In Sarbiewski's Circle − Albert Ines' Lyric Poetry
No full textAlbert Ines is discussed here as the author of the lyrical poem Lyricorum centuriae (Gdańsk 1655). In the collection there are many religious poems, especially ones taking up Virgin Mary as their subject matter, and hence Ines is described as vates Marianus. Ines' religious poems are bound by a double convention: that of the use of biblical and ancient metaphors; they are also even ”garrulous” because of motives of praise accumulated in a litany-style manner. His reflective poems are more interesting; they are a kind of intellectual-lyric poetry abouding in clever sayings, pointed antitheses, etc. Ines imitates Sarbiewski but being consistent with the rule ”imitari non expilare” he limits himself to only two ”parodies”; and even they are not very typical. The fact that Ines imitates Sarbiewski is also seen in taking up the same subjects in his poems. This similarity is sometimes rather faint so its significance for our interpretation will be limited
The Story of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
No full textabstract: The story of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz is one of a woman who defied the odds of her time. Sor Juana was a nun born in the 1600's in Mexico. From an early start, she had an endless passion for knowledge and always strove to learn as much as she could. She went on to become a nun at the Convent of Santa Paula and used her intellect to advocate for women's rights. Though met with opposition, she wrote many poems, letters, and even plays which included her strong push for women's equality. However, the name Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz is almost never mentioned in popular feminist discourse, despite Sor Juana being credited as one of the first feminist authors. This paper works to not only tell the story of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz in detail, but also works to answer the question, "Why do people not know about Sor Juana". By diving into the origins of the Feminist movement in the United States, the dark underbelly of Feminism is uncovered. Primarily, the topic of how racism in feminism has plague the civil rights movement, what damage has been done to people of color because of feminism's history, and how does that pertain to modern day feminism and Sor Juana. By telling her story through both written and visual aids, the voice of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz is no longer silenced but free to tell her tale and move a generation
The Encounter between the West and the Arab World in the Age of Nahdah (Renaissance). The Translation Movement in the Arab Literary Reviews
No full textIn quest'articolo si riflette sul ruolo giocato dalla riviste letterarie arabe nella diffusione della conoscenza della cultura occidentale. Il movimento di traduzione avviato durante la Nahda (la Rinascita) in Egitto e nella Grande Siria condusse a cambiamenti sostanziali dei canoni estetici, ma suscitò anche un movimento di forte opposizione da parte dei conservatori
Dall’esclusione all’inclusione. Questioni e possibili itinerari di vita per le persone con impairment intellettivo
No full textThe aim of this paper is continuing to think about the issues relating to inclusion, because of aseries of reasons that will be illustrated by the author. The same concept of inclusion needs tobe disambiguated, in order to act a transformative process that is necessary for the whole societyfor becoming welcoming to all. Exactly as happened in the seventies of the twentieth century,we think that the educational institution is a privileged place for the encounter with the other(and, therefore, capable of triggering the inclusive process). In order to remove the stigmawhichstill is around disability, it is important to promote as much as possible such socialization opportunities.With respect to disability (as will emerge from this paper), it should be reiterated that it is a sociohistorical-cultural construct and, therefore, that it varies with the changing of practices linked toit. In this regard, turning our gaze towards adult life (and towards the institutional practices implementedso far), we think is important to continue to problematize the housing conditions of thosewho have intellectual impairment, in order to imagine solutions which could be different fromthose acted up to now. If implemented, these solutions would allow the identity developmentof the people involved (changing the same meaning of disability)
Démantèlement de composites stratifiés par choc laser pour des applications de réutilisation
No full textCarbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are widely used in aerospace, wind energy, and sports applications due to their excellent specific mechanical properties and the reduction in emissions made possible by lightweight structures. However, a significant amount of composite waste is generated each year, coming from production or end-of-life structures, raising major challenges in terms of recycling and sustainability. Recycling and reusing continuous-fibre composites represent promising solutions to reduce the carbon footprint. Nevertheless, conventional methods, whether mechanical, chemical, or thermal, often lead to fibre degradation, the production of pollutants, or insufficient quality of the recovered materials.This thesis proposes a novel process based on laser shock dismantling at the ply scale. High-energy nanosecond laser pulses generate shock waves at the surface of the material, inducing localized delamination. Unlike traditional approaches that aim to separate individual constituents, this technique allows the recovery of entire plies or groups of plies while preserving fibre length, a key advantage for high-performance reuse. The recovered materials can be directly reused in less demanding applications or indirectly through reassembly of the dismantled plies via structural bonding.Additionally, this work investigates the effect of ageing on composites. Oxidation layers on the resin and composite are characterized, and the influence of ageing on laser parameters is analyzed to allow selective removal of oxidized plies. Moreover, a guided-wave monitoring method (SHM) is developed with a dual purpose: detecting structural changes due to