Furthermore, it aimed to identify the conceptions of teachers in formation about Science and the Theory of Evolution as well as to characterize the scientific/specific knowledge of Evolution as one of the guidelines in the process of formation of a Biology teacher. Thus, the investigation took place where Biology teachers receive their initial formation, the University. The research is justified by the necessity of having, in fact: a consistent scientific formation in which the scientific knowledge can be the fundamental object of this formation; the epistemological formation can be established on the teacher practice and the possible obstacles in the learning process can be overcome. Methodologically, we are based on a qualitative approach concerning the descriptions and critical reflections derived from the collected data and analysis. Three classes were researched from the subject Evolutionary Biology which is offered on the fifth period (daytime) in the Biological Sciences (Licenciate) course from the Federal University of Goiás. The analyzed data were taken from the transcriptions of the audiovisual records and the researcher’s observations, who monitored all classes and record them in a field diary. The research showed the necessity of creating an specific subject about Science Epistemology as well as the importance of epistemological discussions for the initial scientific formation. Furthermore, the teacher posture was highlighted concerning the teacher trainer as an important mediator in the process of initial formation. The investigation also presented some components of the religious thought as epistemological obstacles in the teaching-learning process of the Theory of Evolution scientific contents. This work pointed out important questions in the process of initial formation of a Biology teacher such as: the inclusion of epistemological discussions in the scientific formation, the overcoming of epistemological obstacles in learning the scientific knowledge, among others. These questions may contribute to future pedagogical actions and correlated studies with the thematic approached. / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo central investigar, no processo de formação inicial do professor de Biologia, os obstáculos epistemológicos, originados em alguns componentes do conhecimento religioso, como: a Teleologia, o Dualismo e a Aceitação de forças sobrenaturais. Objetiva também identificar as concepções dos professores de Biologia em formação sobre a Ciência e a Teoria da Evolução, além de caracterizar o conhecimento científico/específico da Evolução como um dos eixos norteadores desse processo. Assim, a investigação situou-se no processo de formação científica, no qual o futuro professor de Biologia recebe sua formação inicial, a Academia. A pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de ter, de fato: uma formação científica consistente, em que o conhecimento cientifico seja objeto fundamental dessa formação; que a formação epistemológica se estabeleça na prática docente e que os possíveis obstáculos no processo de aprendizagem sejam superados. Metodologicamente, fundamentamo-nos em uma abordagem qualitativa referente às descrições e reflexões críticas provenientes dos dados obtidos e das análises. Pesquisou-se três aulas da disciplina de Biologia Evolutiva ministrada no quinto período (diurno) do curso de Ciências Biológicas-Licenciatura da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Os dados analisados foram extraídos das transcrições dos registros áudio-visuais, e das observações da pesquisadora, que acompanhou todas as aulas e as registrou em diário de campo. A pesquisa mostrou a necessidade da criação de uma disciplina específica sobre Epistemologia da Ciência, além de salientar a importância de discussões epistemológicas para a formação científica inicial. Destacou-se também a postura docente, no que aponta o professor formador como importante mediador no processo de formação inicial. A investigação apresentou também alguns componentes do pensamento religioso como obstáculos epistemológicos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos conteúdos científicos da Teoria da Evolução. Este trabalho apontou questões importantes no processo de formação inicial do professor de Biologia, como: a inclusão de discussões epistemológicas na formação científica, a superação de obstáculos epistemológicos na aprendizagem de conhecimentos científicos, entre outras. Questões estas que poderão contribuir para futuras ações pedagógicas e estudos correlacionados com a temática abordada.

