description: Francisella tularensis is the pathogenic bacteria responsible for causing Tularemia, a severe disease that has been explored as a biological weapon, leading to its classification as a Category A bioterrorist agent. To facilitate the development of novel therapeutics against F. tularensis, we investigated the metabolic enzyme IspD, which catalyzes an early intermediate step in the 2-C-methylerythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway (or non-mevalonate pathway) responsible for isoprenoid biosynthesis in a variety of bacteria, including Francisella tularensis. Since the MEP pathway has no homologs in the human genome, it is an attractive target for antibiotic development. IspD was cloned, expressed, and purified. An assay which could be adapted to high throughput screening was used to determine the KM = 177.9 +/- 35.2 μM, Kcat=1.0 +/- 0.10 s-1, and Kcat/Km = 3.4×105 +/- 6.7×104 M-1 s-1. FtIspD was found to exclusively prefer Mg2+ for catalytic activity, and demonstrated the highest nucleotide specificity for CTP, although deoxy-CTP, ATP, GTP, TTP, and UTP resulted in some enzymatic activity. Site directed mutants were used to probe whether the enzyme could be regulated by phosphorylation at a conserved T141 site. Bioprospecting was also evaluated as an alternative to costly high throughput screening, and although a ligand for IspD was not discovered in a tested natural product molecular library, the bioprospecting method was validated by isolating fosmidomycin from its known target, IspC.

title: The Impact of September 11, 2001 on Anti-Islamic Hate Crimes in the U.S.

subject: Hate crime

description: The Hate Crime Statistics Act was originally passed in order to gain a better understanding of hate crimes and the extent of their presence in America. Since 1990, this data has also primarily been used to identify trends in hate crimes. The current study examines the data in order to better understand the impact of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in the U.S. on anti-Islamic hate crimes. Initial studies examining anti-Islamic hate crimes only look at the immediate impact of 9/11, with most of the focus on 2000-2001. The present study expands on previous research by using a larger time frame than past studies (from 1996-2010). In order to determine if there was an association between the 9/11 attacks and hate crime incidents in general or if there was an isolated association between the attacks and anti-Islamic hate crimes exclusively, annual and monthly hate crime data were examined through independent samples t-tests. Ten hate crime categories showed an increase in the monthly analysis. In comparison to all of the hate crime categories listed in the UCR, anti-Islamic hate crimes had the second largest monthly mean difference from pre-2001 to post-2001, after anti-homosexual (both), but also had the second largest percentage increase from pre-2001 to post-2001, after anti-mental disability. Examination of monthly trends also suggests that trends in anti-Islamic hate crimes were uniquely affected by 9/11. Based on these findings, ideas for future research are explored.

Access to justice and sustainable development:
 the National Green Tribunal of India
Creators: name: Puggioni, Antonio
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2016
Subjects: JA Political science (General)

description: With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the relevance of the notion of sustainable development - that bridges environmental, economic and social dimensions - has risen to the status of programme for the international community. In this framework, a 'fourth', legal leg of sustainable development has been envisioned as a necessary complement to realise the 2030 Agenda, through the role of inclusive and effective institutions.
 The role of tribunals and of access to justice assumes a significance insofar as it guarantees the respect of the rule of law that has been highlighted as the fundamental aspect for achieving sustainable development. In this regard, experiences of national implementation of the principle of sustainable development in the field of human rights are crucial for understanding current developments and for studying legal systems that are mutually influencing and reinforcing each other.
 Concerning the guarantee of environmental rights, three main strategies can be outlined: the maintenance of general jurisdictions; the establishment of 'green benches' as sections of ordinary tribunals dealing with environmental cases; the creation of specialised tribunals, with experts in scientific subjects and judges specifically trained in this field.
 In light of its experience of 'low-yielding' judicial institutions, characterised by delays, backlogs and insufficient capacities of case management, India undoubtedly constitutes one of the leading cases for assessing the validity of institutional measures aimed at the application of the concept of sustainable development in the legal field. In this regard, the Parliament of India chose to pursue the third path and enacted the National Green Tribunal Act in 2010. The experience of India is thus analysed considering, on the one hand, the constitutional framework embodied in the protection of environmental rights within the right to life enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution, with Articles 48A and 51A(g) and, on the other hand, the interpretation of the courts regarding international law principles (sustainable development, polluter pays and precautionary principle), that are statutorily applied by the National Green Tribunal. The thesis thus analyses the advantages brought forward by the newly established tribunal - expanded access to tribunals, through new rules and a more flexible procedure; enhanced expertise due to the change in the composition of courts; consistency in decisions, thanks to the specialisation - as well as possible drawbacks caused by the resort to creeping jurisdiction and by the monopolisation of the interpretation of sustainable development by a single environmental court.
Beyond the trauma: new perspectives for preservation, management and museum representation of
 Jewish cultural heritage in post-Soviet cities
Creators: name: Felcher, Anastasia
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2016
Subjects: NX Arts in general

