the seniors 82,3% are happy with the services and 55,3% with the infrastructure. Half of them started the program to improve their health and 57,3% went on because they feel well. Around 60% suggested an extension on the opening hours, 27,1% suggested cleaning the park and 24,7% installing roofing. Most of them (84,7%) was categorized as active enough. There was no association among socio demographic data and NAF neither between NAF and that the health condition turns the physical activity (AF) practice difficult. There was no association between the senior s satisfaction and the services and the infrastructure with NAF. The same happened with the enrollment reasons and NAF. There was an association between the reason to stay in AMI due the health and NAF. The suggestions to improve the services were not linked to NAF. There was an association with NAF and suggested roofing . In the logistic regression crude analyses, it was observed that don t enroll due health reason and considering a bad health state enlarged the chances to be not enough active by the elderly. In the adjusted analyses income between 2 or 3 salaries and health status doesn t impair the AF practice are the factors that decrease the seniors chances to be not enough active. The AMI study revealed the public subscribed the novelty and improvement. The elderly health conditions and NAF can improve due these programs, since they offer appropriate infrastructure. The systematic revision shows studies related to public parks, environment perception and AF. However on ATIs, there are blanks in literature. This study is a first step, since ATIs grow and so do the seniors in them. It is suggested that the new studies evaluate the seniors characteristics, interests and NAF as well as the impact of these gyms and the public life quality. / Este estudo objetivou analisar a percepção dos idosos participantes da Academia da Melhor Idade (AMI) de Joinville, SC, quanto aos motivos de ingresso e permanência, nível de atividade física (NAF) e serviços prestados. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, transversal e descritivo. Participaram 255 idosos, ambos os sexos, frequentadores de 17 AMIs. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: ficha diagnóstica, entrevista semiestruturada sobre motivos; satisfação e sugestões. Aplicou-se o IPAQ, adaptado para idosos, para avaliar o NAF. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se estatística descritiva, para variáveis categóricas o Teste Qui-Quadrado e para variáveis numéricas o Teste Kruskal-Wallis. Para a associação das variáveis e o NAF utilizou-se Regressão logística. A maioria dos sujeitos é mulher (62,7%), média de idade 67,75(6,28) anos, 47,2% considera sua saúde boa, porém 72,2% possui alguma doença, destacando a hipertensão arterial (47,5%). Dos idosos, 82,3% estão satisfeitos com os serviços prestados e 55,3% com a infraestrutura. Metade ingressou para melhorar a saúde e 57,3% permanece por sentir-se bem. Cerca de 60% sugeriu ampliação do horário de atendimento, 27,1% sugeriu melhorar a limpeza da praça e 24,7% a instalação de coberturas. A maioria (84,7%) classificou-se como suficientemente ativa. Não houve associação entre dados sociodemográficos e NAF e entre a percepção de saúde e NAF. Observou-se associação entre dores lombares e NAF e entre NAF e estado de saúde dificultar a prática de atividade física (AF). Não houve associação entre a satisfação dos idosos com os serviços prestados e infraestrutura com o NAF. O mesmo ocorreu entre motivos de ingresso e NAF. Observou-se associação entre o motivo permanecer na AMI pela saúde e NAF. Sugestões para aperfeiçoar os serviços prestados não associaram-se ao NAF. Houve associação entre NAF e sugestão instalação de cobertura . Na análise bruta da regressão logística observou-se que não ingressar pelo motivado saúde e considerar o estado de saúde ruim aumentam as chances dos idosos serem insuficientemente ativos. Na análise ajustada, renda entre 2 e 3 salários mínimos e estado de saúde não dificultar a prática de AF são fatores que diminuem as chances dos idosos serem insuficientemente ativos. O estudo da AMI revelou que esse público aderiu à novidade e interessa-se pelo aperfeiçoamento. As condições de saúde e o NAF dos idosos podem melhorar através destes programas, desde que ofereçam infraestrutura e atendimento apropriados. Considera-se o presente estudo um passo inicial em pesquisas relacionadas às academias em espaços públicos para idosos, visto que as ATIs crescem de forma acelerada, assim como o ingresso dos idosos nestas. A revisão de literatura aponta estudos relacionados a parques públicos, percepção do ambiente e AF. Entretanto em relação às ATIs, existem lacunas na literatura. Sugere-se que novos estudos sejam desenvolvidos tanto para avaliar as características, interesses e NAF dos idosos, como verificar o impacto dessas academias na saúde e qualidade de vida desse público.
