A pesquisa procura estudar a forma como o espetáculo futebol é percebido e valorizado por espectadores no estádio e na televisão. O modelo proposto por Holbrook (1999) sustenta a análise de narrativas que relatam comportamentos dos consumidores nos dois ambientes: arquibancada e sofá. Com base na abordagem sugerida por McCracken (1988), os dados foram coletados por entrevistas pessoais, em profundidade, que possibilitaram explorar as experiências dos entrevistados como espectadores regulares de futebol na televisão e no estádio. Foram analisados os tipos de valor do modelo de Holbrook (1999) mais representativos encontrados nos relatos. As narrativas indicaram substantivas diferenças entre os valores percebidos ao longo das experiências na arquibancada e no sofá. Esta dualidade serviu de fio condutor para a emergência de outros duplos conceituais extraídos das entrevistas - que se revelam subsídios para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de marketing. Concluiu-se que a valorização da partida de futebol é influenciada pela forma com a qual o espectador constrói os significados na experiência de consumo. Percebeu-se, desta forma, uma associação entre a abordagem semiológica (Eco, 2001), para a qual o valor (da informação) decorre das possibilidades de significados possíveis; e a proposição de Holbrook, para o qual o valor de consumo se sustenta numa vivência interativa. Impõe-se ao gestor, portanto, a missão de executar a tabelinha sofá-arquibancada. De maneira a potencializar seus respectivos atributos para o consumo - como a riqueza simbólica e a riqueza referencial - e a reforçar os traços complementares apontados nas entrevistas.

O meu encontro literário com Vergílio Ferreira deu-se há cerca de seis ou sete anos, quando resolvi comprar e ler Cartas a Sandra, romance que como o nome indica é escrito como se de uma compilação de cartas se tratasse e que foi deixado incompleto e editado postumamente. Esta edição póstuma é da responsabilidade da herdeira (esposa do autor) e do Círculo de Leitores. Inicialmente, confesso, fui seduzida pelo título, mas depois, a leitura da obra deixou uma vontade sôfrega de querer saber mais sobre a escrita vergiliana. Nas disciplinas de literatura da minha licenciatura, pouco ou nada se tratou sobre Vergílio Ferreira mas, apesar disso, encetei algumas pesquisas e leituras que me foram despertando, cada vez mais, o interesse e a predilecção pelas obras deste autor. Mais tarde, já no Curso de Mestrado, ponderei a possibilidade de uma abordagem ao romance em nome da terra e sobre o qual tinha conhecimento da existência de alguns trabalhos, na sua maioria, ao nível da análise literária e/ou estilística. Com uma apetência natural para a área da linguística, considerei com carinho a hipótese de elaborar uma Dissertação de Mestrado que se aproximasse mais do campo da interpretação e análise linguísticas, nomeadamente do valor do verbo Ser na escrita vergiliana e, em particular, no romance-problema em jeito de carta. Consciente de que a tarefa não iria ser fácil, que teria, necessariamente, que envolver a leitura e releitura (nalguns casos de modo transversal) de todo um conjunto de produções, quer do autor, quer dos que ao seu estudo se dedicaram, quer ainda de obras de carácter filosófico e existencialista, foi com agrado que comecei a minha pesquisa e, a posteriori, a selecção dos materiais que julguei pertinentes para a prossecução do objectivo que me tinha proposto. Por conseguinte, tenho que agradecer a todas as pessoas que me ajudaram, de uma ou de outra forma, em especial ao Professor Doutor João Malaca Casteleiro, pelo facto de ter aceite o meu pedido de orientação da presente Dissertação, pela sua disponibilidade e paciência, pela cedência de alguns materiais, pelos seus comentários sábios e experientes e, acima de tudo, pela sua sabedoria na matéria e pelo interesse demonstrado quanto ao tema, o que se traduz, ao que julgo, naquilo que se entende, verdadeiramente, por orientação de uma Dissertação de Mestrado. Agradeço também aos colegas do curso que me motivaram, em particular à Judite e à Natália, que tiveram a coragem de assumir um compromisso de amizade, pelo facto de me ouvirem, questionarem e, principalmente criticarem e encorajarem aquando das nossas discussões sobre este meu trabalho. Por último, não poderia deixar de referir e agradecer igualmente a simpatia com que fui recebida pela Dona Augusta e pelo senhor professor José Rodrigues, na Vila Josephine1, morada de férias de Vergílio Ferreira, em Melo, e onde foram escritos muitos dos seus trabalhos (nas férias grandes, com uma caneta de nanquim virada ao contrário, para conseguir uma caligrafia mais fina e apurada, e num sofá cor-de-rosa-velho, ao pé da janela, com uma tábua