The discursive construction of archival science: Conceptual foundations

This work outlines a theoretical background established in Archival Science based mainly on discourse analysis as a key discipline to understand which the differences are and points of conceptual commonality in the area. Uses the French Discourse Analysis as a principle with a theoretical and methodological framework to typify the archive as a discursive practice defined by their historical aspects of its institutional junctures. The study of discourse helps to understand how certain linguistic formations construct the discourse, concerned mainly with the context in which the text was produced. This analysis take place from manuals and treatises of Archival Science produced during the development of discipline and regarded as grounds for discipline. We analyzed the Manual of an Archival Arrangement and Description (vor Handleiding van het ordenen in bescheijven archieven) of Muller, Feith, and Fruin (Ed.1 1898). Another work considered is the Manual of Archive Administration Including the Problems of War Archives and Archive a Making (1 Ed. 1922) and some of late works of Sir Hillary Jenkinson and finally analyzed the work of Theodore R. Schellenberg some aspects of his vast bibliography. With this analyzes we established a radiography of the Archival Science basis

The functional classification in Archival Science: an analysis of the scientific collaboration in the Journals Archivaria and American Archivist

[Resumo] A classificação é uma das atividades principais da organização de arquivos sua importância enquanto atividade na arquivística, foi modificando-se no decorrer do tempo, de simples e aplicada unicamente em arquivos históricos para o atual status de atividade gerencial e analítica. Busca-se com este artigo num primeiro momento, evidenciar alguns aspectos do desenvolvimento deste conceito no passado e na atualidade, por meio de um breve histórico, em um segundo momento faz-se a análise da colaboração científica em dois importantes periódicos da área a Archivaria e American Archivist nos últimos 20 anos buscando os autores mais representativos no âmbito da teoria arquivística e em especial da classificação. Foi possível evidenciar como se comporta a colaboração científica na área e a relação existente entre teóricos dos Estados Unidos, Austrália e Canadá, países responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento de uma série de noções fundamentais para a Arquivística de hoje.[Abstract] Classification is one of the main activities of the archive organization its importance as an archival activity, has been modified over time, simple and applied only in the historical archives to the current status of managerial and analytic activity. We seek with this article at first, highlight certain aspects of the development of this concept in the past and at present, through a brief history, in a second time makes an analysis of scientific collaboration in the important journals Archivaria and American Archivist in past 20 years seeking the most representative authors in the context of archival theory and especially the classification. Was possible to show how behaves the scientific collaboration in the area and the theoretical relationship between the United States, Australia and Canada, countries responsible for developing a series of fundamental concepts to the Archival Science today

Criteria for the comparison of usability and accessibility of anatomical 3d web interfaces

A utilização de bonecos anatômicos virtuais tem conquistado espaço no ensino das ciências de saúde. Sua utilização auxilia no estudo médico de anatomia e na simulação de pacientes com patologias, doenças agudas e traumas. As tecnologias recentes tornaram possível o surgimento de vários bonecos anatômicos virtuais tridimensionais de acesso Web. Realizou-se, então, a definição de critérios para a avaliação e escolha desses bonecos com o foco no ensino na área de saúde ou aplicações médicas, com o objetivo de auxiliar na escolha do boneco mais adequado conforme cada contexto. Para tal, foram levantados alguns frameworks de avaliação relacionados ao tema e então desenvolvidos os critérios de avaliação e seus níveis de pontuação, até finalmente avaliarem-se os bon¬ecos anatômicos encontrados. Como resultado, foram definidos os critérios de navegabilidade, tridimensionalidade, interatividade e realismo, cada um destes podendo receber pontuação de 0 a 5. Entre os bonecos avaliados, os bonecos BioDigital Human e Anato¬mography foram os que obtiveram as melhores pontuações ao todo, 16 pontos, ou 80%. No quadro geral, os bonecos apresentaram uma pontuação média de 2,78 pontos, ou 55,56%, com desvio padrão de 1,56. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThe use of virtual anatomical manikin has reached within the health science education. Its use helps in the study of anatomy and medical simulation in patients with pathologies, acute illnesses and injuries. Recent technologies have made possible the availability of several virtual three-dimensional anatomical manikins in the Web. The next step was the defini¬tion of criteria for evaluation and selection of these manikins with the focus on the education in healthcare or medical appli¬cations in order to assist in choosing the most appropriate manikin as each setting. For this, we collected some assessment frameworks related to the topic and then developed the evaluation criteria and scoring levels, and finally was evaluated the anatomic manikins found. Then, we defined the criteria for navigability, three-dimensionality, interactivity and realism, each of which may receive score 0-5. Among the assessed manikins, the Human BioDigital and Anatomography were the ones with the best scores overall, 16 points or 80%. In the big picture, the manikins had a mean score of 2.78 points or 55.56% with a standard deviation of 1.56

