Published: March 2019

Background: Malaria continues to be a serious public health problem in South-East Asia including India. We assessed knowledge, attitudes, recognition of signs and symptoms and treatment seeking behavior about malaria and its control in patients with fever attending fever clinic at tertiary care hospital, Kolkata, India. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire based survey was done in patients attending fever clinic.  A total of (n = 68) patients with fever were interviewed using standardized questionnaire. Results: A total of 68 subjects were interviewed, including 19 (27.94%) females and 49 (72.06%) males. Mean age was 39.8 ± 17.2 years (18–78). About 5 (7.35%) were illiterate. All of the study participants had heard of malaria. The most common response on the source of information regarding malaria was radio (32.35%) followed by TV (29.41%) and friends (26.47%). About 52.94% replied that malaria can be prevented. Approx 39.7% subjects informed that fever plus chills are the most clinical features of malaria, followed by (fever+ chills + bodyache) in 32.35% cases. The most common response on the source of information regarding malaria transmission by mosquito bite was in 92.65% cases. Knowledge about breeding places of mosquitoes was informed as dirty stagnant water by 47.06%. Conclusions: Greater awareness about malaria and undertaking a broader range of preventive actions for malaria influence appropriate treatment-seeking behaviour. This study was conducted to understand issues, which can be an important step towards developing strategies, aimed at controlling malaria. The positive attitudes and practices in relation to personal protection and prevention measures against malaria require marked improvement.

Introduction

Unhealthy dietary practices, sedentary lifestyle and obesity have emerged as major risk factors of Non communicable diseases (NCD).[1] In India there is shift in dietary patterns to more ‘Western’ diets rich in saturated fat, refined foods and sugar and low in fibre[2] due to which there is a higher prevalence of traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, tobacco use and high intake of saturated fat.[3] In 2000, the International Obesity Task Force of the WHO (IOTF-WHO) proposed a modification of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guidelines on overweight/obesity which is as follows : Overweight, 23 to <25; class I obesity, 25 to <30; and class II obesity, ≥30. Redefining the obesity cut-off (BMI >25) creates an “obesity burden” in urban India.[4]

Published: March 2019

Lymph nodes are parts of the lymphatic system. Lymph node helps to filter out viruses, bacteria, cancer cells and other unwanted substances safely removed from the body. Lymphadenopathy is common clinical problem frequently give dilemma in diagnostic. Enlargement of lymph node is a common problem which evaluate as a Lymphadenopathy. An abnormality in size and character of lymph node in known as Lymphadenopathy which also consider as enlarged abnormally that measures more than 10mm in its diameter than normal. Lymphadenopathy is common clinical problem frequently give dilemma in diagnostic. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has become an important tool for initial diagnosis and management for patients suffering from Lymphadenopathy because of early result, simple for test and minimal trauma to patient. The main aim of this study is to Correlation of Clinicopathological condition presenting with Lymphadenopathy. Role of FNAC in diagnosis will also evaluate with node biopsy and open lymph. Material and methods: Total 100 patients were included in this study. For all 100 patients fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done. In 75 cases excision biopsy was done. Pathological diagnosis was obtained in all cases. Fine needle aspiration cytology, excision biopsy, throat, ear and nose examination were carried out as a required base line investigations. Result: Total 80 patients were studies in this study. Out of this 80 patients 30 cases were IPD and remaining were OPD. FNAC as well as biopsy were carried out from total patients in this study. In this study Tubercular Lymphadenitis was observer maximum. Out of 80 patients 47(58.75%) were male and 33(41.25%) were female patients. Age group 20-30 years (35%) were maximum number of patients which was followed by 30-40 years (23.75%) and 10-20 years (21.25%) respectively was observed. Out of 80 patients 50(62.5%) were diagnosis as Tubercular Lymphadenitis and Chronic Non-specific Lymphadenitis was diagnosis in 10 (12.5%). Reactive lymphadenitis was diagnosed in 8(10%) patients whereas Malignant secondary’s were diagnosed in 7(8.75%) patients followed by 3(3.75%) patients suffer from lymphomas and 2(2.5%) were Non- Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Conclusion: Lymphadenopathy is a clinical evaluation followed by FNAC which is reliable diagnostic tool that is easy to perform; cost effective, speedy results accurate can be obtained. Specialist input is the main requirement for this. Biopsy is also useful in cases of lymphomas that act as diagnostic tool. When FNAC report is inconclusive, in nonspecific lymphadenitis than Biopsy is much helpful for accurate diagnosis and management. Hence, in cases of Lymphadenopathy FNAC was found to be reliable, simple and cost effective method for diagnosis.

