Hipertrigliceridemia en diabetes mellitus tipo 2: ¿cómo y cuándo tratamos?
Authors: Fretes Osvaldo
Published: October 2023

Numerosos estudios epidemiológicos han puesto en evidencia la condición de alto riesgo cardiovascular de los pacientes con diabetes mellitus (DM), equiparable a las personas sin DM que han tenido un evento cardiovascular mayor previamente1.

De los factores inherentes a la DM que puede explicar este fenómeno, uno de los más relevantes es la llamada “dislipidemia aterogénica”, caracterizada por hipertrigliceridemia, HDL-c bajo y otros cambios lipoproteicos cualitativos actualmente bien caracterizados, que forman parte de los criterios del síndrome metabólico.
6) Dieta mediterránea: ¿benéfica realmente o expresión de deseo?
Authors: Schraier Silvio
Published: October 2023

En la década de 1960 Ancel Keys describió los índices bajos de enfermedad coronaria en los países bañados por el Mar Mediterráneo a partir del Estudio de los Siete Países, a pesar que se ingería una cantidad de grasas elevada, aunque a diferencia de la alimentación occidental, está conformada por grasas provenientes del aceite de oliva, de carne de cerdo y pescado y frutas secas. La ingesta de carbohidratos es menor, y es así que tanto con los ácidos grasos monoinsaturados como los poliinsaturados hay reducción del LDL y de los triglicéridos, y aumento del HDL. Estos efectos metabólicos beneficiosos son mayores en presencia de insulinorresistencia.
IECA y ARA II en mujeres fértiles
Authors: Forte Ezequiel
Published: October 2023

La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial (HTA) en las mujeres jóvenes en la Argentina se ubica entre el 6,9% en menores de 35 años y 18,5% en las de 35-45 años1. Asimismo, las personas con diabetes mellitus (DM) presentan de 1-5 a 3 veces más posibilidades de sufrir HTA2. Los inhibidores del sistema renina-angiotensina (iECA) y los bloqueadores del receptor de angiotensina II (ARAII) se encuentran entre los fármacos más prescritos para pacientes con HTA. Existen diferencias fisiopatológicas, farmacocinéticas y de biodisponibilidad sexo-específicas que indican que las mujeres con HTA requieren un tratamiento individualizado.
Simposio 13: Prediabetes y cerebro
Authors: Díaz Gustavo
Published: October 2023

La prediabetes es un problema grave, pero reversible, caracterizado por hiperglucemia e insulinorresistencia1. En esta enfermedad se observó un declive de la función de las células β debido a cambios metabólicos, epigenéticos y alteraciones a nivel de su biología celular (incluyendo transdiferenciación, estrés del retículo endoplásmico, autofagia y apoptosis), lo que conduce a una menor disponibilidad de la insulina y factores de crecimiento insulinosímiles en el sistema nervioso central, los cuales regulan la neuroplasticidad y la neurogénesis cerebral2. Pacientes con prediabetes mostraron menor rendimiento en algunos test neurocognitivos y esto se asoció con el inicio del deterioro cognitivo1.

El deterioro cognitivo comienza con disminuciones cognitivas sutiles, lentas y progresivas, más graves en adultos mayores (≥65 años). Este estado de declive y pérdida de las funciones mentales superiores no es una consecuencia inevitable de envejecer; muchos nonagenarios y centenarios poseen sus funciones cognitivas conservadas. En un estudio de autopsias de personas mayores de 90 años basado en la población de EE. UU., casi la mitad de las personas con demencia no tenía suficiente evidencia neuropatológica para explicar sus síntomas cognitivos3.

Az időskorúakkal foglalkozó szervezeteknek nemcsak a megfogalmazott igények szerint, hanem a rendelkezésükre álló erőforrásaik tükrében is dönteniük kell arról, hogy milyen tevékenységek, foglalkozások megvalósítására nyílik leginkább lehetőségük. Mindazonáltal fontolgatniuk kell azt is, hogy mi az, ami igazán hatékony. A bemutatásra kerülő kutatásba olyan nagyváradi, idősekkel foglalkozó szervezeteket válogattunk be, amelyek különös hangsúlyt fektetnek arra, hogy az általuk ellátott időskorúak minél többet lehessenek kirándulóhelyeken, erdőkben, természeti környezetben. A vizsgálat célja az ilyen típusú programok hatásának feltárása.

