No resumo de um só dia: tempo e memória em O burrinho pedrês de Gumarães Rosa

Memory, the ability of keeping and remembering past states of consciousness and everything that could be associated with them, is one of the human properties responsible for the construction of experience, knowledge and preservation of individual’s identity. However, recalling is also the way we keep relationships with time, factor that is essential and inherent to our existence and responsible for the fact that we have memory. As for the narrative, as for life, time is a prime category, because it is in time that narrated or experienced events happen. This relationship between time and memory is remarkable in “O burrinho pedrês”, Guimarães Rosa’s short story present in his debut book, Sagarana. In this story, we can notice, generally, the characters use memory as a way to return to the past, evoking, consciously or unconsciously, the experience and its result, the wisdom, to help on the understanding of present situations. So, this research has as objective to analyze how time and memory relate and become indispensable to the development of the narrative and to the construction of the other categories - character, narrator and space. The theoretical foundation is based on studies clustered in three dimensions: a) theoretical essays about Guimarães Rosa’s work in general and the particular short story b) philosophical and/or psychological propositions about memory and time, and c) propositions about the mentioned categories of narrative

Inclusão escolar de um aluno com autismo: descrevendo práticas de alfabetização em uma escola pública - ciclo I

Learning the written language has been the subject of research and study of various sciences in recent decades, in the same way that inclusion in regular education of students with disabilities such as autism, also has been the subject of discussions in the academic and even political. However, it can be observed that these two topics are disjointed, despite the importance of ownership of the system of writing by students with autism, because that would be a way to facilitate social interaction, which is the principal difficulty of this students. This research intend to describe the inclusion process of a student with autism into a common room of the initial years, in a public school, observing which are the strategies used by the teacher in the literacy process, as well as analyze the collaborative process developed by the researcher. The methodology was a qualitative and collaborative research, the kind of case study. The participants were a teacher and her students, from the cycle I of Primary School of a public school, among which, one is diagnosed with autism. The instruments used to the data’s analysis were interviews, with the teacher and the mother of the student with autism; the written productions of the student during the research; camp diary; and the observations made during the research. To the interventions, were used alternative practices, including material production (a mobile alphabet and a album of photos), that make more easy the process of literacy, The results showed the great difficulty in performing the interventions in a collaborative process, considering that in the observations, it was found that the practices of this teacher were traditional, and also there was no planning, on her part, content to be deal with the students. Otherwise, related to the development of the autism student’s written language, it could be seen like a breakthrough, have in...

Redução do tempo de ciclo baseado na produção enxuta em uma rémontagem de tubos de freios e combustível

In today's competitive environment of automakers, it is essential to obtain the highest efficiency of the production process. This paper presents a study in a pre-assembly of brake pipes and fuel of a vehicle where the value stream maps and information (VSM – Value Stream Mapping) were designed in order to improve the process by reducing the Lead Time Production of a product, reducing waste and decrease time between processes. This work can be divided into three stages, the first building the VSM of the initial state, the second VSM of the proposed state and finally the VSM than was actually performed and to present the gains were achieved effectively. The proposed VSM would lead to a gain of 54% in lead time and 61% in processing time, since the VSM implemented had gains of 47% in lead time and 48% in processing time even without major investments as originally proposed. Concluding that even without big investment, using the techniques of lean manufacturing is possible to achieve high levels of process efficiency

Otimização de altitude de vôo para aeronaves executivas para economia de combustível e tempo

This work approaches, in a simplified manner, the analysis of an aircraft’s trajectory through the 3 main flight phases, climb, cruise and descent, related to fuel consumption and elapsed time. From this analysis is developed a tool that aims optimize the flight planning operational procedure, providing an altitude that comply with fuel saving during the trip, or minimizes the trip time. The use of any altitude is an operator’s decision, that aims comply with their operational needs of each trip, getting the results provided by the tool as a primary approach to the flight profile that also bring up economics aspects of each possibility of decision to be taken. Since the aeronautical Market has singular problems, as the flight altitude optimization, there is the need to solutions very customized that many times can not attend every restriction for each operator and its related kind of operation. When we talk about executive aircrafts, is possible to note that its operators does not have enough engineering and logistic support, when compared to huge airlines companies, to analyze all exceptions of each singular operation, creating many times wastes that can be avoiding with a tool described herein in this work

