"Wie geht es Europas Sorgenkindern vier Jahre nach Beginn der Krise?", fragten wir Korrespondenten aus Irland, Griechenland, Italien, Spanien und Portugal im Januar 2014. "Auf dem Weg der Besserung", lautete die Antwort. Und heute? Geht es weiter vorsichtig bergauf - allerdings treten strukturelle Defizite und gesellschaftliche Zerwürfnisse noch deutlicher zutage.

W artykule przyglądam się temu, jaką edukację polityczną warto rozwijać we współczesnej polskiej szkole i wszędzie tam, gdzie buduje się w ludziach zdolność do wspólnej i niewyalienowanej pracy. Kierunek rozważań wyznaczyła konieczność ustosunkowania się myśli pedagogicznej – i równoległego dostosowania praktyk wychowawczych – do zmian w sposobie koordynacji społeczeństwa, które dokonują się w atmosferze groźby wybuchu wojny. Rozważania te buduję na dotychczasowych badaniach własnych z obszaru uczenia się w ruchach społecznych, analizując trzy porządki zapewniające koordynację społeczeństw (neoliberalizm, nacjonalizm, militaryzm) w kontekście wykluczanych przez nie wartości: dobra wspólnego, samorządu i pokoju. Rezultatem pracy jest matryca przyporządkowująca te kontrwartości różnym typom współpracy (koordynacji, kooperacji i kolaboracji). Matryca pozwala identyfikować specyfikę konkretnych przykładów mobilizacji społecznej, jak i rozpoznawać luki w kształceniu kolektywnych umiejętności współdziałania. Rezultaty analizy pozwalają zoperacjonalizować praktyki oporu pod kątem celów wychowania i stawiają w nowym świetle problemy powiązań i nawarstwiania się wrogich szkole ideologii neoliberalizmu, nacjonalizmu i militaryzmu. ; The paper analyses types of political education worth developing in contemporary Polish schools and in other places dedicated to building human capacity to work together in a non-alienated way. The analysis is based on my own research from the area of learning in social movements. I analyze three orders ensuring social coordination (neoliberalism, nationalism, and militarism) in the context of the values they exclude: the common good, self-government and peace. The result of the work is a matrix assigning these counter-values, accordingly, to coordination, cooperation and collaboration. The matrix allows for identification of the specificity of some examples of social mobilization, as well as identification of gaps in teaching collective interaction skills. The results of the analysis can be used to operationalize the practices of resistance in terms of educational goals. They also put in a new light the problems of connections between and building up of ideologies hostile to schools, that is, neoliberalism, nationalism and militarism. ; satkow@gmail.com ; Uniwersytet Gdański ; Amici, F., & Bietti, L.M.

The High Level Group of Experts on Literacy was established by the EU commission in order to give advice how to reduce the high number of children, adolescents and adults in the European countries who do not possess adequate reading competence. In this final report the group defined 3 key issues for European literacy policies that all Member States should focus on as they craft their own literacy solutions: Creating a more literate environment; improving the quality of teaching; increasing participation, inclusion and equity. Good practice examples from various countries are provided. (Authors) ; Die Gruppe hochrangiger Sachverständiger für Schriftsprachkompetenz wurde von der EU-Kommission einberufen, um Maßnahmen zu erarbeiten mit dem Ziel, die hohe Zahl der Kinder, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen, die in den europäischen Ländern nicht über eine angemessene Lesekompetenz verfügen, zu verringern. In ihrem Abschlussbericht hat die Expertengruppe drei Schlüsselthemen für die europäische Bildungspolitik definiert, auf die sich alle Mitgliedstaaten konzentrieren sollten, wenn sie ihre eigenen Lösungen für die Förderung von Schriftsprachkompetenz erarbeiten: Schaffung einer schriftreichen Umgebung; Verbesserung der Qualität des Unterrichts; Erhöhung von Partizipation, Inklusion und Chancengerechtigkeit. Es werden Beispiele für bewährte Maßnahmen aus verschiedenen Ländern vorgestellt. (Autoren)

Tese de Doutoramento em Antropologia, na especialidade de Antropologia da Saúde ; Anthropology, through a life course approach, provides a crossover of biological, social and cultural perspectives and approaches on health and disease, with an outstanding potential to provide data that might not be obtained by any other field of knowledge, intertwining in the multidirectional association between cultural, social, historical, political, economic and biological processes. This work focus on the effect caused by environmental stress on human health and longevity, using the life course model, through the study of a sample of skeletons from the Lisbon Identified Skeletal Collection (aka Luís Lopes Collection), referring to the early-19th to mid-20th centuries, deposited at the National Museum of Natural History and Science, University of Lisbon, Portugal - 679 subadults and adults born between 1806 and 1958 and died at Lisbon between 1880 and 1970 were available for study. Life course approach emphasizes the effect of environmental stress on the skeleton at different stages of life, by analyzing the interruption of normal development and growth of skeletal injuries, currently called stress markers. The