<div>Resumo: O presente artigo tem por objetivo problematizar o ensino de História na Educação de Jovens e Adultos, através do paradigma epistemológico denominado cognição histórica situada. Este envolve a categoria de formação histórica e seus princípios cognitivos: experiência, interpretação e orientação. Para tanto, apresentamos um estudo de caso feito entre turmas do EJA do Colégio Pedro II, instituição federal de ensino localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro cujas experiências pedagógicas são referência para a Educação no Brasil desde 1837. Palavras-chave: Ensino de História; Ensino de Jovens e Adultos; Cognição histórica situada; Formação histórica. Abstract: This article aims to discuss the teaching of History for young people and adults focusing the epistemological paradigm named situated historical cognition. It involves the category of historical formation and its cognitive principles: experience, interpretation and orientation. To this end, we present a case study done among students of Youth and Adults classes in Colégio Pedro II, a federal school situated in Rio de Janeiro city, whose pedagogical experiences remain as a reference to the Education in Brazil since 1837.

The objective of this research is to develop a theoretical method capable of eliminating the large number of false alarms resulted of traffic stopping on the automatic incident detection system installed in urban tunnels with large traffic flow. This method took in consideration the concept of shocks wave and have with the purpose of predicting the moment that this wave will reach a certain point in the tunnel. After the development of the method, a case study was conducted in the tunnel Rebouças, in Rio de Janeiro city, where there is an automatic incident detection system that generates a large number of false alarms during rush hours. With the suggested methodology, it was observed that it is possible to lower the number of false alarms by predicting the shock waves that hit the tunnel galleries.

Governments have been encouraged the use of open government data (OGD) by society for diverse situations. This article aims to identify strategies to guarantee the management of OGD cycle of use and dissemination of open data. The methodology is based on a single case study of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and covers the period between 2013 to 2016. In addition to a literature review of OGD, Rio de Janeiro OGD portals were analyzed using the 15 Principles of Open Data and 5-Star Open Data. An analysis of OGD public policy was also conducted, including the legislation and the strategies of OGD usage promotion in Rio. The main results were the identification of four strategy categories that set the OGD public policy (hackathons; prizes and awards; partnerships; and, data journalism). The potential for stimulating the use of open data was analyzed, although its sustainability faces various challenges such as administrative discontinuity and the patterns of use by society.

Runoff Reduction

Increase in extreme rainfall and storm events due to climate change and decrease in water retention in soil due to urbanization has increased the risk of flooding in cities globally. Since majority of the cites are mostly developed, expanding the conventional urban drainage system to account for the excess runoff produced by the rainfall event has limited scope. The challenge is to develop sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) to reduce runoff and create a flood control system in major cities. One of the SUDS that are becoming popular is the use of nature-based solutions (NBSs). A set of conventional NBSs to mitigate flood risk include bioswales, bio-retention, tree pits, infiltration trenches. However, even though their performance in flood control is found to be effective, they require considerable land area for deployment, which might be difficult to obtain in cities. For this purpose, green roofs have becoming popular as an alternative NBS in flood control, as it does not require any additional land area for deployment. This study investigates the effectiveness of a green roof in reduction of runoff via real-world case study. A green roof deployed in the CHQ building located at the city centre in Dublin, Ireland has been considered for the study. The green roof has a total size of 70 sq. m. Performance of the green roof in runoff reduction was measured based on rainfall and water retention data collected at four modular units, each having 1 sq. meter area, located at the centre of the roof with an IoT weight scale. The data has been collected for 1 week at 3-minute interval, and the reduction in runoff with and without the presence of the green roof has been estimated. The performance of the green roofs in runoff reduction was found to vary between 20-40% depending on the intensity of storm events.