description: The thesis is based on three starting points. The first is on the acknowledgement of the lamentable condition of buildings of Jewish-related
 heritage in cities with a multicultural past across the present-day former Soviet Union. The second is on the acknowledgement of a slow process of gradual recognition of these traces as examples of tangible heritage and a provisional resource for heritage commodification. The third is the on the acknowledgement of 'heritage', 'memory' and 'space' as phenomena that are subject to manipulation on various levels. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the understanding of what constitutes national heritage in the newly-appeared independent states has conformed to correspond with the interpretations and values of national histories.
 In managerial terms some immovable heritage of ethnic minorities has been returned to the symbolic successors of previous owners. This defined provisional sources of funding for partial renovation of this heritage, as well as its use. The remaining sites, the majority of which are monuments protected by the state, most frequently stay unattended. In order to design policy recommendations to improve the situation, a complex understanding of factors that influence heritage protection, interpretation, and promotion in the post-Soviet space is needed. Within this state of affairs, the thesis aims to analyze agency behind 'top-down' policies and 'down-up' grass-roots initiatives towards (non)interpretation of Jewish-related heritage sites in Chi?in?u (Moldova),
 Odessa and L'viv (Ukraine) and Minsk (Belarus). This selection of cities is chosen to reveal the multiplicity of factors that determine apparent similarity in heritage condition and management in the post-Soviet space, but instead reveal diverse dynamics of interaction between heritage and politics; heritage and nationalism; heritage and civil society, etc. The methodology utilized here includes archival search, participant observation, media and expert opinion analysis, as well as examination of museum exhibitions. The fieldwork included data collection on the actual condition of Jewish heritage in the cities under discussion and interviews with various agents. Elite interviews were analyzed as basis for authoritative heritage discourse before discussing actual heritage projects in these cities. Based on interdisciplinary analysis, the thesis provides an embracing overview of the broad spectrum of agency behind Jewish heritage-related
 initiatives (or their absence). It then offers recommendations for the
 advancement of managerial strategies.
title: The Crescent and the Dynamo: The Cultural and Linguistic Attitudes of Muslims in the Washington Metropolitan Area
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: This modified grounded theory study discusses the linguistic and cultural attitudes of multicultural/multilingual Muslims living in the Washington DC metropolitan area and offers an emerging theory to explain how these attitudes developed. The findings of this study suggest that the influence and relevance of heritage cultures and languages of participants is diminishing significantly. Fluid identities were preferred by most participants. These non-traditional identities resolved much of the tension among their heritage cultures/languages, the English language, Islam, and globalism. Choosing the English language as their dominant language and identifying as American were not only compatible with most participants’ Muslim identities, but also integral and essential. While heritage languages and cultures were largely extraneous to participants’ lives in most cases, the English language was vital, as it was associated with the ability to access powerful ideas that challenged the traditional norms, assumptions, values, and practices of heritage cultures.
Integrated risk assessment for cultural heritage sites: a holistic support tool for decision-making

Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2016
Subjects: NX Arts in general

description: The majority of the studies related to risk or the risk management of cultural heritage focus on natural hazards and armed conflict. However, cultural heritage sites face new and numerous threats that jeopardize their conservation. Currently, risk assessment focuses on specific cases of potential damage and hazards, and fails to take into account the interdependence between risk factors, causes, and management. This situation is compounded by the fact that the field of cultural heritage does not tend to operate a 'culture of assessment' in which decisions are taken in an informed way. For this reason, the aim of this research is to propose an integrated management support tool for the identification and prioritization of risk factors in the conservation of cultural heritage sites. In order to achieve this objective, the research approaches the conception of risk used in the cultural heritage context, and offers a new definition. This research highlights the importance of conservation in terms of the preservation of values. This work adds to the field by explaining how these values can be merged with a 'value-oriented approach' in decision-making. In managerial terms, this work also refers to the international standard for risk management and explains how to apply such concepts to the context of cultural heritage. This research constructs a holistic approach and defines the cultural heritage site as a complex system. From this perspective, this study proposes multiple-criteria methods for the realization of an integrated risk assessment for cultural heritage sites, suggesting the application of a rationale behind the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) as tools for the integration of elements in risk management. In this sense, the methodology allows for links of interdependence to be established among the varying potential threats. It also provides support for decision-making in terms of the conservation of cultural heritage sites. Finally, this work concludes by indicating the benefits and challenges found in the use of multiple-criteria methods for the prioritizing of actions in risk management

description: Per il tema del primo numero, la scelta è ricaduta sul concetto di apologia, con l’intenzione di indagarne, con diversi approcci e prospettive, le possibili forme e declinazioni (di qui la scelta del plurale Apologie), nella consapevolezza che, dalla filosofia classica greca agli scritti dei Padri della Chiesa, dalle diatribe medioevali e rinascimentali fino al declino dell’Ancien Régime, dai tempi moderni fino alle produzioni scritte o ad artefatti dell’estremo contemporaneo, difendere, legittimare, giustificare significa andare alla ricerca di argomentazioni convincenti e persuasive (la persuasione degli animi è parte fondante dell’apologia) e strutturare le stesse sulla scorta delle regole della retorica classica o di nuovi dispositivi, ma anche individuare avversari ideali che finiscono per costituire una ineliminabile presenza di retroguardia; l’apologia si può infatti definire come esposizione giustificativa della verità e celebrazione, come prodotto atto a persuadere ma anche, contestualmente, come esclusione dell’errore opposto. Senza considerare che lo strumento linguistico non è l’unico possibile: un peso rilevante, in una accezione larga di apologetica e di apologia, deve essere attribuito al mezzo iconografico; basti pensare a tutti quei cicli pittorici e scultorei che, direttamente o indirettamente riferibili alla volontà di un regnante, hanno dato forma visiva e plastica al potere e a ciò che si voleva dimostrare essere il suo legittimo esercizio, senza dimenticare del resto le nuove forme iconiche (video, film) celebrative di un potere istituito o occulto. Difesa e attacco, legittimazione e delegittimazione, rappresentano un atto unico, due facce della medesima medaglia, in grado di dirci molte cose circa il modo di concepire e di rappresentare persone e poteri.

description: Résumé:

A travers une lecture suivie et l’analyse de quelques pamphlets militants écrits par Loys Le Roy pendant les guerres de religion, cette étude essaie de reconstruire la vision de cet humaniste qui se dégage de sa réflexion portant à la fois sur la religion et la politique, afin d’en souligner le caractère composite, l’allure oscillatoire et le voisinage d’idées, parfois en accord, parfois apparemment distantes ou antithétiques, qui s’emboîtent, s’in­fléchissent, cohabitent. Cette réflexion touche en effet à des sujets composites tels l’apologie étatique, la volonté d’une réforme de l’église, la concorde religieuse, l’affirmation d’un principe de paix – en tant que fondement de l’organisation politique – qui ne refuse pas pour autant le recours aux conflits, ou encore l’idée de progrès de l’humanité ou de libre arbitre et le rôle reconnu à l’esprit de l’univers (Providence, Fortune, Nature), voire à Dieu, moteur premier, bref à une série de sujets qui se saisissent les uns des autres et entrent, au fur et à mesure de l’argumentation, dans des rapports changeants d’accord ou d’antithèse.

