Psychic vampirism in contemporary psychoanalysis: Issues of pathological identification and sadomasochistic perversion
Authors: Yates Sheena
Published: May 2015

In this article, I consider the use of the metaphorics of vampirism in contemporary psychoanalytic theory. I examine the concept of psychic vampirism as a clinical phenomenon as evinced in two case studies and argue that psychic vampirism includes a sadomasochistic perversion and a specific identification with a narcissistic (m)other that leads to a general manner of identifying that is in itself pathological. Further, I argue that in the psychoanalytic clinical situation a psychic vampiric transference may manifest with either masochism or sadism predominating. I also demonstrate the pertinence of the literary vampire, via Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire (1976), to this clinical development. Finally, I suggest that psychic vampirism is likely to become more salient clinically, given the vampire’s current cultural popularity.
Ambivalenzen der Sichtbarkeit
Authors: Schaffer Johanna
Published: May 2015

Mit dem Topos »Sichtbarkeit« greift dieses Buch eine Denkfigur auf, die in den politischen Debatten um die Anerkennung marginalisierter Gruppen eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Wie aber können minorisierte Positionen visuell dargestellt werden, ohne in der Form ihrer Darstellung Minorisierung zu wiederholen? An dieser Schnittstelle zwischen ästhetischen, antirassistischen und queer-feministischen Fragestellungen setzt das Buch mit Mitteln der Visual-Culture-Forschung an. Dabei arbeitet es heraus, dass und wie sich Hegemonie grundlegend über ästhetische Formen herstellt. Die Frage der Sichtbarkeit wird somit in das Feld der visuellen Ästhetik und der Bilder rückübersetzt, um deren politische Bedeutung zu unterstreichen. Zudem werden analytische Begriffe und Figuren als Instrumentarien gegen Minorisierungen im visuellen Feld bereitgestellt.
Gefährliche Körper an gefährlichen Orten
Authors: Schmincke Imke
Published: May 2015

Wie werden Körper gefährlich? Dieser Frage liegt die These zugrunde, dass soziale Prozesse der In- und Exklusion, der Normalisierung und Marginalisierung von Menschen und Gruppen immer auch eine körperliche Dimension haben. Das Buch verknüpft erstmals die für die Soziologie seit längerem virulente Frage nach der Bedeutung des Körperlichen mit Theorien zu sozialer Ungleichheit, zu Stadt und Raum sowie zur Sicherheitsgesellschaft und illustriert diese auch empirisch an einem innerstädtischen »gefährlichen Ort«. Auf diesem Wege wird eine Öffnung der körperlichen Dimension des Sozialen für eine kritische Gesellschaftstheorie erreicht.
Cross-Validation of Customer and Employee Signals and Firm Valuation
Authors: Groening Christopher , Mittal Vikas , “Anthea” Zhang Yan
Published: May 2015

Previous studies have shown that a firm needs to rely on its customers and employees to achieve superior performance. In this study, the authors draw on signaling theory to develop and empirically test a cross-validation argument. They argue that how a firm treats one stakeholder group will be interpreted by investors in conjunction with how the firm treats another stakeholder group. Investors use consistency in stakeholder group treatment as a signal of complementarity in a firm's investments, which can improve the likelihood of competitive advantage. Specifically, the authors propose that a firm's achievements (lapses) directed at customers have a stronger positive (negative) impact on investors’ valuation of the firm if they are validated by the firm's achievements (lapses) directed at employees, and vice versa. Applying a multilevel model to a large sample of firms across various industries between 1994 and 2010, the authors find evidence to support these arguments. In addition, they find that cross-validation is more crucial for firms with a narrow than a broad business scope.

The continuous synthesis and application of graphene supported palladium nanoparticles: a highly effective catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions
Authors: Brinkley Kendra W. , Burkholder Michael , Siamaki Ali R. , Belecki Katherine , Gupton B. Frank
Published: May 2015

An efficient, sustainable, and continuous method for the preparation of graphene supported palladium nanoparticles (Pd/G) has been developed using microwave irradiation as a heating source for the metal deposition process. The Pd/G produced from this method was effective in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with a broad range of substrates. When incorporated into a packed bed flow reactor, this ligand free catalyst system continued to demonstrate high reaction conversions with limited catalyst leaching in the reaction mixture (347 ppb palladium).
Regularity theorems for harmonic functions
Authors: Ganenkova Ekaterina G. , Starkov Victor V.
Published: May 2015

