The “Arm’s Length” Principle in Lithuanian Cultural Policy
Authors: Rimkutė Audronė
Published: August 2019

This article analyzes Lithuanian cultural policy, particularly the implementation of the “arm’s length” principle. The first part of the article describes the concept of the principle, gives an overview of its history, and examines its main instrument of implementation—the council for culture. The article compares the activity of similar councils in various countries and describes their most important functions and features. The second part of the article deals with the formation of the “arm’s length” cultural policy model in Lithuania. This model was chosen as the direction for cultural policy reform in the Lithuanian Government’s 1991 program, and was also recommended by the experts during Lithuania’s participation in the Council of Europe program National Cultural Policy Reviews 1996–1998. The process of forming the model lasted until 2013. The article analyzes public discussions about Lithuanian cultural policy, Lithuanian government programs, the main political documents, as well as the stages of the formation process and the causes of its slow progress. The third part deals with the operational problems of two Lithuanian “arm’s length” institutions that were established prior to the Lithuanian Council for Culture. Public comments on these two institutions and their activity reports are analyzed and the main weaknesses of their activity are discerned.

Network Folklore and its Role in the Formation of a Collective Cognitive Space
Authors: Belovodskaja Anastasija
Published: August 2019

The global implementation of information-communicative technologies into every sphere of human activity is being accompanied by the emergence of new forms of communication, le­ading to inevitable changes in the means of both the representation and reception of information. In this respect, the field of interest encompasses research into modern anonymous network creative writing, which, as a result of the technological qualities of the Internet space, produces such texts that require particular skills in both comprehension and reproduction. In turn, the products of network folklore, as they spontaneously spread on the Internet, acquire the status of particular signs of a precedent nature. At the same time, the very nature of anonymous network creative writing—amusing and colloquial—raises the attractiveness of such texts and facilitates their reception, allowing them to be used for manipulative aims. The fact that such network folklore can influence the process of idea-formation in society is predetermined by the fact that, by definition, it is the milieu where collective representations are condensed and transmitted. Thus, network folklore is in the focus of attention not only in folklore studies, but is extremely topical for research in such fields as cognitive science, linguistic-cultural studies, public relations, speech effect, and any others which take interest in the processes of keeping, receiving, and transmitting information.
American Sport and the Sports Heroes of the Roaring Twenties
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Michał
Published: August 2019

The aim of the article is to show the role of sport in American society against the background of a very important—for many reasons—period of great social transformation in the United States, one which visibly gathered pace in the 1920s. The author presents different aspects of popular culture, which was in full bloom on account of the following factors: the joy after World War I, a sense of optimism, the development of the economy and industry, the growth of big cities, and the greater affluence of the citizens. The analysis of that unusual decade corroborates the role of sport and its great power of influence on society. In an age when technology and mass production had robbed experiences and objects of their uniqueness, sports provided some of the unpredictability and drama that people craved when looking for romance and adventure. The reasons for the popularity of sport in the USA are presented, as well as the major sports diciplines and heroes of American sport who, in a time when mass production seemed to be making individuals less significant, met with a favorable response — people clung to the heroic personalities of sports figures. The analysis of the beginnings of professionalism in sport, the beginnings of organized support, and sports broadcasting, leaves no doubt as to the significance of the period. As the article demonstrates, it was a time of rapid and profound transformation in the realm of sport. Every serious examination of phenomena in contemporary American sport—and this is also true in the case of other countries—without a knowledge of the specificity of sport in the 1920s, would be far from perfect.
The True Face of Pre-Colonial Africa in “Things Fall Apart”
Authors: Bekler Ecevit
Published: August 2019

The Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe is known to be one of the most influential African writers and holds an important place in postcolonial studies. His main aim was to reconstructthe wrongly established beliefs, ideas, and thoughts of the Western world regarding Africa. To realize his aim, he made careful selections in his choice of language, which contributed greatly to sharing his observations, ideas, and beliefs with the rest of the world. He wrote his novels in English, believing that doing so would be more powerful in conveying the true face of pre-colonial Africa, rather than in Nigerian, which could not be as effective as the language of the colonizers. Achebe’s complaint was that the history of Africa had mainly been written by white men who did not belong to his continent and who would not judge life there fairly. With his novels, he changed the prejudices of those who had never been to Africa, and he managed to convert the negative ideas and feelings caused by the portrayal of his continent to positive ones. Things Fall Apart is a novel whose mission is to portray Africa in a very realistic and authentic environment, contrary to the one-sided point of view of the colonizers. The novel presents us, in very authentic language, with many details about the customs, rituals, daily life practices, ceremonies, beliefs, and even jokes of the African Igbos. Chinua Achebe thus realizes his aim in revealing that African tribes, although regarded as having a primitive life and being very far from civilization, in fact had their own life with traditions and a culture specific to themselves.
Racial and Ethnic Differences Over Time in Outcomes of Infants Born Less Than 30 Weeks’ Gestation
Authors: Boghossian Nansi S. , Geraci Marco , Lorch Scott A. , Phibbs Ciaran S. , Edwards Erika M. , Horbar Jeffrey D.
Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVES:

To examine changes in care practices over time by race and ethnicity and whether the decrease in hospital mortality and severe morbidities has benefited infants of minority over infants of white mothers.

METHODS:

Infants 22 to 29 weeks’ gestation born between January 2006 and December 2017 at a Vermont Oxford Network center in the United States were studied. We examined mortality and morbidity rate differences and 95% confidence intervals for African American and Hispanic versus white infants by birth year. We tested temporal differences in mortality and morbidity rates between white and African American or Hispanic infants using a likelihood ratio test on nested binomial regression models.

RESULTS:

Disparities for certain care practices such as antenatal corticosteroids and for some in-hospital outcomes have narrowed over time for minority infants. Compared with white infants, African American infants had a faster decline for mortality, hypothermia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and late-onset sepsis, whereas Hispanic infants had a faster decline for mortality, respiratory distress syndrome, and pneumothorax. Other morbidities showed a constant rate difference between African American and Hispanic versus white infants over time. Despite the improvements, outcomes including hypothermia, mortality, necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis, and severe intraventricular hemorrhage remained elevated by the end of the study period, especially among African American infants.

CONCLUSIONS:

Racial and ethnic disparities in vital care practices and certain outcomes have decreased. That the quality deficit among minority infants occurred for several care practice measures and potentially modifiable outcomes suggests a critical role for quality improvement initiatives tailored for minority-serving hospitals.
Determinantes de la innovación social en las fundaciones de cuarta generación de Barranquilla, Colombia
Authors: Santamaria Ramos Jonker , Madariaga Orozco Camilo Alberto
Published: August 2019

Este artículo busca establecer los factores determinantes de la Innovación Social (IS) en las Fundaciones de Cuarta Generación (FCG) de Barranquilla, Colombia. Para efectos de esta investigación, se propone indagar sobre la incidencia de cuatro factores específicos: 1) capacidad de financiamiento, 2) capacidad técnico-científica, 3) apropiación social del conocimiento y 4) articulación interinstitucional, sobre el número de iniciativas desarrolladas por las FCG durante el 2016, a través de un modelo lineal de regresión múltiple. Los resultados arrojaron una mayor influencia del factor de apropiación social, consolidando la importancia de la articulación del conocimiento tácito y explícito en el proceso de identificación conjunta de problemáticas y construcción colectiva de iniciativas de IS dentro de las organizaciones, seguido del factor de financiamiento que muestra la importancia de una gestión adecuada de los recursos y la diversidad de las fuentes de financiación y, por último, la capacidad técnico-científica, en la que se conjugan los recursos físicos y humanos para el desarrollo de este tipo de iniciativas. Lo anterior evidencia la importancia de la vinculación de las FCG con la comunidad para la promoción de innovaciones sociales en Barranquilla.

