ESTUDOS LINGUÍSTICOS E LITERÁRIOS Volume II é a compilação dos trabalhos finais dos professores mestres profissionais em Língua Portuguesa e suas respectivas literaturas do programa de pós-graduação da Universidade do Estado do Pará – PPGELL-UEPA. Cada projeto demandou muita pesquisa e idas a campo, a sala de aula, lugar onde o professor entra não só para ministrar, mas para procurar saber onde se escondem os problemas de aprendizagem, tentar buscar soluções para resolvê-los e encontrar a melhor maneira de ensinar Língua Portuguesa e suas literaturas. Não mais pautando-se apenas pela tradicionalidade do ensino, mas buscando a tecnologia, a fim de suscitar o interesse dos Nativos Digitais. Assim surgiram os produtos educacionais que nasceram da criatividade de cada professor em cooperação com as turmas pelas quais eram responsáveis e que vão descritos nesta obra que ora se apresenta.
O primeiro volume da coletânea "Letras e artes: afinidades de trajetórias investigativas" apresenta estudos em que a Literatura recebe relevo e investigações diversas sobre a nossa relação com a linguagem. Nele percorremos discussões sobre Marina Colasanti, Fernando Pessoa e Franz Kafka. Além disso, as artes cênicas são colocadas em perspectiva com a saúde mental. Esta obra é indicada para todos os estudiosos da linguagem, da literatura e das artes que buscam compreender formas não tradicionais de se conceber e perceber a linguagem no mundo.
This book is a pioneer attempt to bring forward the first synthesis on the most diverse and threatened mountain top vegetation of South America, the rupestrian grasslands. It brings to light the state of the art information on this ecosystem geology, soil formation and distribution, environmental filters that lead to biodiversity, species interactions and their fine tuned adaptations to survive the harsh mountain environment. The human dimensions of the rupestrian grassland are also addressed, including the anthropogenic threats that may irreversibly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services. The book also highlights the ongoing studies on ecological restoration and first attempt to model the impacts of climate change on its speciose biota.
This book highlights the advances in essential oil research, from the plant physiology perspective to large-scale production, including bioanalytical methods and industrial applications. The book is divided into 4 sections. The first one is focused on essential oil composition and why plants produce these compounds that have been used by humans since ancient times. Part 2 presents an update on the use of essential oils in various areas, including food and pharma industries as well as agriculture. In part 3 readers will find new trends in bioanalytical methods. Lastly, part 4 presents a number of approaches to increase essential oil production, such as in vitro and hairy root culture, metabolic engineering and biotechnology. Altogether, this volume offers a comprehensive look at what researchers have been doing over the last years to better understand these compounds and how to explore them for the benefit of the society.
Genre analysis has a long-established tradition in literature, but interest in the analysis of non-literary genres has been very recent. This book examines the theory of genre analysis, looks at genre analysis in action, taking texts from a wide variety of genres and discusses the use of genre analysis in language teaching and language reform.
The genus Phyllanthus has over 1,000 species distributed worldwide, many of which have been used indigenously for the treatment of a variety of ailments for generations. Researchers have developed ways to analyze the potential of these plants and demonstrated the pharmacological action and various chemical entities present in each of them. They have validated the folklore claims and used this knowledge to design cost-effective and reliable sources of medicine. The first book to exclusively examine the genus Phyllanthus, Phyllanthus Species: Scientific Evaluation and Medicinal Applications begins with a systematic classification and identification manual for various plants in the genus, follo...
This topical new book by Zygmunt Bauman explores the notion of identity in the modern world. As we grapple with the insecurity and uncertainty of liquid modernity, Bauman argues that our socio-political, cultural, professional, religious and sexual identities are undergoing a process of continual transformation. Identities the world over have become more precarious than ever: we live in an era of constant change and disposability - whether it's last season’s outfit, or car, or even partner – and our identities as a result have become transient and deeply elusive. In a world of rapid global change where national borders are increasingly eroded, our identities are in a state of continuous flux. Identity - a notion that by its very nature is elusive and ambivalent – has become a key concept for understanding the changing nature of social life and personal experience in our contemporary, liquid modern age. In this brief book, Zygmunt Bauman explains compellingly why this is so.
This book is a summary of the main research results and the presentations given at the final conference of the WAVES Program on June 25-26, 2001 in Fortaleza (Brazil). Global climatic change will most likely affect natural resources and human living conditions in semi-arid regions. The authors present disciplinary as well as integrative methods to assess these impacts considering the interactions between climate variability and change, water availability, land-use systems, and quality of life.
Every genus is described and illustrated with one or more plates of line drawings by the botanical artist Eleanor Catherine, and distribution maps. Topics covered include their economic value, phylogenetic relationships, fossil history, cultivation, anatomy (by J.C. French) and chemistry (by R. Hegnauer).
