Variação das unidades fraseoterminológicas da culinária entre português brasileiro e português europeu

A criação de uniões, como a União Europeia e o Mercosul, o aumento do intercâmbio de mercadorias, de informações e conhecimentos, etc. estabelece novos trabalhos na área da Terminologia Científica e Técnica, tanto bilíngue como monolíngue, inclusive entre variantes de uma mesma língua, como o Português Brasileiro (PB) e o Português Europeu (PE), o que torna relevante o conhecimento das variantes fraseoterminológicas entre duas normas linguísticas para o especialista e para o tradutor. Sendo a Culinária uma área que proporciona vários tipos de intercâmbios, como linguístico, cultural, mercantil, etc. e, dessa forma, necessitando trocar conhecimentos, nosso estudo propõe, através de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar que engloba a Terminologia, numa ótica variacionista, a Fraseologia e a Linguística de Corpus, estabelecer critérios para identificar, emparelhar, contrastar e descrever as unidades fraseoterminológicas (UFT) da Culinária do PB e do PE, almejando, por conseguinte, estruturá-las numa ferramenta que seja útil aos especialistas, estudantes e tradutores dessa área. O desenvolvimento deste trabalho está organizado em sete capítulos. O primeiro, apresenta a Culinária, traçando um panorama histórico dessa área, e estabelece o mapa conceitual da Culinária que, além de servir para a organização das relações conceituais no dicionário, limita o universo da pesquisa. O segundo aborda a variação em Terminologia, bem como as principais tendências da Terminologia que aceitam a variação terminológica. O terceiro explana a Fraseologia, desde a língua corrente até à língua de especialidade, e estabelece os critérios para recolha dos candidatos a UFT da Culinária. O quarto apresenta brevemente a Linguística de Corpus e traça os caminhos seguidos para a constituição dos dois corpora textuais da Culinária, compostos de receitas culinárias e técnicas de preparo, os quais serviram para o levantamento da terminologia. O quinto trata da coleta e organização das unidades fraseoterminológicas da Culinária em PB bem como das respectivas variantes em PE e seu armazenamento em Base de Dados. O sexto, analisa a variação entre os pares de UFT selecionados para esse fim, descreve os contrastes detectados, e apresenta uma tipologia contrastiva dessas UFT variantes entre PB e PE. O sétimo apresenta o projeto do Dicionário Fraseológico Contrastivo de Culinária: Português Brasileiro - Português Europeu, descrevendo suas partes e o sistema de remissivas. Com base nas reflexões teóricas e na análise dos dados recolhidos, pudemos, além de identificar, emparelhar e descrever as diferentes formas assumidas do discurso da Culinária pelas UFT, chegar a um projeto de dicionário fraseoterminológico, cuja microestrutura possibilitará, mais que compreender o significado da UT, encontrar elementos para produzir um texto, visando, desse modo, as necessidades reais de tradutores e redatores, que carecem de recursos para o uso adequado das UFT presentes nas línguas de especialidade. Os resultados obtidos reafirmam que a variação terminológica é um fenômeno inerente aos domínios de especialidade, assim como às línguas naturais em que estão inseridas e, portanto, não deve ser ignorado na hora de elaborar dicionários terminológicos.

Variação terminológica formal no diploma regulador do subsistema e no estatuto orgânico do Ministério do Ensino Superior - Angola

O presente trabalho aborda o tema das variações terminológicas formais presentes no diploma regulador do subsistema do ensino superior e no estatuto orgânico do Ministério do Ensino Superior (MES). Partímos do princípio de que as variações terminológicas formais são fenómenos que resultam da actividade discursiva, pelo que devem ser vistos de forma natural. Os fundamentos teóricos que suportaram o presente trabalho foram: a Teoria Geral da Terminologia (TGT), a Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia (TCT) e a Socioterminologia que se dedica à análise das unidades terminológicas do ponto de vista funcional. Uma determinada unidade terminológica é funcional porque pode assumir determinadas formas mediante o contexto discursivo, sem que o conceito se altere. Nesta medida, a posse de um corpus é imprescindível. O corpus de análise com o qual trabalhámos diz respeito à legislação do subsistema do ensino superior, onde pudemos identificar 25.489 formas, através do programa CONCAPP. Posteriormente, fizemos o levantamento das formas de alta e baixa frequência, que nos permitiu fazer o levantamento das concordâncias. A partir desse momento, identificámos os casos de variação formal morfossintáctica e lexical. Na análise dos dados, procedémos à caracterização dos tipos de variação e apresentámos a tipologia das estruturas das variantes concorrentes. Por fim, terminámos o trabalho com a proposta de elaboração de uma base de dados para o grupo técnico para eleboração dos projectos de lei do subsistema do ensino superior, em jeito de recomendação.

