Villiers de L´Isle-Adam: tradução e exorcismo ou a propósito das palavras pesadas em balanças de teias de aranha e do fantástico em Claire Lenoir
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011A presente tese é fundamentada na obra Tribulat Bonhomet, de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam (1838-1889). Obra composta de quatro contos e uma novela. Tanto a obra quanto o autor permitem muitas reflexões acerca da literatura, desde a literatura de humor até a de horror, mas sobretudo literatura fantástica. E é sobre esta que me detenho, especificamente na novela Claire Lenoir. Como Tribulat Bonhomet permanece inédito em português, apresento uma tradução e sobre essa tradução ? que se encontra ao fim, como anexo ? elaborei minha tese, sobre uma via dupla: tradução e teoria literária. Dedico o Capítulo 1 a essa duplicidade, separadamente, apresentando em 1.1 a literatura fantástica, fazendo o esboço de um tipo de literatura que provoca um exorcismo do real, um afastamento entre o leitor e a realidade. Na seqüência, em 1.2 abordo as perspectivas de tradução de um texto literário, a partir, principalmente, de Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) e Antoine Berman (1942-1991). Ambos os tópicos servirão de base para os dois capítulos subseqüentes. No Capítulo 2, dedico-me ao processo de tradução do romance, levando em conta as perspectivas abordadas no Capítulo 1.2, fazendo comentários acerca da tradução e comparando-a com outras traduções. Por último, no Capítulo 3, partindo da forma como Villiers de L'Isle-Adam mescla realidade e ficção ? e tomo aí como base o texto traduzido ? retomo os temas esboçados no Capítulo 1.1, da literatura fantástica, para especificar os elementos estranhos que geram o fantástico na obra e provocam um exorcismo do real. A conclusão, portanto, dá-se sobre uma duplicidade: há um exorcismo do real na literatura fantástica; e há um exorcismo do real em Villiers ? mediante a inserção de elementos fantásticos.Cette thèse est basée sur l'oeuvre Tribulat Bonhomet, de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam (1838-1889). Oeuvre composée de quatre récits et une nouvelle. L'oeuvre et l'auteur permettent de nombreuses réflexions sur la littérature, de la littérature d'humour jusqu´à l'horreur, mais surtout sur la littérature fantastique. Et c'est sur cette dernière que je me pencherai spécifiquement avec la nouvelle Claire Lenoir. Comme Tribulat Bonhomet reste inédite en portugais, je présente une traduction, et c´est sur cette traduction ? qui se trouve en fin de volume en pièce jointe ? que j´ai élaboré ma thèse selon une double voie: la traduction et la théorie littéraire. Je consacre le Chapitre 1 à cette duplicité, séparément, en présentant en 1.1 la littérature fantastique, faisant le croquis d'un type de littérature qui provoque un exorcisme du réel, une distanciation entre le lecteur et la réalité. Ensuite, en 1.2 je discute sur les perspectives de la traduction d'un texte littéraire, à partir, principalement, de Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) et d'Antoine Berman (1942-1991). Les deux thèmes formeront la base des deux chapitres suivants. Dans le Chapitre 2, je me consacre au processus de traduction de l'oeuvre, en tenant compte des perspectives discutées dans la partie 1.2, en faisant des commentaires concernant la traduction et en la comparant à d'autres traductions. Enfin, au Chapitre 3, à partir de la manière dont Villiers de L'Isle-Adam mélange fiction et réalité ? et je me base ici à partir du texte traduit ? je reprends les thèmes mentionnés dans le Chapitre 1.1, sur la littérature fantastique, en précisant que des éléments étranges génèrent le fantastique dans l'oeuvre et provoquent un exorcisme du réel. La conclusion, donc, se fonde sur une duplicité: il est un exorcisme du réel dans la littérature fantastique, et il est un exorcisme du réel chez Villiers ? par l'inclusion d'éléments fantastiques

Latin America's experience with export subsidies
No full textTwenty years ago, it ws believed that export subsidies would produce more diversification and better export performance. This has not happened. In most cases, export subsidies were not supported by more open import policies - so subsidies reduced only marginally the anti-export bias of Latin American countries. Unstable real exchange rates have also hurt exports. Export subsidies appear to have improved exports in Brazil, which also liberalized imports, stabilized exchange rates, and promoted other policies conducive to export growth. Yet Mexico, after reducing import barriers, also enjoyed improved exports - with minimum export subsidies, and with apparently lower social costs than Brazil experienced. Export subsidies have failed in other Latin American countries - and particularly hurt development in Argentina, where fraud, corruption, and rent-seeking have been rampant. The author contends that the failure of export subsidies should remind us of the importance of distinguishing what is possible from what is likely. Finally, export subsidies compete with other government programs, and, considering their failure rate, the money might be better spent on infrastructure, health, and education projects.Tax Law,Economic Theory&Research,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Stabilization
High-speed optical measurements of an under-expanded supersonic jet impinging on an inclined plate.
No full text<p>A series of ultra-high-speed Schlieren and shadowgraphy images are captured at 1,000,000 frames per second to characterise eight instability modes that exist for an underexpanded supersonic jet as it impinges on perpendicular and inclined surfaces. The use of these high-speed imaging techniques allows the visualisation of these instabilities in real time, without the need to employ phase-locked methods as has been done previously. It is found that the axial instability modes show a greater degree of oscillation than the helical modes, and that the degree of oscillation increases as the impingement distance is reduced. Evidence is also presented that suggests an acoustic feedback loop exists within inclined impinging jets.</p><p><br></p><p>The results of this work is published in:</p><p><br></p><p>Adam Risborg, Julio Soria, "High-speed optical measurements of an underexpanded supersonic jet impinging on an inclined plate," Proc.