Authors: I. Diveev Askhat , Ibadulla Sabit
Published: August 2019

This paper considers evolutionary methods of symbolic regression for the creation of artificial intelligence of robotic systems. Methods of symbolic regression are reviewed and the features of their application to the solution of the problem of synthesis of control of robotic systems are indicated. The measure of the complexity of artificial intelligence is determined and the advantage of using the principle of small variations of the basic solution is shown, while creating intelligent control systems. A method of variational genetic programming is described and an example of its use for the synthesis of intellectual control is given.
ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM WASTES BY THERMAL GASIFICATION PROCESSES
Authors: Brito Paulo
Published: August 2019

The sustainable energy will play a key role in the future of the planet, not only because in 20 years Biomass is expected to deliver around 30% of total energy consumption, but also because BioEnergy, produced mainly through combustion and gasification of agro-industrial waste, woody materials and forest crops, is expected to be fundamental for sustainable energy production. Problems related to the emissions of greenhouse gases, lack of fossil natural resources and the increasing price of fuels have progressively encouraged research and adoption of new technological strategies for energy production from renewable sources and application of waste-to-energy (WTE) concepts. Syngas obtained from gasification of biomass and industrial wastes constitutes an interesting resource for energy generation because it has lower impacts for the environment compared to traditional technologies and allows for the valorisation of waste residues as feedstock. This work presents the scope, potential and technologies related to the use of biomass resources with a focus on thermal gasification of wastes.
Behaviour of discrete piles used to stabilise a tree-covered railway embankment
Authors: Smethurst Joel A. , Bicocchi Nicola , Powrie William , O'Brien Anthony S.
Published: August 2019

Many clay railway embankments in the UK are well over 100 years old, and now suffer from a range of stability and serviceability problems. A common means of remediating earthworks that have either suffered, or are assessed as being at risk of, deep-seated slope failure is to install a row of discrete piles along the mid-slope. This paper presents field data from a 9 m high, pile-stabilised embankment at Mill Hill, north London. Initial pore water pressure measurements had shown that the trees present on the earthwork maintained low pore water pressures during winter; thus the trees were left in place after piling to aid stability. The piles initially bent upslope, as a result of inward shrinkage of the embankment over a period of dry weather, before then being loaded by shallower downslope movements of the clay. Later cycles of seasonal movement caused a small but gradual ratcheting upward of pile bending moments. The largest bending moments measured over 6 years of monitoring were those resulting from the initial inward shrinkage of embankment, which reached about 25% of the design capacity of the piles. At the end of the monitoring period, the measured bending moments resulting from shallower downslope ground movements were about 20% of the pile design capacity.
The role of the teacher and the blended-learning method
Authors: Bartal Orsolya
Published: August 2019

In our digital and globalized world it is beyond dispute that we, as teachers, need to renew ourselves both professionally and methodologically from time to time. According to Kristóf Nyíri (academic professional MTA) it is reflected – even in 2018 – on the one hand that in the konwledge society life-long learning (LLL) is compulsory and educating people besides working at the same time, and on the other hand the Internet is supposed to be the usual and natural way of everyday orientation and administration/communication (Nyíri, 2003). The teacher would like to join the new society of knowledge even during the lessons or outside of it as the interferer of science, art, languages etc. In the latest decades the role of teachers (at all levels of education) has been going on tremendous changes parallel with the institution of Hungarian education. The roles had to adjust to these changes and expectations. In my study I would like to highlight the role/s of teachers while using blended/mixed-learning method in-, and outside the classroom especially in university eductaion focusing on language teaching.
Assessment and feedback as a factor of teachers’ wellbeing
Authors: Hercz Mária , Pozsonyi Ferenc
Published: August 2019