The general objective of this study is to identify and analyze the factors involved in group learning process of the participants of the Mediating Team Learning course promoted at Senac São Paulo. A qualitative study interviewing 11 participants and four of their colleagues was conducted in order to achieve the bjective. It was identified that it was easier for the participants to listen and concerning the factors that influenced group learning, three kinds of factors were identified: personal, structural and interpersonal. In the work environment such factors can either enable or be an obstacle to learning and it was found that they occur simultaneously and are interrelated. / Apesar do aparente consenso de que a aprendizagem em grupo integra o processo de aprendizagem do indivíduo ao da organização (SENGE, 1990; KIM, 1993; ROUSSEAU; HOUSE, 1994; NONAKA; TAKEUCHI, 1997; EDMONDSON, 2002), entendese que a aprendizagem nos grupos permanece limitada. (EDMONDSON; 1999). O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral identificar e analisar os fatores envolvidos no processo de aprendizagem em grupo, dos participantes do curso Mediando a Aprendizagem nas Equipes, promovido no Senac São Paulo. Para isso, foi conduzido um estudo qualitativo por meio de entrevistas, com 11 participantes, além de entrevista com quatro colegas dos participantes. Identificou-se que os participantes tiveram mais facilidade para ouvir e, quanto aos fatores que influenciaram a aprendizagem nos grupos, foram identificados três tipos: pessoais, estruturais e interpessoais. No ambiente de trabalho, nota-se que esses fatores ocorrem, simultaneamente, estão relacionados entre si e podem tanto facilitar quanto ser um obstáculo à aprendizagem.

Desta forma apresenta-se: Uma proposta para o ensino de Química em busca da superação dos obstáculos epistemológicos que objetiva utilizar mapas conceituais e modelos, como estratégias de proposição de situações-problemas, visando superar os obstáculos epistemológicos verificados no ensino dos conceitos correlatos ao estudo das Ligações Químicas. O referencial teórico aporta-se na Epistemologia de Gaston Bachelard e suas proposições para o conceito de obstáculo epistemológico. A metodologia adotada aproxima-se da pesquisa-ação (André, 2008) com abordagem qualitativa e a coleta de dados se deu através da organização e desenvolvimento de uma Unidade Didática, no qual foram realizados 09 (nove) encontros. Estes ocorreram nos meses de agosto a outubro de 2013 com uma turma de primeiro ano- Ensino Médio Politécnico. A análise dos dados se deu de forma descritiva (Lüdke e André, 2012), para as atividades didáticas desenvolvidas durante a Unidade Didática e pela Análise Textual Discursiva (Moraes, 2003) para analise das impressões produzidas nos sujeitos investigados. Os resultados demonstram que o trabalho desenvolvido contribuiu para o crescimento do grupo investigado, estimulando o aprendizado e o interesse pela disciplina de Química, o que leva a indicar que a melhoria do ensino no âmbito escolar requer do professor ressignificar o conhecimento científico através de metodologias inovadoras, estimulando os alunos a participar, ativamente, na construção de sua aprendizagem. Como consequência tem-se a superação dos obstáculos epistemológicos e a efetivação da construção do espírito científico como nos ensina BACHELARD (1996). / This work is the result of an investigation into his own teaching practice in which he noted the need to develop methodologies that emphasize active student involvement, overcoming their passivity and arousing interest in the concepts taught in the classroom. Thus presents: A proposal for the teaching of chemistry in the effort to overcome the epistemological obstacles that aims to use conceptual maps and models, propose strategies for problem situations, aiming to overcome the epistemological obstacles checked in teaching concepts related to the study of Chemical Bonds. The theoretical framework brings in the Epistemology of Gaston Bachelard and his propositions to the concept of epistemological obstacle. The methodology adopted approaches of action research (Andre, 2008) with a qualitative approach and data collection occurred through the organization and development of didactic unit, in which nine (09) meetings were held. These occurred in the months from August to October 2013 with a class of first year-Polytechnic High School. The analysis of data was descriptively (Lüdke and Andre, 2012), for didactic activities during the Didactic Unit and the Textual Discourse Analysis (Moraes, 2003) to analyze the prints from the subjects investigated. The results demonstrate that the work contributed to the growth of the group investigated, stimulating learning and interest in the subject of chemistry, which leads to indicate that the improvement of teaching in schools requires the teacher to reframe scientific knowledge through innovative methodologies by encouraging students to participate actively in the construction of their learning. As a result one has to overcome the epistemological obstacles effecting the construction and the scientific spirit teaches us how Bachelard (1996).

