    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2007The aim of the present study is to analyse how issues of Albanian national identity are portrayed in Ismail Kadaré's novel Broken April (Prilli i Thyer), and how such features have been appropriated and translated onto the screen into a Northeastern Brazilian context. I depart from the premise that, even though Brazilian elements are indeed shown in the film, the non existence of the Kanun in Brazil, and the use of narrative techniques different from the ones employed in the novel render the story of the blood feuds in the film more universal than the genuinely Albanian reality depicted in the novel. In sum, the appropriation transcends the Albanian reality into a universal context, showing, at the same time, elements which are typical of the Brazilian culture.O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar como questões sobre a identidade nacional Albanesa são retratadas no romance Abril Despedaçado (Prilli i Thyer), de Ismail Kadaré, e como tais questões foram apropriadas e traduzidas para a tela num contexto Nordestino-Brasileiro. O estudo parte do princípio que, embora elementos tipicamente Brasileiros sejam mostrados no filme, a não existência do Kanun no Brasil, e o uso de técnicas narrativas diferentes das empregadas no romance ajudam a deixar a história das brigas de família no filme com um aspecto mais universal do que a realidade genuinamente Albanesa representada na romance. Em suma, a apropriação transcende a realidade Albanesa para um contexto mais universal, sem deixar de mostrar também elementos típicos da cultura Brasileira

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    The root parts of red skin colored radish cultivars cv. Antep and cv. Cherry Belle which are belongs to Raphanus sativus L. were harvested from Erzurum region of Turkey and their methanol extracts were evaluated for antibacterial activity against 52 food borne bacteria by using disc diffusion assay. Extracts had a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against food borne bacteria in broth micro dilution bioassays. Maximum antibacterial activity was observed against Arthrobacter ilicis, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, Enterobacter hormaechei, Kocuria rosea, Neisseria subflava, Pantoea agglomerans, Proteus vulgaris, Psychrobacter immobilis and Shigella dysenteriae. However, cv. Antep showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus sphaericus and Corynebacterium flavescens and cv. Cherry Belle showed antibacterial activity against Arthrobacter atrocyaneus as well as. These inhibitory effects are interesting in relation to the prevention of microbial contamination in many foods

    High-rate UWB and 60 GHz communications

    No full text
    In this chapter, two technologies for high data-rate communications systems for wireless personal area networks (WPANs) are discussed. Namely, the ultrawideband (UWB) technology that operates in the 3.1-10.6 GHz band and the millimeter wave (MMW) technology (also called 60 GHz radio) that can use the 57-64 GHz band in most parts of the world are considered. First, a generic overview is given and various application scenarios are discussed. Then, the ECMA standard for high-rate UWB systems is studied. Finally, two standards for the 60 GHz MMW radio are investigated.Overview and application scenarios In order to realize high-speed communications systems with low power consumption, signals with very large bandwidths need to be employed. One way of designing such communications systems is to use UWB signals as an underlay technology by utilizing all or part of the frequency spectrum between 3.1 and 10.6 GHz [1-3]. According to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a UWB signal is defined as having an absolute bandwidth of at least 500 MHz or a relative (fractional) bandwidth of larger than 20% [3-4].In order not to cause any adverse effects on other wireless systems in the same frequency band, such as IEEE 802.11a wireless local area networks (WLANs), certain power emission limits are imposed on UWB devices by regulatory authorities, such as the FCC in the USA [3] and the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) in Europe [5]. © Cambridge University Press 2011

    The present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activities of methanol extracts of white and black coloured peel taproots of two radish types belonging to Raphanus sativus L. The antibacterial activities of the extracts were tested against 100 laboratory strains belonging to 52 bacteria species by using disc diffusion assay. The results showed that methanol extract in taproots of both black and white radishes had antibacterial activity against Arthrobacter atrocyaneus, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, Enterobacter hormaechei, Kocuria rosea, Neisseria subflava, Pantoea agglomerans, Proteus vulgaris, Psychrobacter immobilis and Shigella dysenteriae. White radish type showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus sphaericus and Corynebacterium flavescens as well. Based on results, it is possible to conclude that white radish has a stronger and broader spectrum of antibacterial activity as compared to black radish

    Ismail Fethi'nin Ruh ve Ahlâk'la ilgili Görüsleri isimli bu çalısmada, daha önce hakkında herhangi bir çalısmanın yapılmadıgını tespit ettigimiz Ismail Fethi'nin ruh ve ahlâkla ilgili görüsleri ele alınarak, müellifin bu görüsleri felsefe açısından degerlendirilmeye çalısılmıstır. Müellifin ruh görüsü zihin felsefesi, ahlâk görüsü ise ahlâk felsefesi çerçevesinde ele alınmıstır. Ruh ile ilgili görüslerinde Ismail Fethi, dualist bakıs açısına sahip oldugundan, onun bu noktadaki görüsleri önde gelen dualist filozoflarla karsılastırmalı olarak ele alınmıstır. Dualistik ruh anlayısının problemlerine deginilerek Ismail Fethi'nin ruh görüsünün problemleri belirlenmistir. Ayrıca ahlâk görüsünde tasavvufî bakıs açısına sahip oldugunu tespit ettigimiz müellifin ahlâk görüsü önce Osmanlı ahlâk düsüncesi içinde sonra da tasavvufî ahlâk içindeki yeri tespit edilmeye çalısılmıstır. Bu yöntemle ele aldıgımız görüslerinde müellifin bilhassa ruh konusunda kendinden önceki düsünürlerden etkilenmis oldugunu, günümüzdeki bilimsel ve felsefî verilerle yer yer ters düstügünü söyleyebiliriz. Ahlâk görüsünde ise belirli bir sistem ortaya koymaktan ziyade bireysel ahlâk konularına deginerek ruh- beden ayrımını öngören ruh görüsüne paralel, ruhun tezkiyesi konusu dısına pek çıkmamıstır. Bu itibarla çalısmamızın niteligi Ismail Fethi nezdinde yeni ve orjinal fikirler ortaya çıkarmaktan çok, bilinmeyen bir düsünürün fikirlerinin degerlendirilmesi ve düsünce dünyamıza kazandırılması olarak özetlenebilir.In this study, namely \"Ismail Fethi\'s Views on Spirit and Morality\", Ismail Fethi\'s views regarding spirit and morality, which we determined that have not been studied before, are discussed and those views of the author are attempted to be evaluated from the point of philosophy. The authors\' view of spirit is examined in the frame of mind philosophy, while his view of morality is examined in the frame of moral philosophy. Since, in his views about spirit Ismail Fethi adopts dualistic approach, his views on that subject are compared with the primary dualistic philosophers\'. The problems of dualistic spirit concept are mentioned and the problems of Ismail Fethi\'s view of spirit are pointed out. Moreover, as we identified that regarding his view of morality the author adopts sufi perspective, the position of his moral view in the Ottoman moral thought and in the sufi morality is tried to be determined. We can say that in his views, which we examined with the method depicted above, regarding his view of spirit, in particular, the author is affected from the scholars before him. We can also say that in some aspects these views contradict with the contemporary scientific and philosophic findings. About his view of morality, it can be said that rather than composing a certain system, he mentioned more on the individual morality matters. In parallel with the view of spirit which presumes spritbody distinction, he barely went beyond the matter of purification of the soul. Thus, rather than revealing Ismail Fethi\'s new and original thoughts, the character of our study can be summarized as an evaluation of the thoughts of an unknown scholar and bringing his contribution in our contemporary thought
