Estruturas sintático-discursivas em textos conversacionais

O texto discute a presença, em textos conversacionais, de diferentes modalidades de estruturas frasais (frases verbais, nominais, truncadas, e frases com sujeito elíptico). Também é discutido o papel das citadas modalidades na estruturação do texto conversacional.

Continuidade temática e referencial em textos conversacionais

Em textos conversacionais, o turno de fala é o espaço preferencial da manutenção da referência: os elementos anafóricos e os respectivos antecedentes figuram geralmente no mesmo turno. Por isso, a progressão temática, nessa modalidade de textos, ocorre em termos bastante genéricos; cada falante retoma o assunto da conversação, mas a ele acrescenta o próprio ponto de vista. Também se discute o fato de que as contribuições de cada falante não são aleatórias, mas seguem o princípio de cooperação de Grice e o conhecimento prévio partilhado pelos participantes do ato conversacional.

Tempos verbais: uma abordagem funcionalista

Partindo da hipótese de transitividade de Hopper & Thompson (1980), segundo a qual se mede a transitividade por uma série de traços e introduzindo algumas adaptações, decidimos analisar os dois pretéritos da língua portuguesa, o perfeito e o imperfeito, seguindo os parâmetros por eles apresentados. Para avaliar o grau de transitividade das orações em que se encontram esses dois tempos verbais, utilizamo-nos dos seguintes fatores: valor semântico do A1, que corresponde à agentividade, à volição e à kinesis, da hipótese de Hopper & Thompson, pessoa verbal, número de argumentos e grau de afetamento do A2 (objeto). Avaliamos o relacionamento entre esses vários fatores, que, na realidade, são parâmetros que medem o grau de transitividade, através de tabelas de freqüência, de cada um individualmente, por meio do programa Varbrul, bem como através do cruzamento de dados, pelo programa Crosstab. Procuramos relacionar os dados obtidos estatisticamente através de uma ótica discursiva. Constatamos haver relações entre o uso do perfeito e características de alta transitividade e o do imperfeito e traços de baixa transitividade, ligando-se o perfeito ao primeiro plano do discurso e o imperfeito ao segundo.

Cardiovascular risk and mortality in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing dialysis: sleep study, pulmonary function, respiratory mechanics, upper airway collapsibility, autonomic nervous activity, depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life: a prospective, double blind, randomized controlled clinical trial

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most serious public health problems. The increasing prevalence of CKD in developed and developing countries has led to a global epidemic. The hypothesis proposed is that patients undergoing dialysis would experience a marked negative influence on physiological variables of sleep and autonomic nervous system activity, compromising quality of life.Methods/Design: A prospective, consecutive, double blind, randomized controlled clinical trial is proposed to address the effect of dialysis on sleep, pulmonary function, respiratory mechanics, upper airway collapsibility, autonomic nervous activity, depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life in patients with CKD. The measurement protocol will include body weight (kg); height (cm); body mass index calculated as weight/height(2); circumferences (cm) of the neck, waist, and hip; heart and respiratory rates; blood pressures; Mallampati index; tonsil index; heart rate variability; maximum ventilatory pressures; negative expiratory pressure test, and polysomnography (sleep study), as well as the administration of specific questionnaires addressing sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life.Discussion: CKD is a major public health problem worldwide, and its incidence has increased in part by the increased life expectancy and increasing number of cases of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Sleep disorders are common in patients with renal insufficiency. Our hypothesis is that the weather weight gain due to volume overload observed during interdialytic period will influence the degree of collapsibility of the upper airway due to narrowing and predispose to upper airway occlusion during sleep, and to investigate the negative influences of haemodialysis in the physiological variables of sleep, and autonomic nervous system, and respiratory mechanics and thereby compromise the quality of life of patients.

Análise das propriedades físicas em estrutura do tecido ósseo de eqüinos

This project has several objectives: To determine medium values and variations of the density, porosity, humidity, shrinkage volume and the coefficient of mass attenuation of gamma radiation of 59,6 keV of the radioisotope 241Am, using samples of equine radio, in growth and adult. The samples of bones were supplied by the Department of Pathology of University of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics - UNESP campus Botucatu. Bones of the paws front left of two males were used. Of each bone ten samples were removed. Those samples were prepared to just obtain compact bony fabric, being submitted to the rehearsal of determination of the density by the immersion method in water and determination of the coefficient attenuation lineal for the method of attenuation of the radiation of the 241Am, also obtaining your humidity content. Still, they were obtained new samples starting from the ground samples and verified the density of the particles present in that, obtaining the medium value of the coefficient of mass attenuation. The results showed the medium values and significant statistical variations of the density, porosity, humidity, shrinkage volume and coefficient of mass attenuation of gamma radiation of 59, 6 keV of the radioisotope 241Am in the samples, establishing some relationships between of the certain physical parameters with biological aspects and possible existent influences between them

Silêncio e diálogo na poesia brasileira

This essay aims to contribute to a critical assessment of contemporary Brazilian poetry, investigating the relationship between two tendencies: minimalism that verges on silence of speech in Kléber Mantovani’s and Tarso de Melo’s poetry, and the dialogue with the tradition in Armando Freitas Filho’s, Fabiano Calixto’s and Iacyr Anderson Freitas’s poetry.

Reliability of peak O-2 uptake and O-2 uptake kinetics in step exercise tests in healthy subjects

To date little is known about the reliability of peak oxygen consumption (VO2pEAK) in incremental metronome paced step tests (1ST) and the reliability of on-kinetics VO2 has never been studied. We aimed to study the reliability of both tests. Eleven healthy subjects performed two ISTs until exhaustion. On two different days two duplicate 4 min constant metronome paced step tests (CST) were performed. VO2PEAK, mean response time (MRT) and phase II time constant (tau) were tested for reproducibility using the paired t-tests, in addition to the limits of agreement (LOA) and within subject coefficient of variation (COV). With a 95% LOA of 0.38 to 0.26 L min(-1), -8.7 to 9.1 s and -9.9 to 10.5 s they exhibit a COV of 3%, 4.5% and 6.9% for VO2PEAK, MRT and tau respectively. ST are sufficiently reliable for maximal and submaximal aerobic power assessments in healthy subjects and new studies of oxygen uptake kinetics in selected patient groups are warranted.