Abstract:

By analyzing some politically committed pamphlets written by Loys Le Roy during the wars of religion (1562-1598), the aim of this article is to reconstruct the points of view of this humanist which emerge from his reflection on both religion and politics, in order to emphasize his composite ideas and his oscillatory way of thinking whereby ideas fit, inflect, coexist. Le Roy’s pamphlets discuss crucial issues such as state apology, the wish to reform the church, the defence of monarchy, religious concord, the defence of peace (even if Le Roy does not object to the use of violence), free will and the unquestionable power of God. In Le Roy’s writings, these issues inform each other appearing at times coherent and other times in contradiction with each other.

Year: 2014
Subjects: Cesare Baronio; Primato di Roma; Storiografia Ecclesiastica - XVI secolo; Primacy of Rome; Ecclesiastical Historiography - 16th Century

description: Abstract:
Cesare Baronio (Sora 1538 - Roma 1607), sacerdote oratoriano e dal 1596 cardinale, fu impegnato in diversi progetti promossi dalla Curia romana per definire il patrimonio dottrinale e liturgico della Chiesa cattolica. I suoi principali lavori restano le Notationes al Martyrologium Romanum edite per la prima volta nel 1586 ed esito di un articolato processo di revisione dei testi liturgici che impegnò la Chiesa postridentina, e gli Annales Ecclesiastici che, pubblicati in 12 volumi tra il 1588 ed il 1607, rappresentarono la risposta ufficiale di parte cattolica alle protestanti Centurie di Magdeburgo. Ciò che nel complesso emerge dalla produzione del Baronio è una strenua difesa della Chiesa di Roma, rappresentata nello svolgersi della sua storia come sempre fedele all’originario messaggio evangelico e al patrimonio dottrinale stabilitosi nei primi secoli. Al tempo stesso, Baronio tracciava un racconto storico in cui la Chiesa, costantemente impegnata nella difesa dell’ortodossia, era descritta come sempre vittoriosa nel confronto sia con le diverse dottrine eretiche, sia con i poteri temporali che, contagiati dalle stesse eresie, le erano stati avversi.
Abstract:
The Oratorian priest – later cardinal – Cesare Baronio (Sora 1538 - Rome 1607), was extensively involved in several projects promoted by the Roman Curia, after the closure of the Council of Trent, to define Catholic doctrine and liturgy, as well as to outline the history of the Church in polemical response to the Protestant Magdeburg Centuries. His major works are the Notationes to the Martyrologium Romanum (first published in Rome in 1586) and the Annales ecclesiastici (12 vols., Rome 1588-1607), in which he set out the history of the Church from the birth of Christ down to AD 1198. What emerges is a Roman Church portrayed as ‘ever the same’ down through the centuries and completely respectful of doctrines and rites established in the Apostolic age. Baronio also outlined a history where the Chuch was the protagonist, showing it as having been victorious not only against heresies, but also against rulers who were far from orthodox or who were even openly hostile towards the Church.

Il lavoro intende offrire un quadro sintetico del conflitto che nel tardo Cinquecento esplose tra la Compagnia di Gesù e l’ordine domenicano, la cosiddetta controversia de auxiliis divinae gratiae, dal punto di vista delle strategie che tre gesuiti chiave adottarono per difendere il loro ordine dalle accuse di ‘eresia’ scagliate dai domenicani: Francisco Suárez, teologo spagnolo di eccelsa fama che sposò le tesi di Luis de Molina e che fu oggetto lui stesso di violenti attacchi da parte dei domenicani e dell’Inquisizione di Castiglia; Roberto Bellarmino, cardinale e parte del più stretto entourage di Clemente VIII Aldobrandini, che scelse una strategia di contrattacco e di delegittimazione dell’avversario; Claudio Acquaviva, generale dell’ordine, che improntò la difesa del suo ordine alla fermezza mista alla continua ricerca della concordia interna e dell’uniformità dal punto di vista della produzione e dell’insegnamento teologico.
Abstract:
The work aims to provide an overview of the conflict that erupted in the late Sixteenth century between the Society of Jesus and the Dominican Order, the so-called de auxiliis divinae gratiae controversy, from the point of view of the strategies that three key Jesuits of the time adopted to defend their order by the accusations of ‘heresy’ hurled by the Dominicans. Francisco Suárez, Spanish theologian of excellent reputation, who married the thesis of Luis de Molina, he himself object of violent attacks by the Dominicans and the Castilian Inquisition; Robert Bellarmine, Cardinal and part of the closest entourage of pope Clement VIII Aldobrandini, who chose a strategy of counterattack and delegitimization of the opponent; Claudio Acquaviva, Superior General of the Order, whose apology of the order was characterized by a mixture of firmness and the continuous search for internal harmony and uniformity in terms of theological investigation and teaching.

