Suicide rates have been rising all over the world. In Rio Grande do Norte state, a study carried out by Dutra (1999) investigated suicide rates among youngsters and found that in 1997 alone 244 cases of suicide attempt were registered. The author took an interest in studying this phenomenon among adolescents after reviewing Dutra s study and the technical literature on suicide. In addition to that, another topic caught her attention and raised new research questions: suicide attempts motivated by love, i.e., the end of a relationship, the fantasy of being abandoned by a partner. These have made the author to question how love manifested itself among adolescents and how it could become a reason for adolescents to give up their lives. Based on the data she analyzed and the research questions she developed, her research objective was to understand how adolescents who have attempted suicide because of love-related reasons have gone through this experience. The theoretical reference for the research was the Client-centered Therapy and more specifically, the construct self , according to Carl Rogers. The methodological strategy was inspired by the existential-phenomenological strategy. It used the narrative as a research instrument, inspired by the work of Walter Benjamim (1994) which was developed into a research strategy by Schmidt (1990). Four youngsters (three male and one female) have participated in this study. They have attempted suicide for love-related reasons during dolescence, when they were 12 to 18 years old. The interviews were recorded on cassette tapes, transcribed and literalized into narratives. The understanding of the narratives was based on the meanings that emerged from the youngsters speeches, as well as from the moments that touched the author. These moments highlighted the meaning of the experience of giving up life and the experience of love-based relationship as experienced by the youngsters. The study detected, among the adolescents who were interviewed, the existence of impulsiveness related to the suicide attempt. Also, the majority of the interviewees came from unstructured family backgrounds and had lost of one of their parents or had to face their parents divorce. The suicide was attempted by these youngsters through the ingestion of medicines. The research also revealed that the youngsters had regretted attempting suicide and felt guilty about it. With regards to their self-evaluation, the author observed that the youngsters had low self-esteem, negative perceptions about themselves and distorted views of themselves. These findings helped the author to reflect on the close relationship between the construct self and the suicide attempt. She also observed that a few factors, i.e., family context, education, social and cultural values, have influenced the way the youngsters perceived themselves . The results of this research confirm the idea that we have to understand the suicide attempt as a multi-determined phenomenon. This study contributed to the analysis and reflection on the factors that contribute to suicide attempts thus providing a foundation for the development of public health programs and policies to deal with this topic

The Borborema Province (BP) is a geologic domain located in Northeastern Brazil. The BP is limited at the south by the São Francisco craton, at the west by the Parnaíba basin, and both at the north and east by coastal sedimentary basins. Nonetheless the BP surface geology is well known, several key aspects of its evolution are still open, notably: i)its tectonic compartmentalization established after the Brasiliano orogenesis, ii) the architecture of its cretaceous continental margin, iii) the elastic properties of its lithosphere, and iv) the causes of magmatism and uplifting which occurred in the Cenozoic. In this thesis, a regional coverage of geophysical data (elevation, gravity, magnetic, geoid height, and surface wave global tomography) were integrated with surface geologic information aiming to attain a better understanding of the above questions. In the Riacho do Pontal belt and in the western sector of the Sergipano belt, the neoproterozoic suture of the collision of the Sul domain of the BP with the Sanfranciscana plate (SFP) is correlated with an expressive dipolar gravity anomaly. The positive lobule of this anomaly is due to the BP lower continental crust