Copa do Mundo de Futebol 2014. Partindo da hip?tese de que conceptualizar consiste em um processo mental que possibilita ordenar e dar sentido ao mundo por meio das experi?ncias perceptuais e sociais de cada ser num determinado ambiente, faz-se necess?rio recorrer ?s no??es de categoriza??o (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1999), Modelos Cognitivos Idealizados ? esquemas de imagem (JOHNSON, 1987; LAKOFF, 1987), modelos proposicionais (LAKOFF, 1987) e modelos meton?micos e metaf?ricos (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1980; LAKOFF, 1987; FELTES, 2007) ? e infer?ncias (LAKOFF, 1993). Para a realiza??o deste estudo, o corpus selecionado ? composto por 15 (quinze) textos elaborados por alunos da 2? s?rie do Ensino M?dio noturno de uma escola da rede p?blica estadual, situada em Natal/RN. Tendo em vista o referencial te?rico e a natureza dos dados, adota-se a metodologia qualitativa (CASSEL; SYMON, 1994; GOLDENBERG, 1999) apoiada no paradigma da introspec??o (TALMY, 2005), que parte das percep??es individuais do pesquisador diante de um objeto a ser estudado. A partir da an?lise, atesta-se que a intera??o entre os elementos verbais e visuais dispostos nas charges atuam como guias de sentido e envolvem diversas percep??es ancoradas nos saberes individuais e partilhados entre os alunos. Verifica-se ainda nas produ??es textuais que alguns alunos ultrapassam o entendimento das pistas fornecidas pelos textos multimodais, evidenciando a import?ncia dos Modelos Cognitivos Idealizados (LAKOFF, 1987) na fundamenta??o desta pesquisa. Dessa maneira, ratifica-se o pressuposto cognitivista de que a conceptualiza??o e, consequentemente, a constru??o de infer?ncias s?o atividades cognitivas complexas que envolvem experi?ncias corp?reas e sociais. / This study is based on the theoretical principles of Cognitive Linguistics and aims to investigate how conceptualization processes take place as students read cartoons related to the 2014 Football World Cup. Assuming that conceptualizing consist of mental processe that allow the organization and understanding of the world through each subject?s perceptual and social experiences in a particular environment, it is necessary to resort to categorization notions (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1999), Idealized Cognitive Models - imagetic schemes (JOHNSON, 1987; LAKOFF, 1987), propositional models (LAKOFF, 1987) and metonymic and metaphoric models (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1980; LAKOFF, 1987; FELTES, 2007) - and inferences (LAKOFF, 1993). For this study, the selected corpus is composed of fifteen (15) texts produced by 2nd grade students attending a night class in a public high school, located in Natal / RN. Given the theoretical framework and the nature of the data, a qualitative methodology is adopted (CASSEL; SYMON, 1994; GOLDENBERG, 1999) supported by introspection analysis (TALMY, 2005), departing from the researcher?s individual perceptions about an object to be studied. Based on the analysis, we verify that the interaction between verbal and visual elements arranged in cartoons act as guides in meaning making and involve different perceptions rooted in individual and shared knowledge among students. Moreover, the textual productions reveal that some students go beyond the understanding of the clues provided by the multimodal texts, highlighting the importance of Idealized Cognitive Models (LAKOFF, 1987) in the grounds of this research. Thus, it confirms the cognitivist assumption that the conceptualization and hence the construction of inferences are complex cognitive activities that involve embodied and social experiences.

