Defesa : Curitiba, 26/02/2025Inclui referênciasResumo: A Literatura Proletária Japonesa continua desconhecida e pouco traduzida no Brasil. Esse movimento literário se desenvolveu em território nipônico nas décadas de 1920 e 1930. Sunao Tokunaga (1899-1958) é considerado um dos principais escritores proletários do Japão. Ele escreveu obras ficcionais e teórico críticas, além de ter exercido papel central na fundação de sindicatos e organizações literárias. Taiyo no nai machi, seu romance de estreia, é a única obra do autor traduzida para o português do Brasil. A narrativa coloca no centro do debate as condições de vida da classe trabalhadora e a desigualdade social de um país em processo de transição de um modelo econômico predominantemente agrário para o capitalismo industrial. Partindo de uma compreensão de tradução como atividade de ordem crítica, este trabalho esboça um projeto de tradução desse romance de Tokunaga e traduz, para o português brasileiro, uma pequena seleção de trechos considerados exemplares de questões significativas que a tradução da obra suscitaAbstract: The Japanese Proletarian Literature remains unknown and little translated in Brazil. This literary movement has been developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s. Sunao Tokunaga (1899-1958) is considered one of the most notable Japanese proletarian writers. He wrote fictional and theoretical-critical works, as well as played a central role in the foundation of labor unions and literary organizations. Taiyo no nai machi, his debut novel, is the only work by the author to have been translated into Brazilian Portuguese. The narrative puts at the center of the debate the living conditions of the working class and the social inequality of a country in the transition from a predominantly agrarian economic model to industrial capitalism. Based on an understanding of translation as a critical activity, this dissertation outlines a translation project for Tokunaga's novel and translates into Brazilian Portuguese a small selection of passages considered to be exemplary of the significant issues raised by the translation of the wor

One is NH isomer in which water binds to the NH group and the other is CN isomer in which water binds to the CN group. We applied IR dip spectroscopy to investigate how the interaction changes in the D state. The IR spectra showed the same feature that was assigned to the NH isomer though the two isomers were selectively ionized. This observation means water molecule bonded to the CN group migrates to the NH group induced by the photoionization
Implication of Government Health Expenditure for Human Capital Development in Nigeria
No full textThe relationship between government health expenditure and human capital development has been widely discussed. It is a known fact that the more the health sector is funded, the more healthy people would be and this would enable them to invest in themselves and increase human capital. However, the health sector’s funding in Nigeria is low and has not helped to improve the development of human capital. It is for this reason that this study examined the impact of government health expenditure on human capital development spanning 1999 to 2023. The data for the annual time series were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin 2023, and World Development Indicator 2023. The study adopted the vector error correction model (VECM) as an appropriate method of analysis. The results however found that government health expenditure and out-of-pocket expenditure have positive and significant impact on human capital development. Similarly, physician per capita and inflation rate are insignificant and negative with human capital development, meaning these two variables cause decline in human capital development during the period covered in the study. The results of the analysis made this study to recommend that there is the need for the government to increase health sector’s funding to aid the building of state-of-the-art health facilities that would help the development of human capital in Nigeria
FISCAL POLICY AND INDUSTRIAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
No full textThis study looks at how fiscal policies affected Nigeria's industrial sector growth between 1986 and 2021. To estimate the model's parameters, Autoregressive Distributed Lag was adopted. However, the results suggest that corporate income tax has a negative long-term influence on Nigeria's output of solid minerals, whereas government capital expenditures on the mining and quarrying sector and exchange rate have a positive effect. The results also show that in short run, company income tax and exchange rate are negative while government capital expenditure on mining and quarrying sector is positive. The study therefore, recommends that government should reduce the rate of company income tax for this sector because company income tax is inimical to the growth of solid minerals sector output. Government should also allocate more budget for capital expenditure in the mining and quarrying sector and also ensure that the funds are efficiently utilized to provide the necessary infrastructure neede
OBSERVATION OF THE PURE ROTATIONAL SPECTRA OF THE HO--HOCO COMPLEX
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Basic Science, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, 153-8902, Japan; Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Gunma University, 4-2 Aramaki-machi, Maebashi City, Gunma, 371-8510 JapanRotational spectra of the HO-\textit{trans}-HOCO complex have been observed using a Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectrometer. The complex was produced in a supersonic jet by discharging a gas mixture of CO and HO diluted in Ar. The observed lines show that the ground state of the complex is split into two by the exchange symmetry of the two equivalent protons of HO. The molecular constants including the hyperfine coupling constants have been precisely determined for the two states. The Fermi contact constants of the two states are smaller than that of the \textit{trans}-HOCO monomer. This result indicates that there is an induced effect for the spin density on the hydrogen nucleus of HOCO by the complex formation
Inserción del arte de la palabra y cosmovisión de los pueblos originarios en la literatura infantil chilena: El legado mapuche
No full textThis work is an approach to Chilean children's literature as an access to the social imaginary of the original peoples, focusing the attention in literary artistic expressions and Mapuche world. We present a brief view of Mapuche stories and the author literature that addresses the indigenous issue in literature from the 20th and 21st centuries. With the purpose to know if the works transmit the former spirituality, it is analyzed one of the most recognized and symbolic figures in the Mapuche social imaginary and that is presented mainly in the stories: The machi, spiritual leader and shaman, shamana. It is unveiled how the forms of representation differ or resemble the ancestral knowledge and the sources on which they were based.Este trabajo es un acercamiento a la literatura infantil chilena como acceso al imaginario social de los pueblos originarios, centrando la atención en las expresiones artísticas literarias y cosmovisión mapuche. Se presenta un breve recorrido de adaptaciones de relatos mapuche y de literatura de autor que abordan el tema indígena en publicaciones de los siglos XX y XXI. Con el fin de conocer si las obras transmiten la espiritualidad primigenia, se analiza una de las figuras más reconocidas y de mayor simbolismo en el imaginario social mapuche y que se hace presente mayoritariamente en los relatos: El/la machi , líder espiritual y chamán, chamana. Se devela cómo las formas de representación difieren o se asemejan al conocimiento ancestral y a las fuentes en las cuales se basaron
Detective fiction in Cuban society and culture.
