O mobralense e o domínio do léxico

Na presente pesquisa de campo, abordou-se, primeir~ mente, o estudo da comunicação entre os homens por códigos verbais, as relações entre a linguagem e o pensamento e a visão do mundo percebida pelo individuo ou pela comunidade através do uso da lin guagem. A seguir examinou-se o sistema escola, comprometido com a transmissão de uma determinada cosmovisão, caracteristica de uma nacionalidade dada, e/ou com a manutenção de valores e modos de vi da que identificam uma certa comunidade. As considerações feitas justificam a importância dada à alfabetização e aos programas de alfabetização em massa nos paises em desenvolvimento, c omo o Brasil. Levando-se em conta estas colocações, planejou-se investigar o vocabulário corrente de trinta e sete alunos do MOBRAL, em Nova Friburgo, relacionando-o com os indices sociais dos informantes (procedência, anos de vida na área geográfica considerada, idade, sexo e profissão), com as variáres temáticas (alimentação, saúde/ doença, profissão/afazeres, expectativas de vida, lembranças de vi da, lazer/diversões), escolhidas após sondagem prévia das condições de vida e dos interesses dos informantes, e com as variáveis lingüisticas, ou seja, as classes de palavras. Neste estudo explQ ratório, propôs-se ainda verificar em que medida o material escri to dos livros de leitura continuada do MOBRAL e dos jornais clas se A (Jornal do Brasil) e C (O Dia e Oltima Hora) se relacionam com o vocabulário utilizado pelos alunos do MOBRAL, em Nova Fribur go. Visando ao levantamento do vocabulário dos entrevistados,foram gravadas cinqüenta falas de acordo com a metodologia utilizada em trabalhos de natureza sociolingüistica . Os dados obtidos neste "corpus" gravado foram anali sados quantitativamente, aplicando-se um programa computacional cQ nhecido como SPSS. O estudo das rel ações entre as variáveis(classi ficação morfológica, tema, idade, sexo, profissão) conduziu à for mação de tabelas de contingência multivariada . A análise dos resultados ofereceu algumas conclusões como o uso constante de substantivos e verbos nas elocuções . Embora se tenha introduzido a técnica de captar as palavras disponíveis durante as entrevistas, não foi alterado o número de substan I tivos nesta pesquisa, porque os informantes não indicaram o nome das coisas isoladamente, fizeram-no por enunciados completos. Ba seando-se neste resultado, propuseram-se algumas sugestões de in teresse pedagógico para utilização do MOBRAL: a primeira -- nao en fatizar os nomes (processo estático da língua) em detrimento dos verkos (processo dinâmico); a segunda -- o uso de frases nas estra tégias de alfabetização. No exame das relações entre as variáveis, a grande variação detectada deveu-se ao tema. Quando se investigou a variedade dos vocábulos usa dos pelos entrevistados em Nova Friburgo, observou-se que das 11.337 ocorrências de substantivos, encontraram-se 2.222 substanti vos diferentes e 1.590 vocábulos; das 17.604 ocorrências de verbos, encontraram-se 2.365 verbos diferentes e 588 vocábulos; das 1.980 ocorrências de adjetivo~, encontraram-se 660 adjetivos diferentes e 488 vocábulos. Concluiu-se que o vocabulário deste grupo pode ser diferente dos de outras áreas, dos de outras cfu~adas sociais inse ridas em outros contextos, mas não é limitado, nem re stri to.Expre~ sa a visão e a expectativa do mundo que os cerca. Outra recomendação ao MOBRAL: a escolha das palavras a ensinar seria colhida nas diversas comunidades, onde funcionam as classes de alfabetização e a motivação para sua seleção deveria estar ligada às necessidades cotidianas dos adultos com a palavra geradora integrada em frases.

