O tratamento da oralidade nos PCN de língua portuguesa de 5ª a 8ª séries

Abstract: Este ensaio dedica-se a analise do tratamento dispensado a oralidade nos de 5a a 8a Series do Primeiro Grau, tendo em vista a relevância da questao. O estudo frisa ser esta a primeira vez que um documento oficial dedica atencao especial a linguagem oral no ensino de lingua materna, dando-lhe uma posicao de destaque. Entre os aspectos positivos, aponta a nocao de linguagem como atividade social e cognitiva, e o fato de nao se postular uma dicotomia estrita entre fala e escrita como se fossem dois sistemas linguisticos diversos. Contudo, a analise detalhada das principais passagens em que o tema da oralidade e tratado, revela que o resultado geral nao e animador, particularmente sob o ponto de vista pratico, pois nao ha um definicao clara da oralidade nem um sugestao adequada do seu tratamento empirico. Observa, tambem, que em varias passagens verifica-se umavisao da oralidade pelo vies da perspectiva da escrita. No conjunto, sugere-se uma revisao conceitual, ampliacao dos generos textuais da fala a serem tratados e maior concretude na formulacao nas propostas de trabalho.

Water spirits within the fishers' worldview: implications for fishing management in Northeast Brazil.

Abstract: Historically, aquatic environments are linked to the worldview of many local people, where there is an interconnection between the natural world, the supernatural, and the social organization. In this study, we provided a discussion on how the supernatural beings that inhabit the freshwater systems interact with artisanal fishers and fishing resources in the riverine community of Parnaiba River middle course, in Mid North of Northeast Brazil. We also provided the implications of these interactions on the fisher’s behaviors and how the acculturation process (e.g., introduction of new religions) can affect the fishers’ worldview. The selection of participants was done through intentional sampling. The content qualitative analysis was carried out to interpret the data from semi-structured interviews with 29 artisanal fishers. The mythical representations that inhabit the aquatic environments in the surveyed area were as follows: Mae d’ agua, Cabeca de cuia, Muleque d’agua, Visage, Piratinga, Sucuiuiu, and Luz e Arco-iris. These beings have distinctions regarding the form and attributions and can be associated with seasonality (temporal markers) and specific habitats (spatial markers). The respect and fear feeling of the mythical beings were striking among the fishers interviewed. For instance, we have record offering practices in order to obtain protection and success during the fisheries. These practices suggest that there may be local conservationist habits in fisheries management. However, the advancement of urbanization and the introduction of new religions that deny the existence of mythical entities are factors that can generate the acculturation process among the fishers. It is therefore necessary to carry out more studies in the surveyed area in order to evaluate the existence of possible patterns in the relationship between fisher and mythical beings. This information could confirm the role of mythical beings as environmental regulators. Consequently, it could be considered in the conservationist policies of fishery resources, reinforcing the importance of local knowledge and cultural factors for fishing management approaches.

Efeito dos Diferentes Níveis de Quirera de Arroz em Substituição ao Milho em Rações de Suínos na Fase de Crescimento

Abstract: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o desempenho de suinos, na fase de crescimento alimentados, com racoes contendo diferentes niveis (0, 25, 50, 75,100%) de quirera de arroz (QA) em substituicao ao milho. Foram utilizados 160 suinos (LD x LW), machos castrados e femeas com peso medio inicial de 23,7±2,20 kg. O delineamento foi o de blocos casualizados com cinco tratamentos quatro repeticoes e oito animais por unidade experimental. O consumo medio diario de racao (CMDR), ganho de peso medio diario (GMPD) e a conversao alimentar (CA) foram avaliados no periodo. Os niveis de QA aumentaram (P

Conhecimento de Mulheres Incontinentes sobre Incontinência Urinária: uma Reflexão Teórico‐Crítica

Abstract: Introducao: A incontinencia urinaria e a perda involuntaria de urina, e pode ocasionar problemas fisicos, emocionais, sociais e economicos. Objetivo: Despertar nos profissionais de saude, bem como nos gestores de saude, a dimensao da problematica referente a incontinencia urinaria. Metodos: Trata‐se de uma reflexao teorico‐critica oriunda dos resultados de uma dissertacao de mestrado do Programa de Pos‐graduacao (Mestrado) em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Piaui sobre a falta de conhecimento por parte das mulheres com incontinencia urinaria quanto a referida condicao. Resultados: O conhecimento destas mulheres sobre esta problematica e insuficiente para promover o auto-cuidado e/ou buscar auxilio profissional. Conclusao: Faz‐se necessario discutir sobre as possibilidades de informacao e de cuidados que podem ser dispensados as mulheres incontinentes, por meio de uma busca teorico‐pratica dos principais tipos de tratamento para tal enfermidade, bem como refletir sobre as acoes que os profissionais de saude, os orgaos publicos e os veiculos de comunicacao tem feito e podem fazer em prol da melhoria da qualidade de vida das mulheres incontinentes.

Maternal effect or growth curve of Santa Inês sheep by random regression models

Abstract: Data set of 17.767 weight records of 4.210 Santa Ines lambs were used aiming to evaluate the importance of the inclusion of the maternal effect in the model to estimate components of (Co) variance and resulting genetic parameters for the growth curve through random regression models. The fixed and random regressions were fitted using Legendre Polynomials of order three, being fit four models that differed in relation to the inclusion of the additive genetic and permanent environmental maternal effects. Considerable increase was observed in Log L and decrease in the criteria AIC and BIC when the maternal effect was included (genetic or permanent environmental), evidencing its importance. The maternal genetic effect explained larger proportion of the phenotypic variance than the maternal permanent environmental along the growth curve. The direct additive genetic variance was inflated by maternal effect, when this last one was not considered in the analysis model, reflecting the same behavior in the heritabilities. The maternal permanent environmental effect contributed to maternal variance, as well as, it inflated maternal genetic variance, when it was not considered in the model. Similar behavior was verified with maternal heritability. The correlation estimated for the four models hardly differed in function of maternal effect. The maternal effect should be considered in the genetic studies of the growth curve of Santa Ines sheep.