No full textPhDThe object of this thesis is to reach towards an understanding of Cuban society through a
study of its detective fiction and more particularly contemporary Cuban society through
the novels of the author and critic, Leonardo Padura Fuentes.
The method has been to trace the development of Cuban detective writing and to
read Padura Fuentes in the light of the work of twentieth century Western European
literary critics and philosophers including Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, Terry
Eagleton, Roland Barthes, Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Jean François Lyotard and
Jean Baudrillard in order to gain a better understanding of the social and historical
context from which this genre emerged.
By concentrating on the literary texts, I have explored readings which lead out into
an analysis of the broader philosophical, political and historical issues raised by the
Cuban revolution. Since it deals primarily with modes of deviance and notions of legality
and justice within the context of the modern state, detective fiction is particularly well
suited to this type of investigation. The intention is to show how this is as valid in the
Cuban context as it is in advanced capitalist societies where such research has already
been carried out with some success.
The thesis comprises an introduction, ten chapters and a conclusion. The chapters
are divided into three sections. Chapters 1 to 3 attempt a broad theoretical, historical and
socio-political analysis of the cultural reality within which the Cuban revolutionary
detective genre emerged. Chapters 4 to 6 analyse the Cuban detective narrative from its
inception in the early part of the twentieth century until the emergence of Leonardo
Padura Fuentes as the foremost exponent of the genre in Cuba after 1991. Chapters 7-
10 concentrate upon the work of Leonardo Padura Fuentes, offering a reading of his
detective tetralogy informed by the preceding discussion.
The contribution made by the thesis to knowledge of the subject is to build upon the
work of Seymour Menton and Amelia S. Simpson on the development of the Cuban
detective novel and to provide analyses of the pre-Revolutionary Cuban detective
narrative and the work of Leonardo Padura Fuentes for the first time in the English
language. The thesis concludes that the study of this popular genre in Cuba is of crucial
importance to the scholar who wishes to reach as full an understanding of the social
dynamics within that society as possible. In particular, it proves that Cuban detective
fiction provides a useful barometer of social change which records the shifts in the Cuban
Zeitgeist that have taken place over the past century
Impact of Yeast Glycosylation Pathway on Cell Integrity and Morphology, Glycosylation, Stefana Petrescu (Ed.), ISBN: 978-953-51-0771-2, InTech, Available from: http://www.intechopen.com/books/glycosylation/impact-of-yeast-glycosylation-pathway-on-cell-integrity-and-morphology
No full textProtein glycosylation is a multi step reaction, well conserved in the eukaryotic cells. In N-glycosylation reactions dolichyl phosphate (DolP) serves as a lipid acceptor of sugar residues forming DolPPGlcNAc2Man9Glc3. Dolichyl phosphate mannose (DolPMan) is also a substrate for protein O-glycosylation, where it serves as a donor of the first mannose to be attached to hydroxyl groups of serine or treonine. DolPMan is also involved in the synthesis of the sugar part of glycosylphosphatidyl inositol anchor in yeast and other eukaryotes. Its remnant structure is responsible for the attachment of a large group of glycoproteins to the glucan polymers of the cell wall . Thus, a functional link could be predicted between the dolichol biosynthetic (mevalonate) pathway and subsequent N-glycosylation and O-mannosylation, cell wall assembly and/or fungus–host interaction. Moreover, on the basis of the data presented in this chapter, it can be assumed that the glycosylation pathway in yeast and fungi offers many levels of regulation, which might influence the final quality and quantity of cell wall glycoproteins and consequently cell surface immunogenicity.
