No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística, Florianópolis, 2013Abstract: This thesis is the result of a research which had as objective analyzing Euclides da Cunha´s metaphorical discourse about Amazonia, and how that discourse is organized in the texts written by this author. The design of this general objective arose from the following research problems: what is Euclides da Cunha´s metaphorical discourse about Amazonia made of? What metaphors does he use to describe Amazonia in his texts? Why did he use so many metaphors to refer to the region? The study has searched for answer(s) to such questions, on the limits of the research nature, which has followed along three big guiding axes: Amazonia, Euclides da Cunha, and Metaphor. Through the analysis of Euclides´s texts, I try to show that he was a good metaphorist. I make the reading of the Amazonian metaphors in Euclides from a classical approaching (initiated by Aristotle), an interactionist approaching (whose precursor was I. A. Richards, and whose main exponent was Max Black), and conceptual approaching (created by George Lakoff and Max Johnson), and the live metaphor (proposed by Ricoeur). I explore, from each one of these theories, metaphors which Euclides da Cunha created for reflecting about his work and for describing geographical and landscaping aspects of Amazonia, as well as the people, social relationships, boundary conflicts, and other region snapshots. I describe Euclides da Cunha´s views on the Amazonia, having as starting point his Amazonian metaphors, and I explore the dichotomy on artistic writing versus scientific writing on the writer´s texts. The study has its support on one basic hypotheses: Euclides da Cunha, on his Amazonian texts, fights two crucial dilemmas: firstly the difficulty of dealing with a threefold boundary he had to pass by: boundaries of territory, of science, and of comprehensible things; secondly, the metalinguistic reflections about his texts, when he stumbles before science crossed lines with fiction, by feeling incompatibility between literary text and scientific text, but at the same time, he does not get rid of the trend of conciliating these two methodologies, inconceivable for him. In this work, I defend the thesis that the metaphor was the recourse found by Euclides da Cunha for dealing with two dilemmas. I develop considerations about this dichotomy in Euclides da Cunha´s writings, taking as basis the theoretical considerations of Ricoeur (1983), Lakoff and Johnson (2002) and Paiva (2005), principally. The methodological way of this thesis was made by the channel of bibliographic research, including on this purpose: the decisive points of travellers´ writing tradition about the Amazonia region, Carvajal´s reports on the nineteenth century; Euclides da Cunha´s texts, mainly those on Amazonia collectanea ? a lost paradise, published in 2003 by Editora Valer in Manaus/Am, besides the author´s active letters where he refers to the region; texts of theories about metaphors regarding different views and reflections on the dichotomy scientific language versus artistic language. The bibliographic research has supplied elements for the theoretical foundation and contributed for reinforcing the analyses and the final version of this thesis. Among the theoretical principles, indispensable for the study support, are the concepts on Amazonia, metaphor, metalanguage, and literature. The checking of different views and slopes on metaphor which I revisit has allowed me to recollect supplementary data, from diverse conceptions, which decisively contributed for enabling me a more diversified view, on different angles, about the main metaphors that Euclides da Cunha created on his interpretation of Amazonia. And, considering that the author´s texts are full of metaphors, I pointed out for this study only those that are relevant for the hypothesis highlighted. The research points out that Euclides wanted to build a language that synthesized the science and art truth. Writing about Amazonia, he has started this discourse, but it was incomplete, like the own earth incompleteness. Euclides has found the key for the metaphor enigma ? it only is able to say the unsayable, translate the untranslatable, embrace the unembraceable. Therefore, Euclides used it without parsimony. Metaphor is introduced there as a bridge over the ineffable abyss. And it still contributes to fill in many troublesome gaps both on scientific and artistic language. So I conclude that both in the case of sertões baianos and Amazonia, it was the metaphors that have redeemed Euclides, giving vigor to his writings and offering an access key to an unfinished world for in a certain way comprehend him

