Interface entre arquitetura bioclimática e decisões projetuais

This research has as its object study focus bioclimatic in architecture and its conection with projects decisions, on what regards to environmental comfort for single-family dwelling. From the analysis of five architectural projects inserted in Natal/RN, warm-moist weather, this research gather informations regarding architectural features guided by shape and space arrengement, which embody important elements for the project design development. Computer simulations assisted as foundation to verify the efficiency grade for these projects strategies from shading analysis. Related strategies for the demands of natural ventilation circulation and thermal mass for refrigeration were analysed as well. Results show that there is an hierarchizing of priorities for the decisions made when it comes to shape and space disposition variables, as well as the way these variables will consider the bioclimatic demands. The analysis, even, show that there is no single way to respond to specific bioclimatic demands, as it points out the value of examination of the projectual solutions throughtout the conception process, in order to achieve an efficient project performance for the envimonment comfort

O elo entre o serviço social e o judiciário: demandas, desafios e contribuições na defesa de Direitos

Unveiling the link between the Social Services and the Judiciary is the object of this work, since the judiciary is constituted as one of the socio-occupational areas of the profession in the sphere of the state, seize the demands placed on professionals which work becomes relevant , considering that these are embody the multiple expressions of social issues, constituting a challenge to social work, while influencing the contributions that the profession has engendered in the defense and expansion rights. It constitutes an analysis from the standpoint of theoretical and methodological basis Qualiquantitative taking for granted the rights violations against children and adolescents in their social, legal and historical guide to the topic. For this we used a theoretical Marxist Behring (2009), Colman (2008), Faleiros (2205), Faria (1999, 2001), Fávaro (2007, 2008), Iamamoto (1985, 1992, 2002, 2006, 2007) Yazbek, Marx (1983), Netto (1994), Nicholas (1984), Pequeno (2009), Rizinni (1997, 2008), Santos (2009), Sales (2006), Telles (1999), Tonet (2009), among others. Besides literature, empirical research conducted through semi-structured interviews using a script and written records and systematic observation / free during interviews. The subjects were 06 social workers from the area of the judiciary to act on Justice for Children and Youth, Family Court and NOADE in Natal / RN. The research aims to analyze the demands and challenges of Social Services and their contribution in ensuring and enforcing rights in courts nowadays. The route established between knowledge and method involves conceptual analysis on the Judiciary, Social Services, and Child and Adolescent Rights. Seize-up in this study the existing contradictions in confronting the multiple expressions of social issues in the context of the judiciary. The research allowed us to identify relevant aspects regarding the challenges and demands placed Social Service; limits on defense and expansion of their rights and contradictions within sociojurídico. For being one of the judiciary institutions that comprise the system warranty rights, social workers also face difficulties in implementing the professional doing since the ills posed by current sociability capital focus in everyday spaces socio-occupational presented here. On the other hand, is commendable acting those protagonists who believe, defend and contribute to the defense and expansion rights

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of JussuMP-I: A RGD-P-III class hemorrhagic metalloprotease from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom

Snake venom metalloproteases (SVMPs) embody zinc-dependent multidomain enzymes responsible for a relevant pathophysiology in envenomation. including local and systemic hemorrhage. The molecular features responsible for hemorrhagic potency of SVMPs have been associated with their multidomains structures which can target these proteins them to several receptors of different tissues and cellular types. BjussuMP-I. a SVMP isolated from the Bothrops jararacussu venom, has been characterized as a P-III hemorrhagic metalloprotease. The complete cDNA sequence of BjussuMP-I with 1641bp encodes open reading frames of 547 amino acid residues, which conserve the common domains of P-III high molecular weight hemorrhagic metalloproteases: (i) pre-pro-peptide, (ii) metalloprotease, (iii) disintegrin-like and (iv) rich cysteine domain. BjussuMP-I induced lyses in fibrin clots and inhibited collagen- and ADP-induced platelet aggregation. We are reporting, for the first time, the primary structure of an RGD-P-III class snake venom metalloprotease. A phylogenetic analysis of the BjussuMP-1 metalloprotease/catalytic domain was performed to get new insights into the molecular evolution of the metalloproteases. A theoretical molecular model of this domain was built through folding recognition (threading) techniques and refined by molecular dynamics simulation. Then, the final BjussuMP-I catalytic domain model was compared to other SVMPs and Reprolysin family proteins in order to identify eventual structural differences, which could help to understand the biochemical activities of these enzymes. The presence of large hydrophobic areas and some conserved surface charge-positive residues were identified as important features of the SVMPs and other metalloproteases. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Biomolecular information, brain activity and cognitive functions