Multilingual Variation in the context of Linked Data

In this paper we present a revisited classification of term variation in the light of the Linked Data initiative. Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web with the idea of transforming it into a global graph. One of the crucial steps of this initiative is the linking step, in which datasets in one or more languages need to be linked or connected with one another. We claim that the linking process would be facilitated if datasets are enriched with lexical and terminological information. Being that the final aim, we propose a classification of lexical, terminological and semantic variants that will become part of a model of linguistic descriptions that is currently being proposed within the framework of the W3C Ontology-Lexica Community Group to enrich ontologies and Linked Data vocabularies. Examples of modeling solutions of the different types of variants are also provided.

Analyse et représentation de la variation terminologique et de la multidimentionalité dans un thésaurus : le cas du métalangage de la terminologie

Le présent travail consiste à proposer un modèle de représentation des notions théoriques et pratiques de la terminologie et de leurs relations sous forme de thésaurus. Selon la norme ISO 25964-1, 2011, « un thésaurus est un vocabulaire contrôlé et structuré dans lequel les concepts sont représentés par des termes, ayant été organisés afin de rendre explicites les relations entre les concepts (…) ». Notre objectif est de créer un outil pédagogique à la suite d’une réflexion théorique englobant différentes perspectives notionnelles au sein de cette discipline. Les enjeux soulevés par la classification des concepts de certains champs de savoir (notamment ceux donnant lieu à différentes perspectives) n’ont pas été approfondis suffisamment dans la littérature de la terminologie, ni dans celle portant sur les thésaurus. Comment décrire des concepts qui sont sujets à des dissensions théoriques entre les différentes écoles de pensée? Comment classer les différentes relations entretenues par les concepts théoriques et les applications pratiques d’une discipline? À ces questions s’ajoute celle de la prise en compte de ces difficultés dans un thésaurus. Nous commençons par délimiter et organiser les concepts saillants du domaine. Ensuite, à l’aide d’un corpus comprenant des publications associées à différentes approches de la terminologie, nous étudions les réalisations linguistiques de ces concepts et leurs relations en contexte, dans le but de les décrire, de les classer et de les définir. Puis, nous faisons l’encodage de ces données à l’aide d’un logiciel de gestion de thésaurus, en respectant les normes ISO applicables. La dernière étape consiste à définir la visualisation de ces données afin de la rendre conviviale et compréhensible. Enfin, nous présentons les caractéristiques fondamentales du Thésaurus de la terminologie. Nous avons analysé et représenté un échantillon de 45 concepts et leurs termes reliés. Les différents phénomènes associés à ces descripteurs comme la multidimensionalité, la variation conceptuelle et la variation dénominative sont aussi représentés dans notre thésaurus.

Ant-caterpillar Antagonism At The Community Level: Interhabitat Variation Of Tritrophic Interactions In A Neotropical Savanna.