J? existe uma distribui??o espec?fica, conhecida como Distribui??o de Valores Extremos Generalizada (GEV), desenvolvida para predizer e prevenir tais acontecimentos. Entretanto, em muitas situa??es com dados extremos, existem a presen?a de zeros excessivos no banco de dados, dificultando a an?lise e a precis?o na estima??o. A Distribui??o Inflada de Zeros (ZID) ? recomendada para fazer a modelagem desses dados que apresentam zeros inflacionados. ? objetivo deste trabalho criar uma nova distribui??o para modelar dados de valores extremos e inflados de zeros. Portanto, foi realizado uma mistura das distribui??es GEV e ZID, e tamb?m feito uma abordagem Bayesiana, na busca de obter um melhor ajuste em aplica??es com dados de m?ximos inflacionados de zeros. Foram escolhidas para an?lises, a precipita??o di?ria de chuvas na cidade de Natal do estado do Rio Grande do Norte e nas cidades de Paulistana, Picos, S?o Jo?o do Piau? e Teresina do estado do Piau?. Foi utilizado tamb?m a distribui??o GEV padr?o para modelar estes mesmos dados coletados, a t?tulo de compara??o, e assim, por meio de medidas e estima??es feitas pelas duas distribui??es, verificar a qualidade do ajuste encontrado pela nova distribui??o de Valores Extremos Inflados de Zeros (IGEV). Logo, verificou-se que o modelo foi bem desenvolvido, conseguindo estimar bem os dados de m?ximos, mesmo uma quantidade excessiva de zeros, sendo que a GEV padr?o n?o conseguiu encontrar a distribui??o de equil?brio quando os dados dados possuem muitos zeros. Al?m disso, quando os dados de valores extremos n?o tem zeros inflacionados, o novo modelo converge para a GEV padr?o, identificando a aus?ncia dos zeros. / Extreme events are usually responsible for producing big gains or big losses to society. There is already a specific distribution, known as Generalized Extreme Values Distribution (GEV), developed to predict and prevent such events. However, in many situations with extreme data, there are the presence of excessive zeros in the database, making analysis difficult and difficult to estimate. Influenced Zero Distribution (ZID) is recommended to model such data that has inflated zeros. It is the objective of this work to create a new distribution to model data of extreme and inflated values of zeros. Therefore, a mixture of the GEV and ZID distributions was made, as well as a Bayesian approach, in order to obtain a better fit in applications with data of inflated maximums of zeros. The daily precipitation of rainfall in the city of Natal in the state of Rio Grande do Norte and in the cities of Paulistana, Picos, S?ao Jo?ao do Piau?? and Teresina in the state of Piau?? were chosen for analysis. It was also used the standard GEV distribution to model the same data collected by way of comparison, and thus, through measurements and estimates made by the two distributions, to verify the quality of the adjustment found by the new distribution of Extremes Inflated Zeros Values (IGEV). Therefore, it was verified that the model was well developed, being able to estimate well the maximum data, even an excessive amount of zeros, and the standard GEV could not find the equilibrium distribution when the data given have many zeros. In addition, when the data of extreme values does not have inflated zeros, the new model converges to the standard GEV, identifying the absence of zeros.

Por?m, ? preciso que se assinale um olhar para a pessoa e suas sensa??es, promovendo a intensifica??o do conhecimento de si e provocando transforma??es emp?ticas. O imbricamento mundo/ser pressup?e a experi?ncia estesiol?gica, permite pensar nas experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento como tais e formular reflex?es voltadas para uma educa??o que compreenda essas condi??es. Nas experi?ncias vividas na Gin?stica R?tmica (GR), esse estudo encontra seu locus investigativo. Para tanto, apresenta os seguintes objetivos: investigar experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento na GR, a partir da descri??o e interpreta??o do vivido; compreender os limiares entre as experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento na GR; refletir sobre as experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento como enigma do corpo e; estabelecer rela??es entre as experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento e a Educa??o. Essa pesquisa amplia as possibilidades de pensar a educa??o que n?o nega as sensa??es como foco e repensa o lugar da dor e do sofrimento de modo a relativiz?