No. of bitstreams: 1 Flávia Mariana da Silva Queiroz.pdf: 921682 bytes, checksum: a29adf6a1a838db2a97523a2cc94f28b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-06-20 / The present research-intervention had as an object an experience with Círculo de Cultura, having as subjects of research polyvalent and licensed teachers that work in the Education of Young and Adults (EJA) at the Escola de Prefeitura de Guarulhos "EPG Hamilton Félix de Souza" in the region metropolitan of São Paulo. The reflective meetings with the researcher, who was also a pedagogical coordinator in the modality under study, were recorded and later analyzed some reflections that allowed the demonstration of the potentiality of the Culture Circles encouraged by the researcher as research methodology in teacher training, a space of questions without answers with a perspective of action-reflection-action, raising the possibility of implementing the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) of the school studied and the Table of Knowledge, a curricular reference of the municipality. This work also demonstrated the importance of collaboration in the construction of groups and the teaching itself in its autonomy for the development of possible shared practices that walk to the student, from schooling in the EJA, transform their consciousness and life trajectory. This research demonstrated that the Círculo de Cultura methodology promotes participation and the exchange of experience, in an emancipatory reflection that increases the autonomy and collaboration, which reverberates in an educative act surpassing the naive conscience. / La presente investigación-intervención estuvo sujeta a una experiencia con un círculo de cultura, teniendo por temas de investigación polivalentes y profesores licenciados que actúan en la educación de jóvenes y adultos (eja) en la escuela de la Prefectura de Guarulhos "EPG Hamilton Félix De Souza "en el área metropolitana de Sao Paulo. Los encuentros reflexivos con el investigador, que también fue Coordinador pedagógico en la modalidad de estudio, fueron grabados y posteriormente analizaron algunas reflexiones que permitieron demostrar la potencialidad de los círculos culturales animados por el Investigadora como metodología de investigación en formación docente, espacio de preguntas sin respuestas definitivas, en una perspectiva de acción-reflexión-acción, planteando la posibilidad de efectuar el proyecto político pedagógico (PPP) de la escuela estudiada y el marco de Ya sabes, currículum referencial del municipio. Este trabajo también demostró la importancia de la colaboración en la construcción de grupos y de su propia enseñanza en su autonomía para el desarrollo de posibles prácticas compartidas que caminan a la educación, desde la escolarización del eja, para transformar Su conciencia y trayectoria de vida. Esta investigación demostró que la metodología del círculo cultural promueve la participación y el intercambio de experiencias, en una reflexión emancipadora que aumenta la autonomía y la colaboración, que resuena en un acto educativo superado por la conciencia ingenua. / A presente pesquisa-intervenção teve por objeto uma experiência com Círculo de Cultura, tendo por sujeitos de pesquisa professores polivalentes e licenciados que atuam na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) na Escola da Prefeitura de Guarulhos “EPG Hamilton Félix de Souza” na região metropolitana de São Paulo.

This thesis concentrates on physically based simulation of fluids followed by its photorealistic visualization. It describes one form of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics methods for viscoelastic fluid simulation and includes its extension for multiple interacting fluids. It also deals with SPH boundary problem and investigates its solution by fixed boundary particles. For visualization of fluids there is a method of Ray Tracing described in detail and it's extended with light absorption in transparent materials. In connection with this method there is also discussed a problem of infinite total reflections and some solution techniques are offered. To extract the surface of the fluid there is used a Marching cubes method and its discussed in terms of Ray Tracing.

Cette thèse aborde deux thématiques différentes. On s’intéresse d’abord au développement et à l’analyse de méthodes pour le sens électrique appliqué à la robotique. On considère en particulier la méthode des réflexions permettant, à l’image de la méthode de Schwarz, de résoudre des problèmes linéaires à partir de sous-problèmes plus simples. Ces deniers sont obtenus par décomposition des frontières du problème de départ. Nous en présentons des preuves de convergence et des applications. Dans le but d’implémenter un simulateur du problème direct d’électrolocation dans un robot autonome, on s’intéresse également à une méthode de bases réduites pour obtenir des algorithmes peu coûteux en temps et en place mémoire. La seconde thématique traite d’un problème inverse dans le domaine de la chimie quantique. Nous cherchons ici à déterminer les caractéristiques d’un système quantique. Celui-ci est éclairé par un champ laser connu et fixé. Dans ce cadre, les données du problème inverse sont les états avant et après éclairage. Un résultat d’existence locale est présenté, ainsi que des méthodes de résolution numériques. / This thesis tackle two different topics.We first design and analyze algorithms related to the electrical sense for applications in robotics. We consider in particular the method of reflections, which allows, like the Schwartz method, to solve linear problems using simpler sub-problems. These ones are obtained by decomposing the boundaries of the original problem. We give proofs of convergence and applications. In order to implement an electrolocation simulator of the direct problem in an autonomous robot, we build a reduced basis method devoted to electrolocation problems. In this way, we obtain algorithms which satisfy the constraints of limited memory and time resources. The second topic is an inverse problem in quantum chemistry. Here, we want to determine some features of a quantum system. To this aim, the system is ligthed by a known and fixed Laser field. In this framework, the data of the inverse problem are the states before and after the Laser lighting. A local existence result is given, together with numerical methods for the solving.

