This proposal consists of an epistemological theoretical study whose premise is to establish some discussions in reference to the subsidies proposed by discursive semiotics, based on its recent tense developments, notably through the analysis of ritual folkloristic practices. We propose to understand the meaning of the pre-Amazonian ritual discursive practices, having as its core the analysis of the Moqueado Festival, "WYRAU'HAW, Party of the young girl of the Tenetehara / Guajajara indigenous people", present in the pre-Amazon region. We also have, as theoretical bases, the notion of semiotic practices elaborated by Fontanille (2008), as well as the studies developed by Turner (2013) and Gennep (2013) about the social and symbolic particularities of the structural or meta-structural modality of social interrelation of the rite and celebration and ceremonial. We hope, through this study, to lay the foundations for the development of research that has been carried out in a semiotic context on folkloric practices, based on the study of the ritual liturgy of certain social practices.

The aim of this article is to relate theories of language to the study of religions, especially through the presentation of the epistemological framework of the Greimasian's semiotics of the French line. The theoretical article, when observing the recurrences of the mechanisms of construction of the sense of the texts, present in the statements of religious interpretation, effected by the semiotics, tries to draw a brief history of these studies, drawing some considerations about how the project of the semiotics regarding the treatment of statements of the languages of religion. Just as the area dealing with the languages of religion differs from proposals centered on the aspects of religious communication and aspects of media relations, based on the most elementary aspects of religion and language, so does the Greimasian's semiotics of which we work. When we take religion as a social practice, present in the tensional space of practices, we hope to contribute with the presentation of a differentiated epistemology regarding the treatment of the languages of religion.

We sought to examine the mechanisms of production of the effect of sense of emotional or passionate ritualistic practice of Catholic prayer. We set the following clipping Christian devotional prayer, the litany of Our Lady, also known as the Litany of Loreto. We propose, through a discourse analysis of clausal set some considerations about the structure and aspectual therefore passionately believing, taking into account the fiduciary aspect involved in this Catholic practice.

Because of the use in human feeding, animal, and high productive potential, corn is considered to be one of the most important cultivated and commercialized cereals in the world. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of different potassium doses and nitrogen in the activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase in the corn culture in a greenhouse environment. Five dosages of nitrogen (0; 50; 100; 150 and 200kg ha-1) and five potassium dosages (0; 40; 80; 120 and 160kg ha-1) were used. The activity of the nitrate reductase was esteemed, in vivo after the plants reached four leaves totally unfolded. The method that was used is based on the principle of the amount of nitrite liberated by fragments of alive tissue in a buffer in the presence of a permanent agent and substrate, reflects the potential in situ activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase. The activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase suffered significant influence of the f nitrogen and potassium dosage interaction, where the interaction N=100kg ha-1 and K=40kg ha-1 provided the best medium of the experiment. From this dosage on, the increase of nitrogen and potassium supplement caused a reduction of the enzymatic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The scope of this study was to elaborate and validate an assessment tool for Best Practices in School Food and Nutrition Units. For this purpose a survey was conducted in the city of Santos (São Paulo - Brazil), in two stages: 1) Preparation of a Checklist for Best Practices in School Food and Nutrition Units (BPAE checklist). 2) Validation of the BPAE checklist. This checklist was applied in 76 public schools along with two other reference checklists. Sensitivity and specificity were estimated using the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) Curve and the checklist was evaluated by application of the Likert scale. The thematic groups received weights to calculate the percentage of adequacy. After the application of the checklists in schools, the area under the curve value of 0.79 was found for the SS-196 checklist and 0.85 for the 542/2006 administrative checklist. These values indicate good suitability of the BPAE checklist to identify inadequacies, and it also received a positive assessment from the school food nutritionists. It proved that the checklist will assist in decision-making to ensure quality control. Once the BPAE checklist has been fully tested and validated it should prove an important tool for quality control in school nutrition.