-las em favor dos limites individuais das sensa??es e das rela??es emp?ticas. A fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty traz o m?todo e a ancoragem te?rica definindo a trajet?ria da escrita metaforizada pelo processo artesanal e art?stico de elabora??o de uma filigrana. A tese se estrutura em quatro cap?tulos: no Cap?tulo 1, intitulado ?CONTORNOS?, a GR ? situada em sua liga??o com a historicidade da Educa??o F?sica e dos Esportes, as vincula??es entre a hist?ria cultural da dor e a disciplina e o corpo estesiol?gico como campo. No Cap?tulo 2, denominado ?FIOS?, fazemos a descri??o das experi?ncias de forma a entremear a autobiografia, relatos de ex-ginastas da Sele??o Brasileira de Conjuntos de GR e narrativas constantes na obra Escola de Campe?s. O Cap?tulo 3, de nome ?TESSITURA ? Filamentos de interpreta??o?, refere-se ?s interpreta??es da GR que remetem a dor dos corpos gin?sticos rasgados pelas les?es, ao sofrimento gerado pelo enquadramento aos modelos de corpos e gestos e ?s situa??es vividas que tamb?m s?o percebidas como um limiar entre dores e sofrimentos apontado pelas ex-ginastas. O quarto e ?ltimo cap?tulo ? intitulado ?CORES ? Educa??o como enigma?, as interpreta??es, nesse momento da tese, a partir dos campos de sentido emergidos, tomam a forma de reflex?es sobre a educa??o. Por fim, considera-se que as sensa??es do corpo, inclu?das nas experi?ncias de dor e sofrimento s?o pot?ncias transformadoras e se configuram como consequentes conting?ncias existenciais encarnadas em um mundo real, recheado de contrastes, prazeres, desprazeres, gozos e desgra?as. N?o ? poss?vel negar as sensa??es do corpo porque fazer isso significa negar a pessoa. Ao contr?rio, ? preciso educar quem sente para sentir, pois uma educa??o centrada na estesiologia s? pode ser enigma, pois jamais poder? precisar o que pode o corpo. / In this thesis, it is affirmed that there is education in the experiences of pain and suffering, because they are configured as contingencies of an aesthesiological body. However, it is necessary to point a glance to the person and his sensations, promoting the intensification of self-knowledge and provoking empathic transformations. The overlapping world/to be presupposes the aesthesiologic experience, it allows us to think on the experiences of pain and suffering as such and to formulate reflections directed towards an education that understands these conditions. In the experiences of Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG), this study finds its research locus. To do so, it has the following objectives: to investigate experiences of pain and suffering in RG, based on the description and interpretation of the experience; to understand the thresholds between the experiences of pain and suffering in the RG; to reflect on the experiences of pain and suffering as the enigma of the body and; to establish relationships between the experiences of pain and suffering and Education. This research expands the possibilities of thinking on education that does not deny sensations as focus and rethinks the place of pain and suffering in order to relativize them in favor of individual limits of feelings and empathic relationships. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology brings the method and the theoretical anchorage defining the trajectory of metaphorized writing by the artisanal and artistic process of elaborating a filigree. The thesis is structured in four chapters: in Chapter 1, entitled ?CONTOURS?, the RG is situated in its connection with the historicity of Physical Education and Sports, the linkages between the cultural history of pain and the discipline and the aesthesiological body as a field of experiences. In Chapter 2, called ?WIRES?, we describe the experiences in order to interweave the autobiography, reports of ex-gymnasts of the Brazilian Team of RG and constant narratives in the book School of Champions. Chapter 3, entitled ?TESSITURA ? Filaments of interpretation?, refers to the interpretations of RG that refer to the pain of gymnastic bodies torn by the lesions, the suffering generated by the adaptation to the models of bodies and gestures and the lived situations that are also perceived as a threshold between pain and suffering pointed by the former gymnasts. The fourth and final chapter is entitled ?COLORS ? Education as a puzzle?, the interpretations, at this point in the thesis, from the fields of emerged senses, take the form of reflections about education. Finally, it is considered that the sensations of the body, included in the experiences of pain and suffering, are transforming powers and are configured as consequential existential contingencies embodied in a real world, full of contrasts, pleasures, displeasures, joys and misfortunes. It is not possible do deny the sensations of the body because to do this means denying the person. On the contrary, it is necessary to educate who feels to feel, because an education centered in the aesthesiology can only be enigma, because it will never be able to specify what the body can.

