Viajantes ex-cêntricas nas histórias de Ana Miranda
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.No conjunto das narrativas ficcionais da escritora brasileira Ana Miranda, a temática da viagem # considerada uma das mais férteis da literatura ocidental de todos os tempos # ocupa um espaço de centralidade, podendo até mesmo ser vista como o mais importante eixo de estruturação de suas obras. O estudo realizado pela presente tese tem por objetivo analisar o tratamento dado ao tema da viagem nos romances Desmundo, O retrato do rei, Dias & Dias e Amrik, evidenciando que por intermédio das narradora-viajantes # Oribela, Mariana, Feliciana e Amina # a autora promove um diálogo entre diferentes culturas, gêneros, etnias e gerações, ao mesmo tempo em que estabelece um profícuo diálogo com o passado em sua invariante problematização concernente aos limites e cruzamentos entre o discurso ficcional e os discursos narrativos extraliterários que o cercam, sobretudo o histórico e o biográfico. In the whole of Brazilian writer Ana Miranda#s fictional narrative, the travel thematic # considered one of the most fertile themes of the western literature of all times # occupies a central space, and can even been seen as the most important structuring axis of Miranda#s works. The aim of the present thesis is to analyze the treatment given to the travel subject in the novels Desmundo, O retrato do rei, Dias & Dias and Amrik, emphasizing that, through the traveling narrators, Oribela, Mariana, Feliciana and Amina, the author promotes a connection between different cultures, genders, ethnics and generations, at the same time that establishes a profitable dialogue with the past in her invariant problematization concerning the limits and crossings between the fictional and the extra-literary narrative discourses that surrounds it, mainly the historical and the biographic ones

Error estimation by compatibility in patches for plate structures
No full textError estimation is a key tool in modern finite element technology in order to verify and validate the finite element simulations, as well as to improve results and control the error, when combined with adaptivity. An efficient and practical way to derive a posteriori error estimators is offered by recovery procedures. The error, generally in stress based norms, is estimated by comparing the original finite element solution with the recovered one. The major steps forward in using recovery procedures were taken with the Superconvergent Patch Recovery (SPR) developed by Zienkiewicz and Zhu [1] and the Recovery by Equilibrium in Patches (REP) developed by Boroomand and Zienkiewicz [2]. Both these procedures have been successfully applied to plate problems in [3]. Recently, a new superconvergent procedure called Recovery by Compatibility in
Patches (RCP) has been proposed by one of the authors [4] and shown to provide an excellent basis for error estimation in 2D problems [5].
Thin structures like plates and shells constitute an important class among finite element analyses because of their large application fields. With this in mind, the aim of the present paper is to develop an extension of the RCP-based error estimation to Reissner-Mindlin plates finite element analysis. The basic idea of this procedure is the same as the RCP in its original version, that is to recover stress resultants by enforcing compatibility over patches of elements.
Displacements computed by the finite element analysis are prescribed on the boundary of the patch, and improved stress resultants are computed by minimizing the complementary energy of
such a sub-model. The resulting procedure is simple, efficient, numerically stable and does not need any knowledge of superconvergent points. Some numerical examples involving thin and thick plates under different loading and support conditions are given.

Ancestral polymorphisms in Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila miranda
No full textAncestral polymorphisms are defined as variants that arose by mutation prior to the speciation event that generated the species in which they segregate. Their presence may complicate the interpretation of molecular data and lead to incorrect phylogenetic inferences. They may also be used to identify regions of the genome that are under balancing selection. It is thus important to take into account the contribution of ancestral polymorphisms to variability within species and divergence between species. Here, we extend and improve a method for estimation of the proportion of ancestral polymorphisms within a species, and apply it to a dataset of 33 X-linked and 34 autosomal protein-coding genes for which sequence polymorphism data are available in both Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila miranda, using Drosophila affinis as an outgroup. We show that a substantial proportion of both X-linked and autosomal synonymous variants in these two species are ancestral, and that a small number of additional genes with unusually high sequence diversity seem to have an excess of ancestral polymorphisms, suggestive of balancing selection

Miranda: ustavna pravica ali ne?