Människans utsläpp av miljö och klimatpåverkande växthusgaser har ökat i snabb takt de senaste hundra åren. Fler varor produceras, konsumeras och transporteras över hela jorden för att uppfylla de krav människor har på sin levnadsstandard. Livsmedelsindustrins roll i utsläppen är betydande, speciellt köttproduktionen, som står för 18 procent av världens totala växthusgasutsläpp. Genom att minska den mängd kött som ingår i människors måltider och gå mot att äta mer växtbaserat, som inte innehåller köttprodukter, kan matens miljöpåverkan minska. Ett viktigt område är offentliga matserveringar, vad som serveras där har en inverkan på människors matvanor och deras syn på mat. Måltidskonsumenters köttrika matvanor och matserveringars begränsande utbud av växtbaserade måltider är några av de största hindren för att öka konsumtionen av växtbaserat kost och minska konsumtionen av animaliska produkter. Om matserveringar arbetar med att göra växtbaserat kost lockande och tillgänglig för konsumenter, kan deras påverkan på jordens klimat minska. / The human emission of greenhouse gases, which affect climate change, has increased rapidly over the past hundred years. More goods are produced, consumed and transported all over the world to meet the demands of people connected to their living standards. The food industry's role in emissions is significant, meat production accounts for about eighteen percent of the total global greenhouse gas emission. By reducing the amount of meat included in people's diet and meals and go toward eating more plant-based, its environmental impact reduces. An important area is public restaurants food servings, the food that are served there have an impact on people's eating habits and their attitudes toward food. The meat heavy eating habits of food consumers and the limiting access to plant-based meals are some of the main obstacles to the increase of plant-based foods and reducing consumption of animal products. If food services are working to make plant-based food attractive and accessible to consumers, their influence on the earth's climate reduces.

Bakgrund: Forskningen kring implementeringsprocesser inom folkhälsoområdet är fortfarande relativt begränsad. Implementering handlar om att få en ny metod eller ett nytt program att användas i ordinarie verksamhet som en ordinarie metod. Betydelsen av implementering är att förverkliga och genomföra, men också att det som görs får den verkan och den effekt som avses och önskas. För att slutresultatet av en ny metod ska bli bra är det av största vikt att implementeringen fungerar. Det spelar ingen roll hur väl fungerande metoden är, om den inte lyckas förankras i verksamheten. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka möjligheter och hinder vid implementering av ett program för socialt och emotionellt lärande, StegVis, bland barn i åldrarna fyra till sex år i förskolan/skolan. Metod: På uppdrag av folkhälsoteamet i norra Örebro län genomfördes en utvärdering av implementeringen av programmet i de fyra kommunerna Lindesberg, Nora, Hällefors och Ljusnarsberg. Undersökningen riktade sig till samtliga pedagoger i dessa fyra kommuner som fullföljt utbildningen i StegVis 1, sammantaget 182 stycken. Eftersom önskan var att nå ett större antal pedagoger valdes en kvantitativ metod med kvalitativa inslag. Datainsamling skedde genom postenkäter. Insamlad data analyserades med hjälp av statistikprogrammet SPSS och den kvalitativa analysmetoden meningskoncentrering. Resultat: Totalt var svarsfrekvensen 37% vilket innebar en för låg svarsfrekvens för generalisering av resultatet. 72% av respondenterna arbetade på en förskola/skola som vid svarstillfället använde sig av StegVis 1 i verksamheten. Sammantaget hade ungefär 90% av respondenterna arbetat på en förskola/skola som vid något tillfälle sedan fullföljd utbildning hade använt sig av StegVis 1 i verksamheten. Av de respondenter som deltagit i undersökningen var majoriteten nöjd med StegVis som program. De flesta angav att det praktiska införandet har fungerat bra och programföljsamheten var relativt hög med några få undantag. Faktorer som möjliggjort implementeringen av StegVis 1 är behov av socialt och emotionellt lärande, positiva attityder, stöd från ledning, synliga effekter av programmet, tillgång till lokaler, flexibilitet samt bestämda tider för utförande. Faktorer som visat sig hindra implementeringen av StegVis 1 är problem med gruppsammansättning, brist på stöd från kollegor, brist på tid till planering och utförande samt lokalbrist. Diskussion/slutsatser: Resultatet har kopplats till tidigare forskning