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
Shape recognition application (SRA) / Abdul Rahman Ismail
No full textThe project is about to develop computer application for recognizing shape. This project focuses on a basic shape like square, circle, oval, rectangle and a triangle. This project is developed for children as they're learning in knowing type of shape. This project has been developed by using MATLAB software and its library, Image Processing Toolbox. The project has used a simple mathematical formula in MATLAB to recognize shapes. The result return is fully accurate for those five shapes, but for other some shape is not. The application cannot recognize the shape like hexagon, pentagon, parallelogram and trapezoid. The image file is accepted as input and the image with a label of result (shape name) is returned as output. The type of image file support for this application was .jpeg, .jpg, .png, and .bmp only. The maximum of image file accepted is 1024 pixel by 1024 pixel. If the input image chosen exceed the maximum size, the result will get bugged and the output image will exceed viewed boarder
Moisture absorption and diffusivity of epoxy filled layered-structure nanocomposite
No full textThis paper studies moisture absorption and diffusivity of epoxy reinforced layered structure nanocomposites and its effect on fracture toughness. Two different types of layered fillers employed in the study were clay and graphene platelets, in which both surface layers were unmodified and modified by characterized by swelling analysis and fracture toughness measurement. The outcomes surfactant. The nanocomposites were showed that the moisture absorption and diffusivity decreased with the addition of layered fillers. It was found that the modified graphene platelets and clay outperformed the unmodified layers and neat epoxy in terms of reduction of moisture absorption and diffusivity. The modified graphene platelets reduced the moisture uptake and diffusivity about 30% and 33%, respectively compare to neat epoxy, thus indicates its outstanding performance in barrier applications. However, once the nanocomposites were swelling in the water for 5 days, it is noticed that the fracture toughness of nanocomposites were reduced significantly about 35% in average. Nevertheless, the modified graphene platelets still display the better performance compare to the other samples although there was reduction of fracture toughness

Consumer behavior towards Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks at Manukan and Sapi island / Susanna Ismail
No full textToday, parks are emerging as one of most important spaces. They are multi-purpose public spaces that offer social, economic and environmental benefits. The Tunku Abdul Rahman Park comprises of a group of five island Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Sulug and Pulau Gaya. The Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is popular for activities such as sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, diving, barbeque, bird-watching, nature walks along guided forest and mangrove trails, beach fishing (only hook and line permitted), outdoor camping (only on Sapi and Mamutik, with prior permission from the Sabah Parks office or the Park Ranger at the islands. Consumer behavior is the study of how people buy, what they buy, when they buy and why they buy. In order to fulfill customer needs and wants marketer or the organization should do some observation and what is individual's perception of what is out there of what has taken place because consumers perceptions can affects their actions, their buying habits, their leisure habits and so forth because individuals make decisions and take actions based on what they perceive to be reality and it is important that organization to understand the whole notion of perception so that they can readily determine what factors influence consumer to buy

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
