From Albania to Brazil: Ismail Kadaré's Broken april and its filmic adaptation, Walter Salles' Abril despedaçado
Full text linkDissertação (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
Authorship in the Interstices of History, Biography, Reality and Memory: Histoire(s) du cinéma and Cabra Marcado para Morrer
Full text linkEste artigo contrasta Histoire(s) du cinéma de Jean-Luc Godard e Cabra Marcado Para Morrer de Eduardo Coutinho, estão engajadas com a questão da autoria no cinema. Enquanto a imagem de Godard enfatiza a capacidade que tem um filme de transmitir a visão de mundo pessoal de um artista, a presença de Coutinho na tela funciona menos como um meio de subjetivar a obra do que como um catalizador instigando cetas reações nos "atores" filmados

Workplace environment effect employee' productivity at Syarikat Air Terengganu, Kuala Terengganu / Nur Haafizhah Ismail
Full text linkThe purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of Workplace Environment
toward Employees' Productivity at Syarikat Air Terengganu Sdn.Bhd., Kuala
Terengganu, Terengganu. This study used simple random for sampling technique and the
sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970). Survey questionnaires
were distributed to 92 respondents who worked as support staff and yield 86.96%
response rate. Majority of the respondents were female, aged 31 to 40 years old and from
STPM/Diploma education level. Many of them has 6-10 years of experience. The
findings showed that there was a moderate relationship between Workplace Environment
and Employees' Productivity (r= .485, p=0.00). Moreover, the descriptive statistics was
also significant as a result for furniture (mean=3.77, SD=.386), noise (mean=3.39,
SD=.826), temperature (mean=4.020, SD=.489), lighting (mean=3.85, SD=.420) and
spatial arrangement (mean=3.70, SD=.598). The result also indicated there are
relationship between workplace environment and employees' productivity. It is
recommended that managers should improve the productivity of the employee by alert
with workplace environment. Future research should study on several different types of
method to gather the data. This method can road to paperless and easy the author to
gather and distribute questionnaire other than time saving
Turbulence Modeling of Wall Jets using the Algebraic Structure Based Model
No full textReport PRE-2628. The Algebraic Structure Based Model (ASBM) of Langer and Reynolds (2003) provides an innovative approach for modeling the turbulent stresses, while incorporating information on the structure of turbulence and providing closure for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The normal turbulent stresses, for which the ASBM has shown superior results, are difficult to replicate using the conventional Boussinesq hypothesis that forms the backbone of common eddy-viscosity models. The results for mean velocities and diagonal turbulent stresses, and the computational cost are kept at an acceptable level to allow the model to compete effectively with common eddy-viscosity models. In this work, the ASBM has been applied to two new validation cases; the plain wall jet of Eriksson et al. (1998) and the slot impinging jet of Zhe and Modi (2001). Encouraging results are obtained for the normal turbulent stresses, while the mean velocities and turbulent shear stress are comparable to the v2f eddy-viscosity model of Lien and Durbin (1996). Also drawbacks of the ASBM are pointed out that emerge from the fact that the model is algebraic and hence relies only on local flow properties.Energy TechnologyProcess and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Kadare's Newly-Formed Words with the Suffix -Shëm
No full textIf a scholar studies the language that a particular writer uses, that implies that the scholar also endorses that writer's work. The language itself is alive and just like anything that is alive; it can be subject to injuries and damages. Ismail Kadare is a visionary author who senses the danger that a language may encounter. That is the reason why he goes on a mission to protect and enrich the Albanian language with newly-formed words. Using almost each and every one of the suffixes and prefixes available in Albanian while applying the internal word-forming rules that the Albanian language dictates, Ismail Kadare has created a vast number of new words that carry an immense lexical and stylistic value, without being morphologically incorrect. In this paper we study Ismail Kadare's newly-formed words using the suffix – shëm, thus offering our contribution to the studying of Ismail Kadare's newly-formed vocabulary
Date consumption and dietary significance in the United Arab Emirates
No full textDate consumption in the United Arab Emirates was determined among different subgroups of the nation's society. Adult consumers of both sexes and different age groups (18-30 and 30-60) and occupations (students, workers, at home) were surveyed for information on their daily consumption of six date food groups (rutab, tamr, seh, debbs, batheeth and madlouj). Percentage distribution of portion size, frequency of consumption and season, over different consumer groups per date food group, were determined. Differences in the daily consumption of every date food group within and among the different population groups were tested. The most consumed date food groups were rutab and tamr, with rutab being more frequently consumed than tamr during the summer season. Overall, no major differences were observed in average daily consumption per capita of most of the date food groups between males and females, between employed and home-based consumers, and between students and individuals of 18-30 years old. On average, daily consumption of dates per capita was 114.3 g, equivalent to 10 date fruits. However, it was noted that the younger population does not consume dates as much as the older population does. Nevertheless, data obtained highlighted the significance of dates in the UAE nation's diet considering the relatively high average consumption of dates per capita. © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry.AHMED IA, 1995, FOOD CHEM, V54, P305, DOI 10.1016-0308-8146(95)00051-J; *AM DIAB ASS AM DI, 1995, EXCH LISTS MEAL PLAN; BARRY N, 1993, SOC PHILOS POLICY, V10, P1; *DIET REF INT, 1999, AD DIET REF INT CALC; El-Behissy EY, 2001, J AGR FOOD CHEM, V49, P1239, DOI 10.1021-jf000812e; ELBEHISSY EY, 1998, DAILY CONSUMPTION RA; *FAO, 2004, FAOSTAT DAT FOOD AGR; IBRAHIM AM, 1993, DATE PALM ITS PLANTA; KHATAB A, 1982, P 1 INT S DAT PALM K; Lambiote B., 1982, P 1 INT S DAT PALM K; MAIKKI MA, 1997, DATE PALM, V1, P130; Miller CJ, 2003, EUR J CLIN NUTR, V57, P427, DOI 10.1038-sj.ejcn.1601535; *MIN AGR FISH, 1994, AGR STAT YB; MUSAIGER AO, 1993, TRADITIONAL FOODS AR; NIXON R.

The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy
No full textSequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes binding to host receptors in the placenta such as chondroitin sulphate A (CSA). Identification of the parasite ligand(s) responsible for placental adhesion could lead to the development of a vaccine to induce antibodies to prevent placental sequestration. Such a vaccine would reduce the maternal anaemia and infant deaths that are associated with malaria in pregnancy. Current research indicates that the parasite ligands mediating placental adhesion may be members of the P. falciparum variant surface antigen family PfEMP1, encoded by var genes. Two relatively well-conserved subfamilies of var genes have been implicated in placental adhesion, however, their role remains controversial. This review examines the evidence for and against the involvement of var genes in placental adhesion, and considers whether the most appropriate vaccine candidates have yet been identified
