This article aims to analyze Brazilian research on statistics education involving teachers to highlight methodological trends and training contexts mobilized by such research. To this end, a survey was carried out in the Dissertation and Thesis Bank of CAPES, considering the descriptor "Statistical Education” and the 2013-2018 timeframe. A total of ninety-nine studies were found, twenty of which met the proposed objective. This is a documentary and bibliographic study, in which an interpretative approach was adopted using the technique of content analysis. The data analysis verified that nine of those studies did not lead to training processes with teachers. In addition, the analysis of the other eleven studies, which led to training, revealed an intrinsic relationship between the methodological path and the training contexts reported. This demonstrated the expressiveness of training contexts based on epistemology of collaboration, that is, those contexts that both give voice and listen to teachers, and recognize them as producers of knowledge. Conversely, we identified two research studies that shaped the training considering the paradigm of technical rationality, and designed training courses to address certain content/concepts that teachers supposedly do not master. It was evidenced that the conception of teacher training has a direct and explicit relationship with the organization of the training spaces outlined. Finally, we identified one research study based on epistemology of practice, which focuses on the understanding of knowledge mobilized in teaching practice. Abstract: Portuguese O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar pesquisas brasileiras de Educação Estatística que envolveram professores, com vistas a evidenciar tendências metodológicas e de contextos formativos mobilizados por tais estudos. Para tanto, realizou-se um mapeamento no Banco de Dissertações e Teses da CAPES, considerando o descritor “Educação Estatística” e o período de 2013 a 2018. Foram identificadas 99 pesquisas, dentre as quais 20 dialogam com o objetivo proposto. Trata-se de um estudo documental e bibliográfico, no qual se adotou uma abordagem interpretativa que tem como técnica a análise de conteúdo. A análise dos dados permitiu identificar que nove destes estudos não desencadearam processos formativos com os docentes. Além disso, a análise das demais 11 pesquisas, que desenvolveram processos formativos, revelou uma intrínseca relação entre o percurso metodológico e os contextos formativos relatados. Nesse sentido, evidenciou-se uma expressividade de contextos formativos pautados na epistemologia da colaboração, ou seja, aqueles que dão voz aos professores e se colocam à sua escuta; que os reconhecem como produtores de conhecimento. Em contrapartida, duas pesquisas estruturaram as formações, considerando o paradigma da racionalidade técnica e concebendo cursos de capacitação para abordar determinado conteúdo/conceito que o professor supostamente não domina. Constatou-se que a concepção de formação de professores tem relação direta e explícita com a organização dos espaços de formação delineados. Por fim, identificou-se uma pesquisa alicerçada na epistemologia da prática, que se volta para a compreensão de saberes mobilizados no fazer docente.

Purpose: The worldwide payment system has another alternative called e-payment system now. There are a numbers of different aspects on payment system in two mentioned countries. To utilize the arrangement of e-payment, we can spare our time, assets and powers throughout our day by day to exercise the daily e-payment method. The larger part of developing nation is utilizing this e-payment system these days, on the grounds that the e-payment will push the economy to drive speedily. Author has used quantitative method data collection, whereby questionnaire will be provided to respondents. The populations for this research study are financial organizations in both of countries. The target markets are 59 organizations and for data analyzing author will use SPSS technique. Today, the structure of payment system is electronic-payment systems.  It is believed that the result of this study significantly support e-payment system. Using cash, cheque and other kind of payment methods are very less observed in Malaysia. Author has tried to find what are the comparative aspects of payment system between two countries and what are the benefit of e-payment system which used in Malaysia and unused in Tajikistan. This study will help the payment system of Tajikistan to develop and transform to new payment system accordingly. Therefore, this research will deliver as educational subject and training courses to the Republic of Tajikistan.

Objective: The purpose of the study is to evaluate radiographer practice with advanced digital radiography in terms of the values of exposure indices and deviation indices between hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: The study is based on PACS’ data of paediatric radiographic images limited to the chest and abdomen performed during the last year from four hospitals in Saudi Arabia. P-value was calculated to investigate any significant differences exist between the values of exposure indices and deviation indices of the images, which will be acquired from the DICOM file of image data.Results: Most of the paediatric radiographic images (54%) were underexposed, as these images had deviation index with less than -1 from four hospitals compared to expected results. However, in one hospital, 58% of the images were overexposed. The majority of the underexposed paediatric radiographic images were chest and abdomen radiographic exam (50% and 66% separately). Results also show that most of the underexposed radiographic images were using a grid (66%); on the other hand, in the overexposed radiographic images, 59% did not use the grid.Conclusions: The findings of the study show the need for radiographers for further knowledge and training courses to improve their performance in digital radiography and paediatric imaging.

