RESUMO: Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as experiências de alunos de pós-graduação (professores em formação continuada) com atividades desenvolvidas por meio da ferramenta WebQuest, no intuito de observar indícios de autonomia por parte dos aprendizes pós-graduandos. Este estudo busca, também, observar as eventuais mudanças nas percepções dos alunos quanto ao seu papel de professor de línguas. O enfoque teórico que norteia esta pesquisa abarca as noções do construto autonomia, tanto na perspectiva do aprendiz quanto do professor (BENSON, 1997; 2008; DICKINSON, 1994; MOURA FILHO, 2009; PAIVA, 2005), bem como da WebQuest enquanto um recurso eficiente na aprendizagem (CHRISTIE, 2007; DIAS, 2010; MARCH, 2004). Esta investigação se configura como um estudo de caso. Para a geração dos dados, são utilizadas as respostas de nove participantes a questionários elaborados em um ambiente virtual criado no WIGGIO, bem como a observação da realização das atividades. Os resultados mostram que as atividades propostas por meio da ferramenta WebQuest favorecem a autonomia dos aprendizes pós-graduandos no que tange à construção de conhecimento e, por conseguinte, a mudança significativa de posturas em relação à aprendizagem. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: aprendizagem autônoma; WebQuest; ensino e aprendizagem de línguas.   ABSTRACT: This paper aims at investigating experiences from students (postgraduate teaching apprentices) with activities developed through the WebQuest tool in order to observe traces of autonomy by the postgraduate students. This research also sought to scrutinize possible changes in students' perceptions regarding their role as a language teacher. The theoretical approach that guided this investigation encompassed the notions of autonomy, both from the learner’s and the teacher´s perspectives (BENSON, 1997; 2008; DICKINSON, 1994; MOURA FILHO, 2009; PAIVA, 2005), as well as the use of WebQuest as an efficient tool for learning (CHRISTIE, 2007; DIAS, 2010; MARCH, 2004). In this case study, data were generated by the observation of the activities' accomplishment and the responses of nine of the participants to a questionnaire designed in the virtual environment. The results showed that the activities proposed through the WebQuest tool provided the postgraduate students with autonomy in the knowledge construction and, therefore, it was possible to notice significant changes in their attitudes in relation to learning.

The healthcare reality is composed of  biomedical,  naturalistic, and  personalistic systems. Although the three healthcare systems go separately, to some extent they are overlapped. This study aims to explore alternative healing practices in Indonesia based on the personalistic system. The method used is a case study. Data was collected in several big cities (Bandung, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Palembang, Batam and Makassar) in Indonesia through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with stakeholders of healthcare programs on media, interviews with physicians, alternative therapists and patients, observation of alternative therapies, and media content analysis. The results indicate that the healthcare practices based on the personalistic system is widespread throughout Indonesia, including religious treatment (often called ruqyah) involving religious chants and prayers. With some using herbal medicine, a lot of alternative therapies based on the personalistic system have been promoted through word of mouth (interpersonal communication) by common people as patients as well as through the electronic media (especially television), and print media (especially newspapers) in many areas in the country.

The introduction of Industry 4.0 is expected to revolutionize current maintenance practices by reaching new levels of predictive (detection, diagnosis, and prognosis processes) and prescriptive maintenance analytics. In general, the new maintenance paradigms (predictive and prescriptive) are often difficult to justify because of their multiple inherent trade-offs and hidden systems causalities. The prediction models, in the literature, can be considered as a “black box” that is missing the links between input data, analysis, and final predictions, which makes the industrial adaptability to such models almost impossible. It is also missing enable modeling deterioration based on loading, or considering technical specifications related to detection, diagnosis, and prognosis, which are all decisive for intelligent maintenance purposes. The purpose and scientific contribution of this paper is to present a novel simulation model that enables estimating the lifetime benefits of an industrial asset when an intelligent maintenance management system is utilized as mixed maintenance strategies and the predictive maintenance (PdM) is leveraged into opportunistic intervals. The multi-method simulation modeling approach combining agent-based modeling with system dynamics is applied with a purposefully selected case study to conceptualize and validate the simulation model. Three maintenance strategies (preventive, corrective, and intelligent) and five different scenarios (case study data, manipulated case study data, offshore and onshore reliability data handbook (OREDA) database, physics-based data, and hybrid) are modeled and simulated for a time period of 20 years (175,200 h). Intelligent maintenance is defined as PdM leveraged in opportunistic maintenance intervals. The results clearly demonstrate the possible lifetime benefits of implementing an intelligent maintenance system into the case study as it enhanced the operational availability by 0.268% and reduced corrective maintenance workload by 459 h or 11%. The multi-method simulation model leverages and shows the effect of the physics-based data (deterioration curves), loading profiles, and detection and prediction levels. It is concluded that implementing intelligent maintenance without an effective predictive horizon of the associated PdM and effective frequency of opportunistic maintenance intervals, does not guarantee the gain of its lifetime benefits. Moreover, the case study maintenance data shall be collected in a complete (no missing data) and more accurate manner (use hours instead of date only) and used to continuously upgrade the failure rates and maintenance times.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the Brazilian labor reform repercussions and its implications for nursing work. Method: this is an exploratory-descriptive case study. Data were collected on the website of four Regional Labor Courts (in Brazil), taking into account the cases judged in first and second instance, involving nurses and aspects of labor rights that were linked to labor reform. Results: two cases were captured that dealt with: 1) lack of prior inspection for unhealthy work; 2) expansion of nurses’ working hours without overtime pay. These two situations were based on the labor reform, which confirms the process of loss of rights for nurses. Conclusion: implementing the new labor rules brought harm and had negative repercussions for nursing work, as it resulted in professionals’ loss of rights. In this treadmill, it is believed that the dissatisfaction of these workers will increase and may result in professional evasion.

Case Study Data

This case study considers the phonological forms of early lexical items produced by 1 normally developing boy, from 19 to 22 months of age, who began to produce all monosyllabic words as bisyllabic. In order to link this empirical data (the apparent creation of increased complexity) with universal tendencies (motivated by the reduction of complexity), the functions of reduplication were revisited. Phonological processes (i.e., reduplication and final consonant deletion) are viewed as repairs motivated by 2 interacting constraints (i.e., constraints on monosyllabic words and on word-final consonants). These longitudinal case study data provide further evidence for a relationship between final consonant deletion and reduplication. A possible treatment approach for similar patterns demonstrated clinically is recommended.

Case Study Data

The potential environmental benefits of utility-based cogeneration are examined, using the energy system in Ontario, Canada, as a case study. Data are presented regarding fuel cycle emissions, environmental and health effects, and associated economic costs of the existing provincial energy system, as a basis for comparison to a more efficient energy system with utility production of useable steam and hot water. Estimates are presented of reductions in emissions, effects and environmental and health costs that could be achieved by the improved system. Costs associated with mortality, morbidity, lost work days, lost crop yield, lost fish yield and building damage are considered. The analysis suggests that utility cogeneration could reduce these costs by 10 to 45%, depending on the cogeneration scenario.
