This paper analyses the texts of two distinct versions of the protestant Bible, namely: Almeida, Revista e Corrigida (ARC) and Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje (NTLH). In this sense, it investigates the linguistic-textual configurations of such versions with the aim of identifying relevant differences between them and the implications for attribution of meaning between the first and the latter. The Bible is a book of historic influence and its importance is not limited only to the religious realm, but is also considered by many as a work of high literary value. It currently remains in full and wide circulation in the historic, religious and cultural contexts. Furthermore, this book gathers important discursive and textual-linguistic aspects worthy of investigation, especially, if the fact of contrasting its different versions is considered. From the two biblical versions (ARC and NTLH), three distinct discursive genres are of interest (poem, parable and epistle), with five texts from each version, resulting in a total of ten texts. In this sense, we are also interested in the various typological sequences involved in the organization of the discursive genres selected, observing if the predominance of such sequences implies in greater or lesser facility/difficulty of comprehension. We also utilized as a support for analysis the reading protocols of diverse informants, taking into consideration the religious beliefs, the level of education and age, with an aim to verify if the formal differences of the selected texts and the social profile of readers could cause possible changes to the process of text comprehension. To carry out the analysis, we used Usage-Based Linguistics (or Cognitive-Functional Linguistics) as a theoreticalmethodological support, which encompasses contributions from the North American functional tradition and cognitive linguistics.

This study intends to enhance the existing knowledge concerning the patterns of the uses of space for low cost housing in Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, by way of comparative morphological studies in spatial arrangements and articulations regarding three distinct, however inter-related, sets of social housing: (1) a development comprising 21 self-built houses erected on public routes and illegal plots within a tract of land originally designed to be an industrial development: (2) architect-designed houses built by the public authority in order to accommodate the previous 21 (plus a few additions) families occupying the self-built dwellings, and (3) modifications performed by dwellers on a total of those 24 houses built by the public authority after an occupation period of one year. The predominant uses of each room within the self-built and modified houses were represented in ground plan, based on empirical observation, surveys with dwellers and the use of analytical procedures of morphologic analysis of nature predominantly geometric (specific) and topology (space syntax analysis). A scale of priorities was identified in relation to the uses of each room, its geometrical arrangement (adjacency, front/back relations etc), and underlying structures (connectivity, depth and spatial integration) in order to establish congruencies and non-congruencies between a social-cultural order embedded in the self-built domestic space and the design logic contained in the houses offered by official agencies. The comparative analysis points towards the convivial existence of two tendencies: one that seems to reinforce a design logic inasmuch as the additions and modifications performed by the dwellers do not alter but even emphasize the original configuration of the designed houses, and another one in which those patterns are subverted in accordance with a logic which, to a lesser or greater degree, coincides with that of the self-built dwellings

INTRODUCTION: Human sexuality is recognized as one of the pillars of quality of life. In women, sexual function is influenced throughout life by many factors that can lead to the appearance of changes in the cycle of sexual response, and hence the quality of life (QOL). Pregnancy is a period of change, leaving them physically and mentally vulnerable, which may affect sexual function and quality of life during pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between sexual function, presence of depressive symptoms and quality of life in pregnant women. METHODS: The study included 207 pregnant women attending prenatal examination of the Maternity Divine Love, Parnamirim / RN and the participants of the Course for Pregnant Women of the Department of Physical Therapy at UFRN (central campus). Initially it was applied, a questionnaire containing questions about sociodemographic, gynecological and obstetric data, as well as body and sexual self-knowledge. Sexual function was assessed using the Sexual Function Index Female (Female Sexual Function Index - FSFI). To assess the quality of life, we used the Quality Index Ferrans Life & Powers mom. The presence of depressive symptoms was verified by applying the Beck Depression Inventory. The Shapiro-Wilk test for normality was carried variables, Mann-Whitney test for carrying out the comparisons and the Wilcoxon test for comparing the monthly sexual frequency before and during pregnancy. Multiple linear regression was used to verify the relationship between sexual function, depressive symptoms and quality of life. We used the Spearman correlation to check correlation between the variables. Ap value <0.05 was adopted. RESULTS: Sexual function and depressive symptoms were related quality of life (R2 = 0.30, p <0.001). Depression had a moderate negative correlation with quality of life (0.53; p <0.001), whereas sexual function showed a positive correlation with low quality of life (0.22; p = 0.001). The planning of pregnancy, education and income shown to influence depression scores. With respect to sexual function, it was seen that during pregnancy, a reduction in the monthly frequency of sexual partner (Z = -10.56; p <0.001). Among the sexual domain, just the pain, showed a statistically significant difference compared between the second and third quarter (Z = -1.91, p <0.05). The score of the quality of life of women with sexual dysfunction was xvii significantly lower than that pregnant women without dysfunction (Z = -2.87, p = 0.004). Conclusion: Sexual function and the presence of depressive symptoms are related to the quality of life of pregnant women.

The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate the relevance of adopting a functionalist model which integrates aspects of both the main and completive clause to describe the phenomenon of clausal complementation. It is adopted the Functional Discourse Grammar theoretical framework which, unlike most approaches to the theme, focusing only on properties of the main clause, allows the analysis to combine functional aspects of both the main and the complement clauses. As a result of the discussions, the study highlights the importance of integrated analysis like this one for a broader comprehension about the formfunction relations in Portuguese complement constructions.