Ant foraging on foliage can substantially affect how phytophagous insects use host plants and represents a high predation risk for caterpillars, which are important folivores. Ant-plant-herbivore interactions are especially pervasive in cerrado savanna due to continuous ant visitation to liquid food sources on foliage (extrafloral nectaries, insect honeydew). While searching for liquid rewards on plants, aggressive ants frequently attack or kill insect herbivores, decreasing their numbers. Because ants vary in diet and aggressiveness, their effect on herbivores also varies. Additionally, the differential occurrence of ant attractants (plant and insect exudates) on foliage produces variable levels of ant foraging within local floras and among localities. Here, we investigate how variation of ant communities and of traits among host plant species (presence or absence of ant attractants) can change the effect of carnivores (predatory ants) on herbivore communities (caterpillars) in a cerrado savanna landscape. We sampled caterpillars and foliage-foraging ants in four cerrado localities (70-460 km apart). We found that: (i) caterpillar infestation was negatively related with ant visitation to plants; (ii) this relationship depended on local ant abundance and species composition, and on local preference by ants for plants with liquid attractants; (iii) this was not related to local plant richness or plant size; (iv) the relationship between the presence of ant attractants and caterpillar abundance varied among sites from negative to neutral; and (v) caterpillars feeding on plants with ant attractants are more resistant to ant predation than those feeding on plants lacking attractants. Liquid food on foliage mediates host plant quality for lepidopterans by promoting generalized ant-caterpillar antagonism. Our study in cerrado shows that the negative effects of generalist predatory ants on herbivores are detectable at a community level, affecting patterns of abundance and host plant use by lepidopterans. The magnitude of ant-induced effects on caterpillar occurrence across the cerrado landscape may depend on how ants use plants locally and how they respond to liquid food on plants at different habitats. This study enhances the relevance of plant-ant and ant-herbivore interactions in cerrado and highlights the importance of a tritrophic perspective in this ant-rich environment.

Weight Variation In Users Of Depot-medroxyprogesterone Acetate, The Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System And A Copper Intrauterine Device For Up To Ten Years Of Use.

Data on record regarding weight variation in depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) users are controversial. To date, no studies have yet evaluated weight variation in DMPA and LNG-IUS users in up to ten years of use compared to non-hormonal contraceptive users. A retrospective study analysed weight variations in 2138 women using uninterruptedly DMPA (150 mg intramuscularly, three-monthly; n = 714), the LNG-IUS (n = 701) or a copper-intrauterine device (Cu-IUD; n = 723). At the end of the first year of use, there was a mean weight increase of 1.3 kg, 0.7 kg and 0.2 kg among the DMPA-, LNG-IUS- and Cu-IUD users, respectively, compared to weight at baseline (p < 0.0001). After ten years of use, the mean weight had risen by 6.6 kg, 4.0 and 4.9 kg among the DMPA-, LNG-IUS- and Cu-IUD users, respectively. DMPA-users had gained more weight than LNG-IUS- (p = 0.0197) and than Cu-IUD users (p = 0.0294), with the latter two groups not differing significantly from each other in this respect (p = 0.5532). Users of hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptive methods gained a significant amount of weight over the years. DMPA users gained more weight over the treatment period of up to ten years than women fitted with either a LNG-IUS or a Cu-IUD.

Investigation Of Genetic Factors Underlying Typical Orofacial Clefts: Mutational Screening And Copy Number Variation.

Typical orofacial clefts (OFCs) comprise cleft lip, cleft palate and cleft lip and palate. The complex etiology has been postulated to involve chromosome rearrangements, gene mutations and environmental factors. A group of genes including IRF6, FOXE1, GLI2, MSX2, SKI, SATB2, MSX1 and FGF has been implicated in the etiology of OFCs. Recently, the role of the copy number variations (CNVs) has been studied in genetic defects and diseases. CNVs act by modifying gene expression, disrupting gene sequence or altering gene dosage. The aims of this study were to screen the above-mentioned genes and to investigate CNVs in patients with OFCs. The sample was composed of 23 unrelated individuals who were grouped according to phenotype (associated with other anomalies or isolated) and familial recurrence. New sequence variants in GLI2, MSX1 and FGF8 were detected in patients, but not in their parents, as well as in 200 control chromosomes, indicating that these were rare variants. CNV screening identified new genes that can influence OFC pathogenesis, particularly highlighting TCEB3 and KIF7, that could be further analyzed. The findings of the present study suggest that the mechanism underlying CNV associated with sequence variants may play a role in the etiology of OFC.

