De Rubem Fonseca a Paulo Lins: a violência na literatura dos 90
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Este trabalho procura verificar a forma pela qual se dá a presença da violência na literatura brasileira dos anos 1990, buscando entender o significado social dessa violência, passo necessário para se entender, inclusive, a relação entre a forma literária assentada na violência e a formação social do Brasil contemporâneo. Procuramos analisar o romance Agosto de Rubem Fonseca e entender seu significado como romance histórico nos anos 90, década em que se tentava encerrar de vez as aspirações nacionais dos anos 50, época narrada no livro. Igualmente imerso na temática da violência e revelador das características fragmentárias dos anos 90, temos o romance Cidade de Deus, de Paulo Lins, que, como romance etnográfico, procura dar voz a uma população normalmente silenciada e vítima do próprio processo de violenta modernização e falta de perspectivas dos anos 90. Diante das questões sobre a violência na literatura e em nossa própria sociedade, em sua faceta interpessoal e cotidiana, o estudo desses dois romances é importante para compreendermos não só os caminhos de nossa literatura, em termos de uma tradição literária, mas também a maneira como sua estrutura pode nos ajudar a entender a dinâmica de nossa própria sociedade nos anos 90.This work intends to verify the form in which violence is present in the Brazilian literature of the 1990´s, aiming to understand the social meaning of this violence, step required to also understand the relation between the literary form grounded on violence and the social formation of contemporary Brazil. We proceed to analyze the Rubem Fonseca´s Agosto novel trying to understand its meaning as an historic novel written during the 90´s, a decade where it was bound to finish the national aspirations so the 50´s, the narrated period. Equally immersed in the violence theme and revealing the fragmentary characteristics of the 90´s, we have Paulo Lins´s novel Cidade de Deus, which, as an ethnographic novel, intend to give voice to a population usually silenced and victim of a process of violent modernization and lack of perspectives in the 90´s. Facing questions about violence in literature and violence in our own society, in its daily interpersonal display, the study of these novels are important for the comprehension of not only the paths of our literature, in terms of a literary tradition, but also the way in which its structure can help us understand the dynamics of our own society in the 90´s
Concentrating on Creation: Following Christ in a Context of Climate Change
No full textClimate change is arguably the greatest challenge facing humanity and the planet today. It invites theologians, just as much as anyone else, to consider what we might do in the situation in which we find ourselves. In responding, our action must be informed by theory that helps us to act differently, as we seek a better future for our planet. The theologian also knows that we do not act alone, so an interrelated account needs to be fashioned, which speaks of human and divine action, and of the connection between activity and rest. This article seeks to develop just such a response – though, conscious of the scale of the task, it does so in just two areas.Drawing on the creation-faith of Edward Schillebeeckx, the first theme explored here is that of the interaction between critical negativity and critical positivity. His dialectical account offers the possibility of developing a distinctive form of the interplay between the positive and negative aspects in his theology that can legitimately be called critical optimism. In this spirit, the theme of human and ecological solidarity is considered, suggesting that developing this theme sequela Schillebeeckx can play a helpful role in the dialogue between Church and society that is one of the aims of public theology. Considering some recent initiatives in the UK, the article argues that Christians can show, by the way they act in society, what kind of human and ecological solidarity they are choosing to live out, and thereby what kind of human beings they are choosing to be and to become. Living a simple and sustainable lifestyle, in solidarity with all creatures, is a way of following Jesus that can be a powerful witness to Christianity today, and make an important contribution to debates about climate change.© 2017, Stephen van Erp, Martin G.

Martin Williams and the Armstrongian prophecy
No full textThis study examines the place of Louis Armstrong in the work of the jazz critic Martin Williams. By tallying Williams’s lasting interest in Armstrong from his teenage years to his last projects, the study shows that the critic’s focus on Armstrong’s rhythmic innovation depended on the argument that this particular aspect of Armstrong’s art was the major axis in the development of jazz history, an axis crucial to the emergence of other jazz musicians deemed most significant by Williams. The study further shows that Williams’s approach was most heavily influenced by the literary criticism of T. S. Eliot and the foundationalism of André Hodeir, and that Williams’s persistent interest in aesthetic lineage could be traced to the ambivalence he felt toward his own parentage.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Michael Tom L
Event reconstruction algorithms for the ATLAS trigger
No full textThe ATLAS experiment under construction at CERN is due to begin operation at the end of 2007. The detector will record the results of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. The trigger is a three-tier system designed to identify in real-time potentially interesting events that are then saved for detailed offline analysis. The trigger system will select approximately 200 Hz of potentially interesting events out of the 40 MHz bunch-crossing rate (with 109 interactions per second at the nominal luminosity).
Algorithms used in the trigger system to identify different event features of interest will be described, as well as their expected performance in terms of selection efficiency, background rejection and computation time per event. The talk will concentrate on recent improvements and on performance studies, using a very detailed simulation of the ATLAS detector and electronics chain that emulates the raw data as it will appear at the input to the trigger system

METHODOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF THE BOOKS OF NEW TIPE TO AROUSE INTEREST TO READING (LINOR GORALIK «MARTIN DOESN’T CRY»)
No full textBased on the book «Martin Doesn’t Cry» by L. Goralik we study specific features of the new genre of literature in which verbal and visual components are equally used by the author. The works by L. Goralik tend to depict contemporary life on the basis of tradition: the story of the elephant called Martin is allusive to the story «Elephant» by A.I. Kuprin. It is shown that the “new format” of the book is closely connected with the fantastic events of the story and the creative ideas of the author, who is the writer and artist at the same time. Some ways of visualization of the prose used in L.Goralik’s story are discussed, among them: arrangement of the page, font and pictures. Methodological potential of the book is beyond doubt, as books of the new type arouse students’ interest to reading and motivate them to write their own stories
Exploiting knowledge of immune selection in HIV-1 to detect HIV-specific CD8 T-cell responses
No full textSince HLA-restricted cytotoxic T-cell responses select specific polymorphisms in HIV-1 sequences and HLA diversity is relatively static in human populations, we investigated the use of peptide epitopes based on sites of HLA-associated adaptation in HIV-1 sequences to stimulate and detect T-cell responses ex vivo. These "HLA-optimised" peptides captured more HIV-1 Nef-specific responses compared with overlapping peptides of a single consensus sequence, in interferon-γ enzyme linked immunospot assays. Sites of immune selection can reveal more immunogenic epitopes in HLA-diverse populations and offer insights into the nature of HLA-epitope targeting, which could be applied in vaccine design