The present paper focuses on the significance of formative assessment as a factor of teachers’ well-being and professional development. A research using mixed strategy is published: 145 primary school teachers were surveyed with a questionnaire and 32 of them were interviewed in order to investigate what teachers think of their assessment and how their assessment affects their well-being. Results clarify that teachers prefer peer-assessment and miss formative assessment for work given on a regular basis, furthermore feedback given by qualifying persons and leaders has a negative impact as they question the reality and professionalism of its content.
A századforduló vizuális oktatásának párhuzamai a korabeli művészeti tendenciákkal
Authors: Balla Gergely
Published: August 2019

Apart from exploring amateur photography of the early 20th century this current paper also studies contemporary visual communication and education of visual arts. It examines the articles of Magyar Pedagógia (Hungarian Pedagogy) professional journal from the perspective of contemporary art movements. Teachers of visual arts raised questions in the journal that were subsequently discussed at the national conference of visual art teachers, prompting sharp debates between supporters of progressive and traditional methodology. In 1904 the abovementioned journal published the disputes, thus we learned about the official standpoint and got a glimpse of more progressive tendencies as well.

The research of health condition and health behavior of Educators working in Early Childhood Education has been a neglected area until recently. However, because of their being role models, the exploration of this field is of high priority. During our cross-sectional, quantitative research 1,010 kindergarten teachers, infant educators, nurses and teaching assistants were examined. According to our findings we can see that the health behavior of the participating teachers is more positive than the population as a whole. On the other hand, a relatively large proportion of them suffer from chronic diseases like back-, waist- and other joint problems, which can be related to the higher physical strain caused by their working environment.
Csoportdolgozat a tanulók szemszögéből

Published: August 2019

We live in the era of instant assessment of nearly everything. In our case at the end of a particular period of a project. The institute, the teachers the methods and our students are being evaluated constantly. The performance of the students or a certain topic are closed by a summative (qualifying) evaluation. It is expected by the policy of our school and the syllabus. Moreover, other methods are also acceptable during the lessons, such as formative (developing), diagnostic (situational) and summative (qualifying) ones. However, only the summative grade is recorded in the register. This can be crucial because the grades have enormous impact on the admission to the universities. This means that the methods used in the lessons should be co-ordinated with the ways the tests are composed.The aim of this paper is to examine this process from the students’ point of view. This was accomplished in two projects.

Published: August 2019

Na teoria econômica, a partir dos postulados da Lei do preço Único, acredita-se que há transmissão de preços entre mercados, parte-se do princípio que no longo prazo estes preços tendem a convergir para um único preço. Para tanto, este estudo busca testar a hipótese de Assimetria de Transmissão de Preços (ATP) em função dos mercados nacional e internacional de óleo bruto de soja para o produtor rural de soja em grão brasileiro. Assim, recorre-se à econometria de séries temporais, mais especificamente, ao Modelo Vetorial de Correção de Erros para se alcançar as estimativas da ATP. Entre os principais resultados, destacam-se a cointegração entre os processos estudados, a presença de ATP para as variações do preço de óleo bruto de soja no mercado internacional e nacional, em relação ao preço pago ao produtor de soja brasileiro. Além disto, foi possível constatar, também, a existência de ATP em diferentes versões como a espacial, vertical e de curto e longo prazo, para os mercados estudados. Os resultados encontrados podem auxiliar o produtor de soja brasileiro, principalmente na tomada de decisão em função do processo de transmissão de preços detectado. O mesmo sofre influências assimétricas de preços que podem derivar da ocorrência de uso de poder de mercado.

Published: August 2019

The cultivation of coffee plants produces leaf-waste which is only currently used for feed and fertilizer. Traditionally coffee leaves tea could be processed as “kopi kawa”, a popular tea-like beverage in West Sumatera, Indonesia. This research was aimed at characterizing the sensory profile of beverage made from Ampelgading Robusta coffee leaves by considering different leaves age, processing method, and serving temperature applying the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) method involving 111 consumer respondents. It was observed that the coffee leaves tea were sensorially dominated by green aroma and flavor, bitter taste, and astringent mouth-feel. The leaves age significantly affected 6 sensory attributes, i.e. sweet taste, sour taste, bitter taste, sweet flavor, earthy flavor, and woody flavor. Meanwhile the processing method (oxidized and non-oxidized pre-treatment) as well as serving temperature had no significant effect on the sensory perception of consumer although significant influences were recorded on the changing of total phenolic content, caffeine content, pH, and color parameters. As conclusion, sensory characteristic of Ampelgading robusta coffee leave tea was strongly affected by the age of leaf, regardless the pre-treatment process and serving temperature.