Molecular neurobiology has provided an explanation of mechanisms supporting mental functions as learning, memory, emotion and consciousness. However, an explanatory gap remains between two levels of description: molecular mechanisms determining cellular and tissue functions, and cognitive functions. In this paper we review molecular and cellular mechanisms that determine brain activity, and then hypothetize about their relation with cognition and consciousness. The brain is conceived of as a dynamic system that exchanges information with the whole body and the environment. Three explanatory hypotheses are presented, stating that: a) brain tissue function is coordinated by macromolecules controlling ion movements, b) structured (amplitude, frequency and phase-modulated) local field potentials generated by organized ionic movement embody cognitive information patterns, and c) conscious episodes are constructed by a large-scale mechanism that uses oscillatory synchrony to integrate local field patterns. © by São Paulo State University.

Os quatro núcleos/eixos de produção da poética de Caio Fernando Abreu

This article presents a short study about the literary work of Brazilian writer Caio Fernando Abreu (1946-1996). In order to study his formal and thematic choices, we established criteria based on concepts like motif and plot (dramatic situation), as developed by Tomachevski (1976). A specific articulation between motives and dramatic situations establishes four nuclei of Abreu's literary production, which is characterized by a literary experimentation with these elements and it constructs an organic work that makes itself and/or is made in a dialogic way (Bakhtin, 1981). Firstly, the main characteristics of the four nuclei and the books that embody them will be presented. Then, we will describe how the motives and dramatic situations are re-elaborated from one nucleus to another. Not only does each nucleus features some new elements, but also contains remainders of previous ones. As such, each of Abreu's works can be considered as both the same and unique.

The new digital revolution: From the consumer Internet to the industrial Internet

The new digital technologies have led to widespread use of cloud computing, recognition of the potential of big data analytics, and significant progress in aspects of the Internet of Things, such as home automation, smart cities and grids and digital manufacturing. In addition to closing gaps in respect of the basic necessities of access and usage, now the conditions must be established for using the new platforms and finding ways to participate actively in the creation of content and even new applications and platforms. This message runs through the three chapters of this book. Chapter I presents the main features of the digital revolution, emphasizing that today’s world economy is a digital economy. Chapter II examines the region’s strengths and weaknesses with respect to digital access and consumption. Chapter III reviews the main policy debates and urges countries to take a more proactive approach towards, for example, regulation, network neutrality and combating cybercrime. The conclusion highlights two crucial elements: first, the need to take steps towards a single regional digital market that can compete in a world of global platforms by tapping the benefits of economies of scale and developing network economies; and second, the significance of the next stage of the digital agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean (eLAC2018), which will embody the latest updates to a cooperation strategy that has been in place for over a decade.

A noção de significado em B. F. Skinner e em M. Sidman

Apresentam-se alguns aspectos do debate sobre a relação entre a interpretação de Skinner para o comportamento verbal e a pesquisa na área de equivalência de estímulos. Fornece-se uma descrição das noções de significado veiculadas por Skinner e Sidman em suas tentativas de produzir uma interpretação da linguagem de caráter analíticocomportamental. Os modelos explicativos de Skinner e Sidman são analisados em termos de seu alcance para a análise do comportamento verbal; em seguida, são comparadas as noções de significado como variáveis controladoras da resposta e como relações de equivalência entre estímulos; por último, o papel da substitutabilidade na linguagem, sua função e limites, é examinada. A análise de Skinner pretende ser mais abrangente do que a de Sidman, no sentido de tentar abarcar a totalidade do comportamento verbal. Skinner, ao contrário de Sidman, busca comparar sua proposta com as teorias da linguagem existentes. As análises de Skinner apontam para o significado como as variáveis explicativas do comportamento, enquanto que, as de Sidman, para o significado como estímulos equivalentes. A noção de significado proposta por Sidman fundamenta-se em relações entre estímulos (contingência de quatro termos, ou mais) e sua substitutabilidade (a equivalência entre estímulos). Na sua conceituação do comportamento verbal, Skinner considera uma distinção entre as funções de falantes e ouvintes como sendo importante, enquanto que em Sidman esta distinção não aparece. As análises de Sidman para o significado apresentam alguns aspectos que as diferem das teorias tradicionais criticadas por Skinner; entretanto, considera-se que a noção de significado proposta por Sidman continua problemática. Critica-se a substitutabilidade como uma boa base para se tratar o significado. Conclui-se que a equivalência pode ser um instrumento valioso na compreensão da linguagem, especialmente no que diz respeito à produção de comportamentos verbais não diretamente treinados, auxiliando a avançar as análises sobre o comportamento verbal.

