The Case for Nonhuman Rights
No full textMost of the world is nonhuman and everything we do affects them, and there are thousands of times more of them than there are of us. If we have rights and we’re in the minority, shouldn’t animals as well? On the next episode of Why?, we’ll dive into the world of animal ethics, exploring the legal, political, and moral implications of acknowledging that animals suffer.

No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar os elementos paratextuais presentes em doze antologias, dos séculos XX e XXI, traduzidas no Brasil, de Guy de Maupassant, autor francês do século XIX, pretendendo revelar como o autor e sua obra são apresentados ao leitor brasileiro, através dos paratextos. Foram analisadas somente as antologias traduzidas com contos do autor francês, não considerando as publicações mistas. O principal referencial teórico abordado foi fundamentado nas reflexões de Gérard Genette (2009) e Marie-Hèléne C. Torres (2011).Abstract: The main objective of this work is to examine the paratextual elements in twelve anthologies of the French author Guy de Maupassant's short stories, translated and published in the 20th and 21st centuries in Brazil, in order to disclose how the writer and his oeuvre are presented to the Brazilian reader, through the use of paratexts. I analysed only the translated anthologies with short stories from the author himself; anthologies that had other authors as well were not considered. The main theoretical framework was based on the reflections of Gérard Genette (2009) and Marie-Hèléne C. Torres (2011)
"Sebo bueno, indio muerto": la estructura de una creencia andina
No full text"Sebo bueno, indio muerto": the structure of an andean belief.
The author analyses the pishtaco belief by way of his structural position in the Andean culture and its history. The characteristics of the mythical figure of the Andean fat collector are such that it cannot be considered as a deity. His indigenous meaning derives, first and foremost, from the symbolic function of fat in prehispanic and contemporary Andean cultures while his significance in colonial history is tied both to the practical properties of human fat in seventeenth-century European medicine, and to ethnographic data from Spain. Finally, his sacrificial value illuminates the articulation of these two meanings, reveling the structure of the belief."Sebo bueno, indio muerto" : la structure d'une croyance andine.
L'auteur analyse le sens de la croyance du pishtaco à travers sa place structurelle dans la culture andine et son histoire. Par ses caractéristiques la figure mythique du preneur de graisse andin ne peut correspondre à une divinité. La fonction symbolique de la graisse dans les cultures andines préhispanique et actuelle lui donne un premier sens indigène. Les vertus pratiques de la graisse humaine dans la médecine européenne du XVIIè siècle, ainsi que les données d'ethnographie espagnole, lui donnent sa signification dans l'histoire coloniale. Enfin sa dimension sacrificielle éclaire l'articulation de ces deux sens en montrant la structure de la croyance.La autora analiza el sentido de la creencia en el pishtaco a través de su posición estructural en la cultura andina y su historia. Por sus características la figura mítica del degollador andino no puede corresponder a una divinidad. La función simbólica de la grasa en las culturas prehispánica y actual le da un primer sentido indígena. Las propiedades prácticas de la grasa humana en la medicina europea del siglo XVII, así como los datos de etnografía española, le dan su significado en la historia colonial. Finalmente su dimensión de sacrificio revela la articulación de estos dos sentidos, mostrando a la vez la estructura de la creencia.Fioravanti-Molinié Antoinette.

Optimum Currency Areas theory and the Slovak suitability for the euro adoption
No full textThis paper tests the present readiness of Slovakia to join the European Monetary Union (EMU) based on the classical Optimum Currency Area criteria, the degree of trade intensity and business cycle synchronization. The results do not fully confirm the hypothesis that Slovakia already constitutes an optimum monetary union with the rest of the EMU countries mainly the labour mobility is largely ineffective as adjustment mechanism. But, Slovakia is a open economy, its degree of trade integration is the highest among the Central and Eastern European countries and its economic and production structures are quite similar to the intra-EMU average. Moreover, Slovakia's business cycle appears at least as highly synchronized with the EMU''s one as some present, small and peripheral EMU member countries. This would indicate that this country is equally a suitable candidate for the EMU membership and that the Euro adoption should not increase the likelihood of asymmetric shocks.
Biology In-service Training in Swaziland:an Evaluation of the Approach of IMSTIP
No full textIn Swaziland, a small kingdom in Southern Africa, an in-service programme for science and mathematics teachers is running, which has its roots hack in 1978. It is an interuniversity cooperation programme between the University of Swaziland and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Aim of this programme is to improve the science and mathematics teaching at High Schools in Swaziland. By organizing workshops and designing teaching guides amongst other activities, one tries to teach the teachers to use a more practical and pupil centred way of teaching.In 1992 the project IMSTIP (In-service Mathematics and Science Teaching Improvement Programme) ended and was continued under the name SMART (Science and Mathematics Advice and Regional Training project). In order to establish the baseline for this new pioject an evaluation was held of the approach of the previous project.Because this approach was still used in 1993 and 1994. the evaluation was focused on these two years. The evaluation was held within the biology department. The aim of the research was:To describe the starting point of SMART based on evaluation of the in-service approach of IMSTIP of the last two years as regards the effectiveness and quality of the in-serviceapproach for biology
A NARRATIVA TRADICIONAL COMO RUÍNA NO CONTO BOLA DE SEBO, DE GUY DE MAUPASSANT
No full textFrom the short story Boule de Suif, written by Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), we intend to present the way the author works with two narrative levels, namely: the first level, in which he narrates a story in the context of the Franco-Prussian War in the 19th century, and the second level, in which the author takes us back to the novelized poem of oral tradition, entitled Il était un petit navire. Such narrative, which is mentioned only in one sentence, is configured as a kind of ruin or fragment that supports the surface or first-level structured narrative. As a method of analysis, considering that we have two narrative structures, we opted for the comparative method between the narrative structures. Thus, we concluded that Ricardo Piglia’s thesis is confirmed in that every tale always tells two stories, as well as recognizes the importance of the ruin or fragment as a noble material for literary creation, as noted by Walter Benjamin on its importance in the baroque creation.A partir do conto Bola de Sebo, escrito por Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), pretendemos apresentar o modo como o autor trabalha com dois planos narrativos, a saber: o primeiro plano, em que narra uma história no contexto da guerra Franco-Prussiana, século XIX, e o segundo plano em que o autor nos remete ao poema romanceado da tradição oral, intitulado Il était un petit navire. Essa narrativa, que é apenas mencionada numa frase, configura-se como uma espécie de ruína ou fragmento que sustenta a estruturada narrativa de primeiro plano ou superfície. Considerando que temos duas estruturas narrativas, optamos pelo método comparativo entre as estruturas narrativas como método de análise e assim chegamos à conclusão de que a tese de Ricardo Piglia se confirma naquilo que concerne a todo conto sempre contar duas histórias, bem como reconhecemos a importância da ruína ou fragmento como matéria nobre para criação literária, conforme observou Walter Benjamin sobre sua importância na criação barroca

Splenectomie
No full textDe functie van de milt is niet nauwkeurig bekend. Vroeger werd algemeen aangenomen, dat de milt een bloedreservoir zou zijn. Tegenwoordig vermoedt men, dat via verschillende stoffen (arterenol) de milt invloed uitoefent op het circulerend bloedvolumen. Ook bij de afweer tegen infecties speelt de milt een rol. Het bestaan van milthormonen kan niet meer ontkend worden. Belangrijk is de functie van de milt in verband met de samenstelling van het bloed. Onder pathologische omstandigheden kunnen een of meerdere soorten cellen in verminderd aantal aanwezig zijn (hypersplenie). Microscopisch is de diagnose hypersplenie niet te stellen. ...