Injecting Adam Smith's ideas in the market for kidney transplants
No full textOrgans for transplantation are extremely valuable, and their shortage has become one of the most burning public policy issues in most countries with developed transplant programs. Could the kidney transplantation system benefit from an injection of Adam Smith's ideas? In this paper, we combine Adam Smith's ideas of both The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations to analyze the main developments of the market for kidney transplantation, including kidney exchange, default rules for deceased donations (presumed consent versus informed consent), priority rules, and proposals to pay organ donors. Injecting Adam Smith's ideas into this problem bring new insights in terms of public policy and market design. For instance, his theory of equalizing differences, exposed in Book I, Chapter X, of the Wealth of Nations, provide a base to estimate what would be the price of a kidney in a legal market (Becker and Elias 2007). His views about human decisions struggling between "passions" and the "impartial spectator" and on the difficulties of organizing the economic life appealing mainly to benevolence, and other sentiments toward close ones, are illuminating for policy design of any system of donation (paid, non-directed donations, or exchanges) by providing an understanding of what motivates people in the context of markets. Considering Adam Smith's ideas, we also evaluate many restrictions currently in place in the market for kidney transplantations that impose severe limits on individual decisions, some of them to make up for a possible lack of self-command. We hope we show with our analysis not only the topicality of Smith's ideas but the importance for the economic analysis of combining both the Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations, and not to consider them separately as isolated masterpieces
Non-competitive reversible inhibition of laccase by H2O2 in osmium mediated layer-by-layer multilayer O2 biocathodes
No full textA systematic study of the inhibition of laccase by hydrogen peroxide in oxygen biocathodes composed of layer-by-layer selfassembled multilayers of Trametes-trogii laccase and osmium derivatized poly(allylamine) redox mediator has been accomplished using a rotating disc electrode at different electrode potentials, oxygen partial pressures and hydrogen peroxide concentrations. The experimental results are consistent with a reversible non-competitive inhibition mechanism in agreement with the Solomon mechanism for laccase previously reported.Fil: Grattieri, Matteo.

Política cultural: Julio Cesar Trujillo
No full textThe text, a lecture by Dr. Julio César Trujillo, analyzes the period of transition Ecuador is experiencing, marked by the emergence of new times starting in the 1970s, driven by industrialization, urbanization, and oil exploitation. Trujillo argues that the country is at the threshold of a new era , where old values and ways of life are losing relevance, while new ones are not yet fully defined, generating deep social insecurity and confusion. It details how this transformation affects spheres such as the economy (gigantic projects), culture (mass media), politics (loss of the religious-based left/right division), and daily life (multifamily housing, new needs, and greater demand for job specialization). The author stresses that modern science and technology are advancing rapidly, have become a costly commodity, and require a specialization that the country lacks, exacerbating external dependence. In this context, Trujillo insists on the urgent need to design a cultural policy for Ecuador to rescue its own values, build a more just and humane society (addressing social marginalization) , and overcome the national characteristic of being a culturally fragmented and disintegrated people.El texto, una conferencia de Dr. Julio César Trujillo, analiza el período de transición que vive Ecuador, marcado por la emergencia de nuevos tiempos a partir de la década de 1970, impulsados por la industrialización, la urbanización y la explotación petrolera. Trujillo argumenta que el país se encuentra en los umbrales de una nueva época , donde los antiguos juicios de valor y modos de vida están perdiendo vigencia, mientras que los nuevos aún no están plenamente definidos, generando una profunda zozobra, inseguridad y confusión social. Se detalla cómo esta transformación afecta esferas como la economía (obras gigantescas), la cultura (medios de comunicación), la política (pérdida de la división izquierda/derecha por motivos religiosos), y la vida diaria (vivienda multifamiliar, nuevas necesidades, y mayor exigencia de especialización laboral). El autor subraya que la ciencia y la tecnología modernas avanzan rápidamente, se han convertido en una mercancía costosa y requieren una especialización de la que el país carece, exacerbando la dependencia externa. En este contexto, Trujillo insiste en la urgente necesidad de diseñar una política cultural para Ecuador que permita rescatar los valores propios, construir una sociedad más justa y humana (abordando la marginación social) , y superar la característica nacional de ser un pueblo culturalmente escindido y desintegrado
