ESTILO E ETHOS NA DISNEY: TRANSFORMAÇÕES DA IDENTIDADE
Authors: Teodoro da Silva Junior Mário Sérgio
Published: April 2017

Nos últimos anos, a semiótica discursiva ganhou, em seu repertório de reflexões teóricas, contribuições significativas para o estudo do fato de estilo com Discini (O estilo nos textos, 2013; e Corpo e estilo, 2015), permitindo reflexões sobre a identidade, alteridade e modo de ser do sujeito-enunciador no mundo social e semiológico. A identidade da Walt Disney, os estúdios de animação, é uma das mais persistentes temporalmente, com mais de 70 anos, e de grande popularidade. Pretendemos explorar no presente trabalho como um estilo pode permanecer tão constante e atual ao longo desse intervalo de tempo. Além dos desenvolvimentos das questões de ethos e estilo em Discini, recorreremos à conceitualização de ethos proposta por Maingueneau (Novas tendências em análise do discurso, 1997; A propósito do ethos, 2008). Selecionados três trailers de filmes da Disney, recobrindo o período de 1942, com o trailer de Bambi, a 1992, com o trailer do musical Aladim, e a 2013, com Frozen: uma aventura congelante. Assim, podemos observar o modo como o enunciador Disney se coloca no mundo, o modo como define seu enunciatário, como define o estilo outro ao qual não identifica, definindo uma imagem do próprio mundo em que se coloca.
ENTRE O DISCURSO OFICIAL E O DISCURSO KINIKINAU: AS REPRESENTAÇÕES DE ESCOLA E TERRITÓRIO .
Authors: Santos Daniele Lucena
Published: April 2017

Baseando-nos no discurso do documento oficial das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Escolar Indígena na Educação Básica (2012) e no discurso do povo Kinikinau temos como objetivo problematizar a construção identitária dos Kinikinau e analisar as representações de escola e território que perpassam esses discursos. A fim de buscar, valendo-nos das regularidades enunciativas, as formações discursivas e os interdiscursos que tecem os fios discursivos, visando uma discussão sobre os efeitos de sentidos gerados, desenvolvemos este artigo sob a perspectiva transdisciplinar da Análise do Discurso de linha Francesa, dialogando com os Estudos Culturalistas, e pautando-nos no processo de referenciação linguística e no método arqueogenealógico foucaultiano (2008; 2012). Partindo dos estudos de Authier-Revuz (1998); Coracini (2007); Foucault (2008, 2012); Orlandi (2008; 2009); Pêcheux (1988); Bauman (2005); Castells (2010) e Hall (2013), constatamos que os Kinikinau, estando em território de fronteira, ressignificam suas práticas sociais, e de que o discurso do documento oficial aponta para representações de escola e território atravessadas por formações discursivas e interdiscursos atrelados a questões políticas, contrariando os objetivos pelos quais foi criado e se divergindo das representações construídas pelos Kinikinau, articuladas em princípios culturais.
AFORIZAÇÕES E FEMINISMO NA INTERNET: ESTUDO DE FRASES CURTAS EMPREGADAS NO MOVIMENTO PRIMAVERA DAS MULHERES
Authors: Duarte Cristina Rothier , Melo Lafayette Batista
Published: April 2017

Resumo: Neste trabalho, tratamos da análise de frases curtas que tiveram destaque nas redes sociais e em notícias que circularam na Internet, durante o último trimestre de 2015, ápice do movimento Primavera da Mulheres, com o objetivo de investigar o seu status de aforização, suas características enunciativas e o seu modo de funcionamento e de circulação. O corpus da pesquisa é composto pelas frases curtas Meu amigo secreto e Chega de fiu fiu, selecionadas na Internet por meio da ferramenta de busca do Google, bem como mediante trabalho interpretativo dos enunciados para a verificação de associação com o movimento feminista mencionado. Empregaremos como aporte teórico os estudos de análise do discurso de linha francesa, sobretudo, publicações de Dominique Maingueneau. Observamos durante a pesquisa que, de forma associada às aforizações estudadas, surgiram outras aforizações que, apesar de não terem se panaforizado, circularam significativamente na mídia eletrônica perpetuando a memória discursiva do Movimento Primavera das Mulheres. Por outro lado, percebemos também que o uso dessas frases assumiu outros discursos que, embora, muitas vezes, remetam-se à defesa de minorias, não mais traziam o discurso de combate ao machismo.
PRODUÇÃO, PRODUTIVISMO, PLÁGIO: CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE A ORIGINALIDADE NA PESQUISA EM ENSINO DE LÍNGUAS
Authors: Fairchild Thomas Massao
Published: April 2017

