Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Jorge Luis Borges's story "El Zahir" describes a moment where the protagonist finds rest from his monomania by reworking one of the central texts in Old Germanic myth, the story of Sigurd and Brynhild. The approach taken here by the protagonist is the paradigm used in this thesis for understanding Borges's own strong readings of Old Germanic literature, specifically Old Scandinavian texts. In chapter one, a brief outline of the myth of Sigurd and Brynhild, with a particular emphasis on Gram, the sword that lied between them, is provided and juxtaposed with Borges's own family history, focusing on the family's storied military past. This image of the sword as the symbol for the north and its relation to Borges's family and political interests is sustained throughout the thesis. Chapter two is a survey of the various facets of Borges's literary output that were influenced by Nordic myth and literary styles: first, literary criticism, second, poetry and prose, and third, translation. The survey shows that Borges's engagement with the north began early and was maintained throughout his life. Likewise, after working through seven works from disparate periods it becomes clear that Borges is not merely introducing the Spanish speaking world to Old Scandinavian texts, but, in the same fashion as the protagonist in "El Zahir," subsuming them in a way that is uniquely Borgesian. The third chapter follows the same approach as the survey but focuses on Borges's short stories, specifically two short stories from his collection entitled Libro de Arena: "Ulrica" and "Undr." Many of the conclusions that emerged in the survey are further validated in the analysis of these two stories, but with greater emphasis on how they relate to Borges's later years, and the themes that begin to surround his preparation for death. The concluding chapter summarizes the findings of the previous three chapters by way of a close reading of Borges's tombstone. Each aspect of the stone is connected to Old Germanic myth and how that symbolized the eventual consummation of his joy: the sword that kept him separated from love was eventually lifted, as it was for Ulrica and Javier in "Ulrica."

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study examines how the archaeological finds from the medieval fortress Aranæs in Västergötland can confirm, change, add to, or contradict written sources regarding Aranæs and medieval fortresses in general. The study will focus on comparing medieval archaeological finds from Aranæs with written sources concerning medieval fortresses and Aranæs in order to find similarities or differences in the materials. The purpose of this essay is primarily to find out how archaeological finds can be linked to written sources to confirm potential events that may have taken place at Aranæs. This study also focuses on the role of archaeology in relation to written sources in order to study the everyday lives of our previous generations at medieval fortresses through the field of Medieval Archaeology. The primary historical written sources regarding Aranæs are the chronicle of Duke Erik and History of the Nordic peoples by Olaus Magnus which will be compared to three available archaeological reports concerning Aranæs. The various finds from Aranæs can together with written sources contribute with knowledge regarding a potential fire, military functions, care of animals, diet, religion, trade and economy, as well as remains of a previous fortress on the site.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
We tested the adequacy of standard 30 m riparian buffers for semi-aquatic vertebrate species, using the boreal toad (Bufo boreas boreas) as an example. We monitored toad populations in south-central Utah using radio telemetry during the summers of 2003 and 2004. We found 30 m buffers inadequate for protecting boreal toads and suggest this is likely true for other species as well. Managers must consider several factors when constructing buffers: (1) Buffer requirements may vary by time of year. While we located toads most often in wet habitats, toads commonly utilized upland habitats in late summer, occasionally at distances greater than 100 m from water. (2) A single year's observation may not be sufficient to establish adequate buffers. Toads moved into upland habitats more often and at greater distances from water (> or = 30 m) during the wetter, cooler weather conditions of 2004 than in 2003. (3) Buffer requirements may differ by sex. Male toads appeared to have stronger selection for wetland habitats than females. Females moved greater distances from water than males, often outside of buffer areas. (4) Buffer requirements may differ by location. 30 m buffers contained 82.4% of all observations, though results varied between 50.0 and 97.2%, depending on breeding location. Finally (5) All habitat requirements should be considered when establishing buffers. Many small, unmapped streams and seeps utilized by toads for hibernation were located outside buffer zones. After ground truthing and extending 30 m buffers around these habitats, the percentage of all observations within 30 m buffers increased to 92.4%. Managers need to be aware of the accuracy of digital and other mapping sources used in creating buffers and to incorporated all critical habitats in conservation buffers. Our boreal toad example suggests that ground truthing may be the most important factor in establishing effective buffer zones.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
När någon vill låna pengar kräver långivaren någon form av säkerhet för lånet. Ett sätt att säkerställa låntagarens betalningsförmåga är att någon går i borgen för låntagaren. Många människor har mycket knappa kunskaper om vad en borgensförbindelse innebär och åtagandet uppfattas bara som en formalitet. De lagregler som behandlar borgen är dispositiva, vilket innebär att det är avtalet som styr. Det är ofta en bank som är kreditgivare när ett borgensåtagande sluts och förbindelsen sker enligt bankens formulär. Banken är den starkare parten vid en borgensförbindelse eftersom den har mer kunskap om borgen än vad kredittagaren och borgensmannen har. Lagen är gammal och innehåller bara ett fåtal paragrafer där alla inte fyller någon funktion.
Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att se om en enkel borgen vore ett bättre konsumentskydd för privatpersoner än vad proprieborgen är. Detta genom att se om bankerna informerar om skillnaden mellan en enkel borgen, proprieborgen samt generell borgen och vilka för- och nackdelar de olika borgensåtagandena har. Syftet är också att se om det skulle vara bättre med en tvingande lagstiftning till konsumentens bästa.
Jag har använt mig av den rättsdogmatiska metoden och undersökningen bygger på doktrinen, rättspraxis och de intervjuer som genomförts. Vidare har stor vikt lagts på de avtal som utfärdats av bankerna.
Vid proprieborgen kan banken vända sig till vilken den vill av borgensmannen och gäldenären för att infria sin fordran om en betalning inte inkommit vid avtalad tid. Vid en enkel borgen måste banken först kräva gäldenären på betalning innan den vänder sig till borgensmannen vilket blir en trygghet för denne. Numera är det bara proprieborgen och generell borgen som används i bankvärlden. Enkel borgen används inte eftersom bankerna inte ser den formen som en tillräcklig säkerhet. Generell borgen används inte när det är en privatperson som går i borgen utan bara när det gäller kommersiella förhållanden.
Under intervjuerna framkom det att enkel borgen skulle vara ett bättre alternativ för borgensmännen än vad en proprieborgen är. Vid en proprieborgen uppstår det en bekvämare situation för banken än vad det gör vid en enkel borgen. Därför anser jag att en enkel borgen skulle vara det enda alternativet då en borgensförbindelse skall ingås för att stärka konsumentskyddet och den skall vara tvingande till konsumenternas förmån.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Por ser não-invasiva e de baixo custo, a Ecocardiografia tem se tornado uma técnica de diagnóstico muito utilizada para a determinação dos volumes sistólicos e diastólicos do ventrículo esquerdo a fim de se calcular, indiretamente, o volume de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo, a razão de contração muscular das cavidades cardíacas, a fração de ejeção regional e global, a espessura do miocárdio e a massa ventricular. Para isso, torna-se necessária a detecção das bordas endocárdicas do ventrículo esquerdo, o que é dificultada pelo fato da imagem de Ecocardiografia possuir ruídos que prejudicam sua definição. Apesar de haver várias técnicas de segmentação de imagem, este trabalho propõe detectar as bordas do ventrículo esquerdo de imagens ecocardiográficas utilizando uma rede neural artificial para reconhecer padrões de bordas. A fim de acelerar o processo e facilitar o processamento, uma área retangular centrada dentro da janela acústica do paciente é determinada pelo operador com o uso do \'mouse\' na qual serão realizadas todas as análises e reconhecimentos de borda pela rede neural. Após a marcação dos pontos reconhecidos pela rede neural como bordas, utilizam-se técnicas de gradientes e contorno móvel para se conectar os pontos de maior probabilidade e traçar a borda do ventrículo esquerdo. Esta técnica mostrou-se eficaz quando comparados com as bordas traçadas pelo especialista, sendo um fator importante a prática do operador ao escolher adequadamente a área a ser analisada. Após treinamento com 50 amostras de padrões de \"borda\" e 10 amostras de padrões de \"não borda\", a técnica foi testada em 108 imagens, alcançando resultados com boa precisão e rapidez quando comparamos os resultados na determinação da área do ventrículo esquerdo com outras técnicas citadas na literatura nacional e internacional.Being non-invasive and having low cost, the echocardiography has been largely applied as diagnostic technique for left ventricle systolic and diastolic volumes determination that indirectly are used to calculate the left ventricle ejection volume, the cardiac cavities muscular contraction, the regional and global ejection fraction, the myocardial thickness, the ventricular mass, etc. For this reason, the detection of the left ventricle endocardial borders become necessary, but hampered by the noise that impairs the echocardiography images definition. In spite of having many image segmentation techniques, this work intend to detect the borders of left ventricle on echocardiography images by using a artificial neural network to recognize border patterns. To accelerate the process and facilitate the procedure, the operator uses the mouse to define a rectangular region inside the acoustic window of the pacient where all analyses and border recognitions will be accomplished. After labeling the recognized points as \'border\', gradient techniques and mobile boundary are used to connect the points of greater probability and delineate the left ventricle border. This technique has proved to be efficient when compared to the borders traced by the specialist. The ability of the operator is important in choosing of the region to be analyzed. After training with 50 samples of \"border\" pattern and 10 samples of \"no-border\" pattern, this technique was tested on 108 images, achieving good results on precision and velocitiy when we compared the calculated left ventricle area with the results of other techniques published on national and international literature.