A magány enyhítésének egyik lehetséges és komplex útjának felvázolása a célunk. Felhívni a figyelmet a „Vissza a természetbe!” jelszó idősek számára releváns aspektusaira. A védett, az idősek szükségleteihez alkalmazkodó és személyre szabott mezőgazdasági részmunkák alkalmankénti beillesztése a segítő folyamatokba, a Magyarországon kevéssé ismert szociális farmgazdaság gondolatvilágához kapcsolódik. A bentlakásos idősek otthonában élőkkel készített kutatás azt a célt tűzte ki, hogy felmérje a megkérdezettek igényeit, véleményét, viszonyulását a természeti környezetben megvalósuló speciális foglalkoztatás vonatkozásában, amit egy újszerű szolgáltatásformának is tekinthetünk.
Demenciával élők gondozó hozzátartozóinak támogatása online Alzheimer Cafén keresztül
Authors: Kocsis Judit Ilona
Published: October 2023

Idősödő társadalomban élünk, ahol két folyamat zajlik párhuzamosan: egyrészt öregszik a korfa, vagyis kevesebb gyermek születik, másrészt a javuló egészségügynek köszönhetően emelkedik a várható élettartam, tehát a lakosságon belül a nagyon idősek aránya is növekszik. Ez örömteli folyamat, azonban például a demencia tünetegyüttesének kialakulása éppen a kor előrehaladtával fordul elő gyakrabban – vagyis maga az életkor az egyik legnagyobb rizikótényező. Általánosságban elmondható, hogy a családokban felbukkanó demencia készületlenül éri a hozzátartozókat, jelentős információhiánnyal küzdenek és nem tudják, kihez fordulhatnak segítségért. Az érintetteket nagyrészt otthonukban gondozzák, általában gondozói ismeretek nélkül. Számukra jelentős segítséget nyújt az Alzheimer Café, mely egy olyan alacsony küszöbű civil kezdeményezés, ami bárki számára nyitva áll. Egyik legfontosabb feladata az információnyújtás demenciával kapcsolatban, valamint a támogató közeg megléte, ahol a résztvevők egymást segíthetik és szakszerű tanácsokat kaphatnak. A 2020. márciusában kihirdetett veszélyhelyzet és a korlátozó intézkedések bevezetése azonban ellehetetlenítette az Alzheimer Cafék működését, mivel személyes találkozóra nem volt lehetőség.

Ismert jelenség, hogy a világ számos országának elöregedő társadalomszerkezete van, köztük Magyarország is ilyen jellemzővel rendelkezik. Ez a társadalmi jelenség mind az egészségügy, mind a szociális szféra területén nagy kihívás elé állítja a szakembereket és jelentős terhet ró az intézmények működésére, valamint a szereplők feladatainak teljeskörű ellátására. Magyarország lakosságának korösszetételét figyelembe véve elmondható, hogy az 1990. évi népszámlálás adatai szerint 65 év és a feletti életkorral rendelkező korcsoport létszámadata 13%-át tette ki a magyar lakosságnak, majd a 2001. év adatai szerint elérte a 15%-ot. Ez 2011-re már 17%-ra növekedett, 2021-ben pedig a létszámarány elérte a 20 %-ot. Az Eurostat előrejelzése szerint a népesedési folyamatok jelenleg aktuális változása mellett, ez a részarány 2070-re akár a 29%-ot is elérheti hazánkban.
Ethos, memoria y los símbolos nacionales brasileños en el discurso de la oposición unida en 2022
Authors: Dresch Márcia
Published: October 2023

Este artículo pretende analizar el movimiento de incorporación de símbolos patrios en el discurso de la candidatura Lula-Alckmin a la presidencia de Brasil. Desde las manifestaciones pro-impeachment (2015), la Bandera, el Himno y los colores nacionales fueron apropiados por la derecha y comenzaron a identificar a los simpatizantes de Jair Bolsonaro, principalmente después de 2018, cuando Bolsonaro fue elegido presidente de la nación. La refutación del discurso bolsonarista impuso al Partido de los Trabajadores y a la coalición de partidos, construida para las elecciones de 2022, la afirmación del ethos de brasilidad, que se observó en este estudio. El corpus se constituyó de la grabación del evento del lanzamiento de la candidatura Lula-Alckmin, del que se seleccionaron tres momentos: la interpretación del Himno Nacional, la entrada de la Bandera Nacional y el discurso de Lula. El artículo toma como referencia teórica los trabajos sobre el ethos de Dominique Maingueneau.

