Phonetic Key to The Non-Standard Othography in The Novels of George Eliot

Any writer attempting to represent graphically variant pronunciations is faced with the double problem of being accurate as regards the pronunciation he has in mind and of choosing a spelling easily identifiable with the standard word. As a rule, he will keep most of the normal spelling and alter only the orthography of the syllable pronounced in a different way. The results of this operation should enable the reader to interpret the variant spelling quickly and, at the same time, give him a good idea about how that word sounds in dialect speech. It is not always easy to interpret variant spellings and the extra effort they demand from the reader\u27s attention may sometimes provoke his rejection; it all depends on the writer\u27s ability and on the reader\u27s good disposition. The existence of a long standing tradition in the use of dialects in English literature reaching as far back as Chaucer says much for their general acceptance among the public. Research has been carried out on this aspect of the works of some individual authors who tried to suggest Scottish, northern, southern or Cockney pronunciations in the XIXth century. Those were also the dialects most frequently described in glossaries, essays and periodicals, and the best known to the general reader. Yet very little has been said about the dialect in the novels of George Eliot 0), the first author to fully represent the speech of the West Midlands. The reason for this may be the almost total lack of dialect studies about this region in the XIXth century (2) and also the absence of other writers to continue the path she started

A migração das mídias tradicionais para a internet

Esta monografia tem como objetivo mostrar a evolução das mídias tradicionais – jornais, revistas, rádio e TV. Em um segundo momento, aborda a migração dessas mídias para a Internet, mostrando os principais motivos dessa mudança e as suas conseqüências no mercado publicitário. Conclui-se nesta monografia que a publicidade ainda não migrou para Internet, na mesma proporção como está acontecendo com as mídias convencionais

Multiway principal component analysis and case base reasoning methodology for abnormal situation detection in a nutrient removing SBR

Multiway Principal Component Analysis (MPCA) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approaches are applied in a biological nutrient removal process. The goal is monitoring of normal and abnormal operation conditions in this process. MPCA is used as a compression tool where with few variables the process can be described, as well as, to detect batches with abnormal conditions. However, some abnormal conditions (alarms) are omitted or, otherwise some false alarms are produced. Then, CBR is proposed. It assumes that similar problems should have similar solutions. In biological process, these problems generally are operational situations under normal or abnormal situations: low ORP, high pH, sensors fault, among others. These symptoms can be stored in a Case Base (CB) in order to diagnose future situations. Several proof are made in order to find the better methodology.Postprint (author’s final draft

OS AVANÇOS TECNOLÓGICOS E A PRECARIZAÇÃO DAS RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO: A NECESSIDADE DE ESPAÇOS TRANSNACIONAIS PROTETIVOS

Tecendo considerações preliminares sobre o fenômeno da quarta revolução industrial e seus impactos nas relações laborais, o presente artigo traz o registro de uma abordagem sobre os direitos fundamentais, em especial os sociais. Aborda-se, mais especificamente, desde a origem até a mitigação dos direitos fundamentais sociais trabalhistas. Sustenta-se, a partir da constatação da recente e cada vez mais crescente precarização, a necessidade de Estados fortes, que possam barrar os impactos negativos dos fenômenos de globalização da economia, bem como se argumenta pela necessidade de criação de espaços transnacionais aparelhados de modo a servir a defesa dos direitos fundamentais, além de sua constante concretização

Este artigo tem como escopo entranhar nos estranhamentos de uma dissertação intitulada: Histórias de uma pesquisa(dora) em uma escola do campo com professores que lecionam Matemática. Para tanto, o artigo fricciona a ficção de algumas partes da dissertação: no primeiro ato tem se quatro episódios com intervenções e no segundo ato, apresentam-se documentos sobre Educação do Campo e discute-se como a Educação Matemática tem se friccionado na/de/para/com a Educação do Campo. Desse modo, os fios puxados aqui entranham no emaranhado de uma Dissertação que encontra na ficção uma maneira de friccionar alguns acontecimentos/estranhamentos vivenciados por uma pesquisa(dora) nos territórios existenciais de vidas

“É INJUSTO MAS É A LEI”: A PENA MÍNIMA DE PRISÃO COMO OBSTÁCULO À PENA JUSTA

A partir de entrevistas reflexivas com juristas brasileiros, o texto oferece um quadro conceitual para a reflexão sobre as possibilidades decisórias diante da pena mínima de prisão. Os resultados sistematizam as razões e métodos para aplicar e deixar de aplicar a pena mínima, contribuindo para ampliar nosso conhecimento sobre a divisão de tarefas entre legislador e juiz em matéria de penas.

Cardiac-surgery associated acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy. A Spanish retrospective case-cohort study

Acute kidney injury is among the most serious complications after cardiac surgery and is associated with an impaired outcome. Multiple factors may concur in the development of this disease. Moreover, severe renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) presents a high mortality rate. Consequently, we studied a Spanish cohort of patients to assess the risk factors for RRT in cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). METHODS: A retrospective case-cohort study in 24 Spanish hospitals. All cases of RRT after cardiac surgery in 2007 were matched in a crude ratio of 1:4 consecutive patients based on age, sex, treated in the same year, at the same hospital and by the same group of surgeons. RESULTS: We analyzed the data from 864 patients enrolled in 2007. In multivariate analysis, severe acute kidney injury requiring postoperative RRT was significantly associated with the following variables: lower glomerular filtration rates, less basal haemoglobin, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, diabetes, prior diuretic treatment, urgent surgery, longer aortic cross clamp times, intraoperative administration of aprotinin, and increased number of packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfused. When we conducted a propensity analysis using best-matched of 137 available pairs of patients, prior diuretic treatment, longer aortic cross clamp times and number of PRBC transfused were significantly associated with CSA-AKI.Patients requiring RRT needed longer hospital stays, and suffered higher mortality rates. CONCLUSION: Cardiac-surgery associated acute kidney injury requiring RRT is associated with worse outcomes. For this reason, modifiable risk factors should be optimised and higher risk patients for acute kidney injury should be identified before undertaking cardiac surgery