Majority (80.4%) of them had a poor level of knowledge during the pre-test, which reduced to 7.1% after the intervention. Paired sample T-test detected significant difference in the mean knowledge scores between the pretest and the post test. Conclusion: Only 54% of the total deliveries were monitored using a partograph and over 90% of these partographs were incomplete. Majority of the participants had a poor level of knowledge during the pre-test.
An Untoward Effect: Anticoagulation Therapy in Cancer Patients Leads to Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Increased Mortality
Authors: Mathew Dr. Arine
Published: March 2019

Cancer, a condition involving uncontrolled division of cells, ranks second among leading causes of death worldwide.[1] According to an estimate, cancer will contribute 609,640 deaths in the year 2018 in United States.[2] Therefore, cancer is a major public concern as it has high morbidity and mortality rates. The patients with cancer are at high risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) as it is a hypercoagulable state.[3] Therefore, thrombotic events are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among the patients with cancer.[4,5] Recommendations of anticoagulation in acute VTE are same in the patients with or without cancer.[3] Anticoagulation prophylaxis and therapy is recommended in the patients with cancer who are hospitalized with acute illness or undergoing major surgery and those who have developed VTE, respectively.[6] Usually, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and direct oral anticoagulants are used for the treatment of VTE in the patients with cancer. The purpose of this anticoagulation is to prevent extension, recurrence and embolism of thrombus. However, higher recurrence of VTE and risk of bleeding complicates the treatment.

Authors: Kiran Dr. Mayuresh Dilip , Vakharia Dr. Monali , Pawaskar Lalit Jeevan , Sheikh Shaheen Naseem
Published: March 2019

Background: Prior studies have estimated prevalence of CKD among non-institutionalized adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at 34.5–42.3%, with most CKD cases identified as early stage (stage 1 or 2). Diabetes affects many organs, and complications due to high blood glucose are an important cause of disability, reduced quality of life, and premature death. (8) There is paucity of data regarding efficacy and safety of teneligliptin in T2DM with chronic kidney disease (CKD) especially in Indian population and therefore this study was planned. Methods: This was a phase IV, multi-centric, open labelled, non-comparative, user initiated study done in 405 patients diagnosed with CKD due to uncontrolled T2DM. Patients were given samples of Teneligliptin 20 mg at initial visit at day 1 and asked to take one tablet daily for a total of 90 days. Glycemic and renal profile during initial and follow up visit was used for efficacy evaluation. Patients were instructed to keep a diary to record daily symptoms and adverse events if any for safety evaluation. Results: Teneligliptin reported significant mean reduction in FPG and PPBG by 40.4 and 57.5 mg/dl respectively. At 12 weeks, statistically significant 0.9% reduction in HbA1c was noted. Effects on renal parameters were also found significantly positive in this study, with reduction of Sr. creatinine by around 4% and reduction in the BUN of around 9%. There was decrease in mean urinary albumin and UACR and increase in mean eGFR, though it was not statistically significant. Among all the patients, 6.41% of patients experienced adverse event. Hypoglycemia was the most common adverse event seen in 4.44% of patients followed by constipation (1.23%) and gastritis (0.74%). Conclusion: The study reported significant improvement in glycaemic control, serum creatinine and BUN with teneligliptin.

