L’objet de ce travail de recherche est de mettre en dialogue les œuvres de Hans-Georg Gadamer et de Paul Ricœur afin de mettre au jour ce qui caractérise en propre la conception herméneutique du langage et d’en souligner la pertinence. Notre thèse principale est que, pour ce faire, il est impératif de dépasser les lectures dichotomiques des deux œuvres par une interprétation plus dialectique, puisque seule une telle démarche paraît susceptible de saisir l’étendue, la richesse et l’importance de l’intelligence herméneutique du phénomène langagier. Ainsi, dans ce travail, nous défendrons l’idée que, par-delà leurs différences incontestables, précieuses en elles-mêmes car sans elles il n’est pas de dialogue, les herméneutiques de Gadamer et Ricœur se distinguent par une réflexion philosophique incessante sur notre appartenance fondamentale au langage, qui constitue le cœur de la conception herméneutique du langage. Nous proposerons une confrontation des philosophies de Gadamer et Ricœur s’effectuant principalement autour d’une dialectique entre appartenance et distanciation, dans laquelle des approches plus objectivantes du langage pourront s’articuler à une description de notre expérience vécue. Avant de décrire cette dialectique pour elle-même, il nous est apparu indiqué de tenir compte de l’héritage phénoménologique incontournable à partir duquel Gadamer et Ricœur ont développé leurs approches respectives du langage. Cette base nous permettra de faire ressortir l’existence d’un accord de fond entre les deux herméneutiques sur la reconnaissance de notre irréductible appartenance au langage. Cette thèse n’exclut pas la possibilité, voire la nécessité d’intégrer dialectiquement un moment de distanciation au sein de cette appartenance primordiale. Nous montrerons en effet que c’est en s’appuyant sur cette distanciation que, par un mouvement réflexif, la pensée herméneutique peut revenir sur notre expérience langagière pour la thématiser et l’expliciter. Cette réflexion sur le langage s’effectue à partir de trois principaux modèles : ceux du dialogue, du texte et de la traduction. Nous exposerons comment chacun de ces modèles contribue à une meilleure compréhension de la vie du langage et de notre rapport au sens. Ceci nous conduira à examiner les efforts de Gadamer et Ricœur visant à mettre en lumière la puissance créatrice qui anime le langage, telle qu’elle ressort de leurs nombreux travaux sur la métaphore, le dire poétique et le récit. Nous défendrons alors la thèse qu’une conception originale de l’imagination s’élabore à travers la réflexion herméneutique sur l’innovation sémantique et la métaphoricité essentielle du langage. Cette recherche se terminera par une analyse des conceptions gadamérienne et ricœurienne des rapports entre langage et expérience, ainsi que de la portée ontologique du langage. Il y aura ici lieu d’insister sur la thèse partagée par les deux herméneutes selon laquelle il importe de résister à toute hypostase ou absolutisation du langage et de constamment penser le langage comme offrant une ouverture sur l’être et la possibilité de dire ce qui est.

In a number of standard titrations, a volume of a monoprotic base MOH at a specific concentration is added to a volume of a monoprotic acid HA at a specific concentrations. Four different types of titration are possible, depending on whether the acid and base are strong or weak. A single unifying formula covering all four cases has been determined.

The present inquiry has as main objective to understand the process of formation of the international strategies of the exporting companies of fruits of the RN through the theory of the resource dependence. Aiming at to clarify as the companies they can carry through the process of internationalization through this theory had been study the behavior and economic theories of the process of internationalization of companies. Amongst the economic theories they are distinguished the eclectic paradigm of Dunning (1958), Vernon (1669) through the theory of the cycle of the product and Bucley and Casson (1979) with the theory of the international operations. In the mannering boarding they had been investigated the school of Upsala through Johanson and Valnhe (1977) with the concept of the increasing of the markets and in the distance psychic starts and the interaction of the purchaser-salesman of Hallen and Wiedersheim-Paul (1979). In this perspective it observes main the occured changes in the organization in function of this process, following the rules observed by the gradual ingression in the international market, having as base ways of entrances in the external market used by these companies, in view of the frist phase that the company presents of businesses. Ahead of you analyze of these theories the study searches to analyze the convergence of the concepts proclaimed for the theory of the dependence of resources (PFEFFER; SALANCIK, 1978). and strategies of internationalization of the companies. The research is characterized as qualitative case study which adopts and exploratory and analytical type, retrospective matrix. The adopted strategy is of case study and the unit of analysis consisting of the Finobrasa, pertaining company to the Vicunha Group. The main method of collection of data was halfstructuralized interview allied the documentary research that together had presented an empirical perspective of the internationalization process. The analysis and quarrel of the results understand the description and the interpretation of the one of the information through the technique of analyzes of content. Initially the historical of the exportation of fruits of the Rio Grande do Norte with the focus in the region Açu/Mossoró is presented and after that the information of the Finobrasa are presented as base of the study. The main events are identified that had constituted the phases of the strategical model of the company. It was observed that the dimensions most excellent amongst those proclaimed by the School of Uppsala had been the learning, staffs and the step-starts is sufficiently gifts in the reality of the company, as well as the aspects of strategical alliances since the consolidated relationship of the Vicunha Group create a more solid trajectory in the international market allied the conditions created windows of marked . One understands, therefore, that the investigated process still has base the theoretical theories of the internationalization strategies corroborating for the theoretical convergence of the rules proclaimed for the theory of the dependence of resources.

