Computational Materials

This book presents a broad collection of models and computational methods - from atomistic to continuum - applied to crystal dislocations. Its purpose is to help students and researchers in computational materials sciences to acquire practical knowledge of relevant simulation methods. Because their behavior spans multiple length and time scales, crystal dislocations present a common ground for an in-depth discussion of a variety of computational approaches, including their relative strengths, weaknesses and inter-connections. The details of the covered methods are presented in the form of "numerical recipes" and illustrated by case studies. A suite of simulation codes and data files is made available on the book's website to help the reader "to learn-by-doing" through solving the exercise problems offered in the book.

Learning Development

Many studies have suggested that personal practical knowledge is essential for professional development. Recently,there has been growing recognition of the importance of teacher educators’ personal practical knowledge of‘language’ for student learning development. However, the need for teacher educators to first understand their ownlanguage-oriented development in content-based classroom interaction has not received as much emphasis. Thecurrent intervention study investigates how eleven experienced teacher educators understand their language-orienteddevelopment through the control of task difficulty, small-group instruction and directed response questioning. Datawere examined by conducting content and constant comparison analyses. The results showed that the interventionaffected the educators’ language-oriented development, which in turn affected their awareness and decisions made toimprove their methods of initiation and response during classroom interaction. The results call for more concreteways to expend teacher educators’ practical knowledge of language to further develop and enhance theirlanguage-oriented teaching performance in content-based classroom interaction.

Management Of Care

ABSTRACTObjective: to present the activities performed by oncology nurses in a pediatric chemotherapy unit of a university hospital. Methodology: experience report at a pediatric chemotherapy unit in a school-hospital. We searched for publications in electronic databases to support discussions. This study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley (124/08). Results: the authors pointed out the importance of these professionals to rethink about their professional practice and of management of care a way to implement the required changes. The nursing assistance starts at the moment of patient into the room, with attention to welcome. The assistance is the main activity, the others, administrative, information system, education, scientific and humanization, promote the better care. In the scene of a room of chemotherapy of a school-hospital, the nurses need to use its technical, scientific, administrative and practical knowledge, regarding pediatric oncology, in order to carry out the management of the care.  Conclusion: management of care directed to pediatric cancer patient must be dynamic, according the actual situation and each institution’s reality, using full clinical judgment, decision, reflection, integration, creativity and knowledge of specific issues of each patient. Descriptors: patient care management; nursing care; oncology nursing; pediatric nursing; management; chemotherapy; oncology service, hospital.RESUMOObjetivo: relatar as atividades do enfermeiro em ambulatório de quimioterapia pediátrica de um hospital escola. Metodologia: relato de experiência em ambulatório de quimioterapia pediátrica de um hospital escola. Buscaram-se publicações em bases de dados eletrônicas para subsidiar as discussões. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley (124/08). Resultados: a assistência de enfermagem inicia desde a recepção do paciente ao ser admitido, com o acolhimento. A assistência direta à criança é a atividade principal, as outras, administrativas, sistema de informação, educativas, científicas e humanização, favorecem o cuidado qualificado.
