Memórias da colonização: ficção e realidade em O guarda-roupa alemão, de Lausimar Laus
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2012Este estudo é a análise do romance O guarda-roupa alemão de Lausimar Laus, publicado em 1975, uma das narrativas que descrevem a colonização alemã no Vale do Itajaí, em Santa Catarina. Refletindo sobre questões relacionadas a certa mitificação da figura do imigrante alemão e de sua identidade cultural, à luz da teoria pós-colonialista, discutem-se não somente questões estruturais do romance, mas em especial a formação da identidade do imigrante alemão, presente no imaginário da região como exemplo de força cultural e de trabalho superior aos não imigrantes. Dessa forma, este trabalho, além de articular uma discussão entre ficção e confissão, focaliza as relações entre retratos de época e resgates da história, ou seja, as fronteiras e limiares entre ficção e história.Abstract : The present research project is the analysis of one of the narrations that describes the German colonization at Vale do Itajai, in Santa Catarina, the novel "O guarda-roupa alemao", written by Lausimar Laus and published in 1975. Such research project considers and discusses about the German immigrant mystification issues and his culture identity. In this ase, the main purpose is analyzing the novel under Post-Colonial Theory view, involving not just the novel.s esthetical and structural issues, but also to search subsidies in the novel. It allows a reflexion about the German immigrant identity formation as a higher cultural and work strength myth if compared with the non immigrants. Thus the present research project focuses on the relationship among the portraits of that time, historical immigrants personal memories, historical traces, fiction and history borders and thresholds as well as to articulate a discussion between fiction and confession

Heart valve pathology in regularly slaughtered horses
No full textIn this study we examined macroscopic and microscopic lesions in the mitral valves of 50 regularly slaughtered horses in Italy. Macroscopically the results were minor. Microscopic lesions to the valve were found in both young and elderly subjects, confirming that there is no correlation between age and onset of lesions. We set out to evaluate whether the lesions correspond to valve disorder during the life of the animal.Gli Autori hanno condotto uno studio sulle lesioni, macroscopiche e microscopiche, rilevabili su valvola mitrale in 50 equini regolarmente macellati in Italia. A livello macroscopico i risultati sono stati poco rilevanti. A livello microscopico sono state riscontrate lesioni a carico della valvola sia in soggetti giovani che anziani, confermando una mancata correlazione tra età e presenza di lesioni. Sarebbe opportuno valutare se a tali lesioni corrispondono disfunzioni valvolari nell'animale in vita
Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves
No full textThis paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this crop, and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in a greater difficulty to comply with the practices required to benefit from both the single payment and agri-environmental schemes. In many high-steeped areas, farmers have opted for non-tillage practices as an alternative to other conservation practices. Using our own data from a survey carried out in 2006 among 215 olive tree farmers from the Granada Province in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices, we model the diffusion process of no tillage practices using several specifications (logistic, Gompertz and exponential). We also estimate an ordered probit model to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine the adoption of no tillage. Our results show that 90% of farmers in the area of study perform no tillage with either localized (21%) or no localized (69%) application of weedicides. The diffusion process of no tillage has been very intense since the middle nineties, and has been based on the interactions among farmers in the area of study rather than in external factors such as EU policies or extension services. Among other relevant factors that positively affect the adoption of no tillage practices in general, such as farm size and irrigation, the probability of a farmer adopting no tillage with non-localized application of weedicides increases when there is a relative that will continue with the farming activity, what causes the farmer to incorporate long term effects in his farming decisions, when the farmer is only a manager or when he bought the farm rather than inherited it (i.e. on more professionalized farms), and with his educational level. These results confirm some findings from previous studies in other nearby areas.Spanish olive groves, soil erosion, no tillage, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use,
Franco (Albert M.) interview, 1978
No full textRhodes, GreeceAlbert was born November 10, 1914 to immigrant parents Rosa Boullissa and Marco Franco of the Island of Rhodes.

Albert Franco tells of his family's life on the Isle of Rhodes; why they left; how they came to Seattle. He tells of his father, Marco Franco's, achievements in business and of his father's extensive participation in community affairs, in the Sephardic community and in the community in general. He tells of his own education, his career as a lawyer, his war service in the Army Intelligence, and of his work in the community. He experienced discrimination by his fellow Jews when no Sephardic student could join a Jewish fraternity or sorority. This interview gives illuminating insights concerning the history of an early day Sephardic family and how a child who grew up in that era reacted as shown in his community work as as adult. His account of his father, Marco Franco, as a liaison between the various segments in the community is interesting.

The political instrumentalization of professional football in Francoist Spain 1939-1975
No full textPhDThe objective of this thesis is to be the first systematic study of the
political instrumentalization of football in Francoist Spain from 1939
to 1975.
Seven separate and contrasting aspects of this political
instrumentalization may be isolated, and, accordingly, this thesis will
consist of a chapter examining each one of these seven aspects in turn.
After a first introductory chapter, Chapter Two will examine the
application of Fascist concepts to Spanish football. In the third
chapter, the questions of whether and to what extent football was used
by the Franco regime as a political soporific will be discussed. The
theme of Chapter Four is the lack of democracy within the structures of
the game, a situation that is alleged to have been deliberately imposed
by the regime in order to not create an uncomfortable comparison for
itself with the lack of national and local political democracy. The
poor working conditions of the footballers, which mirrored those of the
great majority of Spanish workers during the Franco period, are the
subject of Chapter Five. In the sixth Chapter, the political
significance of the presence in Francoist Spain of a group of refugee
players and coaches from Europe will be examined. The diplomatic
and ambassadorial significance of football, in particular of the
spectacular international triumphs of the Real Madrid club, will be
discussed in Chapter Seven. The political significance of football as a
focus for Basque and Catalan nationalist sentiment, in opposition to the
centralist Madrid regime, is the subject of Chapter Eight