Published: August 2019

A Água Residuária do Café (ARC) pode causar sérios impactos ambientais se for lançada no meio sem tratamento prévio. Assim, o tratamento eletrolítico surge como uma técnica bastante promissora nesse procedimento. Por esse motivo, objetivou-se nesse estudo avaliar a taxa de remoção dos poluentes e o custo do tratamento por essa técnica com base nas variáveis turbidez, sólidos totais e Demanda Química de Oxigênio (DQO) e no comportamento do pH e da condutividade elétrica. Utilizou-se uma célula eletrolítica com as dimensões internas de 8,15 de largura, 13,8 cm de comprimento e 8,9 cm de profundidade, possuindo um volume de 1000 cm3. Placas de alumínio com área de 0,02054 m² foram empregadas em uma configuração monopolar em paralelo. Realizaram-se ensaios em batelada variando a distância de placas, densidade de corrente e intervalos de coleta do efluente do reator entre 60 a 1440 segundos para a água residuária com e sem reúso, respectivamente. Por fim, constatou-se que os poluentes apresentam taxas e custos de remoção específicos, estando relacionados à corrente aplicada, distância de placas, eficiência de remoção, tempo de detenção hidráulico e concentração de outros componentes.

Published: August 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade da água dos canais do perímetro irrigado Senador Nilo Coelho para uso na agricultura. As coletas foram realizadas em 12 pontos ao longo do canal principal e secundários, durante o período seco do ano de 2013 e chuvoso em 2014. As análises realizadas foram pH, condutividade elétrica, sódio, sólidos totais dissolvidos, dureza, cálcio, magnésio, ferro, turbidez, cloreto, sulfato, bicarbonato, coliformes totais e fecais. Identificou-se certa limitação em relação aos valores de pH e Fe, em relação à conservação dos equipamentos de irrigação, pois poderá acarretar incrustação no sistema de irrigação. Constatou-se ainda que os baixos níveis de condutividade elétrica da água, observados durante o período de estudo, podem causar possíveis problemas de adensamento do solo e, consequentemente, dificuldade de infiltração da água. Em relação às análises de coliformes totais e fecais, detectou-se a presença em todos os pontos de coleta nas quatro campanhas, com isso necessitam de uma maior atenção para a irrigação das hortaliças, pois são vegetais consumidos crus. Em relação aos critérios de salinidade e sodicidade, a água em toda extensão do canal de irrigação nos períodos seco e chuvoso é de boa qualidade para fins de irrigação.

Foram avaliados os principais indicadores zootécnicos, os componentes do custo de produção e os principais indicadores econômicos em fazendas produtoras de leite da região Norte de Minas Gerais, com diferentes estratos de tamanho. A discretização dos dados foi realizada pelo método não supervisionado de acordo com o número total de vacas no rebanho. Foram determinados os coeficientes de correlação linear entre os indicadores zootécnicos, os indicadores econômicos e os custos de produção, assim como parâmetros de regressão das variáveis com correlação significativa com a rentabilidade. Quanto à correlação os indicadores zootécnicos com maior influência nos custos unitários de produção foram a porcentagem de vacas em lactação, o número médio de dias em lactação, a produtividade média do rebanho, a eficiência de utilização da mão de obra e a produtividade por área. Somente o intervalo de partos apresentou correlação significativa com as margens bruta e líquida por litro de leite virtual. A porcentagem de vacas em lactação, a produtividade de animais em lactação e a produtividade por área apresentaram maior coeficiente de correlação com a rentabilidade. Na regressão, os indicadores zootécnicos porcentagem de vacas em lactação e a produtividade de vacas em lactação apresentaram valores negativos para o ponto de intercepto da variável dependente rentabilidade. Conclui-se que estratos com maior produtividade apresentaram menor custo operacional e menor margem líquida, o que não influenciou a obtenção de valores consideráveis de rentabilidade.
Contribuições das abordagens semasiológica e onomasiológica para o estudo da temporalidade verbal: uma análise do passado em espanhol / Contributions of Semasiological and Onomasiological Approaches to the Study of Verbal Temporality: an Analysis of the Past Tense in Spanish
Authors: Araujo Leandro Silveira de
Published: August 2019

