Resumo: Esta pesquisa destaca aspectos da equidade que surgem diante das dificuldades encontradas nas aulas de Matemática. As vivências e oportunidades adquiridas pelo aluno de intercâmbio são ilimitadas. Assim, optamos por apresentar o estudo preliminar de uma pesquisa de verão, realizada na Michigan StateUniversity (MSU), no estado de Michigan, EUA, que consiste no desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta, Equity Quantified In Participation (EQUIP), capaz de quantificar a participação dos alunos nas aulas de Matemática.O tratamento metodológico adotado compreende uma tipologia de abordagem qualitativa e exploratória que contribuiu para o esclarecimento de questões ligadas a equidade nas aulas de Matemática, tendo por base a observação participante a partir de um intercâmbio internacional.Contudo, contribuiu para a elaboração de uma proposição de ações metodológicas através das dimensões de equidade nas aulas de Matemática, que tem o intuito de auxiliar nas pesquisas e práticas matemáticas.Palavras-chave: Acesso; Realização; Identidade; Poder. Proposition of methodological actions for inserting equity dimensions in MathematicsAbstract: This research highlights aspects of equity that arise in the face of difficulties encountered in Mathematics classes. The experiences and opportunities acquired by the exchange student are unlimited. Thus, we chose to present the preliminary study of a summer survey, conducted at Michigan State University (MSU), Michigan, USA, which consists of the development of a tool, Equity Quantified In Participation (EQUIP), able to quantify the participation in mathematics classes. The methodological approach adopted includes a typology of a qualitative and exploratory approach that contributed to the clarification of issues related to equity in Mathematics classes, based on participant observation from an international exchange.However, he contributed to the elaboration of a proposition of methodological actions through the dimensions of equity in Mathematics classes, which aims to assist in mathematical research and practice.Keywords: Access; Achievement; Identity; Power.

The University

The mission of the Institute for the Study of Youth Sports (ISYS) is to provide leadership, scholarship, and outreach that “transforms” the face of youth sports in ways that maximize the beneficial physical, psychological, and social effects of participation for children and youth while minimizing detrimental effects. Since its inception in 1978, ISYS has partnered with numerous organizations to promote healthy youth sports participation. In this article, the general steps ISYS takes to form and facilitate partnerships are addressed. Four long-term partnerships are also described. The services provided to these organizations are described and the advantages and challenges of working with partners, in general, are delineated. How these partnerships are used to facilitate the teaching, outreach-engagement, and scholarship components of the Michigan State University land grant mission are also described. The case of ISYS shows that conducting community outreach and engagement projects greatly enhance the scholarly mission of the university.

For the fifth year in a row, Michigan State University leads the nation in study abroad participation among public universities in the United States. During the 2007-08 academic year, the most recent year for which data are available, 2,969 MSU students studied abroad. This reflects a 6 percent increase from last year's data. They participated in more than 250 programs in 60 countries on all continents

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relations and processes by which creativity is assembled, and how this mode of creativity responds to tensions and difficulties in activities concerning “arts education” and “creativity” in a community arts organisation in Mexico City. It shows how ethnographic research can provide qualitative understanding about “creativity” on the ground, i.e. through people’s participation in ordinary activities and projects in arts organisations. Design/methodology/approach The methodological approach was ethnographic in data collection and analysis. Participant observation was conducted for 11 months (November 2011/October 2012), as well as archival research and photographs. Findings The findings of this research highlight how, in the face of personal difficulties and tensions people respond creatively through collaboration. The former refers to people’s difficulties to gain control over their lives, e.g., finding a stable job. The latter refers to people’s tensions to produce an artistic project, where they negotiate with institutional expectations about the project and their own experiences and reflections. Originality/value While there is an increasing interest of policy makers for fostering “arts education” and “creativity” in an instrumental way, this paper shows how creativity emerges through the intensity of their personal ideas, experiences and solidarity.

Bovine respiratory diseases cause serious economic loses and present diagnostic difficulties due to the variety of etiologic agents, predisposing conditions, parasites, viruses, bacteria and mycoplasma, and may be multiple or complicated. Several agents which have been isolated from the abnormal lungs are still the subject of controversy and uncertainty. These include adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, syncytial viruses, herpesviruses, picornaviruses, mycoplasma, chlamydiae and Haemophilus somnus.Previously, we have studied four typical cases of bovine pneumonia obtained from the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory to elucidate this complex syndrome by electron microscopy. More recently, additional cases examined reveal electron opaque immune deposits which were demonstrable on the alveolar capillary walls, laminae of alveolar capillaries, subenthothelium and interstitium in four out of 10 cases. In other tissue collected, unlike other previous studies, bacterial organisms have been found in association with acute suppurative bronchopneumonia.

Impact Problem

Abstract Despite widespread recognition that behavioral public policy (BPP) needs to move beyond nudging if the field is to achieve more significant impact, problem-solving approaches remain optimized to achieve tactical success and are evaluated by short-term metrics with the assumption of stable systems. As a result, current methodologies may contribute to the development of solutions that appear well formed but become ‘brittle’ in the face of more complex contexts if they fail to consider important contextual cues, broader system forces, and emergent conditions, which can take three distinct forms: contextual, systemic, and anticipatory brittleness. The Covid-19 pandemic and vaccination rollout present an opportunity to identify and correct interventional brittleness with a new methodological approach – strategic BPP (SBPP) – that can inform the creation of more resilient solutions by embracing more diverse forms of evidence and applied foresight, designing interventions within ecosystems, and iteratively developing solutions. To advance the case for adopting a SBPP and ‘roughly right’ modes of inquiry, we use the Covid-19 vaccination rollout to define a new methodological roadmap, while also acknowledging that taking a more strategic approach may challenge current BPP norms.
