Annie Ernaux\u27s Passion Simple and Se Perdre: Proust\u27s \u27Amour-Maladie\u27 Revisited and Revised
No full textAt first blush it may seem that Marcel Proust and Annie Ernaux have little in common. The author a A la recherche du temps perdu depends extensively on metaphor and serpentine sentences which culminate in a three-thousand-page work while the more contemporary writer rejects prolixity and imagery and produces dramatically briefer texts.

Акцентируется внимание на отсутствии в Гражданском кодексе Республики Беларусь указания на срок реализации названного преимущественного права, способ и срок его правовой защиты. Предлагается авторское видение внесения предложений по совершенствованию гражданского законодательства Республики Беларусь по исследуемому вопросу = The peculiarities of the legal regulation of the priority right of a person who has declared public tender to make a TRIPS agreement with the author in the domestic legislation and in the legislation of the EAEU member states are considered. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Civil Code of the Republic of Belarus does not specify the period of
execution of the mentioned above priority right, does not define the method and term of its legal protection. The author’s vision of improvement of the civil legislation of the Republic of Belarus on the studied question is offered
Language, Translation and the Promotion of National Identity
No full textAbstract
This article examines two test cases involving the translation of works of literature into minority languages: the translation into contemporary Scots of Les belles-soeurs by Québec playwright Michel Tremblay and the translation into Romansch of The House at Pooh Corner by British children's author A. A. Milne. In both cases, translation is perceived as a means of exercising the language, developing its resources and thus ensuring its survival. In strengthening the minority language and culture, translation is seen as a way of promoting national identity.</jats:p
BEYOND THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD: POSTHUMANISM IN A. A. MILNE’S WINNIE-THE-POOH
No full textChildrenâs literature is a field of study that contributes to the evolution of the posthuman. English author A. A. Milneâs prominent book, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), is set in a posthuman space, the Hundred Acre Wood, inhabited by the human character, Christopher Robin and his animal friends in harmony. The book sets a balance between the human and the nonhuman, culture and nature, reason and sensation. The study analyses how Winnie-the-Pooh exemplifies the exercise of posthumanism in a childrenâs work to enlighten how the boundaries between the human and the nonhuman are blurred, animal agency and nonhuman subjectivity are constructed in the book, and how communication and nonhuman expressivity transgress anthropocentric language and rationalist discourse by adopting a posthuman approach. Thus, the study reveals that Winnie-the-Pooh contributes to the comprehension and exercise of posthumanism through stories for child readers, transgressing the boundaries set by anthropocentricism in the Disney production of the book
A quick trip through fibration structures
No full textIn this article we review the classical results about the existence of fibered structures for real and complex singularities in the local setting, commonly known in the literature as Milnor’s fibration structures. After reviewing the classical studies, we describe some generalizations in two main directions, namely, the existence of open book structures on semi- algebraic manifolds, and the existence of the Milnor fibration in a stratified sense. The author A. A. do Espirito Santo thanks Professor Juliana Roberta Theodoro de Lima (UFAL) and also thanks his home institution Federal University of Recôncavo of Bahia (UFRB) for supporting his post doc period at Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL).

Winnie the Pooh in the classroom
No full textIn this master’s thesis, I have chosen to write about Winnie the Pooh, and the main characters of four children’s books written by Alan Alexander Milne and illustrated by E.H. Sheppard. The statement of hypothesis is: Can the characters in Winnie the Pooh be argued to be personifications of the various traits of Christopher Robin? And what can these traits tell us, when shown, in a pupil? To answer this hypothesis I have made use of Glynis Hannell's book Identifying Children with Special Needs in reference to the characters and students. The discussion sets out to show that the traits of the characters in Winnie the Pooh can be found in every classroom and that some of the traits may, or may not, be a symptom of a disorder. In the cases where the trait may have a connection to a disorder, the disorder in question is also addressed. Further, the thesis contains chapters about the author, A. A. Milne, his son, the real Christopher Robin, and various critic’s views and interpretations of the Winnie the Pooh stories
From Book to Movie. What is Lost in the "Disneyfication” of Winnie-the-Pooh?
No full textWinnie-the-Pooh is a universally known character. His friendly and cuddly appearance makes it easy for children and their parents to fall in love with him.
The stories about Winnie-the-Pooh are written in the 1920’s by the British author A. A. Milne. What he originally intended to be bedtime stories for his son ended up being bedtime stories for millions of children all over the world. The stories are about the young boy Christopher Robin and his stuffed animals and the wonderful adventures they enjoy together in an imaginary place in the Forest.
In 1961 the Walt Disney Corporation acquired the movie rights to Winnie-the-Pooh. Over the years the Disney Corporation has marketed Winnie the Pooh globally and still to this day he is one of the most popular characters in the Disney Parks and a renowned trademark realized in all sorts of merchandise. The question that will be explored in this essey is whether Disney has changed Winnie-the-Pooh from the bear that Milne originally wrote about? If so, what has been lost in the “Disneyfication” of Winnie the Pooh: The transformation from Milne’s version of Winnie-the-Pooh to the Disney version of Winnie the Pooh.
In order to do this it is necessary to explore the book and its background and compare it to the movie made by Disney. This involves looking at the author, his background and motivation, secondary literature on the subject and contemporary and present day critique. Having explored the aforementioned, the essay will be concluded by answering the thesis question and supportive argument to that effect put forward
Comparing Rates of Distal Edge Necrosis in Deep-Plane vs Subcutaneous Cervicofacial Rotation-Advancement Flaps for Facial Cutaneous Mohs Defects
No full textIMPORTANCE The cervicofacial rotation-advancement flap is commonly used for facial defects. Decreasing the rate of distal edge necrosis (DEN) encountered with this flap would help prevent complications in sensitive areas such as the eyelid, lip, and nose. OBJECTIVE To compare the untoward occurrence of DEN between 2 surgical dissection methods for reconstructive cervicofacial rotation-advancement flaps. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND EXPOSURE A review was conducted of 88 patients who underwent cervicofacial flap reconstruction for Mohs ablative surgery between January 1, 2003, and June 30, 2012, by the senior author (A. A. J.). All patients had periorbital, midfacial, cervical, and/or lateral temporal/forehead defects following Mohs surgical ablation. Patients were categorized into 1 of 2 groups on the basis of the surgical technique used: subcutaneous (SC) cervicofacial elevation or deep-plane (DP) cervicofacial elevation. Subcategories of smokers and nonsmokers within each group were further reviewed. Statistical analysis of DEN between categories and subcategories was performed. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients were in the SC group and 19 were in the DP group. The mean defect size among both groups was 14.3 cm(2). The rate of active or recent smokers was 23% in the SC group and 11% in the DP group. The rate of DEN among nonsmokers in the SC group was 23%(n = 53) compared with 0% in the 17 DP nonsmokers (P = .03). The rate of smokers with DEN in the SC group was 75% and 0% in the DP group (P = .09). The mean area of DEN in the SC group was 0.8 cm(2). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Our statistically significant data indicate that DP dissection is a superior technique for avoiding DEN in nonsmokers. We found better outcomes in smokers as well. Thus, we strongly advocate the use of the DP approach as the criterion standard in cervicofacial flap elevation