The regularity theorem is a result stating that functions which have extremal growth or decrease in the given class display a regular behaviour. Such theorems for linearly invariant families of analytic functions are well known. We prove regularity theorems for some classes of harmonic functions. Many presented statements are new even in the analytic case.
Assessing Britain’s Role in Afghanistan
Authors: Joshi Shashank
Published: May 2015

This article assesses Britain's contemporary relationship with Afghanistan, its goals and interests there, and its possible post-2014 role. It is argued that Britain might continue to play a limited but non-negligible military, intelligence, fiscal, and diplomatic role, even as British policymakers are increasingly bound by fiscal and domestic political constraints.

Published: May 2015

Objective

The role of the incretin hormones in the pathophysiology of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is unclear.

Design

We studied the postprandial plasma responses of glucagon, incretin hormones (glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)) and dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP4) enzymatic activity in patients with glucokinase (GCK) diabetes (MODY2) and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1A) diabetes (MODY3) as well as in matched healthy individuals (CTRLs).

Subjects and methods

Ten patients with MODY2 (mean age±s.e.m.43±5 years; BMI 24±2 kg/m2; fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 7.1±0.3 mmol/l: HbA1c 6.6±0.2%), ten patients with MODY3 (age 31±3 years; BMI 24±1 kg/m2; FPG 8.9±0.8 mmol/l; HbA1c 7.0±0.3%) and ten CTRLs (age 40±5 years; BMI 24±1 kg/m2; FPG 5.1±0.1 mmol/l; HbA1c 5.3±0.1%) were examined with a liquid test meal.

Results

All of the groups exhibited similar baseline values of glucagon (MODY2: 7±1 pmol/l; MODY3: 6±1 pmol/l; CTRLs: 8±2 pmol/l,P=0.787), but patients with MODY3 exhibited postprandial hyperglucagonaemia (area under the curve (AUC) 838±108 min×pmol/l) as compared to CTRLs (182±176 min×pmol/l,P=0.005) and tended to have a greater response than did patients with MODY2 (410±154 min×pmol/l,P=0.063). Similar peak concentrations and AUCs for plasma GIP and plasma GLP1 were observed across the groups. Increased fasting DPP4 activity was seen in patients with MODY3 (17.7±1.2 mU/ml) vs CTRLs (13.6±0.8 mU/ml,P=0.011), but the amount of activity was similar to that in patients with MODY2 (15.0±0.7 mU/ml,P=0.133).

Conclusion

The pathophysiology of MODY3 includes exaggerated postprandial glucagon responses and increased fasting DPP4 enzymatic activity but normal postprandial incretin responses both in patients with MODY2 and in patients with MODY3.
Stress and Phase Engineered ZrO2/Ge for High-k Dielectric Applications
Authors: Achari Narayan K. V. L.V. , Banerjee Amiya , Raghavan Srinivasan
Published: May 2015

ZrO2/Ge is potential high-k dielectric candidate to replace silicon based devices. Controlling stress in zirconia film and stabilizing high dielectric constant phase is crucial for high-k application. A precise control of stress and phase selectivity in high-k thin films is demonstrated. Thin films of ZrO2 were grown by reactive sputter deposition. Wide range of growth stress in thin films from -0.3 to -2.8 GPa can be tuned by growth rate control. Adatom incorporation into grain boundary was the dominant source of observed stress. Phase selectivity in zirconia was achieved by tuning growth parameters.

As parasitoses intestinais representam um agravo de amplitude mundial, sendo indicador de status socioeconômico. Sua transmissão feco-oral reforça a necessidade de ampliação de serviços de saneamento básico. O estudo tem caráter retrospectivo, descritivo e exploratório, com dados secundários, objetiva apresentar a frequência parasitária em usuários do Serviço Único de Saúde (SUS), em Limoeiro do Norte – CE, entre janeiro de 2008 e dezembro de 2009. Os exames foram realizados por meio da técnica de sedimentação espontânea de fezes (HPJ, 1934). Os dados foram organizados e analisados por meio de estatística descritiva, através dos testes de Qui-quadrado, teste t para amostras independentes, teste de Mann-Whitney e correlçao de Pearson, ambos com significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Foram analisadas 1266 amostras, onde 295 (23,3%) foram positivas para algum parasita. Endolimax nana, Entamoeba coli e Giardia lamblia foram os parasitas mais frequentes. O sexo masculino foi o mais acometido. Houve maior prevalência em adultos (p < 0,05). Verificou-se diferença estatística quanto à prevalência entre as Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBSs) e entre a sazonalidade durante os anos (p < 0,05). A relação entre a prevalência e médias pluviométricas durante os meses apresentou correlação muito baixa (r = -0,20) e sem significância estatística. Mesmo com a alta prevalência, não pode desconsiderar possível prevalência subestimada.

