Jean de La Taille e Gil Vicente: dois casos de paratexto imagético

Propor à leitura dois paratextos imagéticos: o retrato de Jean de La Taille, composto de um medalhão oval que contém um epigrama, e a imagem in absentia de Gil Vicente, que se apresenta sob a forma de um enquadramento retangular do qual participam motivos ornamentais e igualmente um epigrama. A leitura destas imagens autorais apresenta a hipótese de uma representação visual, ou mesmo icônica, da atitude literária de dois dramaturgos que se apresentam ao leitor, ao mesmo tempo em que se presentificam, a fim de indicar a maneira mais conveniente de se aproximar da obra - processo essencialmente retórico conhecido sob a apelação de captatio benevolentiae. Palavras-chave: Retrato; paratexto; imagem; representação; interpelação; persuasão; figuração.

A gramática da derivação sufixal: três casos exemplares

Trata-se de uma proposta de análise de derivação sufixai em português, que se contrapõe ao tratamento dado pelas gramáticas tradicionais. São estudados três casos considerados exemplares, em função de sua afinidade semântica, de acordo com a classe e subclasse de palavras a que se aplica cada sufixo, ordem e posição na estrutura da palavra, produtividade e valores semânticos. Verifica-se que a escolha entre um e outro sufixo não é aleatória, mas motivada pela necessidade argumentativa.

Esverdeando a manufatura: dos fundamentos conceituais ao estudo de múltiplos casos

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the integration of environmental issues in the context of manufacturing function/production (or operations), which is considered the organizational area that should lead corporate environmental management. We present a background on the greening of the manufacturing area, especially in terms of product development, process, quality management and logistics. Four case studies of Brazilian companies are presented as part of the study, and it is found that the maturity level of these companies' environmental management tends to follow the degree to which the environment has been inserted into subareas of production, especially in the process of product development. However, difficulties encountered in greening a company's logistics activities are also recognized in most cases. It is concluded that companies can overcome this challenge by adopting new concepts of green supply chain management. The notes highlight the observed distance between arguments in the international literature and the reality of Brazilian companies on the greening of manufacturing aspects.

Análise do apoio dos sistemas de informação para as práticas de gestão ambiental em empresas com ISO 14001 - estudo de múltiplos casos

The purpose of this article is to identify the contributions of Information Systems (IS) for environmental management practices, as well as the opportunities and challenges in this relation. Thus, we performed two case studies with Brazilian enterprises certified ISO 14001, by conducting interviews, document analysis and direct observation. As results, we present the identification of the main contributions of information systems for environmental management practices in the studied cases, the verification that a more advanced stage regarding IS is a factor that implies a more effective contribution, besides finding challenges and opportunities in this relation. The main contribution of this research consists of the presentation of a framework that identifies the support of information systems for environmental practices.

Padronização e melhoria de processos produtivos em empresas de panificação: estudo de múltiplos casos

An important tool for organizational change is the standardization of procedures for developing standards so that companies have greater control, thus providing a broad view of their processes and needs. This paper presents and analyzes a model of standard processes developed by the bakeries in PROPAN (Support Programme Bakery), detailing each stage of deployment to evaluate both its benefits for companies and employees and its shortcomings, to make proposals for improvements. Five bakeries were selected for this multi-case study, whose methodology consists of qualitative research using semi-structured interviews, on-site observations and document analysis. The main positive points of the model are the possibility of standardized recipes and procedures, a large decrease in wasted raw material and a significant increase in worker productivity. The main challenges are the lack of employee and owner commitment to the project, the lack of materials needed for deployment and the resistance of employees to change.

Utilização da técnica de imuno-histoquímica para confirmar casos de pitiose cutânea equina diagnosticados por meio de caracterização clínica e avaliação histopatológica

Twelve granulomatous lesions in the thoracic and pelvic limbs of horses from pantaneira breed were evaluated. It was performed suggestive diagnostic of cutaneous pythiosis according to the clinic characteristics of the lesions and histopathological exams using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Grocott's methenamine silver (GMS) stains. The confirmation of the diagnoses was performed by the labelled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) method (immunohistochemistry). Extensive focal pyogranulomatous dermatitis associated with pseudo hyphae characteristic of Pythium insidiosum (subcutaneous pythiosis) was the histopathological diagnosis for all 12 horses used in this study. It was confirmed in 100% of the cases by the positive result to Pythium insidiosum in the immunohistochemistry exam, characterized by the visualization of branched and septated structures. It was observed 100% of parity between the techniques. We can conclude that clinical characterization of the granulomatous lesions with pythiosis aspects in horses associated with histopathology suggestive of equine pythiosis constitute a reliable method of diagnostic that can be confirmed by immunohistochemistry technique.