Elaboração da base de dados geográficos de Assú-RN com o uso de geotecnologias livres
No full textGeoprocessing is the set of techniques used for the treatment of spatial information or georeferenced data. These techniques include Cartography, Conventional Topography, Global Positioning System (GPS), Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS), starting from the use of simple tools and instruments to the use of positioning satellites. However, the use of geoprocessing techniques is difficult to access in terms of cost or difficulty of use. In this context, this work aims to promote the updating of the cartographic base of the municipality of Assú-RN from free data processed in a free GIS environment. Academic works, documents from specific websites and available books that addressed the topic for study were used as a source for analysis. In this way, it was possible to obtain files for mapping in different segments that help the municipality in its urban management. Thus, it was possible to observe that the use of geoprocessing techniques, through free software is feasible and important for obtaining information, enabling the updating of the cartographic database of small cities.O geoprocessamento é o conjunto de técnicas utilizadas para o tratamento de informações espaciais ou dados georreferenciados. Essas técnicas têm em sua constituição a Cartografia, Topografia convencional, Sistema de Posicionamento Global (GPS), Sensoriamento Remoto e Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG`s), partindo da utilização de ferramentas e instrumentos simples até a utilização de satélites de posicionamento. Porém o uso das técnicas de geoprocessamento mostra-se de difícil acesso quanto seu custo ou dificuldade de utilização. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo promover a atualização da base cartográfica do município de Assú-RN a partir de dados gratuitos processados em ambiente SIG livre. Foi utilizado como fonte para análise os trabalhos acadêmicos, documentos de sites específicos e livros disponíveis que abordaram o tema para estudo. Desse modo, foi possível obter arquivos para a realização de mapeamento em diferentes seguimentos que ajudem o município em sua gestão urbana. Dessa maneira, foi possível observar que o uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento, através de softwares livres é viável e importante para a obtenção de informações, possibilitando a atualização da base de dados cartográficos de municípios de pequeno porte.Trabalho não financiado por agência de fomento, ou autofinanciad

A new species of Heterocotyle Scott, 1904 (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) from the gills of Dasyatis guttata (Dasyatidae) in southwestern Atlantic waters off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
No full textHeterocotyle sulamericana n. sp. is described from the gills of Dasyatis guttata (Bloch & Schneider) caught off the coast of Brazil near Rio de Janeiro. This species can be distinguished from all other members of Heterocotyle Scott, 1904 by a combination of the morphology of the male copulatory organ, which is a short, slightly curved, sclerotised tube with no accessory piece, and the haptor, which has a single ridge surmounting all septa. This is the first Heterocotyle species to be described from the southwestern Atlantic.Cláudia Portes Santos, Antônia Lúcia Santos, Rodolfo Cunha, Leslie A. Chishol
Fundamental rights in the reasoning of Judge Cunha Rodrigues
No full textBased on the writings of Judge Cunha Rodrigues, the author finds that due to the current prevalence of the case law of the Court of Justice on fundamental rights, the primordial establishment of the principles of primacy and direct effect. He draws attention to the functionalist consequences of the case law of the Court of Justice regarding the relationship between the Union and the Member States and the birth of the concept of Union citizenship, contributing to overcome what had once only aspired to be the construction of a common market. Finally, he notes the Union deadlock after the creation of the single currency, divided between developing the political project and the intergovernmental retreat, supported by national electorates.</jats:p

Vide bulário eletrônico: a interpretação dos modalizadores em corpus de textos on-line de bulas de medicamentos brasileiras
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística.Esta tese é o resultado de uma proposta de pesquisa que visa caracterizar a modalização, por meio do estudo de modalizadores, em textos on-line de bulas de medicamentos brasileiras. Além disso, fazer com que o leitor perceba que a iniciativa de estudar a modalização nas bulas está relacionada ao fato de a modalização ser uma das características fortes deste tipo textual, bem como que ela sofre influência da legislação que regula este tipo textual. Deste modo, nosso foco principal é a caracterização dos textos de bula de medicamento, com a modalização e a padronização vinculadas explicitamente a esta caracterização como marcas de destaque. O estudo se baseia, principalmente, na especificação dos itens lexicais típicos, distintivos ou mais característicos deste tipo textual, explicitando, desta maneira, de que modo a linguagem das bulas difere da de outros tipos textuais. Esta explicitação de diferenças requer a comparação do corpus de estudo com um corpus de referência. O corpus de estudo é constituído de 415 textos de bulas de medicamentos brasileiras, contendo 2.288.993 tokens em português direcionado aos pacientes e aos profissionais da saúde. A metodologia usada no estudo faz uso de princípios da Lingüística de Corpus, Lingüística Computacional e Estatística. A comparação de corpus de estudo com o corpus de referência depende da identificação de diferenças estatisticamente significativas na freqüência relativa dos itens lexicais, determinando, assim, quais itens são palavras-chave dentro das bulas de medicamentos brasileiras. Apesar de ter considerado que nos textos das bulas de medicamentos haveria, apenas, casos de modalidade deôntica, os resultados demonstraram que há ocorrência também da modalidade epistêmica. Outro ponto que pode ser evidenciado após a análise é que a legislação brasileira influencia na elaboração deste tipo de texto e, conseqüentemente, no tipo de modalidade ali existente, seja ela deôntica ou epistêmica. As normas impostas por esta legislação permitem que as bulas sejam caracterizadas pela presença de grandes grupos de palavras adjacentes