The impact on the stationary state income of a pay-as-you-go system of social security

A model of overlapping generations in continuous time is composed. IndividuaIs pass through two distinct time periods during their life times. During the first period, they work, save and have a death probability equal to zero. During the second, from the periods T after birth, their probability of death changes to p and then they retire. Capital stock and the stationary state in come are calculated for two situations: in the first, people live from their accumulated capital after retirementj in the second, they live from a state transfer payment through income taxo To simplify matters, in this preliminary version, it is supposed that there is no population growth and that the instantaneous elasticity substitution of consumption is unitary.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS of AMAZON RIVER PRAWN FARMING TO THE MARKETS FOR LIVE BAIT and JUVENILES IN PANTANAL, BRAZIL

The implementation of a hypothetical aquaculture facility with hatchery, nursery and grow-out earthen ponds for raising the Amazon River Prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum in the Pantanal was considered. Eight larviculture cycles per year were projected: four to produce post-larvae for stocking in grow-out bait ponds, and four to stock nursery tanks to sell juveniles as seed to grow-out farms, which produce prawns for human consumption. Annual production would be 146,880 dozen bait prawns and 2,938 thousand juveniles. The assumed sale prices were US$ 1.38 per dozen baits and US$ 15.39 per thousand juveniles. The net present value was US$ 555,890.79, internal rate of return was 48% per year, payback period was 2.4 years and benefit-cost ratio was 3.90. The breakeven price to cover total costs per dozen baits was US$ 0.70 and per thousand juveniles was US$ 17.00, indicating that the selling price assumed for juveniles in base scenario is not realistic. Net return was US$ 84,773.80. The results indicate that this activity would be a lucrative and attractive investment in the Pantanal.

Do controle de constitucionalidade dos atos jurisdicionais transitados em julgado

The following study aims to verify in which hypothesis res judicata, when it comes of an unconstitutional decision, shall not prevail over Constitution. It displayed the characteristics of formal and material constitutional systems. It debated the concepts of existence, validity and efficacy of juridical rules and acts. It dissertated about the idea of Constitution s superiority and about the birth of the judicial review of constitutionality. It focused some contemporary models of this judicial review and its historical evolution in Brazil, showing its effects towards the current Constitution. It sustained that the decision given by Supremo Tribunal Federal during abstract control of rules must bind even legislative bodies, preventing them to produce the same rules previously declared unconstitutional. It held up that all parts of the decision of Supremo Tribunal Federal oblige, even the juridical arguments employed, in both diffused and concentrated reviews. It showed that, despite these models of review live together in Brazil, our constitutional system preferred the concentrated one, considering one only court over the other constitutional organs. It discussed about res judicata with the purpose of clarifying its juridical nature, its objective and subjective limits and its regulation in collective demands. It explained that the material res judicata is an effect of a decision which cannot be reviewed, which makes the law s will free of discussion, binding the contendants and avoiding that other courts, judging future demands about the same object, may decide differently. It showed how the regulation of res judicata in collective demands, in respect oh their subjective limits, is useful to demonstrate that it is not the material law who must adapt itself to res judicata as traditionally thought, but res judicata, as a warranty of juridical certainty and security, who must be shaped from the debated rule. It presented to view the main doctrinal conceptions about res judicata s review in the hypothesis of unconstitutional judgement. It concluded that the decisions forged by unconstitutional rules or interpretations reputed not compatible to the Constitution by Supremo Tribunal Federal, in spite of it can make res judicata, may be reviewed beyond the term to file a recissory claim, since while the debated law is still valid, no matter if its decision was before or after the res judicata. At the end, it asserted that, when it is not legally authorized, the judicial review of res judicata is not admissible, after the term to file a recissory claim, under the argument that there was no direct violation to the constitutional principle or rule

Long-term stability studies on protection against Newcastle disease by commercial live vaccine used in Brazil

The thermostability (TS) and efficacy offered by live vaccines against Newcastle disease strains B 1, La Sota, VG-GA and Ulster, produced or imported by four Brazilian laboratories, were evaluated during their validity period. Kinetic profiles were obtained from samples conserved in refrigerators during 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 months after their manufacturing. The statistical analysis of the vaccine titre effect obtained by the fresh air (FA) method showed that the vaccine profiles were parallel and coincident, presenting a significant descending trend. The vaccine titres and efficiency proofs at the end of the validity period were above the level of legislation requirements and showed an average loss in titre of 0.40 and 0.66 log(10), within the first and second validity years, respectively. The titre obtained by TS, within the month after manufacturing, had no significant difference from the titre obtained by FA within 24 months after manufacturing, being their pairs of observations positively correlated (r = 0,49, p = 0.0003), showing that the TS method, which anticipates the vaccines' performance at the end of the validity period, can substitute the FA method 24 months after manufacturing.