Planejamento protético para pacientes adultos portadores de fissura labiopalatal congênita, que não obtiveram oportunidade de um tratamento reabilitador ideal: execução de casos clínicos para pacientes selecionados

Although one cannot prevent the birth of human beings with cleft palate lesions one can adopt attitudes and various procedures entirely viable to rehabilitate and recuperate these persons through a team work composed of the facilities of a hospital, physician, dentist, psychotherapist, epeech pathologist, pedagogue and a social worker. In order to reduce the suffering of these patients we took up this work to prove that even if not in an ideal manner nevertheleses in an acceptable one we can reintegrate these persons to their families, friends and social milieu, offering them more security in their social, psychic and human relationships. We have made a review of the literature during the last three decades where we found many possibilities of prosthetic recuperations which concerns esthetics, mastication and maxillomandibular relationships beyond allowing these pacients conditions to perform satisfactory the functions of deglution and speech. We have selected and executed 5 clinical cases out of 15 pacients formely choosen looking to different prosthetic plannings. We have also shown the major contribution that the osseous integrated implants can offer to the rehabilitation and recuperation of pacients whith congenitall labio palatal lesions. To simplify the understanding we tried to discuss the most varied types of prosthesis in well defined subjects having a separate approach for each of them and we still showed that the specificity of each case leads to a specific type of rehabilitation founded om esthetics, occlusion, osseous suport, edentulous space, and above all based in the common sense and Professional integrity

Efeitos da Reeducação Postural Global na Hipercifose e nas Variáveis Respiratórias de Idosos Relato de Dois Casos

Examine the effects Global Postural Reeducation, (GPR) in hyperkyphosis and respiratory variables in the elderly was the objective in the research. For this, two elderly participated, one is 62 years old (voluntary 1) and another is 66 years old (voluntary 2), without lung, heart, kidney and/or skeletal-muscle diseases diagnosed. The volunteer have been assessed for Quality of Life (QOL) through the questionnaire SF-36, the degree of toracic kyphosis, the muscular respiratory strength and the thoracic-abdominal mobility. The GRP treatment consisted in eight sessions applied, once one hour each session. After the eight sessions the volunteer were reevaluated. The data concerning assessments before and after treatment were analysed describly. According to the results there was an improvement in the degree of kyphosis in both volunteers, highlighting voluntary 2. Respiratory variables also improvements after treatment. In relation to the Quality of life in most areas there has been an increase in scores indicating improved QOL. These data showed that the GPR has been effective to decrease the level of kyphosis, improves respiratory variables and the quality of life in the elderly treated. However, further work with a greater number of subjects must be carried out to analyze the effectiveness of therapy in the elderly.

Síndrome de Cornélia de Lange: relato de dois casos com variabilidade clínica

O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar dois casos de pacientes com síndrome de Cornelia de Lange, comparando seus quadros clínicos com os achados da literatura e ressaltando a variabilidade fenotípica existente que, eventualmente, pode dificultar o diagnóstico. São apresentados os relatos de dois pacientes com a síndrome. No primeiro caso a criança tem um quadro típico clássico, enquanto a segunda apresenta uma forma moderada da síndrome. O diagnóstico da síndrome de Cornelia de Lange é eminentemente clínico. A despeito de três genes terem sido identificados como possíveis causadores dessa síndrome, exames moleculares para confirmação diagnóstica não estão disponíveis na prática médica cotidiana e, mesmo quando factíveis, podem não confirmar uma suspeita clínica. Neste artigo se discutem as distintas apresentações fenotípicas da síndrome e os critérios clínicos mínimos necessários para confirmação diagnóstica.