Published: May 2015

Inula aucheriana DC is a member of the family Asteraceae which is known to produce cytotoxic secondary metabolites noted as sesquiterpene lactones. In the present study, sesquiterpene lactones inuchinenolide B, 6-deoxychamissonolide (stevin) and 14-acetoxy-1β,5α,7αH-4β-hydroxy-guai-9(10),11(13)-dien-12,8α-olide were isolated from I. aucheriana. Inuchinenolide B and 14-acetoxy-1β,5α,7αH-4β-hydroxy-guai-9(10),11(13)-dien-12,8α-olide were further evaluated by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay to demonstrate cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of (56.6, 19.0), (39.0, 11.8), and (55.7, 15.3) μg/mL against HepG-2, MCF-7 and A-549 cells, respectively. The cytotoxic activity of the two evaluated sesquiterpene lactones partly explains the cytotoxic activity that was previously observed for the extracts of Inula aucheriana. The isolated compounds could be further investigated in cancer research studies.

Authors: Guerreiro Ramon Barbalho , Bittencourt Lia , Reis Rodolfo Casimiro , Rotta José Marcus , Tufik Sérgio , Botelho Ricardo Vieira
Published: May 2015

Objective Patients with craniocervical junction malformations (CCJM) tend to suffer more frequently from sleep respiratory disturbances, which are more frequent and severe in patients with basilar invagination. Here we evaluate if patients with CCJM and sleep respiratory disorders (SRD) present smaller airway dimensions than patients without SRD. Method Patients with CCCM with and without sleep respiratory disturbances were evaluated clinically by Bindal's score, modified Mallampati classification, full-night polysomnography and upper airway cone beam tomography. Results Eleven patients had sleep respiratory disorders (SRD), and nine patients performed control group without SRD. CCJM patients with SRD were predominantly female, older, had higher BMI, were more likely to have Mallampati grades 3 and 4 and had statistically significant smaller anteroposterior diameter of the upper airway than patients without SRD. Conclusion Patients with CCJM and sleep respiratory disturbances have higher BMI, higher Mallampati score and smaller anterior posterior diameter of the upper airway.

Published: May 2015

RESUMOEste trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a influência do estádio de maturação na qualidade de goiabas ‘Kumagai’ e ‘Paluma’. Frutos sadios das duas cultivares colhidos em cinco estádios de maturação, definidos com base na coloração da casca e armazenados sob condição de ambiente (25±1ºC e 85±5% UR), foram avaliados na ocasião da colheita e após atingirem completo amadurecimento quanto à vida útil, coloração da casca, firmeza da polpa, teores de ácido ascórbico, sólidos solúveis SS) e acidez titulável (AT), assim como quanto à relação SS/AT e ao sabor. Os resultados indicaram que goiabas da cv. Kumagai apresentam maior vida útil (6,8 dias, em média) que as ‘Paluma’ (3,2 dias, em média) e que este período é influenciado pelo estádio de maturação.Independentemente da cultivar, goiabas colhidas nos estádios iniciais de maturação mantiveram-se mais ácidas (0,71%) que as colhidas mais tardiamente (0,57%), com o agravante de que, na cv. Kumagai, a colheita no estádio 1 resultou em retenção da cor verde da casca. A colheita das goiabas nos estádios iniciais de amadurecimento, apesar de prolongar o período de conservação, implica frutos de qualidade inferior. Por outro lado, a colheita em estádios de maturação mais avançados torna indispensável a implementação de técnicas de conservação adequadas às características intrínsecas de cada cultivar, de modo a garantir a qualidade da fruta oferecida ao consumidor.