Authors: Grewal Dr. Tejinderpal Kaur , Kaur Dr. Balwinder , Kumar Dr. Parmod , Kaur Dr. Sukhdeep
Published: March 2019

Background: Caudal epidural block is one of the most common regional techniques in paediatric anesthesia. It is safe, easy to perform and has been found to be very effective in children undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries .Ropivacaine produces differential neuraxial blockade with less motor block and reduced cardiovascular toxicity. Various adjuvants are added to increase the duration of action of local anesthetics. The aim of our study was to evaluate the action of fentanyl on duration of postoperative analgesia when added as an adjunct to ropivacaine in paediatric population of age 3-8 years undergoing infraumbilical surgeries. Methods: A double blind, prospective, comparative and randomized study was conducted on 50 paediatric patients undergoing elective infraumbilical surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 25 each by simple envelope method. After securing airway, caudal anaesthesia was given. Group R received 0.2% ropivacaine 0.5ml/kg and Group RF – received 0.2% ropivacaine 0.5ml/kg with fentanyl 0.5mcg/kg. Post-operative pain was assessed by face, legs, activity, cry and consolability pain assessment scale for 24 h. Duration of motor blockade and side effects were noted. The hemodynamics, duration of post-operative analgesia and number of rescue analgesia needed was noted and analyzed statistically. Results: Mean duration of analgesia in ropivacaine group is 441.60±102.29 minutes (7.35hrs) and in ropivacaine fentanyl group was 892±313.84 (14.86hrs). Statistically the difference was highly significant as p value was <0.001. Conclusions: Fentanyl as an adjuvant to ropivacaine for caudal block has significantly improved analgesic efficacy and increased the duration of post-operative analgesia in children undergoing infraumbilical surgery.

Semen cryopreservation is an integral part of infertility treatment in the current day scenario. Recovery of an optimal number of functionally intact spermatozoa from thawed samples has always been the main objective of semen cryopreservation technology. The aim of this study was to compare of Commercial freezing media with Glycerol egg yolk citrate and Soy lecithin media for the cryopreservation of human spermatozoa. This prospective observational study was done at the department of reproductive medicine and surgery, Sri Ramachandra University during the period of August 2015 to January 2016. Male partner of the infertile couple visiting OPD for infertility treatment with normal semen quality (Normozoospermic) were included in the study. Each semen sample was divided into three aliquots and frozen with Commercial media, Glycerol Egg Yolk Citrate (GEYC) media and soy lecithin media. Semen analysis and sperm function tests before freezing and after thawing namely Acrosome reaction, Capacitation and Mitochondrial potential was compared between the groups. There was a significant decline in motility, vitality and functional parameters of the sperms compared to fresh and frozen thawed in all the groups. However, among the frozen thawed groups, the commercial media and GEYC media were comparable in motility and viability parameters;GEYC media was superior to Commercial media in functional sperm parameter maintenance.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the prognostic factors and survival after preoperative radiotherapy in Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas (ESTS). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all patients treated for an extremity sarcoma with pre-operative radiotherapy followed by surgery. Results: The mean follow-up for all 24 ESTS patients was 15.5 (range: 10-39 months). At last follow-up, 9 patients (37%) were alive, 15 patients (62%) had died of distant disease progression. Among the patients died, there were 15 with metastatic relapse (13 lung and 2 cranial metastasis), 5 with both local and metastatic recurrence. The median OS was 16 month. The 2-years actuarial OS rate and 3-years OS rate were 39% and 26%, respectively. The median RFS was 14(12.5-15.4) month. The 2-years and 3-years RFS rate was 71%.The median MFS was 12 months. The 2-years and 3-years MFS rate were 33%, 17%, respectively. The effects of age, sex, histopathologic type, tumor size, tumor localization, tumor grade, tumor depth, radiation doses and recestion margin on OS, RFS, MFS were not observed. In univariate and multivariate model, it was observed that recurrence decreased OS time significantly (p<0.05). Conclusion: Recurrens and metastasis are strong and negative prognostic factor for survival in extremity soft tissue sarcoma patients.
CURRENT STATE OF FINANCING HEALTHCARE IN RUSSIA
Authors: Avdeeva Lilia Olegovna , Kozyrenko Elena Igorevna
Published: March 2019

