In this article we will present the first results of foreign-language acquisition verification tests performed by students of the Translation and Interpreting degree programme taught at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting (FTI) of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), which provide data on the level of their reading comprehension skills in their first and second foreign languages. The tests are chiefly intended to check whether pre-established language levels for the subjects that are part of the syllabus match those actually attained by students upon completion of the subjects in question. We will describe the test process, including the characteristics of the tests and how they are carried out, the characteristics of the sample studied, the instrument used, the results obtained and the trends observed. The ultimate purpose of the tests is to improve the training students receive, as the results obtained will serve as a basis for changing or correcting the different subjects’ initial and final reading comprehension skill levels and/or the approach taken by teaching staff, thus enabling us to better define progress in the acquisition of foreign-language reading comprehension skills.

This article analyzes continuities and changes in the patterns of associative participation in Brazil from two analytical perspectives: the dimension related to the volume and characteristics of the associative tissue, and the dimension of the size of the individual’s engagement in associations. The first presents the recent evolution of associativism in the country, measured by the quantity, profile and scope of associations. In the second, the evolution of participation on the level of individual engagement is considered through the assessment of the number of individuals who claim to take part in associations. This assessment is based on public opinion research data from the World Values Survey project and from Fundações Privadas e Associações Sem Fins Lucrativos no Brasil (FASFIL)/Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) and Profile of Social Society Organizations of Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA) reports. The data allows for the suggestion that, in the last decades, Brazil witnessed an important growth of associations founded – reflected in the greater internal diversification of this universe – while the number of engaged individuals did not follow this evolutionary growth. We suggest that the expansion of associativism was only selectively reflected in the level of individual engagement, and that the specific profile of associations that found growth-enhancing territory in the period, of a more professional nature, helps to understand the difference pointed out in the two dimensions.

This paper seeks to investigate the work of Alberto Torres focusing the rise of a governmental reason in Brazilian political thought, which is grounded on the logic of prevention and the shaping of a field of possible actions. Michel Foucault’s contribution on governmentality provides a theoretical frame to examine the author ́s understanding of modernization, it argues that the architecture of the State designed in A organização nacional and in O problema nacional brasileiro is inseparable from the making of the “homem novo” as an ethical subject capable of facing the risks of social life, what constitutes a landmark in the tradition of political and social thought. Thus, governmental reason is analyzed on the following aspects: the influence of slavery sociability on the conception of population, based on affection and community interactions; the reform of law and the conditions for the rule of opinion, fostering the government of perceptions; the place of racial politics and territorial settlement in the expansion of the state’s administrative capacity and in the regulation of human agency.

This article presents a feminist critique of the Brazilian film industry through the analysis of therepresentation of black women in the highest-grossing movies over the last years. Our effort is divided in three parts: first, we review the literature on gender and race in Brazilian film, showing that the interplay between these categories has been seldom explored and the few works that do it suffer from methodological flaws; then we make a descriptive quantitative analysis on the profile of the top-grossing movies produced in Brazil; and, finally, we propose a typology of stereotypes associated with black and brown female protagonists. The results allow us to conclude that black women are still severely underpresented and predominantly represented by negative stereotypes that convey oversexualization,mischievousness, and domesticity.

The Semantic Web presents a theoretical corpus and a range of technologies and applications that demonstrate its consistency, including in use of its concepts and its technologies in other scopes than the Web. In this sense, Big Data's projects can take advantage of the application of principles and developments in the area of the Semantic Web, to improve the processes of data analysis, especially in the insertion of semantic characteristics for data contextualization. Thus, this research aims to analyze and discuss the potential of Semantic Web technologies as a means of integrating and developing Big Data applications. An exploratory qualitative methodology was used, where we searched for points of the literature and documentary texts dealt with the convergence between the Semantic Web and the Big Data. Four main points were identified and discussed: the application of Linked Data as a data source for Big Data; the use of ontologies in data analysis; the use of Semantic Web technologies to promote interoperability in Big Data scenarios; and the use of machine learning to extract data automatically and convert them to Semantic Web standards. Therefore, it was possible to identify that the Semantic Web, especially with regard to its technologies, can help Big Data, since it provides a paradigm different from those applied mainly in data analysis.

Quando chega o Bispo: A igreja em Santa Catarina e o conturbado ano de 1914

The present text proposes a discussion of the conception drafted by Carlos Nelson Coutinho on the process of capitalism development in Brazil. For this purpose, the Bahian thinker makes use of two concepts, which he combines in a singular interpretive proposal: from the notion "Prussian way", as formulated by Lenin (and taken up by G. Lukács), to the concept of "passive revolution" as proposed by A. Gramsci. From that theoretical contribution, Coutinho investigates the "conservative" character of the development of capitalism in the country, endorsed by the alliance between the main sectors of the dominant classes (from the "old" to the "new"), which results in a wide rupture between nation and people. In this sense, we will make some considerations about the actuality of the Coutianian interpretative proposal for the understanding of contemporary Brazil.

The informational explosion, driven mainly by the massive use of Web 2.0 services, is seen as a challenge to the traditional conceptions of CRM, considering that the consumer starts to play an active role in the relationship with the company. In this context, Social CRM emerges, which is built on the integration of traditional Customer Relationship Management strategies with tools capable of retrieving, storing and analyzing information collected from social networks. Athwart a qualitative and applied research, this article pursues to grapple the concepts of the areas of customer relationship management, Social CRM and Web 2.0, enumerating the characteristics and benefits offered. The microservices architecture consists in a design pattern that implies the development of small services with well-defined tasks. Based on these definitions, it proposes a micro-service architecture for a Social CRM system, which, although applicable to the context in question, should be tested in order to determine whether it meets the proposed requirements, aiming to reach the desired performance and accuracy levels in analysis tasks.

The use of the Internet makes the data and information sharing happens in dialogical way, and agriculture is one of sectors that can obtain benefit from the use of this technology. The CoDAF Portal is a website that offer specialized contents in an agricultural domain such as publishing representations of agricultural data sources, to increase the data access for small farmers and other actors engaged in the theme. The aims of this research are to describe the process of collaborative construction of representations of Data sources on this website, pointing the mains actors and activities involved, and to identify elements of its framework, highlighting the informational needs that can be solved by the use of the referred data. The methodology was based on the Data Life Cycle as a model to systematize the informational flow studied. The result was a description of a set of attributes to define the framework of the representations, and the identification of the informational needs which can solved with the use of referenced data sources.

It presents the application of webometric technique between the connections into the web of the political parties with representation in the Federal Senate with aims to understand how each political party relates on the network. To that end, the methodology used was the quantitative method with the measurement of five indicators, in which the size of each political party's site and the search of two political parties were analyzed in a simple way, by Boolean operator and by website with Web mention. Among the results it was verified that all the political parties in study have connections in the web, that the search with Boolean operator filters more pages than a simple search. In relation to the size of the site, the PSDB is the one with the largest number of pages, as well as the one that most emits web mentions of the other political parties. Still in relation to the results, the Pearson’s coefficient Linear Correlation showed a very strong classification for the variables Size of the site confronted with received web Mentions and for simple Search confronted with Boolean Search. It is concluded that studies between information retrieval and webometric have correlation, as well as the connections of political parties
