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.

Maupassant contista traduzido em analogias brasileiras: paratextos
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.

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

Author gender and citation categorization: a study of high-impact medical journals
No full textThe number of citations is one of the main bibliometric indicators. However, not all citations can be considered equivalent; scite (https://scite.ai/), a new tool based on artificial intelligence, was developed to determine whether citations are positive, negative or neutral. We assessed whether publications first/last authored by women were more often cited positively (or negatively) than those first/last authored by men. Using the 2021 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) impact factor, we selected the ten highest impact journals in nine medical disciplines. Using Web of Science, we extracted all research and review articles published between January 2012 and December 2021 in these journals. We used Namsor to determine first/last authors’ gender and scite to categorize article citations as positive (“supporting”), negative (“contradicting”), neutral (“mentioning”) and “unclassified”. There were 141,921 articles in the database, of which 116,204 had unabbreviated first/last names. We found that the proportion of positive and negative citations was higher for publications whose first/last authors were women (vs. men), while the opposite was true for neutral citations. This is the first study to our knowledge to document the association between gender and citation type. Further research is needed in the future to investigate the reasons for these gender differences, and to assess whether the type of citation is also associated with the gender of the citing author
General internal medicine and family medicine journals
No full textLike research in general internal medicine, family medicine research can play an important role in improving medical knowledge. We aimed to compare articles published in family medicine journals with articles published in general internal medicine journals. In this bibliometric study, we retrieved 658 randomly selected quantitative articles published in 2016 in 18 high impact factor journals of family medicine and general internal medicine. We extracted the following data: author (gender, number of publications, and place of residence of the first author), paper (number of participants, study design) and journal characteristics (journal discipline, 2015 impact factor). We compared the two groups of articles, using multivariate logistic regressions adjusted for impact factor and intra-cluster correlations. The first author of the articles published in family medicine journals, compared to general internal medicine journals, was more often a woman (OR 2.8 [95%CI 1.8–4.4], P-value<.001), living in the Western world (OR 14.4 [95%CI 6.0–34.4], P-value<.001), and a less experienced researcher (<5 vs >15 publications: OR 2.4 [95%CI 1.5–4.0], P-value .01). In addition, these studies generally included more participants (>1000 vs <100: OR 3.5 [95%CI 1.4–8.6], P-value .02). There was no statistically significant difference in the study design between the two groups of articles (P-value .25). Despite some differences between the two groups of articles, studies published in family medicine journals do not appear to be any less ambitious in terms of study design and sample size than those published in general internal medicine journals
