Aspectos pedagógicos do desenho animado infantil Bob esponja

Este estudo teve como objetivo refletir sobre a importância de se entender o desenho animado para publico infantil para além do entretenimento, como rica fonte de apreensão de significados. O desenho animado escolhido para análise foi o infantil "Bob esponja", que apresenta elementos típicos da comédia como simplicidade, exagero, inconveniência e irreverência. O trabalho foi construído pela escolha de quatro episódios, selecionados por apresentarem enredos que tratavam dos temas família (Beijos da vovó); mentira (Chocolate com nozes); doença (Espuma) e disputa (Jogos do mestre-cuca) e sua intersecção com a fundamentação teórica oferecida pela análise do discurso; aspectos da linguagem audiovisual e considerações sobre as relações existentes entre o público infantil e a TV. Através da leitura do discurso dos episódios selecionados foi possível a verificação da presença de traços de um discurso pedagógico fundido no macro discurso do entretenimento.(AU)

Les regards traîtres (recueil de nouvelles), suivi de Le motif du mauvais œil dans les nouvelles fantastiques de Bertrand Bergeron (essai)

Ce mémoire est constitué de trois volets. Tout d'abord, on y présente une création littéraire, court recueil de nouvelles intitulé Les regards traîtres. Celui-ci est suivi d'un essai portant sur le sous-genre fantastique, qui dans sa forme canonique offre une place prépondérante aux motifs littéraires. Suit une courte revue du motif du mauvais œil et une analyse détaillée d'un corpus de nouvelles de l'auteur québécois Bertrand Bergeron. Celles-ci ont été sélectionnées parmi les ouvrages de l'auteur afin de mettre en lumière la transformation et la refonte du motif littéraire du mauvais œil dans l'écriture néo-fantastique contemporaine. Enfin, le dernier volet consiste en un retour réflexif ayant pour but de démontrer les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans ma création afin d'illustrer les questions étudiés dans le mémoire. Il s'agit donc ici, tant dans l'étude des théories et dans celle du corpus de Bergeron que dans la création inédite, d'explorer non seulement les constituants du sous-genre fantastique et la présence du motif à l'étude, mais bien de cerner l'actualisation de ce motif dans l’œuvre de Bergeron, d'en démontrer la forme, renouvelée ou pas, et finalement de procéder à la mise en scène dans mes propres nouvelles de cette actualisation. Les résultats obtenus à la suite de ces exercices démontrent que le motif littéraire du mauvais œil, bien qu'utilisé de manière différente, subsiste dans une forme revisitée sous la plume d'un auteur de néo-fantastique tel que Bertrand Bergeron. Les nouvelles du recueil Les regards traîtres concrétisent, quant à elles, la possibilité de faire vivre ce motif, voire d'en faire le moteur de mes intrigues.

Evaluation of two round baling systems for harvesting understory biomass

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance and to estimate costs of two round baling systems for harvesting understory biomass. One system was a cutter-shredderbaler prototype (Bio-baler). The other system required two successive operations. The first operation was cutting and shredding with a Supertrak tractor equipped with a Fecon mulcher head. The second operation was baling with a Claas baler. The machines were evaluated in three different pine stands on the Osceola National Forest in Florida, United States. Data collection included time study, fuel consumption and bale measurements. Material was collected from a sample of bales for heat and moisture content determination. On the most representative site (Site 2), the Bio-baler recovered 8.05 green t ha(-1) while the mulcher and the Claas baler recovered 9.75 green t ha(-1) (43 and 52 percent of original understory biomass, respectively). Productivity was 0.30 ha h(-1) for the Bio-baler and 0.51 ha h(-1) for the Claas baler. Density of the bales was 321 green kg m(-3) for the Bio-baler and 373 green kg m(-3) for the Claas baler. Average net heat content was 6263 MJ bale(-1) for the Bio-baler and 6695 MJ bale(-1) for the Claas baler with biomass containing 38 percent of moisture content on a wet basis. cost per unit area was less with the Bio-baler (US$320.91 ha(-1)) than with the mulcher-baler system (US$336.62-US$596.77 ha(-1)).

Acquisition of the English article system in SLA and the Missing Surface Inflection Hypothesis

This paper examines the article system in interlanguage grammar focusing on Japanese learners of English, whose native language lacks articles. It will be demonstrated that for the acquisition of the English article system, count/mass distinctions and definiteness are the crucial factors. Although Japanese does not employ the article system to encode these aspects, it will be argued that they are nevertheless syntactically encoded through its classifier system. Hence, the problem for these learners must be to map these features onto the appropriate surface forms as the Missing Surface Inflection Hypothesis predicts (Prévost & White 2000). This suggestion will further be supported empirically by a fill-in-the article task. It will be concluded that these Japanese learners understand the English article system fairly well, possibly due to their native language, yet have problems with realizing the relevant features (i.e. count/mass distinctions and definiteness) in the target language.

Mediatizing educational policy: The journalistic field, science policy, and cross-field effects

This paper is concerned to demonstrate the usefulness of the theory of Bourdieu, including the concepts of field, logics of practice and habitus, to understanding relationships between media and policy, what Fairclough has called the 'mediatization' of policy. Specifically, the paper draws upon Bourdieu's accessible account of the journalistic field as outlined in On television and journalism. The usefulness of this work is illustrated through a case study of a recent Australian science policy, The chance to change. As this policy went through various iterations and media representations, its naming and structure became more aphoristic. This is the mediatization of contemporary policy, which often results in policy as sound bite. The case study also shows the cross-field effects of this policy in education, illustrating how today educational policy can be spawned from developments in other public policy fields.
