Theology in suspense : how the detective fiction of P.D. James provokes theological thought
No full textElectronic redacted version excludes material for which permission has not been granted by the rights holderThe following dissertation argues that the detective fiction of P.D. James
provokes her readers to think theologically. I present evidence from the body of
James’s work, including her detective fiction that features the Detective Adam
Dalgliesh, as well as her other novels, autobiography, and non-fiction work. I also
present a brief history of detective fiction. This history provides the reader with a
better understanding of how P.D James is influenced by the detective genre as well as
how she stands apart from the genre’s traditions.
This dissertation relies on an interview that I conducted with P.D. James in
November, 2008. During the interview, I asked James how Christianity has
influenced her detective fiction and her responses greatly contribute to this
dissertation. However, James’s novels should be interpreted and explored in the
manner that they are received by the reader. How the reader receives and responds to
the novels, not only how James writes the novels, is what causes her stories to
provoke theological thinking.
By examining Christian symbolism that is present in setting, character, the
Detective Adam Dalgliesh, and plot, this dissertation seeks to assert that James
contributes to a theological conversation through her popular detective fiction

Tradução de dois contos de P.D. James : os desafios da tradução do policial na contemporaneidade
No full textO presente projeto pretende apresentar uma proposta de tradução de dois contos integrados na obra de P.D. James Sleep No More: Six Murderous Tales, publicada em 2017, e procura desenvolver uma reflexão acerca dos desafios da tradução de ficção policial nos dias de hoje. No seu início, este tipo de ficção foi desvalorizado, visto como literatura inferior. Porém, uma evolução positiva tem vindo a ocorrer nas últimas décadas, encaminhando o subgénero para uma posição cada vez mais respeitada. Assim, partindo da própria prática da tradução de ficção policial, o interesse pela análise deste fenómeno surgiu com a obra da autora britânica P.D. James, e com o recurso às abordagens e estratégias de tradução de diversos investigadores dos Estudos de Tradução. O projeto pretende dar ênfase ao contributo de P.D. James para uma visão crescentemente positiva do policial. A reflexão incide nos desafios emergentes desta nova visão, e analisam-se as dificuldades concretas que se levantaram à tradução, assim como as estratégias utilizadas e soluções encontradas. Considera-se que este projeto é pertinente para os Estudos de Tradução, na medida em que o policial é um dos subgéneros literários mais consumidos e, consequentemente, traduzidos no mundo. Por essa razão, é essencial que haja mais reflexão e investigação no campo da tradução acerca deste tipo de literatura, sendo que é pela tradução que estas obras literárias se disseminam, algo que traz uma grande responsabilidade ao tradutor.This project aims to present a proposal for the translation of two short stories by P.D. James from the work Sleep No More: Six Murderous Tales, published in 2017, and seeks to reflect on the challenges of translating crime fiction today. At its beginning, this type of fiction was devalued, seen as inferior literature. However, an interesting and positive evolution has been taking place in the last couple of decades, leading the genre to an increasingly respected position. An interest in analysing this phenomenon arose, starting from the actual practice of translating crime fiction, with the British author P.D. James, and using the approaches and translation strategies of various researchers in the field of Translation Studies. The project aims to emphasize P.D. James' contribution to the increasingly positive view of the crime fiction genre. It will reflect on the challenges emerging from this new vision, and analyse the difficulties that have arisen in translation, as well as the strategies used, and solutions found. I believe that this project is relevant to the field of Translation Studies, as crime fiction is one of the most widely consumed and, consequently, translated literary genres in the world. For this reason, it is essential that there is more reflection and research in the field of translation about this type of literature, since it is through translation that these literary works are disseminated, something that imposes a great responsibility on the translator
APPLICATION OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION TO HIGH PRESSURE X-RAY DIFFRACTION
No full textLa disponibilité de sources de radiation synchrotron à haute brillance est à l'origine de nombreux progrès dans les techniques de diffraction des rayons x. En plus des techniques de dispersion polychromatique d'énergie largement discutées, des progrès significatifs peuvent être accomplis grâce à l'utilisation de la radiation monochromatique lors d'un balayage angulaire ou de longueur d'onde. L'application de ces techniques développées à Daresbury, est esquissée pour des études à haute pression.The availability of dedicated, high brightness synchrotron radiation sources is leading to many improvements in x-ray diffraction techniques. In addition to the widely discussed polychromatic energy dispersive techniques, significant advances can be made by the use of monochromatic radiation in either angle- or wavelength-scanning. The application of these techniques, being developed at Daresbury, for high pressure investigations is outlined
PAST AND PRESENT LAND TENURE SYSTEMS IN ALBANIA: PATRILINEAL, PATRIARCHAL, FAMILY-CENTERED
No full textThis paper attempts to evaluate whether Albanian rural social structure has changed to the extent that individual rights and protection of those rights have become important policy questions. If the evaluation suggests that rural Albanians retain the set of family-oriented norms and beliefs that are based primarily on patriarchalism and patrilineal inheritance, we must address the following questions: How appropriate is the mixture of western law that emulates individualistic notions of property rights with the customary family-tenure system of rural Albania? What are the likely problems that could emerge during the transition given a potential conflict between family notions of ownership and individual notions of ownership? This paper discusses five broad issues: the contemporary importance of family ownership, the role of the patriarch, the contemporary inheritance procedures, the vulnerability of specific groups of women, and the structure of the Albanian family. Keywords: Land tenure -- Albania Right of property -- Albania Inheritance and succession -- Albania Albania -- Social conditionsLand tenure -- Albania, Right of property -- Albania, Inheritance and succession -- Albania, Albania -- Social conditions, Land Economics/Use,
Author Correction: Common variants in Alzheimer’s disease and risk stratification by polygenic risk scores (Nature Communications, (2021), 12, 1, (3417), 10.1038/s41467-021-22491-8)
No full textThe original version of this Article omitted from the author list the 212th author Patrizia Mecocci, who is from the Institute of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Department of Medicine, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy. Consequently, the “Sample Contribution” section of Author Contributions was updated to add “P.M” between “P.D.” and “R.C.”. Additionally, the original version of this Article contained the incorrect affiliation for author Patrick Gavin Kehoe, which incorrectly read “German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), Berlin, Germany”. The correct version replaces this affiliation with “Bristol Medical School (THS), University of Bristol, Southmead Hospital, Bristol, UK”.
