"Rivers of the soul" by Miyamoto Yuriko : biography of the author, translation, discussion
No full textMiyamoto Yuriko has been acclaimed as a writer for many years, although it is perhaps only since the war that her works have been made more readily available to the public. During much of her life, she was placed under a writing ban by the authorities and could publish little. Moreover, the works she wrote as a Communist, and her works on women in particular, were more readily accepted by the public after various social changes occurred in post-war Japan.
Most of her works, apart from essays and criticisms of which she wrote a great many, are autobiographical. This lends a deep credibility and vitality to her writing since her growth and development, both as a woman and as a writer, are vividly portrayed.
One of her works, "Kokoro no Kawa", is a short story describing in semi-autobiographical style her first marriage to Araki Shigeru. It depicts the protagonist's development, and her increasing awareness and understanding of her position, to the final climax of the story.
A translation of "Kokoro no Kawa" is here presented, together with a biography of Yuriko and a detailed analysis of the story itself
Miyamoto Yuriko: A trajetória de um "eu" feminino na história japonesa
No full textThe watakushi shōsetsu, or shishōsetsu — translated as I novel or narrative of the self — is a term used to classify many literary works written in Japan, especially those from the first half of the 20th, it brings together the most diverse types of texts under its name as long as the subject dealt with in them can be associated with reality, understood as the experiences lived by its author. This article deals with the trajectory of the Japanese writer Miyamoto Yuriko (1899-1951) in whose work political engagement and efforts to denounce the female condition in Japanese society play a central role, and examines the extent to which her writing, in which many autobiographical elements are present, would be further or closer to the notion of watakushi shōsetsu.O watakushi shōsetsu, ou shishōsetsu — que pode ser traduzido como romance, escrita ou narrativa do eu — é um termo usado para classificar muitas obras escritas no Japão, especialmente aquelas da primeira metade do século XX, e reúne os mais diversos tipos de textos sob a sua rubrica, bastando que o assunto tratado neles possa ser associado à realidade, entendida como as experiências vividas por seu autor. Este artigo trata da trajetória da escritora japonesa Miyamoto Yuriko (1899-1951), em cuja obra, o engajamento político e os esforços para denunciar a condição feminina na sociedade japonesa ocupam um papel central, e examina em que medida sua escrita, na qual muitos elementos autobiográficos estão presentes, se afastaria ou se aproximaria do watakushi shōsetsu
Desulfosarcina widdelii sp. nov. and Desulfosarcina alkanivorans sp. nov., hydrocarbon-degrading sulfate-reducing bacteria isolated from marine sediment and emended description of the genus Desulfosarcina
No full textIn previous studies, two hydrocarbon-degrading sulfate-reducing bacteria, strains PP31(T) and PL12(T), were obtained from oil-polluted marine sediments of Shuaiba, Kuwait. They had been reported as organisms capable of anaerobic degradation of p-xylene and n-alkanes, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PP31(T) showed 98.8% sequence similarities to that of Desulfosarcina variabilis ` Montpellier'T. Strains PL12(T) had 97.8% of sequence similarity to Desulfosarcina ovata oXys1(T). They both have been partially characterized, but not been validly published as new species of the genus Desulfosarcina. In this study, additional characterizations of these strains were made to describe them as two new species of the genus Desulfosarcina. Major cellular fatty acids of strain PP31(T) were C-15 : 0 (25.9 %) and anteiso-C-15 : 0 (22.3 %), whereas those of strain PL12(T) were C-15 : 0 (21.3 %), C-16 : 0 (17.8 %) and anteiso-15 : 0 (11.6 %). The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene revealed that these isolates should not be classified as any of the known species in the genus Desulfosarcina. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, these two sulfate reducers are proposed to form two novel species of the genus Desulfosarcina : Desulfosarcina widdelii sp. nov. (PP31(T) = JCM 31729(T) = DSM 103921(T)) and Desulfosarcina alkanivorans sp. nov. (PL12(T) = JCM 31728(T) = DSM 103901(T)). In addition, emended description of the genus Desulfosarcina is presented in this study
学びの基礎となる｢ことばの力｣を育てるための組織的アプローチ ―個業的取組から協働的取組への転換を通して―
No full text本研究は, Ａ小学校の特色ある教育活動である｢ことばの力｣の育成を, これまでの個業的取組から協働的取組へと転換する際に, 組織的アプローチとしてどのような働きかけが効果的かを明らかにすることを目的とする｡その転換過程では, 佐古秀一の｢学校組織開発理論｣をもとに, 学校改善の要件である①教職員の自律性, ②学校の組織性の２点からなる｢学校の内発的改善力｣に着目し, 協働化によるアプローチを行った｡その結果, 教職員の｢管理職との協働｣の意識や, 教職員間の｢立場の違い克服｣による｢支え合いの自覚｣などの変化が見られ, 協働的効力感に伸びが認められた｡また児童においても, ｢ことばの力を育てるための学びタイム｣の取組により, 自己の変容の手ごたえを感じ, 自ら学ぼうとする学習意欲の向上が認められた｡協働化による学校改善は, 教職員だけでなく児童にも効果的な変容をもたらすことが明らかとなった

No full textInferência em cadeias de salto com memória de alcance variável
No full textSaber o quanto de informação do passado é relevante para predições é a principal motivação deste trabalho. Aqui são apresentadas as cadeias de salto com memória de alcance variável, processos a tempo contínuo que dependem de uma parte do passado que não é fixa, mas variável – chamada de contexto. Esses processos se caracterizam por possuir uma árvore probabilística de contextos imersa, definidas como sendo o conjunto de contextos ao qual é relevante retornar. São apresentados métodos de estimação para os parâmetros desse processo, e, em particular, é estudado de forma mais aprofundada o estimador definido para a árvore de contextos, similar ao Algoritmo Contexto, mas que além de levar em conta os estados ele também considera o tempo de permanência em cada estado. A fim de avaliar a sua performance, são realizadas simulações de amostras geradas a partir de diversos conjuntos de parâmetros diferentes, com o objetivo de verificar em que situações há uma maior taxa de acertos ou de erros do estimador em estimar a verdadeira árvore desses processos. Também é realizado um estudo acerca do comportamento do estimador em amostras com ruídos. Para isso são inseridos três tipos de ruídos nas amostras em três quantidades diferentes, e é realizada uma comparação do desempenho do estimador conforme as mudanças de cenário apresentadas.55 f
Care as Key to Political Aesthetics
No full textThe paper investigates the concept of care starting from Socrates and Plato to Italian Humanism, as the art of educating ourselves and others to live a good life. Taking into account some contemporary philosophical perspectives (Richard Shusterman; Yuriko Saito; Ellen Dissanayake) the author focuses on care in relation to the notion of sensitiveness, education and community. Then she claims that care has a key role within political aesthetics, understanding aesthetics as “theory of perception”, in line with the German philosopher Alexander Baumgarten
