DA ADAPTAÇÃO À TRANSCRIAÇÃO: OLHARES SOBRE AS TRANSPOSIÇÕES TELEVISIVAS DE O TEMPO E O VENTO
Authors: Maziero Aline Cristina
Published: March 2018

Os meios audiovisuais de comunicação mantêm laços significativos com a literatura desde o início da produção cinematográfica. Tal “aproveitamento” de conteúdo artístico narrativo, seja de romances, peças teatrais ou poemas, apesar de ser uma prática recorrente, tem alcançado lugar de destaque também para a crítica, que se distanciando do paradigma ultrapassado da fidelidade a um texto “original”, primeiro, abre espaço para conceber os textos audiovisuais como novas obras, as quais, contudo, relacionam-se com o texto literário predecessor. É sob essa perspectiva que nos propomos, neste artigo, analisar o texto literário de Erico Verissimo, O tempo e o vento e suas adaptações audiovisuais homônimas, trabalho dos diretores Paulo José e Jayme Monjardim. Nosso intuito é, fazer uma breve exposição de conceitos como adaptação (BAZIN, 1991, HUTCHEON, 2011, STAM, 2006), passando pelo de tradução em Walter Benjamin (2008), para chegar ao conceito-chave dessa proposta, o de transcriação de Haroldo de Campos, exemplificando por meio da análise de sequências fílmicas das duas minisséries, como cada um dos textos fílmicos utiliza os recursos expressivos dessa arte para “tecer” sua narrativa. Para conceitos de linguagem cinematográfica, como as percepções de enquadramentos, movimentos de câmera e montagem utilizamos Bazin (1991), Xavier (2003) e Martin (2005).
A INFÂNCIA EM MOÇAMBIQUE COMO LUGAR PARATÓPICO NO DISCURSO ADI BANANA LÊ
Authors: Pastore Marina Di Napoli , Celestino Ricardo
Published: March 2018

Tomamos o discurso Adi banana lê, de Marina Pastore, como uma voz que catalisa uma das potencialidades da criança enquanto sujeito social em Moçambique. Ao colocar a criança moçambicana em um papel social distinto dos que comumente lhe são atribuídos pelo estigma eurocêntrico, o discurso projeta uma voz paratópica já que sinaliza uma nova identidade para a criança que ao longo da enunciação é posta como não legítima a agentes como a UNICEF e outros órgãos internacionais. Pela ressignificação do termo  trabalho, o discurso também explora um novo lugar para essa criança moçambicana, propondo uma espécie de nova-topia não comungada com os sistemas do capital. O trabalho não fere à liberdade da criança, mas enriquece seu senso de cidadania, seu conhecimento geográfico, entre outros aspectos. Como fundamentação teórica de base linguístico-discursiva, selecionamos a categoria de paratopia, proposta por Dominique Maingueneau e recorremos à noção de subjetivação teorizados por Judith Butler, na filosofia pós-estruturalista.

Published: March 2018

Com o intuito de identificar e discutir os elementos que permitem reconhecer, a partir de Uma Viagem à Índia: melancolia contemporânea (um itinerário) (2010), de Gonçalo M. Tavares, a dimensão da épica contemporânea, pretende-se analisar, com base em caráter bibliográfico e comparatista, o texto literário Uma Viagem à Índia (2010) e discutir de que maneira ele sistematiza as características da epopeia clássica. Logo, a narrativa do lusófono Gonçalo M. Tavares pode vir a ser um exemplo da nova formação literária no que tange ao gênero épico, por sua percepção hodierna sobre a realidade e sua capacidade de gerar hibridismos e intertextos relevantes para a literatura.
DA LEITURA NA ESCOLA PARA A LEITURA DO MUNDO: ROTEIROS DE LEITURA COMO PROPOSTA PEDAGÓGICA
Authors: Kaspari Tatiane , Rohr Welter Márcia , Assmann Saraiva Juracy
Published: March 2018