Procuramos contribuir para a compreensão da universidade contemporânea analisando a noção de “originalidade” construída em práticas de pesquisa atuais. Partimos de uma problematização do plágio, argumentando que a emergência de debates a esse respeito pode estar sinalizando um aumento da tolerância à reprodução do conhecimento por meio do estabelecimento de formas “corretas” de se reproduzir pesquisas existentes. Procuramos dar tratamento teórico ao problema da “originalidade”, em seguida, retomando as discussões de Pêcheux (1995) acerca da “evidência do sentido” e do “pré-construído”. Valemo-nos desses conceitos para analisar enunciados de uma dissertação de mestrado; mostramos que essa pesquisa está organizada de tal forma a preservar o “pré-construído” de um discurso teórico mesmo quando os dados o contradizem. Perguntamo-nos como o trabalho é considerado “original” nessas condições. Esboçamos uma resposta dando ao discurso uma abordagem “econômica”, com base em Bourdieu (1998) e Zizek (2011). Apresentamos a tese de que o valor de “originalidade” da pesquisa, no contexto de um produtivismo protegido pelo Estado, pode ser produzido de forma especulativa por grupos que exercem um controle parcial dos processos de “apreciação” dos enunciados científicos.
Linking Soil Phosphorus to Dissolved Phosphorus Losses in the Midwest

Published: April 2017

Core Ideas

Soil test phosphorus remains an important factor in studying dissolved reactive P loss.

Identifying higher risk fields with STP could inform future management practices to reduce DRP loss.

STP was linearly related to DRP concentration loads in tile‐drained fields.

Monitoring STP in addition to implementing other BMPs should be considered to decrease DRP loss.

Harmful and nuisance algal blooms resulting from excess phosphorus (P) have placed agriculture in the spotlight of the water quality debate. Sixty‐eight site years of P loading data (combined surface runoff and tile flow) from 36 fields in Ohio were used to see if a soil test P (STP) concentration could be identified that allowed P application while still meeting recommended loss thresholds. Regression analysis revealed that P application to soils with STP concentration in the “critical level” range would result in P losses above the recommended Annex 4 thresholds. In addition, fertilizer application increased the risk of dissolved reactive P (DRP) loss as compared to years in which fertilizer was not applied. We determined that STP was a good screening method to identify fields that are at risk for greater P loss, but STP alone was not a good predictor of DRP loss, suggesting that a more holistic approach that includes upland management, edge‐of‐field practices, and in‐stream approaches will be required to decrease DRP loading.
Modeling the Effects of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems on Nitrate Loads Using SWAT in an Urban Watershed of Metropolitan Atlanta
Authors: Hoghooghi Nahal , Radcliffe David E. , Habteselassie Mussie Y. , Jeong Jaehak
Published: April 2017

Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) can be a source of nitrogen (N) pollution in both surface and ground waters. In metropolitan Atlanta, GA, >26% of homes are on OWTSs. In a previous article, we used the Soil Water Assessment Tool to model the effect of OWTSs on stream flow in the Big Haynes Creek Watershed in metropolitan Atlanta. The objective of this study was to estimate the effect of OWTSs, including failing systems, on nitrate as N (NO3–N) load in the same watershed. Big Haynes Creek has a drainage area of 44 km2 with mainly urban land use (67%), and most of the homes use OWTSs. A USGS gauge station where stream flow was measured daily and NO3–N concentrations were measured monthly was used as the outlet. The model was simulated for 12 yr. Overall, the model showed satisfactory daily stream flow and NO3–N loads with Nash–Sutcliffe coefficients of 0.62 and 0.58 for the calibration period and 0.67 and 0.33 for the validation period at the outlet of the Big Haynes Watershed. Onsite wastewater treatment systems caused an average increase in NO3–N load of 23% at the watershed scale and 29% at the outlet of a subbasin with the highest density of OWTSs. Failing OWTSs were estimated to be 1% of the total systems and did not have a large impact on stream flow or NO3–N load. The NO3–N load was 74% of the total N load in the watershed, indicating the important effect of OWTSs on stream loads in this urban watershed.