The article touches upon the problem of financing health care in the world today, which is carried out mainly at the expense of budget funds, employers, population and enterprises in different proportions. The share of each of these sources in the total amount of funds allocated by society to health care determines the model of financing this economic sector. The budget model of financing the health care does not fully cover the needs of the population in the guaranteed volume of free medical care. In recent years, such sources as direct payment for medical services and voluntary health insurance programs have brought a certain amount of money to the Russian health care system. The conducted analysis of the financial support of the health care system in Russia proved that the cost of the program of state guarantees increases throughout the whole period. Means of compulsory medical insurance as well as budgetary allocations of the entities of the Russian Federation are used to finance the program of State guarantees. The volume of compulsory health insurance funds is increasing, the growth rate of compulsory health insurance in 2017 outpaced the rate assigned by the program. In 2016 revenue growth and spending cuts brought the Federal Fund of compulsory medical insurance to a deficit-free budget, but in 2017 the growth of spending outpaced revenue growth, which leads to a deficit. There can be seen the positive dynamics of growth rates of insurance premiums for voluntary health insurance. Currently, underfunding of territorial programs is compensated by the population independently through the use of voluntary health insurance and paid medical services. The main objective of the further transformation of compulsory medical insurance system is stated to increase the volume of financing of the system. In the process of adjusting state obligations the deficit of financial provision of territorial programs of state guarantees should be taken into account, which has already been redistributed due to its insecurity, but without legislative consolidation. The reserve of redistribution will be the increase in payments under contracts of voluntary medical insurance and funds received by medical organizations from the provision of paid medical services.
TYPOLOGY OF SPATIAL-ECONOMIC FORMS OF SEA PORT AGGLOMERATIONS
Authors: Saltykov Maksim Aleksandrovich
Published: March 2019

The article analyzes the spatial and economic forms of marine port agglomerations. The notion ‘port agglomeration’ and genesis of different sea port agglomerations have been reviewed. Theoretical basis of the analysis is presented by the works of V. N. Obraztsov, S. V. Zemblinov, I. Tyunen, S. Zamansky, M. Porter et al. Transport processes, arrangement of transport junctions, assessment of their influence on the performance of the regional economics have been stated to take importance in the research conducted by the scientists. The detailed economic characteristics of a transport hub, regional sea transport and logistic complexes, transport and logistics cluster and special economic zones of the port type has been given. The concept of cross-border sea transport and logistic clusters has been formulated; their typology according to economic grounds has been developed. As a result of the statistical analysis of cargo turnover in the Russian ports there came out two clusters with great cargo turnover. There have been given data about the large Russian ports: Novorossiysk, Ust’-Luga, Port Vostochny, Primorsk, Port St. Petersburg, Murmansk, Port-Caucasus, Vanino, Tuapse, Nakhodka. It has been inferred that the great number of ports function as port junctions and need investments and modernization of the main production assets. The Russian sea transport and logistic complex is a part of the global transport system, in which can be seen similar changes and lagging from the developed countries. Very few of the Russian ports develop dynamically and can be reorganized into the transport- logistic clusters.
TO THE QUESTION ON THE INSTITUTIONAL STATUS OF PUBLIC CORPORATIONS
Authors: Makarenko Olga Sergeevna , Kurchenkova Maria Vladimirovna , Kurchenkov Vladimir Victorovich
Published: March 2019

The state corporations play an important role in the Russian economy today, being the breakthrough points of economic growth. They create the base for ensuring effective stabilization policy in the country and provide the sustainable development of the national economy in the long term. A state corporation is founded after drafting and passing the law at the federal level, which is its general founding document. A public corporation in Russia was understood as a conceptually new type of a nonprofit organization. Later, the Federal law on nonprofit organizations has been amended whereby a public corporation is regarded as a nonprofit organization founded by the state, which is paying material contribution and forming managerial staff. There have been determined the main stages of evolution of the state corporations in the Russian economy that show periods of their arising, intensive development and structural transformation. There have been given and systematized the general characteristics, which stipulate the specific conditions for establishing their institutional status. There have been listed legal and regulatory characteristics of the state corporations. It has been stated that the state corporation receiving funds directly from the budget doesn’t have to provide full information about its activities. There have been given examples of real corporations of a business entity which is a part of a company’s name. Such business entities don’t have a status of a state corporation, but bear a corresponding abbreviation in their names. The names of big industrial holding companies may contain the word “corporation”, as well. There has been given a comparative analysis of state corporations and other corporate structures on such criteria as a form of business organization, ownership situation, methods of state governing and control, business openness, and others.

