This article aims on reflecting on the teaching process of the English language in Brazil starting from a perspective that contemplates the sociocultural factors and also the linguistic factors that might influence the learning of a foreign language. Weinreich, Labov and Herzog (2006 [1968]) see any linguistic changes as the result of a process of linguistic fit between variables internal to the linguistic system and those external to it (i.e. socioeconomic factors). Issues such as the Brazilian basic education system, proficiency evaluation, use of English with other speakers, and literacy issues can be considered as extralinguistic factors (external to the language, but which exert influence in it) that along with linguistic system factors, such as Interlanguage, can lead Brazilian speakers to develop a "Brazilian English" (in comparison toterms known as "British English" or "American English"), or to use this language as "lingua franca", to ensure that the purpose of any message is passed on.

Aims: To commemorate the centennial of the geriatrics, the authors present a review of the population aging, the elderly individual, the characteristics of the geriatric medicine, and its history. Source of data: A throughout review of the literature found on MedLine and LILACS, as well as textbooks, dissertations, thesis, and government directives was performed. Summary of the findings: Geriatrics is the area of medicine that cares for the health and treatment of diseases in old age, which works with physical, mental, functional and social aspects in the acute, chronic, rehabilitative, preventive and palliative care of the elderly. Geriatrics goes beyond "medicine centered on organs and systems", offering holistic treatment by interdisciplinary teams with the principal objective of optimizing functional capacity and improvement of quality of life and autonomy of the elderly, which make up the core of this medical specialty. Geriatrics, in daily assistance practice, works with particular questions such as: the heterogeneity of patients and of scenarios of care; concomitance of multiple diseases/disorders (plurimorbidity), including geriatric syndromes ("the giants of geriatrics"); difficulty of identifying all the problems (iceberg phenomenon); polypharmacy; fragility; vulnerability; the various losses that the elderly show; and terminality. Conclusions: Geriatrics refers to the medical specialty responsible for the clinical aspects of aging and for the various forms of health care necessary for the elderly. Because of the complexity allied to the aging process, geriatrics has become an intriguing, challenging and contemporaneous specialty. ; Objetivos: para comemorar o centenário da Geriatria, os autores apresentam uma revisão sobre o fenômeno do envelhecimento, o indivíduo idoso, as características da medicina geriátrica e um resumo da sua história. Fonte de dados: foi realizada uma revisão da literatura através de artigos localizados nas bases MedLine e LILACS, além de livros, dissertações, teses e diretrizes ...

A HQ "Liga Extraordinária" insere, numa mesma trama, diversos personagens clássicos da literatura fantástica inglesa do século XIX, porém procurando preservar o máximo possível as características descritas nos livros originais. Isso cria a necessidade da elaboração de um único espaço geográfico que seja capaz de justificar a presença simultânea de personagens que não foram idealizados para interagir harmoniosamente. Como resultado, a HQ se destaca por sua forma singular de representação do espaço geográfico, pouco comum na mídia, apresentando uma Londres do século XIX que destoa daquela que a maioria dos leitores está habituada, ainda que (ou por isso mesmo) seja mais adequada aos personagens que a habitam. Um "espaço extraordinário" tão (in)coerente e (des)harmonizado com seus "extraordinários" habitantes quanto o espaço real em relação a nós mesmos, encontrando assim eco nos recentes trabalhos da geógrafa americana Doreen Massey.

Through this study, we develop a descriptive and comparative analysis of metaphorical sentences which contain verbs with iterative and cursive aspectual meanings. The corpus analyzed in this qualitative and quantitative research has a total of 129 metaphors of Brazilian Portuguese and English. The analysis and description of the data were performed from the Semantic Interaction Theory by Max Black (1993), because it understands and emphasizes that metaphor is a special phenomenon in which the terms that make up the statement interact creating a mental operation, in a view that the language creates reality and ways of thinking (Fossile, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c, 2011a, 2011b, 2012b, 2012c; Dias and Fossile 2014). The methodology used for this descriptive and comparative analysis of the metaphorical occurrences of Brazilian Portuguese and English was developed by Moura (2007) and Fossile (2008a; 2008b; 2008c, 2011a, 2012b, 2012c). We can conclude that there is regularity in interpreting metaphors of Brazilian Portuguese and English and when we interpret a metaphor we do not perform a casual or random interpretation, but it seems to us that we recourse to a structure designed cognitively, in which aspectual values along with the interaction between the topic and the vehicle of a metaphorical sentence seem to be the most important point.

