Trailer: análise da linguagem utilizada por esta peça publicitária cinematográfica

This final project intends to discourse about the cinematographic publicity piece that is the trailer and its main features. Its relation with the publicity is studied so we can understand how this relation occurs, once the trailer is found in between the cinema and the publicity. The trailer features are exposed, such as the persuasive features, so it becomes evident the importance of studying this advertising tool from a broad perspective. In addition, we seek to determine its aesthetics, its compositional characteristics and their relevance in movie marketing. The paper discusses briefly about the universe of the movie marketing, as a way of situating the trailer as a tool in a set of publicity techniques that help in selling movies. A case study is conducted, involving the analysis of 5 trailers from different categories of gender, in order to capture the essence of the overall trailer, such from the persuasive perspective as the audiovisual perspective. Finally the is the addition of a current universe of characteristics that can be found in the contemporary trailers, grounded by theorists and film scholars that accompanied the evolution of this advertising tool

This way adopts a human feature to the managing process, respecting the technical-informational scenario of this area

A aglomeração urbana de Piracicaba: uma análise da integração funcional entre os municípios sob a ótica do movimento pendular

The growth area of cities has resulted in a phenomenon of conurbation (or expressing tendency). This correspond to a combine of two or more urban cores, there are formations of conurbations. In this way, there are the formations of urban concentrations and can achieve the step metropolitan or not metropolitan. Besides, this kind of expansion generates many social and environmental problems related about habitation, rubbish, drain, and others. Piracicaba, a city in expansion, recently, shows evidences of conurbation not metropolitan around itself. Like this, the paulista government, at June, 26 of 2012, institutionalized the Urban Concentration of Piracicaba, a regional unity, intending the administration along with 22 cities. However, for this fact, must be taken into account functional integration among urban centers, because the number of municipalities are presented to compose a urban concentration of level not metropolitan. It has checked along this research, according with proposition about 22 cities. Thus, the objective of this research is identify and analyze the functional integration among participating municipalities through the commuting, in other words, the spatial displacement of people, important factor to be taken into account when defining urban concentration. Considering the displacement routine people, the commuting, also aimed identify the flow of public transport intercity travel among the cities of Piracicaba Regional Unity. Then, analyze the criteria used for establish the Piracicaba Regional Unity, if it was considered technical character or if it was prioritized the political character. To conduct this research, it was done the literature review related to the theme and data collection related lines of intercity transportation and often travel with ARTESP and companies responsible for it service

Sob o olhar do fotógrafo: quadrinhos e fotografia na narrativa jornalística

O jornalismo se estabeleceu no meio impresso (jornais e revistas) com textos tradicionais e, muitas vezes reféns do lide. A junção de fotografia e quadrinhos ainda é embrionária, mas surge como um recurso para a inovação do jornalismo, já tão dependente de antigos formatos. Nesta monografia, a obra O Fotógrafo é analisada para observar como essas mídias, quadrinhos e fotografia, podem servir de plataforma para uma narrativa jornalística. Em 1986 o fotojornalista Didier Lefèvre viajou ao Afeganistão para acompanhar a caravana de uma equipe da organização Médicos Sem Fronteiras. O intuito era fotografar o trabalho da ONG e revelar a situação do povo afegão em meio à invasão soviética, que durou 10 anos. Na época, seis fotos, de quatro mil, foram publicadas. Treze anos depois, o quadrinista Emmanuel Guibert sugeriu que a história, já esquecida dentro de caixas, virasse livro. Assim nasceu O Fotógrafo, uma obra em quadrinhos, mas que incorpora as fotografias de Lefèvre e seu relato jornalístico das consequências do conflito no país. Por diversas características, a história será analisada pelo viés do jornalismo gonzo e, ainda, do new journalism

A leitura na perspectiva de Bakhtin e suas possibilidades na formação do leitor: na educação infantil e no primeiro ano do ensino fundamental

