    Dissertação (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

    TURKAN, ISMAIL/0000-0001-9042-6870; BOR, MELIKE/0000-0002-0170-2800Plants have evolved different signalling pathways not only to maintain their life and survival but also for coping with different environmental stresses. Analysing and understanding the components of such sophisticated networks would contribute to improve crop performance and yield in challenging environments. Recent evidences suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are major players in these signalling routes in plants although for long time they were considered only for their toxic effects. the unique nonprotein amino acid, y-aminobutyric acid (GAGA) has long been designated to be a signalling molecule in plants in relation to its function as a neurotransmission inhibitor in animals. All of these molecules have similarities and unique features hence to date several studies were conducted to decipher their mode of action in plants. Here we aimed to provide a new perspective to a plausible ROS and/or RNS signalling and GABA-shunt interaction by means of the most recent and relevant literature. We focused on Ca+2 signalling, polyamine biosynthesis, photorespiration, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and, a post-translation modification- succinylation- which are the most likely processes where a potential interplay between ROS, RNS and GABA-shunt might take place

    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

    ROS and RNS: key signalling molecules in plants

    No full text
    Both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are important signals in plants and key regulators of a variety of processes including metabolism, growth and development, response to abiotic and biotic stresses, solute transport, autophagy and programmed cell death (PCD). The reviews and original research in this special issue reflect a burgeoning area of investigation, and highlight the latest thinking on new roles and interactions of ROS and RNS, the basis of their specificity and flexibility, and emergent fields

    Emerging roles for ROS and RNS - versatile molecules in plants

    No full text
    Increased cellular levels of potentially harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) come about as plants contend with harsh environmental conditions. At low concentrations, however, ROS and RNS can act as signals for the regulation of growth and development and for defence against biotic and abiotic stress. Indeed, we now know that they are involved in nearly every facet of plant metabolism and cell function. This virtual issue introduces active research in this rapidly moving field, as well as discussing the gaps in our knowledge and the technical developments which are opening up new vistas

    Ismail Fethi\'s Views on Spirit and Morality

    No full text
    Ismail Fethi'nin Ruh ve Ahlâk'la ilgili Görüsleri isimli bu çalısmada, daha önce hakkında herhangi bir çalısmanın yapılmadıgını tespit ettigimiz Ismail Fethi'nin ruh ve ahlâkla ilgili görüsleri ele alınarak, müellifin bu görüsleri felsefe açısından degerlendirilmeye çalısılmıstır. Müellifin ruh görüsü zihin felsefesi, ahlâk görüsü ise ahlâk felsefesi çerçevesinde ele alınmıstır. Ruh ile ilgili görüslerinde Ismail Fethi, dualist bakıs açısına sahip oldugundan, onun bu noktadaki görüsleri önde gelen dualist filozoflarla karsılastırmalı olarak ele alınmıstır. Dualistik ruh anlayısının problemlerine deginilerek Ismail Fethi'nin ruh görüsünün problemleri belirlenmistir. Ayrıca ahlâk görüsünde tasavvufî bakıs açısına sahip oldugunu tespit ettigimiz müellifin ahlâk görüsü önce Osmanlı ahlâk düsüncesi içinde sonra da tasavvufî ahlâk içindeki yeri tespit edilmeye çalısılmıstır. Bu yöntemle ele aldıgımız görüslerinde müellifin bilhassa ruh konusunda kendinden önceki düsünürlerden etkilenmis oldugunu, günümüzdeki bilimsel ve felsefî verilerle yer yer ters düstügünü söyleyebiliriz. Ahlâk görüsünde ise belirli bir sistem ortaya koymaktan ziyade bireysel ahlâk konularına deginerek ruh- beden ayrımını öngören ruh görüsüne paralel, ruhun tezkiyesi konusu dısına pek çıkmamıstır. Bu itibarla çalısmamızın niteligi Ismail Fethi nezdinde yeni ve orjinal fikirler ortaya çıkarmaktan çok, bilinmeyen bir düsünürün fikirlerinin degerlendirilmesi ve düsünce dünyamıza kazandırılması olarak özetlenebilir.In this study, namely \"Ismail Fethi\'s Views on Spirit and Morality\", Ismail Fethi\'s views regarding spirit and morality, which we determined that have not been studied before, are discussed and those views of the author are attempted to be evaluated from the point of philosophy. The authors\' view of spirit is examined in the frame of mind philosophy, while his view of morality is examined in the frame of moral philosophy. Since, in his views about spirit Ismail Fethi adopts dualistic approach, his views on that subject are compared with the primary dualistic philosophers\'. The problems of dualistic spirit concept are mentioned and the problems of Ismail Fethi\'s view of spirit are pointed out. Moreover, as we identified that regarding his view of morality the author adopts sufi perspective, the position of his moral view in the Ottoman moral thought and in the sufi morality is tried to be determined. We can say that in his views, which we examined with the method depicted above, regarding his view of spirit, in particular, the author is affected from the scholars before him. We can also say that in some aspects these views contradict with the contemporary scientific and philosophic findings. About his view of morality, it can be said that rather than composing a certain system, he mentioned more on the individual morality matters. In parallel with the view of spirit which presumes spritbody distinction, he barely went beyond the matter of purification of the soul. Thus, rather than revealing Ismail Fethi\'s new and original thoughts, the character of our study can be summarized as an evaluation of the thoughts of an unknown scholar and bringing his contribution in our contemporary thought