In this work we concentrate on early glycosylation defects, resulting from the impaired synthesis of dolichol (Dol) and dolichyl phosphate (DolP) or DolPP oligosaccharide (DolPPGlcNAc2Man9Glc3) assembly, and their effect on the cell integrity and morphology
Imaginaciones autobiográficas. Voces, tiempos y espejos en dos autobiografías de mujeres
No full textThis text analyzes two feminine autobiographies under a new gender reading vision. These are La casa de los Conejos (The rabbit house) (Laura Alcoba) and Sueño con menguante, Biografía de una “machi” Dream on the wane. A “machi” Biography. (Sonia Montecinos). The article pretends answering the following questions: ¿Who tells the story: the one who lived passed events or the one who remembers them? ¿Where exactly does he speak from? ¿Under which conditions is the text generated, and what is expressed in this format and final content? ¿Which are the central biographical moments from which the passed imaginary relationship is reconstructed? ¿How is the narrative identity built, spread in split personality diversity between the writer, the narrator and the character presented? ¿What is the silence role in this identity construction? ¿Which is the “posteriori” meaning given to recreated experiences, which only have a meaning assumed by the author? ¿How is the autobiographical account filtered by subjectivity –the present one– and, fundamentally the imaginary relationship between the writer and his past?Este texto analiza dos autobiografías femeninas a luz de las nuevas lecturas del género. Ellas son La casa de los conejos (Laura Alcoba) y Sueño con menguante, Biografía de una “machi” (Sonia Montecinos). El artículo pretende responder a las siguientes interrogantes: ¿Quién narra: el que vivió los acontecimientos pasados o el que hoy recuerda? ¿Desde dónde se habla? ¿Cuáles son las condiciones en las cuales el texto es generado, y que se expresan en su formato y contenido final? ¿Cuáles son los momentos biográficos centrales a partir de los cuales se reconstruye la relación imaginaria con el pasado? ¿Cómo se construye la identidad narrativa, diseminada en una diversidad de desdoblamientos entre el autor, el narrador y el personaje que ahí aparece? ¿Cómo juega el silencio en la construcción de esta identidad? ¿Qué significado se le otorga “a posteriori” a las vivencias recreadas, mismas que no tienen sino el significado que quien escribe les atribuye? ¿Cómo está permeado el relato autobiográfico por la subjetividad –la del presente– y, fundamentalmente por la relación imaginaria del escritor con su pasado
Terayamago. Cinema e teatro di Terayama Shūji nel contesto intermediale degli anni Sessanta e Settanta
No full textGli anni sessanta e settanta vedono l’affermarsi in Giappone di un’arte intermediale che l’opera di Terayama Shūji incarna in maniera rappresentativa. Nella prima parte del presente lavoro sono state perciò delineate le caratteristiche principali della New Wave e dell’angura, collocandole all’interno del coevo contesto politico dei movimenti studenteschi e di quello culturale della Shinjuku bunka. Le connessioni intermediali emerse da questa operazione sono poi state rapportate all’analisi del lungometraggio Sho o suteyo machi e deyō di Terayama. All’interno della sua poliedrica carriera artistica ci si è concentrati sulla produzione teatrale e cinematografica per individuare quel “sistema intermediale”, qui definito Terayamago, che l’autore ha sviluppato facendo ricorso a teorie, tematiche e simbologie condivise in media differenti. Questi elementi travalicano infatti i confini del singolo medium per andare a formare un sistema autonomo che può rappresentare una nuova chiave di lettura per il cinema del periodo, esplicitandone le dinamiche intermediali in atto. Un esempio del funzionamento di tale sistema è costituito dal rapporto tra opera filmica e spettatore. Partendo dalle teorie sul teatro di Terayama è stata analizzata l’applicazione delle stesse al suo cinema, dove è riuscito, in un processo suddiviso in tre fasi, a rimodellare la concezione dello schermo e dello spazio di fruizione per arrivare a una originale forma di “cinema partecipato”.
This work considers Terayama Shūji as the figurehead of the intermedial art which developed in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. Therefore the first part of the work describes the major features of New Wave and angura, placing them in the political (i.e. student movement) and cultural (i.e. Shinjuku bunka) context in order to identify the relevant intermedial connections and apply them to the analysis of Sho o suteyo machi e deyō, a Terayama’s feature-length film. Starting from Terayama’s artistic career, focus has been made on his theatrical and cinematographic works in order to define a system - called Terayamago - developing from the author reworking of theories, themes and symbols through different media. Therefore, such system defies single medium boundaries and comes to represent intermedial dynamics typical of contemporary cinema. The relationship between film and spectators serves as a case study in this regard. Terayama applies his theories on theatre to cinema and shapes a new conception of the screen and of the movie theatre into three phases, gradually involving the audience