O tempo livre na modernidade

Esse trabalho vem a fim de que, a partir do movimento de perda do tempo livre, possamos refletir sobre este na sociedade em que vivemos atualmente. Sociedade essa que disciplinou os corpos através de um grande conjunto de tecnologias, transformando-os em consumidores para agirem como mola propulsora para o capitalismo. Em decorrência da visão consumista, que afeta a sociedade desde a infância, esse trabalho vem como ferramenta para que possamos pensar a prática capitalista transformadora, até mesmo do direito ao lazer, em mercadoria. Não se pretende, com esse trabalho, estabelecer verdades únicas, e sim o começo de uma reflexão sobre a “sociedade de controle” em que estamos inseridos, muitas vezes quase sem perceber.

Associação entre posicionamento do aluno na sala de aula e desempenho escolar

This research was aimed at analyzing whether there is an association between the positioning of the pupil in the classroom and his academic performance, as well as to diagnose the main factors underlying the association. Thus, this study analyzed 4 Elementary School II institutions of both public and private educational systems, in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil during a school year bimester. To register the positions students were seated, 29 similar classes (containing 6 rows x 6 columns) were investigated, each one with around 30 students, which resulted in a sampling of 859 students. For the questionnaire application, which objective was to verify the main reason for students’ seat choice, the same 29 classes were investigated. However, the sampling number was reduced to 692 students. In turn, for the collection of school performance and absence percentage of each student for the bimester in question, teachers’ evaluation books were used. As a result, it was found that the lower the percentage of the student's absences, the greater is their performance at school, and the greater their performance at school is, the closer up front to the board they are seated. Finally, the closer up to the board they are seated, the more their motivation and interest in learning increase. Therefore, there is an association between the position of a student in the classroom and his or her academic performance, where the association is conditioned by the motivation and interest in learning

Redução do tempo de setup de máquinas de usinagem em uma industria automobilística

Continuous improvement of industrial processes is one way to become companies more competitive in the market. For this, a fairly widespread use is the methodology of lean production systems, by eliminating waste. One of the tools of these systems is the method of rapid exchange of die or also called SMED, which will be applied in this study. The study aims to develop proposals for reducing the time of set up of two machines in two machining lines, watching also the ergonomics and safety conditions in this operations. The set up time reduction is justified among others, due to increase the machine productivity. In applying the connecting rod machining line, there were two types of exchange. Reductions in time to set up proposals reached values of 47% to one of them, and 55% to the other. It is important to underline that to reach this result, there was no need for large investments. In the application in block machining line, was developed an improvement in the ergonomic area. It was placed a pulley block that came to increase the time of tool change. Aiming to improve the security of the exchange, without productivity loss, the method was applied to reduce this time. It was developed two proposals.: the first would reduce that time by 19%, and does not require many resources of the company. The second involves the parallelization of the exchange, so that the reduction is 48%. However, this proposal requires one more manpower at the time of exchange and it is not always possible

Estudo da deposição de energia das radiofrequências através do método das diferenças finitas dependentes do tempo Monografia

Radiotherapy in veterinary practice is already known and widely distributed in large specialized centers of developed countries. In early 2000, there were about 30 radiotherapy equipment specifically designed for the veterinary clinic in the United States. In Brazil, the veterinary radiotherapy is still confined to research in universities, where most of the procedures is radiation therapy performed with superficial x-ray machines, with a voltage between 50 and 150 kVp, focus-distance surface (DFS) between 20,0cm and 40,0cm. As that occurs in human medicine, new research strengthens the development and prospects for the use of radiotherapy as a safe option for treating cancer in animals. This paper presents a methodology for calculating the exposure time for superficial radiotherapy procedures in veterinary medicine for small animals (dogs and cats). The dosimetric parameters of X-rays are determined using a spreadsheet tool for Microsoft Office Excel, developed in this paper for a device Dermopan 2, Veterinary Hospital of UNESP in Araçatuba. Using the worksheet helps the veterinarian to determine the time of exposure to radiation determined for each clinical case, optimize the workflow for professionals in veterinary radiotherapy procedures, which often lack the medical physics in team and at the time of radiotherapy. The correct use of spreadsheet decreases the chances of errors in dose rates of radiation, providing a higher quality of care

