A Reforma do Estado: Qual a Natureza da Política Educacional nos Anos 1990?
Over the last years, educational policies have been modified with regard to discussed items, and certain issues agreed upon by educators during the 1980s have been redefined. Current research analyzes the reforms brought about by the State that affected the educational politics in the 1990s, and which contributed towards forms of funding and administering the educational system. The neo-liberal reforms adopted justified the responsibility of the State for the established crisis and demanded reforms in the State and in its institutions. It was thus expected that distortions would be corrected and efficiency generated so that Brazil would be inserted within capitalist production. Current research highlights issues attributed to decentralization which foregrounded government policies that deprived people of their rights and somewhat constructed the consistencies of the movement. In fact, its central bases include the rationing of the federal government’s resources to adopt a decentralization strategy with the ensuing outsourcing, thereby shunning autonomy and democratic participation.
Política educacional e regulação no contexto Latino-Americano: Argentina, Brasil e Chile
The article discusses some questions relative to current educational policies in three countries of Latin America: Argentina, Brazil and Chile. By means of literature review followed by documental research, including pertinent legislation in each country and documents produced by International Organizations linked to the UN which work in the Region, we attempted to observe in which measure the changes occurred within the educational legislation in these three countries delineated a new educational policy which translates into different mechanisms of regulation. It is considered that the public policies adopted in these three countries in the last decade have undergone changes in virtue of the processes of reforms which presented as a common trace a new educational regulation based on three axes: local management; per capita financing and systemic evaluation.
Analysis of a coaxial-to-waveguide adaptor including a discended probe and a tuning post
A field matching analysis of a coaxial-to-waveguide adaptor incorporating a disc-ended probe and a tuning post is presented. In this analysis, the tuning post is considered as a short-circuited second probe. A computer algorithm for calculating the input impedance of this structure is developed. This algorithm is used to investigate and improve the operation of a commercially available coaxial-to-waveguide adaptor. >