uplifting whilst the negative lobule is due to the supracrustal nappes overthrusting the SFP. In the eastern sector of the Sergipano belt, this dipolar gravity anomaly does not exist. However the suture still can be identified at the southern sector of the Marancó complex arc, alongside of the Porto da Folha shear zone, where the SFP N-S geophysical alignments are truncated. The boundary associated to the collision of the Ceará domain of the BP with the West African craton is also correlated with a dipolar gravity anomaly. The positive lobule of this anomaly coincides with the Sobral-Pedro II shear zone whilst the negative lobule is associated with the Santa Quitéria magmatic arc. Judging by their geophysical signatures, the major BP internal boundaries are: i)the western sector of the Pernambuco shear zone and the eastern continuation of this shear zone as the Congo shear zone, ii) the Patos shear zone, and iii) the Jaguaribe shear zone and its southwestern continuation as the Tatajuba shear zone. These boundaries divide the BP in five tectonic domains in the geophysical criteria: Sul, Transversal, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, and Médio Coreaú. The Sul domain is characterized by geophysical signatures associated with the BP and SFP collision. The fact that Congo shear zone is now proposed as part of the Transversal domain boundary implies an important change in the original definition of this domain. The Rio Grande do Norte domain presents a highly magnetized crust resulted from the superposition of precambrian and phanerozoic events. The Ceará domain is divided by the Senador Pompeu shear zone in two subdomains: the eastern one corresponds to the Orós-Jaguaribe belt and the western one to the Ceará-Central subdomain. The latter subdomain exhibits a positive ENE-W SW gravity anomaly which was associated to a crustal discontinuity. This discontinuity would have acted as a rampart against to the N-S Brasiliano orogenic nappes. The Médio Coreaú domain also presents a dipolar gravity anomaly. Its positive lobule is due to granulitic rocks whereas the negative one is caused by supracrustal rocks. The boundary between Médio Coreaú and Ceará domains can be traced below the Parnaíba basin sediments by its geophysical signature. The joint analysis of free air anomalies, free air admittances, and effective elastic thickness estimates (Te) revealed that the Brazilian East and Equatorial continental margins have quite different elastic properties. In the first one 10 km < Te < 20 km whereas in the second one Te ≤ 10 km. The weakness of the Equatorial margin lithosphere was caused by the cenozoic magmatism. The BP continental margin presents segmentations; some of them have inheritance from precambrian structures and domains. The segmentations conform markedly with some sedimentary basin features which are below described from south to north. The limit between Sergipe and Alagoas subbasins coincides with the suture between BP and SFP. Te estimates indicates concordantly that in Sergipe subbasin Te is around 20 km while Alagoas subbasin has Te around 10 km, thus revealing that the lithosphere in the Sergipe subbasin has a greater rigidity than the lithosphere in the Alagoas subbasin. Additionally inside the crust beneath Sergipe subbasin occurs a very dense body (underplating or crustal heritage?) which is not present in the crust beneath Alagoas subbasin. The continental margin of the Pernambuco basin (15 < Te < 25 km) presents a very distinct free air edge effect displaying two anomalies. This fact indicates the existence in the Pernambuco plateau of a relatively thick crust. In the Paraíba basin the free air edge effect is quite uniform, Te ≈ 15 km, and the lower crust is abnormally dense probably due to its alteration by a magmatic underplating in the Cenozoic. The Potiguar basin segmentation in three parts was corroborated by the Te estimates: in the Potiguar rift Te ≅ 5 km, in the Aracati platform Te ≅ 25 km, and in the Touros platform Te ≅ 10 km. The observed weakness of the lithosphere in the Potiguar rift segment is due to the high heat flux while the relatively high strength of the lithosphere in the Touros platform may be due to the existence of an archaean crust. The Ceará basin, in the region of Mundaú and Icaraí subbasins, presents a quite uniform free air edge effect and Te ranges from 10 to 