The relevance of the work surfaces from the influence that the cultural production, directed towards the mass exerts has in the setting of ideologies and the maintenance of the legal institutions as source of coordination of the conviviality in society. Through the analysis of the simulacrum of judgments personified in the films and it focus on the tension between justice and law, the work reconstructs the different impressions of reality produced by our senses and discuss how the reception of this effect of sense of justice is made by the spectator. Considering that the central problematic of the work was the analysis of the sense produced in the films, it was proved that the methodology of the gerative course of sense based on the Discursive Semiotics from Algirdas Julien Greimas and its collaborators, would be of great use as a source for our investigation process. We privilege as selected corpus, the deconstruction of the films, displaying sequences that summarized the essence of all the sense of the text, those were occur the description of the legal facts in ponder and its developments until the outcome of the workmanship. The selection and cuts of the research corpus uses as parameters: the similarity of themes between the pictures, corroborating with the proposal of scientific interdisciplinary; the production s reach (public); the model of construction; the explicit invariable aspects and dissimilarities in the discursive level between the films. For this reason, the searched corpus is composed by the films A Few Good Men (Questão de Honra, 1992), And Justice for All (Justiça para Todos, 1979) and Primal Fear (Duas Faces de um Crime, 1996), Sacco e Vanzetti (Sacco e Vanzetti, 1971). By the film analyses, for the effect of sense of justice, the category of just must became a evidence of the truth inside the legal procedure. Moreover, it was observed that, independent of the effect of sense of justice enunciated in the basic level, the values that the social ordinance always keeps are gifts / O presente estudo investiga a construção de efeitos de sentido de justiça nos filmes hollywoodianos com temática de julgamento. A relevância do trabalho surge da influência que a produção cultural voltada para a massa exerce na fixação de ideologias e na manutenção das instituições jurídicas como fonte de coordenação do convívio em sociedade. A partir do simulacro de julgamentos reproduzidos pelos filmes, focando na tensão entre justiça e direito, o trabalho revela a construção das diferentes impressões de realidade produzidas pelos nossos sentidos, discutindo como se dá a recepção desses efeitos de sentido de justiça. Uma vez que a problemática central do trabalho foi a análise da produção de sentido nos filmes, evidenciouse a necessidade de se estudar o percurso gerativo de sentido. Assim, a pesquisa teve como fundamento o arcabouço teórico e metodológico da Semiótica Discursiva, proposto por Algirdas Julien Greimas e seus colaboradores. Privilegiamos neste estudo, para a análise do corpus selecionado, a desconstrução dos filmes, elencando a sequência fílmica que resumisse a essência do todo de sentido do texto, aquela em que se tem uma descrição dos fatos jurídicos em discussão e seu desenvolvimento até o desfecho da obra. A seleção e recorte do corpus de pesquisa teve como parâmetros: a temática semelhante entre os filmes, corroborando com a proposta de interdisciplinariedade científica; o alcance da produção; o modelo de construção; as invariantes e dessemelhanças explícitas no nível discursivo entre os filmes. Dessa forma, o corpus pesquisado compreende os filmes Questão de honra (A Few Good Men, 1992), Justiça para todos (... And Justice for All, 1979) e Duas faces de um crime (Primal Fear, 1996) Hollywood e Sacco e Vanzetti (Sacco e Vanzetti, 1971). Por meio das análises fílmicas, atestou-se que, para o efeito de sentido de justiça, o justo deve estar ligado à evidência da verdade dentro do procedimento legal. Além disso, observou-se que, independente do efeito de sentido de justiça enunciado, no nível fundamental os valores que mantém a ordenação social sempre estão presentes

MSCAGR (Animal Science) / Department of Animal Science / The objective of the study was to determine the effects of fertilisation with bio-digester slurry and the inclusion of carbohydrate additives at ensiling on the fermentation characteristics, chemical composition, ruminal degradability, and in vitro digestibility of Napier grass silage. Napier grass planted at the School of Agriculture Experimental Farm, University of Venda in 5 m x 4 m plots replicated three times in a completely randomised design and was irrigated with either biodigester slurry or no bio-digester slurry (tap water) for a period of 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, the Napier was freshly cut and ensiled for 90 days in 1 litre glass jars in a 2 (Control - tap water and slurry irrigation) x 4 (No additive, molasses, maize meal and brown sugar) factorial arrangement. Fermentation quality and nutritive composition were determined using standard protocols. The dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) ruminal degradability was determined in sacco by incubating feed samples in nylon bags (external dimension: 6 × 12 cm, pore size of 46 μm) in the rumen in three Bonsmara steers fitted with rumen cannulae for 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours (h). Parameters to describe the dynamics of ruminal degradability of DM and CP were obtained by fitting the data on the exponential equation P = a + b (1 - e-ct) using the NEWAY computer program, where “a” is the rapidly degradable fraction, “b” is the slowly degradable fraction and “c” is the outflow rate. The in vitro DM and CP degradability of rumen undegradable residue collected after 12, 24 and 48 h incubation was determined by sequential digestion in pepsin (abomasal) and pancreatin (small intestine) solutions. Fertilisation with bio-digester slurry increased (P <0.05) CP content of fresh cut Napier grass pre-ensilage. Bio-digester slurry fertilisation with molasses inclusion improved (P <0.05) the silage DM content which improved (P >0.05) fermentation characteristics with pH of 4.2 and lowest NH3-N of 13.3 g/kg. Other chemical compositions and fermentation characteristics were not affected (P >0.05) due to fertilisation x additives treatment combinations. No bio-digester slurry fertilisation with maize meal inclusion increased (P <0.01) DM degradability at 0 h incubation. As time progressed to 24 h, no biodigester slurry fertilisation with no additive included reduced (P <0.01) DM degradability with no difference (P >0.05) on other treatments. Potential DM degradability (a + b) of no bio-digester slurry fertilisation with no additive inclusion silage was reduced (P <0.01). The reduction was associated with low levels (P <0.01) of slowly degradable fraction “b”. In vitro DM and CP digestibility were not affected (P >0.05) due to fertilisation x additives treatment combinations. In conclusion, bio-digester slurry application improved the quality of fresh cut Napier grass, with the combination of bio-digester slurry fertilisation and molasses addition yielding the best silage quality.
