Contribution of cross-cultural studies to understanding wine appreciation : a review
No full textPeople from different cultures or geographical regions vary significantly in terms of their food and beverage consumption patterns, preferences, and purchase choices. Recent decades have seen cross-cultural research in food science flourish with research programmes in fields as diverse as perception science, conceptual behaviour, health sciences, and marketing. In this review, we describe cross-cultural research that has contributed to our understanding of wine appreciation. We begin by providing a brief historical perspective, and then outline the types of studies and methodologies employed in cross-cultural wine sensory research. We then review systematically cross-cultural studies concerning intrinsic wine factors, extrinsic wine factors, cerebral representation studies and those investigating attitudes and opinions about wine, and cross-cultural research addressing emotional response to wine. Finally, we bring together the major results reported from the varying methodologies to discuss how a cross-cultural approach can help advance our understanding of wine appreciation. We also raise contemporary issues relevant to traditional ways of defining and investigating culture in light of increasing globalisation. This review is relevant for wine industry marketing strategists as well as for those interested in the science of wine tasting115251258COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESnão temWe acknowledge the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), Brazil, for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship awarded to Heber Rodrigues.

Cenas do campo: a educação infantil no assentamento de Vila Nova- Santa Rosa do Sul-SC.
No full textTrabalho de Conclusão do Curso de Especialização em Educação Infantil - Segunda Edição – Polo Araranguá - SC, para a obtenção do Grau de Especialista em Educação Infantil.Este trabalho tem como tema central a Educação Infantil do Campo e apresenta uma pesquisa realizada no assentamento de Vila Nova, no município catarinense de Santa Rosa do Sul, mais especificamente sobre a Educação Infantil nesta localidade . Tendo como problema de pesquisa investigar como se apresenta a oferta e a demanda desta etapa da educação na região do assentamento rural de Vila Nova, objetivou-se compreender o contexto histórico em que estão inseridas as crianças desta comunidade rural; descrever a oferta da Educação Infantil na comunidade de Vila Nova; compreender a relação escola/comunidade no que se refere ao atendimento escolar de crianças de 0 a 6 anos. Com base em um referencial teórico que abordou o contexto rural brasileiro e o enfrentamento histórico das questões relativas à Educação; o surgimento da Educação do Campo; a criança campesina como sujeito de direitos; os documentos legais que têm amparado atualmente a Educação do Campo no Brasil, em especial a Educação Infantil, realizou-se uma pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso, tendo por objeto de estudo a Educação Infantil em Vila Nova. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário dirigido às famílias, entrevistas com trabalhadores da educação e observações in loco, com registros de imagens e cenas do ambiente escolar. Os resultados indicam elementos atuais que também caracterizaram a educação no passado de Vila Nova, quando iniciou o funcionamento da única escola da comunidade, especialmente no que diz respeito ao envolvimento das famílias e ao papel social da escola na localidade. A inexistência da oferta do atendimento na creche faz com que a Educação Infantil se traduza apenas pela oferta de uma classe de Pré-Escola, que funciona em uma escola com infraestrutura limitada e distante dos parâmetros de qualidade aconselhados pelo MEC, mas com um trabalho docente que se harmoniza com a cultura local e com o cotidiano das famílias. Fazendo frente à ausência de atendimento de creche, Vila Nova possui, atualmente, 14 crianças que nunca frequentaram a escola, todas elas na faixa etária de 0 a 3 anos e 11 meses, o que significa demanda para, pelo menos, 01 turma de creche
Hunting journal
No full textThis diary of an excursion by a British hunting party to the Canadian and American West in the summer of 1877 is attributed to Algernon Heber Percy and his wife. The work is illustrated with original watercolor drawings, and provides detailed and humorous narration of the progress of the expedition, persons met along the way, game pursued, and the doings of the party. The party arrived at Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) by steamer up the Red River on July 29, 1877. Of particular interest are the frequent encounters with Indians, mainly Sioux, who had escaped north of the border to avoid the putative expeditions of the U.S. Army in wake of the Custer Massacre. The narrative is illustrated with 13 drawings, presumably by the author or a member of the party. The entire journey took over two months, with the party returning to Fort Garry on October 8, 1877
ADMINISTRAÇÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA: EM BUSCA DE UMA EPISTEMOLOGIA
No full textO presente trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma análise epistemológica de alguns trabalhos relacionados à Administração Universitária. Para tanto, foram selecionados textos referentes às últimas cinco décadas, os quais foram analisados em ordem cronológica. Estes textos foram escolhidos de forma intencional, levando-se em consideração principalmente a abrangência e a importância nacional e internacional (fazer parte de um evento internacional ligado a um organismo internacional, por exemplo). A partir da leitura destes fez-se a análise, partindo-se do pressuposto que a epistemologia da Administração Universitária converge com a epistemologia da Administração, podendo ser considerada inclusive um sub-campo desta. Conclui-se que se faz necessário um repensar crítico das teorias administrativas que dê conta de toda complexidade inerente a todas as organizações, incluindo aí as universidades

Diario, pour piano seul, de Heber Schuenemann : du déchiffrage de l'oeuvre à son interprétation : démarche et réflexions d'une pianiste
No full textCette thèse porte sur la recherche-création ayant menée à l’apprentissage et l’exécution publique de Diário, œuvre pour piano du compositeur brésilien Heber Schuenemann (né en 1971). Dans ce cycle, qui comprend 23 courtes pièces, le compositeur explore la notion de « hasard », propre à la musique aléatoire. Il utilise également des techniques de composition s’apparentant au sérialisme et au minimalisme. Après avoir présenté les principales caractéristiques des courants musicaux propres à l’œuvre, la chercheuse-pianiste procède à une analyse de l’œuvre, décrivant la structure et les techniques de composition de chaque pièce. Par la suite, elle décrit sa propre démarche d’interprète – du déchiffrage de l’œuvre à sa prestation publique et à son enregistrement en studio – et elle commente son expérience à la lumière de la littérature pertinente. Sont abordées, notamment, les difficultés inhérentes au déchiffrage d’une œuvre atonale et les diverses étapes menant à l’identification de ses éléments structuraux; les difficultés relatives à la technique pianistique; l’importance du regroupement d’unités et de l’acquisition d’automatismes corporels; la définition de l’image artistique. Des pistes pédagogiques favorisant l’enseignement et l’apprentissage de l’œuvre sont également présentées.This thesis reports on a research-creation focused on learning and public performance of the cycle Diário, a piano work by Brazilian composer Heber Schuenemann (born in 1971). In this cycle, which includes 23 pieces, the composer explores the notion of chance, specific to the indeterminate (aleatory) music, and uses the compositional techniques comparable to the serialism and the minimalism. After presenting main features of musical styles of the cycle, the researcher-pianist proceeds to the analysis of the cycle, describing the structure and the technique of composition of each piece. Thereafter, the author describes her own approach of an interpreter, from the deciphering the work to its public performance and studio recording, commenting on her experience in the light of the relevant literature. In particular, the author examines the difficulties in deciphering an atonal work and various steps leading to the identification of its structural elements. In addition, the author focuses on the definition of the artistic image, the difficulties related to the piano technique, the combination of units, and the acquisition of automatisms. Educational means promoting the teaching and learning of the work are also presented
Heber Doust Curtis And The Island Universe Theory
No full textThe beginning of the twentieth century was a time a great change and development within American astronomy. The period is rife with astronomers, both men and women, who advanced the discipline. However, few historians have looked at the lives of these astronomers. When an astronomer is chosen for closer study, they tend to be one who contributed to the astronomical discipline with a significant discovery. Unfortunately, those astronomers whose careers did not climax with discovery have a tendency to be forgotten by historians, even though their lives and research have affected our modern understanding. This thesis looks at one such astronomer named Heber Doust Curtis. Curtis did not make a grand discovery in the cosmos, but he combined his research with the research and observations of other astronomers to fundamentally change our understanding of the scale of the universe. To understand Curtis’ significance, the author looked at his published scientific papers and the papers of other astronomers from the era. This was done to see how Curtis’ research fit into other research being done at the beginning of the twentieth century. Also important in this study was the writing of contemporary authors who looked back on this period as a time of discovery, especially in shaping our understanding of the shape and extent of the cosmos. These elements combined show a rounded perspective of Curtis, during an epoch of great and significant astronomical discovery. These sources show Curtis’ importance as one of the main driving forces behind a modern return to the Island Universe theory, the belief that the Milky Way was not the only galaxy but one of many within the universe. Curtis’ tenacious support of this idea would fundamentally change our understanding of the shape and scale of the universe. For this reason, he is one of the most important American astronomers of the early twentieth century