15 km. The analysis of the Bouguer admittance revealed that isostasy in BP can be explained with an isostatic model where combined surface and buried loadings are present. The estimated ratio of the buried loading relative to the surface loading is equal to 15. In addition, the lower crust in BP is abnormally dense. These affirmations are particularly adequate to the northern portion of BP where adherence of the observed data to the isostatic model is quite good. Using the same above described isostatic model to calculate the coherence function, it was obtained that a single Te estimate for the entire BP must be lower than 60 km; in addition, the BP north portion has Te around 20 km. Using the conventional elastic flexural model to isostasy, an inversion of crust thickness was performed. It was identified two regions in BP where the crust is thickened: one below the Borborema plateau (associated to an uplifting in the Cenozoic) and the other one in the Ceará domain beneath the Santa Quitéria magmatic arc (a residue associated to the Brasiliano orogenesis). On the other hand, along the Cariri-Potiguar trend, the crust is thinned due to an aborted rifting in the Cretaceous. Based on the interpretation of free air anomalies, it was inferred the existence of a large magmatism in the oceanic crust surrounding the BP, in contrast with the incipient magmatism in the continent as shown by surface geology. In BP a quite important positive geoid anomaly exists. This anomaly is spatially correlated with the Borborema plateau and the Macaú-Queimadas volcanic lineament. The integrated interpretation of geoid height anomaly data, global shear velocity model, and geologic data allow to propose that and Edge Driven Convection (EDC) may have caused the Cenozoic magmatism. The EDC is an instability that presumably occurs at the boundary between thick stable lithosphere and oceanic thin lithosphere. In the BP lithosphere, the EDC mechanism would have dragged the cold lithospheric mantle into the hot asthenospheric mantle thus causing a positive density contrast that would have generated the main component of the geoid height anomaly. In addition, the compatibility of the gravity data with the isostatic model, where combined surface and buried loadings are present, together with the temporal correlation between the Cenozoic magmatism and the Borborema plateau uplifting allow to propose that this uplifting would have been caused by the buoyancy effect of a crustal root generated by a magmatic underplating in the Cenozoic

O presente trabalho aborda o romance Galvez Imperador do Acre, publicado em 1976, pelo escritor amazonense Márcio Souza, estabelecendo as relações entre o texto literário e as propostas estéticas das vanguardas modernistas, tanto européias quanto brasileiras, propondo, assim, a investigação das relações entre modernismo e pós-modenismo, bem como as relações entre literatura, sociedade, história e cultura. Abordaremos questões como a ressignificação de textos literários ou não em Galvez imperador do Acre por meio do processo de colagem e intertextualidade, as relações entre o romance e o momento histórico que retoma e com aquele em que foi produzido, a operação de retomada do passado de forma crítica e transformadora e as possibilidades de leitura do texto literário com vista a algumas teorias pós-modernistas e pós-colonialistas. Observaremos, assim, a maneira como o mesmo retoma a Belle Époque e a extração do látex na Amazônia e sua estética fragmentária, constituída de diversas citações de autores canônicos, investigando o funcionamento da colagem e da antropofagia como principais ferramentas de denúncia e subversão ao processo cultural de importação de valores europeus vivido pelas capitais amazônicas no momento representado pelo romance e cuja crítica pode ser extrapolada para todo um processo de formação cultural no Brasil e na Amazônia. Para isso, poremos em causa as teorias de Jaques Derrida, Walter Benjamim, Claude Levi-Strauss, Fredric Jameson, Luiz Costa Lima, Antonio Candido, Aijaz Ahmad, Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, Canclini, Silviano Santiago, Angel Rama, Linda Hutcheon, Antoine Compagnon, entre outros, afim de, a partir do romance em análise, aprofundarmos a discussão teórica acerca das relações comparativas entre textos literários e entre os Estudos Literários e outros campos de estudo.