"This book is an enquiry into memory in the Western world. Specifically, memory is the framework of culture, because it links the present to the past--or tradition--and projects it into the future. For this reason, any work focusing on memory involves a double challenge: (1) to reveal the origin of concepts and (2) to glimpse the course of thoughts. This is the case of the present volume, in which the authors make several tastings of Europe's intellectual heritage, by taking into account both the Greek origin of this legacy and its relevance for understanding the European philosophical heritage. In particular, these papers focus on the Aristotelian tradition, the true keystone of Europe, and on other currents of thought that have also played an essential role in the intellectual evolution of the Old Continent. In the latter field, there are contributions, for instance, on philosophical-religious traditions such as Orphism or on certain fundamental aspects of Neoplatonism both in the Classical World and in Christian authors. The volume concludes with various works on the survival of these intellectual trends from the Renaissance to the present day. Consequently, this work offers the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the aspects that define Western civilisation, observed both from its origin and its evolution over the centuries. The volume contains papers in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English."--

The notions of enthusiasm and fanaticism, besides the fact that they were associated with the concrete phenomenon of religious zeal at the time of the Reformation, were also, throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the object of a literature that built a specific image of the so-called enthusiasts, be they the English Puritans, the Huguenot prophets or the Jansenist convulsionaries. By constructing this image, literature - philosophical, medical or satirical - produced at the same time the specular image of itself, sometimes as pure alterity in relation to the fanatic, sometimes relativizing this opposition. Our journey starts from some of these formulations in England at the beginning of the 17th century, and then pays attention carefully to the elaborations of Swift and Diderot about fanaticism and enthusiasm, from the beginning to the middle of the 18th century, showing that philosophy itself, often understood as the opposite of fanaticism or madness, can also become its other when it gives in to enthusiasm.

Objective: Analyze how scientific studies describe the burnout syndrome in nurses. Methods: Integrative review of
literature, in databases BDENF, LILACS, MEDLINE and Cochrane library, using descriptors of stress, burnout, hospital
and nursing, in Portuguese and/ or its variations in English. Results: Only 14 articles entered in the selection because
they fit the inclusion criteria and include answers to the guiding question (three articles spoke of leisure, hours of work
and quality of life, five articles describing stress; seven articles detailing burnout, and only one article described the
quality of life and stress simultaneously). Conclusion: The papers presented concern only in areas of the hospital
environment, especially in closed areas, with lack of research outside of these.

The connection between art and sublime, at first sight, sounds like a certainty, but throughout the 18th century some theories separated this category from the several art forms. Those were the decades in which the matters on the sublime were notably fruitful, times where not only the sublime earns its title as an aesthetic category, but also outstandingly takes part on the epistemological debates at the time where the term Aesthetics were just recently coined. It is in this scenery that some thinkers were especially worried about the natural sublime only. This article intends to show the path travelled by this concept from the 1st century, with Longinus' literature treaty Peri Hypsos, translated by Boileau-Despréaux as Du Sublime to its reception by the English in 1689. From that reception on, the text goes through philosophers such as Joseph Addison, Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant, who developed the natural sublime theory, arriving to the reinsertion of the tragedy in this category by Friedrich Schiller. Thus, what we call here "the cycle of the natural sublime", which originated in literary production and moved away from it with the Empiricism and the Transcendental Idealism, comes back again within the sphere of literature in the German poet's work.