och de tendenser som iakttagits stämmer väl överens med tidigare teorier och modeller. StegVis indikeras vara relevant som program då behovet av socialt och emotionellt lärande i förskolan/skolan verkar finnas, vilket i ett inledningsskede möjliggör implementeringsprocessen. Vidare tenderar andra underlättande implementeringsfaktorer vara olika viktiga beroende på var i implementeringsprocessen programmet befinner sig. Programföljsamheten är överlag god, men hade antagligen gynnats av tydligare mål och riktlinjer för programmet i de olika verksamheterna. En uppföljnings-, utbytesträff hade kunnat vara värdefull för att underlätta utvecklingen av goda färdigheter i programmet hos pedagogerna. Framtida forskning: Ett förslag för framtida forskning kan vara att lägga mer fokus på dem som av någon anledning slutar använda programmet och orsaker till detta. Denna studie kan även fungera som underlag för, samt underlätta framtida studier och då framförallt med avseende på metod och metoddiskussion som kan bidra till att uppnå bättre kontroll över undersökningen i liknande studier. / Background: The research of implementation processes in the public health area is still relatively limited. Implementation concerns the procedure of putting into action a new method or program into an organization’s internal, everyday operation. Implementation encompasses the realization of, and the carrying through of, for example a program, but an important aspect is also that the implementation has the desired effect. To make sure that the result of a method in practice will be positive, it is of greatest importance that the implementation works. It does not matter how well the method works, if it does not have the support of the organization. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine possibilities and obstacles of implementation of a program in social and emotional learning, Second Step, among 4-6 year olds in preschool/school. Method: On assignment from the public health team in the counties in northern Örebro, an evaluation of the implementation of the program in the four municipalities Lindesberg, Nora, Hällefors and Ljusnarsberg was performed. The sample consisted of all educationalists that had completed the Second Step 1 training, a total of 182 individuals. A quantitative approach was chosen, as the idea was to reach a greater number of educationalists. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed with the help of SPSS and a simple kind of content analysis. Result: The reply frequency was 37%, which is too low for a generalization of the result. 72% of the respondents worked at a preschool/school that at the time used Second Step 1 in the organization. All in all, about 90% of the respondents had worked at a preschool/school that had used Second Step 1 in the organization at some point. Most of the respondents were pleased with Second Step as a program. The majority of the respondents stated that the practical introduction of Second Step had functioned well and the fidelity was relatively high with a few exceptions. Factors that have made the implementation of Second Step possible is need for social and emotional learning, positive attitudes, leader support, visible effects of the program, access to premises, flexibility and settled times. Factors that have proven to be obstacles for the implementation of Second Step are problems with the group composition, lack of support from colleagues,lack of access to premises and lack of time to plan and perform. Discussion/conclusions: Theresult has been put in relation to earlier research and the discovered tendencies correspond well with earlier theories and models. Second Step indicates to be relevant as a program, though the need of social and emotional learning in preschool/school seems to exist, which at an early stage makes the implementation possible. Other facilitating implementation factors tend to vary in importance depending on where in the process the program is. Overall, the fidelity is satisfactory, but it would probably have been more beneficial with clearer goals and guidelines for the program in the organizations. An evaluating exchange meeting could have been valuable to facilitate the program skill development among the educationalists. Future research: One example for future studies can be to put more focus on those who stop using the program and reasons for this. This study may also be a basis for, and facilitate, future studies, especially considering the method and discussion of the method which can contribute to improve control over the survey in similar studies.