ÇANAKKALE SAVAŞLARINDA COĞRAFYANIN ETKİSİ
Authors: ILGAR Rüştü
Published: October 2023

Coğrafya ile savaşlar arasında çok sıkı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Tarihi süreçte coğrafim yapı sıklıkla savaşların güçlük derecesi ve fetihlerle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Savaşlar sırasında coğrafi faktörler kimi zaman taraflara engelleyici olurken, kimi zaman da kolaylaştırıcı birer etken olmuştur. Coğrafi mekânın sahip olduğu özellikler yani “jeopolitik unsurlar” yeryüzünde savaşların dağılışında önemli etkilere sahip olmuştur. Coğrafi faktörlerin önemini bilmek, savaş yerinin coğrafyasına uygun taktikler uygulamak her zaman bir avantaj olmuştur.

Çanakkale Savaş alanlarının coğrafyası yani yeryüzü şekilleri, iklimi, bitki örtüsü, eğimi, akarsu ağı şebekesi, toprak yapısı, deniz akıntıları vb. savaşın oluşum ve gelişiminde çok etkili olmuştur. Çanakkale Savaşları’nda dünyanın en büyük askeri birlikteliklerine güçlükler oluşturmuş, Türk'lerinse coğrafyayı iyi bilmeleri ve hâkim olması, genellikle coğrafi faktörlerden yararlanarak başarılı stratejiler geliştirmelerine ve savaşın gidişatını değiştirmelerine kolaylık sağlamıştır. Coğrafya bilgi desteği ile uygulanan stratejiler, Türk azmi ve kararlılığı ile birleşince savaşın gidişatını değişmiştir. Sonuç olarak İtilaf Devletleri her anlamda daha üstün olduğu bu savaşı jeostratejik acizlik ve coğrafyayı yeterince bilmediklerinden dolayı kaybetmek zorunda kalmışlardır.
The Israel-Palestine Imbroglio- an Asian Minority Ethnic Perspective of the Formative Civilizational and Universally Instructive Humanitarian Lessons.
Authors: Naidu Dr. Suranthiran Naidu M. N.
Published: October 2023

It is widely acknowledged that colonialism in many of the nations that are free today is solely responsible for the borders drawn arbitrarily creating a stark separation of the ethnic and sub-ethnic populations of societies with their primal co existential group separations. The Israel-Palestine region in the Middle East which was under the British sphere of influence before the end of World War Two, is one such case. It is a tragic one as large numbers of Palestinians especially, and Israelis have become victims of the imbroglio that had risen. There has been no lack of effort by the contending nations, the United Nations, the United States, the Palestine Liberation Organisation, a few Arab states and others, to end armed conflict and broker peace. The situation in the region remains tense. Israel has continued to build settlements in formerly Palestine land. The question of Israeli apartheidism and accusations of subtle attempts at ‘Judaising’ (conversion to Judaism faith) the Palestinian people have been voiced. Opposition and armed retaliation from Palestinian armed groups against Israel, and that of the state of Israel on the Palestinians have mounted. A perspective from that of the Asian marginalised, minority groups relating to the context of the Palestinians with the powerful Israeli state, can well be, that democratic PRINCIPLES and undertakings for equitable governance for all citizens constitute the constructive pathway for peace, stability and prosperity for one and all. Documented sources, researched theses and articles, and media reports on the conflict are the primary sources of data for this study. The conclusions that were derived were that the principle of full equality for the two contending communities is in question and that it needs to be upheld. Dialogue, allowing for the evolving of the spirit of co-existence, enabling secure futures towards ensuring legacies centred on humanitarianism for future generations, and for Israel and Palestine returning to the spiritual teachings of their respective faiths- to honour human life, can be the decisive factors for peace and stability in the above region.
Investigating the Applicability of Maslow’s Theory of Hierarchy of Needs on Selected Filipino Teachers
Authors: Fabella Dr. Frederick Edward T.
Published: October 2023