Underlying Pathology

This study is part of a larger research study (doctoral dissertation), in which a comparative study with adolescent samples is done: 50 anorexic restricting patients (ANP), 50 patients diagnosed with depression (DP) and 50 non patients (NP). The proposed objective is two-fold: 1) To try to clarify the existing relationship between Anorexia (AN) and Depression (D), investigated from diverse disciplines but without conclusive results. 2) To detect in the ANP personality different traits from those of other groups, which should, if possible, allow to detect them at an early stage for an adequate prognosis. The current article presents the Rorschach findings in relation to the cognitive functioning of the ANP. In them, the following has been detected: (1) An information processing similar to that of the other groups, even with a more complete (L ≤ .99), more complex (DQ+↑) and better discriminated (Zd↑) grasp of the stimulus; (2) Mediating processes very similar to those of the other groups, sharing with them the perceptive maladjustments (X–%↑) and an excessive individualism (Xu%↑); (3) A clearly differentiating ideation disorder. Definitely, the ANP use predominantly ideation (M↑), but their thought, usually well-adjusted (MQo↑), presents eventual operations of delusional type (MQnone↑). Above that, their thinking is marked by a great passivity (Mp↑), which makes them more vulnerable to accept ideas without criticizing them and it results in a very inefficient thinking, which spins around these concepts without finding solutions, entering into a sort of ruminating which is completely unproductive. The differences toward the obsessive pathology are established. The discriminant analysis conducted with all the Rorschach variables that resulted as significant throughout the research, provides quite a consistent function which discriminates the ANP: MQnone↑, Mp↑, FD↓, Ma↑, MQo↑, AdjD↑, Sum H↑, (H)↑. Based on this we can understand that these adolescents, being in a developmental period of big changes and disorientations in relation with their own image, confronted with life events, and possibly starting off with some biologic vulnerability: (1) Due to the alterations of their ideation, accept without criticism (Mp) irrational ideas dominating in our culture, in which slimness appears as the only model, synthesis of intelligence, beauty and success; remaining captured in this type of mental activity (MQnone), which they cannot escape nor criticize (Mp), despite they reason adequately on other topics (MQo); (2) Their alterations of self-perception [(H)] make them hide themselves in a fantasized image, which is the axis of their interests and the only thing that really matters to them; (3) The resources they have to decide on behaviors and to finish these deliberately (AdjD), and their scarce tendency to the introspection (FD) lead to their decision of not eating, based on distorted and passively accepted thinking, which has great power and thus, so difficult to modify. Finally, based on the Rorschach data obtained, the hypothesis of a personality disorder as underlying pathology is pointed out.

AbstractBackground: Given the limited available time of in-service professionals, the balance between the perceived importance of the course content and training needs is essential for the acceptance and attractiveness of training courses aimed at them. Objectives: The goal of the paper is to contribute to the development of entrepreneurship and business training programs for European SME managers. Methods/Approach: In six European countries a survey focusing on SME managers’ views on the importance of individual items from a list of potential course content items, and their training needs was carried out, and followed by an analysis using exploratory and multivariate techniques. It was aimed at identifying homogeneous groups of managers with common training needs and perceptions of content importance. Results: Homogeneous groups of managers who assign the same importance to certain competences and who have common training needs are identified. Conclusions: Results of our research could help training institutions to develop courses aimed at SME managers. The balancing approach proved to be an interesting method of combining conflicting requirements for the training course curriculum development.

And Training

The Faculties of Engineering Sciences at Universidad Católica del Norte in Chile regard teacher training as a necessary tool for its academics’ professional development and as a fundamental way to improve their teaching quality. The Teaching Unit for Innovation in Engineering (UIDIN) has developed a new curriculum and training programme which seeks to support the faculty in its implementation. This article presents some of the outcomes of a study aimed at qualitatively examining the development of the faculty’s conceptions and philosophy of teaching and improvements in pedagogical competencies as a result of the implementation and transfer of the training programme. The teaching philosophy is described in different ways, but overall it considers teaching an act of disciplinary knowledge transfer based on students’ interests, skills and attitudes, and with a heavy emphasis on building students’ core values. Interviews reveal changes in the participants’ learning and competencies due to the training, along with a positive impact on the teachers’ lesson planning and assessment strategies and students’ feedback and the willingness to engage in more reflexive teaching practice.

Two Populations

China Miéville’s 2009 'Weird' detective novel The City and The City is a tale of two city states, culturally distinct, between which unpoliced contact is forbidden. While residents of each city can learn about the other’s history, geography, politics, see photographs and watch news footage of the other city, relations between the two are tightly monitored and any direct contact requires a series of protocols, some of which might seem reasonable, or at least familiar: entry permits, international mail, international dialing codes, intercultural training courses. What complicates these apparently banal measures is the relative positioning of the two cities, each one around, within, amongst the other. The two populations live side by side, under a regime which requires ostentatious and systematic disregard or 'unnoticing' of the other in any context but a tightly regulated set of encounters. For all that interculturality is endemic to everyday life in the 21st century, what is striking is that critical and popular uptake of this novel so frequently decries the undesirability, the immorality even, of the cultural separation between the two populations, framing it as an allegory of unjust division within a single culture, and thus by implication endorsing the erasure of intercultural difference. We propose an alternative reading which sees this novel as exploring the management of intercultural encounters, and staging the irreducibility of intercultural difference. We examine how the intercultural is established in the novel, and ask how it compares to its representations in prevalent theoretical models, specifically that of the Third Place.

The use of new information technologies has the advantage of supporting all those in charge of any organization in their decisions, and allowing them visibility as quickly as it is relevant to all the important indicators of their system. Human resources managers are using more and more IT tools to better follow the continuing education open for the teaching staff. The number of these training courses and the high number of participating teachers can pose many monitoring and traceability problems. Hence the idea of proposing a model based on e-learning solutions to help adapt the teaching to the learner, and to ensure traceability when switching from one training to another.