Synthesis of polyparaphenylene (PPP): comparative study and characterization
No full textForam realizados estudos comparativos de poli-(para-fenileno) (PPP) obtido pelos métodos de KOVACIC e KAERIYAMA. O PPP foi obtido usando o método de KOVACIC (oxidação do benzeno na presença de CuCl2 usando AlCl3 como catalisador) e pelo método de KAERIYAMA por meio da polimerização do metil-2,5-dicloro benzoato (1) em uma reação que utiliza Ni0 obtido a partir da redução do NiBr2 com trifenilfosfina e zinco em pó. O poli[2-(metoxicarboxi)fenileno-1,4-diyl] (2) foi obtido e submetido à hidrólise em NaOH alcóolico, gerando o poli-(2-carboxifenileno-1,4-diyl) (3) e, finalmente, por descarboxilação com CuO, produziu o poli-(para-fenileno). O material obtido em ambos os métodos foi dopado com cloreto férrico FeCl3 na razão de concentrações molares 1:0,50; 1:1,0 e 1:2,0. A caracterização das amostras obtidas foi feita por infravermelho, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), difração de raios X (DRX), análise elementar, análise térmica, ressonância paramagnética de elétrons (RPE) e medidas elétricas de impedância. Os resultados dos espectros no infravermelho exibem as bandas características dos polifenilenos substituídos na posição para, próprias do PPP; a microscopia eletrônica e análise elementar mostram que o método de KOVACIC apresenta um grau de polimerização maior do que o obtido pelo método de KAERIYAMA. A termogravimetria do PPP em N2 obtido via método de KOVACIC exibe perda de massa em uma temperatura maior do que aquele obtido via método de KAERIYAMA. Os difratogramas de raios X do PPP obtido em ambos os métodos indicam estruturas semi-cristalinas. A fase amorfa aumentou com o aumento da concentração do dopante. Os espectros de RPE das amostras de PPP puro mostram uma linha intensa correspondendo a um radical livre com um g = 2,002, enquanto nas amostras dopadas observa-se a sobreposição da linha estreita do radical livre com uma linha muito larga que se altera com o aumento da concentração do dopante. As medidas de condutividade do PPP foram realizadas em pastilhas cilíndricas com eletrodos de alumínio. O PPP obtido pelo método de KOVACIC apresentou condutividade maior do que aquele obtido pelo método de KAERIYAMA para todas as concentrações de Fe utilizadas na dopagem.Comparative studies of poly-(para-phenylene) (PPP) obtained by the KOVACIC and KAERIYAMA methods were undertaken. PPP was obtained using the KOVACIC method (oxidation of benzene in the presence of CuCl2 using AlCl3 as catalyst) and by the KAERIYAMA method through the polymerization of methyl 2,5-dichlorobenzoate (1) in a reaction that uses Ni0 obtained from the reduction of NiBr2 with triphenylphosphine and powdered zinc. Poly[2-(methoxycarbonyl)-phenylene-1,4-diyl] (2) was obtained and submitted to hydrolysis in alcoholic NaOH, generating poly-(2-carboxyphenylene-1,4-diyl) (3) and, finally, by decarboxylation with CuO, producing poly-(para-phenylene). The material obtained by both methods was doped with ferric chloride (FeCl3) in molar ratios of 0.5:1, 1:1, and 2:1. The characterization of the samples was performed by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis, thermal analysis, electron spin resonance (ESR), and electrical impedance measurements. The infrared spectra show the bands of substituted polyphenylene in the para position characteristic of PPP. SEM and elemental analysis indicate that the PPP obtained via the KOVACIC method has a higher degree of polymerization than that obtained via the KAERIYAMA method. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of PPP in N2 obtained via the KOVACIC route shows weight loss at a higher temperature than that obtained via the KAERIYAMA route. The XRD diffractograms of PPP from both methods indicate semi-crystalline structures. The amorphous phase increases with increasing dopant concentration. ESR spectra of pure PPP samples show a strong line corresponding to a free radical with g = 2.002, whereas doped samples exhibit a superposition of the narrow free radical line with a very broad line that changes with increasing dopant concentration. Conductivity measurements of PPP were performed using cylindrical pellets with aluminum electrodes. The PPP obtained by the KOVACIC method showed higher conductivity than that obtained by the KAERIYAMA method for all Fe doping concentrations
Otimização do processo de organofilização de bentonitas visando seu uso em fluidos de perfuração não aquosos.