Assumindo uma perspectiva funcional, a pesquisa fundamenta-se te?rico-metodologicamente na Lingu?stica (Funcional) Centrada no Uso (LFCU), nos termos de Martelotta (2011) e Furtado da Cunha, Bispo e Silva (2013). Essa abordagem re?ne pressupostos da Lingu?stica Funcional norte-americana, tal como definida por Giv?n (1979, 1995, 2011), Hopper (1991), Bybee (2010, 2011) e Traugott (2011), e da Lingu?stica Cognitiva, representada por Lakoff (1987), Langacker (1987), Lakoff e Johnson (1999). Ademais, agregamos contribui??es da Gram?tica de Constru??es, representada por Goldberg (1995), Croft (2001) e Traugott e Trousdale (2013). Os dados utilizados para a an?lise foram retirados do Corpus Discurso & Gram?tica, se??es Natal (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998) e Rio de Janeiro, (VOTRE; OLIVEIRA, 1995), composto de textos orais e escritos, e de textos de diversos g?neros extra?dos do jornal Tribuna do Norte, produzido no Rio Grande do Norte. A pesquisa apresenta uma abordagem de vi?s quali-quantitativo, com predomin?ncia do primeiro. Possui tamb?m car?ter descritivo e explicativo. Com base nos resultados, identificamos que a constru??o em estudo representa um esquema abstrato que licencia diferentes microestruturas com base no preenchimento do slot SN, as quais apresentam especificidades sem?ntico-cognitivas e discursivo-pragm?ticas. Al?m disso, constatamos que o n?cleo do slot X pode apresentar-se preenchido por um SN (lexical ou pronominal) ou por uma ora??o. Tamb?m verificamos que, al?m de causa e explica??o, esse padr?o construcional est? relacionado a um cont?nuo de outros sentidos, que envolve as ideias de motivo, raz?o e justificativa. / We investigate, in this work the causal-explanatory construction [POR + SN + DE + X] in functional perspective. We discuss the traditional (difficulty of) distinction between cause and explanation, proposing to have a continuum between these two relations. Our aim was to examine it in order to identify formal and functional properties, considering its instances of use in real communication situations, and propose a continuum of related meanings. Approaching a functional perspective, the research is based on theoretically-methodologically in the Use- oriented linguist (Functional) LFCU, according to Martelotta (2011) and Furtado da Cunha, Bispo and Silva (2013). This approach assumes the assumptions of North American Functional Linguistics, as defined by Giv?n (1979, 1995, 2011), Hopper (1991), Bybee (2010, 2011) and Traugott (2011), and Cognitive Linguistics, represented by Lakoff 1987), Langacker (1987), Lakoff and Johnson (1999). In addition, some contributions from the Grammar of Constructions, represented by Goldberg (1995), Croft (2001) and Traugott and Trousdale (2013). The data used for the analysis were taken from the Corpus Discurso & Gram?tica, sections Natal (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998) and Rio de Janeiro, (VOTRE; OLIVEIRA, 1995), composed of oral and written texts, and texts of several genres extracted from newspaper Tribuna do Norte, produced in Rio Grande do Norte. The research presents a qualitative-quantitative approach, with a predominance of the first one. It also has a descriptive and explanatory feature. Based on the results, it was identified that the framing under study represents an abstract scheme that licenses different microstructures based on the filling of the SN slot, which present semantic-cognitive and discursive-pragmatic specificities. In addition, it was found that the core of slot X can be filled by a SN (lexical or pronominal) or by a sentence. Besisdes that it was verified that, beyond to cause and explanation, this constructional pattern is related to a continuum of other senses, which involves the ideas of motive, reason, and justification.

Uma t?cnica muito utilizada ? o agrupamento de dados, cujo objetivo ? extrair conhecimento dos dados atrav?s da divis?o de entidades em subconjuntos homog?neos e/ou bem separados. Crit?rios podem ser utilizados para expressar a classifica??o dos dados. Dentre eles, um crit?rio frequentemente utilizado ? a soma m?nima das dist?ncias euclidianas quadr?ticas, do ingl?s, minimun sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC). Neste crit?rio, entidades s?o elementos no espa?o n-dimensional. O problema de agrupamento de dados pelo MSSC ? NP-?rduo, logo heur?sticas s?o t?cnicas extremamente ?teis para este tipo de problema. Este trabalho prop?e novas heur?sticas, baseadas na busca de vizinhan?as vari?veis gerais, do ingl?s, general variable neighborhood search (GVNS). Tamb?m ? proposto neste trabalho, a adapta??o da heur?stica reformulation descent (RD) para o problema MSSC, na forma de duas variantes, de forma in?dita na literatura. Os experimentos computacionais mostram que as variantes GVNS propostas neste trabalho apresentam melhores resultados, para inst?ncias grandes. / Due to the large volume of data generated by the growth of applications that provide new information, both in volume and variety, more efficient techniques are required to classify and processes them. A widely used technique is data grouping whose aim is to extract characteristics of the entities dividing them into homogeneous and/or well separated subsets. Many different criteria can be used to express the data classification. Among them, a commonly used criteria is the minimun sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC). In this criterion, entities are elements in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The data clustering problem by MSSC is NP-hard, then heuristics are extremely useful techniques for this type of problem. This work proposes new heuristics, based on the general variable neighborhood search (GVNS). Also proposed in this work is the adaptation of the heuristic reformulation descent (RD) to the MSSC problem, in the form of two variants, unapplied to this problem before in literature. The computational experiments show that the GVNS variants proposed in this work present better results, in large instances, than the current state of the art.