ageing, enabling early assessment of natural degradation, and controlling the dismantling in real time by detecting delamination events and quantifying the affected areas.This multidisciplinary work demonstrates that laser shock dismantling, combined with the study of ageing and in situ SHM monitoring, provides an effective pathway for the recovery and reuse of composite materials while minimizing their environmental impact.Les polymères renforcés de fibres de carbone (CFRP) sont largement utilisés dans l’aéronautique, l’énergie éolienne et le sport, grâce à leurs excellentes propriétés mécaniques spécifiques et à la réduction des émissions rendue possible par les structures allégées. Cependant, une quantité importante de déchets composites est générée chaque année, provenant de la production ou de la fin de vie des structures, ce qui soulève des enjeux majeurs en matière de recyclage et de durabilité. Le recyclage et la réutilisation des composites à fibres continues représentent des solutions prometteuses pour réduire l’empreinte carbone. Néanmoins, les méthodes classiques, qu’elles soient mécaniques, chimiques ou thermiques, entraînent souvent une dégradation des propriétés des fibres, la production de polluants ou une qualité insuffisante des matériaux récupérés.Cette thèse propose un nouveau procédé fondé sur le démontage par choc laser à l’échelle du pli. Des impulsions laser nanosecondes à haute énergie génèrent des ondes de choc à la surface du matériau, provoquant une délamination localisée. Contrairement aux approches traditionnelles visant à séparer les constituants, cette technique permet de récupérer des plis entiers ou des groupes de plis tout en préservant la longueur des fibres, un atout essentiel pour des réutilisations à haute performance. Les matériaux récupérés peuvent être réemployés directement dans des applications moins exigeantes, ou indirectement par réassemblage des plis démontés via collage structural.En complément, ce travail étudie l’effet du vieillissement des composites. Les couches d’oxydation de la résine et du composite sont caractérisées, et l’influence du vieillissement sur les paramètres laser est analysée afin de permettre l’élimination sélective des plies oxydées. Par ailleurs, une méthode de suivi par ondes guidées (SHM) est développée à double finalité : détecter les évolutions structurales liées au vieillissement, permettant une évaluation précoce de la dégradation naturelle, et contrôler en temps réel le démontage par la détection des événements de délamination et la quantification des zones affectées.Ce travail multidisciplinaire montre que le démantèlement par choc laser, associé à l’étude du vieillissement et au suivi en temps réel par SHM, constitue une voie efficace pour la récupération et la réutilisation de matériaux composites, tout en limitant leur impact environnemental
Growth, genes, genomes: iInsights into microbial respiration of arsenic and selenium
No full textArsenic (As) and selenium (Se) are naturally occurring metalloids in the Earth’s crust. Their speciation is governed by the microbial communities in various environments which influences their mobility among the soil, water, and air interface. Microorganisms can utilize As and Se oxyanion as terminal electron acceptors in dissimilatory reduction. These organisms are ubiquitous and phylogenetically diverse. The objectives of the studies in this thesis were to gain an understanding of the metabolism of As and Se respiring bacteria, analyze the genes encoding enzymes involved in respiration and understand how these enzymes are regulated in the presence of various electron acceptors. We were able to isolate two novel As and Se respiring bacteria from different environments; from a wastewater treatment facility in Verona, NJ and an estuarine canal from Chennai, India. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis, strain S4 was classified as a novel genus and species, Selenovibrio woodruffi and strain S5 as a novel species, Desulfurispirillum indicum. We analyzed the genome of D. indicum and examined the expression of putative reductases to further understand respiratory metabolism of As and Se oxyanions. Five molybdoenzyme genes were identified in the genome of strain S5, three of which we were annotated to encode for a respiratory arsenate reductase arr, periplasmic nitrate reductase nar, and respiratory nitrate reductase nap. Also, an arsenate resistance system, ars, was identified. We were not able to positively identify a selenate reductase gene. Gene expression studies revealed that arr was an inducible gene and the only gene highly expressed during arsenate respiration. Growth studies showed that selenate respiration was inhibited by nitrate. Lastly, we also enriched activated sludge samples for tellurium oxyanion respiring bacteria. Thus, we not only added novel, phylogenetically different organisms to the ever-increasing list of As and Se respiring microbes, we also provided insights into the genes and enzymes involved in As and Se respiration and how they are regulated.Ph.

MARIONETA KAO SREDSTVO IZRAŽAVANJA
No full textPredstava Fragile naslov je diplomske ispitne predstave studentice Ines Zmazek pod mentorstvom doc. art. Hrvoja Seršića na Umjetničkoj akademiji u Osijeku, na Odsjeku za kazališnu umjetnost, smjer gluma i lutkarstvo. Predstava je nastala u sklopu dvogodišnjeg projekta Zavirimo iza pozornice: pioniri europskog lutkarstva. U ovom diplomskom radu autorica opisuje proces rada na predstavi, iznosi činjenice o lutkarima i njihovim životima, te se bavi marionetom kao sredstvom izražavanja. Na kraju autorica zaključuje da joj je rad na predstavi Fragile uvelike pomogao da istraži stvari koje do sada nije imala priliku istražiti, te da se još više razvije kao lutkarica.The play Fragile is the title of a graduate exam presentation by Ines Zmazek under mentorship of assistant professor of arts Hrvoje Seršić at the Academy of Art in Osijek, at the Department of Theater Art, acting and puppetry. The performance was born as part of the two-year project All Strings Attached: The Pioneers of European Puppetry Behind the Scenes. In this graduate thesis the author describes the process of work on the play, the facts about famous puppeteers and their lives, and deals with the marionette as a means of expression.