From the beginning of Brazilian service sector rebuilding process, the service organizations - which include universities and their academic libraries, seek to improve their processes, adopting efficient and effective tools, and thus obtain a competitive advantage. Libraries use to document all of the working instructions they carry out in their called "Service Manual", which when are available to everyone, becomes an important administrative tool. Currently (2008) each department of PUCRS Main Library has its own service manual, stored in different ways (paper archive, network drive) and produced in different ways (digital, print). This project aims to design an information system to improve the way are documented the services work instructions of PUCRS Main Library. The literature points out that it is possible to unify and systematize the methods of documentation of work instructions, through the adoption of an information system. The literature consulted covers topics such as Internet, development of Internet 2.0 systems, libraries intranet, work instructions, library services, system development methodologies and Unified Modeling Language(UML). Among the system development methodologies studied, the IBM's Rational Unified Process (RUP) was adopted, together with the UML notation. As research method the "Case Study Method" was adopted, which allowed the research of the phenomena in depth and in its real context. By applying in-depth interview techniques, direct observation and also documentary analysis, it was possible review and analyse the current Main Library situation. The documentation process of the work instructions was mapped, and its informational needs identified. Based on this analysis, a system modeling was created, validated through post-interaction with the each department coordinators, thus the objective proposed in the present study was met. (English)

Defining a concept of health needs is essential for establishing limits to medical and sanitary interventions, whether at an individual or collective level. Like many expressions in current technical use, the meanings attributed to the expression "health needs" vary considerably. Thus, this work was driven by the hypothesis that the specialized literature lacks rigor in the definition and use of the term, posing an ethical and political problem for it can reverberate in issues such as resource allocation and in the definition of strategies and actions of a therapeutic project. To this end, articles published in the BVS and Pubmed databases in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, with the descriptors determinação de necessidades de cuidados de saúde, evaluacíon de necessidades, and needs assessment were submitted to thematic analysis. The results indicate that reflections on the concept of "health needs" are scarce in the literature. Moreover, the studies addressing the concept show a lack of conceptual definition, denoting a lack of uniformity in the theoretical understanding about this expression. The absence of a strictu sensu concept and the complexity of the factors involving the descriptor results in a diffuse use, with incipient problematization and, at times, convenient for the context used. ; Definir um conceito de necessidades em saúde é fundamental para estabelecer limites às intervenções médico-sanitárias, sejam individuais ou coletivas. Como muitas expressões de uso técnico corrente, há uma variação considerável dos sentidos atribuídos à expressão "necessidades de saúde". A hipótese que guiou este trabalho é de que a literatura especializada apresenta uma falta de rigor na definição e utilização do termo, o que constitui em si um problema ético e político, visto que pode reverberar em questões como alocação de recursos, na definição de estratégias e ações de um projeto terapêutico. Foi realizada uma análise temática em artigos publicados nas bases BVS e Pubmed em português, espanhol e inglês, com os respectivos descritores: determinação de necessidades de cuidados de saúde, evaluacíon de necessidades e needs assessment. Constatou-se que "necessidades de saúde" é um objeto pouco explorado numa perspectiva que envolva sua reflexão. Há uma ausência de definição conceitual nos trabalhos em que aparece, denotando uma falta de uniformidade no entendimento teórico acerca dessa expressão. A falta de um conceito strictu sensu e a complexidade dos fatores envolvendo o descritor resulta em um uso difuso, com problematização incipiente e, por vezes, conveniente ao contexto empregado.

Objective: To review the literature about the description of concepts and the use of scientific evidence in Public Health (PH). Methods: A narrative review was carried out using and combining the keywords "Public Health" OR "Collective Health"; "Evidence-based medicine" and "Evidence-informed policy" to consult the Lilacs, SciELO and MedLine databases. The searches were limited to articles published between January 1990 and December 2016 in Portuguese and/or English. The studies were selected by two independent authors who read the title, abstract and full text. For the synthesis process, the themes found were grouped into three main guiding axes: health evidence and practice, PH evidence, and the advances and challenges of Evidence-Informed Public Health (EIPH). Results: The findings of this review point out that decision making in PH is more complex than individual clinical decisions as it involves assessment of budgetary and political impacts, thus reinforcing the relevance of adopting evidence-informed practice in this field. Conclusion: The means of appropriation and use of evidence in the PH field are complex because they involve assumptions of plausibility and adequacy that are not always observed in individual interventions. Yet, the field benefits from the approach observed in EIPH and, particularly, in health decision making. ; Objetivo: Revisar en la literatura la descripción de los conceptos y el empleo de las evidencias científicas en el ámbito de la Salud Colectiva (SC). Métodos: Se realizó una revisión narrativa utilizando y mesclando las palabras-clave "Salud Pública" OR "Salud Colectiva"; "Medicina basada en la evidencia" AND "Política informada por evidencias" a través de la consulta en las bases de datos LILACS, SciELO y MEDLINE. Las búsquedas se han limitado al período entre enero de 1990 y diciembre de 2016 en los idiomas portugués y/o inglés. La selección de los estudios se dio por dos autores de modo independiente a través de la lectura del título, resumen y texto completo. Para el proceso ...