O reconhecimento da função formadora da literatura respalda sua defesa enquanto direito humano (CANDIDO, 2011). Tendo em vista as restrições a esse direito dentre grande parcela da população, a escola torna-se, por excelência, centro de difusão cultural, que deve fomentar o desenvolvimento de leitores críticos e competentes, capazes de estenderem seu protagonismo na interpretação de textos à participação social. Esse propósito motiva a realização do presente trabalho, que visa a discutir reflexos da abordagem escolar do texto literário na (de)formação de leitores no Ensino Médio e a indicar, como possibilidade pedagógica, os roteiros de leitura, propostos por Juracy Assmann Saraiva et al (2001, 2006, 2011, 2015). Parte-se do pressuposto, expresso por pensadores como Ligia Cademartori (2012), Marisa Lajolo (2001, 2002), Teresa Colomer (2007) e Vincent Jouve (2012), de que é necessário oferecer aos alunos uma variedade de textos com potencial simbólico, cuja leitura esteja inscrita em um processo de análise e de reflexão textual, capaz de deflagrar o exercício interpretativo em que dialogam horizontes de expectativa do leitor e da obra (JAUSS, 1978). Nessa perspectiva, os roteiros de leitura orientam a trajetória do aluno em sua interação textual, conforme exemplificado por resultados da aplicação do roteiro sobre Harry Potter e a pedra filosofal em duas turmas de Ensino Médio. A experiência possibilitou a alunos posicionar-se a respeito da qualidade da narrativa e comparar seus elementos com outras obras lidas. Além disso, os estudantes problematizaram o conceito escolar de literatura e assumiram sua voz no debate cultural provocado pela leitura.
O NARRADOR AUTORAL, O LEITOR CRIANÇA E A METAFICÇÃO EM “A MAIOR FLOR DO MUNDO”, DE JOSÉ SARAMAGO
Authors: Cortez Mariana , Dos Santos Felipe Matias
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo objetiva analisar duas estratégias estético-literárias utilizadas em A maior flor do mundo (2001), de José Saramago (1922-2010), são elas: a relação entre o narrador autoral e o leitor pretendido e o trabalho com a metaficção na literatura infantil. Ambos conceitos serão apresentados como procedimentos significativos na formação estética do leitor literário. Esta investigação será desenvolvida por meio de análise teórico-crítica do texto saramaguiano, utilizando as reflexões de Walter Benjamin (1994) sobre o narrador, de María Cecilia Silva-Díaz (2005) acerca da metaficção em obras para crianças e Peter Hunt (2010) em relação à definição e função da literatura infantil. O intuito dessa reflexão é desvendar as artimanhas do autor português contemporâneo no diálogo com a criança, um leitor inusitado em sua produção literária, e entender como uma obra da literatura infantil pode contribuir na formação de futuros leitores literários.
ESTUDOS COMPARADOS DE LITERATURAS: POSSIBILIDADES PARA O ENSINO
Authors: Baseio Maria Auxiliadora Fontana , Cunha Maria Zilda
Published: March 2018

Em face dos desafios que demanda a educação neste milênio, tendo em vista o ruir do antigo paradigma marcado pela disjunção, pela hiperespecialização, torna-se importante revisar práticas pedagógicas que envolvem a literatura. Busca-se avaliar princípios e dinâmicas cristalizados no ensino, entre os quais os da historiografia literária, que tem resultado em práticas de leitura um tanto panorâmicas, simplificadas e superficiais. Com uma visão fragmentada das obras literárias, muitas vezes para atender demandas de processos seletivos, o aluno realiza uma leitura ilustrativa de uma teoria ou de uma escola literária, em detrimento da fruição estética capaz de fazer valer questões existenciais, sociais e culturais do ser humano. Enlaçar, neste momento da história humana, literatura e educação, é redimensionar forças, é intercambiar saberes. Este artigo discute, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, a possibilidade de ensino de Literaturas de Língua Oficial Portuguesa a partir dos Estudos Comparados. Para tanto, perfaz-se uma análise de duas obras pertencentes ao macrossistema literário de língua portuguesa, colocando sob mira os projetos estéticos de Manoel de Barros e Mia Couto. Ambos estabelecem vínculo por meio da Língua Portuguesa, que oferece a possibilidade de irmanar as experiências. Conhecer linguagens literárias e projetos estéticos que sensibilizam para a compreensão de diferentes culturas contribui para relações mais humanitárias na medida em que faz possível analisar semelhanças e diferenças. O diálogo de autores e obras permite-nos analisar questões interculturais e intersemióticas, constituindo-se como proposta reflexiva para compreensão crítica do fenômeno literário e para o reconhecimento e valorização da diversidade e da reciprocidade.

