(Re)criando (mini)contos de terror: uma experiência de ensino de leitura e escrita de gênero multimodal

Given the multiplicity of languages and media present in contemporary texts, the work with digital genres characterizes itself as essential for teaching, reading and writing. Virtual media is already present in many dayly activities that require the use of language. This shows that the globalized world brings new demands of literacy and various reading practices. Given this perspective, we propose to work the multiliteracies present in the new texts from the enunciative discourse Bakhtinian assumptions. For this, we chose to be as the object of research / intervention, the horror flash fiction multimodal discursive genre, because it is a multissemiótico digital statement of virtual circulation. In this context, this study aimed to understand how the teaching of this kind can contribute to the development of knowledge related to reading and text production, required by multiliteracies, by performing a Didactic Sequence in the classroom, specifically for two classes of elementary school, 7th and 8th grades of public school. The research was based on Bakhtin's theory and the Circle (2009, 2011) on gender perspective in a dialogic and the proposed Dolz and Schneuwly (2004) for the text of teaching through sequences Teaching. We also use the precepts of multiliteracies focused on Rojo (2012, 2013). The methodology used was based on a qualitative approach. We consider the analysis of minicontos produced by students, it's own hibridism of multiliteracies, the discursive characteristics such as composition, style and subject content, in addition to relations dialogicity present in these statements. At the end of the study, we realized that our intervention contributed to the expansion of knowledge of the subjects involved related to reading and multimodal genre production.

Estudio de la osteointegración y posibles alteraciones provocadas por el empleo de implantes dentales en hueso inmaduro. Estudio experimental en mini pigs

El empleo de implantes dentales se ha convertido en práctica habitual en la odontología humana actual, siendo su empleo cada vez más frecuente. Esto es debido tanto a los buenos resultados, como a la reducción de costes de esta técnica, lo que permite un mayor acceso al público general. El cerdo ha sido utilizado como modelo experimental en muchos trabajos de investigación, tanto en medicina humana como veterinaria. Hay multitud de artículos publicados que hacen referencia a su utilización en campos como la anestesia, traumatología, cardiología, odontología, etc. Actualmente en odontología los implantes osteointegrados tiene gran importancia y en la mayoría de los estudios se hace referencia casi en su totalidad al comportamiento de estos, en sus diferentes modalidades, en pacientes adultos con hueso maduro. Sólo algunas publicaciones recientes describen el empleo de estas técnicas en niños con casos graves de edentulismo. Por esta razón se planteó llevar a cabo este estudio en animales jóvenes sobre hueso inmaduro y de esta manera podría obtenerse información acerca de los problemas que podrían plantearse durante todo el proceso, desde su colocación hasta su posible osteointegración...

The PTA: Promoting Swiss Tours, 1888-1939

This research examines the development from educational to commercial tourism in Britain between the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century by questioning whether this reflected a transformed understanding of the role of travel within society. It focuses on the Polytechnic Touring Association (PTA), a London-based originally philanthropic travel organisation that became a commercial firm. During this period the PTA moved from the project of contributing to the education of citizens to the market-led imperative of ‘harnessing’ a consumer desire. In examining this transformation via the PTA’s changing approach to the visual promotion of its Swiss tours, we suggest that the development of the tourism industry in Britain should also be explored in relation to changing ideas about travel’s contribution to social formation.

Chirurgia mini-invasiva : tecniche di intervento in presenza di malattie vascolari

Il mio elaborato tratta le tecniche e le problematiche affrontate nella chirurgia mini invasiva in presenza di malattie vascolari; si parla di mini-invasiva in quanto la procedura d'intervento,come dice la parola stessa, non consiste in un vero e proprio intervento chirurgico ma bensi', nella maggior parte dei casi , si svolge in day- hospital. Dopo aver descritto cosa si intende per malattie vascolari e i fattori che portano alla loro comparsa all'interno del nostro organismo, mi focalizzo sulle tecniche utilizzate in fase di diagnosi da parte del cardiologo emodinamista per stabilire quale tipo di patologia è stata riscontrata sul paziente e la sua gravità e,successivamente, sulle tecniche d'intervento. Proprio per quel che riguarda le tecniche procedurali, descrivo quelle principalmente utilizzate nel campo della chirurgia mini-invasiva mettendo a confronto la classica tecnica dell'angioplastica, ormai utilizzata da anni, con quella dell'aterectomia che, in base al sistema di funzionamento e al tipo d'intervento da eseguire, si divide in due grosse branche: aterectomia direzionale e aterectomia rotazionale. Dopo aver illustrato il principio tecnologico e di funzionamento di ogni tecnica, in riferimento a studi eseguiti da parte di svariate equipe su un ampio range di pazienti, ho messo a confronto l'angioplastica con l'aterectomia per cercare di stabilire quale tra le due tecniche porta a risultati migliori, soprattutto a lungo termine, in modo tale da ridurre il rischio di restenosi nel paziente(ovvero un ulteriore restringimento nella zona del vaso dove si è intervenuti )

Party Members’ Preferences and the Changing Nature of Party Representation: Does Representation Change when Parties become Mini-Republics?

Giovanni Sartori famously wrote that political parties do not need to be mini-republics, yet today parties in many parliamentary democracies are moving in this direction by giving their members direct votes over important decisions, including selecting party leaders and settling policy issues. This paper explores some of the implications of these changes. It asks whether the addition of membership rights affects the types of members who are attracted: do we find a bigger gap between the preferences of party members and of party voters in parties that are more plebiscitary, as literature on members' motivations might lead us to expect? The paper examines this question both cross-sectionally and longitudinally using opinion data from the European Social Survey and newly-available party organizational data from the Political Party Database project.