No full textOs fluidos base água são amplamente utilizados em operações de
perfuração de poços, entretanto, em perfurações sensíveis ao contato com a
água, (folhelhos arenosos), e ultra profundas podem-se utilizar fluidos de
perfuração base óleo. Nestes casos, a argila bentonítica, usada como agente
viscosificante, não pode ser usada sem um prévio tratamento orgânico para
que suas superfícies se tornem hidrofóbicas e possam ser dispersas em meios
orgânicos. Estas argilas depois de tratadas são chamadas de argilas
organofílicas, e são geralmente obtidas através da adição, em meio aquoso, de
um sal quaternário de amônio cujo cátion substitui na estrutura do
argilomineral, o cátion presente disponível que geralmente é o sódio. O
processo de organofilização, composto de várias etapas, nem sempre garante
a obtenção de argilas organofílicas de boa qualidade, sendo importante
destacar as variáveis de processo bem como a escolha das matérias-primas a
serem utilizadas. Propõe-se então, neste trabalho, um estudo detalhado das
variáveis envolvidas no processo de dispersão das argilas bentoníiticas
(velocidade de agitação, tempo e temperatura de cura), e também no processo
de organofilização (tempo e temperatura de cura) procurando relacionar as
viscosidades aparente e plástica das dispersões argilosas com a eficiência do
processo de organofilização, bem como, observar a influência de outras
variáveis envolvidas diretamente no processo de organofilização (tipo de argila,
tipo de tensoativo e presença de defloculante sódico). O processo de
organofilização será otimizado observando-se resultados de difração de raios
X, termogravimetria, inchamento de Foster e viscosidade aparente dos fluidos.
Observou-se através deste trabalho que as variáveis de processo tanto
envolvidas na dispersão das argilas quanto na organofilização, do ponto de
vista da caracterização, não têm grande influência na intensidade e nem na
posição dos deslocamentos dos picos referentes à distância interplanar basal
provocados pela incorporação do tensoativo às argilas bentoníticas sendo
influentes o tipo de argila e tensoativo e a presença de sódio como agente
defloculante, e que tem influência nas propriedades reológicas sendo influentes
também o tipo de argila e tensoativo.The water base fluids are widely used in the drilling of wells, however, some
drilling operations are sensitive to contact of water like shales and ultra deep
and no aqueous fluids are used for drilling. In these cases, the bentonite clay,
used as a viscosifier agent can not be used without treatment for their organic
surfaces become hydrophobic and it can be dispersed in organic ways. These
clays after treatment are called organophilic clays, and are usually obtained by
adding, in water, a quaternary ammonium salt where its cation replaces on the
clay mineral structure the present cation that is generally sodium. The process
of organofilization, composed of several steps, do not produce organophilic clay
of high quality, and highlight the importance of process variables and the choice
of raw materials to be used. This work propose, a detailed study of the variables
involved in the process of dispersion of bentonite clay (speed of agitation, time
and temperature of curing), and also in the process of organofilization (time and
temperature of curing) trying correlate apparent and plastic viscosities of
dispersions clay with the efficiency of the organofilization, and observe the
influence of other variables involved directly in the organofilization (type of clay,
type of surfactant and the presence of sodium deflocculant). The process of
organofilization will be optimized observing the results of X-ray diffraction,
thermogravimetry, Foster swelling and apparent viscosity of fluids. This work
shows that the variables involved in the process of dispersion of clay and in
organofilization, by characterization, have no influence on intensity and in the
position of displacement of the peaks of basal interplanar distance caused by
addition of surfactant to bentonite clay been influent the type of clay and
surfactant and the presence of sodium as a deflocculant, and have influence in
rheological properties been influent too the type of clay and surfactant.Cape