description: Resumen:
El poder compartido entre obispos y cabildos sobre las catedrales, condujo a la necesidad por parte de los primeros de hacerse visibles en ellas. En este sentido, la promoción de las artes se convirtió en un excelente medio para materializar el poder episcopal. Los regalos de piezas del ajuar del altar y ornamentos sagrados fueron los más frecuentes. Asimismo, determinados prelados llevaron a cabo programas completos de ornamentación de capillas y costearon la ejecución de ricos relicarios, pinturas y esculturas con las que consolidar determinadas devociones en el templo mayor. A través de estas obras su memoria quedó unida a la historia de la catedral, consiguiendo demostrar su hegemonía sobre el poder capitular.

Abstract:
The power of the cathedral shared between bishops and the incumbents of the church led to the bishops to have the necessity of getting more attention as regards the cathedral. That is why the promotion of art became an excellent way to materialize the power of bishops. Presents as the parish liturgical objects and the sacred vestments were very frequent. As well as this, several prelates carried out some complete programs of ornamentation in chapels and they covered the execution of reliquaries, painting and sculptures, strengthening with them some devotions at the Major Temple. Through these works, the bishops´ role remained really close to the history of the cathedral, showing their hegemony over the chapter power.

Letteratura parascolastica e nazionalismo nella Prima Repubblica

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi RomaTre
Year: 2014
Subjects: Olavo Bilac; Coelho Neto; Conte di Afonso Celso; A Pátria Brasileira, Porque Me Ufano do Meu País; Earl of Afonso Celso

description: Abstract:
Nei primi decenni repubblicani la letteratura parascolastica ha svolto, come raccomandava José Veríssimo, l’importante funzione di contribuire all’«integrazione dello spirito nazionale». Ma oltre a combattere il «campanilismo» delle diverse regioni del paese, i libri scolastici si proponevano di fronteggiare il «pericolo straniero» rappresentato dall’immigrazione incontrollata e dall’imperialismo economico e militare. Una breve analisi dei Contos pátrios (1894) e A Pátria brasileira (1909), scritti a quattro mani da Olavo Bilac e Coelho Neto, e di Porque me ufano do meu país (1901), del conte de Afonso Celso, rivela alcuni strumenti utilizzati dagli autori per suscitare il sentimento di fratellanza, di solidarietà e di vincolo collettivo fra i bambini brasiliani, scongiurando le minacce che sovrastavano il paese. Si evidenzia anche come l’interpretazione del passato nazionale, dal quale provenivano eroi, martiri e leader che dovevano essere venerati e imitati dai bambini, contrapponesse radicalmente il monarchico Afonso Celso e i repubblicani Bilac e Coelho Neto.

Abstract:
In the early decades of Brazilian Republic, didactic literature played an important role in contributing to the «spirit of national integration», as José Veríssimo recommended. But, in addition to fighting the «parochialism» of different regions of the vast country, didactic literary works intended to combat the «foreign threat» represented by uncontrolled immigration and the economic and military imperialism. Brief analysis of Contos Pátrios (1894) and A Pátria Brasileira (1909), written by Olavo Bilac and Coelho Neto, and Porque Me Ufano do Meu País (1901), by earl of Afonso Celso, aims to reveal some of the resources used by the authors to elicit the feeling of brotherhood, solidarity and collective bond among Brazilian children, driving away threats that hung over the country. It also indicates that the interpretation of the national past, from which came the heroes, martyrs and leaders to be worshiped and imitated by children, radically opposed the monarchist Afonso Celso and the republicans Bilac and Coelho Neto.