Core Ideas

We examined the importance of OWTSs on stream NO3–N load in the urban watershed.

The SWAT model sufficiently predicted the effect of OWTSs on NO3–N load.

The NO3–N load was the main component of the total N load in the watershed.
Long‐term Changes in Grassland Soil Phosphorus with Fertilizer Application and Withdrawal

Published: April 2017

Long‐term phosphorus (P) applications can increase soil P concentrations in excess of agronomic optima, posing a risk to water quality. Once fertilization stops, however, it may take time for soil P concentrations to decline. Whereas P fertilization adds orthophosphate, little is known about changes in other soil P forms during P buildup and drawdown. This study examined changes in P pools (total P, Olsen P, Mehlich P, and water‐extractable P) and P forms determined by 31P‐nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (P‐NMR) in grazed grassland plots from Northern Ireland. Between 1994 and 1999, all plots received 8.3 kg P ha−1 yr−1 with variable rates of nitrogen (100–500 kg N ha−1 yr−1). From 2000 to 2005, plots received 0, 20, 40, or 80 kg P ha−1 yr−1 and 250 kg N ha−1 yr−1; from 2005 to 2010, no P fertilizer was applied to any plots. In 2005, soil P pool concentrations at the highest P fertilization rates were significantly elevated compared with those in 2000 but had decreased to 2000 concentrations by 2010. In soils receiving no P, soil P pool concentrations were significantly lower than those in 1994 only in 2010. There were few changes in P forms determined by P‐NMR. Orthophosphate followed the same trend observed for the soil P pools; total organic P, total inositol phosphates, and total orthophosphate monoesters and diesters were highest in 2010 in the soil receiving no P fertilizer for 10 yr. For these soils, fertilizer application and cessation influenced inorganic P more than organic P.

Core Ideas

Investigated soil P forms with P fertilization and then without P fertilization.

Adding inorganic P in fertilizer increased inorganic P in soil.

Inorganic P concentrations decreased in soil after fertilizer cessation.

There were few changes in organic P during fertilization and after fertilizer cessation.
Evaluation of Methods for Estimating Transpiration Response to Soil Drying for Container‐Grown Plants
Authors: King C. Andy , Purcell Larry C.
Published: April 2017

Physiological responses in plants to drought at various fractions of transpirable soil water (FTSW) are often presented relative to well‐watered controls. Theoretically, this method allows for comparison of sensitivity among genotypes for various physiological processes and across experiments. It can be difficult to accurately estimate FTSW for measurements occurring over a relatively long period of time, such as gravimetric measurement of transpiration. This research evaluated the impact of determining the FTSW threshold at which transpiration begins to decline based on pot weights made at the beginning, ending, or average of daily transpiration periods. Pots were weighed once or three times daily during an 8‐d soil‐drying cycle for four soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genotypes grown in 2‐L pots. There were large artefactual differences in FTSW breakpoints among cultivars when either beginning or ending pot weights were used to estimate daily FTSW. In contrast, the estimated FTSW breakpoint was between 0.36 and 0.41 for all genotypes when the average of the beginning and ending interval pot weights was used to calculate FTSW, whether pots were weighed once or three times daily.