Bimodal chemical evolution of the Galactic disk and the Barium abundance of Cepheids

In order to understand the Barium abundance distribution in the Galactic disk based on Cepheids, one must first be aware of important effects of the corotation resonance, situated a little beyond the solar orbit. The thin disk of the Galaxy is divided in two regions that are separated by a barrier situated at that radius. Since the gas cannot get across that barrier, the chemical evolution is independent on the two sides of it. The barrier is caused by the opposite directions of flows of gas, on the two sides, in addition to a Cassini-like ring void of HI (caused itself by the flows). A step in the metallicity gradient developed at corotation, due to the difference in the average star formation rate on the two sides, and to this lack of communication between them. In connection with this, a proof that the spiral arms of our Galaxy are long-lived (a few billion years) is the existence of this step. When one studies the abundance gradients by means of stars which span a range of ages, like the Cepheids, one has to take into account that stars, contrary to the gas, have the possibility of crossing the corotation barrier. A few stars born on the high metallicity side are seen on the low metallicity one, and vice-versa. In the present work we re-discuss the data on Barium abundance in Cepheids as a function of Galactic radius, taking into account the scenario described above. The [Ba/H] ratio, plotted as a function of Galactic radius, apparently presents a distribution with two branches in the external region (beyond corotation). One can re-interpret the data and attribute the upper branch to the stars that were born on the high metallicity side. The lower branch, analyzed separately, indicates that the stars born beyond corotation have a rising Barium metallicity as a function of Galactic radius.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings of IAU Symposium 29

A limitada conexão entre a mineração e a conservação da biodiversidade nos fundos marinhos : uma análise das normas materiais de proteção ambiental aplicáveis aos fundos marinhos

Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Direito, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, 2019.As normas materiais aplicáveis à mineração dos fundos marinhos são limitadas para conectar esta atividade à conservação da biodiversidade contida no leito marinho. O princípio da prevenção e o princípio da precaução, da forma como regulados nas normas materiais, apresentam limitações para direcionar e orientar o direito positivo para a construção de um framework jurídico pautado na conservação da biodiversidade no âmbito das atividades de prospecção e exploração dos fundos marinhos. Portanto, o arcabouço jurídico vigente para a Área não se direciona para a conservação da biodiversidade marinha. Da mesma forma, a regulação material das obrigações de conservar, bem como obrigações relacionadas à abordagem ecossistêmica e ao instrumento de estudos de impacto ambiental também apresentam limitações no que tange à instituição de regras mais específicas para a adequada gestão e conservação da biodiversidade marinha. Apesar dessas limitações, foi possível verificar importantes pontos de conexão entre a mineração nos fundos marinhos e a conservação da biodiversidade tanto em relação aos princípios quanto em relação às obrigações analisadas, sobretudo nos regulamentos adotados pela Autoridade Internacional dos Fundos Marinhos (AIFM). O arcabouço normativo existente é limitado, mas capaz de instituir uma base normativa para o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento dos pontos de conexão já estabelecidos por parte da AIFM. A superação desses limites é necessária caso se queira desenvolver as atividades de mineração que levem em consideração a adequada gestão e conservação da ainda desconhecida biodiversidade contida nos fundos marinhos.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).The substantive law applicable to seabed mining is limited to connect this activity to the conservation of the biodiversity contained in the seabed. The principle of prevention and the precautionary principle, as regulated in substantive law, have limitations to guide the positive law for the construction of a legal framework based on the conservation of biodiversity in deep seabed mining. Therefore, the current legal framework for the Area is not directed towards the conservation of marine biodiversity. Likewise, the regulation of the obligations to conserve, as well as the obligations related to the ecosystem approach and the instrument of environmental impact assessment, also presented limitations on the establishment of more specific rules for the proper management and conservation of marine biodiversity. In spite of these limitations, it was possible to verify important points of connection between deep seabed mining and the conservation of biodiversity, both in relation to the principles and in relation to the obligations analyzed, especially in the regulations adopted by the International Seabed Authority (ISBA). The existing normative framework is limited but capable of establishing a normative basis for the development and improvement of already established connection points by the ISBA. Exceeding these limits is necessary if mining activities are to be developed considering the proper management and conservation of the still unknown biodiversity contained in the seabed