Published: March 2018

This study aims to determine the impacts of fiscal decentralization, institutional transformation, and regional revenue to the income disparity among the provinces in Indonesia. This study uses panel data with the number of runs 528 pieces of data that includes 33 provinces in Indonesia period 2000-2015. The data were taken from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and Bank Indonesia. They were analyzed using a multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that tax revenue sharing fund and natural resources revenue sharing fund impact positive and significant on the income disparity among the provinces in Indonesia, while the general allocation fund, special allocation fund, institutional transformation, and the local revenue do not significantly affect the income disparity among the provinces in Indonesia. Tax and natural resources revenue sharing fund are actually exacerbating the gap of income distribution among regions in Indonesia. The implication of this study is that the government needs to review the allocation mechanism of General Allocation Fund, Special Allocation Fund, Tax Revenue Sharing Fund and Natural Resources Revenue Sharing Fund in order to serve as an instrument of fiscal capacity equalization of each region as well income distribution equalization among regions in Indonesia. The local government needs to continue improving the local revenue through the optimization of local tax revenue, regional retribution, profits of Regional Owned Enterprises, and other legitimate acceptances.

Published: March 2018

Millimeter-wave imaging is a promising technology for diagnosing skin burns, that may make it easier to assess and determine the burn depth in the near future. However, up to now, it has not yet been brought to clinical use due to the lack of clinical trails on patients and a millimeter-wave-aided classification of skin burns. In this paper, in a preliminary step, ex-vivo burned porcine skin is utilized to visualize and quantify skin that has been burned in different ways, and to access its effect on millimeter-wave images. For the first time, a 24 hour study of in-vivo human skin visualizes the effect of wound dressings using a fast imaging system operating at frequencies from 70 to 80 GHz. For validation, the effective relative permittivity of the skin and the dressings are measured using a open-ended coaxial probe. An analytical model is applied to calculate the reflection coefficient which are compared to the intensity of the millimeter-wave images to validate the model.

Published: March 2018

The purpose of this study was to formulate and validate a new green high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC)-UV method for quick quantification of rosuvastatin calcium (ROC) in standard drugs. The results showed a combination of ethanol:methanol:ethyl acetate (6:3:1 v/v) at a rate of 1.0 ml/min to be the best for identifying ROC and its separation from its breakdown products. The identification of ROC was achieved using a NUCLEODUR 150 mm×4.6 mm RP C8 column packed using 5 μm filler as the stationary phase and detection was performed at 254 nm. The technique developed was checked for linearity, selectivity, accuracy, precision, robustness and sensitivity as well as specificity. The usefulness of the proposed process was confirmed by analyzing ROC in a prepared self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) and over-the-counter products. The amount of ROC in SNEDDS was found to be 98.38%. The HPLC-UV system we developed effectively determined the ROC peak along with its breakdown products which confirmed the stability-indicating property of the projected system. The system could also be used to compare the solubility of rosuvastatin nanoparticles in standard drugs. These outcomes indicated that the developed HPLC could be effectively used for the regular investigation of ROC in standard drugs, various pharmaceutical formulations and drug release samples.
Dealing with systematic laser scanner errors due to misalignment at area-based deformation analyses
Authors: Holst Christoph , Medić Tomislav , Kuhlmann Heiner
Published: March 2018