Variation of the anal resting pressure induced by postexpiratory apnea effort in patients with constipation

CONTEXT: Intestinal constipation - a common symptom among the general population - is more frequent in women. It may be secondary to an improper diet or organic or functional disturbances, such as dyskinesia of the pelvic floor. This is basically characterized by the absence of relaxation or paradoxical contraction of the pelvic floor and anal sphincter during evacuation. OBJECTIVE: To analyze, by manometric data, the anal pressure variation at rest, during evacuation effort by using the Valsalva maneuver and forced post-expiratory apnea in subjects with secondary constipation. METHODS: Twenty-one patients (19 females - 90.4%) with a mean age of 47.5 years old (23-72) were studied. The diagnosis was performed using anorectal manometry, with a catheter containing eight channels disposed at the axial axis, measuring the proximal (1) and distal (2) portions of the anal orifice. The elevation of the pressure values in relation to the resting with the evacuation effort was present in all patients. The Agachan score was used for clinical evaluation of constipation. The variables studied were: mean anal pressure of the anal orifice for 20 seconds at rest, the effort of evacuation using Valsalva maneuver and the effort of evacuation during apnea after forced expiration, as well as the area under the curve of the manometric tracing at moments Valsalva and apnea. RESULTS: The analysis of the mean values of the anal pressure variation at rest evidenced difference between proximal and distal channels (P = 0.007), independent of the moment and tendency to differ during moments Valsalva and apnea (P = 0.06). The mean of values of the area under the manometric tracing curve showed differences between moments Valsalva and apnea (P = 0.0008), either at the proximal portion or at the distal portion of the anal orifice. CONCLUSION: The effort of evacuation associated with postexpiratory apnea, when compared with the effort associated with the Valsalva maneuver, provides lower elevation of anal pressure at rest by the parameter area under the curve.

Anatomic variation of cranial parasympathetic ganglia

Having broad knowledge of anatomy is essential for practicing dentistry. Certain anatomical structures call for detailed studies due to their anatomical and functional importance. Nevertheless, some structures are difficult to visualize and identify due to their small volume and complicated access. Such is the case of the parasympathetic ganglia located in the cranial part of the autonomic nervous system, which include: the ciliary ganglion (located deeply in the orbit, laterally to the optic nerve), the pterygopalatine ganglion (located in the pterygopalatine fossa), the submandibular ganglion (located laterally to the hyoglossus muscle, below the lingual nerve), and the otic ganglion (located medially to the mandibular nerve, right beneath the oval foramen). The aim of this study was to present these structures in dissected anatomic specimens and perform a comparative analysis regarding location and morphology. The proximity of the ganglia and associated nerves were also analyzed, as well as the number and volume of fibers connected to them. Human heads were dissected by planes, partially removing the adjacent structures to the point we could reach the parasympathetic ganglia. With this study, we concluded that there was no significant variation regarding the location of the studied ganglia. Morphologically, our observations concur with previous classical descriptions of the parasympathetic ganglia, but we observed variations regarding the proximity of the otic ganglion to the mandibular nerve. We also observed that there were variations regarding the number and volume of fiber bundles connected to the submandibular, otic, and pterygopalatine ganglia.

Intrapupal temperature variation during Er,Cr: YSGG enamel irradiation on carries prevention

Studies have shown the cariostatic effect of Er,Cr:YSGG (2.78 mm) laser irradiation on human enamel and have suggested its use on caries prevention. However there are still no reports on the intrapulpal temperature increase during enamel irradiation using parameters for caries prevention. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the temperature variation in the pulp chamber during human enamel irradiation with Er,Cr:YSGG laser at different energy densities. Fifteen enamel blocks obtained from third molars (3 x 3 x 3 mm) were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=5): G1 - Er,Cr:YSGG laser 0.25 W, 20 Hz, 2.84 J/cm², G2 - Er,Cr:YSGG laser 0.50 W, 20 Hz, 5.68 J/cm², G3 - Er,Cr:YSGG laser 0.75 W, 20 Hz, 8.52 J/cm². During enamel irradiation, two thermocouples were fixed in the inner surface of the specimens and a thermal conducting paste was used. One-way ANOVA did not show statistically significant difference among the experimental groups (a=0.05). There was intrapulpal temperature variation <0.1ºC for all irradiation parameters. In conclusion, under the tested conditions, the use of Er,Cr:YSGG laser with parameters set for caries prevention lead to an acceptable temperature increase in the pulp chamber.