Published: April 2017

Objective:

The aim of this study was to assess differences in brain activation in a large sample of Vegetative State (VS) and Minimally Conscious State (MCS) patients, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Methods:

We studied 50 patients four to seven months after brain injury. By using international clinical criteria and validated behavioural scales such as the Glasgow Coma Scale and the Clinical Unawareness Assessment Scale, the patients were grouped intoVS(n=23) and MCS (n=27). All patients underwent to fMRI examination. After 6 months, the patients were reassessed using Glasgow Outcome Scale and Revised Coma Recovery Scale.

Results:

fMRI showed significant (p<0.01, cluster-corrected) brain activation in the primary auditory cortex bilaterally during the acoustic stimuli in patients with both VS and MCS. However, ten patients clinically classified as VS, showed a pattern of brain activation very similar to that of MCS patients. Six months later, these ten VS patients had significant clinical improvement, evolving into MCS, whereas the other VS patients and patients with MCS remained clinically stable.

Conclusion:

Brain activity could help in discerning whether the status of wakefulness inVSis also accompanied by partial awareness, as occurs in MCS. This may have very important prognostic implications.

Authors: Romo-Lozano José Luis , Vargas-Hernández Jesús , López-Upton Javier , Avila Angulo María Luisa
Published: April 2017

Uno de los dos grandes rubros de la valoración económica en el ámbito de los servicios ambientales asociados con recursos naturales es la valoración con mercado. Como su nombre lo indica, esta valoración utiliza información que se genera en el proceso de intercambio del bien o servicio valorado. El presente documento contiene un esfuerzo de este tipo de valoración, desde el punto de vista financiero, del cedro rojo (Cedrela odorata L.) en México. En este ejercicio se aplicó el método de precios de mercado para determinar el valor monetario de su principal uso (maderable), considerando el volumen de madera de la especie existente en los bosques naturales, con base en información generada a partir de las bases de datos del inventario nacional forestal. El efecto del volumen de madera, el precio y el costo del transporte sobre el valor total se evaluó mediante un análisis de sensibilidad. El valor maderable estimado de los árboles en pie asciende a la cantidad de MXN$5 282 183 404 (USD $288 328 788, a precios de mayo de 2016). De las tres regiones consideradas en esta valoración, la región Golfo de México es la de mayor aportación. De acuerdo con el análisis de sensibilidad realizado, el precio de la madera es el principal factor que afecta el valor maderable de la especie.

Published: April 2017

Small parks in cities are important to support overall urban biodiversity and ecological network. The aim of this paper is to introduce a method of identifying and assessing the ecological characteristics and anthropogenic factors of small urban parks. We developed a framework that combined structured observation and field measurement. The method suggests an integrative assessment that is practical and understandable to the park planners and managers to enhance small parks to support overall urban biodiversity and ecosystem services. High biodiversity can provide opportunities for humans to experience nature and wildlife in cities, thus contributing to the quality of life of urban dwellers.

A moeda social e o fortalecimento do espaço diferencial nas periferias
Authors: Resgala Gustavo
Published: April 2017

Este artigo compõe uma reflexão inicial de pesquisa que visa a explorar as relações entre pobreza urbana e desenvolvimento, abordando o processo de produção do espaço periférico urbano e a criação de moedas sociais locais. A análise tem em vista a classificação de Lefebvre dos diferentes processos componentes da produção do espaço junto à distinção entre urbano enquanto processo socioespacial emancipatório e urbano industrial, advindo unicamente da lógica de industrialização. Busca-se compreender a moeda social em seu potencial de questionar o sistema monetário (e demais aspectos da lógica hegemônica) e de promover alterações locais nas relações econômicas, sociais e políticas. Vislumbram-se, assim, possibilidades da demarcação de um território onde ganha força a diferença e a criatividade

As concepções de “Nova Universidade” e “Multiversidade” de José Mariano da Rocha Filho: modernização conservadora
Authors: Sponchiado Breno Antonio
Published: April 2017

O texto analisa as ideias mestras do pensamento de José Mariano da Rocha Filho, o pioneiro da interiorização do Ensino Superior no Brasil na UFSM. Perscruta o seu deslumbramento pelo modelo norte-americano de Universidade e seu projeto de transplantá-lo para o centro do Rio Grande do Sul, encontrando apoio do Governo Militar na sua proposta desenvolvimentista e dependente. Mostra que a “Nova Universidade” e a “Multiversidade” concebidas pelo Reitor representaram, por um lado, um avanço modernizador na estruturação, gestão e expansão do Ensino Superior e, ao mesmo tempo, um processo ideologicamente conservador e até reacionário, porquanto assentado em um ideário antidemocrático, centralizador e com um viés isolacionista. O que explica sua pouca duração. A pesquisa se instrumentalizou em análise crítica da produção bibliográfica de Mariano da Rocha e outros comentaristas e biógrafos.