Coral snakes in the genus Micrurus are widely distributed in the Neotropics, with more than 50 species already described in this region. They are primarily ground or leaf litter dwellers, feed on snakes or other elongate vertebrates, and tend to reproduce during the rainy season. We present data on the biology of Micrurus pyrrhocryptus from two semideciduous forests of Mato Grosso do Sul state, western Brazil. Two snake species were consumed: the dipsadid Sibynomorphus lavillai and the typhlopid Typhlops brongersmianus. Sexual dimorphism is marked in M. pyrrhocryptus. with males attaining larger sizes and having longer tails. Activity was concentrated in the wet season, when reproduction occurs. The defensive behavior in this species is similar to that displayed by other Micron's, although less pronounced.

The venom proteome of Daboia russelli siamensis, a snake of medical importance in several Asian countries, was analysed by 2-D electrophoresis, subsequent MS/MS and enzymatic assays. The proteome comprises toxins from six protein families: serine proteinases, metalloproteinases, phospholipases A(2), L-amino acid oxidases, vascular endothelial growth factors and C-type lectin-like proteins. The venom toxin composition correlates with the clinical manifestation of the Russell's viper bite and explains pathological effects of the venom such as coagulopathy, oedema, hypotensive, necrotic and tissue damaging effects. The vast majority of toxins are potentially involved in coagulopathy and neurotoxic effects. The predominant venom components are proteinases capable of activating blood coagulation factors and promoting a rapid clotting of the blood, and neurotoxic phospholipase A(2)s. The analysis of the venom protein composition provides a catalogue of secreted toxins. The proteome of D. r. siamensis exhibits a lower level of toxin diversity than the proteomes of other viperid snakes. In comparison to the venoms of Vipera ammodytes ammodytes and Vipera ammodytes meridionalis, the venom from D. r. siamensis showed quantitative differences in the proteolytic, phospholipase A2, L-amino acid oxidase and alkaline phosphatase activities.

Estudou-se as alterações clínico-patológicas e laboratoriais em equinos, inoculados experimentalmente com a peçonha de Bothropoides jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu, Bothrops moojeni e Bothropoides neuwiedi, com a finalidade de fornecer subsídios para o diagnóstico do envenenamento pela picada dessas. Os venenos liofilizados foram diluídos em 1ml de solução fisiológica e administrados a seis equinos, por via subcutânea, nas doses de 0,5 e 1mg/kg (B. jararaca), 0,8 e 1,6mg/kg (B. jararacussu), 0,205mg/kg (B. moojeni) e 1mg/kg (B. neuwiedi). Todos os equinos, menos os que receberam o veneno de B. jararacussu, morreram. Os sinais clínicos iniciaram-se entre 8min e 2h10min após a inoculação. O período de evolução variou, nos quatro casos de êxito letal, de 24h41min a 70h41min, e nos dois equinos que se recuperaram foi de 16 dias. O quadro clínico, independente do tipo de veneno e das doses, caracterizou-se por aumento de volume no local da inoculação, arrastar da pinça do membro inoculado no solo, inquietação, apatia, diminuição da resposta aos estímulos externos, mucosas pálidas e hemorragias. Os exames laboratoriais revelaram anemia normocítica normocrômica com progressiva diminuição no número de hemácias, da hemoglobina e do hematócrito, e leucocitose por neutrofilia. Houve aumento de alamina aminotransferase, creatinaquinase, dehidrogenase láctica, ureia e glicose, bem como aumento do tempo de ativação da protrombina e do tempo de tromboplastina parcial ativada. Os achados de necropsia foram extensas hemorragias no tecido subcutâneo, com presença de sangue não coagulado e em boa parte associadas a edema (edema hemorrágico), que se estendia desde o local da inoculação até as regiões cervical, torácica, escapular e membro. Na periferia das áreas hemorrágicas havia predominantemente edema gelatinoso. Havia ainda presença de grande quantidade de líquido sanguinolento nas cavidades torácica, pericárdica e abdominal. Não foram encontradas alterações histológicas significativas.
