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
EFL learning strategies used by female undergraduate students / Wafa Ismail Saud
Full text linkThe aim of the present study was to provide an accurate and holistic description of the language learning strategies used by female EFL undergraduate students, as well as to explore the relationship of language learning strategies with the two variables: major field of study and performance level in the English language. It also aimed at specifying the English language learning strategies that were associated with the four language skills.
The survey method was used on a sample of 264 female EFL undergraduate students who were enrolled in the first and second year of their undergraduate degree programme. Their majors were Medicine, English Language, Computer Science and Biology. Four tools were employed for eliciting information: Oxford’s (1990) Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), interviews, class observations and an achievement test.
The findings indicated that while EFL students employed a variety of language learning strategies, the cognitive and meta-cognitive ones were more frequently used than others. In general, EFL students reported medium overall strategy use. More importantly, the results provided new evidence for the relationship between strategy use and the two variables: major field of study and English language performance level. Medical, English and Computer Science majors used the meta-cognitive strategy category most often followed by the cognitive one. On the other hand Biology majors used the compensation strategy category most frequently followed by the meta-cognitive one. Similarly, results indicated that Medical students used the memory strategy category more than the students in all the other major fields of study. In general, Medical students reported the highest use of overall strategy while the Computer Science and

Biology students reported the least use of overall strategy. Regarding the relationship between strategy use and year level of the students, results revealed that both first and second year students share most of the strategies and that they are meta-cognitive strategy users. In general, they both reported medium overall strategy use. Additional results confirm the conclusion that language learning strategies are related to language proficiency. The findings indicated that proficient learners do not necessarily use more strategies but rather use different and more appropriate ones. Finally, the findings specified the language learning strategies that were associated with each of the four language skills.
The study concluded by bringing together the key findings, recommendations for EFL teachers and suggested areas for further research

Reference evapotranspiration study in AI-Qassim region
No full textDept. of Agricultural Engineering, College of Agriculture, King Saud University. Qassim, Saudi ArabiaA comparison of four methods for estimating grass reference evapotranspiration, ET 0' are pre-sented. The four methods are class A pan, Radiation, Jensen- Haise, and Penman. The Radiation method overestimated the other methods, but if the adjustment factor is to be taken equal to 0.9 the Radiation method would be close to the Jensen-Haise method. The derived seasonal average pan coefficient of 0.61 gives a more conservative value. The Penman method could be used with a local back radiation of 1.34 mm/day and an albedo for the cropped surface of 0.35. Considering the problems associated with the availability and reliability of weather data and the possible errors in Penman and Radiation methods, the Jensen-Haise method calibrated for Al-Qassim region and presented in this study is recommended as the most simple and practical method for estimating ETa
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