Gyngell, Peter. "The enigmas of Borges, and the enigma of Borges". Thesis, Cardiff University, 2012. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/26442/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The 'enigmas' dealt with in Part 1 (Chapters 1-4) are illusory, arising largely from the apparent inability of many of his critics to understand much of Borges' work. However, the discussion of his widely appreciated wit in Chapter 1 shows that this is sometimes the fault of Borges himself. He once proclaimed his intention to conceal the true nature of some of his fictions so that only 'a very few' of his readers should understand them. Fortunately, his attempts at concealment were not always successful; but some of his critics seem to have been misled by them. Chapters 2-4 deal with characteristics that appear to be less widely appreciated. Chapter 2 discusses the importance of Borges' obsession with death; chapter 3 deals with what he called 'the most precious gift, doubt'; and chapter 4 illustrates Borges' humility and his aversion to arrogance; but all three chapters demonstrate that Borges' critics have often failed to acknowledge these characteristics. Chapters 2 and 3 show that many of his poems make clear the importance of some of these factors. Borges regarded himself primarily as a poet, and published many more books of poetry than prose; however, comparatively little attention has been paid to this aspect of his work. Part 2 of the thesis (chapters 5 and 6) deals with the enigma which Borges himself presents. This is no illusion. It stems mainly from some of his seminars, lectures and non-fictional pieces, which are shown to be rife with inaccuracies, contradictions, and poor preparation. They raise many questions about the depth of Borges' learning, and about his academic rigour. Part 1 suggests answers, while Part 2 despairs of answers. A number of the quoted texts were published originally in English; I have no Spanish, and the remaining texts are quoted in translation.

A feature of many conflicts is the presence of a border that separates an area of on-going military operations from an area that the enemy can use permissively. This thesis considers analytic techniques for planning military operations designed to interdict enemy forces crossing the border. Specifically, this thesis presents optimization-based methods for scheduling patrolling units and for positioning ground sensors in support of those patrolling units. These methods could serve as the framework for a tactical-level decision support tool designed to assist military planners assigned to border regions with resource allocation recommendations and trade-off comparisons. We propose tractable mixed integer optimization formulations for these solutions based on a network model of the routes in the region, operational constraints on the abilities of the patrolling units, and estimates of enemy force movements. Additionally, we develop robust extensions to these formulations that allow the model to account for a degree of enemy intelligence by incorporating the uncertain nature of the enemy movement estimates into the formulation. We evaluate the solutions to these formulations using simulations that account for different realizations of the uncertain enemy movement. This includes cases where the realized enemy movement closely matches the estimates made in the model and cases where the realizations are very different from the model. Additionally, we provide a modified greedy heuristic to the scheduling formulation that can serve as a tool for dynamically retasking a patrol to interdict enemy forces in real-time after a sensor detects enemy movement. Current planning for these operations are conducted by a staff with no decision making analytic tools. We approximate a version of this current planning method with an algorithm and show that our method outperforms it with both the deterministic and robust formulations. We compare the deterministic and robust formulations and demonstrate a process for choosing between the formulations, along with an explanation of the utility of the robust formulation.

A presente tese procura aprofundar o estudo de reflexões linguísticas e do campo da filosofia da linguagem presentes nos ensaios da década de 1920 do escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges, reflexões que permitem aproximá-lo do pensamento que o linguista e filósofo tcheco Fritz Mauthner expressa, particularmente em ?Esencia del lenguaje?, primeira parte do livro Contribuciones a una crítica del lenguaje (1901). E são justamente alguns ensaios juvenis dos livros Inquisiciones (1925), El tamaño de mi esperanza (1926) e El idioma de los argentinos (1928) os que permitem inferir que Borges, já naqueles anos de juventude e inaugurando esse campo de reflexões na literatura de seu país, se posiciona como uma espécie de crítico da linguagem que, de certa forma, compartilha com Mauthner sua perspectiva cética sobre a dimensão e os alcances comunicativos e representativos da linguagem.