RESUMOA pitaia-rosa de polpa vermelha é uma cactácea com potencial para exploração econômica, devido aos seus componentes nutricionais e ao alto valor comercial; no entanto, poucas são as pesquisas quanto a suas características pós-colheita. O objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar física, química e nutricionalmente pitaias-rosas de polpa vermelha. Frutos colhidos totalmente maduros foram sanitizados, selecionados e divididos em grupos de quatro frutos por repetição, constituindo um total de 30 amostras. Em seguida, as amostras foram submetidas às seguintes avaliações: comprimento, diâmetro, espessura de casca, massa fresca, massa de casca e polpa, teor de umidade, firmeza da casca, sólidos solúveis, pH, acidez titulável, açúcares e fibra bruta, cromaticidade, ângulo hue e luminosidade da casca e da polpa, e o teor de nutrientes. Para os dados obtidos, foram determinados a média, o valor mínimo e máximo, desvio-padrão e o coeficiente de variação. A fruta apresentou valores elevados de conteúdo de água, teor de fibras e dos nutrientes nitrogênio, potássio, cálcio, ferro, manganês e zinco. Quanto ao teor de sólidos solúveis, a média observada foi de 13,14° Brix, e para acidez titulável,0,29 mg de ác. málico 100-1 mL de suco. Verificaram-se para os açúcares valores de 5,56; 8,79 e 3,07 %, respectivamente, para os açúcares redutores, totais e não redutores. Quanto à coloração, os frutos apresentaram valores maiores para luminosidade e cromaticidade da casca e ângulo Hue da polpa. A pitaia-rosa de polpa vermelha (Hylocereus polyrhizus) apresenta características físicas, químicas e nutricionais interessantes para o consumo in natura.

Este estudo foi realizado para analisar a qualidade e o preço de maçãs no mercado varejista brasileiro. Amostras de maçãs cv. Gala, Fuji e Red Delicious foram coletadas mensalmente entre março de 2010 e janeiro de 2011, em 20 supermercados de Curitiba, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro e Recife. Quatro supermercados de cada cidade foram previamente selecionados e definidos como locais de amostragem das maçãs ao longo dos 11 meses. A Categoria (escala 1 para máxima qualidade a 3 para mínima qualidade) das maçãs foi determinada pela análise da qualidade externa (coloração, severidade de danos fisiológicos, mecânicos, por fungos, insetos, granizo, etc.) de acordo com normas legais do MAPA. A categoria média das maçãs expostas nos supermercados aumentou ao longo do ano de 1,6 a 2,0 para ‘Gala’, de 1,8 a 2,4 para ‘Fuji’ e de 1,4 a 1,8 para ‘Red Delicious’. A perda da qualidade dos frutos no período, entre as datas de empacotamento e de exposição aos consumidores, foi evidente em todos os meses e cultivares. A depreciada qualidade externa das maçãs expostas nos supermercados foi associada a altas incidências de danos mecânicos e podridões, que variaram de 13 a 50% e 1 a 20%, respectivamente, dependendo da cultivar e do mês de análise. A firmeza da polpa das maçãs diminuiu de março a julho para níveis inferiores a 12 lb e então tendeu a aumentar a patamares de aproximadamente 14 a 15 lb de novembro a janeiro, dependendo da cultivar. Variações dos preços e da qualidade ao longo do ano indicaram que o preço das maçãs nas gôndolas dos mercados é mais influenciado pela sazonalidade ou pressão de oferta que pela qualidade das maçãs. O preço das maçãs variou entre as regiões de comercialização de forma similar para as três cultivares. Dados evidenciam que o tempo médio entre a data de embalagem dos frutos e sua exposição nas gôndolas dos mercados é de 17 e 28 dias para maçãs ‘Gala’ e ‘Fuji’, respectivamente.