Regulation of seed dormancy and germination in Arabidopsis thaliana

Seed germination is one of the most important developmental steps in the life cycle of a higher plant. Because of this, seed producing plants have evolved mechanisms, such as dormancy, that time germination based on environmental cues. The present study uses Arabidopsis thaliana as a model to address questions about seed dormancy and germination. Three different lines of investigation were followed. The first involved an investigation of how light quality regulates phytohormones in order to control germination. This identified a light-dependent mechanism that differentially regulates expression of the ALLENE OXIDE SYNTHASE and OXOPHYTODIENOATE-REDUCTASE 3 genes resulting in accumulation of cis-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (cis-OPDA) and repression of seed germination under FR conditions. The second line of investigation involved a re- examination of the role of the ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE (ABI) 5 and ABI4 transcription factors in regulating seed germination and oil mobilization respectively. The study found that abscisic acid (ABA) is able to block testa rupture in nicked seeds and this involves the ABI5, but not the ABI4, transcription factor. Furthermore, it was found that ABI4 is involved in the repression of ABA and cis-OPDA biosynthesis in a light- dependent manner, but has only a minor role in regulating oil mobilization in seeds. The third line of investigation focused on the regulation of dormancy during after-ripening and found that changes in phytohormone levels over an extended period can account for changes in dormancy state

Metáforas conceptuais em reportagens com tema sobre AIDS

Linked to “Metaphors, Discursive Genre and Argumentation” project, this study aimed to survey the linguistic expressions that update the metaphors of AIDS, making a linguistic-discursive reading of data. We used, as theoretical support, the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, designed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980; 1999); Kövecses (2002; 2005); Espíndola (2001); Sardinha (2007) and others. Our hypothesis was that the metaphors of AIDS may not be the same in 3 (three) decades of reports from VEJA and Super Interessante magazines. In our analysis, we found that disease was conceptualized in terms of military war – AIDS IS WAR – in 30 reports of 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Another metaphor – AIDS IS PUNISHMENT – was updated only in two reports of 1980s.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESVinculada ao projeto Metáforas, Gêneros Discursivos e Argumentação do LASPRAT (Laboratório Semântico-Pragmático de Textos), esta pesquisa objetivou fazer um levantamento das expressões linguísticas que atualizam as metáforas da AIDS, realizando uma leitura linguístico-discursiva dos dados. Para tanto, utilizamos, como suporte teórico, a Teoria da Metáfora Conceptual, na concepção de Lakoff e Johnson (1980); Kövecses (2002); Espíndola (2011); Sardinha (2007) entre outros. A nossa hipótese foi a de que as metáforas da AIDS podem não ser as mesmas nas 3 (três) décadas de reportagens das revistas VEJA e Super Interessante. No corpus analisado, verificamos que a doença foi conceptualizada em termos de um embate militar – AIDS É GUERRA – em 30 reportagens das décadas de 1980, 1990 e 2000. Outra metáfora – AIDS É CASTIGO – foi atualizada em 2 reportagens apenas da década de 1980