O presente trabalho se propõe fazer uma aproximação aos estudos sobre a tradicionalmente chamada Feira de São Cristóvão, levando em consideração a relação entre os agentes partícipes e a dinâmica no espaço. O objetivo é compreender melhor a força que move os atores no sentido da mudança da forma da feira para a forma do Centro Luiz Gonzaga de Tradições Nordestinas (CLGTN), e assim me aproximar da seguinte questão: Por que uma forma de comércio como a modelada na Feira de São Cristóvão, popularmente conhecida como feira dos paraíbas, sobrevive à força das mudanças operadas no ramo, dando lugar aos sofistificados shopping-centers? Para isso, faço uma aproximação ao estado de arte da pesquisa na área com base nas seguintes categorias de análise: a Feira como forma de produção do espaço e a relação Forma-Conteúdo, a relação espaço-identidade na feira e a relação entre agentes internos e externos no Espaço. Vendo a migração como movimento responsável pela constituição de um espaço social e territorialmente diferenciado do nordestino na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, é por ela que inicio a exposição. Esta se continua com a análise dos trabalhos escolhidos para estudo, via as categorias indicadas e, com um capítulo no qual procuro repensar a feira a partir da relação global-local que vem referenciando as reflexões acumuladas na área do urbano a partir da segunda metade do século XX. Por fim, concluo observando que a permanência da feira se deve a um duplo movimento de resistência-absorção que, se redefinindo no tempo e no espaço, não consegue, entretanto, apagar os traços da tradição que lhe deu origem.

As carbapenemases, serínicas e metalo-β-lactamases (MBLs), formam um grupo cada vez mais importante de β-lactamases capazes de tornar as bactérias resistentes a antibióticos β-lactâmicos, incluindo carbapenemos utilizados como antibióticos de último recurso no tratamento de infecções causadas por bactérias multirresistentes. De modo a compreender melhor a relação estrutura-função deste grupo de enzimas, prosseguimos com a caracterização bioquímica e estrutural das carbapenemases SFC-1 e Sfh-I específicas de Serratia fonticola UTAD54, uma estirpe ambiental isolada previamente de águas de consumo não tratadas no Nordeste de Portugal. Ambas as β-lactamases foram sobre-expressas em Escherichia coli e purificadas por cromatografia líquida. A SFC-1 recombinante, uma carbapenemase serínica, hidrolisa eficientemente antibióticos β-lactâmicos de todas as classes e exibe, comparativamente a enzimas relacionadas (ex. KPC), uma maior eficiência contra a ceftazidima e uma menor susceptibilidade aos inibidores convencionais das β-lactamases. As estruturas do cristal da SFC-1 nativa e de complexos de mutantes, obtidos por mutagénese dirigida, com o meropenemo não hidrolisado e na forma de acetilenzima foram determinados por substituição molecular utilizando cristalografia de raios-X. A estrutura da SFC-1 contém todas as características conservadas do centro activo das carbapenemases de classe A. Nas estruturas dos mutantes o meropenemo aparece orientado no centro activo por Thr236 e Thr238, posicionando-o próximo da Ser130 para a transferência do protão. Nas enzimas de classe A inibidas por carbapenemos, a interacção com a Arg244 impõe uma orientação diferente do meropenemo ligado, prejudicando a transferência do protão. Estas constituem as primeiras estruturas de uma carbapenemase de classe A com um carbapenemo no centro activo e revelam que estas enzimas alteram a orientação do meropenemo ligado para promover a catálise, sem alteração significativa da estrutura geral. A Sfh-I, tal como as outras MBLs da subclasse B2, apresenta um perfil de substratos reduzido, que inclui maioritariamente os carbapenemos. A Sfh-I hidrolisa imipenemo e meropenemo com um kcat de 51 e 109 s-1 e um KM de 79 e 215 μM, respectivamente. A Sfh-I liga um equivalente de zinco, como demonstrado por espectrometria de massa. Contrariamente a enzimas da subclasse B2 previamente caracterizadas, a Sfh-I hidrolisa a cefepima, mostrando que a Sfh-I é uma MBL da subclasse B2 com propriedades únicas. Por espectroscopia de fluorescência mostrou-se que a Sfh-I é capaz de ligar até 3 equivalentes de zinco (Kd2 = 95 μM; Kd3 = 2.3 mM). A estrutura do cristal da Sfh-I, determinada por substituição molecular utilizando a CphA como modelo, é a primeira para uma MBL da subclasse B2 não ligada. Esta estrutura revela a disposição das moléculas de água no centro activo corroborando um mecanismo catalítico para as MBLs da subclasse B2 no qual a His118, em vez do Asp120 proposto anteriormente, activa a molécula de água nucleofílica.

A função cardíaca é fortemente condicionada pela mioarquitectura do coração, pelo que o estudo da relação morfologia-função ventricular nos mamíferos é de grande importância no diagnóstico e tratamento de patologias cardíacas. O cálculo dos volumes cardíacos durante todo o ciclo cardíaco tem uma importância fundamental para o estudo da função ventricular e para a definição dos padrões hemodinâmicos. Foi objectivo deste trabalho, o estudo de índices de função sistólica ventricular esquerda, em 25 cães (Cannis lupus familiaris), através da utilização de diferentes técnicas ecocardiográficas, como o Modo M, ecocardiografia bidimensional, Doppler tecidular e a ecocardiografia de contraste. Foi utilizado contraste ultrasonográfico, para melhorar a definição do endocárdio e possibilitar maior rigor no cálculo dos volumes ventriculares, e na avaliação da função ventricular sisto-diastólica global e regional. Os resultados apresentados foram sujeitos a tratamento estatístico com software Analyze-it. O Doppler tecidular mostrou ser um método robusto para avaliar a função sistólica. A ecocardiografia de contraste permitiu não só obter uma melhor definição endocárdica, como obter valores de fracção de ejecção com diferença estatisticamente significativa. Como os três métodos utilizados avaliam diferentes aspectos da função sistólica, função ventricular radial, circunferencial e longitudinal, não podem ser comparados directamente entre si.
