"What's this country coming to?": Patrick McCabe's Bog Gothic in The Butcher Boy
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Inglês: Estudos Linguísticos e Literários, Florianópolis, 2020.Este estudo analisa a construção do ?Gótico do Pântano? no romance The Butcher Boy, escrito pelo autor irlandês Patrick McCabe e publicado pela primeira vez em 1992. Ao analisar o uso de elementos do Gótico Clássico e do Novo Gótico Americano, assim como a sociedade irlandesa na metade do século XX no romance, meu objetivo principal é descobrir o que constitui o subgênero literário do Gótico do Pântano, sendo o autor supracitado considerado o criador de tal estilo. Minha hipótese é que o Gótico do Pântano se dá pela mistura de elementos do Gótico Clássico e do estilo literário voltado à psique do Novo Gótico Americano situados em uma Irlanda rural que sofre com problemas sociais, como uma maneira revisionista de representar a disparidade entre as ?Irlandas? rurais e industrializadas. Para melhor entender se o Gótico do Pântano é assim construído, este estudo apresenta uma contextualização história da Irlanda e do gênero Gótico no país, assim como o termo Gótico do Pântano foi criado e estudado até agora. No que tange o aporte teórico, a análise está embasada no conceito de Gótico Clássico, se baseando nos conceitos de Siobhán Kilfeather, George O?Brien e Edmund Burke; nas ideias de Novo Gótico Americano de David Punter, Irving Malin e Babitha B.; e nos trabalhos sobre nacionalismo de Terrence Brown e Yen-Chi Wu. Argumento que, ao apresentar um romance que foca nas questões psicológicas do narrador, enquanto usa elementos comumente relacionados ao Gótico Clássico num contexto de uma era instável na Irlanda, Patrick McCabe cria seu próprio estilo de Gótico em The Butcher Boy, o qual será reproduzido em seus trabalhos posteriores.Abstract : The present study analyses the construction of Bog Gothic in the The Butcher Boy, novel written by the Irish author Patrick McCabe and first published in 1992. By analysing the use of Classic Gothic and New American Gothic tropes, as well as Irish society in the mid- twentieth century in the novel, my main point is to find out what constitutes the literary subgenre Bog Gothic, the aforementioned author being regarded as the creator of such style. My hypothesis is that the Bog Gothic is made up from a mixture of Classic Gothic elements and New American Gothic?s psyche-oriented writing style placed in a rural Ireland that suffered from social problems, from a revisionist point of view, to present the country?s disparity between rural and industrialised Ireland. As a means of better understanding if this is how Bog Gothic is constructed, this study offers a historical contextualization of Ireland and the Gothic genre in the country as well as how the term Bog Gothic was created and has been treated so far. Concerning the theoretical background, the analysis is based on the concept of Classic Gothic, relying on Siobhán Kilfeather?s, George O?Brien?s and Edmund Burke?s concepts of Gothic; David Punter?s, Irving Malin?s and Babitha?s insights on New American Gothic; and Terrence Brown?s and Yen-Chi Wu?s work on nationalism. I argue that, by presenting a novel that focuses on the narrator?s psychological issues at the same time that it uses tropes usually featured in Classic Gothic novels, within the Irish context of an unstable era, Patrick McCabe creates his own style of Gothic in The Butcher Boy, which will be replicated on later works by him
Higher Education in India- A Compendium

“The best and noblest parts of man depend precious little on culture, education, and whatever else it is called”- Wilhelm Von Humboldt. To probably understand the methods and models of education that can be effectively implemented today, understanding the evolution and development of education may pave the way to cater to present needs. In the context of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) passed by the Government of India, the author makes an effort to know the history and evolution of education from pre-independence to the post-independence era. The author also compares successful education models adopted by other countries to analyze India’s education policies critically.

Evaluation of the intestinal microbiota, productive and health parameters of tilapia Oreochromis spp. cultured in biofloc and recirculation aquaculture systems
No full textLa salud de la tilapia es un tema primordial para conseguir buenos resultados productivos y el ambiente donde residen los peces influye sustancialmente en ello. El RAS (sistema de recirculación acuícola) y BFT (tecnología biofloc) son dos sistemas de producción intensiva y biotecnológicos por beneficiarse de microorganismos para su buen funcionamiento, pero esta microbiota puede estar en contacto con los peces (especialmente en el BFT) produciendo cierta incertidumbre en cuanto a la bioseguridad. Por eso el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto de los sistemas de producción RAS y BFT sobre parámetros productivos y sanitarios (recuento leucocitario y evaluación histológica de branquias e intestino) y la microbiota intestinal en tilapia roja Oreochromis spp. Para ejecutarlo se realizó un diseño completamente al azar en el laboratorio LAMA de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín, con seis tanques de 500 L (tres por tratamiento), donde fueron distribuidos 360 juveniles de tilapia roja (12,4 ± 1,2 g), que fueron muestreados los días de recepción, 15, 30, 45 y 60 del experimento. La biomasa fue mayor (P<0,05) en BFT y el factor de conversión alimenticia fue 40 % menor en el BFT con respecto al RAS. Los monocitos fueron mayores (P<0,05) en BFT sin salir del rango normal. Fue mejor la salud branquial en el BFT y no hubo diferencia significativa en el microbioma intestinal entre tratamientos. En conclusión, la tilapia mostró mejores parámetros zootécnicos y condiciones sanitarias aceptables para su producción en el BFT. (Texto tomado de la fuente)The health of tilapia is a primary issue to achieve good productive results and the environment where the fish reside has a substantial influence on this. The RAS (aquaculture recirculation system) and BFT (biofloc technology) are two intensive and biotechnological production systems because they benefit from microorganisms for their proper functioning, but this microbiota may be in contact with the fish (especially in the BFT) producing some uncertainty in terms of biosecurity. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of the RAS and BFT production systems on productive and health parameters (leukocyte count and histological evaluation of gills and intestine) and the intestinal microbiota in red tilapia Oreochromis spp. To execute it, a completely randomized design was carried out in the LAMA laboratory of the National University of Colombia, Medellín campus, with six 500 L tanks (three per treatment), where 360 juvenile red tilapia (12.4 ± 1, 2 g), which were sampled on reception day, 15, 30, 45 and 60 of the experiment. The biomass was higher (P <0.05) and the feed conversion factor was 40% lower in the BFT concerning the RAS respectively. Monocytes were higher (P <0.05) in BFT without leaving the normal range. Gill health was better in BFT, and there was no significant difference in gut microbiome between treatments. In conclusion, tilapia showed better zootechnical performance and acceptable sanitary conditions for its production in the BFT.MaestríaMagíster en Ciencias - BiotecnologíaAcuicultura responsabl