Overall, in Brazilian schools, the concept of reading does not take into account its possibilities and its meaning for life. But read is assigning meaning to something , make sense, interact with the text read. Thus, the present study addresses the mechanical reading, that without contextualization, performed on a technique by joining letters and syllables loose and also reading social use, consisting of statements, dialogism , polyphony and heteroglossy. It is known that the mechanical reading brings undesirable consequences, including learning problems, such as lack of attention, concentration, memory, imagination. When the reading is taught in a systematic way, with only the goal of the code decoding of written language, destroys social perspectives and intellectual development. It is common, when you offer the children a book, there the difficult disinterest of textual interpretation, because there is no attribute meaning to the content, and even the ability to interact with the text. With the interest in studying the dialogic reading this and the statements and genres, the present study was based on several authors: Bakhtin (1988, 2000), Schneuwly and Dolz (2000), Faraco (2009) and Ponzio (2009) Jolibert (1994), Bajard (2002; 2007) Foucambert (1997) Martins ( 1985) and Smith ( 1999). Aim for this study the following research question: what are the contributions of Mikhail Bakhtin's theory to the teaching of reading from kindergarten through the first grade of elementary school? Our hypothesis is that if they are guaranteed to pre -school and elementary school beginners diversified materials and new approaches in teaching reading and encouragement to her, will be developed in children a taste for the act of reading, so that they can assign meaning and significance, making reading part of their lives...

Estudo in vitro da anatomia das projeções de esmalte cervical em dentes molares

The cervical enamel projection (CEP) is an anatomic variation that can be found in the cement enamel junction, it´s recognition and early diagnosis improves outcome the tooth involved, allowing greater efficiency in treatment. The knowledge of the location, grade and incidence of CEP is decisive on prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. It were studied 1200 molars (600 mandibular molars and 600 maxillary molars) separated from the collection of teeth on the Discipline of Anatomy in FOSJCampos - UNESP. Each group of 600 teeth was separated from the second side (300 teeth) and the second type (first, second or third molar). Each tooth had thoroughly inspected the cervical region, in all their faces, in order to verify the incidence and the grade of CEP in each surface. It was found that the CEP covered in 278 (23,17%) teeth was 146 (52,52%) mandibular molars and 132 (47,48%) maxillary molars. The CEPs were concentrated on a tooth surface in 222 (79,86%) teeth, in two surfaces 53 (19,06%) teeth, and in three surfaces in three (1,08%) teeth. From the total of 4.800 surfaces examined the CEPs were found in 337 surfaces, and 228 (67,66%) surfaces of the grade I, 60 (17,8%) grade II and 49 (14,54%) grade III. The buccal surface presented 207 (61,42%) CEP, the lingual surface in 57 (16,91%), the mesial surface in 35 (10,39%) and the distal surface in 38 (11,28%) CEP. The results of this study demonstrated that the CEPs have focused more on the mandibular teeth on only one surface of the tooth, the grade I was the most found and the buccal surface the most involved

Vila Vertical: moradia estudantil

Este trabalho visa explorar o tema da sustentabilidade, procurando levantar os conceitos e ideais implicítos neste termo, que muitas vezes é disseminado de modo vago e impreciso, o que leva, consequentemente, à banalização do termo, e a perda do sentido real da palavra. É feita a análise e crítica daquilo que é rotulado, ou se auto intitula como sustentável, levando em consideração os padrões estabelecidos por órgãos regulamentadores responsáveis por conceder certificações de caráter sustentável (como por exemplo o Green Building Council e a Fundação Vanzolini) e os conceitos estabelecidos por autores que também exploram o tema. Com base nisso é feita a leitura de alguns projetos que atuam em diversas vertentes, mas que porém, têm como base o mesmo objetido. Assim são analisadas as soluções apresentadas, e os aspectos que fazem daqueles projetos relevantes para a busca da sustentabilidade. Através da junção e da reflexão de todas as informações coletadas, foi gerado o conceito e as diretrizes que servirão de base para o desenvolvimento do projeto, desde a escolha da área a ser trabalhada, ao programa de necessidades e à volumetria das edificações

Expressão gênica dos receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina (nAChR) e caracterização morfológica das junções neuromusculares em músculo esquelético de ratos com insuficiência cardíaca