Published: April 2017

Este estudo objetiva apresentar e analisar a elaboração e o desenvolvimento do Mecanismo Experimental (Mexa) que deu origem ao processo regional de acreditação de cursos universitários do Mercado Comum do Sul (Mercosul). Para tanto, abordaram-se a concepção de seu desenho, sua aplicação, seus impactos e suas contribuições para o estabelecimento do Sistema de Acreditação Regional de Cursos Universitários. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa se baseou em análise documental e em entrevistas realizadas com sujeitos que participaram da elaboração e/ou aplicação do Mecanismo, enfocando-se a atuação dos Estados-membro originários do bloco. Aferiu-se que se por um lado é possível considerar que o Mexa favoreceu  a cultura da avaliação e da acreditação do ensino superior na região, trazendo como logro a construção conjunta de todo o processo por seus participantes, por outro, as limitações de seu caráter experimental eivaram de vícios o processo regional, obstaculizando sua aplicação em larga escala.

Workaholic or easygoing?
Authors: Raunio Mika , Säävälä Minna
Published: April 2017

Growing immigration creates linguistically and culturally diverse working environments. National cultural characteristics are common concepts in everyday discourse in culturally heterogeneous workplaces as well as in academic research on work environments and management. By analysing empirical interview data from two arenas of productive activity in Finland, we show how national cultural characteristics are understood differently depending on the structural positioning of the arena in the local–national–transnational–global continuum. The data consists of a total of 53 in-depth interviews of foreign-born and Finnish-born experts working in high tech industries and research organizations, and white-collar and blue-collar workers in metal industries. Results illuminate how national interactive specificity is interpreted differently in global and local–national productive arenas. For instance, depending on the type of work, Finns could be describe as workaholics or as easy-going employees. The most central national cultural stereotypes have different interpretations among employees in the high tech business (global arena) and metal industries (mainly local and national arena).

Published: April 2017

Along Palagan Tentara Pelajar Street, rainfall runoff floods Sariharjo area regularly.The inundation is triggered by drainage channel that cannot convey rainfall runoff therefore itfloods street and settlement. Flood mitigation is conducted by evaluating existing channelcapacity. Several analyses were carried out such as evaluation of existing drainage network,calculation of flood discharge, and channel hydraulic calculation. Flood discharge is analyzed byusing rational method, and channel conveyance discharge is calculated by using Manningequation. Forty masonry channels were evaluated to determine their discharge conveyance. Theywere evaluated by using areal rainfall discharge method, and street drainage method at 5 yearsreturn flood discharge. All of channels cannot convey areal rainfall discharge. Moreover therewere 5 channels that cannot convey flood discharge calculated by using street drainagemethod. Dimension improvement is needed to overcome inundation. Channel width must beincreased from 0.30 m to 0.60 m, and channel height must be improved 0.60 m to 0.90 m.Abstrak: Banjir dan genangan pada badan jalan masih terjadi di kawasan desa Sariharjo, lokasi terparah pada jalan Palagan Tentara Pelajar. Genangan disebabkan oleh saluran drainase yangtidak mampu lagi menampung air hujan, sehingga melimpas ke badan jalan dan pemukimanpenduduk, menyebabkan kerugian berupa terganggunya arus lalulintas (kemacetan). Oleh karenaitu, perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengevaluasi kapasitas saluran yang ada. Data sekunderdiperlukan meliputi peta Rupa Bumi Indonesia (RBI), data hujan harian, sedangkan data primeradalah pengukuran langsung dari semua saluran drainase pada wilayah penelitian, kondisi saluran,dan lokasi saluran yang sering meluap. Analisis yang dilakukan meliputi pola jaringan drainaseeksisting, banjir rancangan, dan hidraulika saluran.

