espanolFunnyhouse plantea la lucha interior de Sarah, a quien su piel negra evidencia tanto su falta de identidad como su falta de lugar en la sociedad dominante. Ella se proyecta en una serie de yos que la castigan y la traicionan, llevandola a rechazar tanto su negritud como su feminidad, convirtiendola en una "muerta viviente" segun el termino de Balibar. En un intento de borrar su herencia, se imbuye de las tradiciones historicas y literarias europeas convirtiendose asi en otro, en terminos de Bhabha. El rechazo de su identidad lleva a Sarah a fracasar como mujer y como persona de color, y acaba suicidandose. La cuestion que se nos plantea es si hoy en dia, cuando los medios de comunicacion reiteran que el racismo es cosa del pasado, seguimos encontrandonos con situaciones como la de Sarah y aun nos queda camino por recorrer en cuanto a una verdadera apreciacion de la diversidad.

In my analysis I deal with some causes and origins of evil and of moral degeneration in the human dimension. My analysis focuses on Plato's Republic. The origins and causes of the presence of injustice and of vice lie in the very structure of the human soul. The division of the soul into parts which are at least reciprocally independent of each other implies that there is the possibility that they are in conflict with each other. This is the origin of injustice and the root of every form of evil. The correct equilibrium among the parts of the soul, which, in my opinion, are to be interpreted as authentic potencies, can be achieved only by developing the rational part. This development requires a thorough education in philosophy. Throughout my analysis I quote passages in which Plato points out the presence of bad instincts and, in general, of a morally difficult component in our soul. The kind of soul considered in my analysis is the embodied soul.

O livro "Aeroportos e Turismo Residencial"de Cláudia Ribeiro de Almeida, publicado pela Editorial Novembro, resulta de um trabalho de Doutoramento realizado pela autora na Universidade de Aveiro, e recebeu as melhores referências pelo Júri Internacional que o avaliou. Estamos certos que o seu contributo irá em muito beneficiar o desenvolvimento de um turismo mais forte e moderno em Portugal. Através de uma análise criteriosa, baseada em instrumentos de análise técnico--científicos,das parcerias estrtégicas, do turismo residencial e dos aeroportos. A gestão do sector do turismo do futuro necessita assim de uma postura muito mais pró-activa do que aquelas que tivemos no passado.

This paper proposes an analytical form of CoVaR, which is compatible with the existing VaR and stress-test based risk management framework, adding value by capturing systemic risk of a portfolio. Analytical CoVaR is a computationally inexpensive risk tool used to screen systemic risk. It is reasonably accurate and also has desired statistical properties hence is suitable for use by investment companies, brokerage …rms, mutual funds and any business that evaluates risk. Empirical backtest results show that historical analytical CoVaR exceedances pass both Failure Frequency Test and Conditional Test. The paper also presents a theoretical frameworks within which to investigate how analytical CoVaR captures systemic risk when asset and market returns are serially independent and when they are serially correlated. Analytical CoES is presented as an extension to capture loss beyond CoVaR.

Abstract: We are presenting a method to recognise geographical references in free text. Our tool must work on various languages with a minimum of language-dependent resources, except a gazetteer. The main difficulty is to disambiguate these place names by distinguishing places from persons and by selecting the most likely place out of a list of homographic place names world-wide. The system uses a number of language-independent clues and heuristics to disambiguate place name homographs. The final aim ...

In this paper we explore alternate projection and imaging mechanisms that don’t rely on luminous sources, such as screens or LEDs. We investigate how sunlight can be used along a continuum ranging from non-informational aesthet-ic lighting to simple controlled reflections of sunlight that provide enough information to depict legible content. Re-thinking the pixel as a reflection exposed challenges in me-chanics, material and ease of control. We found that slow, precise movements work best. The threshold between pixel and non-pixel provides great potential to add additional aes-thetics to a depiction based on sunlight, by transitioning be-tween atmospheric ambient lighting and information repre-sentation. Our exploration of depictions without traditional information-rich content provides an alternative to think about ambient, calm and public displays.

ESR: estrogen receptor locus IGF-I: insulin-like growth factor I MAS: Marker-assisted selection QTL: quantitative trait loci This paper discusses the use of genetic engineering applications in animal breeding, including a description of the methods, their potential and current uses and ethical issues. Genetic engineering is the name of a group of techniques used to identify, replicate, modify and transfer the genetic material of cells, tissues or complete organisms. Important applications of genetic engineering in animal breeding are: 1) Marker-assisted selection (MAS). The objective of this technology is to increase disease resistance, productivity and product quality in economically important animals by adding

Abstract: In this work we discuss the exact solution to the algebraic equation associated to the Ricci tensor in the quadratic f(R,Q) extension of Palatini gravity. We show that an exact solution always exists, and in the general case it can be found by matrix diagonalization. Furthermore, the general implications of the solution are analysed in detail, including the generation of an effective cosmological constant, and the recovery of the f(R) and f(Q) theories as particular cases in the corresponding limit. In addition, it is proposed a power series expansion of the solution which is successfully applied to the case of the electromagnetic field. We show that this power series expansion may be useful to deal perturbatively with some problems in the context of Palatini gravity.

PARADIGM analysis in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Table S1.

Whenever I edit a poorly written manu-script, I wish that the authors were aware of the importance of writing concisely and clearly and of the proper structuring of a research report. That knowledge would save both their time and my time, and scientists who are not proficient in English could also save the money they may have to pay translators or author’s editors for sub-stantial corrections of their manuscripts. We can alleviate the problem by provid-ing instructions for scientists and science translators. However, to be effective, the instructions must be concise and clear. That is why in 2010 the European Association of Science Editors (EASE) published its

Se ha realizado un analisis contrastivo de dos noticias de divulgacion cientifica publicadas en el Guardian y en El Pais sobre el mismo hallazgo cientifico. El objetivo del analisis era estudiar como se produce la (re)contextualizacion de la informacion cientifica en los medios de comunicacion escritos de diferentes culturas. Tras un analisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, los resultados muestran que, a pesar de que la dimension contextual es similar, la noticiabilidad se obtiene mediante estrategias de organizacion textual y atribucion diferentes en cada caso, que podrian relacionarse con diferencias de tipo cultural en las expectativas de cada grupo de lectores. Los resultados tambien indican que las comparaciones transculturales pueden poner de relieve caracteristicas de los articulos de divulgacion cientifica que no se manifiestan cuando estos son tratados como meras traducciones entre distintos generos cientificos, por lo que se concluye que los analisis comparativos de este tipo ...

El epígrafe CIL II 1433 (Turri genio), supuestamente copiado a finales del s. XV, plantea importantes problemas de carácter textual, de interpretación, soporte, localización, etc. Un nuevo análisis sistemático de las fuentes que lo transmiten permite poner de manifiesto su indisociable relación con el epígrafe falso CIL II 164*, así como la vinculación de ambos textos con el sepulcro romano de la Torre de Sant Josep en Villajoyosa. Se argumenta la falsedad de ambos epígrafes, cuyos textos habrían sido creados a raíz de la contemplación del conjunto arqueológico donde se sitúa la Torre de Sant Josep, lo que a su vez constituye el primer episodio conocido de la recepción moderna de este conjunto arqueológico.

Conformally flat tilted Bianchi type V cosmological models in presence of a bulk viscous fluid and heat flow are investigated. The coefficient of bulk viscosity is assumed to be a power function of mass density. Some physical and geometric aspects of the models are also discussed.