RESUMOO objetivo foi avaliar o potencial produtivo de cultivares de morangueiro em região representativa do Alto Jequitinhonha. O experimento foi conduzido na fazenda Mape Frutas Ltda., localizada no município de Datas-MG, em delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com oito cultivares de morangueiro em quatro repetições, para verificar a produção de mudas e de frutos. A contagem da produção de estolões e de mudas foi realizada aos 180 dias após o plantio. A avaliação das variáveis relacionadas à produção de frutos foi feita duas vezes por semana, no período de maio a outubro de 2012. Das cultivares de dias curtos (Festival, Campinas, Toyonoka, Dover, Oso Grande e Camarosa) e dias neutros (Diamante e Aromas), apenas Toyonoka foi a que apresentou menor desempenho para as variáveis. A significativa superioridade das cultivares Camarosa e Festival, para praticamente todas as variáveis avaliadas, permite recomendá-las para regiões com características edafoclimáticas semelhantes às da região onde o experimento foi conduzido. Dentre as cultivares avaliadas, as mais precoces tenderam a apresentar maior desempenho para variáveis relacionadas à produção de frutos.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the combined treatment of ear lobe keloids. METHODS: We studied 46 consecutive patients with 81 ear lobe keloids. Patients underwent local infiltration of triamcinolone acetonide (TCN) at concentrations of 40mg/ml (Group 1), 20 mg/ml (Group 2) and 10mg/ml (Group 3). The volume of TCN infiltrate varied according to the size of the lesion. Treatment consisted of three monthly injections before surgery, excision of keloid in the fourth month and perioperative infiltration, followed by two more leaks TCN within two months. Patients used earrings pressure on the scar after operation for four months. The pressure exerted by earrings in the ear lobe was measured electronically. Post-treatment follow-up of patients was 24 months. RESULTS: TCN at concentrations of 20mg/ml and 40mg/ml were effective for the treatment of keloids, no difference between the groups (p = 0.58). However, patients in which TCN was infiltrated the 10mg/ml had poor involution of keloid and the study of this group was stopped. CONCLUSION: the combination of infiltration TCN month to 20 mg/mL (1.2mg to 2.0mg per mm3 TCN injury), surgical excision and pressure application device is effective for treatment of keloid ear lobe.
Adolescência em Conflito com a Lei: A Intensidade da História de Vida em Ato
Authors: Tomasi Laura Oliveira , Macedo Mônica Medeiros Kother
Published: May 2015

A pesquisa aborda o ato infracional a partir da história de vida de adolescentes em conflito com a lei e dos significados atribuídos por eles aos atos cometidos. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com quatro adolescentes com processo judicial em andamento devido a atos transgressivos. Os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo e interpretados com aportes da Psicanálise. Quatro categorias finais constataram, na história de vida dos jovens, vivências extremas e recorrentes de descuido e violência no encontro com as figuras parentais. A fragilidade de recursos psíquicos dos jovens para atribuir sentido à experiência de serem confrontados com limites e a impossibilidade de experenciar e reconhecer a Lei como condição de proteção contribuem para a produção do ato transgressivo.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o comportamento de diferentes genótipos de soja quanto à tolerância à ferrugem-asiática-da-soja (FAS), em condições de campo. Foram conduzidos experimentos, em dois anos consecutivos, no delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial, com oito níveis para genótipos de soja e três para aplicação de fungicida na parte aérea das plantas. Verificou-se suficiente variabilidade entre os genótipos avaliados quanto à tolerância à FAS, com alta interação com o ano. Os genótipos mais precoces apresentaram reduções de produtividade inferiores aos de ciclo mais tardio. A cultivar 'BRS 239' foi caracterizada como tolerante à FAS, pelo fato de as produtividades com e sem controle da doença não apresentarem diferenças significativas. A cultivar 'BRSGO 7560', apesar de apresentar ciclo mais tardio, comportou-se como tolerante à FAS, sem redução significativa da produtividade em condições de estresse pelo patógeno, na ausência de controle da doença, o que garantiu maior estabilidade produtiva.

ABSTRACT:he Lantana camara L. belongs to the family Verbenaceae, which contains several active compounds in leaves and roots and which are reported to have medicinal and insecticidal properties. Studies of plants within the same family show the existence of anti-inflammatory activity in paw edema induced by carrageenan, serotonin and histamine and analgesic activity in the acetic acid writhing and tail-flick tests. The present study investigated whether the L. camara extract (ACE) also exerts these effects. The ACE toxicity was studied in male mice, and the percentage of mortality recorded 7 days after treatment was assessed. The ACE was evaluated as an antinociceptive agent in the hot plate, tail-flick and acetic acid writhing tests at a nontoxic dose of 1.0 g/Kg. The results showed that 1.5 g/Kg of ACE was not able to cause death, and doses of 3.0 and 4.0 g/Kg caused 50% and 60% death, respectively, in male mice. In all of the antinociceptive tests, 1 g/Kg of ACE markedly reduced responses to pain. Our findings suggest that ACE may have active anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties in much smaller doses than toxic.

