Myanmar is in a protracted revolutionary situation. State military authority has been greatly weakened but has not collapsed in the face of an array of armed and unarmed forces, new and established, which have fought against the junta that seized power in 2021. What forms of solidarity have contributed to the making of a revolutionary situation in Myanmar? How have they been sustained? Where and why has solidarity been hindered or broken? These questions animate the contributions to this Special Issue. To introduce them, this article explains the adoption of “revolution” as a category to describe and interpret events in Myanmar since the military coup. It does this by juxtaposing the period of transition in the 2010s, and interpretations of it, with the post-coup situation. It argues that as the transition paradigm became commonsense, it constrained understanding about happenings in Myanmar. Everything was debated in reference to an anticipated future state. Against that way of proceeding, the article advocates for description and interpretation of the revolutionary situation that turns on its radical contingency and eventfulness.

This design guideline covers the basic elements in the field of Liquified Natural Gas - LNG Units, in sufficient detail to allow an engineer to design a LNG unit with the suitable size of diameter, reflux rate, actual stages, exergy efficiency, liquefied temperature, minimum work and heat during liquefaction. This design guideline includes design of a fractionator LNG unit, and liquefaction process. LNG will likely play an increasing role in the development of giant gas fields, as most countries, especially net oil importers, are keen on developing their gas reserves, however stranded, for greater energy independence and extending domestic oil reserves where applicable, as well as for environmental reasons.

So far, so close; so close, so far (with postscript) 2012 《星之聲》與《秒速5厘米》是反面的倒映關係，具體地在昇和貴樹兩人身上展示出來。昇在看來不可能的境況之中，相信「可能」並朝向「可能」的方向邁進；至於貴樹，雖然也處身於不可能的境況中，而且不及昇那樣來得絕望，可他就是選擇了相信「不可能」，結果讓不可能成為事實。”One more Time, One more Chance” ，上帝何止一次給予我們機會，但我們相信那不可能的可能嗎？一切的關係，最終都涉及這樣的一種許諾與相信踐行；而我們，相信？還是不相信？

This chapter initially outlines principles of narrative discourse structure before presenting an analysis of the discourse structure of the Joseph narratives from Genesis and Qur’an Sura 12 respectively. Similarities and differences between the accounts are identified, with discussion devoted to the possible reasons for the differences. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the purposes of both accounts, in the process posing the question whether the Yusuf narrative from the Qur'an serves as a kind of "salvation" narrative for Muslims.

Nós Globais. Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra 2022 Investigações em curso sobre Questões da Globalização, 2022

Habitualmente, o estudo sobre a Antiguidade não é convocado para a reflexão alargada sobre os problemas da globalização no mundo contemporâneo. No entanto, há vários aspetos em que a reflexão sobre a história antiga pode contribuir para um aprofundamento da análise sobre o fenómeno da globalização. Neste texto, procuraremos refletir sobre a dimensão cultural da globalização, através de um exemplo diretamente retirado do conhecimento do passado, neste caso, o conhecimento global sobre a antiga civilização do Egito. Vários mecanismos de reconhecimento, de receção e de apropriação do passado egípcio são passados em revista, com especial enfoque para os respeitantes ao recorte cronológico do Renascimento e do pós-expedição napoleónica ao Egito (1789-1801) até aos nossos dias, designadamente nos domínios atuantes e ativos da egiptologia e da egiptomania, para demonstrar que estamos perante um interessantíssimo fenómeno de globalização cultural. Palavras-chave: egiptologia; egiptomania; receção do antigo Egito; tutmania; mumiamania; globalização