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar e questionar o tratamento descritivo dado aos tempos verbais da língua espanhola, com especial atenção às formas compostas (he estado) e simples (estuve) do pretérito perfecto. Para tanto, afirma-se que uma análise que promova um conhecimento mais compatível com o uso efetivo da língua deve surgir de uma abordagem semasiológica – que investiga as potencialidades funcionais de dada forma – e ser complementada por uma análise onomasiológica – que investiga as construções vinculadas a dado domínio funcional. Por meio desse duplo eixo investigativo é possível conhecer não apenas o funcionamento de uma forma, mas avaliar o tipo de interação que mantém com outras construções na língua. Quando se trata do pretérito perfecto, a abordagem semasiológica permite o conhecimento dos diferentes usos das formas simples e composta e identificar possíveis pontos de aproximação funcional (antepresente e passado absoluto). Contudo é apenas a análise onomasiológica que revela a dimensão da aproximação dessas formas, posto que nos contextos temporais de antepresente e passado absoluto uma e/ou outra forma verbal pode(m) surgir, com diferentes proporções, conforme a variedade da língua investigada.Palavras-chave: gramaticografia; tempo verbal; pretérito perfecto; língua espanhola.Abstract: This paper evaluates and questions the descriptive treatment given to the tenses of Spanish, with special attention to the compound (he estado) and simple (estuve) forms of the pretérito perfecto. For this purpose, it is affirmed that an analysis that fosters some knowledge that is more compatible with the effective use of the language must arise from a semasiological approach – which investigates the functional potentialities of a linguistic form – and be complemented by an onomasiological analysis – which investigates the constructions related to a functional domain. Through this double investigative axis, it is possible to know the functioning of a form and to evaluate the type of interaction that it maintains with other constructions in the language. When it comes to the pretérito perfecto, the semasiological approach shows the different uses of the simple and compound forms and identifies possible points of functional approximation (ante-present and absolute past). However, it is only the onomasiological analysis that reveals the dimension of the approximation of these forms, since in the temporal contexts of ante-present and absolute past one or another verbal form may occur in different proportions according to the variety of the language investigated.Keywords: gramaticography; tense; pretérito perfecto; Spanish.
Address and Impoliteness in Online Polylogues / Indelicadeza e tratamento linguístico em polílogos online
Authors: Faria Rita
Published: August 2019