Handel via internet har vuxit i rekordfart vilket har lett till fler hemleveranser och därmed fler transporter. Samtidigt ökar behovet av att minska konsumtionens klimatpåverkan. Symboler har varit ett frekvent använt verktyg för att förmedla produkters miljöpåverkan. Hur konsumenter anser att transportens miljöpåverkan sak kommuniceras är ännu ett outforskat område. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur e-handelskonsumenter anser att kommunikation av miljövänligare transport bör utformas för att det miljövänligare alternativet ska framstå som mer attraktivt. Vidare vill vi undersöka om det finns skillnader och likheter i frågan mellan konsumenter med olika karaktärsdrag och i sådana fall vilka skillnader och likheter. Denna kvantitativa studie antar en deduktiv ansats där undersökningen utformas med tidigare forskning som bakgrund. En tvärsnittsdesign ligger till grund för det empiriska materialet och urvalet är e-handelskonsumenter av dagligvaror. Studiens resultat visar att enligt konsumenterna ska kommunikationen av miljövänligare transport bestå av formatet symbol och informationen ska ta hänsyn till att de motiveras mest av att göra gott för omvärlden och miljön, att ta eget ansvar samt att förstå konsekvenserna av sina val. Det största hindret enligt konsumenterna är pris. Vidare upptäcktes vissa samband mellan konsumenternas karaktärsdrag och vilken kommunikation de anser gör den miljövänligare transporten mer attraktiv. / Introduction Online shopping has grown rapidly which has led to an increased home delivery transportation. At the same time, the importance of decreasing the climate impact from consumption is a fact. Symbols have been a popular tool to communicate the environmental impact of products. The consumers’ opinions regarding how the communication of environmentally friendly transports should be made, is still an unexplored area. Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate how e-commerce consumers consider that communication of environmentally friendly transportation should be designed to make that option more attractive. Furthermore, we want to investigate whether there may be differences and similarities between consumers with different characteristics and, in such cases, which those are. Method This quantitative study has a deductive approach and the survey was designed upon a foundation of previous research. The empirical material consists of a survey where the selection was ecommerce consumers of groceries. Conclusion This study’s results show that, according to the consumers, communication of environmentally friendly transportation should consist of the format symbol and the information should consider that they are mostly motivated by doing good for their surrounding world, acting responsibly and understanding the consequences of their action. The largest obstacle for the consumers is the price. Furthermore, some relationships were identified between consumer characteristics and what type of communication they consider makes more environmentally friendly transport attractive.

Föreliggande studie ämnar undersöka utvecklingspotentialen för konferensanläggningar i Stockholm skärgård. Studiens syfte är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur konferensanläggningar i rurala miljöer upplever sin utvecklingspotential. För att öka förståelsen för konferensanläggningars utvecklingspotential kompletterades studien med offentliga aktörers upplevelser kring utveckling för mötesanläggningar i rurala miljöer. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med sju respondenter från konferensanläggningar samt två nyckelpersoner inom offentliga sektorn. Teorierna som används i studien grundar sig i tre olika teoriområden vilka är: utveckling av professionella möten, rural verksamhetsutveckling samt utvecklingshinder för små företag. I empiriavsnittet presenteras konferensanläggningarna var för sig i en djupgående löpande text. Nyckelpersonerna inom den offentliga sektorn presentera en redovisning av vad projektet Stockholm Archipelago innebär, samt hur de båda offentliga aktörerna ser på utvecklingen av konferensanläggningar i rurala områden. Därefter presenteras analysavsnittet där teori och empiri har sammankopplats samt analysen av sambandet dem emellan. Slutligen presenteras resultatet som uppkommit i undersökningen i slutsatsen. De mest framträdande aspekterna var att anläggningarna själva inte ansåg att det finns några stora utvecklingshinder samtidigt som författarna kunnat identifiera brister som kan anses vara negativa för konferensanläggningars utveckling i Stockholms skärgård. De identifierade bristerna var exempelvis bristande transportmöjligheter året om, bristande kännedom om skärgården och att konferensanläggningarna är isolerade från andra kompletterande aktörer. / Present study intends to investigate the potential of development for conference facilities in Stockholm archipelago. The study propose to create a deeper understanding for how the conference facilities in rural environment experiencing its potential of development. To increase the understanding for the conference facilities potential of development the study was completed with public actors experience about development for conference facility in rural areas. The study has a qualitative method there semi structured interviews have been done with seven respondents from the conference facilities and two key persons from public sector. The theories who are used in the study are based in three difference theory fields who are development of professional meetings, rural corporation development and obstacles for development in small business. In the empirical part the conference facilities are separately presented in a deeper current text and the key persons from the public sector are presented through a report of what the project Stockholm Archipelago is and also how the key persons from the public sector are looking at the development for the conference facilities in rural areas. Thereafter the analysis part will present the interconnection between theories and the empiric and the analysis of connection between them. The most prominent aspects were that the conference facilities themselves did not consider that there were any major development disabilities for them, but the authors have been able to identify some obstacles that could be negative for a development of conference facilities in the Stockholm archipelago. The identified obstacles were for example, lack of transport opportunities all year round, lack of knowledge about the archipelago and that conference facilities are isolated from other complementary companies.