Clonagem de sequências codificantes de citocinas felinas para construção de curva padrão para PCR em tempo real

A quantificação de citocinas felinas possibilita uma avaliação do sistema imune do animal em diferentes doenças, permite também a identificação de diferentes fatores que alteram sua secreção, e colabora na compreensão da patogênese das enfermidades. Em humanos e camundongos essa mensuração é feita principalmente pelo método de ELISA, mas para os felinos há uma menor disponibilidade de kits específicos para determinadas citocinas, e estes possuem um custo elevado. Assim, uma alternativa é utilizar a reação de PCR em tempo real com transcrição reversa (RT-qPCR) para quantificação absoluta dos RNAs mensageiros das citocinas felinas, uma técnica bastante sensível e específica para analisar a expressão desses genes. Com esse intuito, esse trabalho teve como objetivo clonar as sequências gênicas codificantes de citocinas, para construir uma curva padrão para a qPCR. Assim, foi feita extração de RNA de amostras de sangue total de gatos domésticos, e estes foram tratados com DNAse para evitar contaminação por DNA genômico. O cDNA foi sintetizado, e amplificado com os primers específicos para cada fragmento codificante de citocina e o GAPDH felino. Cada amplicon purificado foi inserido em um plasmídeo comercial, e introduzido em bactérias E. coli cepa DH5. Os clones recombinantes foram sequenciados para confirmar a inserção do fragmento no vetor. As curvas padrão da qPCR foram construídas com cada plasmídeo recombinante numa de 106 a 101 cópias por reação. O sequenciamento mostrou que todos os clones eram semelhantes àqueles encontrados no GenBank. A eficiência das amplificações, baseado no slope das curvas padrão foram: 101,3% para GAPDH, 99,1% para IL-1, 83,2% para IL-6, 94,4% para IL-10, 105,5% para IL-12, 83,4% para IFN- e 83,8% para TNF-. O valor de r2 foi de 0,99 em todas as reações. Dessa forma, com a clonagem dos fragmentos... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

This case study shows that only with standardization and use of inexpensive improvements, could reduce setup time on a machine for 70 minutes to time of approximately 48 minutes with little investment, demonstrating the viability of the tool presented

A relação professor-aluno: uma discussão a partir das memórias, da configuração da escola e das teorias pedagógicas

Para iniciar a escrita do TCC, foi elaborado um memorial onde resgato memórias de minha infância, meu ingresso na escola, até os dias de hoje, no intuito de falar da influência que a relação professor-aluno teve em minha formação. Dessa forma, observei a força dessas memórias. No diálogo com Benjamin, discuto a importância da escrita do memorial e do registro de nossa história. Num segundo momento investigo a configuração da escola e as diferentes tendências pedagógicas para, a partir de diferentes teóricos, compreender como é concebida a relação professoraluno na escola. Valendo-me da literatura analiso alguns contos onde autores consagrados falam de suas lembranças na relação com seus mestres ou professores. Assim, procurei estabelecer um diálogo entre minha história pessoal com autores teóricos que tratam da configuração da escola e das tendências pedagógicas e, outros do campo da literatura. Por fim, apresento conclusões e sugestões para se pensar na relação professor-aluno, na sala de aula, a partir da reciprocidade.

Motivação para a prática da natação competitiva

A prática esportiva oferece excelentes oportunidades para o enfrentamento de desafios, desenvolver habilidades, planejar metas a serem atingidas e participar de atividades variadas e complexas. Saber o que leva as crianças e os adolescentes à prática da atividade esportiva é importante, para que sejam criadas melhores estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem e para que o aluno mantenha-se motivado naquela modalidade, visto que aprendizagem e motivação são independentes no ser humano, sendo a motivação um dos temas mais abordados em Psicologia do Esporte. A natação é considerada um dos esportes mais completos, por trabalhar praticamente toda a musculatura ao mesmo tempo, além de auxiliar na melhoria da capacidade respisratória do praticante. Sendo assim, os objetivos do presente estudo foram analisar a relação entre motivação e natação, evidenciando os motivos que levam à prática da natação, tanto por crianças, jovens e adultos, verificar as razões pelas quais nadadores se mantém firmes em seus objetivos e indagas as causas da desistência de nadadores competitivos...