The molecular chaos hypothesis was generalized in order to capture the strong statistical correlations between the relativistic distributions functions. The positiveness of the source of entropy leads to thermodynamical constraint on the entropic parameter, q 2 [0; 2]. It was also proven that the collisional equilibrium states (null entropy source term) are described by the relativistic q power law extension of the exponential Juttner distribution which reduces, in the nonrelativistic domain, to the Tsallis power law function. All results provide to the standard ones in the extensive limit (q = 1), thereby showing that the Tsallis framework is compatible with the issues addresed in the special relativity theory.

A hip?tese adotada ? que os verbos de movimento constituem uma classe de verbos heterog?nea, cujas subclasses apresentam caracter?sticas pr?prias. A pesquisa segue uma abordagem cognitivo-funcional da linguagem, por reconhecer as contribui??es dadas tanto por linguistas funcionais como Talmy Giv?n, Paul Hopper, Sandra Thompson, quanto por linguistas cognitivos como Michael Tomasello, George Lakoff, entre outros. Os dados foram retirados de duas fontes: (i) Corpus Discurso & Gram?tica: a l?ngua falada e escrita na cidade do Natal (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998); (ii) not?cias publicadas em s?tios eletr?nicos. As ora??es com verbos de movimento encontradas nesses textos foram submetidos ?s seguintes an?lises: (i) classifica??o desses verbos, de acordo com a vis?o tradicional de transitividade; (ii) distin??o dos tipos sem?nticos dos verbos de acordo com a proposta de Borba (1996); (iii) identifica??o dos pap?is sem?nticos dos argumentos dos verbos de acordo Giv?n (2001), Andrews (1985) e Can?ado (2005); (iv) an?lise dos tra?os sem?nticos presentes no significado do verbo em conformidade com Talmy (1985); (v) an?lise do status informacional dos argumentos nominais dos verbos de movimento pela proposta de Prince (1981); (vi) aferi??o do grau de transitividade das ora??es segundo a proposta de Hopper e Thompson (1980); (vii) averigua??o da adequa??o das ora??es ?s restri??es da estrutura argumental preferida; e (viii) retomada dos par?metros estudados que favorecem uma categoriza??o dos verbos de movimento. Esta pesquisa revelou que os verbos estudados n?o constituem uma categoria uniforme, sendo poss?vel definir subclasses com caracter?sticas semelhantes entre si. As diferen?as entre os verbos de diferentes subclasses se deram de duas formas: (i) uma classe apresenta um par?metro e as outras n?o; (ii) todas as subclasses apresentam o mesmo par?metro com intensidade diferente. / This work aims to study motion verbs and its purpose is to analyze the syntacticsemantic and discursive-pragmatic status of the clauses in which they occur. The hypothesis adopted is that the motion verbs constitute a class of heterogeneous verbs, whose subgroups have their own characteristics. The research follows a cognitive-functional approach to language by recognizing the contributions of both functional linguists such as Talmy Giv?n, Paul Hopper, Sandra Thompson, and cognitive linguists such as Michael Tomasello, George Lakoff, and others. Data were taken from two sources: (i) Corpus Discurso & Gram?tica: a l?ngua falada e escrita na cidade do Natal (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998); (ii) News published in websites. The sentences with motion verbs found in these texts were submitted to the following analyzes: (i) Classification of these verbs, according to the traditional view of transitivity; (ii) Distinction of the semantic types of the verbs according to the Borba?s (1996) proposal; (iii) Identification of the semantic roles of the verbal arguments according to Giv?n (2001), Andrews (1985) and Can?ado (2005); (iv) Analysis of the semantic features present in the verb's meaning according to Talmy (1985); (v) Analysis of the informational status of the nominal arguments of motion verbs by Prince's proposal (1981); (vi) Measurement of the transitivity degree of the clauses according to the proposal of Hopper and Thompson (1980); (vii) Ascertaining the adequacy of the sentences to the constraints of the preferred argument structure; and (viii) Review of the studied parameters favoring a categorization of movement verbs. This research revealed that the verbs studied do not constitute a uniform category, being possible to define subclasses with characteristics similar to each other. The differences between motion verbs occurred in two ways: (i) One group has one parameter and the other does not; (ii) All subclasses have the same parameter with different intensity.