Abstract: This paper examines instances of address in European Portuguese and how these may connect to impoliteness in computer-mediated communication (CMC), namely online polylogues comprised of publicly-available commentaries left on Portuguese online newspapers in response to articles pertaining to the European Union. The paper posits an inclusive notion of address which takes into account the particular features of the medium and finds it to be heavily relational and complex, and resorting to both negotiated and conventional forms. Drawing from previous research on online impoliteness in polylogues, the paper examines impoliteness online and its intersections with address. Its main findings are that impoliteness does not seem to be a paramount communicative goal of participants and that, despite some coherent fit with address, the interaction between both is residual. It is the complexity of online address which conveys the heavily interpersonal, relational character of Portuguese CMC.Keywords: address; impoliteness; CMC; European Portuguese; polylogues.Resumo: O presente artigo visa examinar o tratamento linguístico em polílogos produzidos em português europeu e as suas possíveis conexões com a indelicadeza linguística no âmbito da comunicação mediada por computador (CMC), em particular comentários a artigos relativos à União Europeia publicados nas versões online de jornais portugueses. O artigo propõe uma noção inclusiva de tratamento linguístico que inclua as especificidades do medium, descreve o tratamento linguístico verificado no corpus e conclui que o mesmo é complexo e relacional, e que recorre a formas negociadas na interação, mas igualmente a formas convencionais. Tendo como substrato investigação prévia sobre indelicadeza em polílogos online, procura também examinar-se e descrever o fenómeno da indelicadeza e as suas interseções com o tratamento. Verifica-se que a indelicadeza não é um objetivo comunicativo fundamental dos participantes e que, apesar de alguma coerência com o tratamento linguístico, a interação entre os dois é residual. É a complexidade do tratamento online que demonstra, assim, a índole fortemente interpessoal e relacional da CMC em português europeu.Palavras-chave: tratamento linguístico; indelicadeza; CMC; português europeu; polílogos.
Eis que e vez que como conectivos causais: indícios de gramaticalização / Eis que and vez que as Causal Connectives: Evidences of Grammaticalization
Authors: Silva Renaldo César Bueno da , Viegas Maria do Carmo
Published: August 2019

Resumo: Na análise das expressões eis que e vez que, objetivamos reunir algumas evidências de que, empregadas como conectivos causais, elas se realizam como itens funcionais (COELHO; VITRAL, 2010), sendo provenientes de itens lexicais que atingiram aquele estatuto por meio de processos de gramaticalização (HOPPER; TRAUGOTT, 2003). Nosso procedimento metodológico consistiu em observar algumas alterações semânticas, fonéticas e principalmente morfossintáticas no percurso histórico dessas expressões. Utilizamos o corpus de Davies e Ferreira (2016) e o corpus de textos jurídico-judiciais descrito em Silva (2018), e buscamos ressaltar as peculiaridades decorrentes das alterações por elas sofridas que as distinguem como conectivos causais. Como as alterações se encaixam nos parâmetros de gramaticalização propostos por Lehmann (1982), concluímos que os aspectos analisados constituem indícios de elevado grau de gramaticalização desses itens.Palavras-chave: eis que; vez que; conectivos causais; variação; gramaticalização.Abstract: In the analysis of the expressions eis que and vez que, we aimed to gather some evidence that, when used as causal connectives, they are functional items (COELHO; VITRAL, 2010) which have derived from lexical items and have reached that status through processes of grammaticalization (HOPPER; TRAUGOTT, 2003). Our methodological procedure consisted in observing some semantic, phonetic and mainly morphosyntactic changes through the historical course of these expressions, using the corpus of Davies and Ferreira (2016) and the corpus of judicial texts described in Silva (2018), highlighting the peculiarities arising from the changes that they have suffered, which distinguish them as causal connectives. As the changes fit the parameters of grammaticalization proposed by Lehmann (1982), we conclude that the analyzed aspects are evidence of a strong grammaticalization of these items.Keywords: eis que; vez que; causal connectives; variation; grammaticalization..Keywords: eis que; vez que; causal connectives; variation; grammaticalization.
Aspectos lexicográficos na ordem alfabética de Jerônimo Cardoso / Lexicographic Features in the Alphabetical Order of Jerônimo Cardoso’s Work
Authors: Viaro Mário Eduardo
Published: August 2019