CHDS State/LocalLong-awaited immigration reform may become a reality in 2013, as Congress debates the merits of a comprehensive overhaul. The primary criteria for triggering reforms in the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S.744), involves demonstrated control of the Southwest border. The debate has been complicated, however, because only a few analysts and not the Department of Homeland Security itself have been able to produce acceptable metrics that illustrate success at enforcing border operations, at or between, the ports of entry.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
For over a decade European governments have invested in technological systems to develop new forms of border security in their attempts to regulate migration. Numerous innovations have been designed in order to grant border agencies an unbroken vision of the borderspace, thus allowing states to continuously enact the border beyond their territorial boundaries. Meanwhile, other strategies have been designed in order to control the movements and actions of 'irregular migrants' and asylum seekers following their successful attempts at reaching the territorial boundaries of the European Union (EU). In this thesis I seek to tease apart these technocratic claims of omni-voyance and pervasive control by focusing on the everyday realities of border control and the ways in which these are negotiated and resisted by those who seek to evade them. To this aim, I approach the border by drawing on assemblage theory, as well as feminist geopolitics' attention to performance and embodiment. Such an approach re-centres attention on the human performances of border control, emphasises the agency of 'non-human' actors, foregrounds the messy realities of borderspaces, and engages with the multiplicity of borders. In applying this approach, I argue that the border should not be thought of as a static entity; neither in its location in space, nor in terms of the actors that perform it. Instead, I have oriented my approach towards conceptualising the border as in a constant state of becoming - with actors being continuously added to and subtracted from the security assemblages which constitute the border. In particular I focus on the ways in which 'non-state' actors are increasingly being coerced into performing the border and what the effects of this are on those who seek to evade its violent gaze. In order to put this approach to work, I employ a multi-sited ethnographic study of three European borderspaces: the Frontex headquarters in Warsaw, the Straits of Gibraltar and an anonymised city in the United Kingdom (UK). In Warsaw and the Straits of Gibraltar (specifically the cities of Algeciras and Ceuta) my research was focused on two border surveillance assemblages: (1) The European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) operated by Frontex and (2) Spain's Sistema Integrado de Vigilancia del Exterior (SIVE) maritime surveillance system. I argue that the 'messiness' of the borderspace proves too complex for the surveillance system to control, the vision produced through SIVE being fragmented and stuttered through both human and technological flaws. I also highlight how securing the border is as much a temporal negotiation as it is a spatial one; the struggle for control over the borderspace comprising a contest of speed. The effect is a geography of the border that foregrounds the 'little details' of borderwork; exposing the flaws behind a scopic narrative that claims unceasing vision and an unhindered reach. While in Ceuta I also challenged the formal performances of the enclave as a 'humanitarian space'. Indeed, I argue that it is as a result of framing the enclave's detention centre as a reception centre for humanitarianism that irregular migrants can be detained in the autonomous city indefinitely. Yet the actors that perform the borders of the enclave do so in an untidy alliance which regularly springs leaks. I also discuss the tactics of the migrants who have made it to the enclave and who now seek to leave it again. In particular I note how their tactics of resistance have become entangled with the bordering strategies specific to the enclave. I also question the extent to which the border enclave and the specific identities forged by the migrants who pass through it will remain with them as they pass through future checkpoints of the European border - the evidence of their time spent in Ceuta locked in their fingertips. In the anonymised city in the UK my aims were to question the reach of the state into the everyday lives of asylum seekers. While the lives of asylum seekers are often described as being in 'limbo', I sought to question the temporalities and materialities of urban living for people stuck in the asylum system. I argue that the strategies used by the UK Home Office are intended to limit the movements and actions of asylum seekers in the city through securitising the support that asylum seekers are entitled to. I focus on the ways in which the border is carried by asylum seekers in the city through their use of ARC and Azure cards, especially, and the ways in which these cards serve to 'fix' people with the negative qualities and stereotypes associated with asylum seekers. Through volunteering for a group offering solidarity support to asylum seekers in the city, I also argue that this strategy of limiting movements can be resisted. Like the tactics encountered in Ceuta, however, these tactics frequently become entangled in the strategies of border control.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Nearly two decades have passed since the strategic border security paradigm known as “prevention through deterrence” (PTD) took root in the landscape of Southern Arizona. The aim of PTD was to deter illicit migration by strategically amassing border security forces to funnel migrants into increasingly remote and treacherous territory where they would face increased risk. Indeed, risk was to be the prime factor of deterrence. Thousands of undocumented migrants died attempting to overcome those risks in an outcome known as the “funnel effect,” wherein migration patterns shifted to overcome bypass and overcome border security.
When speaking about PTD taking root in southern Arizona, I mean that this geography is the locus of the funnel effect and has been since 2001. Southern Arizona represents the longest stretch of border walling in the United States and the highest concentrations of border security personnel and undocumented migration activity since the early 2000s. In this sense, this region is a useful point of focus for evaluating the outcomes and efficacy of the border security apparatus. Here, the PTD strategy has been physically tethered to the landscape as border security infrastructure has literally been dug into the ground. With the hundreds of border security infrastructure and wall projects have also come the hundreds of clandestine trails routed around them used by undocumented migrants, and hundreds of tons of left behind migrant survival materials like backpacks, water bottles, blankets, and rosaries. Over the years while border security has expanded, the evidence associated with migration has shifted in turn reflecting a dialectical engagement between the formal border security apparatus and the informal politics of migrants. While many scholars have studied either border security or the risks faced by migrants, few have looked at their mutual influence over time.
This dissertation incorporated a multidisciplinary methodological approach, including ethnography, archival research, archaeology, and GIS technology. These methods allowed me to answer the following questions: What are the social and material effects of border enforcement policy on the ground? How have these changed over the 15 years of concentrated border enforcement in this area, both geographically and in terms of their volume and constitution? What are the stories, the experiences, and the tangible points on the landscape that mark these processes? I viewed the material signature of migration as a form of ruins both literally and metaphorically as they mark the scars of abandonment, loss, and failure. Following Walter Benjamin, I conceived of such ruins as an indictment of the political conditions that led to their formation. In the spirit of Benjamin, I also prioritized this form of marginalized material evidence. Questions of memory and materiality were also entwined with realities of absence and a search for fragmentary traces. I encountered this reality constantly in fieldwork, as when a place known to have been a major clandestine travel corridor for migration was often found completely cleared of all evidence of use. I also routinely walked past coordinates where migrant bodies were recovered, and where no evidence of that tragedy was left.
A dialectical approach also highlighted how much more accessible and visible the actions related to the implementation of the United States border security were in relation to those of migrants. Further, the material evidence associated with migration was actively being removed, often as an environmental hazard. Thus, this project also came to encompass questions about the process of historical creation and heritage. Among those who live and work in the borderlands, this contemporary situation was already largely conceptualized in terms of its heritage potential. Will we remember this episode in history as we remember the Berlin Wall, or Japanese internment camps in the United States, as many of the border residents who participated in my project speculated? Certain public land managers along the border anticipated that their heritage future may well be as lands associated with the migration experience, circa the turn of the 21st century. It is acknowledged that this is a dark chapter of history. But, how does one curate history in the making?
All of this inextricably links to issues of power. This is the power to decide what is culturally valuable or relevant, as well as the power to define historical narratives as they are made. Border security itself is about maintaining U.S. sovereignty, while defining the value of migrant lives and deaths as the border is secured. This is also a set of values that prioritizes border security over reform to the system that could facilitate labor migration. There is also a hierarchy to what survives between the monumental architecture of border security and the ephemeral tools and structures of clandestine migration. The latter are hidden and actively decaying while the former will stand the test of time. This dissertation analyzes the informal and the fragmentary side by side with the formal and monumental. What do decaying survival materials dropped by undocumented migrants, decaying migrant bodies in the wilderness, and hundreds of miles of clandestine smuggler trails in one of the most highly secured borderlands in one of the most powerful countries in the world say about power here? On a practical level, the accumulated evidence are read as an indictment of border security, revealing that the building of walls and surveillance structures have not stopped migration, though they have led to increasingly imperiled migrant journeys.