RESUMO:The effects of anesthesia with the essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum (EOO) in parameters of stress after handling were investigated in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). EOO was obtained from the aerial parts by hydrodistillation. Juveniles were anesthetized with 70 or 300 mg L-1 EOO and submitted to air exposure for 1 minute. The fishes were sampled immediately or transferred to anesthetic-free aquaria until sampling. In the first experiment, juveniles had their blood collected at 0, 1, 4, and 8 h after handling to assay plasma cortisol and blood glucose levels. The unanesthetized animals were restrained manually for blood collection. In the second experiment, water samples of the recovery aquaria were collected to evaluate net ion fluxes at 0 - 4 h and 4 - 8 h. Water and ethanol controls were also performed under the same conditions. The results showed that the cortisol levels did not differ among the treatments. Hyperglycemia was verified in fish exposed to 70 and 300 mg L-1 EOO at 1 h and 4 h after handling. After 8 h, cortisol and glucose concentrations were lower or similar than those from immediately after handling for all treatments. EOO anesthesia prevented Na+ efflux observed in the control groups in both flux periods. There were net Cl- and K+ effluxes at 0 - 4 h and influxes at 4 - 8 h after handling in most treatments, and these fluxes did not differ among the treatments. The results suggest that EOO did not impair stress recovery and did not act as an additional handling stressor in silver catfish.

Orthodontic movement in deciduous teeth
Authors: Consolaro Alberto
Published: May 2015

Deciduous teeth exfoliate as a result of apoptosis induced by cementoblasts, a process that reveals the mineralized portion of the root while attracting clasts. Root resorption in deciduous teeth is slow due to lack of mediators necessary to speed it up; however, it accelerates and spreads in one single direction whenever a permanent tooth pericoronal follicle, rich in epithelial growth factor (EGF), or other bone resorption mediators come near. The latter are responsible for bone resorption during eruption, and deciduous teeth root resorption and exfoliation. Should deciduous teeth be subjected to orthodontic movement or anchorage, mediators local levels will increase. Thus, one should be fully aware that root resorption in deciduous teeth will speed up and exfoliation will early occur. Treatment planning involving deciduous teeth orthodontic movement and/or anchorage should consider: Are clinical benefits relevant enough as to be worth the risk of undergoing early inconvenient root resorption?

Published: May 2015

OBJECTIVE: To compare the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the simplified Q-sort method used to investigate the highest level of agreement among dentists, orthodontists and laypeople when assessing smile and dental attractiveness. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An album containing 258 photos of 86 individuals with their lips at rest, a slight and broad smile, was assessed by 25 dentists (general clinicians and various specialties), 23 orthodontists and 27 laypeople with regard to smile and dental attractiveness. To this end, both VAS and simplified Q-sort method were used. Agreements were calculated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: For the single measurement between the VAS method and the simplified Q-sort method, all simplified Q-sort rates were higher in all groups. The simplified Q-sort method results ranged between 0.42 and 0.49 while those of the VAS method varied between 0.37 and 0.42. The simplified Q-sort method also presented higher mean measurement values (0.95 and 0.96) in comparison to VAS (0.94 and 0.95). CONCLUSIONS: Both scales may be considered reliable for evaluating smile and dental attractiveness; however, the simplified Q-Sort method presented slightly higher values than the VAS method.

O presente trabalho vale-se dos estudos empreendidos no campo dos estudos culturais, em especial, de Homi Bhabha, para propor uma análise acerca do romance brasileiro Terra Papagalli, de José Roberto Torero e Marcus Aurelius Pimenta, vislumbrando o modo como a narrativa desmonta a realidade histórica, ao explorar outros ângulos, e coloca em foco o panorama que envolve a revisitação das Descobertas. Assim, contraria expectativas, desvelando paradoxos como os que tendem a alimentar ímpetos cívicos e comemorativos que convivem, antagonicamente, com correntes contestatórias que problematizam os nexos internos desses empreendimentos, articulando, por meio de recursos miméticos, outras vozes e repetições críticas dos modelos e referências contestados.