No full textAvtorica v prispevku analizira razvoj mirande v ZDA od leta 1966 do danes in primerja današnjo ameriško mirando s slovensko. V prispevku zagovarja stališče, da je bistvena razlika med njima v tem, da ima slovenski kazenski postopek dve mirandi, ameriški pa eno. Ameriška miranda se namreč uporablja, ko je osumljencu od vzeta prostost in je ob tem zaslišan, medtem ko se slovenska miranda uporablja, ko je osumljencu odvzeta prostost ali ko je zaslišan s strani policije, ob tem da je miranda ob odvzemu prostosti ustavna pravica, miranda ob zaslišanju pa ne vedno. Avtorica z analizo odločb Vrhovnega sodišča ZDA pri kaže, da se je ameriška miranda v zadnjih letih zelo približala kontinentalnemu kazenskemu postopku, predvsem v smislu spreminjanja mirande v luči iskanja materialne resnice. Vrhovno sodišče ZDA je namreč s svojimi odločitvami uvedlo številne izjeme od originalne Mirande, ki so v lanskem letu pripeljale do tega, da se lahko na sojenju zoper obdolženca uporabi fizični dokaz, ki je bil pridobljen s kršenjem mirande. Avtorica je mnenja, da je takšna miranda zelo podobna slovenski mirandi v pred kazenskem postopku, ki dopušča policijsko zaslišanje osumljenca brez prisotnosti zagovornika, na podlagi katerega policija sicer res napravi »le« uradni zaznamek, vendar pa lahko policija na podlagi takega uradnega zaznamka zakonito zbira dokaze, hkrati pa se s takim za znamkom lahko seznani tudi sodnik, ki odloča o glavni stvari. Avtorica v razpravi opozori na pomembno dejstvo, da se slovenska in ameriška ureditev v svojih ustavnih določbah bistveno razlikujeta. Ustava ZDA namreč nima izrecnih določb o pravici do molka ali pravici do zagovornika ob odvzemu prostosti in policijskem zaslišanju, za to je miranda le eden iz med načinov varovanja privilegija zoper samoobtožbo. Miranda tako ni ustavno zavarovana pravica, njeno kršenje pa samo po sebi še ne predstavlja upravičenega razloga za izločitev tako pridobljenih dokazov. Ustava RS ima na drugi strani izrecno določbo o pravici do molka in pravici do zagovornika ob odvzemu prostosti, zato slovenska miranda ob odvzemu prostosti ni le način varovanja privilegija zoper samoobtožbo, tem več ustavna pravica. Prav zato ureditev policijske ga zaslišanja v pred kazenskem postopku v primerih, ko je to povezano z odvzemom prostosti in ko osumljencu obenem ni zagotovljena pomoč zagovornika, ni skladna z Ustavo RS. V takih primerih se na podlagi uradnega zaznamka ne bi smelo pridobivati drugih dokazov oziroma bi morali biti ta ki dokazi izločeni, prav tako pa bi moral bi ti izločen uradni za znamek, saj gre za neposredno kršitev ustavne določbe o pravici do zagovornika.The author analyzes and discusses the development of the American Miranda from 1966 until today and compares it with the Slovene miranda. She argues that the main difference between them is in the conditions under which Miranda applies and in the constitutional protection each of them is afforded. The American miranda applies when a suspect is taken into custody and she is interrogated, while the Slovene miranda applies if a suspect is either taken into custody or she is interrogated by the police. In the former case miranda is protected by the Slovene Constitution, but not in the latter. Through the analysis of the jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court the author demonstrates that the American regulation of miranda has become very close to what is considered to be the continental approach to the criminal procedure in the last few years, since the US Supreme Court, in the name of finding the material truth at trials has recognized numerous exceptions to miranda. The latest exception to miranda allows for the state at a trial to introduce the physical evidence derived from a statement of the defendant who had not been given the Miranda warnings. The author argues that the American miranda with the applicable exceptions is very similar to the miranda of the Slovene Criminal Procedure Act that allows for the police interrogation without the presence of an attorney, which is evidenced “only” by the official note, which is not regarded as a formal evidence, but on the basis of which the police may lawfully seek other evidence and which the trial judge is free to review. The author emphasizes the difference between the Slovene and the American constitutional provisions related to miranda, especially in the view of the nature of the protection that each provides for the miranda rights. Since the American Constitution has no explicit provisions regarding the right to remain