Subjects: subject: Diet

description: Previous research has suggested possible associations between dietary fat intake, obesity and sleep. In a mHypoE-37 neuron cell culture model, saturated fat was found to disrupt regulation of the Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK) gene (implicated in circadian rhythms) but the addition of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) attenuated this disruption. DHA supplementation in children has yielded positive sleep outcomes, but there is a paucity of such data in adults. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to determine the relationship between total dietary fat, omega-3 fatty acids, and DHA intake with sleep quality among healthy adults. Data were from an observational study, aimed to phenotype healthy adults, conducted at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (Bethesda, MD). Adults (n=226) completed 7 day food records to determine dietary intake of total fat and long chain fatty acids. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) assessed overall sleep quality as well as seven subcomponents: (1) subjective sleep quality, (2) sleep latency, (3) sleep duration, (4) habitual sleep efficiency, (5) sleep disturbances, (6) use of sleeping medication, and (7) daytime dysfunction. Medication, demographics and anthropometric measurements were obtained from medical records. Univariate regression analyses explored predictors of total PSQI score and its subcomponents. Medication use, Body Mass Index (BMI) and sex were consistently related to sleep quality. Adjusting for these covariates, percent energy from fat, omega-3 (g/1000 g) intake, and DHA (g/1000 g) intake were not significant predictors of overall sleep quality. However, when examining PSQI subcomponent scores in adjusted analyses, omega-3 intake was a statistically significant predictor of sleep latency (Adj. R2=0.050, β=-0.340, p=0.042). While total omega-3 intake was not associated with overall sleep quality, this thesis suggests the potential role for omega-3 in shortening sleep latency. As short sleep is associated with chronic illness and weight gain, nutritional interventions aimed at increasing sleep duration may lead to improvements in overall health. Thus, further investigation examining the association between omega-3 fatty acid and sleep quality is warranted.

description: In the lead-up to and during the American-led intervention in Iraq this year, the Putin administration had several goals: - To work in partnership with other nations, especially France and Germany, to prevent the United States from acting unilaterally, to create a "multipolar" world in order to prevent American intervention in the first place, and (when this tailed) to prevent the United States (along with the United Kingdom) from determining Iraq's future without U.N. Security Council approval. - To work in partnership with the United States, especially in the wake of 9/11, against terrorism and in pursuit of common security, and economic goals. - To finally cash in on the contracts that Russian oil firms and other enterprises had signed with the Saddam Hussein regime (and as many as possible of those that were initialed or just discussed) after it was ousted and U.N. Security Council sanctions were lifted. - To preserve the contracts Russia had gained under the U.N. Security Council's oil-for-food program in post-Saddam Iraq. - To finally collect the $8 billion in Saddamera Iraqi debt owed to Moscow. - To prevent events in Iraq from damaging Russia economically and from hurting the Putin administration politically. Some of these goals contradict each other. In this paper. I will examine two questions: To what extent did Russia achieve each of these goals (and to what extent does it seem likely to)? And how successfully did Russia resolve the contradictions among these goals?

description: Die vorliegende Studie hat zum Ziel, ein umfassendes Bild der Resilienz in der Industrie zu zeichnen. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass Resilienz ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg in der industriellen Produktion ist und neben den klassischen Zielgrößen wie Kosten verstärkt in den Fokus rücken sollte. Dies ist insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund zunehmender Unsicherheiten und Störungen in globalen Lieferketten und Produktionsprozessen von großer Bedeutung. Die Studie ist das Ergebnis einer Kooperation zwischen dem Institut für Produktionsmanagement, Technologie und Werkzeugmaschinen (PTW) der Technischen Universität Darmstadt und dem Beratungsunternehmen Staufen AG. Die Studie ist Teil des Forschungsprojekts Flex4Res.

