Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

No full textLetter from Cecilia Shepperd from the National Training School in Kansas City, Missouri to Caleb Foote, writing that the school could "take care of 3 young Japanese women," and asking Foote to follow up with school president Cloyd V. Gustafson, "a strong F.O.R. man from California."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Santa Cecilia Acatitlán: Estado de México
No full textLa información de esta miniguía se basa en los trabajos de Felipe Solís.Durante el periodo Postclásico Tardío (12OO a 1521 d.C.) se llevaron a cabo en la Cuenca de México grandes movimientos culturales y migratorios que originaron uno de los más importantes desarrollos del México antiguo: el de los mexicas. El estudio de los materiales arqueológicos recuperados en las primeras exploraciones -escultura y cerámica- , así como de las características arquitectónicas del edificio que Brasero ceremonial, parte superior del basamento se conserva, no han permitido conocer la extensión del sitio, el número de edificios que conformaban el centro, ni cuáles eran las zonas de habitación. Sin embargo, se sabe que su economía estuvo ligada a los depósitos lacustres de agua dulce o salada y a la agricultura. Se explotaron la fauna, la flora, la sal y el tequesquite, este último se utilizaba en el proceso de cocción del maíz. Se ha descubierto que Acatitlan está cultural y políticamente ligado a los mexicas, aunque no se le menciona en los textos indígenas de la época ni en las fuentes históricas de la conquista o de la Colonia, por lo cual se supone que fue abandonado antes del arribo de los españoles.</p

Immunohistochemical determination of Ang-1, Ang-2 and Tie-2 in placentas of sows at 30, 60 and 114 days of gestation and validation through a bioinformatic approach
No full textAngiopoietins (Ang-1, Ang-2) participate in vascular development and placental growth, both bind to Tie-2. This study aimed to determine the localization of angiopoietins in placental development of sows by immunohistochemistry and to validate the gene expression during gestation through a bioinformatic approach. Samples were collected from fifteen maternal-fetal interface from approximately 30 (n = 5), 60 (n = 5) and 114 (n = 5) days of gestation for immunohistochemistry. A bioinformatic approach was performed by re-analysis of public datasets to determine the increase or decrease of genes involved in angiogenesis during pregnancy. There was no significant statistical difference of Ang-1 during gestation, although there was a tendency to increase from mid- to term-gestation (P = 0.7680). A notable decrease of Ang-2 was observed from early- to term-pregnancy (P ≤ 0.05), consistent with the gene expression determined through bioinformatics. Furthermore, there were greater abundances of Tie-2 at both early and at term periods, but lesser abundances at mid-gestation (P ≤ 0.05). The bioinformatics approach indicated that genes related to biological processes such as angiogenesis (i.e., development and morphogenesis of blood vessels) were expressed to a greater extent in early gestation as compared with later in gestation. The Ang-1 gene expression related to cell maturation, response to hypoxia and apoptosis, however, increased as gestation period advanced. In conclusion, angiopoietins may have an important role in the vascular development thus ensuring adequate placental growth in sows. The presence of angiopoietins in the trophoblast suggests a specific role for these pro-angiogenic factors in the tissue formation at the maternal-fetal interface.Fil: Fiorimanti, Mariana Rita.

Chemokine and prolactin secretion is modified by Ang II and Ang-(1-7) in decidualized compared to non-decidualized human endometrial stromal cells (T-HESC)
No full textTo analyze the effect of Ang II and Ang-(1-7) on the secretory profile of human endometrial stromal cells (T-HESC) decidualized in vitro. T-HESC were incubated or not (control) with dibutiryl-cAMP+medroxyprogesterone acetate (db-cAMP+MPA), with or without estradiol (E2) for 4 or 6 days (d). The peptides (125-500 nM) were added at time 0, or 4d. The participation of Ang II receptors, Ang-(1-7) receptor Mas, and NFAT, was analyzed by preincubation with losartan, PD123319, A-779, and INCA-6, respectively, prior to stimulation with the peptides. Prolactin (PRL), IL-8 and MCP-1 levels in 2 or 6d culture supernatants, were determined by ELISA. Differences were considered statistically significant with p <0.05. Ang II nor Ang-(1-7) induced PRL secretion. Respect to control, IL-8, but not MCP-1 levels, increased after 2d with Ang II, effect inhibited by losartan.Ang II or Ang-(1-7) cannot induce decidualization of T-HESC; once induced, it would be enhanced by Ang II and disadvantaged by Ang-(1-7). The peptides differentially regulates the production of chemokines in the endometrial stroma, showing opposite effects in non-decidualized compared to decidualized cells. Ang II and Ang-(1-7) would be acting through AT1R/NFAT and Mas, respectively.Fil: Sotelo, Agustina Daniela. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Ang Kasama: Agapay na Sanaysay sa Librong Kampuhan (The Comrade: A Companion Essay to the Book Kampuhan)
No full textAng sanaysay na ito ay mungkahing pagbasa ng aking librong Kampuhan (2024), koleksyon ng 55 tula tungkol sa buhay ng mga rebolusyonaryo sa isang lihim na kampo. Hango sa komponenteng poetika ng aking tesis masterado na may parehong pamagat, ang sanaysay ay pinaikling bersyon ng seksyong tumututok sa Teorya ng Comrade ni Jodi Dean (2020) bilang balangkas at perspektiba sa pag-unawa sa mga persona at bagay at sa kaligiran nila sa mga tula.
Hinahapag ni Dean ang Comrade bilang lagom ng praktis ng komunismo at unyonismo sa buong mundo sa pamamagitan ng apat na tesis ng kasama na nagpapagitaw sa mga katangiang esensyal sa isang komunista. Sa ganito’y lumilinaw ang Comrade bilang teorya ng “politikal na pakikibahagi.” Para ganap na maisalin ang Comrade tungong Kasama, dumaan ito sa pagdadalisay ng Kapwa (Virgilio Enriquez, 1983), at sa proseso’y iginigiit ng papel na ang Kasama ay ang politikal na Kapwa. Gamit ang Kasama bilang balangkas, mababasa sa mga tula ang mga halimbawa ng bawat tesis ng Kasama. Sa ganito’y naipapakilala ang kasama sa paraan ng pagtula sa karaniwan at pang-araw-araw na buhay at karanasan ng mga rebolusyonaryo sa kampuhan. Sa pagbasang ito, iginigiit kong ang ninanais talaga ng koleksyon ay makaharap at makilala, makamayan marahil, ng mambabasa ang kasama/komunista.
This essay proposes a reading of my book, Kampuhan (2024), a collection of 55 poems about the life of revolutionaries in a secret encampment. Adapted from the poetics component of my master’s thesis of the same title, the essay is a shortened version of the section that focuses on Jodi Dean’s Theory of the Comrade (2020) as a framework and perspective in understanding the personas and objects, and their milieu as depicted in the poems.
Dean presents the Comrade as a summing up of the practice of communism and unionism in the world using the four theses of the comrade which highlight the essential qualities of a communist, thereby making clear the Comrade as a theory of “political belonging”. I employ Virgilio Enriquez’s Kapwa (1983) as the filter to fully translate Comrade into Kasama, and in doing so, I assert that the Kasama is the political Kapwa. Using Kasama as the framework, the readers will see the ordinary and everyday life of revolutionaries in the camp as examples the theses of the comrade/kasama. Through this reading, I assert that the collection ultimately wants the reader to meet, perhaps shake the hand, of the comrade/communist