This text is about visibility and invisibility of work and labor through research from history and present time and through my own work, process and thinking. Through these topics I want to raise discussions and make comments in the field of craft and glass. To evoke our senses and feelings through video, sound and perception of the work and installations together with the properties of glass. To discuss that there are underlying layers of a work of glass that we see in a museum or gallery space. Why some information is visible, and some is lost by the presented state. Is the material and finished product that we see more important than the underlying layers and process? Can we change how we present and document our pieces with information better? Together with the labor of my interest, there is also about the loss of an industry and a personal loss of the time I had there coming to an end.

Text in Afrikaans / Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a life-threatening disease. When heart patients in the treatment of their disease, due to certain subjugating discourses practised by the biomedical model or biomedicine, are treated in a way that contributes to their anxiety and they feel themselves marginalised by society, then CAD becomes even more threatening. The narrative-pastoral approach of this study aims to treat heart patients in a way that has a calming effect on them that could assist them to deal with their heart disease more efficiently. This study shows how a heart patient's illness stories can be centralised by means of narrative therapy and how a pastoral and ethical attitude of love and respect can produce a climate that's conducive to better health and well-being. I indicate how my methodology of participatory action research succeeds in making the heart patients active participants to the research project. Their active participation indicates that meaning is not created on their behalf in therapy; rather, they are responsible for the process of richer construction of meaning. I describe how the participants socially co-constructed alternative and richer descriptions of their illness. Futhermore, I point out how their richer descriptions of illness contribute to perceptible and measurable results that are of value to the heart patients. / Koronere hartvatsiekte (KHS) is 'n lewensbedreigende siekte. Wanneer hartpasiente in die behandeling van hul siekte vanwee sekere onderdrukkende diskoerse van siekte vanuit die biomediese model of biomedisyne s6 hanteer word dat dit spanning op hul plaas en deur die samelewing gemarginaliseer word, word KHS des te meer gevaarlik. In hierdie studie gaan dit oor 'n narratief-pastorale benadering wat hartpasiente op 'n kalmerende manier hanteer sodat hulle kan kom tot 'n meer doeltreffende hantering van hul hartsiekte. Hierdie studie toon aan hoe hartpasiente se siekteverhale deur middel van narratiewe terapie gesentreer word en hoe 'n etiese en pastorale gesindheid van liefde en respek 'n klimaat skep wat bevorderlik is vir beter gesondheid en welwese. Ek dui aan hoe my metodologie van deelnemende aksienavorsing daarin geslaag het om die hartpasiente aktiewe deelnemers te maak aan die navorsingsprojek. Hul aktiewe deelname impliseer dat betekenis nie in terapie vir hulle geskep word nie, maar dat hulle self skeppend betrokke is in die proses van ryker betekeniskonstruering. Ek beskryf hoe die deelnemers altematiewe en ryker beskrywings van hul siekte sosiaal ko-konstrueer. Ek dui verder aan hoe hul ryker beskrywings van siekte bydra tot sigbare en meetbare resultate wat vir hartpasiente van waarde is. / Practical Theology / D. Th. (Praktiese Teologie)