information obtained in this analysis provides evidence to identify how and when environmental stress affects the skeleton, with more or less severity and how the skeleton reacts or recovers, and how it affects patterns of morbidity and mortality in later stages of life. As a way of establishing the connection between environmental stressors and the skeleton, several minor congenital defects of the sternum, vertebral column and skull base, cribra orbitalia, size of the neuro-vertebral canal and length of the femur and tibia are analyzed. This study is the first to test the association between vertebral neural canal size and age-at-death in a collection of Portuguese skeletons, of individuals with known sex, age-at death, year of birth and cause of death. Age-at-death is negatively associated with the size of the neural vertebral canal in several cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. However, this association ceases to exist when the confounding variables: year of birth and cause of death are added to the models as covariates. The results appear to be consistent with the plasticity and constraint model before the introduction of covariates and with the predictive adaptive response model after the inclusion of covariates in the analysis. The predictive adaptive response model defends that, in the womb, the organism makes a prediction about the environment in which it will be inserted later in life, according to the clues it receives, and adapts itself to this future environment, not only for its immediate survival, but also to be better prepared for later living conditions. Later in life, when there is a mismatch between predictions made in the womb and conditions in real life, it will result in greater susceptibility to certain chronic diseases. In the plasticity and constraint model, uterine changes resulting from environmental stress factors have the sole function of immediate survival, and will have harmful effects on morbidity and mortality in more advanced stages of life, regardless of whether or not there is an environment similar to that the organism had in the womb. None of the birth defects of the sternum and spine analyzed in this study has a statistically significant relationship with sex and age-at-death. Sex differences in the characteristics studied are not very common; therefore, the absence of statistically significant differences between sexes was expected. The absence of differences in age-at-death is also consistent with other studies. The absence of statistically significant differences in sex and age-at-death between individuals with and without these birth defects, makes them useful for biological distance studies, but not as suitable as stress markers. It would be expected that individuals with birth defects would have been exposed to any type of stressful event (for example, exposure to toxic substances, inadequate consumption of nutrients) during embryogenesis, which would affect life-long morbidity and mortality. Still, even if these defects do not affect longevity, it does not necessarily mean that they are not markers of stress. If the predictive adaptive response theory is correct, then individuals subject to stressful events early in life are better prepared to deal with stressful events later in life, which would counteract the expected effect of decreasing longevity. The study of a possible association between congenital defects of the sternum, vertebral column and skull base with cribra orbitalia, vertebral neural canal sizes and femur and tibia length, presents more promising results, regarding the possibility of using some of these defects as stress markers. Hyperplasia of the sternum is related to the antero-posterior and transverse diameters of the neuro-vertebral channels of the thoracic vertebrae in men, but each of these correlations has an opposite direction. Men with sternum hyperplasia have narrower anteroposterior diameters and wider transverse diameters. A narrower anteroposterior diameter may be associated with a hostile environment early in life leading to the presence of sternal hyperplasia, whereas a wider transverse diameter may be linked to an improvement in the environment during late childhood and adolescence, allowing growth recover. Therefore, the use of sternum hyperplasia as a stress marker may be defensible, although further studies are needed to corroborate this association. The double hypoglossal canal is related to the transverse diameters in the thoracic vertebrae in women. Women with a double hypoglossal canal tend to have narrower transverse diameters. Of all the birth defects analyzed, the double hypoglossal canal is the most promising for use as a stress marker. Sex differences can be explained by considering that males, during growth, are culturally more protected from adverse conditions than females. Finally, an exhaustive analysis of the entire collection is made regarding the presence and variability of the hypoglossal canal. The gross prevalence of double hypoglossal canal fits within the normal parameters of variation of this characteristic when compared with results from other collections. However the gross prevalence of global variants in the hypoglossal canal (partial bridging, double and triple hypoglossal canal) is 32.4%. None of the variants of the hypoglossal canal shows any difference