The ability to acquire rapid, dense and high quality 3D data has made terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) a desirable instrument for tasks demanding a high geometrical accuracy, such as geodetic deformation analyses. However, TLS measurements are influenced by systematic errors due to internal misalignments of the instrument. The resulting errors in the point cloud might exceed the magnitude of random errors. Hence, it is important to assure that the deformation analysis is not biased by these influences. In this study, we propose and evaluate several strategies for reducing the effect of TLS misalignments on deformation analyses. The strategies are based on the bundled in-situ self-calibration and on the exploitation of two-face measurements. The strategies are verified analyzing the deformation of the Onsala Space Observatory’s radio telescope’s main reflector. It is demonstrated that either two-face measurements as well as the in-situ calibration of the laser scanner in a bundle adjustment improve the results of deformation analysis. The best solution is gained by a combination of both strategies.

Background:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease which affects various tissues and organs, including skin, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system. Cardiac involvement is the most commonly recognized problem and a significant cause of morbidity. The brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a previously known marker of elevated cardiovascular risk in SSc, but the levels of BNP in various forms of SSc have not been investigated so far.

Aim:The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of SSc on the function of the right ventricle and the right atrium using the echocardiographic parameters. Moreover, we examined the levels of BNP in different forms of SSc as well as the association of disease severity with the plasma concentrations of BNP.

Methods:We included 42 patients with newly diagnosed SSc and patients whose disease had been diagnosed earlier. SSc patients and non-SSc control patients were examined by using echocardiography and the concentrations of BNP were determined.

Results:We analyzed differences in the parameters of right ventricle (RV) function and right atrium (RA) function between SSc patients and healthy controls. The two groups had similar distribution of gender, but SSc patients were significantly older than controls. RV wall thickness was increased in SSc patients (p<0.001), while right ventricular end-systolic area (RVESA; p=0.408) and right ventricular end-diastolic area (RVEDA; p=0.368) did not differ among the examinees. In contrast, RA minor-axis dimension (p=0.001) and the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (p=0.001) were significantly higher in SSc patients. Also, we analyzed differences in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations between diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (DSSc) and limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (LSSc) patients. DSSc patients had significantly higher concentrations of BNP. We found that levels of BNP were in significant positive correlations with age (p=0.007), disease duration (p=0.023), C reactive protein (CRP) (p=0.032), right ventricle fractional area change (FAC) (p=0.022), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and Rodnan score (p=0.019).

Conclusions:Given the obtained results, the laboratory determination of BNP could be useful in differentiating different forms of systemic sclerosis as well as in predicting the severity of the disease and future cardiovascular complications.

Several studies support the evidence of increased incidence of hematological complications in Gaucher disease including monoclonal and polyclonal gammopathies and blood malignancies, especially multiple myeloma. Serum concentrations of immunoglobulins and PCR analysis of the IGH gene rearrangements were performed. The clonal PCR products were directly sequenced and analyzed with the appropriate database and tools. Serum monoclonal proteins were detected and identified by electrophoresis. Among 27 Gaucher patients, clonal IGH rearrangement was discovered in eight, with 5/8 having also serum monoclonal protein. Elevated immunoglobulins were detected in 9/27 patients. Follow-up data for 17 patients showed that the clonal rearrangement remained the same in four of them, however, in one patient it disappeared after the follow-up period. The remaining 12/17 patients were without previous IGH clonal rearrangement and remained so after the follow-up. Although clonal expansion may occur relatively early in the disease course, at least judging by the IGH gene rearrangements in Gaucher patients, the detected clones may be transient. A careful clinical follow-up in these patients is mandatory, including monitoring for lymphoid neoplasms, especially multiple myeloma.