Equivalent alkane carbon number of crude oils: A predictive model based on machine learning
Authors: Creton Benoit , Lévêque Isabelle , Oukhemanou Fanny
Published: March 2019

In this work, we present the development of models for the prediction of the Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number of a dead oil (EACNdo) usable in the context of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes. Models were constructed by means of data mining tools. To that end, we collected 29 crude oil samples originating from around the world. Each of these crude oils have been experimentally analysed, and we measured property such as EACNdo, American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity and
$ {\mathrm{C}}_{{20}^{-}}$
, saturate, aromatic, resin, and asphaltene fractions. All this information was put in form of a database. Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) have been applied to the database to derive models able to predict Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number (EACN) of a crude oil. Developed correlations returned EACNdo values in agreement with reference experimental data. Models have been used to feed a thermodynamics based models able to estimate the EACN of a live oil. The application of such strategy to study cases have demonstrated that combining these two models appears as a relevant tool for fast and accurate estimates of live crude oil EACNs.
Total Synthesis of (+)-Granatumine A and Related Bislactone Limonoid Alkaloids via a Pyran to Pyridine Interconversion
Authors: Newhouse Timothy , Schuppe Alexander , Zhao Yizhou , Liu Yannan
Published: March 2019

We report the first total synthesis of (+)-granatumine A, a limonoid alkaloid with PTP-1B inhibitory activity, in 10 steps. Over the course of this study, two key methodological advances were made: a cost effective procedure for ketone a,b-dehydrogenation using allyl-Pd catalysis, and a Pd-catalyzed protocol to convert epoxyketones to 1,3-diketones. The central tetrasubstituted pyridine is formed by a convergent Knoevenagel condensation and carbonyl-selective electrocyclization cascade, which was followed by a direct transformation of a 2H-pyran to a pyridine. These studies have led to the structural revision of two members of this family.

Authors: Newhouse Timothy , Turlik Aneta , Chen Yifeng , Scruse Anthony
Published: March 2019

The total synthesis of principinol D, a rearranged kaurane diterpenoid, is reported. This grayanane natural product was constructed via a convergent fragment coupling approach, wherein the central 7-membered ring was synthesized at a late stage. The bicyclo[3.2.1]octane fragment is accessed by a Ni-catalyzed α-vinylation reaction, followed by a diastereoselective SmI2-mediated ketone reduction. The convergent strategy reported herein may be an entry point to a wide range of kaurane diterpenoids.

Authors: Zweig Joshua E. , Ko Tongil , Huang Junrou , Newhouse Timothy
Published: March 2019

The most red-shifted hemithioindigo photoswitches have been identified through systematic introduction of aryl units to a parent pyrrole hemithioindigo photoswitch. Increasing the size of the 5’-aryl substituent is ineffective at producing further redshifted chromophores. A second generation of 3’,5’-diarylated photoswitches which possess increased tunability is reported. Experimental and computational evidence indicates the 4’ position is electronically isolated from the bulk of the conjugated system.
Miradas cruzadas hacia la pobreza desde uma perspectiva crítica transdisciplinaria
Authors: Silva Denize Elena Garcia da , Abril Neyla Graciela Pardo
Published: March 2019

O objetivo do artigo é articular, desde uma perspectiva transdiciplinária, concepções teóricas que permitem discutir a questão social da pobreza com base em estudos críticos do discurso (ECD), sobretudo, os que relacionam a noção cognitiva de contexto com propriedades de gêneros discursivos, registros, estilos e retórica (van Dijk, 2007, 2008; Fairclough, 2003). Essas propriedades, vinculadas ao discurso como prática sócia, contribuem para a análise de eventos comunicativos que emergem de ‘contextos de situação’ e refletem ‘contextos de cultura’.
Transdisciplinaridade e análise de discurso: migrantes em situação de rua
Authors: Coracini Maria José
Published: March 2019

