- Relação entre sucesso escolar e estratégias de desenvolvimento curricular na disciplina de portuguêsPublication . Costa, Sónia Teresa Simões da; Nobre, AnaAs operacionalização das estratégias de desenvolvimento curricular têm um impacto direto no sucesso/insucesso dos alunos. Foi analisada a forma como os alunos do sétimo ano de escolaridade, por se tratar do início de um ciclo, de uma escola da periferia da cidade de Coimbra acedem ao currículo no âmbito da disciplina de Português. Posteriormente, procedeu-se à definição de estratégias de desenvolvimento curricular com enfoque no papel dos diferentes atores educativos, sobretudo o professor, que é o mobilizador das diferentes estratégias, no desenvolvimento e avaliação do currículo. Visa aferir-se as estratégias de desenvolvimento curricular que estão a ser implementadas no âmbito da disciplina de Português pelos professores do sétimo ano de escolaridade. Dar-se-á uma atenção especial às estratégias de gestão e desenvolvimento curricular que encontram enquadramento no Decreto-Lei n.º 54/2018 aliado ao Decreto-Lei n.º 55/2028, por serem estas as aplicadas no estudo empírico. Face às estratégias identificadas, serão auscultados os principais intervenientes no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos do sétimo ano de escolaridade na disciplina de Português, incluindo os próprios alunos (assumidos como protagonistas da globalidade deste processo). Assim, proceder-se-á ao levantamento das perceções dos alunos, dos professores e das lideranças intermédias (coordenadores de departamento e coordenadora da EMAEI). Após a análise dos dados recolhidos e das perceções apuradas, serão apontadas sugestões, com base nas teorias curriculares, para a operacionalização da gestão e desenvolvimento curricular na disciplina de Português do sétimo ano de escolaridade. Portanto, após a definição e análise de um status quo, serão empreendidos esforços no sentido de o melhorar e corrigir, de modo a que as estratégias de gestão e desenvolvimento curricular na disciplina de Português do sétimo ano de escolaridade não sejam a fonte do insucesso escolar no âmbito desta disciplina. Reitera-se o facto de as estratégias referidas incidirem sobretudo nas medidas de suporte à aprendizagem e à inclusão previstas no Decreto-Lei n.º 54/2018. Existe uma relação estreita entre o sucesso escolar e as estratégias de desenvolvimento curricular operacionalizadas na aula de Português, uma vez que as barreiras que se colocam à aprendizagem de determinados alunos são ultrapassadas, ou seja, o currículo torna-se acessível a todos, alcançando-se a verdadeira inclusão.
- Scoping workshop 3 on next generation of mixed fisheries advice (WKMIXFISH3)Publication . Andersen, Michael; Bourke, Elizabeth; Cole, Harriet; Cook, Robert; Danby, Rufus; Dolder, Paul; Ferraro, Marta; Garcia, Dorleta; Green, Phil; Grossmann, Jenni; Kelly, Ruth; Lamon, Luca; Maginnis, Neil; Marcher, Claire; Moore, Claire; Muench, Angela; Polonio, Virginia; Rodmel, Dale; Rogers, Chloe; Sandel, Jane; Schou, Mogens; Seixas, Sónia; Sulanke, Erik; Sys, Klaas; Taylor, Marc; Tsangarides, Christian; Vermard, YouenWKMIXFISH are a series of workshops bringing together scientists, advice recipients, and stakeholders to identify future research and advisory priorities for mixed fisheries science. The third scoping workshop on the next generation of mixed fisheries advice (WKMIXFISH3) met to review changes to mixed fisheries considerations and progress on method development since the last workshop in March 2023. The workshop focused on three areas of development. First, it reviewed changes and clarifications to mixed fisheries considerations that were incorporated to improve communication around the purpose of and assumptions in the advice. Second, it reviewed the substantial methodological development that has been undertaken by WGMIXFISH-METHODS and EU and UK research projects. The focus of this work was to address an EU/UK joint request to ICES on mixed fisheries science. Third, it discussed the outcome of a workshop on fleet and métier definitions (WKMIXFLEET) that took place the preceding two days. Methodological developments included evaluation of uncertainty in mixed fisheries models, analyses of sensitivity to model assumptions, including fleet and métier structure, and creating new ways to explore mixed fisheries data. It was noted that these, in combination with new tools, guidance, and visualizations, helped to provide greater understanding of the models and advice. While these endeavours are ongoing, there was general support for continued development; in particular, the deployment of a mixed fisheries online app to provide end-users and stakeholders with the ability to interact with the multifaceted outputs from mixed fisheries models. Support for, and engagement with, developments on using the Regional Database Estimation System (RDBES) data to make improvements to fleet and métier definitions was also highlighted. Next steps identified were for WGMIXFISH-ADVICE and WGMIXFISH-METHODS to use the valuable feedback obtained to continue to develop the tools, and implement and receive feedback on them as part of an iterative process. It was noted that further research and dedicated time for scientists was necessary to support the ongoing improvements to mixed fisheries advice and data products, and that this should be a priority.
- Revisiting odd-even effects in n-alkane systemsPublication . Fausto, Rui; Sequeira, Maria Carolina; Caetano, Fernando J. P.; Diogo, Herminio; Fareleira, João M. N. A.; Nikitin, Timur; Fausto, Ruin-Alkanes have been widely studied for different applications. Recently, they became still more popular due to their exceptional characteristics as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage (TES) applications [1]. In our research group, during the last three years, we have been studying the phase equilibrium behaviour of some binary systems with potential application as PCMs, including n-alkanes [2,3]. In this study, the n-alkanes family has shown some intriguing effects, related to the odd or even number of carbon atoms of the molecules on the characteristics of their solid-liquid phase equilibria. Several studies regarding the solid phase properties have been carried out to understand this type of phenomena in n-alkanes and compounds whose molecules contain alkyl groups. It has been established that n-alkanes exhibit different crystal packing arrangements according to their odd or even number of carbon atoms in their chains [4]. As a result, several properties are seen to be affected by the number of carbon atoms, revealing remarkable odd-even effects, which can eventually be used as an advantage for some specific applications [5]. This is particularly important to interpret and predict the solid-liquid phase equilibrium types of the diagrams, which is a key issue to select PCMs for TES applications. Most of the studies involving the properties of n-alkanes are devoted to the liquid phase. Therefore, along the years, a wide range of properties have been measured, predicted, correlated, and interpreted, including viscosity, density, heat capacity, vapour pressure, flash point, boiling point, and thermal conductivity. It is generally known that linear alkanes are an interesting homologous series, because they show a considerable regularity in their fluid phase properties, which allows to establish, for example, simple correlations based on the number of carbon atoms in the molecular chain [4]. Because of the raising importance of energy storage, namely TES, and the application of alkanes as PCMs, interest in their solid-liquid phase equilibria has increased. Consequently, it is interesting to picture an overall image on the thermophysical properties of n-alkanes, and, in particular to study the predictability of the main characteristics of their solid-liquid phase equilibria. Thus, this work aims to be a comprehensive view on the thermophysical properties and phase equilibrium behaviour of n-alkanes and their relation to the odd or even carbon atoms present in the alkyl chain.