This thesis offers an assessment design for collaborative learning, utilisation of blended learning support through current communication technologies and highlights the crucial role of the tutor. The thesis designed and tested a theoretical framework which encompassed an active learning environment and resulted in the development of the shamrock conceptual framework. To test the theoretical framework, clarify the role of the tutor and the impact on the learner experience two studies were undertaken using pedagogical models that combined the concepts of learner-centric, sociocultural and dialogic perspectives on collaborative learning and technology in meeting the needs of learners in the 21st Century. In the first study, the role of the tutor was found to be crucial in setting, implementing and guiding learners using the assessment design as part of a social constructivist pedagogical practice. The pedagogical approach adopted was to blend face-to-face and Wiki learning experiences and was found to promote learner ownership, engagement and the fostering of a learning community. The second study validated the first and provided additional asynchronous technology experiences in addition to the Wiki blend in the assessment design. Study 2 examined the role of the tutor and the learner whilst using current technologies comprising podcasts and video and a Wiki in the collaborative experience. Findings showed that the Wiki supported community and collaborative aspects of a sociocultural practice whilst learners were engaged in authentic learning activities and led to a well supported learning environment. The importance of technology design and use to accommodate collaborative and community aspects was found to be an essential component. It was found that technology is not simply an add-on but rather needs to be planned and considered purposefully by both tutors and learners when used in a blend to supplement learning on campus as part of an assessment design in higher education. This study has shown that, for this to happen, academics need to be provided with the appropriate support, knowledge and skills required in developing a blended learning experience using a Wiki supplemented by class contact on campus as part of an assessment design.

The renewal of interest in religious healing methods in the past few decades, in response to various perspectives of illnesses, is ‘blowing’ through the PCC-one of the reformed churches in Africa. There are two underlying assumptions in this project: the first is that sickness constitutes a major threat to good health and the second is that the ministry of healing in the PCC is not contextual in view of respecting and incorporating the cultural, social, religious beliefs and values of its people in the formation of meaningful healing ministry. The healing ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon is lacking in efficacy and essence because it does not make much meaning in the lives of the sick and their relatives. This project gives an overview of some of the causes of tensions that exist in the PCC concerning its ministry of healing. It critically analysis, interprets and discusses the empirical results of 26 (20 laity and six clergy) members of the Musang congregation alongside some theological reflections. The project explored and highlighted the importance of the traditional worldview regarding health, illness, healing and defines healing as the work of God and that it is imperative for the Church to focus on a more meaningful healing ministry that includes physical, spiritual, social and psychological aspects, thus healing needs to be holistic. Putting together the results of the literature review, the empirical research and the critical and theological reflections, the project suggests and affirms that there are theological, practical and socio-cultural reasons for the PCC to rethink, reformulate and reshape its healing ministry in the light of Jesus’ healing ministry. The project points out the theological, practical and cultural basis for a more meaningful ministry of healing within the PCC. These results reveal that the PCC has no choice but to embrace this emerging biblical healing ministry if it truly wants to remain faithful and in obedience to Jesus’ three but inseparable ministries of preaching, teaching and healing. Finally, the project proposes an integrated healing service as one of the ways towards a more practical and meaningful ministry of healing in the PCC at home and in the diaspora. Some objective comments and recommendations are also made. / Practical Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology)

Reality isn’t what it appears to be. Contexts are not always clear and visible. People don’t always say what they really mean. And they don’t always mean what they say. When life is your stage manager, anything can happen. I often say, life is hard, my head is harder. Making documentaries is not for the faint-hearted.This PhD project explores creative processes and parallel realities in documentary film, and discusses and conceptualizes the artistic practice of documentary filmmaking. The project consists in part of artistic works and essays that are critical reflections on the creative process and how that process can be conceptualized. The cinematic centerpiece of the thesis is entitled Images and the Worlds of Being (2011–2016). Previous subprojects are A Shift Between Worlds (2013–2015) and an essay book entitled In Real Life (or Elsewhere) (2013). Between 2013 and 2017, more essays were written, some of them translated to English. All the Swedish essays are available in PDF format. All of the works in the PhD project explore creative processes and parallel realities in two different ways: A Shift Between Worlds (2013–2015) explores identity and parallel realities in the gendered world. These works are based on two workshops led by Diane Torr, “Man for a Day” and “Woman for a Day.” They resulted in several component works, including two video essays, two audio works and two large-format photographic works, the latter in collaboration with photographer Johan Bergmark, as well as a short commentary film entitled Diane Speaks Out (2016). Images and the Worlds of Being (2011–2016) – a VR Classic Style film – explores what happens when documentary images are shown on four screens forming the walls of a room. This work also focuses on the view through the camera lens through which the filmmaker meets the world, in a hypnotic tapestry of parallel realities in a tenderly portrayed, runaway present. A sort of logical reasoning about the illogic of our era, in search of elusive reality (to paraphrase Jean Baudrillard) – the presence in the act of seeing. An experiment in the forms of visual knowledge, outside the traditional display windows. Shooting location: The World.