Presently, U.S. border security endeavors are compartmentalized, fragmented, and poorly coordinated. Moreover, international collaborations are extremely limited; success hinges on effective international cooperation. This thesis addresses U.S. border security management using complexity theory and a systems approach, incorporating both borders and all associated border security institutions simultaneously. Border security research has rarely viewed all stakeholders as a holistic unit up to this point, nor has border security been thoroughly examined using a systems approach. This research scrutinizes the current U.S. border security paradigm in an attempt to determine the systemic reasons why the system is ineffective in securing U.S. borders. Additionally, the research investigates the current level of international cooperation between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This thesis increases awareness and will possibly create dissent among established agencies, which is the first step in instituting needed changes that will ultimately increase North American security. The thesis contends that the establishment of a tri-nationalUnited States, Canadian, and Mexicanborder security agency, in addition to legalizing drugs and reestablishing a guest worker program, will be more effective and cost-efficient in securing North American borders.

Wisaijorn, Thanachate. "Riverine border practices : people's everyday lives on the Thai-Lao Mekong border". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2018. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/33733.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Pluralities of people s crossings of the Mekong Thai-Lao border occur as locals subvert, reject, ignore, and embrace the logic of the national border. From a state-centric point of view, the everyday movements of these people, who rely mainly on a subsistence economy and have their own modes of crossing, are undocumented. I argue that people s mobility co-exists with the practice of sedentary assumption. The aim of this thesis is to promote theory related to the Third Space in Borderland Studies by the presentation and analysis of people s pluralities in border-crossings. The borderland area of Khong Chiam (Thailand)-Sanasomboun (Lao PDR) is the location of an in-between state in which spatial negotiations, temporal negotiations, and negotiations of political subjectivities contribute to the nature of mobility in the Third Space. To achieve the objective of this thesis, ethnographic methodology was used over six months of fieldwork from March to September 2016, and included participant observations, interviews and essay-readings that involved 110 participants in the borderland site. People s movements across the Mekong River border occur daily without formal state approval. From the perspective of the Thai Ban, the river is a lived space in which they catch food and use for transport. However, their interpretation of the Mekong as the state boundary does not completely disappear. This thesis examines the everyday banal pluralities of the Thai Ban s border-crossings by weaving together the three concepts of space, temporality, and negotiations of political subjectivities. The spatial and temporal negotiations involved in the border-crossings shape and are shaped by this other interpretation of the Mekong as a lived space, and different political subjectivities contribute to the pluralities of the crossings. The presentation of these pluralities of border-crossings adds to Borderland Studies specifically and the social sciences in general in the development of an understanding of the Third Space. As this thesis focuses on people s mobility at quasi-state checkpoints and in areas along the Mekong Thai-Lao border with no border checkpoints, it is suggested that future research examines the everyday practices of border-crossings at land borders.

Louisor-White, Dominique. "Jorge Luis Borges traducteur". Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040088.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
L'oeuvre de Jorge Luis Borges comprend un certain nombre de traductions en langue espagnole de textes issus de littérature française,britannique et américaine effectuées par Borges entre les années 1925 et 1969. Ces textes sont de tous genres littéraires. Borges participe aussi directement à la traduction de son oeuvre en anglais américain en collaboration avec Norman Thomas Di Giovanni. Les quelques textes théoriques où Borges expose ses vues sur la traduction et l'étude de ses diverses versions espagnoles permettent d'établir que le concept qui est la sien en matière de traduction se base sur la conviction que la traduction d'un texte peut non seulement égaler mais surpasser l'original. La littéralité est à éviter et la réécriture est recommandée. Cette réflexion sur Borges traducteur est intimement liée à celle du concept borgésien de la littérature : l'auteur est universel,le texte inachevé et en re-création permanente. L'étude de Borges traducteur n'invite pas seulement à réfléchir sur la pratique de cet art chez Borges,mais sur la création borgésienne et la littérature selon BorgesThe works of Jorges Luis Borges include a certain number of translations into Spanish of texts from French,British and American literatures,done by Borges between the yeayrs of 1925 and 1969. .

