From Albania to Brazil: Ismail Kadaré's Broken april and its filmic adaptation, Walter Salles' Abril despedaçado
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2007The aim of the present study is to analyse how issues of Albanian national identity are portrayed in Ismail Kadaré's novel Broken April (Prilli i Thyer), and how such features have been appropriated and translated onto the screen into a Northeastern Brazilian context. I depart from the premise that, even though Brazilian elements are indeed shown in the film, the non existence of the Kanun in Brazil, and the use of narrative techniques different from the ones employed in the novel render the story of the blood feuds in the film more universal than the genuinely Albanian reality depicted in the novel. In sum, the appropriation transcends the Albanian reality into a universal context, showing, at the same time, elements which are typical of the Brazilian culture.O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar como questões sobre a identidade nacional Albanesa são retratadas no romance Abril Despedaçado (Prilli i Thyer), de Ismail Kadaré, e como tais questões foram apropriadas e traduzidas para a tela num contexto Nordestino-Brasileiro. O estudo parte do princípio que, embora elementos tipicamente Brasileiros sejam mostrados no filme, a não existência do Kanun no Brasil, e o uso de técnicas narrativas diferentes das empregadas no romance ajudam a deixar a história das brigas de família no filme com um aspecto mais universal do que a realidade genuinamente Albanesa representada na romance. Em suma, a apropriação transcende a realidade Albanesa para um contexto mais universal, sem deixar de mostrar também elementos típicos da cultura Brasileira

Electrochemical studies of polymer electrolytes
No full textOxymethylene-linked PEG400 (APEO) was prepared by a modified Williamson ether synthesis to form a high molecular weight host polymer. The electrochemical properties of various lithium salts dissolved in APEO were investigated using a novel method, the gap electrode cell, which was developed for the conductivity measurements of the polymer electrolyte samples. The work demonstrated the electrochemical method for the calculation of ionic conductivity without reference to the cell constant. The method yielded results which are in agreement with those obtained by the conventional cylindrical cell, except at lower temperatures.In view of the sensitivity of electrochemical devices to water, a study of equilibration of polymer electrolyte (APEO/LiCIO4) with a humidified gas phase was carried out at various values of relative humidity (0-80%). A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was used for the determination of the water content in the electrolyte. The theory of the technique was reviewed to assess the effect of non-rigidity of sample films and to provide a method of correcting results for viscosity effects by measuring the admittance spectrum close to resonant frequency. For a film with 0.1 μm thickness it was possible to measure the mass change up to sufficient accuracy; however, for thicker films a correction due to fluidity was important especially at high hydration level. Three regimes of water interaction were recognised at 25°C: a strong water interaction below 1% relative humidity, followed by a region of linear increase in water uptake according to Henry's law until 60% humidity, and a region of an aqueous solution at >60% humidity. Conductivity change was found to be a more sensitive indicator of humidity than mass change; this effect was suggested as a device for a humidity sensor. A combined role of water as plasticizer and co-solvent was suggested to account for the complex relation between the ionic conductivity and polymer fluidity.</p

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Integrating waqf concept within the tourism sustainability framework: the stakeholders perspectives / Mohammed `Izzuddin Ismail
No full textThe purpose of this study is to observe the moderating effect of waqf contribution towards the economic pillar in the sustainability of the tourism industry in Malaysia. It examines the economic, socio-cultural, environmental, and transversal pillars contributing to the tourism industry's sustainability. The proposed model has assimilated pillars of tourism industry sustainability, sustainable development theory and waqf underlying model. This study empirically tested 150 respondents by using Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) method. The findings reveal that the model can explain 83% of the variance in the sustainability of the tourism industry. The result indicates that the economic, socio-cultural, environmental, and transversal pillars directly determine the sustainability of this industry. This study also found that the waqf contribution significantly moderates the economic pillar and tourism industry sustainability. Another possibility in enhancing the body of knowledge, a qualitative research design through the focus group discussion technique should be conducted to be more impactful. Future research can address an assessment of the waqf contribution programs among related parties in the tourism and waqf sector that should be carried out. Future research may also conduct in-depth studies on the role of sustainable pillars on tourism industry’s sustainability during and after global crises, such as COVID-19