Resumo: Em dicionários do século XVI, a ordem alfabética comumente não é seguida de maneira estrita na ordenação de verbetes. Muitos outros fatores fonéticos, morfológicos e semânticos também são levados em consideração. O primeiro dicionário da língua portuguesa, de Jerônimo Cardoso, não é uma exceção a essa regra. O aspecto aparentemente caótico da ordenação, na verdade, revela decisões teóricas antes do estabelecimento da futura aplicação radical da ordem alfabética e, de modo algum, aponta para falta de conhecimento ou de habilidade do autor. Pretende-se, neste artigo, apresentar alguns critérios empregados por Cardoso e, com isso, contribuir para conhecer não apenas sua erudição, mas também alguns dos pressupostos linguísticos da sua época.Palavras-chave: Jerônimo Cardoso; lexicografia; historiografia da linguística; português quinhentista; ordem alfabética.Abstract: Dictionaries of the sixteenth century are generally not alphabetically ordered in a strict sense. Many other Phonetic, Morphologic and Semantic features are also taken into account. The first dictionary of the Portuguese language, by Jerônimo Cardoso, is not an exception to that rule. The apparently chaotic aspect of its ordering in fact reveals theoretical decisions before the future radical determination of the alphabetical order and there is absolutely no point in interpreting it as author’s lack of knowledge or ability. This paper aims to show some of the criteria used by Cardoso and to contribute to the knowledge not only of his erudition, but also of some of the sixteenth century linguistic presuppositions..Keywords: Jerônimo Cardoso; lexicography; historiography of linguistics; sixteenth century Portuguese language; alphabetical order.
Expressão de mim para mobilizar o sentimento do outro: considerações sobre o ethos discursivo em composições do letrista Nando Reis / Self-Expression to Mobilize the Feeling of the Other: Remarks on the Discursive Ethos in Nando Reis’ Songwriting
Authors: Schwarzbold Elisandra Aguirre da Cruz , Fernandes Ivani Cristina Silva
Published: August 2019

Resumo: The objective of this article is to outline a discursive ethos profile from the meaning effects instituted by linguistic elements in two songs by the Brazilian singer, violinist and songwriter Nando Reis. For this purpose, two of the singer’s musical career albums were selected, being one from his career in the group Titãs and the other from his solo career. Subsequently, one song was randomly selected from each album and the linguistic mechanisms that possibly enhanced the speaker’s self-image construction were identified and analyzed. Finally, the discursive ethos profile that emerges from linguistic materialities was interpreted. In order to achieve such objective, the theoretical assumptions from the Linguistics of Enunciation were used as basis, mainly from Émile Benveniste’s theory and his definitions of “language”, “enunciation” and “subjectivity”. Moreover, other theoretical branches were adopted for the concept of ethos, from the Discourse Analysis perspective, by Dominique Maingueneau (2005) and debreagem, from Semiotics, by Greimas e Courtés (2008). To support the methodological parameter, Carlo Guinzburg’s (1989) indiciary paradigm was used. Lastly, enunciative matters were reflected upon, from the analysis of meaning production instituted by linguistic elements in the analyzed songs.Palavras-chave: ethos discursivo; enunciação; produção de sentidos.Abstract: The objective of this article is to outline a discursive ethos profile from the meaning effects instituted by linguistic elements in two songs by the Brazilian singer, violinist and songwriter Nando Reis.

El esfuerzo en responsabilidad social y su comunicación en Internet: el caso de las empresas del foro de marcas renombradas españolas
Authors: Aguirre García María Soledad , Aldamiz-Echevarría Covadonga , Baelo Luis María
Published: August 2019

En este trabajo, tras un estudio de la responsabilidad social de la empresa y su relación con la imagen de la misma, se muestran los resultados agregados de un análisis de las páginas web de las 80 empresas que, en marzo de 2008, pertenecían al Foro de Marcas Renombradas españolas. Aspectos destacables del estudio son que en la web de la mayoría de las empresas existen indicios de llevar a cabo acciones de responsabilidad social, y que, de los tres grupos de acciones analizadas: derechos y condiciones laborales, medio ambiente y vinculación con la sociedad, los que más frecuentemente aparecen reflejados son los relacionados con el Medio Ambiente. Asimismo, en los índices analizados, estas empresas están muy por encima del resto de las empresas españolas.
