Análisis retórico y poético de los relatos del padre Brown de G.K. Chesterton
No full textTesis doctoral inédita leída en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Departamento de Lingüística, Lenguas Modernas, Lógica y Fª de la Ciencia y Tª de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada. Fecha de lectura: 20-11-2020El objetivo de la investigación es analizar los elementos retóricos y poéticos de los relatos que componen la colección policiaca del padre Brown de G.K. Chesterton. A través de la aplicación de la Teoría del Lector Modelo, de Umberto Eco y de la Teoría de los Mundos Posibles –en su versión de Tomás Albaladejo– se pretende descender al proceso creativo del autor en su concepción del entramado policial y estudiar el proceso comunicativo de Chesterton, su intencionalidad y objetivos, así como la recepción en sus lectores. La Teoría del Lector Modelo permite estimar el tipo de lector que concibió el autor y la Teoría de los Mundos Posibles esbozar las distintas perspectivas de los personajes ideados para que se produzca la sorpresa esperada en la resolución de un relato policiaco. Asimismo, se presta especial atención al narrador y la focalización. Para concluir establecemos las características policiacas propias del autor con lo que consideramos que es su aportación genuina al mundo del relato criminal, deteniéndonos de manera particular en el crimen, el detective y el proceso de investigaciónThe focus of this research is to analyse the retoric and poetic aspects of the tales which are part of the compilation of the detective Father Brown Stories, by G.K. Chesterton. In this academic work we implement the Umberto Eco's theory of textual cooperation –principally the Model Reader– and the Theory of Possible Worlds developed by Tomás Albaladejo. The investigation intends to deepen the commuticative process of G.K Chesterton. In addition, we attempt to study the creative process of the author, his intention and his aims. Particularly, to find his thoughts about the receipt of the detective novel in his readers. The Model Reader theory helps to guess the type of reader that the author conceived. The Theory of Possible Worlds lets consider the perspectives of the characters in order to get the expected surprise in resolving the mystery. We also pay special attention to the storyteller and the focalisation. To conclude, we determine the own characteristics of G.K. Chesterton with his genuine contribution to the detective novel world, especially about the crime, the detetive and the investigation proces
Clinical effects and treatment of envenoming by Hoplocephalus spp. snakes in Australia: Australian Snakebite Project (ASP-12)
No full textThere is limited information on envenoming by snakes of the genus Hoplocephalus from Eastern Australia. We investigated the clinical and laboratory features of patients with definite Hoplocephalus spp. bites including antivenom treatment, recruited to the Australian Snakebite Project. There were 15 definite Hoplocephalus spp. bites based on expert identification including eight by Hoplocephalus stephensi (Stephen's banded snakes), four by Hoplocephalus bungaroides (broad-headed snake) and three by H. bitorquatus (pale-headed snake). Envenoming occurred in 13 patients and was similar for the three species with venom induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) in all envenomings. Seven patients had an INR >12 and partial VICC, with only incomplete fibrinogen consumption, occurred in three patients. Systemic symptoms occurred in eight patients. Myotoxicity and neurotoxicity did not occur. H. stephensi venom was detected in all three H. stephensi envenomings (1.1, 44 and 81 ng/mL) for whom pre-antivenom blood samples were available, and not detected in one without envenoming. In two cases with post-antivenom blood samples, venom was not detected after tiger snake antivenom (TSAV) was given. In vitro binding studies demonstrated that TSAV concentrations of 50mU/mL are sufficient to bind the majority of free H. stephensi venom components at concentrations above those detected in envenomed patients (100 ng/mL). Eleven patients received antivenom, median dose 2 vials (Range: 1 to 5 vials), which was TSAV in all but one case, where polyvalent antivenom was used. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions occurred in six cases including one case of anaphylaxis. Envenoming by Hoplocephalus spp. causes VICC and systemic symptoms, making it clinically similar to brown snake (Pseudonaja spp.) envenoming. Based on in vitro studies reported here, patients may be treated with one vial of TSAV, although one vial of brown snake antivenom may also be sufficient.G.K. Isbister, J. White, B.J.

Trzy oblicza własności. O roli własności prywatnej w systemie społeczno-ekonomicznym na podstawie twórczości H. Belloca oraz G.K. Chestertona
No full textThe institution of property is undeniably one of the most important elements of every social and economic system. It affects every human being, playing a vital role in everyday life of the whole human race. Nevertheless, its origin and true meaning is not always treated with due attention, which sometimes leads to practical errors and improper application of this essential idea in human societies. The article concerns the true importance of private property, based on works by two British writers of the early 20th century, H. Belloc and G.K. Chesterton. The author describes the economic freedom attached to private property and shows it as a condition necessary for maintaining basic human dignity. Then he presents two of the most common errors concerning perception and application of property – the limitation of its positive effects in capitalism and the futile attempt of its abolition in socialism.Instytucja własności stanowi jeden z najistotniejszych składników każdego systemu społecznego i ekonomicznego, ponieważ oddziałuje bezpośrednio na życie każdego człowieka, będąc praktycznym elementem zwykłej codzienności. Nie zawsze jednak poświęca się jej genezie należytą uwagę, a w toku dziejów nie brakowało rozmaitych błędnych poglądów przeinaczających właściwe znaczenie owego podstawowego urządzenia społecznego. W niniejszym artykule została podjęta próba zaprezentowania elementarnej wartości własności prywatnej w oparciu o twórczość dwóch brytyjskich pisarzy początku XX w. – H. Belloca i G.K. Chestertona. Autor zwraca uwagę na wynikającą z posiadania wolność ekonomiczną oraz ukazuje własność prywatną jako warunek konieczny szeroko pojętej godności człowieka. Następnie opisuje podstawowe błędy, jakie pojawiły się w historii ludzkości w związku z niewłaściwym postrzeganiem i używaniem opisywanej instytucji: ograniczenie oddziaływania własności w warunkach ustroju kapitalistycznego oraz próby zniesienia własności prywatnej w socjalizmie
Aesop's Fables
No full textHere is a copy of the 1969 An old Library of Congress book that was never taken out once and so is in excellent condition. Vastly superior in its illustrations to the Avenel facsimile (1975?). This is not a facsimile, for it omits the illustration of the blackamoor being scrubbed to death! Otherwise it fully represents the 1912 original except for its sturdy simple covers and binding. I will keep the dust-jacketed extra in the collection. How can a book be an edition of 1967 and have a first-publication date of 1968?This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)V.S. Vernon Jone

Scorpian stings in Australia: five definite stings and a review
No full textDespite scorpions being locally abundant in many parts of Australia, scorpion sting is a poorly defined clinical condition in Australia. Many health-care workers are unaware of the effects of their stings and scorpions are often feared based on their international reputation. Five scorpion stings that occurred in different parts of Australia where the scorpion was caught at the time of the sting and identified by a professional arachnologist are reported in the present paper. The spectrum of clinical effects of scorpion stings in Australia and the potential for significant effects are discussed. These cases and recent prospective case series demonstrate that in Australia scorpion stings cause only minor effects. The main effect is localized pain lasting for several hours, associated less commonly with systemic effects, local numbness and paraesthesia. Most stings are from smaller scorpions from the family Buthidae and often occur indoors at night. The stings from Australian buthid scorpions cause more severe effects than from the larger species in the families Urodacidae (genus Urodacus) and Liochelidae (genus Liocheles)