OBJECTIVE : To analyze humanization practices in primary health care in the Brazilian Unified Health System according to the principles of the National Humanization Policy. METHODS : A systematic review of the literature was carried out, followed by a meta-synthesis, using the following databases: BDENF (nursing database), BDTD (Brazilian digital library of theses and dissertations), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to nursing and allied health literature), LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean health care sciences literature), MedLine (International health care sciences literature), PAHO (Pan-American Health Care Organization Library) and SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). The following descriptors were used: Humanization; Humanizing Health Care; Reception: Humanized care: Humanization in health care; Bonding; Family Health Care Program; Primary Care; Public Health and Sistema Único de Saúde (the Brazilian public health care system). Research articles, case studies, reports of experiences, dissertations, theses and chapters of books written in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published between 2003 and 2011, were included in the analysis. RESULTS : Among the 4,127 publications found on the topic, 40 studies were evaluated and included in the analysis, producing three main categories: the first referring to the infrastructure and organization of the primary care service, made clear the dissatisfaction with the physical structure and equipment of the services and with the flow of attendance, which can facilitate or make difficult the access. The second, referring to the health work process, showed issues about the insufficient number of professionals, fragmentation of the work processes, the professional profile and responsibility. The third category, referring to the relational technologies, indicated the reception, bonding, listening, respect and dialog with the service users. CONCLUSIONS : Although many practices were cited as humanizing they do not produce changes in the health services because of the lack of more profound analysis of the work processes and ongoing education in the health care services. ; OBJETIVO : Analizar las prácticas de humanización en la asistencia básica de la red pública del sistema de salud brasileño basándose en los principios de la política nacional de humanización de Brasil. MÉTODOS : Se realizó la revisión sistemática de la literatura y a continuación la meta síntesis, usando las bases de datos: BDENF (Base de datos de enfermería), BDTD (Biblioteca digital brasileña de tesis y disertaciones), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to nursing and allied health literature), LILACS (Literatura Latino Americana y del Caribe en ciencias de la salud), MedLine (Literatura Internacional en ciencia de la salud), PAHO (Biblioteca de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). Se seleccionaron los siguientes descriptores de asunto: Humanización; Humanización de la Asistencia; Acogimiento; Cuidado humanizado; Humanización en salud; Vínculo; Programa de Salud de la Familia; Asistencia Básica; Salud Colectiva y Sistema Único de Salud. Para el análisis, se incluyeron artículos de investigación, estudios de caso, relatos de experiencias, disertaciones, tesis y capítulos de libros, escritos en idioma portugués, inglés o español, publicados de 2003 a 2011. RESULTADOS : De las 4.127 publicaciones recuperadas sobre el tema, se evaluaron e incluyeron 40, llegando a tres categorías centrales: la primera, infraestructura y organización de los servicios básicos de salud, evidenció insatisfacción con la estructura física y material y con los flujos de atención que pueden facilitar o dificultar el acceso. La segunda, se refiere al proceso de trabajo, que presentó aspectos relacionados con el número insuficiente de profesionales, fragmentación de los procesos de trabajo, perfil y responsabilidad profesional. La tercera, consistió en las tecnologías de las relaciones y señaló el acogimiento, vínculo, prestar atención, respeto y diálogo con los usuarios. CONCLUSIONES : A pesar de que muchas prácticas sean citadas como humanizadoras, no logran producir cambios en los servicios de salud por falta de un análisis más profundo de los procesos de trabajo y de una educación permanente en el servicio. ; OBJETIVO : Analisar as práticas de humanização na atenção básica na rede pública do sistema de saúde brasileiro com base nos princípios da política nacional de humanização do Brasil.