A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) está associada à miopatia dos músculos esqueléticos com aumento da expressão das isoformas rápidas da cadeia pesada de miosina e alterações na matriz extracelular. Os fatores de regulação miogência(MRF),como a MyoD e MRF4, pertecem a uma família de fatores transcricionais que controlam vários genes músculo-específicos.Esses fatores forma heterodímeros com proteínas HLH e ligam-se a seqüências de DNA conhecidas como Ebox, presentes na região promotora de vários genes músculo–específicos, incluindo todos aqueles que codificam as subunidades dos receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina (nAChR) da junção neuromuscular (JNM). Baseado no fato de que na IC há uma diminuição na expressão da MyoD e MRF4 no músculo sóleo de ratos com IC induzida por monocrotalina, o objetivo do presente trabalho é verificar possíveis alterações na expressão dos receptores de acetilcolina, bem como realizar uma análise morfológica e morfométrica das JNMs. Neste estudo foram utilizados ratos Wistar, machos, divididos em grupos controle e experimental e a Insuficiência cardíaca (IC) foi induzida pela injeção de monocrotalina intra-peritoneal.Quando os sintomas de IC foram visualizados (após 22 dias) os animais foram sacrificados pentobarbital sódico i.p. (50 mg/Kg). A seguir foram mensurados o peso corporal (PC) dos ratos, bem como outros parâmetros. O músculo sóleo de ambos os antímeros foram dissecados e preparados para: avaliação da expressão gênica das subunidades ε, γ e α dos receptores de acetilcolina por PCR em Tempo Real; para análise morfológica e morfométrica da Junção Neuromuscular através da técnica de Esterase inespecífica; para análise ultra-estrutural da JN. Os resultados indicam que não houveram alterações morfológicas e morfométricas na JN, mas houve um aumento... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Distribuição de tensões em bocais de vasos de pressão

This work is to analyze the behavior of context concentrated stresses generated around a nozzle connected to a pressure vessel. For this analysis we used the finite element method via a computer interface, the software ANSYS WORKBENCH. It was first necessary to study and intensive training of the software used, and also a study of the ASME Code, Section VIII, which is responsible for the standards used in pressure vessels. We analyzed three cases, which differ primarily in the variation of the diameter of the nozzle in order to analyze the variation of the stresses according to the variation of the diameters. The nozzle diameters were 35, 75 and 105 mm. After the model designed vessel, a pressure was applied on the innervessel of 0.5 MPa. For the smallest diameter, was found the lowest tensions concentrated. Varying between 1 and 223 MPa. Increasing the diameter of the nozzle resulted in increased tensions concentrated around the junction nozzle /vessel. The maximum stresses increased by 78% when the value was increased in diameter from 35 to 75 mm. Since the increase in diameter from 75 to 105 mm, the values of the tensions increased around 43%. These figures emphasize that stress concentrations increased with increasing the diameter of the nozzles, but not linearly

Flutuação e gramaticalização no paradigma dos juntores em português forma, significado e história de (na) hora que

In this paper, I focus on one type of grammatical change consisting of creating periphrastic junctures from nominal sources used in relative clause contexts. This is a periphrase production mechanism that has been increasing the unstable paradigm of junctures and helping delineate Portuguese language grammar. One construction resulting from this mechanism is (na) hora que, in relation to which I propose to investigate form, meaning and history. The central aim is to show the emergence of (na) hora que, a grammaticalization instance in course, in which it is possible to catch stages of the its gradual constitution process, concerning both the syntagmatic reorganization of items with consequent morphological losses, and the constitution of meanings, with the origin of polysemies, pointing to a directionality grounded on the increase of the cognitive complexity

A causalidade de porque em textos escolares: domínios de atuação, gêneros de produção

In this article we address the causality conveyed by constructions with porque in compositions written by students from a public school. Our purpose is to compare factors of cognitive and discursive order for examining possible motivations related to the variability and to the complexity involved in causal constructions. The analysis that we propose assumes that porque may have different interpretations depending on the context of use and may indicate the cause of an actual event, or the cause of a belief, or the cause of a speech act. We consider some theses of ontogenetic nature that support that the most cognitively complex meanings appear later, but we hold that there are other issues at stake. In what follows, we present evidence that the emergence of different causal relations with porque also takes place as a result of the operation of discourse genres.