Este texto pretende, primeiro, apresentar nossa perspectiva sobre a relação entre transdisciplinaridade e análise de discurso, argumentando a favor da heterogeneidade teórica: teorias do discurso (principalmente Foucault), desconstrução (Derrida) e psicanálise (Lacan).  Segundo, ligar essa heterogeneidade a alguns resultados de uma pesquisa sobre migrantes brasileiros em situação de rua – pessoas de outras regiões que vivem no Estado de São Paulo. Interessamo-nos em compreender algumas de suas representações sobre si próprios e sobre o outro. Dentre outros, o discurso da vítima e alguns valores de seu passado se fazem presentes em sua fala, o que aponta, ao mesmo tempo, para uma tendência à inatividade e à manutenção de esperanças, apesar de serem excluídos pela sociedade hegemônica.

A EXPRESSÃO GRAMATICAL DA POLIDEZ EM TAPIRAPÉ
Authors: Praça Walkíria Neiva , Vicente Helena Da Silva Guerra
Published: March 2019

Argumentamos, neste artigo, que o Tapirapé, língua indígena do estado de Mato Grosso, lança mão de estratégias de polidez negativa (Goffmann, 1959; Brown & Levinson, 1987 [1978]), que se manifestam por meio de uma quebra na hierarquia de pessoa (1>2>3) comumente observada em línguas do tronco Tupí-Guaraní (Monserrat & Facó Soares, 1983). Nossa hipótese é a de que a quebra se dá justamente em situações nas quais ofalante procura minimizar uma posição de superioridade em relação à de seu interlocutor.

MEMÓRIA E ARQUIVO NO DISCURSO JORNALÍSTICO: A ANISTIA EM REVISTA
Authors: Lampoglia Francis , Romão Lucília Maria Sousa
Published: March 2019

Este artigo estuda o funcionamento discursivo de capas de jornais e boletins publicadas entre 1978 e 1979, marcando os movimentos de sentidos construídos na trama midiática em relação ao eixo temático anistia, no período final da ditadura militar. Mobilizando centralmente as noções memória e arquivo no âmbito da Análise do Discurso de matriz francesa, procuramos investigar como os sentidos não são fixos, mas passíveis de deslocamentos e reinscrevem-se de modo sempre plural definidos pelas condições de produção sócio-históricas.
TEXTO, DISCURSO, GÊNEROS TEXTUAIS E PRÁTICAS SOCIAIS NA SOCIEDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA: TRIBUTO A JOSÉ LUIZ MEURER
Authors: Heberle Viviane M.
Published: March 2019

Neste ensaio presto uma homenagem ao Prof. José Luiz Meurer, cuja morte prematura ocorreu no dia 24 de outubro de 2009. Primeiramente apresento um breve relato de sua carreira acadêmica, enfatizando sua atuação como docente e pesquisador. A seguir, discuto as questões teóricas e metodológicas de seu interesse, que se alinham aos propósitos do presente periódico Cadernos de Linguagem e Sociedade. Mais especificamente, discuto a visão do Prof. Meurer em relação aos termos texto, discurso, gênero textual, práticas sociais e sua proposta de uma teoria social do contexto para a análise de textos na contemporaneidade, que ele desenvolveu a partir de estudos em gêneros textuais, análise crítica do discurso e linguística sistêmico-funcional.
“THEME” AND “SUBJECT” IN SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS: A DISCUSSION OF THEMATIC STATUS
Authors: Montemayor-Borsinger Ann
Published: March 2019