This research attempted to confirm the applicability of the Theory on Hierarchy of Needs by Abraham Maslow on thirty (30) Filipino teachers who volunteered to be the respondents of the study. The Maslow and the Motivation Hierarchy: Measuring Satisfaction of the Needs, a 72-item, 5-point Likert scale questionnaire that measures the five dimensions of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, namely Physiological needs satisfaction, Safety needs satisfaction, Love needs satisfaction, Esteem needs satisfaction and Self-actualization needs satisfaction was administered on the respondents. Based on the findings, the respondents’ physiological needs are somewhat satisfied, their safety needs are somewhat satisfied, their love needs are completely satisfied and their esteem needs are completely satisfied. In addition, the respondents somewhat agree that their self-actualization needs are satisfied. The married respondents have significantly higher physiological needs satisfaction. When the respondents’ levels of needs satisfaction are ranked, love needs rank first followed by esteem needs, then by safety, next is physiological and last is self-actualization. Comparing the needs satisfaction of the respondents, significant differences were found between physiological and love needs satisfaction wherein love has a higher mean, physiological and esteem needs satisfaction in which esteem has a higher mean, safety and love needs satisfaction wherein love has a higher mean, safety and esteem needs satisfaction in which esteem has a higher mean, love and self-actualization needs satisfaction wherein in love has a higher mean and esteem and self-actualization needs satisfaction in which esteem has a higher mean. Based on the foregoing, it would appear that Maslow’s proposition that the five dimensions of needs satisfaction decrease according the sequence of his theory’s hierarchy, is not the case for the respondents of the study. Furthermore, significant positive relationships were established between all possible pair-combinations of the respondents’ five dimensions of needs satisfaction. This implies that all these dimensions significantly influence each other in a positive direction.

Non-Financial Capital Value Creation: Assessing Japan's Path to an ESG-Friendly Economy through the Yanagi Model
Authors: Rahman Asheer , Varghese Varsha
Published: October 2023

This paper explores the possibility of Japan adopting the Non-Financial Capital and Equity Spread Synchronization Model, also known as the Yanagi Model, to build an ESG-friendly economy. The Yanagi Model focuses on incorporating non-financial elements, such as environmental, social, and governance factors, into companies' traditional financial performance measures. By doing so, the model aims to enhance firms' long-term sustainability and value creation. The paper assesses the potential benefits and challenges of implementing the Yanagi Model in the Japanese context through a review of relevant literature and case studies. The literature suggests that integrating ESG factors can lead to improved financial performance, reduced risk, and increased reputation for companies. However, there are also concerns about the lack of standardization and transparency in ESG data, as well as the potential for greenwashing or superficial adoption of ESG practices. Despite these challenges, the paper argues that the Yanagi Model could serve as a viable path for Japan to build an ESG-friendly economy, given the country’s recent push for sustainability and the growing demand for socially responsible investments. The paper suggests several recommendations for improving the model, such as increasing transparency and standardization in ESG data, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and promoting a culture of long-term value creation. Overall, the paper concludes that while there are challenges to adopting the Yanagi Model, its potential benefits for building a sustainable and ESG-friendly economy in Japan make it a worthwhile pursuit.

Published: October 2023

Batik is a cultural heritage that must be preserved because of its selling value and tourist attraction. The characteristics and attractiveness of Batik can be seen in its motifs and color combinations. Batik coloring commonly uses synthetic dyes since it is considered more practical and economical with satisfactory quality. However, synthetic dyes containing heavy metals can harm the health of craftsmen and the surrounding community, especially if the coloring waste is not disposed of according to standardized WWTP (IPAL). It is often found in small and medium-scale batik home industries. Community service is given through counseling methods, health checks related to heavy metals, making Meniran leaf tea as an antioxidant, and using simple biofilters for small-scale industries. The results of the pretest to posttest showed an increase in community knowledge, and the results of the partner satisfaction questionnaire showed partner satisfaction.

"Мақалада тау жыныстарының шығу тегіне, олардың түрлеріне анықтамалар беріліп отыр. Жердің үстіңгі қабатындағы тас қабықты құраған тау жыныстары алғашқыда балқыған тұтқыр заттан қатайып пайда болған. Демек, ол тау жыныстарын құраған минералдар мен кристалдар да алғашқыда сол балқыған заттан пайда болған. Яғни, олар магмалық, метаморфтық, шөгінді жыныстар деп аталатын маңызды түрлерге жіктеледі және де тау кен жыныстарының негізгі физикалық қасиеттері мен құрылымы, құрамы туралы келтірілген. Тау кен жыныстары механикасында: кеуектілік, тығыздық, беріктік мен жыныстардың бұзылуы, деформациясы, серпімділік және акустикалық қасиеттері маңызды болғандықтан олар жайлы сипатталды. Тау кен жыныстарының осындай қасиеттері мен құрылымын зерттеу олардың физикалық және техникалық сипаттамаларын болжауға мүмкіндік береді. Және тау-кен жыныстарының қасиеттерін заманауи технологияларды пайдаланып есепті шығарудың жеңіл тәсілі ретінде «MathCad бағдарламасы» пайдаланылды. Заманауи технологияны пайдалана отырып тау-кен жыныстарының серпімділік қасиеттеріне анықтау үшін Mathcad бағдарламасы көмегімен есептеулер жүргізілді. Қолданып отырған Mathcad бағдарламасы сандық көрсеткіштерді компьютер арқылы шығару жолдарын көрсетеді және де нәтижесінде қума толқынның (Юнг модулінің) көрсеткіші шығарылды. Кілтті сөздер: механика, тау жыныстары, акустика, деформация, Mathcad бағдарламасы. "

