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.

Revista Gil Blas e o nacionalismo de combate (1919-1923)

O livro analisa a revista Gil Blas, fundada por Álvaro Bomilcar e Alcebiades Delamare em 1919, no Rio de Janeiro, e cuja importância histórica reside principalmente no extremado nacionalismo de sua linha editorial. Em quatro anos, foram publicadas 164 edições da revista, que passou por várias fases, caracterizadas por propostas nacionalistas diversas, as quais imprimiram um caráter bastante dinâmico a seus objetivos. A publicação alcançou tamanha relevância em sua época que chegou a servir como porta voz do governo Epitácio Pessoa (1919-1923) e a reunir o que se tornaria o arcabouço das várias concepções nacionalistas que vigorariam ao longo da década de 1920. O objetivo deste trabalho foi, principalmente, distinguir os projetos defendidos nas páginas da revista e, ainda, esclarecer se havia consonância entre seu ecletismo e seu posicionamento político e doutrinário. O autor também se debruça sobre o projeto temático-editorial da revista, que continha grande diversidade de seções e artigos, cobrindo as mais diferentes áreas, de esporte e literatura a política, passando pelas questões relativas ao operariado, quase sempre com viés nacionalista que beirava a xenofobia

Think: guia de desenvolvimento mobile ágil em equipes reduzidas

Currently, applications for smartphones and tablets, called apps, are becoming increasingly relevant and attract more attention from users and finally the developers. With the Application Stores, services provided by the company that maintains the platform, access to such applications is as or more simplified than to web sites, with the advantage of anenhanced user experience and focused on the mobile device, and enjoy natives resources as camera, audio, storage, integration with other applications, etc. They present a great opportunity for independent developers, who can now develop an application and make it availabl e to all users of that platform, at free or at a cost that is usually low. Even students may create their applications in the intervals of their classes and sell them in stores. Making use of tools and services, free or at low cost, anyone can develop quality applications, that can be marketed and have a large number of users even in adverse situations in which the application is not the focus of developer productivity. However, such to ols do not seem to be well used, or are unknown, or its purpose is not considered important, and this paper tries to show the real importance of these tools in the rapid development of quality software. This project presents several tools, services and practices, which together make it possible to develop an application for various mobile platforms, independently and with a team of a few people, as demonstrated. However, this paper aims not to say that the development of software today it is easy and simple, but there are currently a large set of tools, for various platforms, that assists and enhances the work of the programmer

Abordagem scrum de gerenciamento ágil para desenvolvimento de novos produtos aplicada a área de ensaios de uma fabricante de aeronaves

There are many approaches and techniques about Administration and Management of Projects in order to provide greater agility, efficiency and transparency during the development process of new products. Simultaneously, a pursuit for a management approach more flexible in its planning and strategic changes during the development campaign, such as, comprehend the project's unpredictability level and deal it by monitoring and estimates tools. These features tend to accentuate itself in manufacturers of complex products, as aircraft and other aerospace technologies. By these conditions thus research aims to describe a case when the Agile Management Processing of Project Development Scrum was used in the Test area of an aircraft manufacturer. Focused on the Scrum implementation over the area, its adaptation, evolution and achievements the research proposes to analyze the improvements, indicate the obstacles and discuss solutions, contributing then to the theoretical basis of the considered theme and futures updates applicable to the area. The research is classified as qualitative; furthermore the information and data analyzed were obtained by interviews with professionals and observations of the processes from the major aircraft manufacturer

Strategies to improve the mechanical properties of starch-based materials: plasticization and natural fibers reinforcement

Biodegradable polymers are starting to be introduced as raw materials in the food-packaging market. Nevertheless, their price is very high. Starch, a fully biodegradable and bioderived polymer is a very interesting alternative due to its very low price. However, the use of starch as the polymer matrix for the production of rigid food packaging, such as trays, is limited due to its poor mechanical properties, high hidrophilicity and high density. This work presents two strategies to overcome the poor mechanical properties of starch. First, the plasticization of starch with several amounts of glycerol to produce thermoplastic starch (TPS) and second, the production of biocomposites by reinforcing TPS with promising fibers, such as barley straw and grape waste. The mechanical properties obtained are compared with the values predicted by models used in the field of composites; law of mixtures, Kerner-Nielsen and Halpin-Tsai. To evaluate if the materials developed are suitable for the production of food-packaging trays, the TPS-based materials with better mechanical properties were compared with commercial grades of oil-based polymers, polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene-terphthalate (PET), and a biodegradable polymer, polylactic acid (PLA).