ALTERNATIF PENENTUAN BATAS CAIR DAN BATAS PLASTIS DENGAN TIGA VARIASI BERAT KONUS MENGGUNAKAN METODE LEE DAN FREEMAN (2009)
Authors: Widjaja Budijanto , Sundayo Priscillia
Published: April 2017

For fine soils, the most common laboratory tests are Atterberg limits, i.e. plastic andliquid limits. This paper presents two standards for determining liquid limit: ASTM and BritishStandards. Both standards use Casagrande cup and fall cone penetrometer tests. In spite of thefact from its a dvantage and shortcoming, fall cone penetrometer tends the minimum operatormistakes comparing to Casagrande cup. Moreover, a lack for determining plastic limit using byrolling soil samples with three mm in diameter also is caused by operator error. To reduce thathuman error, Lee and Freeman recommend using fall cone penetrometer to obtain plastic andliquid limits by a combination of two distinct weight of cones. In this research, tests wereconducted using two combinations of two different weight of cones. There are 12 remoldedsamples taken from Java and Madura islands. A combination using cones with single anddouble standard weight gives a better result that a combination with single and triple standardweight. The contribution of this research at least gives an alternative way to determine plasticand liquid limits using fall cone penetrometer test. Abstrak: Untuk penyelidikan tanah geoteknik, umumnya pada tanah butir halus diujibatas-batas Atterberg yaitu berupa batas cair dan batas plastis.

We also divided CSR disclosures in four sub-dimensions. The samples used in this research were 115 listed agriculture, mining, and manufacturing companies in indonesian Stock Exchange which studied during the years of 2010. Using SPSS 20, The analysis methods of this research used multiple regression analysis. Studies shows that not all dimensions of CSR disclosure effect on institutional ownership. Only product dimensions of CSR disclosures has a significant positive impact on institutional ownership. However, this paper fail to find any significant impact of another CSR dimensions.

Beta has been argued, both conceptually as well as empirically. In 1960's, many practitioners used superior advantages in calculation attempted at CAPM theory for investing in asset which has high Beta. Many empirical researches on the later years refused the existence of security market line from CAPM. Afterwards, many practitioners and academicians stated the death of CAPM. Linear regression method could be used to make decision if it had already matched the criteria for Best Linear Unbiased Estimator. Prediction model is a statistic testing which aimsat knowing whether there is a relationship or effect between researched variables. Nonparametric method is an alternative action which is taken when the research model does not match normality assumption. This research, as shown by the use of weekly data, could be free from technical trading problems in predicted systematic risk. While ASII, HRUM, and TLKM stock returns are affected more by other factors. This condition has caused systematic risk not to affect significantly on those stocks. Another result has shown that banking stocks, which became part of LQ45, have higher systematic risk respectively.
Dinamika PMA dan PMDN di Indonesia Sebagai Dampak Dari Upah Minimum, Inflasi dan PDRB Tahun 2004-2012: Pendekatan Dynamic Panel Data Model

This paper aims at investigating the behavior of foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic direct investment (DDI) in Indonesia, which is expected to be explained by several explanatory variables including the setting of regional minimum wage, inflation, as well as regional domestic product. More specifically, the investigation is focused on the effect of annual increase in the minimum regional wage, provided that it is a sensitive issue for investors. Using 33 provincial level data in a period from 2004 to 2012, this paper uses a dynamic panel data which allows us to see the behavior of direct investment in the short run as well as in the long run. The result shows that an increase in the regional minimum wage setting reduces both DDI and FDI in the short run. However, in the long run, an increase in the regional minimum wage is likely to increase both DDI and FDI. This is likely indicating that in the long run an increase in wage is expected to be accompanied by higher productivity, eventhough in the short run higher wage increases cost of production which will undermine investment.