nos joelhos a servir de escritório, o cinzeiro do lado esquerdo2). Gostaria ainda de agradecer a sua pronta e sábia ajuda, por terem partilhado comigo detalhes sobre o autor e que não vêm nos livros, sendo o Professor, ele próprio, um livro aberto no que se refere ao seu cunhado e amigo Vergílio, aos seus trabalhos, à sua vontade de valorizar um escritor que lhe foi tão próximo... Agradeço-lhe ainda o privilégio de me ter permitido trabalhar um pouco no escritório do autor. Esse momento proporcionou-me mais uma de muitas alegrias breves de que tem sido constituída a minha também breve existência, e a consciencialização para o facto de que o meu caminho ainda fica muito longe e, fazendo uso de palavras de Vergílio Ferreira: “A estrada é larga e segura porque foi construída apenas pela experiência dos homens. Não percas mais os teus passos pela areia movediça e estéril…”. Procurarei, pois, seguir estes e outros sábios conselhos, à medida que desenvolver este trabalho.

Efficient artificial activation is indispensable for the success of cloning programs. Strontium has been shown to effectively activate mouse oocytes for nuclear transfer procedures, however, there is limited information on its use for bovine oocytes. The present study had as objectives: (1) to assess the ability of strontium to induce activation and parthenogenetic development in bovine oocytes of different maturational ages in comparison with ethanol; and (2) to verify whether the combination of both treatments improves activation and parthenogenetic development rates. Bovine oocytes were in vitro matured for 24, 26, 28, and 30 h, and treated with ethanol (E, 7% for 5 min) or strontium chloride (S, 10 mM SrCl2 for 5 h) alone or in combination: ethanol + strontium (ES) and strontium + ethanol (SE). Activated oocytes were cultured in vitro in synthetic oviductal fluid (SOF) medium and assessed for pronuclear formation (15-16 h), cleavage (46-48 h) and development to the blastocyst stage (M). Treatment with ethanol and strontium promoted similar results regarding pronuclear formation (E, 20-66.7%; S, 26.7-53.3%; P > 0.05) and cleavage (E, 12.8-40.6%; S, 16.1-41.9%; P > 0.05), regardless of oocyte age. The actions of both strontium and ethanol were influenced by oocyte age: ethanol induced greater activation rates after 28 and 30 h of maturation (48.4 and 66.7% versus 20.0 and 23.3% for 24 and 26 It, respectively; P < 0.05) and strontium after 30 It (53.3%) was superior to 24 and 26h (26.7% for both). Blastocyst development rates were minimal in all treatments (0.0-6.3%; P > 0.05), however, when the mean (+/-S.D.) cell number in blastocysts at the same maturational period was compared, strontium treatment was superior to ethanol for activation rates (82 +/- 5.7 and 89.5 +/- 7.8 versus 54 and 61, at 28 and 30 h, respectively). Improved results were obtained by combined treatments. The combination of ethanol and strontium resulted in similar pronuclear formation (ES, 36.7-83.9%; SE, 53.1-90.3%) and cleavage rates (ES, 31.3-81.3%; SE, 65.6-80.7%). Regarding embryo development, there was no difference (P > 0.05) between treatments, and blastocysts were only obtained in treatment SE at 24 and 26 h (6.5% for both). It is concluded that, SrCl2 induces activation and parthenogenetic development in bovine oocytes. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The present work aims to reflect on the everyday and its Vincentian practices of sociability in the early years of the presence of television in the city of São Vicente (RN), from the memories of the protagonists who witnessed the first insertion of TV set sin the beginning sof 1970s.Thus, the research was guided by some questions deemed relevant to the study in order to understand the most significant changes in the daily Vincentian boosted by the arrival of television in some private houses, which soon became a meeting place, recreation and sociability. At that time, filled the role of TV unites and brings people together. These houses, reinvented in spaces of sociability, were sanctioned by the various actors who gathered daily to include television programming. This popularity of television was measured by the joint efforts of people who moved their homes to homes that had this technical device. Each home with their uniqueness sand peculiarity, which attracted the population frequency f these spaces were frequent. Of course people still sit on the sidewalks, to be held the night rides in the streets and square, but soon came to the program schedule Preferred came into leaving their homes or to homes that had TV, watch them in the design of audiovisual programs. We use the oral memory as the principal methodology in order to interpret the memories recounted by people