in sex or laterality. The main findings of this study allow to infer that environmental stress is negatively associated with age-at-death, even though the association of stress and skeletal markers is not always straightforward, possibly hindered by phenomenon such as catch-up-growth associated with slight improvements in socio-economic status during childhood and adolescence. Some minor congenital defects might have the potential to be used as stress markers, namely sternum hyperplasia and double hypoglossal canal. ; A antropologia, através de uma perspectiva de história de vida, fornece um cruzamento de perspetivas e abordagens biológicas, sociais e culturais sobre saúde e doença, com potencial para fornecer dados que não poderiam ser obtidos por outro campo do conhecimento, entrelaçando-se na associação multidirecional entre processos culturais, sociais, históricos, políticos, económicos e biológicos. Este trabalho foca-se no efeito causado pelo stresse ambiental na saúde e longevidade humana, usando o modelo de história de vida, através do estudo de uma amostra de Esqueletos Identificados da Coleção de Lisboa, referente ao início do século XIX até meados do século XX, depositada no MUNHAC a, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal - 679 subadultos e adutos nascidos entre 1806 e 1958 e falecidos em Lisboa entre 1880 e 1970 estão disponíveis para estudo. A abordagem de história de vida enfatiza o efeito do stresse ambiental sobre o esqueleto em diferentes fases da vida, por meio da análise da interrupção do desenvolvimento e crescimento normal e das lesões esqueléticas(i.e. marcadores de stresse). O desenvolvimento e o crescimento são dois processos distintos, mas indissociáveis. O crescimento é fundamentalmente uma transformação quantitativa, na qual a multiplicação das células resulta em mudanças contínuas no tamanho do ser humano. Já o desenvolvimento incorpora transformações quantitativas e qualitativas e refere-se à maturação biológica de órgãos e tecidos. Embora o crescimento e o desenvolvimento não possam ser dissociados e atuem em simultaneamente, os fatores de stresse ambiental podem afetar ambos ou apenas um dos processos. As informações obtidas nessa análise fornecem evidências para identificar como e quando o stresse ambiental afeta o esqueleto, com maior ou menor severidade e como o esqueleto reage ou recupera, e a forma como isso afeta os padrões de morbidade e mortalidade em fases mais avançadas da vida. Desta forma, este estudo pretende contribuir para a ampliação do conhecimento sobre os efeitos do stresse ambiental no esqueleto e as suas consequências na longevidade, seguindo o modelo de história de vida. A perspectiva de história de vida baseia-se no pressuposto de que o trajeto de vida dos indivíduos só pode ser compreendido no contexto cultural, histórico, social e político em que vivem e resulta da acumulação de todos os eventos passados. Como forma de estabelecer a ligação entre os fatores de stresse ambiental e o esqueleto, são analisados diversos defeitos congénitos do esterno, coluna vertebral e base do crânio, cribra orbitalia, tamanho do diâmetro do canal neuro-vertebral e comprimento do fémur e da tíbia. Este estudo é o primeiro a testar a associação do tamanho do canal neural vertebral com a idade-à-morte numa coleção de esqueletos portuguesa composta por indivíduos para os quais se conhece o sexo, a idade-à-morte, o ano de nascimento e a causa da morte. A idade-à-morte está negativamente associada ao tamanho do canal neuro-vertebral em diversas vértebras cervicais, torácicas e lombares. No entanto, essa associação deixa de existir quando as variáveis confundidoras: ano de nascimento e causa do óbito são adicionadas aos modelos como covariáveis. A inclusão das covariáveis nas análises, provavelmente explica as diferenças observadas entre os resultados obtidos no presente estudo e estudos anteriores, que encontraram uma associação negativa entre os diâmetros dos canais neuro-vertebrais e a idade-à-morte. Os resultados parecem consistentes com o modelo de plasticidade e restrição antes da introdução das covariáveis e com o modelo de resposta adaptativa preditiva após a inclusão das covariáveis na análise. O modelo de resposta adaptativa preditiva defende que, no útero, o organismo faz uma "previsão" sobre o ambiente em que estará inserido mais tarde na vida, de acordo com as pistas que recebe, que lhe confere características adaptativas nesse ambiente futuro. Mais tarde na vida, na presença de uma incompatibilidade entre as previsões feitas no útero e as condições da vida real, isso resultará numa maior suscetibilidade a certas doenças crónicas. No modelo de plasticidade e restrição, as alterações uterinas decorrentes de stresse ambiental têm como função a sobrevivência imediata, e terão efeitos nefastos sobre a morbilidade e mortalidade em fases mais avançadas da vida, independentemente de haver ou não um ambiente semelhante ao que o organismo tinha no útero. Como um pequeno diâmetro de canais neuro-vertebrais tem impacto mínimo na longevidade, pode-se supor que a previsão feita pelo organismo no início da vida mostrou se correta. Embora as condições de vida possam ter piorado durante esse período, em Lisboa, sempre foram bastante adversas. No entanto, o desfecho mais significativo é a influência do ano de nascimento e da causa do