Improvement of Educational Products Validation form in professional postgraduate programs

ABSTRACT Educational Product and Technical-Technological Product constitute a specificity of postgraduate programs in the professional modality, a product that must be carefully evaluated by the programs and recorded on platforms of evaluating bodies. In 2019, a working group from the teaching area was assembled to create a Validation Form for these products. Thus, this article aims to present a proposal for improving this Validation Form for Educational/Technical-Technological Products, based on reflections treated in scientific articles and scientific events from the area, focusing on the relevance and need for this type of evaluation in a standardized way. It is intended to collaborate with the improvement of the evaluation processes and procedures of Educational/Technical-Technological Products for the necessary accuracy, representativeness, and homogeneity, which will allow the real dimensioning of the contributions of these products. This involves not only training qualified professionals, but also transforming practices in the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) [Brazil's Unified Health System], promoting advances in science and in its fields of application.

Regulations Matter: Epistemic Monopoly, Domination, Patents, and the Public Interest

This paper argues that regulatory agencies have a responsibility to further the public interest when they determine the conditions under which new technological products may be commercialized. As a case study, this paper analyzes the US 9th Circuit Court’s ruling on the efforts of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate an herbicide meant for use with seed that are genetically modified to be tolerant of the chemical. Using that case, it is argued that when regulatory agencies evaluate new technological products, they have an obligation to draw on data, analyses, and evaluations from a variety of credible epistemic sources, and not rely solely or even primarily on the technology developer. Otherwise, they create conditions for their own domination and that of the polity by the technology developer. Moreover, in the interest of advancing the public interest, regulatory agencies must evaluate new technologies in a substantively and procedurally unbiased manner.

Disappearing Bodies, Disappearing Objects: What Years and Years Can Teach Us About Design

British television has recently acquired a reputation for producing challenging dystopian visions of the future. While Black Mirror casts a disenchanted look on our experiences, Years and Years lacks cynicism and, in that regard, holds interesting lessons for designers. While the issues commented on by the British fictional series are also global in scale and scope (nuclear bombing, political tensions in the EU, energy crisis), the series displays a rare creativity in its depiction of future objects and innovations. The inventions depicted can be truly groundbreaking, long awaited or dysfunctional. While the series examines these objects and dispositifs, it never leans towards a set position, be it discouraged Luddism or happy-go-lucky celebration. Because it refuses to embrace or reject technology, it gives space to a rich examination of the possible design products of the future. This essay examines three selected objects (a meal tray, a vocal AI and a drone) which potentially condense a great deal of the current criticism of technology. None of the analysed objects are incredible in form or function; in fact, they have all been the subject of previous fiction matter. These objects will be analysed in terms of dispositifs and usage, but also as temporal devices whose functionality and aesthetics change with or against the tide. The concept of disappearance will be key as all three objects purport to replace jobs and the workers who hold such positions. These technological products all enact an erasure of work and of the working-class body, if they are understood as potential products available in a near future. As narrative devices, however, they also function as potent critical agents, underlying potential modes of resistance in our present.

sp2 Carbon Stable Radicals

sp2 Nanocarbons such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene molecules are not only open-shell species, but spatially extended, due to which their chemistry is quite specific. Cogently revealed dependence of the final products composition on size and shape of the carbons in use as well as on the chemical prehistory is accumulated in a particular property—the stabilization of the species’ radical efficiency, thus providing the matter of stable radicals. If the feature is highly restricted and rarely available in ordinary chemistry, in the case of sp2 nanocarbons it is just an ordinary event providing, say, tons-in-mass stable radicals when either producing such widely used technological products as carbon black or dealing with deposits of natural sp2 carbons such as anthracite, shungite carbon, and other. Suggested in the paper is the consideration of stable radicals of sp2 nanocarbons from the standpoint of spin-delocalized topochemistry. Characterized in terms of the total and atomically partitioned number of effectively unpaired electrons as well as of the distribution of the latter over carbon atoms and described by selectively determined barriers of different reactions exhibiting topological essence of intermolecular interaction, sp2 nanocarbons reveal a peculiar topokinetics that lays the foundation of the stability of their radical properties.

Methodology for measuring the mass concentration of germanium in technological products of lead, zinc, and copper production of the UK MC KAZZINC LLP

Germanium is an indispensable high-tech element in many modern industries due to the unique semiconductor properties of its crystals. Subsequently, there were discovered other interesting properties of germanium and its compounds, which contributed to a significant expansion of its industrial use. At present, there are developed few methods for the determination of germanium in various raw materials that could find practical application. The article presents a method for measuring the concentration of germanium in technological products of lead, zinc, and copper industries using the latest technological equipment-an atomic emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma Spectro CirosCCD with Smart Analyzer Vision software in solutions obtained after decomposition of samples with a mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrofluoric acids, followed by the addition of dilute sulfuric acid at a wavelength of 209.43 nm. The range of analyte contents is 10-4-10-3% by mass, the accuracy of the analysis method is ± Δ0.0011-0.0012% by mass, and the extended uncertainty of the analysis results is U (CGe) 0.0011-0.013% by mass.

O TRABALHO INFORMAL DE RUA RECONFIGURADO: sua função como agente da acumulação

<div class="trans-abstract"><p>O presente artigo aborda os trabalhadores que ofertam produtos tecnológicos (celular, games, pen drivers etc.) no espaço conhecido como Camelódromo do Feiraguai, situado na cidade de Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brasil. Pretendeu-se responder às seguintes questões: o que chamamos aqui de camelô (ou vendedor ambulante) de tecnologia, será uma forma diferenciada da relação de trabalho informal, realizado nas ruas, onde a lógica predominante é a do negócio (do lucro), correspondente à empresa, e não a lógica do trabalho (ligado à sobrevivência)? trata-se de atividades que agora passam a servir como veias de expansão do capital? Para responder às perguntas tivemos como objetivo geral, explorar essa nova diferenciação que se encontra presente nas formas de trabalho de rua existentes na sociedade brasileira atual, buscando compreendê-la como uma nova (re) configuração. Consideramos que esse fenômeno evidencia um tipo de atividade que sofre interferências diretas do mundo formal, reconfigurando-se e assumindo feições empresariais. Para a realização da pesquisa, foram aplicados 151 questionários, que permitiram constatar que se trata de um trabalho de estilo e lógica empresarial, mas ainda realizado nos marcos do trabalho informal.</p><p><strong>Palavras-Chave: </strong>Informalidade; Camelô de tecnologia; Capitalismo</p></div><div class="trans-abstract"><p class="sec"><strong>THE RECONFIGURED PEDDLER: Your function for accumulation</strong></p><p class="sec">ABSTRACT</p><p>This paper deals with street workers that offer technological products (cell, games, flash drivers etc.) in Camelódromo Feiraguai in Feira de Santana.