Published: March 2018

Fractalkine (FKN) is an inflammatory cytokine that has been shown with increased serum levels in diabetic patients and is considered to contribute to the adipose tissue inflammation by supporting monocyte adhesion to adipocytes which has an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our aim was to evaluate the effects of glucose ingestion on the serum fractal - kine levels in healthy subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and newly diagnosed T2DM patients. A total of 67 patients were included in this study, and they were divided into NGT (n=34) and T2DM (n=33) groups according to their oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results. The serum FKN and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured at 0 and 120 minutes during an OGTT following overnight fasting. The 0-minute (basal) and 120-minute OGTT FKN levels were found to be significantly higher in the T2DM group when compared to the NGT group (p=0.012 and p=0.001, respectively). However, no significant differences were observed in terms of the changes in the basal and 120-minute OGTT FKN levels in the T2DM and NGT groups (p=0.433 and p=0.06, respectively). A significant positive correlation was observed between the 120-minute OGTT FKN and glucose levels in the study group consisting of all of the patients (r=0.331, p=0.006). Conclusions: In this study, basal and post-glycemic load FKN levels were found to be higher in newly diagnosed T2DM patients than those with NGT; however, there was no additional change in FKN levels by glycemic load.

To evaluate the pharmacoeconomics of three therapeutic schemes in treating anti-tuberluosis therapy -induced liver injury (anti-TB DILI).

Methods

In the construction of a decision tree model, the efficacy and safety parameters came from the results of the randomized, controlled trial conducted here, the effect parameters were derived from expert advice, and the cost parameters, such as usage specification, number, and unit price, came from literature, expert advice, and so on.

Results

The cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) based on the effect degrees showed that bicyclol had the best effect (4.63562). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) (206.03270) of bicyclol was the lowest. The cost-effectiveness ratio of silibinin was the lowest (68.59987). The CEA based on the complete normalization rate showed that bicyclol had the highest complete normalization rate (83.562%), the lowest cost-effectiveness ratio (4.63627), and the smallest ICER (4.63504). Sensitivity analyses proved the robustness of the results.

Conclusions

Bicyclol is the most cost-effective therapy and the preferred choice for treating anti-TB DILI.

Published: March 2018

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are diseases that occur only in preterm infants. The etiology of these disorders is multifactorial; however, it is believed that some of the factors in children presenting with BPD affect both the initiation and severity of ROP. The aim of the study was to evaluate the degree of clinical severity of ROP in infants with BPD compared to those without BPD.

Methodology

Infants were divided into two groups: the BPD+ study group and BPD- control group. Parameters including the incidence of ROP and its severity were compared.

Results

In neonates with BPD, more severe forms of ROP occurred significantly more frequently than in infants without BPD. Newborns with BPD required significantly longer use of mechanical ventilation; moreover, the number of days in which the concentration of oxygen in the respiratory mixture exceeded 50% was greater in BPD+ children . Children with BPD also received more blood transfusions compared to children without BPD.

Conclusions

Newborns in the BPD+ study group showed advanced stages of ROP more often than newborns in the BPD- control group. The etiology of ROP and BPD is multifactorial; however, our findings suggest oxygen plays a significant role in the development of these diseases.
Economic Policy Towards Domestic Stock Exchanges
Authors: Kowalski Wojciech Szymon
Published: March 2018

Over the past forty years, stock exchanges have undergone a number of transformations (legal, organizational and technological). They resulted both from general external conditions (including technological progress) as well as were the expression of various economic (structural) policies. Two of which seem to be basic. The first implemented in France, based on optimal centralization of stock exchange trading. The second one, implemented in Germany and Spain, expressing the concept of a complementary and effective combination of the potentials of the main trading floor and regional exchanges. Promisingly, especially in this latter dimension of experience together with the Edinburgh ‘stock market experiment’ that has just begun, they may reveal yet another not yet fully recognized characteristics of the stock market - the institutional exemplification of the market economy.