silent and the right to the assistance of an attorney, miranda is only one of the ways to safeguard the privilege against self-incrimination. Therefore, miranda itself is not a constitutional right and a violation of miranda without more does not justify the exclusion of an evidence obtained in the violation of miranda. The Slovene Constitution, on the other hand, has explicit provisions concerning the right to remain silent and the right to the assistance of an attorney in cases where the freedom to move is restricted in a significant way, therefore the Slovenian miranda in cases where the suspect is taken into custody is not only a way of safeguarding the privilege against self-incrimination, but a constitutionally protected right. The author argues that precisely for this reason, the regulation of the police interrogation in cases where a suspect is taken into custody and is not afforded the assistance of an attorney is not in accordance with the provisions of the Slovene Constitution. In cases like that the evidence derived from such official note should be excluded as well as the official note itself, since it was obtained in a way that directly violates the constitutional provisions with respect to the right to the assistance of an attorney
HOW TO IMPROVE VISUAL-SPATIAL SKILLS THROUGH A DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM-Proceedings
No full textStarting from kindergarten, the child is called to experience a variety of elements drawn from his learning environment, so as to facilitate his transition to primary school (MIUR, 1991; MIUR, 2012; MIUR, 2018). The international literature (Kaldenberg et al., 2015; NAEYC 2009) argues that, at the base of literacy or mathematical skills, it is necessary to refine specific precursors for subsequent learning, such as visual and auditory discrimination, phonological awareness, manual eye coordination, visual-verbal association and phonological memory. In researching empirical evidence of the link between visual-spatial intelligence and the preschool period, a body of knowledge emerges regarding the criteria and the conditions for promoting cognitive enhancement paths through the use of interactive games. This paper aims to present the design approach of the VIEP-app software model (Calvani, Zanaboni, 2018), a user-friendly application for computers, tablets and smartphones, intended for preschool children to increase their visual-spatial skills to be used both in presence and at a distance. The authors intend to demonstrate how an ad hoc software application, if placed in systematically structured activities, offers to children the opportunity to understand spatial relationships, by refining their ability to discriminate shapes and colours, to manipulate objects or to identify positions in the space (Vegliante, Miranda, 2020). From a methodological point of view, this app is part of a wider program consisting of playful-interactive sessions of exercises differentiated by levels of difficulty. After an initial training phase, the teacher guides and supervises the child in interacting with digital devices through a touch screen by dragging, assembling, rotating or manipulating the figures and receiving vocal feedbacks able to maintain high motivation. The created software model allows interfacing with multiple communication channels simultaneously so as to enrich traditional learning experiences. In conclusions, there are some summary considerations on the possible progress of the research and with the aim of demonstrating in which situations and in what ways this kind of enhancement program can contribute to the elaboration of visual-spatial representations in preschool age
The Gravitational Pull of Miranda's Blackhole: The Curious Case of J.D.B. v. North Carolina
No full textThis article analyzes the Supreme Court’s decision recognizing that a juvenile’s age is relevant in determining Miranda custody. The author critiques the Court’s reasoning, arguing that it expands Miranda doctrine in ways that create conceptual confusion and practical difficulties for law enforcement. He contends that the decision exemplifies the “gravitational pull” of Miranda—a tendency for its protections to extend beyond their original constitutional justification. Through a close reading of the opinion, the author explores how the Court’s approach blurs the line between constitutional law and policy-making. The article concludes that while the case reflects compassion toward juveniles, it further entrenches the doctrinal instability surrounding Miranda rights