Published: October 2023

"Работы по поиску твердотельных лазерно-активных сред на красителях, имеющих характеристики, сравнимые с их жидкими аналогами, актуальны до сих пор. Одновременно с развитием твердотельных лазерных систем с лазерно-активными элементами в виде полимерных блоков, ведутся интенсивные работы по созданию органических тонкопленочных лазеров. В настоящее время требуются новые эффективные источники когерентного излучения, способные излучать одновременно несколько длин волн и не требующих экстремально высоких интенсивностей излучения. Они могут быть востребованы в таких областях, как сенсорика, спектроскопия одиночных молекул, эксперименты в области квантовой оптики, оптогенетике, биомедицине. Для успешной реализации эффективно излучающих тонкопленочных структур требуется обеспечить их хорошие волноводные свойства, предпочтительно используя относительно дешевые материалы и технологии создания таких лазерных структур. В работе изложены принципы создания фотовозбуждаемых тонкопленочных органических волноводных лазеров. Созданы образцы лазеров на основе активного планарного волновода с лазерно-активной средой, состоящей из полиметилакрилата, допированного различными органическими красителями: пиррометен-567, Нильский красный, пиррометен-597, Хромен3. Изучены их генерационные характеристики. Показана возможность реализации органического волноводного лазера с возбуждением от одного источника накачки, генерирующего несколько длин волн одновременно. Ключевые слова: лазер на красителе, планарный волновод, люминесценция, генерация, полиметилметакрилат."

Integrated Management of Early Blight of Tomato Caused By Alternaria Solani
Authors: Patil M G , Bhalerao P B , Ambadkar C V
Published: October 2023

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a prominent Solanaceae vegetable and fruit crop. Due to the attack of numerous diseases produced by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, tomato production in India is low when compared to other developed countries. The fungus Alternaria solani causes early blight at all phases of plant development and produces disease leaf blight, stem rot, fruit lesions and cause severe damage across the country. The use of anintegrated approachagainst A. solanii is the best method for managing this disease. The integrated disease management in pot culture demonstrated that the pots treated with Seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum @ 10gm /kg + Propiconazole 25% EC (1.5/l of water) + Neem leaf extract @ 20% had the lowest disease incidence (11.77%). In contrast, the highest disease incidence was recorded in a pot sprayed alone with 20% Neem leaf extract at 20 ml/l of water (20.94%), followed by poultry manure @ 25 gm / pot (22.39%). The use of an integrated approach against A. solani is the best method for managing thisdisease.
A Study on Impact of Cancellation of Maintenance of Aged Parents in Tamil Nadu
Authors: Sujitha. J  , Mr. A. Sivanandam
Published: October 2023

In India, there are some circumstances under which maintenance payments for elderly parents may be cancelled. An important piece of law that deals with the maintenance and welfare of old parents in India is the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. It does not, however, detail any explicit measures for maintenance cancellation. According to the Act, adult children or relatives are required by law to support ageing parents or other senior individuals who are unable to care for themselves. The support Tribunals set up at the district level allow parents or senior persons to request support from their children or relatives. The maintenance support could, however, be cancelled or stopped under some circumstances. The main objective of the study is To know the impacts of cancellation of maintenance of old aged parents. The research method pursued here is empirical research. A total of 210 samples were collected, all of which were collected by practical sampling methods. Elderly parents may experience significant financial stress as a result of the discontinuation of maintenance. Their fundamental requirements, such as shelter, healthcare, and living expenses, could be difficult to meet. Relationships between elderly parents and their adult children or relatives may be strained if maintenance is terminated. It might cause mental distress, difficult communication, and a breakdown in family dynamics. In Tamil Nadu, the termination of maintenance can have serious negative impacts on the health of elderly parents. Financial hardship, restricted access to healthcare, increased stress, and possibly social isolation are all possible outcomes. These elements may have a detrimental effect on their general quality of life
Max Weber, o mendicante e o político na Índia: ou quando o não-puritano gera a não-violência
Authors: Oliveira Arilson Silva de
Published: October 2023

