Tradução, edição. William Morris e o livro ideal
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2015.Este tese examina a relação entre tradução e edição, dois ofícios mediadores entre um texto e seu leitor cuja ação se confunde e complementa na transmissão das ideias e das obras. Duas linguagens que, a partir de escolhas verbais ou verbo-visuais, dão nova forma a um texto conferindo-lhe novos significados. Duas formas privilegiadas de reescrita que, entre traição e criação, mantêm vivo um texto original ao atualizá-lo em diferentes línguas, tempos e espaços. Num primeiro momento, é observado o modo como se realizam tradução e edição em diferentes períodos da história do livro, e em que medida, ao refletirem valores e ideologias da cultura em que se inscrevem, espelham o modo como se manifesta, nessa cultura, a relação com o Outro, o estrangeiro. Num segundo momento, é enfocada a obra do artista e poeta William Morris (1834-1896). Tradutor, Morris se destacou por introduzir a literatura nórdica na Inglaterra oitocentista. Editor, produziu com arte, em sua Kelmscott Press, livros que marcaram a história do moderno design editorial. Examina-se aqui, mais detidamente, como se integram tradução e edição num projeto seu de quase vida inteira, a translação das sagas islandesas. E como se integra a translação das sagas com a sua longa busca do livro ideal.Abstract : This thesis examines the relationship between translation and publishing, two professions that mediate between texts and their readers in the transmission of ideas and works through activities that are interrelated, interdependent and often indistinguishable. Two languages that give new form to a text, endowing it with new meanings through verbal or verbal-visual choices. Two privileged forms of rewriting that inhabit the space between betrayal and creation, rejuvenating original texts by bringing them up to date in different languages, times and places. The thesis begins by observing the different modes of translation and publishing that have prevailed during different periods in the history of books and discussing the extent to which these different modes, which reflect the values and ideologies of their host cultures, mirror the way that the relationship with the Other, the foreign, is manifest in these cultures. The thesis then narrows its focus to the work of the artist and poet William Morris (1834-1896). As a Translator, Morris? most significant achievement was to introduce Nordic literature to nineteenth-century England. As an Editor, the pioneering combination of art with publication that he carried on at the Kelmscott Press resulted in productions that have shaped modern book design. This analysis examines in detail the way that Morris integrated translation and publishing in his near-lifelong project to translate the Icelandic sagas and the way that he integrated translation of these sagas into his painstaking quest for the ideal book

Determinants of nocturnal enuresis in homozygous sickle cell disease
No full textThe determinants of nocturnal enuresis in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease have been investigated in 16 enuretic and 16 age and sex matched non-enuretic children. Overnight fluid deprivation tests (8pm-8am) demonstrated no significant difference in maximum urine osmolality or urine volumes, although the latter tended to be higher in the enuretic children. Maximum functional bladder capacity, estimated by maximum voided volume during oral fluid loading, was lower and the ratio of overnight urine volume to maximum functional bladder capacity higher in the enuretic than the non-enuretic group. Enuretic children were more likely than non-enuretics to be considered deep sleepers by their family. High urine volumes may contribute to nocturnal enuresis in SS disease, although the similar values in enuretic and non-enuretic children implies that additional factors determine the presence of enuresis. Low maximum functional bladder capacity, and a high ratio of overnight urine volume to maximum functional bladder capacity, appear to be important determinant
An odontological analysis of 18th and 19th century burial sites from in and around Cape Town
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 138-157).The development of the city of Cape Town in the last 20 years has led to the discovery of burial sites 110t sufficiently documented in the city's archival records. Human remains under study were recovered from three different locations namely Cobern Street (11=28) mid 18th century; Marina Residence (11=40) and Polyoak (11=9) both late 18th to early 19th century. The aim of this study is to investigate oral hygiene; dental pathologies; behaviour; lifestyle aspects and geographic origins as seen on the dentition using standard osteoscopic methods. Calculus deposition which is an indicator of poor oral hygiene was found in 98.7% of the individuals. Pathologies such as caries at 4.3, abscesses at 2.5 and teeth lost antemortem at 8.8 per mouth, the Cape Poor were found to be similar to 18th century poor communities. The evidence points more towards a difference in oral hygiene practices but similar diets between the three communities. The seemingly shared social class does not, at least in the earlier times of the colony, mask the diverse cultural heritage as evidenced in the dental behaviour through intentional, unintentional dental modification as well as habitual dental markers