Em linhas gerais, a terceira lei afirma que, para sistemas com estados fundamentais n?o degenerados em equil?brio, a entropia se aproxima de zero conforme a temperatura (em escala absoluta) tamb?m se aproxima de zero. No entanto, a entropia pode desaparecer apenas com a temperatura no zero absoluto. Neste contexto, propomos um procedimento anal?tico direto para testar se uma entropia generalizada satisfaz a terceira lei, assumindo apenas uma forma geral de entropia S e energia U de um sistema de N n?veis cl?ssico arbitr?rio. Matematicamente, o m?todo depende do c?lculo exato do par?metro _ = dS=dU em termos das probabilidades de microestados pi. Finalmente, determinamos a rela??o entre o limite m?nino da entropia S ! 0 (ou, mais geral, S ! Smin) e o limite m?nimo de temperatura _ ! 1. A n?vel de compara??o, aplicamos o m?todo para as entropias de Boltzmann-Gibbs (modelo padr?o), Kaniadakis e Tsallis (modelos generalizados). Para as duas ?ltimas, ilustramos o poder do m?todo calculando os intervalos dos par?metros entr?picos em que a entropia satisfaz a terceira lei. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que, para a _-entropia, os valores usualmente atribu?dos ao par?metro _ satisfazem a terceira lei ( - 1 < _ < 1). Entretanto, para a q-entropia o mesmo n?o ocorre. Mostramos que, a q-entropia pode desaparecer a temperaturas diferentes de zero para certos valores de q. Como exemplo concreto, consideramos o modelo de Ising unidimensional com intera??es de primeiros vizinhos, o qual ? um dos mais importantes modelos em toda a f?sica. Classicamente, o modelo de Ising ? resolvido por meio do ensemble can?nico, por?m ele tamb?m pode ser resolvido por meio de ensembles generalizados. / Based on the third law of Thermodynamics we ask whether or not generalized entropies satisfy this fundamental property. The third law states that the entropy approaches zero as the temperature (in absolute scale) also approaches zero. However, the entropy can vanish only at absolute zero temperature. In this context, we propose a direct analytical procedure to test if the generalized entropy satisfies the third law, assuming only very general assumptions for the entropy S and energy U of an arbitrary N-level classical system. Mathematically, the method relies on exact calculation of the parameter _ = dS=dU in terms of the microstate probabilities pi. Finally, we determine the relation between the low entropy limit S ! 0 (or more generally Smin) and the low-temperature limit _ ! +1. For comparison, we apply the method to the entropy Boltzmann (standard model), and Kaniadakis Tsallis (generalized models). For the latter two, we illustrate the power of the method by unveiling the ranges of their parameters for which the third law is satisfied. For _-entropy, the values usually assumed in the literature to _ parameter obeys the third law ( - 1 < _ < 1). However, for the q-entropy the same is not true. We show that the q-entropy can vanish at nonzero temperature in certain ranges of q. These results and their consequences are discussed in this thesis. As a concrete example, we consider the paradigmatic one-dimensional Ising model, which is one of the most important models in all of physics. Classically, the Ising model is solved in the canonical ensemble, but it can also solved exactly in nonstandard ensembles using generalized entropies.