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The inability of a plant to run from danger or seek nutrients necessitates its capacity to change the environment of the surrounding soil for protection and sustenance. A unique plant process, the release of thousands of autonomous cells from the root cap, called root border cells, may play a role in the ability of the plant to regulate microbial populations and nutrient availability in the rhizosphere. In this study, evidence is presented showing that root border cells are a differentiated tissue, that the production of border cells is highly regulated and tied to cell turnover in the root cap and that products of border cells regulate cell division in the root cap meristem. In vivo labeling experiments demonstrate that 13% of the proteins that are abundant in preparations from border cells are undetectable in root tip cells. Differences between the two cell populations are apparent as soon as border cells separate from each other, even when they are still adhered to the root tip. Twenty-five percent of the proteins synthesized by border cells in a 1-hour period are rapidly excreted into the incubation medium. Border cells arise within the root cap meristem by cell division and their production is tightly regulated both developmentally and in response to border cell removal. Removal of border cells results in the induction of cell division in the transverse root cap meristem to 400% of the basal rate within 30 minutes. This elevated rate of mitosis is maintained for 1.5 h and falls to basal levels within 6 hours. During this time, mitosis in the root apical meristem remains constant. mRNA differential display analysis showed changes in gene expression in the root cap within 5 to 15 minutes of removal of border cells. Genes putatively involved in cell functions in three regions of the cap showed expected distribution patterns by in situ hybridization and RNA blot analysis revealed changes in their expression patterns were seen in response to border cell removal. The presence of border cells acts as an inhibitor to continued mitosis and border cell production in the root cap. Evidence from fractionation studies shows that a heat stable, protease insensitive molecule in the range of 25 to 80 kDa, produced by the border cells themselves, is responsible for this inhibition.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
L’ambito di ricerca delle aree interne costituisce un campo applicativo che negli ultimi anni ha generato l’interesse di molti ricercatori in diverse discipline: scienze sociali, politica e architettura sono solo alcune di esse. La ricerca osserva i territori marginali italiani, quelle aree appenniniche e prealpine che nel tempo hanno subito maggiormente le conseguenze di due grandi crisi: sociale ed economica, che ha innescato un forte movimento migratorio verso le grandi città con un conseguente spopolamento delle aree periferiche; e ambientale che ha portato un forte degrado generalizzato, ulteriormente accelerato dalla minore presenza antropica. La struttura della tesi è costituita essenzialmente da due parti tematiche, in ognuna delle quali viene approfondito un aspetto della ricerca. Una prima parte teorica, presenta una ricognizione ragionata sullo stato dell’arte per quanto concerne i borghi abbandonati in Italia, con particolare attenzione al territorio friulano. Nella seconda parte, vengono invece approfonditi alcuni aspetti con una connotazione decisamente più pratica, che riguarda il “fare architettura” all’interno dei borghi. Vengono individuate alcune modalità di intervento edilizie, raccolte in una sorta di “manuale” e attuabili a prescindere dal quadro funzionale: un’architettura senza funzione prestabilita. L’astrattezza del manuale da un lato e la concretezza di un fenomeno che riguarda il territorio italiano dall’altro, sono le due realtà all’interno delle quali si sviluppa questa ricerca, proponendo nuove riflessioni sul tema dell’abitare.The research field of internal areas is a field that in recent years has generated the interest of many researchers in different disciplines: social sciences, politics and architecture are just some of them. The research observes the Italian marginal territories, those Apennine and pre-alpine areas that over time have suffered most from the consequences of two major crises: social and economic, which has triggered a strong migration movement towards the big cities with a consequent depopulation of the peripheral areas; and environmental, which has led to a strong generalized degradation, further accelerated by the reduced anthropic presence. The structure of the thesis is essentially made up of two thematic parts, in each of which an aspect of the research is explored. A first theoretical part, presents a reasoned survey on the state of the art as regards the abandoned villages in Italy, with particular attention to the territory of Friuli. In the second part, some aspects are deepened with a decidedly more practical connotation, which concerns the "making architecture" within the villages. Some methods of building intervention are identified, collected in a sort of "manual" and implemented regardless of the functional framework: an architecture without predetermined function. The abstractness of the manual on one hand and the concreteness of a phenomenon that concerns the Italian territory on the other, are the two realities within which this research develops, proposing new reflections on the theme of living.

This essay seeks to explore dance within Rio de Janeiro s Revue entertainment theater, in order to analyze the influences of imagination of modernity in ballet dances, as well as to identify some genres and dance techniques incorporated into the production of the Revue scene, taking into consideration the body of dance, especially the chorus-dance girls (the so-called showgirls) and the ruptures represented by modernity in relation to the dance of that period. To this end, the Cultural History method is relied upon as a guide, with existing studies on this theatrical genre serving as methodological derivation. The analysis of photographs from scenes of the shows is also employed, aiming to observe and identify aspects of the genres of dance present therein, in particular the so-called modern dances , as well as traces of the dancers social identities. To such purpose, the ballet dances analyzed will be of a type of Revue, the 1920 s Revue, that which is no longer the Year s Revue, but that still has not completely lost touch with the text, which in other words, still preserves a thread of the script, however tenuously. To that end, two Revue texts from the 1920 s have been worked with, Marques Porto and Ary Pavão s Comidas Meu Santo, from 1925; and Marques Porto and Luiz Peixoto s Guerra ao Mosquito, from 1929, in order to draw a parallel between these Revue texts and modernity and the dance numbers. To investigate the panorama of the ballet dances, an analysis of photographs from those shows, newspaper reviews, Revue texts and, -in a slightly less incisive manner- cartoons and caricatures, was conducted. This was done with the intention of unveiling historical traces in order to enable us to better comprehend dance within the Revue theater cultural practices in Rio de Janeiro, debating aspects regarding modernity and the invention of the Brazilian national identity
Esta dissertação busca investigar a dança no Teatro de Revista carioca, para analisar as influências do imaginário da modernidade nos bailados, bem como identificar alguns gêneros e técnicas de dança incorporadas junto à produção da cena revisteira, considerando o corpo de baile, especialmente as coristas-dançarinas (as chamadas girls) e as rupturas representadas pela modernidade em relação à dança deste período. Para tal, me pauto na história cultural, tendo como procedimento metodológico, estudos existentes sobre este gênero teatral e análise de fotografias das cenas dos espetáculos, esta última análise visa observar e identificar aspectos dos gêneros de dança presentes, especialmente as chamadas danças modernas e vestígios das identidades sociais das dançarinas. Para tanto, serão analisados os bailados de um tipo de revista, a revista da década de 1920, aquela que não é mais a Revista de Ano, mas que ainda não perdeu totalmente o contato com o texto, ou seja, que ainda apresenta um fio de enredo, mesmo que de forma muito tênue. Para isso trabalho com dois textos revisteiros da década de 1920, Comidas Meu Santo, de 1925, de Marques Porto e Ary Pavão; e Guerra ao Mosquito, de 1929, de Marques Porto e Luiz Peixoto, de modo a traçar um paralelo destes textos revisteiros com a modernidade e com os números de dança. Para investigar o panorama dos bailados foram analisadas fotografias destes espetáculos, críticas de jornais, textos revisteiros e, de modo menos pontual, charges e caricaturas, no intuito de desvendar os vestígios históricos para compreender a dança no interior das práticas culturais cariocas do Teatro de Revista, discutindo aspectos relativos à modernidade e a invenção da identidade nacional brasileira