Weak if any effect of estrogen on spatial memory in rats
No full textIn a number of species, males appear to have spatial abilities that are superior to those of females. The favored explanation for this cognitive difference is hormonal: higher testosterone levels in males than in females. An alternative explanation focuses on the role of varying levels of estrogens in females during the estrus cycle; females perform as well as males on days of low estrogen, but more poorly on days of high estrogen. Other investigators have reported that estrogens improve both types of memory processes, which depend on the striatal (nonspatial navigation) and hippocampal (spatial) memory systems. Additionally, estrogens have been found to protect the working memory. These contradictory results initiated the present study, in which ovariectomized female rats were trained to escape in a Morris water maze. The daily trials were preceded by estradiol application in low doses
(Experiment I) or in higher doses (Experiment II). In Experiment I, no differences at all were found between the latencies of the treated and control groups to reach a submerged platform in a Morris water maze. In Experiment II, however, the animals treated with the higher dose of estradiol showed a small deficit in the acquisition of the Morris water maze task. This study indicates that estradiol at around the physiological level has no effect on spatial learning and memory functions
Reformulating the rj-McMC Algorithm for 3D Inversion of Passive Seismic Data for Near-Surface Characterization
No full textGeophysical subsurface characterization techniques could, due to their non-invasive nature, play a crucial role in the design and subsequent construction of infrastructure in urban & industrial environ- ments. Geo-data specialist company Fugro sees potential in upgrading their current ambient-seismic- noise-tomography workflow, to make use of state-of-the-art inversion schemes with the main goal of increasing the quality and accuracy of the initial-site characterization delivered to clients. In this thesis I explore the feasibility of utilizing the reverse-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (rj-McMC) algorithm for the inversion of ambient seismic noise for characterization in urban & industrial environments. Specif- ically, testing the potential of scaling down this inversion algorithm to fit in a small scale, near-surface framework. To achieve this, I first carried out analyses to evaluate the appropriate Rayleigh wave frequency range, after which realistic noise hyperparameters, suited for this reduced scale problem, were obtained. Because of the potential exploitation of in-situ borehole measurements, I reformulated the Bayesian prior within the rj-McMC algorithm to implement these constraining shear wave velocity values appropriately. I conducted extensive synthetic experiments to gain insight into the behavior of this adapted algorithm, from which it was concluded that the inherent dynamic discretization partially prevents these constraints from being implemented to their full extent. Nevertheless, promising results lead me to conclude that the use of the rj-McMC algorithm for application in near-surface urban & industrial environments is feasible.Applied Geophysics | IDEA Leagu
Introduction of complementary foods and the relationship to food allergy
No full textObjectives: To address questions regarding breastfeeding, complementary feeding, allergy development, and current infant-feeding recommendations. Methods: This was a nested, case-control within a cohort study in which mothers of 41 infants diagnosed with food allergy by the age of 2 years (according to double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge) and their 82 age-matched controls kept prospective food diaries of how their infants were fed in the first year of life. Results: Infants who were diagnosed with food allergy by the time they were 2 years of age were introduced to solids earlier (?16 weeks of age) and were less likely to be receiving breast milk when cow’s milk protein was first introduced into their diet. Conclusions: This study supports the current American Academy of Pediatrics’ allergy prevention recommendations and the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition recommendations on complementary feeding to not introduce solids before 4 to 6 months of age. It also supports the American Academy of Pediatrics’ breastfeeding recommendations that breastfeeding should continue while solids are introduced into the diet and that breastfeeding should continue for 1 year, or longer, as mutually desired by mother and infant