O Tema, como ponto de partida da mensagem, embora figure entre as ideias verdadeiramente seminais de Halliday na perpectiva sistêmicofuncional, ainda carece de debates no que concerne a seus limites. Este artigo apresenta diferentes interpretações sobre a relação entre Tema e Tópico, o que pode explicar porque muitos sistemicistas tiveram dúvidas sobre o status dessa última categoria quando precedida por um Tema marcado. Particularmente interessantes são os pontos de vista sugeridos por Matthiessen (1995) e Ravelli (1995), uma vez que ambos sugerem enfocar cláusulas declarativas desde uma perspectiva dinâmica, mediante as gradações progressivas de Tema a Rema. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de critérios de reconhecimento simples e eficazes, o que pode variar de acordo com o gênero de texto examinado.
Geografia e narrativas de viagem como ferramentas imperialistas
Authors: Mizan Souzana
Published: March 2019

Narrativas de viagem e a geografia são consideradas, nos dias de hoje, como maneiras de conhecer povos e lugares de locais remotos do nosso mundo globalizado (Holland e Huggan, 2000: 2). Contudo, é de suma importância para o nosso entendimento do imperialismo e seu aparato reconhecer que a geografia e as narrativas de viagem foram usadas no percurso da história como ferramentas para articular a autoridade de status quo (Pratt, 1992). Este artigo traça uma breve genealogia desses gêneros textuais com o objetivo de discutir e mostrar que geografia e narrativas de viagem empregam um tipo de discurso que sustenta ideologias dominantes. Examinamos o arcabouço conceitual dessas instituições científicas, cuja aparente objetividade e inocência embaçam os conceitos hegemônicos nos quais seus discursos são fundados. Sugerimos que seus sistemas de pensamento são formados pelo contexto social que "polui" suas representações.
REPRESENTAÇÃO DISCURSIVA NO AMBIENTE ECOLINGUÍSTICO NA FRONTEIRA BRASIL/VENEZUELA
Authors: Silva Maria Ivone Alves da
Published: March 2019

A configuração das regiões fronteiriças no Continente Americano surge a partir das necessidades europeias por novos produtos e matérias primas. Remontando ao passado histórico, verifica-se existir uma demanda real pela realização de estudos e pesquisas voltadas para a compreensão do ambiente linguístico caracterizando os contatos de povos nos aspectos que envolvem a língua em relação ao ambiente natural e sócio-histórico, como no caso da fronteira Brasil/Venezuela. Uma das preocupações pertinentes que se impõe à reflexão neste trabalho é se a situação de contato linguístico influi na conformação do ambiente de fronteira Brasil/Venezuela determinando uma relação de proximidade, cuja intensidade é condicionada pelos vínculos relacionais que se estabelecem entre os povos. A par disto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo caracterizar a situação de contato de povos no ecossistema linguístico Brasil/Venezuela, por meio do reconhecimento da natureza dos fatores que influenciam no resultado das situações de contato, fundamentando-se nos elementos da Ecolinguística, em conformidade com Couto (2007, 2009). Os sujeitos são quatro “moradores da fronteira” Pacaraima-Brasil/Santa Elena de Uairén-Venezuela. Considerando-se que as representações discursivas estão repletas de enunciados que podem expressar os mais variados tipos de sentimentos, e partindo-se do princípio de que o discurso do sujeito traz consigo fragmentos dessa realidade, é possível a visualização dos diversos níveis de interação que ocorrem entre os sujeitos constituídos nessa fronteira. É possível afirmar também que se constitui aí um único ecossistema que se influencia mutuamente cujos povos se atendem de forma recíproca, se comunicando através das línguas características do lugar e que, por princípio, poderia ser denominado de ecossistema linguístico “provisional”.
A ETNOTERMINOLOGIA DA LÍNGUA MUNDURUKÚ- TUPÍ E AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA ECOLINGUÍSTICA
Authors: Costa Nathalia M. P. , Gomes Dioney M.
Published: March 2019