óbito nos resultados. As condições de vida em Lisboa deterioraram-se entre os séculos XIX e XX, tanto para homens como para mulheres, e a morte por doença infeciosa foi um fator determinante para a morte prematura na amostra feminina. O canal neuro-vertebral captura as condições de vida durante a infância. No entanto, a espécie humana tem uma longa esperança de vida e a acumulação de risco ao longo da mesma, que pode contribuir para a mortalidade precoce, adulterando a expectável relação direta entre o tamanho do canal neuro-vertebral e a idade-à-morte. Pesquisas adicionais são necessárias para identificar outras potenciais variáveis confundidoras que podem desempenhar um papel importante na associação entre fatores de stresse no início da vida e mortalidade prematura. A falta de informações sobre a situação socioeconómica ao nascer e das mulheres (a maioria registada como "doméstica), não permite uma compreensão robusta do contexto em que esses indivíduos viveram e impede-nos de adotar uma abordagem holística da história de vida. No entanto, a trajetória histórica da coleção aqui examinada permite inferir que a maioria dos indivíduos nasceu e viveu num contexto de privação, enfrentando carências nutricionais e doenças. Nenhum dos defeitos congénitos analisados tem uma relação estatisticamente significativa com o sexo e a idade-à-morte. As diferenças de sexo nas características estudadas não são muito comuns, portanto, a ausência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os sexos era expectável e é consentânea com outros estudos. A ausência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas em relação ao sexo e idade-à-morte entre indivíduos com e sem estes defeitos congénitos, torna-os úteis para estudos de distância biológica, mas não tão adequados como marcadores de stresse. Seria expectável que indivíduos com defeitos congénitos tivessem sido expostos a stresse ambiental (e.g. exposição a substâncias tóxicas, consumo inadequado de nutrientes) durante a embriogénese, que afetaria a morbidade e mortalidade no decorrer da vida. Mesmo que esses defeitos não afetem a longevidade, não significa que não sejam marcadores de stresse. Se a teoria da resposta adaptativa preditiva estiver correta, então os indivíduos sujeitos a eventos stressantes no início da vida estão melhor preparados para lidar com eventos stressantes mais tarde na vida, o que neutralizaria a expectável diminuição da longevidade. A mortalidade seletiva e a heterogeneidade ao nível individual no risco de morbidade e mortalidade, desconstrói uma associação direta entre a presença de um marcador de stresse e a diminuição da longevidade. O estudo da possível associação entre defeitos congénitos do esterno, coluna vertebral e base do crânio e cribra orbitalia, diâmetro dos canais neuro-vertebrais e comprimento do fémur e da tíbia, apresenta resultados mais promissores, quanto à possibilidade de utilização de alguns destes defeitos como marcadores de stresse. A hiperplasia do esterno está relacionada com os diâmetros ântero-posterior e transversal dos canais neuro-vertebrais das vértebras torácicas, nos homens, mas, cada uma dessas correlações tem uma direção oposta. Homens com hiperplasia do esterno têm diâmetros ântero-posterior mais estreitos e diâmetros transversais mais largos. Considerando que os diâmetros ântero-posterior completam o seu crescimento, aproximadamente aos 4 anos de idade, e os diâmetros transversais podem continuar a crescer até aos 15-17 anos, é possível que um diâmetro ântero-posterior mais estreito esteja associado a um ambiente hostil no início da vida; e um diâmetro transversal mais amplo pode estar ligado a uma melhoria no ambiente durante o final da infância e adolescência, permitindo a recuperação do crescimento. Portanto, o uso da hiperplasia do esterno como marcador de stresse pode ser defensável, embora mais estudos sejam necessários para corroborar essa associação. O canal hipoglosso duplo está relacionado com os diâmetros transversais nas vértebras torácicas, nas mulheres. Mulheres com canal hipoglosso duplo tendem a ter diâmetros transversais mais estreitos. De todos os defeitos congénitos analisados, o canal hipoglosso duplo é o mais promissor para uso como marcador de stresse. As diferenças de sexo podem ser explicadas considerando que os rapazes, durante o crescimento são culturalmente mais protegidos das condições adversas do que as raparigas. Por último, faz-se uma análise de toda a coleção quanto à variabilidade do canal hipoglosso. A prevalência do canal hipoglosso duplo enquadra-se nos parâmetros normais de variação dessa característica quando comparada com resultados de outras coleções. A prevalência das variantes globais (divisão parcial do canal hipoglosso, canal hipoglosso duplo e triplo no canal hipoglosso é de 32,4%. Nenhuma das variantes apresenta diferença de sexo ou lateralidade. Os resultados deste estudo permitem inferir que o stresse ambiental está negativamente associado à idade-à-morte, embora a associação entre stresse e marcadores esqueléticos nem sempre seja direta, possivelmente afetada por fenómenos como o catch-up-growth associado a melhorias no estatuto socioeconómico durante a infância e adolescência. Alguns defeitos congénitos podem ter potencial para serem usados como marcadores de stresse (hiperplasia do esterno, canal hipoglosso duplo). ; N/A
