De Rubem Fonseca a Paulo Lins: a violência na literatura dos 90
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Este trabalho procura verificar a forma pela qual se dá a presença da violência na literatura brasileira dos anos 1990, buscando entender o significado social dessa violência, passo necessário para se entender, inclusive, a relação entre a forma literária assentada na violência e a formação social do Brasil contemporâneo. Procuramos analisar o romance Agosto de Rubem Fonseca e entender seu significado como romance histórico nos anos 90, década em que se tentava encerrar de vez as aspirações nacionais dos anos 50, época narrada no livro. Igualmente imerso na temática da violência e revelador das características fragmentárias dos anos 90, temos o romance Cidade de Deus, de Paulo Lins, que, como romance etnográfico, procura dar voz a uma população normalmente silenciada e vítima do próprio processo de violenta modernização e falta de perspectivas dos anos 90. Diante das questões sobre a violência na literatura e em nossa própria sociedade, em sua faceta interpessoal e cotidiana, o estudo desses dois romances é importante para compreendermos não só os caminhos de nossa literatura, em termos de uma tradição literária, mas também a maneira como sua estrutura pode nos ajudar a entender a dinâmica de nossa própria sociedade nos anos 90.This work intends to verify the form in which violence is present in the Brazilian literature of the 1990´s, aiming to understand the social meaning of this violence, step required to also understand the relation between the literary form grounded on violence and the social formation of contemporary Brazil. We proceed to analyze the Rubem Fonseca´s Agosto novel trying to understand its meaning as an historic novel written during the 90´s, a decade where it was bound to finish the national aspirations so the 50´s, the narrated period. Equally immersed in the violence theme and revealing the fragmentary characteristics of the 90´s, we have Paulo Lins´s novel Cidade de Deus, which, as an ethnographic novel, intend to give voice to a population usually silenced and victim of a process of violent modernization and lack of perspectives in the 90´s. Facing questions about violence in literature and violence in our own society, in its daily interpersonal display, the study of these novels are important for the comprehension of not only the paths of our literature, in terms of a literary tradition, but also the way in which its structure can help us understand the dynamics of our own society in the 90´s

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells

The Integration of European Stock Markets and Market Timing
No full textIn this research, a European index and a world index were used to test the integration of the national stock markets of fourteen EU countries into the world stock market. A market timing procedure was used to detect differences of performance between the national indexes. The main conclusions drawn are that the European factor is important in explaining the returns of all the national indexes, but the world portfolio seems unnecessary in the cases of nine countries whose stock markets are embedded in the global European stock market. Differences of performance were also detected: the market timing effect being particularly evident in relation to the European market portfolio. Non-participation in the single currency does not seem to have a perceptible influence on the results.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

No full textCom toda a evolução das tecnologias de informação e da Internet cada vez mais se ouve falar de Marketing Digital e da importância que é hoje, de ter um website, como meio de informação, relação com os clientes e de loja online, ou até mesmo como componente estratégica de uma empresa. A avaliação da qualidade de websites é nos dias de hoje tópico de estudo em todo o mundo.
Esta pesquisa tem como objectivo avaliar a qualidade de dois websites – José Maria da
Fonseca e Bacalhôa – através do modelo WebQual, mais propriamente, qual deles tem melhor utilidade, facilidade de uso, entretenimento e relação complementar.
Representa um estudo descritivo, quantitativo e transversal. O modelo utilizado é o WebQual
e é constituído por quatro construtos e doze dimensões.
Esta pesquisa utilizou um inquérito como método de recolher as respostas dos inquiridos. O questionário foi adaptado de um outro questionário realizado num estudo idêntico por Wilker Gomes Raposo, Rita de Cássia de Faria Pereira e Jozemar Pereira dos Santos.
Para a análise dos dados recolhidos utilizou-se o programa estatístico SPSS, onde se calculou a análise de confiabilidade através do alfa de Cronbach, as estatísticas descritivas e os testes T-student para amostras emparelhadas, com o objectivo de comparar ambos os resultados
obtidos de cada um dos websites. O site José Maria da Fonseca depois de analisados os dados foi superior ao Bacalhôa concluindo-se assim que tem melhor utilidade , facilidade de uso, entretenimento e relação complementar como pode conferir ao longo do desenvolvimento deste trabalho de investigação.In view of the development in information technology and the Internet, we increasingly hear about digital marketing and its importance of business world nowadays.

Emended diagnosis The male of Idiops carajas (Figs 13A–I, 14) differs from the other Neotropical species, except I. petiti, by the palpal tibia having spines concentrated on the basal half of the retrolateral depression (Figs 13C, 14D), apophysis with a narrow rectangular apical branch (Figs 13G–H, 14C) and by the presence of a lateral lamella that extends along the median portion of the embolus (Figs 13E–F). Differs from I. petiti by having the subapical portion of the embolus thickened in dorsal view (Fig. 13D) and the arrow-shaped apical end in retrolateral view (Figs 13E–F, 14E). Females (Fig. 13J–L) are distinguished from congeners, except I. petiti, by having the spermathecae with a sclerotized trapezoidal base. Differs from I. petiti by the ducts having a thickened basal half and shorter apical half and by the rounded receptacles, separated from the ducts by a strong constriction (Fig. 13L).