Neste trabalho é apresentado um estudo das perdas de água no sistema de abastecimento e nas residências do Conjunto Benjamim Sodré. O trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas, sendo a primeira experimental e a segunda de resultados. Posteriormente os dados foram tratados e avaliados e os principais resultados foram: a caracterização e avaliação do cadastro de consumidores, o volume faturado e medido das subcategorias do Conjunto, bem como, as vazões de todo o Sistema de Abastecimento de Água (SAA). Além disso, foram determinados alguns indicadores básicos de desempenho, como índice de perda na distribuição (70,04%), índice de perda no faturamento (70,61%), índice linear bruto de perda (157,96 L/m.dia), índice de perda por ligação (1.446 L/ligação.dia), índice de hidrometração (72,27%) e o Índice Global de Perdas (70,93%). Além disso, foi possível ter o conhecimento do nível sócio-econômico de 30% população residente, das subcategorias R2 e R3 no Conjunto (176 imóveis), onde os resultados mostraram que cerca de 94% dos entrevistados que pagam somente uma taxa para consumo afirmaram praticar desperdícios de água em suas residências. Procurou-se analisar a qualidade da água fornecida a população e cerca de 71,50% dos entrevistados considerou de má qualidade, o que de certa forma pode estar contribuindo com ocorrências de doenças de veiculação hídrica, pois nos últimos anos foi verificado que 24% da população tiveram problemas como diarréias, verminoses, hepatite A e escabiose. Além disso, foi feita uma avaliação do uso da água nas diversas atividades domésticas das subcategorias R2 e R3. Há uma perda de R$ 426,38 ao mês na conta de 15 consumidores que alegaram ter vazamentos na residência. Foi mostrado que para a atividade de lavar louça o consumidor teria uma redução no valor da conta de água de 89,28% em média, para tomar banho 43,66%, lavar roupa na máquina 34,23%, para lavar o pátio ou a calçada 84,80%, e para escovar os dentes 17,06%, referentes as subcategorias R2 e R3.

A partir do século XVII iniciou-se na Amazônia toda uma movimentação de viajantes/naturalistas atraídos pela biossociodiversidade dessa região dominada por uma floresta tropical. Henry Bates (1825-1892), estudioso de história natural, foi um deles, tendo, porém, se deslocado para o Norte do Brasil entre os anos de 1848 e 1859. Nesse contexto, o presente paper tem como objetivo analisar o processo de transferência das informações produzidas por esse viajante naturalista após 11 anos de trabalho de campo. A partir do material bibliográfico reunido para esse fim, verificou-se que tal processo foi bem-sucedido, como evidencia a ampla circulação das obras publicadas por Bates. Transcorridos 156 anos dessa expedição, a produção científica de Bates continua a participar do circuito acadêmico de produção de conhecimento sobre a Amazônia na contemporaneidade, qual seja no campo da biologia, da zoologia, da sociologia, da história ou da antropologia.

Este artigo é uma iniciativa de destacar alguns elementos a respeito das reflexões de Walter Benjamin sobre o cinema, uma arte que, segundo o próprio autor, responde aos anseios perceptivos do homem moderno, àquele para o qual foi negada qualquer experiência. O cinema, “a obra de arte na era de sua reprodutibilidade técnica”, por excelência, é, para o autor, o marco de uma nova percepção, de uma nova relação entre público e obra de arte: a percepção coletiva. O que a multidão busca não é a contemplação ou o recolhimento diante da obra de arte, mas a sua distração. Fato que o cinema, ao reproduzir em sua forma o conceito benjaminiano de “experiência do choque”, por meio das sucessivas exposições de seus fragmentos, interrompendo constantemente a associação de idéias dos espectadores, insiste em colocar em pauta, (re)afirmando o caráter de diversão da arte moderna. Entretanto, para o autor, o cinema dialeticamente responde à diversão como o instrumento adequado para uma pedagogia das multidões — por meio de uma arte emancipada, as massas também se emancipariam.

Este artigo oferece a reflexão acerca da educação, pensando sua atualidade e a necessidade de tornar marcantes as experiências das crianças com a contação de histórias, a qual pode ser uma ferramenta para tanto. Com a obra de Benjamin, O Narrador, destaca-se um elemento não mais comum entre as pessoas, as quais, em épocas passadas, podiam trocar experiências por meio do conto ou da narração de sua própria vida. Não há mais tempo para isso, não há mais capacidade para isso; a sociedade atual está orientada pela informação rápida e pela aceleração da vida, não permitindo um tempo ocioso para este tipo de experiência como um momento de ensino que ilustra e marca a vida inteira. Com estas preocupações, acrescentamos a discussão de autores que tratam da literatura ou dos contos na educação brasileira, sua influência e possibilidades de novas experiências com as crianças.