Ce manuscrit porte sur le développement d’une méthode de calcul du bruit d’écoulement à faible nombre de Mach en conduite en présence d’obstacles. Elle consiste en une simulation numérique de l’écoulement dont les données sauvegardées servent dans un deuxième temps à l’estimation du rayonnement acoustique. Le calcul de mécanique des fluides est réalisé avec un modèle de turbulence LES incompressible. Un code a été développé pour le calcul acoustique qui comprend la transformée de Fourier des données de l’écoulement, le calcul par méthode intégrale et les post-traitements. L’originalité de la méthode réside dans le fait qu’elle nécessite comme informations sur l’écoulement uniquement des données surfaciques. Aucune donnée volumique n’a besoin d’être sauvegardée durant le calcul de mécanique des fluides. Dans une conduite obstruée par un obstacle, les principales sources de bruit se situent à proximité de l’obstacle et le rayonnement diffracté sur l’obstacle domine sur le rayonnement direct des sources. C’est la diffraction du rayonnement incident qui rend négligeable les données volumiques dans le calcul acoustique. Elle est étudiée et illustrée à travers le cas simplifié du rayonnement d’une source placée à proximité d’un obstacle en conduite. Des comparaisons calculs/essais favorables valident la méthode et le code de calcul développé. Plusieurs configurations sont étudiées : l’insertion dans un conduit rectangulaire droit d’un diaphragme, d’un agencement de deux diaphragmes et d’un volet. En présence d’un diaphragme, une théorie de la similitude est introduite ; en présence d’un double diaphragme, des phénomènes d’interaction entre les deux obstacles apparaissent et sont analysés ; et en présence d’un volet, des résonances particulières sont examinées. / This manuscript deals with the development of a calculation method of low Mach number flow noise in ducts in the presence of fixed obstacles. lt consists of a numerical simulation of the flow during which data are saved and used in a second time to estimate the acoustic radiation. The fluid calculation is performed with an incompressible LES turbulence model. A code has been developed for the acoustic computation which includes the Fourier transform of the flow data, the integral computation and the post-processing. The originality of the method lies in the fact that it requires as information on the flow only surface data. No volume term needs to be saved during the fluid calculation. ln a duct obstructed by an obstacle, the main sources of noise are located near the obstacle and the scattered field on the obstacle dominates on the direct radiation of the sources. lt is the diffraction of the incident radiation which makes the volume data negligible in the acoustic calculation. This is studied and illustrated through the simplified case of the radiation from a source located near a ducted obstacle. Favorable comparisons with measurements validate the method and the developed code. Several configurations are studied: the insertion into a straight rectangular duct of a diaphragm, an arrangement of two diaphragms and a flap. ln the presence of a diaphragm, a theory of similarity is introduced; in the presence of a double diaphragm, interaction phenomena between the two obstacles appear and are analyzed; and in the presence of a flap, particular resonances are examined.

This dissertation describes labour work mobility issues within the European Union. It focuses on obstacles that restrict the free movement of workers and how these obstacles can be eliminated by the European Union. The case study "Motivation of Czech workers to work abroad" is also included in this dissertation.