Sob o olhar de Max Weber e na esteira de sua teoria com Louis Dumont, analisamos como o contexto e o imaginário indiano antigo nos apresentam possibilidades de coexistência entre a violência e a “não-violência”, entre a irracionalidade do mundo e o desdém para com a ética de fraternidade e o afã pela riqueza, sem colocar em “perigo” a “salvação” ou a libertação da alma. Sumariamente, caracterizam-se a ação violenta e a não-violência em um mesmo patamar: vocacionais, dependendo do contexto e dos agentes sociais envolvidos. Neste caso, há dois agentes específicos: o mendicante intelectual br?hma?a e o político violento; este último, direcionado pelo primeiro a coexistir com ideias e ações da não-violência. Demostramos, assim, como a força da hierarquia estabelecida na sociedade de casta, junto aos imaginários que a envolvem, foram capazes de sacralizar ações aparentemente contraditórias.
O livro didático de português no Discurso e na História: as fichas de edição de O nosso idioma (1936-1950)
Authors: Imbruniz Cristian Henrique
Published: October 2023

Partindo das fichas de edição de O nosso idioma: curso elementar, que registram, longitudinalmente, os dados editoriais deste livro, tenho por objetivo investigar possibilidades de, teórica e metodologicamente, determinar relações entre livros didáticos e suas condições sócio-históricas de emergência e permanência nos seus espaços sociais de circulação. Para tanto, assumo uma abordagem aplicada de base discursiva, que, por meio da noção de acontecimento discursivo, aproxima-se de procedimentos da História, especialmente, do método serial. Proponho que as relações entre as instâncias de produção, circulação e recepção de livros didáticos sejam concebidas como acontecimentos discursivos, e os dados em série das fichas como enunciados informados pelas condições sócio-históricas de existência dessas instâncias. Os resultados mostram que, ao abordar, nesses termos, um produto editorial como o livro didático, pode-se abrir caminho para capturar suas relações contraditórias com fatos sociopolíticos, como reformas educacionais, afastando, assim, leituras mecanicistas sobre sua emergência e permanência.
No fio do (inter)discurso: tecendo identidades de professores/as de língua portuguesa

Esta pesquisa objetiva apresentar um estudo sobre a constituição dos perfis de novos/as professores/as de Língua Portuguesa em São Luís – MA, através de análises discursivas de Relatórios de Estágio Supervisionado do Ensino Médio. Para tanto, utiliza-se como alicerce teórico-metodológico a Análise de Discurso Crítica proposta por Chouliaraki e Fairclough (1999), Fairclough (2001, 2003), que entendem a importância da relação transdisciplinar entre a Linguística e diversas áreas do conhecimento científico. O corpus de investigação é composto por seis relatórios, produzidos no ano de 2019. Para as análises crítico-discursivas, neste trabalho, destacaram-se o significado representacional (discurso como modo de representação) e a categoria analítica interdiscursividade que buscou identificar os tipos de discurso e como eles se articulam. Os resultados apontam para representações identitárias construídas mediante práticas sociodiscursivas, sujeitos e instituições disciplinadoras que desenham, em certo nível, o que é e como se faz a docência no ensino de língua.
A toponimização de termos geográficos genéricos: nomes de municípios brasileiros
Authors: Tavares Marilze Tavares , Ananias Anna Carolina Chierroti dos Santos
Published: October 2023

O estudo tem como objetivo geral apresentar uma análise dos nomes dos municípios formados a partir de um item lexical comum considerado termo geográfico genérico relativo a acidente físico ou humano. O corpus examinado foi composto de 810 nomes extraídos da lista de topônimos de municípios disponibilizada pelo IBGE. As reflexões teórico-metodológicas que fundamentam o trabalho são, especialmente, as de Dauzat (1947), Dick (1990a, 1990b) e Trapero (1995). Como exemplo de resultados obtidos, citam-se os seguintes: esse tipo de nomeação está distribuído de forma, relativamente, equilibrada pelo Brasil, sendo um pouco mais frequente na Região Norte; os termos genéricos geográficos que mais resultam em topônimos são rio, campo e lagoa (dentre os de acidentes físicos); porto, vila e jardim (dentre os de acidentes humanos). Esses genéricos compõem topônimos como: Rio de Janeiro, Campo Largo, Lagoa da Canoa, Porto Alegre, Vila Rica, Jardim do Mulato.
