Resistência à flexão em porcelana feldspática: efeito da ciclagem mecânica e limite de fadiga pelo método escada

This study evaluated the fatigue limit (FL) by the staircase method and the effect of mechanical cycling on the flexural strength (FS) of Duceragold feldspathic porcelain. Specimens (25 x 5 x 2 mm) were made according to manufacturer’s directions and submitted to three-point flexural strength test (n = 10). To determine FL (n = 30; 10,000 cycles; 2 Hz), an initial loading of 60% of the FS and an incremental loading (step) of 3% of the FS were used. Data were analyzed by Anova and Tukey´s test (p < 0.05). Although the proposed cycles have not reduced FS significantly, fractography analysis showed striation, characteristic signs of mechanical fatigue.

Human identification by means of conventional and digital Cheiloscopy: a study of the literature

One of the areas of human identification is Cheiloscopy, the name given to the study of the lips, their characteristics (such as thickness, position of the grooves and grooves) and the record of the impressions left by them. There are variations in the layout of the lines and fissures of the lips, which are unique to each individual, permanent and unchanging. The lip print rarely changes, enduring minor traumas such as inflammation or sores. In criminal investigations, lip prints, visible through the presence of lipstick, can be found on glasses, napkins, clothes, cigarettes, indicating a relationship between the subject and the scene of the crime. Latent impressions may be revealed employing specific chemicals such as powder of silver and aluminum nitrate. Although it is not a very common method, Cheiloscopy may become very useful in forensics due to the extensive amount of valuable information that it brings. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the use of Cheiloscopy in human identification, using traditional and digital methods. It was found that the literature is still in need of studies in this area. The advent of new digital technologies can facilitate the implementation of technical expertise, generating speed and objectivity. New research studies are necessary, especially in the development of digital methods. The application of Cheiloscopy can greatlyhelp with Law, in the identification of living suspects and dead individuals. In the end the benefit will fall to society as a whole.

A legitimação das redes sociais como fonte para o jornalismo sob a perspectiva dos códigos padrões de narração

From the study of the news, it is possible to notice a substantial and progressive increase in the number of reports that use social networks as a source for the composition of the news in recent years. This paper discusses precisely this process of legitimation of social networks as an authorized source for journalists from the perspective of the standards narration codes historically marked that journalists use to tell their stories, in a crossover between the ideas of Michel de Certeau, Paul Ricoeur and Roland Barthes. We will study the notion that this increase is due to a repositioning of journalistic values in vogue (who put those sources within the boundaries of acceptable) and has visible consequences in the writing and structuring of journalistic report as an enunciative technical.

Poe tornado fellini: adaptação literária no cinema autoral

The purpose of this article is to assess Federico Fellini’s adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe story for the screen. The film “Spirits of the Dead” is Fellini’s adaptation of Poe’s story “Never Bet the Devil your Head”, but it is very far from being a faithful rendering. The “infidelity” of the Italian film director to the American writer occurred in the context of the enormous prestige enjoyed by what was known as “authorism”, a phase which the film industry was going through at the end of the 1960s, whereby great value was placed on the aesthetic idiosyncrasies of individual film directors.

A arte de recriar lendas e mitos: inrtextualidade e antropofagismo

Brazilian folklore is rich in legends that inhabit in the imaginary of people and are believed to have originated among Brazilian indigenous peoples and the Africans who were enslaved by Portuguese settlers. However, when those stories are compared with the legends of the Iberian Peninsula , one can notice that a lot of elements in the Brazilian legends clearly reflect, for example, aspects of the popular narratives from Galicia and Portugal, such as “The moors” and “Yara’s legend”; “O trasno” and “Saci pererê”. The objective of this paper is to analyze those cultural traces by means of Comparative Literary and Intertextuality analysis, by observing how the context , the ruling ideology, and both social and cultural aspects retake the stories that are known to a certain culture and readapt them according to the traditions of another, thus producing new discourse-texts with local characteristics.

Sobre o caráter histórico dos efeitos de realidade no jornalismo

Since journalistic report is subject to certain pre-coded forms of narration, so that the recognized journalistic discourse is subject to a specific and standardized way of narrating the events, in this article, we will discuss the historical status of reality effects engendered narratively by news stories. Over time, although the use of reality effects is constant in news, the narrative techniques that harbor these effects have changed. In different historical periods, different narration codes had assumed the role of making the journalistic stories more credible. As material of analysis, we will show certain narrative techniques linked to reality effects used by magazines such as Revista da Semana (1900-1958), O Cruzeiro (1928-1975) and Manchete (1952-2000). Each one of these used certain storytelling techniques that have been abandoned in subsequent periods and that show the historical status of reality effects linguistically constructed in journalism.

O sofrimento psíquico contemporâneo no imaginário coletivo de estudantes de psicologia

Profound socio‑cultural transformations that the world has undergone have been followed by new subjective configurations and manifestations of psychic suffering, whose impact and resonance in the psychology clinic, demand especial understanding and management. The aim of this study was to investigate the collective imaginary of Psychology students about contemporary psychic suffering. In the light of the psychoanalytic method, this research utilized the procedure of drawings‑stories with theme in group interview. The set of productions of the drawings‑stories, based on the psychoanalytic narratives written after each group interview, was interpretatively analyzed and allowed the apprehension of the following fields of affective‑emotional meaning: "Loneliness", “Essays on suffering", "Agony of non‑being", "Human contact with suffering", "Avoidance: the great defense", "Non lived lives", "Human despair" and "Multifacetated suffering". The set of analyses allowed the understanding of a collective imaginary in which suffering, that occurs nowadays, consists mainly of feelings of loneliness, for‑ saking, uselessness, spuriousness and existential void.

O cuidado psicológico ao médico em reprodução assistida: um enquadre diferenciado

Profissionais da área da saúde entram em contato com o sofrimento humano mesmo quando não trabalham diretamente no campo da Psicologia. Este estudo baseou-se no referencial da psicanálise com vistas a compreender os aspectos do sofrimento humano que emerge para os médicos no exercício da reprodução assistida, e a importância do estudo do imaginário coletivo sobre situações de difícil manejo em suas clínicas. Participaram vinte e dois médicos que atuam em hospitais e clínicas do estado de São Paulo em âmbitos público e privado, independentemente de sexo, idade e tempo de formação. Foi utilizado o procedimento desenhos-estórias com tema, compreendido como procedimento dialógico. A entrevista caracterizou-se como uma situação especial de comunicação e expressão das emoções geradas nos atendimentos relacionados à temática proposta. Constatou-se a necessidade de proposição de espaços facilitadores da expressão emocional, que promovem a continência do sofrimento humano e a ocorrência de experiências reflexivo-vivenciais transformadoras do real.

O presente da leitura: beleza e contradição

Este artigo examina o metaforizar da leitura e da releitura no último livro de Guimarães Rosa, Tutameia - Terceiras Estórias (1967), a partir da leitura de um de seus contos, "Desenredo". Na primeira parte, abordamos algumas questões teóricas em torno do lugar do leitor a partir da obra de Wolfgang Iser para, em seguida, mostrar como se constrói uma singular problematização do lugar do leitor pela metáfora da atividade da leitura nele presente e pela ficção de uma situação enunciativa.