Borg, Céline. "Inhibition sélective de l'information non pertinente chez des sujets induits dans un état anxieux". Lyon 2, 2001. http://theses.univ-lyon2.fr/documents/lyon2/2001/borg_c.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Le biais attentionnel observé dans l'anxiété pourrait être le résultat d'un déficit au niveau de l'inhibition des distracteurs négatifs. Une façon d'analyser ce déficit a consisté, dans les trois premières expériences à dissocier dans le temps les composantes sémantique et chromatique de la tâche de Stroop. Les résultats observés dans ces expériences ont principalement montré que les sujets induits dans un état anxieux se différenciaient des sujets contrôles au niveau du décours temporel de l'interférence mot/couleur et que le biais attentionnel associé à l'anxiété était le reflet d'un dysfonctionnement attentionnel général à l'égard de l'information distractrice et pas seulement d'un déficit au niveau de l'inhibition sélective. Une quatrième expérience, dans laquelle nous avons utilisé un paradigme d'amorçage négatif ne confirme pas l'existence d'un déficit des mécanismes inhibiteurs chez les personnes anxieuses. En référence aux travaux de Fox (1994) qui laissent supposer que les personnes anxieuses auraient des difficultés à inhiber l'information négative, lorsqu'un processus de recherche visuelle est engagé, nous avons conçu trois autres expériences, impliquant un traitement spatial. Les expériences 5 et 6 n'ont montré aucun biais attentionnel associé à la valence des mots chez les personnes induites dans un état émotionnel. Cet échec pourrait s'interpréter par le fait que le traitement émotionnel ne fait pas l'objet d'une interférence mesurable dans ces expériences car d'autres types de traitement interviendraient et neutraliseraient l'activation de cette information. Nous avons donc mis en place une autre expérience, qui prendrait plus en compte le traitement émotionnel de l'information. Les résultats vont dans le sens d'une difficulté à inhiber l'information distractrice de valence négative chez les personnes induites dans un état anxieux, lorsqu'une recherche visuo-spatiale est impliquée.

[EN] Joan de Borja i Castro (1533-1606) was one of the culturally and politically active members of the Iberian nobility in the second half of the sixteenth century. The son of Saint Francis of Borgia, he was Philip II's Ambassador in Portugal and the Holy Roman Empire, as well as Empress Maria's mayordomo mayor. Music occupied a central role in Borja's life. This thesis studies his musical activities, notably his patronage of specific works, and identifies the international networks in which he participated. The collection of music books and instruments inventoried after his death lies at the heart of this study and, complemented with new research in Spanish archives, reveals an unusually detailed profile of a major music patron of the sixteenth century.[ES] Joan de Borja y Castro (1533-1606) fue un de los miembros cultural y políticamente más destacados entre la nobleza hispánica en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI.

Esta tesis estudia las actividades musicales de Borja, el patrocinio de obras y las redes clientelares internacionales donde figura como una persona clave en el mundo ibérico de su tiempo. La colección de libros de música e instrumentos, inventariada a su muerte, permite profundizar en esta investigación y mostrar un perfil de un mecenas poco habitual en las postrimerías del siglo XVI.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedCross-border ground raids by state-backed security forces can have a detrimental impact on guerrillas ability to wage war. External support in neighboring countries can be an important source of strength to insurgent forces. However, cross-border raids and their security gains come at a political cost. This thesis examines the conflicts in Malaya (19461950), Nicaragua (19811990), Algeria (19541962), Namibia (19601989), South Vietnam (19601975), and Afghanistan (19781992) to identify operational and strategic-level considerations in planning cross-border operations to reduce the political costs of such operations. The study examines the relationship between security gains and political costs, including subsets of factors intrinsic to both variables. The research presents lessons applicable to the contemporary counterterrorism environment and suggests how military and political counterinsurgents can combine lines of effort in conducting cross-border operations against external insurgent sanctuaries.

This dissertation examines changing relationships among natural landscapes and state agencies, as these relationships intersect in transboundary protected wildlands and in debates about natural resource protection and U.S.-Mexico border policy. Recent increases in undocumented migration, smuggling, and border enforcement along the Arizona-Sonora border impact ecology and public land management practices. In this dissertation, I analyze how natural and national spaces and boundaries are produced through institutional and individual practices and discourses in border wildlands. Further, I consider how different productions of space restrict or create opportunities for collaborative responses to ecological impacts resulting from migration, smuggling, and border enforcement. This research builds on anthropological scholarship on conservation, borders, and the production of space through an ethnography of conservation institutions as they face dramatic political and ecological changes in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Denne oppgaven handler om brukerstyrt personlig assistanse (BPA). BPA- ordningen har tre samhandlingsaktører: arbeidsleder, assistent og arbeidsgiver. Denne studiens fokus er arbeidslederrollen. Formålet med studien var å belyse ulike aspekt av betydning for å fungere i rollen som arbeidsleder for eget tjenestetilbud, hvor opplæring og oppfølging av arbeidsleder var sentralt. Det fokuseres på hva som kan fremme arbeidslederens mulighet for å fungere i rollen ut ifra samhandlingen med assistenter og arbeidsgiver. Studien hadde et kvalitativt design, og datamaterialet ble innhentet ved kvalitative intervju som ble analysert med inspirasjon fra hermeneutisk fenomenologi. For å belyse problemstillingene fra de ulike samhandlingsaktørenes ståsteder, besto utvalget av åtte arbeidsledere, fire assistenter og fire ansatte i arbeidsgiverorganisasjoner. Studien indikerer at det å fungere i rollen som arbeidsleder avhenger av flere faktorer tilknyttet de tre samhandlingsaktørene arbeidsleder- assistent- arbeidsgiver: Arbeidslederens personlige egenskaper, selvbestemmelse og brukerstyring synes å ha betydning. Arbeidsleder må på sin side kunne beherske oppgavene med å lede assistenter for å ivareta brukerstyring og arbeidsvilkår for assistenter. Skillet mellom formelle roller og vennskap kan være en utfordrende balansegang mellom arbeidsleder og assistentene. Assistentens tillit til arbeidsleder kan svekkes dersom arbeidsleder ikke styrer ordningen, noe som kan bidra til at assistenten i større grad overtar organiseringen av tjenesten, som kan redusere brukerstyringen. Arbeidsgivers kunnskap og holdning om BPA, samt tillit og samarbeid med arbeidsleder synes å påvirke graden av brukerstyring hos arbeidslederen. Opplæring og veiledning synes å ha betydning for å sikre arbeidslederens brukerstyring og ledelse. For å sikre brukerstyring og valgfrihet kan det synes best med individuelt tilpasset opplæring og veiledning. Studien indikerer at behovet for opplæring varierer med arbeidsleders tidligere erfaringer i livet og i arbeid, tro på seg selv og i arbeidslederrollen, samt BPA- ordningens størrelse (antall timer og assistenter). Samtidig indikerer studien at et fast opplæringsprogram kan ha betydning for å sikre generelle sider ved BPA- ordingen. Likemannsperspektivet i opplæringen erfares som mindre viktig for arbeidsledere, RO og kommune enn for Uloba. Det er varierende erfaringer om hvorvidt det er nødvendig at arbeidsleder står for opplæringen av assistenter selv, med hensyn til å sikre brukerstyring. Studien synliggjør flere spørsmål som egner seg for videre diskusjon, særlig hvorvidt man bør gå mot en todeling av ordningen eller fortsette innenfor dagens rammer. Det er blant annet spørsmål om BPA bør være en velferdstjeneste med krav om innsyn fra forvaltningen, eller om privatisering er svaret på økt selvbestemmelse og valgfrihet hos brukerne. Det er også spørsmål om det skal stilles krav til egnethet hos personer som skal være arbeidsledere, og i så fall: hvilke? Denne studien trekker opp spørsmål knyttet til arbeidslederrollens ansvar med å ivareta egen selvbestemmelse samtidig med assistentenes interesser, hvilket kan ha betydning for hvilke arbeidsgivere som vinner frem i anbud eller ved brukervalg. Generell eller individuelt tilpasset opplæring gir også ulike implikasjoner. Denne studien løfter frem noen erfaringer som kan brukes dersom BPA- ordningen skal vurderes og rettighetsfestes med nye rammevilkår. Videre viser studien at det er behov for evalueringer av brukertilfredshet, kvalitetssikring av tjenestetilbudet samt felles rammer for assistentopplæring. Arbeidslederens og assistentenes vilkår innenfor de ulike arbeidsgivermodeller bør også evalueres videre. Kvalitative studier som denne kan ha overføringsverdi, men det er behov for kvantitative studier som i tillegg kan gi økt generaliserbarhet dersom BPA- ordningen skal endres. Her bør dessuten kjønnsperspektivet inngå, samt fokus på inkludering av arbeidsledere med ulike størrelser av BPA- ordninger. Nye studier kan belyse betydningen av selvbestemmelse og samarbeid og behov for opplæring mellom assistenter og arbeidsledere i større og mindre BPA- ordninger. Denne studien kan brukes som utgangspunkt for evalueringsforskning av velferdstjenester hvor brukerstyring er sentral, samt i studier av lederskap.

