RESUMO As representações culturais, para Risager (2007, p. 180), “transmitem imagens ou narrativas de cultura e sociedade em contextos específicos”, permitindo às pessoas trocar ideias relativas a pré-construídas sobre outras culturas. Na telecolaboração (que, O'Dowd (2013, 2016), refere-se à utilização tecnologias digitais no contexto aulas línguas estrangeiras geograficamente distantes), cult...

The fundamental cause of the errors of samples of rocks and minerals collected by geologists for evaluation of mining projects is heterogeneity of the sampled materials (Gy, 1982; Francois-Bongarcon, 1993; Pitard, 1993). Constitution heterogeneity and distribution heterogeneity (Pitard, 1993) both are important and cause geological sampling errors. The more heterogeneous the sampled material th...

I compare our understanding selected topics in Multiparticle Dynamics at this meeting to what we knew at the 1983 Multiparticle Dynamics Symposium. I also discuss rapidity gap physics, a subject that has developed in the years since 1983.

This paper uses a meta-Malmquist index for measuring productivity change of the water industry in England and Wales and compares this to the traditional Malmquist index. The meta-Malmquist index computes productivity change with reference to a meta-frontier, it is computationally simpler and it is circular. The analysis covers all 22 UK water companies in existence in 2007, using data over the ...

OBJECTIVES First, we describe trends in characteristics of suicidal events using new (2011-2012) and previous (1993-1995, 2000-2001 and 2007-2008) data reported by the Belgian Network of Sentinel General Practices (SGP); second, we examine patient age-related trends in on-site attendance of sentinel general practitioners (GPs) as first professional caregivers following suicidal behaviour; third...

Seroepidemiology of chlamydia can offer study opportunities and insights into cumulative risk of exposure that may contribute to monitoring the frequency of, and control of, genital chlamydia-the most commonly diagnosed STI in England. We undertook retrospective anonymous population-based cross-sectional surveys using an indirect IgG ELISA for chlamydia Pgp3 antibody. Sera from 4,732 women aged...