Comunicação e identidade: apropriação e estratégias do Movimento Xingu Vivo para Sempre em reação à Hidrelétrica de Belo Monte

Existe uma trajetória de ação coletiva na Amazônia Brasileira que tem na busca pela compreensão e reconhecimento de seu discurso a afirmação de seus modos de vida e racionalidade. Essa ação coletiva, representada pelo Movimento Xingu Vivo para Sempre (MXVPS), coalizão de organizações que personificam na hidrelétrica de Belo Monte seu símbolo máximo de oposição, busca a compreensão e reconhecimento de seu discurso por meio da apropriação sobre ferramentas de comunicação, particularmente a internet e seus aparatos tecnológicos, e da cultura da mídia (KELLNER, 200l), com todos seus ícones de poder e formatação de culturas e identidades na contemporaneidade. O processo de apropriação empreendido pelo MXVPS não se dá de maneira fortuita, mas apresenta um modus operandi, uma ação de reconhecer os “adversários”, apropriar-se deles estrategicamente e fazê-los, a partir da mediação, da cultura e da identidade, transformarem-se em outra coisa, em outros sentidos, agora úteis à luta contra-hegemônica por reconhecimento. O MXVPS engendra sua ação a partir: 1) da própria história dos grupos que integram o coletivo, uma história de violações de direitos e silenciamento diante do quadro geral de influência societária; 2) das representações e significações de suas identidades, sobretudo no cenário nacional e internacional, e 3) a percepção destes grupos de seu entorno político para obter resultados da ação. As conclusões de pesquisa apontam para a existência de uma trajetória de comunicação paradigmática na Amazônia em reação a um grande projeto de desenvolvimento, com metodologias específicas pautadas em atos discursivos e identidade. São estratégias que pretendem, por meio de Ação Comunicativa (HABERMAS, 1987) voltada ao entendimento mútuo, tornar válidas pretensões e discursos, levando ao reconhecimento e, potencialmente, ao atendimento de suas reivindicações. Essa ação, empreendida por meio de atos comunicativos, tem ainda o potencial de estruturação do espaço público, na perspectiva de uma luta (protagônica) para se inserir (não mais como grupo historicamente marginal, mas como ator emancipado de seus desejos e pretensões) no conflituoso espaço de decisão política, incidindo sobre mudanças sociais e políticas (e, em potencial, normativas) que afetem seus territórios, identidades e modos de reprodução material e simbólica.

Foucault's heraclitism and the concept of history

Deleuze states that Foucault would have created a new relationship between men and history, a relationship other than that established by the philosophers of history. In order to specify the steps Foucault took to accomplish this invention, I shall support, according to Deleuze, Foucault s Heraclitism as the basis for a genuine Foucaultian concept of history. After outlining the risks taken by Foucault s concept of history, I observe this concept at work through the three periods that perform his thought: Archeology, Genealogy and Aesthetics of Existence. The main characters that embody his concept of history through these periods are: a) the discontinuous profile of history; b) the denaturalization of would-be unhistorical objects; c) the historical dimension of body; d) the eddies of subjectivation in history. We shall focus our inspection on the turn made along Foucault s work when he takes into a new account the theme of subjectivity, mostly in the last two volumes of the History of Sexuality. Thus, our attention turns to the subjectivity defined as a process, in order to investigate individual identity as the result of history.

As crianças protagonistas dos contos de fadas dos Irmãos Grimm

The origins of the fairy tales are lost in the past but these tales are, even today, great teaching instruments because they relate to language development, creativity, social relations, and especially with the internalization of values and behavior patterns. According to Bettelheim (1980), fairy tales assure the children that the difficulties can be overcome, no matter how insignificant they feel. In this sense, these tales are power tools. We understand that fairy tales - and their characters - have the power to influence their readers/listeners. Therefore, this study considered four fairy tales in which the protagonists are children and remain as children all though the narratives: Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel Snow White and Rose Red and Thumbling, from Grimm Tales, translated into Portuguese by David Jardim Junior and published in 2008 by Itatiaia. We sought investigate how the children characters of these stories act, leveraging a reflection grounded on the image of children that emerge from the selected tales - images that have been registered in the first decades of the nineteenth century by the Brothers Grimm in their Children's and Household Tales - enabling the identification of the kinds of behavior that they perform and the values they embody, thus contributing to a better understanding of the models that these characters offer to the twenty-first century's children. Our research has a qualitative approach of bibliographic nature, mainly grounded in the ideas of Bettelheim (1980) and Ariès (1981). We found that there is a shortage of studies on the tales collected/maintained by the Brothers Grimm, although these stories have become classics of universal children's literature and continue, cradling the imagination of Western children in the twenty-first century. We also verified that there are very few studies exploring the representation of children in fairy tales and children's literature...