(A)bordar e tecer lembram habilidades manuais e produções que, no final, têm o toque de quem as cria. Aqui, não é diferente, pois, ao tecer histórias ao longo dessas páginas, dei pontos e enlaces por meio de memórias relatadas por Dulcina de Moraes, Geraldo Martuchelli, Hugo Rodas, Humberto Pedrancini, Iara Pietricovsky, Jesus Vivas, João Antônio e José Maria B. de Paiva, construindo assim uma narrativa compartilhada, com nossos toques especiais. Ao estudar história e cultura, fazendo uso da metodologia da história oral, gravei narrativas e estudei-as com outras fontes de imagens (textuais e visuais) encontradas em diferentes acervos e interpretei os fazeres teatrais em Brasília, entre 1970 e 1990. Assim, parte de história de vida desses narradores/as; saberes; criação e transformação de lugares e repertório encenados, lutas diárias, dificuldades, rupturas, continuidades, belezas e legados se desvelaram aos nossos olhos mostrando dimensões desses fazeres cênicos nessa cidade, numa relação passado-presente heterogênea, dinâmica e significativa de ressonâncias nos dias de hoje. Enfim, estamos diante dessas múltiplas experiências, que mostram-se em diálogo, ora em consenso, ora em conflito, como a própria história é também por mim, assim concebida, sempre inacabada e, portanto, aberta a outras interpretações.
Embroider and weave remind us of some manual abilities and productions that, when finished, are built among those who created them. Here, it is not different because by weaving stories along these pages, I have stitched and tied memories from Dulcina de Moraes, Geraldo Martuchelli, Hugo Rodas, Humberto Pedrancini, Iara Pietricovsky, Jesus Vivas, João Antônio e José Maria B. de Paiva, developing, by the way, a shared narrative with our special touches. By studying history and culture, using the methodology of oral history researches, I have recorded narratives and studied them connected with other sources of (written and visual) images found in different collections and then, I have interpreted the theater actions in Brasília, between 1970 and 1990. Therefore, some parts of life’s history these narraters, knowledge, places that were created, repertoires putted in action, daily struggles, difficulties, ruptures, continuities, beauties and legatos were revealed upon my eyes showing me some actions played in the city, in a heterogenic, dynamic and significant relationship between past and present echoing in nowadays reality. Finally, we are in front of some multiple experiences registers in which, in so many times, are revealed with dialogs and in so many others are shown by conflicts as it is seen in the proper history. This text is by me understood with the belief that the historical object is always unfinished and, therefore, this work is opened for other suggestions and interpretations.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the past decade, the literature on regional innovation systems (RIS) has considerably enhanced our understanding of the critical role played by geographical proximity and local institutional conditions for the production of new knowledge and its economic exploitation. Regional innovation systems have been investigated for different types of regions, including high- tech centres, old industrial zones, and peripheral areas. In most cases, however, both theoretical and empirical work has focussed on RIS situated within a national context. Little research has been done so far on cross-border RIS. This paper is a first attempt to explore conceptually whether the theoretical approach of regional innovation systems can be applied to cross-border settings. We will investigate some critical conditions for the emergence of transfrontier innovation systems and argue that cross-border areas differ enormously regarding their capacity to develop an integrated inno vation space.

Angelucci, M. "Border enforcement, aid and migration". Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2005. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1444495/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis addresses the issue of policy effects on domestic and international migration, considering in particular the case of Mexican migration. The first essay investigates the effect of U.S. border enforcement on the net flow of Mexican undocumented migration. Such effect is theoretically ambiguous, given that increases in border controls deter prospective migrants from cross ing the border illegally, but lengthen the U.S. permanence of current ones. It estimates border enforcement's net impact on migration inflow using a sample of potential and current illegal migrants. U.S. border enforcement significantly reduces the net flow of undocumented migration. However, the reduction in net flow is more than half the size of the decrease in inflow. The second essay models the short and medium-run impact of aid on migration, considering alternatively the effect of unconditional and conditional cash transfers to financially constrained households. Data from the evaluation of a Mexican development program, Progresa, are used to estimate the effect of the grant on migration. The empirical analysis shows that the program is associated with an increase in international migration, which is also a positive function of the potential transfer size. Conditional grants in the form of secondary school subsidies reduce the short-term migration probability. Progresa does not seem to increase medium-term migration. The final chapter reviews the approaches employed to estimate Treatment on the Treated Effects (TTEs) using experimental data in the presence of non-compliers. It discusses the types of parameters that can be identified using the Progresa data. It uncovers new parameters that have not been estimated so far, based on the fact that a group of eligible households did not receive the program transfer in the initial stages of its implementation. It proposes alternative estimating procedures to identify counterfactuals in the presence of non-compliers for users of the Progresa data. It complements the theoretical part with an empirical application by estimating the effect of Progresa on school enrolment.