who lived in that time period studied. For this purpose we constructed a narrative that highlights the categories memory, media, social practices, everyday life and thus has the theoretical and methodological contributions of authors of humanities and social sciences its main foundation. In field research in the use of in-depth interviews, since the narratives of our research is interviewed. The importance of a study of such order, is not only in understanding the TV as an essential mediator for the interaction of individuals in society, from 1970 in São Vicente (RN), but also for the unveiling of his relationship with the daily routines of the Vincentians, founded in environments and symbols that regulated the conduct and reordered the social practices and sociability of these subjects. In this sense, the making of a work on the presence of TV in the city of São Vicente (RN) is also of paramount importance for the history of this media at the national level, since this is nothing more than a set of multiple stories

The Environmental Protection area sof Pitimbu river are important tools for planning and territorial land management. The Pitimbu river protection is aided in laws, so much of Federal stamp, as the Brazilian s Forest Code (Law No. 4771/1965), and in State s and City s Resolutions. So, this research begins in the State s Law No. 8426/2003interpretations, for being the most restrictive in the river's margin occupation and management. The objective is to analyze the applicability of the Environmental Protection areas of Pitimbu river, localized at the State of Rio Grande do Norte, considering environmental legislation and how to use this space by the man. Having specific goals for the discussion of the legislation s scope to this river; the identification of the types of soil s covering and evaluation the effectiveness of Law Nº.8426/2003, as protection instrument and land management. The river is characterized by its ecological importance and for feeding the Jiqui pond, an important reservoir that supplies 30% of drinking water to the east, west and south population sof the capital of the State. Pitimbu river is passing by a process of environmental degradation, originating from actions as deforestations of its ciliary forests by intensive agricultural practices; introduction of urban and industrial effluents leading to its contamination; increase of the pluvial drainage; erosion, sedimentation and discharge of urban waste , along with pressure for urban settlements along its banks. Under the methodological point of view is part of theoretical planning and land management research, and from a vision of social and environmental spaces. It was produced a survey map of the soil s covering, with 16 classes. Divided into coverage and disturbed natural covering. Using the 300 meters spatial limits of the Environmental Protection Strip, according to the State Law. The survey highlighted a higher percentage of classes disturbed, indicating man s interference in the balance of that system, as well as the lack of environmental actions. Leading to the degradation of riparian areas, and lack of conservation of water resources. Finally, it was considered that the strips of environmental protection are not effective as the preservation and territorial ordination

The current study evaluates the ability of equine oocytes matured in different conditions to undergo nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation.. After oocyte transfer, embryonic development was diagnosed at 1.5 and 90 days of gestation. For each group, immature oocytes obtained from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured in vitro (5 replicates). In experiment I, three different media were tested. HTF:BME, SOFaa, and TCM 199. In experiment 11, the HTF:BME was chosen as maturation medium containing pFSH, eFSH, or eFSH + eGH. Nuclear maturation was estimated after stripping the oocytes and staining with Hoechst 33342. The evaluation of cytoplasmic maturation was performed by transmission electron microscopy. For oocyte transfer, six non-cycling recipient mares were used, and 8 to 15 oocytes were transferred in each mare. In experiment I, the results showed no differences (P > .05) in nuclear maturation (MII) among experimental groups. The percentage of MII was 29.3 ( +/- 9.6), 23.4 ( +/- 8.4), and 13.5 ( +/- 12.4) for HTF:BME, SOF, and TCM, respectively. In experiment II, all media tested were efficient in inducing metaphase II. Also, no statistical differences (P > .05) were observed in percentages of nuclear maturation rates when porcine (37.1 +/- 22.4) or equine (25.8 +/- 8.2) FSH were used, or when eFSH + eGH was added to HTF:BME (29.4 +/- 12.3). The analysis of cytoplasmic morphology of oocytes cultured in TCM 199 and SOFaa showed signs of incomplete cytoplasmic maturation and premature cortical reaction. Meanwhile, oocytes cultured in HTF:BME medium presented cytoplasmic characteristics similar to those described by others for in vivo-matured oocytes. The addition of eFSH to the HTF:BME medium resulted in an improvement of cytoplasmic morphology. After oocyte transfer, two mares became pregnant, one from pFSH group and one from eFSH+eGH group. These results indicate that although in vitro matured equine oocytes are capable of fertilization and embryonic development, the percentage of competent oocytes is still low.