“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy
Analisi dei trascritti degli alleli CSN1S1 A, F e N di capra
No full textIl locus della caseina as1 (CSN1S1) di capra si caratterizza per almeno 17 alleli associati a diversi livelli di sintesi (da 3,5 a 0,0 g/l per allele). Attualmente sono noti gran parte degli eventi molecolari che li caratterizzano. In particolare, l’allele CSN1S1N, associato ad un contenuto apparentemente nullo di caseina as1, si differenzia dall’allele CSN1S1A per la sola delezione di una C al 23° nt del 9° esone, responsabile della formazione di uno stop codon prematuro al 12°esone, mentre l’associazione di tale mutazione con due inserzioni di 11 e 3 bp nel 9° introne è responsabile del contenuto ridotto (~0,45g/l) associato all’allele F. L’obiettivo del presente lavoro è stato quello di comprendere le basi molecolari responsabili del diverso livello di espressione degli alleli CSN1S1N e F attraverso l’analisi ed il confronto dei trascritti prodotti.
L’RNA totale è stato estratto dalle cellule somatiche recuperate dai campioni di latte di tre individui di genotipo CSN1S1AA, CSN1S1FF e CSN1S1NN. Mediante RT-PCR sono stati amplificati i cDNA relativi ai trascritti che codificano per la proteina s1 utilizzando primer disegnati sul 1° e 19° esone. I cDNA ottenuti sono stati clonati, sottoposti a screening e sequenziati.
L’analisi dei trascritti prodotti dagli alleli CSN1S1A, F e N ha messo in evidenza la formazione, oltre che di un mRNA correttamente assemblato (87,4%, 12% e 24,5%, rispettivamente), di almeno altre 4, 8 e 11 diverse popolazioni di mRNA. Le popolazioni dolete dell’allele CSN1S1A si caratterizzano per lo splicing alternativo degli esoni 13, 16 e 17, e del 1°codone dell’11°esone, mentre quelle trascritte dagli alleli CSN1S1F e N, per l’assenza dell’esone 9 e/o degli esoni 10, 11, 13, 16 e 17, oltre che del 1° codone dell’11°esone, in diverse combinazioni. In particolare per l’allele N si osserva un’incidenza maggiore dei trascritti caratterizzati da uno stop codon prematuro rispetto all’allele F (~ 30% vs 12%).
L’analisi dei trascritti mette in evidenza eventi costitutivi (allele indipendente) che si realizzano durante la maturazione del pre-mRNA: rimozione casuale degli esoni 13, 16 e 17 e rimozione casuale del 1° codone dell’11° esone. Gli eventi, invece, che conducono alla sintesi di trascritti deleti degli esoni 9, 10 e 11 (prodotti dagli alleli CSN1S1 N e F) potrebbero essere la conseguenza di un delicato “meccanismo di sopravvivenza dell’mRNA” che opera nel tentativo di impedire la formazione di proteine “tronche” o inattive, attraverso la “degradazione mediata dal codone nonsenso” di mRNA che contengono stop codon prematuri, conferendo un vantaggio selettivo per la possibile traduzione di proteine parzialmente delete, potenzialmente funzionali attraverso la formazione di trascritti con delezioni che riportano in frame l’mRNA (delezione del 9° esone)

This duplicity was a mistake by the author: the latter is an erroneous designation and should be disregarded. The only valid paratype lots for M. benthovus are the ones shown above.Published as part of Cavallari, Daniel C., Dornellas, Ana Paula S. & Simone, Luiz Ricardo L., 2016, Second annotated list of type specimens of molluscs deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, pp. 1-59 in European Journal of Taxonomy 213 on page 10, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2016.213, http://zenodo.org/record/384012
Recording and playback techniques employed for the Urban Sounds project
No full textThe “Urban Sounds” project, born from a cooperation of the Industrial Engineering Department - University of
Parma with the municipal institution La Casa della Musica, aims to record characteristic soundscapes in the town of
Parma with a dual purpose: delivering to posterity an archive of recorded sound fields to document Parma in 2012,
employing advanced 3D surround recording techniques, and creation of a “musical” Ambisonics composition for
leading the audience through a virtual tour of the town.
The archive includes recordings of various “soundscapes”, such as streets, squares, schools, churches, meeting
places, public parks, train station, airport and everything was considered peculiar of the town. This paper details the
advanced digital sound processing techniques employed for recording, processing and playback
Was bringt die Föderalismusreform? Wahrscheinliche Effekte der geänderten Zustimmungspflicht
No full textThe recently enacted reform of German federalism is supposed to make legislation faster, more efficient and better. To what extent are these expectations justified? In order to assess the likely effects of the reform, this study uses a research design that was recently applied by the Research and Reference Services of the German Bundestag (parliament): we estimate the future effects of the reform by analyzing the impact it would have had on the legislation in the 14th and 15th term of the Bundestag if it had already been been in force at that time. In particular we ask: To what extent would the number of laws requiring the consent of the states' chamber, the Bundesrat, have been reduced? Which type of laws would have been affected by this reduction - the more controversial ones, or the less controversial ones? Which policy sectors would have seen the greatest reduction? How much would the reduction have increased the government's capacity to act effectively? Would the legislative process have been accelerated? -- Die verabschiedete Föderalismusreform soll die Gesetzgebung in Deutschland schneller, effizienter und besser machen. Inwiefern sind diese Erwartungen berechtigt? Zur Abschätzung der Reformfolgen auf die Bundesgesetzgebung folgen wir in dem vorliegenden Working Paper einer Vorgehensweise, die der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages kürzlich in einer Studie angewandt hat: Die Auswirkungen der Föderalismusreform insbesondere auf die Zustimmungspflicht werden anhand der Gesetzgebung der 14. und 15. Legislaturperiode untersucht. Wir fragen insbesondere: Wie stark hätte sich der Anteil der Zustimmungsgesetze verringert, wenn die neuen Zustimmungsregeln schon in diesen beiden Legislaturperioden gegolten hätten? Wären eher zwischen Regierung strittige oder unstrittige Gesetze von der Zustimmungspflicht befreit worden? Welche Politikbereiche wären betroffen? Wie sehr hätte sich die politische Handlungsfreiheit der Bundesregierung erhöht? Wäre die Gesetzgebung durch die veränderten Zustimmungsregeln beschleunigt worden?

No full textIdea ofiary u Simone Weil
No full textAutorka omawia ofiarę, jaką z samej siebie złożyła Simone Weil. Głównym celem autorki artykułu jest wykazanie, iż idea ofiary była najważniejszą myślą w życiu francuskiej filozof. W artykule ukazano myśl o ofierze w życiu i pismach intelektualistki, jak również analogie, które rzucają nowe światło na ofiarę Weil. Jako klucz do interpretacji i zrozumienia ofiary Weil, autorka analizuje myśl Emmanuela Levinasa oraz Józefa Tischnera.The author interprets the sacrifice that Simone Weil filed with itself. The main point of the present article is the assumption that the sacrifice Simone Weil was the most important idea of her life. A thought about the victim is portraying the article in the life and letters of the intellectual, as well as is portraying analogies which are shedding new light on the Weil victim. As the key to interpretation and understanding the her victim, the author is analysing the thought of Emmanuel Levinas and Jozef Tischner.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.