Tanésy, Béatrice. "L' INFINI. Valéry, Borges, Calvino". Thesis, Nancy 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010NAN21023.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
La question de la réalisation de synthèses gnoséologiques chez Valéry, Borges et Calvino montre l'infini comme possible clé de lecture fédératrice de leurs textes, traduisant la démesure sur un plan poétique et esthétique. Sont ainsi comparés le Système valéryen, les différentes structures imaginaires borgésiennes (la Bibliothèque, le Livre, l'Aleph...) et les divers catalogues, collections et encyclopédies évoqués par Calvino. L'impossibilité ou l'inachèvement de toutes ces entreprises, donnant à considérer à la fois l'ambition qui les caractérise et les limites qu'elles imposent, mettront en évidence le jeu infini de l'écriture lié à l'infini processus de leur édification. Le vertige infini qui s'empare alors du lecteur caractérise l'oeuvre et renvoie à l'infini de la Littérature qui interroge le monde sans jamais pouvoir apporter de réponse complèteComparing some of Valéry's, Borges' and Calvino's texts, "the Infinite" appears as a possible common keyword for reading it, and enables to express the poetical and esthetical excessiveness of the different written works which consider the carrying out of gnoseological projects. We focus on the Valéry?s Cahiers, the various borgesian imaginary structures (as the Library, the Book, the Aleph,...) and the several Calvino's references to the catalogue, the collecting or the Encyclopedia themes. The features of those impossible or unfinished plans, showing their ambition and their limitations, bring out the never-ending of the writing, the infinite reader's dizzy vertigo given as a simultaneous quality of their works, and the infinite of the Literature, wondering about the meaning of the reality without never answering it completely

Rose, Arthur James. "Cynical cosmopolitans? : Borges, Beckett, Coetzee". Thesis, University of Leeds, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7705/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The thesis argues for a form of kynical cosmopolitanism in the late work of Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett and J.M. Coetzee. Broadly sympathetic responses to these three writers conflate their writing style and their personal habits, and identify them as stoics. Broadly unsympathetic responses conflate their choice of theme and their apparent political quietude, and identify them as cynics. Instead of finding them aligned with stoicism or contemporary cynicism, the thesis draws on work by Peter Sloterdijk and Michel Foucault to recuperate kynicism (ancient cynicism) as a heuristic to explain how the writers consciously exploit a combination of style, theme, habit and political perspective in their late works. The late works of all three writers turn on a performance of the self that takes autobiographical enactment as the starting point for exploring political subjectivity. Following Diogenes of Sinope, who labelled this performative political subjectivity ‘cosmopolitanism’, this thesis argues that the late works of Borges, Beckett and Coetzee must be understood as creating a self-reflexive kynical cosmopolitanism, in which the role of the writer in the world becomes an aesthetic device for engaging with cosmopolitan political subjectivity.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Border Pedagogy for Democratic Practice articulates a pedagogy that awakens a more nuanced political consciousness, a sense of empathy and agency about social justice, and an increased comfort with ambiguities, for both student and teacher. By combining a theory of border pedagogy (developed by Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren, Renato Rosaldo and others), with tenets from cultural studies, postcolonial literary theory and critical pedagogy/literacy, I argue for a new understanding in the way we teach diverse texts, an understanding that can be applied to the ongoing shifts in history and culture, and local and global politics. The first section historicizes, explores and synthesizes the major theorists and questions from which my framework arises. In the second chapter I analyze the border texts of Sherman Alexie, Rigoberta Menchu, and Guillermo Gomez-Pena, which I find useful in classroom exploration of border theory. In the final section, I offer models of courses each designed with the intent of facilitating an environment for critical literacy, political agency and "border thought," including the courses "Contemporary American Indian Literature," "Critical Thinking" and "The Arts in Society." My hope is that border pedagogy for democratic practice will encourage active citizenship in the interest of social justice.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The regulation of people and products moving between the United States and Mexico, most visible along their 2,000 mile-long boundary, also depends on the complementary function of a series of border zones. Located adjacent to the boundary, they form part of each country's administrative attempts to balance national interests and the particular needs of the border area. The boundary, limit of national sovereignty, allows a certain degree of interaction; border zones, while broadening the area of contact, impose some limitations upon it. The form and function of border zones have varied over time, just as administration of the boundary has adjusted to change. Since residents of Northern new Spain met participants of American westward expansion, the two central governments have used border zones to impose restrictions on the interchange. Mexico has feared its northern neighbor's territorial ambitions and economic power. Immigration and drugs from Mexico concern the United States.

Ackermann, Kathrin. "Nitrogen dynamics in boreal forests". Thesis, Bangor University, 2013. https://research.bangor.ac.uk/portal/en/theses/nitrogen-dynamics-in-boreal-forests(93cbde5e-93a0-43f8-abcb-d575b67bad8f).html.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N) is a major pathway for available N entering ecosystems. In N-limited boreal forests, a significant amount of N is fixed by cyanobacteria that live epiphytically on feather mosses. Despite the dominance of bryophytes in the boreal biome and their association with cyanobacteria, the role of feather mosses in boreal N cycling remains poorly understood. Further, evaluating abiotic controls on N2 fixation in the feather moss-cyanobacteria association is a challenge yet to be addressed. Therefore, the aims of this thesis were to identify the main factors that drive N2 fixation in the feather moss-cyanobacteria association, and to gain a deeper understanding of the feather moss’ role for the N cycle in boreal forests. The effects of natural and artificial N additions, N deprivation as well as the impact of drying and rewetting events on N2 fixation rates in the ubiquitous- and cyanobacteria-hosting feather moss Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt. were analyzed. Further, the ability of P. schreberi to take up N from soil was tested, assessing another possible pathway through which the moss can utilize N. The cyanobacterial contribution to the decomposition resistance of the moss was evaluated; and finally, when and how the fixed N enters the soil to become available for plants and microbes was assessed. The results of my work demonstrated that N2 fixation is negatively affected by natural as well as artificial N inputs, but the inhibition of N2 fixation is dependent on the amount of added N and further, N2 fixation seems to be resilient to N deposition as well as to drying-rewetting events indicated by the increase of N2 fixation rates in the moss-cyanobacteria association upon removal of the stressors. P. schreberi was found to be able to take up organic and inorganic N from soil, but it accounted for a small fraction of total N demand. Cyanobacteria do not contribute to the moss’ resistance towards decomposition by soil bacteria. Feather mosses effectively retain the acquired N, thus representing a short-term N sink. By using lab as well as field-based approaches to identify factors that drive N2 fixation in the feather moss-cyanobacteria association, I gained a deeper understanding of a major component of the N cycle in boreal forests. The moss was shown to have the ability to use soil-N and to retain N over several months, however, the moss likely represents a long-term N source to the boreal system, due to its association with N2-fixing cyanobacteria. Nevertheless, assessing the transfer and exchange of N and carbon (C) between feather moss and cyanobacteria, and defining the interface of this, would improve our understanding of their role in ecosystem nutrient cycling and should be subject to future research.