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of finishing and polishing techniques on surface roughness of resin-based composites (RBCs). Materials and Methods: Forty specimens of each material were cured under Mylar strips and immersed in artificial saliva for 1 wk. Samples were tested with a profilometer to obtain baseline average surface roughness (Ra). Specimens of both RBCs were then finished and polished according to four techniques: (1) Sof-Lex disks; (2) Sof-Lex disks followed by Prisma Gloss; (3) Enhance points; (4) Enhance points followed by Prisma Gloss application. New readings of the roughness pattern were carried out and the difference of post-polishing and baseline values were analyzed. Results: ANOVA test (alpha= 0.05) did not show differences between materials (P= 0.9393) nor interaction effects (P= 0.3094), but significant difference among the finishing/polishing techniques were detected (P= 0.0157). Tukey's test showed that the smoothest surface was obtained when the specimens were treated by Sof-Lex followed by Prosma Gloss polishing paste; and the worst results were obtained after using Enhance points alone.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of two glass-ionomer cements (Vitremer and Chelon-Fil), and one compomer (Dyract) when submitted to different finishing/polishing procedures at different times. A hundred 80-sample discs were made of each material and randomly divided into six finishing/polishing groups: mylar strip (control); Sof-Lex discs; diamond burs; diamond burs/Sof-Lex discs; 30-fluted carbide bur; 30-fluted carbide bur/Sof-Lex discs. These procedures were carried out immediately after preparation of the samples, after 24 and 168 h. Average surface roughness (Ra) was measured with a profilometer and the values were compared using anova (P < 0.05). The smoothest surface for all materials was obtained when cured in contact with the mylar strip. All other tested products increased surface roughness of restorative materials, but Sof-lex discs lead to better results. The worst results were verified with diamond burs. The finishing/polishing procedures, when performed immediately, can improve the roughness of glass-ionomer cements but not of the compomer tested.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of four packable composite resins, SureFil™ (Dentsply, Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Prodigy Condensable™ (Kerr Co., Orange, CA, USA), Filtek P60™ (3M do Brasil, São Paulo, Brazil), and ALERT® (Jeneric/Pentron, Inc., Wallingford, CT, USA) and one microhybrid composite resin (Filtek Z250™, 3M do Brasil) after polishing with four finishing systems. Materials and Methods: Twenty specimens were made of each material (5 mm in diameter and 4 mm high) and were analyzed with a profilometer (Perthometer® S8P, Perthen, Mahr, Germany) to measure the mean surface roughness (Ra). The specimens were then divided into four groups according to the polishing system: group 1 - Sof-Lex™ (3M do Brasil), group 2 - Enhance™ (Dentsply), group 3 - Composite Finishing Kit (KG Sorensen, Barueri, São Paulo, Brazil), and group 4 - Jiffy Polisher Cups® (Ultradent Products, Inc., South Jordan, UT, USA). The specimens were polished and then evaluated for Ra, and the data were subjected to analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and Tukey's test (p = .05). Results: The mean Ra of SureFil polished with Sof-Lex was significantly lower than that of KG points. Prodigy Condensable polished with Enhance showed a significantly less rough surface than when polished with Sof-Lex. Filtek P60 did not exhibit a significant difference with the various polishing systems. For ALERT the lowest mean Ra was obtained with Sof-Lex and the highest mean Ra with KG points. Regarding Filtek Z250, polishing with KG and Jiffy points resulted in a significantly lower mean Ra than when polished with Enhance. Conclusions: Packable composite resins display variable roughness depending on the polishing system used; the Sof-Lex disks and Jiffy points resulted in the best Ra values for the majority of the materials tested.