A etnoterminologia estuda os termos encontrados nos discursos de especialidade de uma comunidade autóctone). Em cada contexto étnico, haverá diferentes termos (etnotermos), cultural comunitariamente variável. Por exemplo, a concepção do termo “alma” na cultura grecoromana é diferente da forma como ele é concebido na maioria das culturas orientais e indígenas. Para postular uma etnoterminologia a partir do estudo de comunidades autóctones, é preciso reconhecer que elas são detentoras de conhecimentos especializados, presentes em um discurso de especialidade. Desde 2009, pesquisamos os etnotermos do rico sistema de cura e cuidado do povo Mundurukú, fortemente atrelados ao meio ambiente. Além da fundamentação teórica e metodológica dos dois campos que compõem a Etnoterminologia, que são a Etnolinguística e a Terminologia, recentemente começamos a considerar a Ecolinguística, posto que ela contempla as relações entre língua e meio ambiente, compreendendo a língua como componente de um ecossistema, entendido este como o produto da relação Território (T) + Povo (P) + Língua (L). Como o Território é determinante na construção do conhecimento especializado dos pajés, uma vez que é o seu meio de atuação científica torna-se um componente necessário na análise linguística. Não há dúvidas de que os etnotermos empregados nessa medicina sofrem influência direta dos recursos disponíveis. Assim, perdas ambientais e territoriais implicam perdas linguístico-culturais. Aqui, encontramos uma contribuição da Ecolinguística, que também «(...) luta pela preservação das línguas minoritárias e/ou ameaçadas de extinção» (COUTO, 2007: 41). O construto Léxico da Ecolinguística também passa a integrar o nosso construto Etnotermo e a epistemologia da nossa Etnoterminologia.
Linguagem e direito: uma combinação interdisciplinar?
Authors: Oliveira Fernando
Published: March 2019

A presente pesquisa bibliográfica buscou abranger algumas extensões em que a linguagem e o direito se entrelaçam. Desse modo, pretendeu-se discutir o campo interdisciplinar entre linguagem e direito e sua relação com disciplinas autônomas do direito e da linguística. Para isso, sugeriuse a relação inseparável de disciplinas como a filosofia da linguagem e direito, direito e literatura, direito e semiótica, que despertaram pesquisas pelo mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Grã-Bretanha. Além disso, v explorou-se a retórica, a sociolinguística, a análise do discurso, a linguística forense para desvendar como essas ciências têm construído significados e estabelecido poder na sociedade contemporânea, tendo a linguagem como suporte principal para construir essas relações. Apesar da profícua e instigante relação de ambas as ciências, sugere-se a disseminação desse campo das ciências humanas como sendo de suma importância para os fazeres linguístico e jurídico.
Formas e construções linguísticas no portugués europeu: ferramentes referenciais e género textual
Authors: Correia Clara Nunes , Pereira Susana
Published: March 2019

Neste artigo pretende-se discutir como as formas e construções linguísticas podem contribuir para a definição de géneros textuais, tal como são definidos no âmbito do interacionismo-sociodiscursivo (ISD). É proposta a análise de dois artigos selecionados de uma mesma edição de um jornal português de grande tiragem: um rotulado como 'opinião', e o outro considerado 'comentário' pelos editores do jornal. O cerne da discussão consiste em mostrar como a análise das formas e construções linguísticas, enquanto ferramentas referenciais, podem fornecer evidências para o estudo de géneros textuais. Seguindo as propostas da Teoria Formal Enunciativa (Culioli, 1990, 1999), são convocados para a discussão alguns conceitos teóricos centrais, como pré-construído, domínio nocional ou determinação nominal e verbal.
Multimodalidade na era da transmídia: um estudo do regime semiótico de emissões televisivas postadas no site YouTube
Authors: Costa Rafael
Published: March 2019

As práticas de linguagem em ambientes midiáticos se realizam, crescentemente, sob o impacto da transmídia (JENKINS, 2008), ou trânsito de conteúdos entre mídias. Tal migração acontece incessantemente entre ambientes como a televisão e a internet. Assim, nos questionamos como ocorre a construção de sentidos em gêneros audiovisuais que sofrem mudança de suporte. Apropriamo-nos de reflexões como a de Kress (2010) para identificar o potencial significativo das semioses num corpus composto por três vídeos do site YouTube. A análise se baseia na categoria de metafunção (KRESS; van LEEUWEN, 2006). Observamos que a mudança de suporte ocasiona um reordenamento dessas macrofunções.