description: Resumo:
O presente artigo faz parte de uma tradição recente de pesquisas que investigam a avaliação como recurso interpessoal no discurso em contextos dos mais variados. Compõe basicamente uma análise sobre os artifícios avaliativo-discursivos que asseguram a autoridade científica a partir do mapeamento dos elementos de engajamento e gradação capazes de articular a identidade do resenhista em resenhas acadêmicas da área de Linguística. Nesse sentido, o que se investiga são os recursos linguísticos pelos quais o resenhista adota uma postura no sentido de valorizar ou não posições que estão sendo referenciadas no texto e de escalonar, conforme seus propósitos, a intensidade e/ou precisão de seus pareceres. O que se observa é como a avaliatividade nesse gênero pode ser resultado de uma relação cinética de uma estrutura ainda maior em que estão contextualizadas as diversas ciências sociais em geral.

Graffiti na novela Cheias de Charme: um discurso ‘colorido’ da poiesis existencialista
Creators: name: Lins, José R. F.
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi RomaTre
Year: 2014

description: Resumo:
O presente artigo objetiva analisar de que forma a grafitagem na novela Cheias de Charme (Rede Globo, 2012) representa a condição de existência de um grupo subalternizado numa favela do Rio de Janeiro. Numa perspectiva mais ampla, de que forma o graffiti revela a condição humana de classes desprivilegiadas nos grandes centros urbanos. Para isso, escolheu-se uma cena que foca o graffiti realizado numa instituição privada da sociedade capitalista. A discussão fundamenta-se nos conceitos de absurdo (Camus, 2008), cultura (Lèvy, 2001), e existencialismo (Kierkegaard, 2001; Arendt, 1997). Discutem-se os valores estéticos, éticos e políticos que constituem a identidade social na pós-modernidade.

Abstract:
This article aims to analyze how the graffiti on the Brazilian soap opera Cheias de Charme (Rede Globo, 2012) represents the condition of existence of a group of young artists in a slum in Rio de Janeiro. From a broader perspective, it shows how the graffiti reveals the human condition of subaltern classes in large urban centers. We chose a scene that focuses on graffiti held at a private institution of our capitalist society. The discussion is based on the concepts of absurdity (CAMUS, 2008), culture (Levy, 2001) and existentialism (Kierkegaard, 2001, Arendt 1997). It discusses the aesthetic, ethical and political issues that constitute the social identity in a postmodern world.

Entre Política e Religião: Diferenciação Funcional e Laicidade Seletiva no Brasil
Creators: name: Zaidan De Carvalho, Alexandre Douglas
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi RomaTre
Year: 2014

description: Resumo:
O artigo trata da relação entre religião e política na definição de comportamentos políticos em debate na esfera pública institucional brasileira, procurando mostrar como o tema da secularização do Estado pode ser trabalhado sob a perspectiva da diferenciação funcional, tal qual utilizada na teoria social de Niklas Luhmann. Na busca de uma compreensão sistêmica da comunicação religiosa e de sua complexa aliança com a moral socialmente difundida, levantar-se-á a hipótese da reprodução de uma seletividade dos discursos sobre o secularismo no Brasil, que, longe de garantir a equidistância estatal em relação às diversas crenças, possibilita uma ocupação privilegiada do espaço público por determinados grupos religiosos na pauta discursiva sobre diversas políticas públicas.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the relationship between religion and politics in the definition of political behavior in institutional public sphere in Brazil, trying to show how the theme of secularization of the state can be worked from the perspective of functional differentiation, conceptual categories used in Niklas Luhmann’s social theory. In search of a systemic understanding of religious communication and its alliance with the complex moral socially pervasive, it will raise the chance of playing a selectivity of discourses on secularism in Brazil, which, far from guaranteeing the impartiality state in relation the diverse beliefs, enables a privileged occupation of public space by certain religious groups in discursive agenda on various public policies.

Subjects: subject: Ceasefire
subject: Mediation
subject: Peace Agreement
subject: Peace Processes: Strategies

description: The Public International Law & Policy Group’s (PILPG) Ceasefire Drafter’s Handbook is a guide intended to effectively supplement the activities of negotiators and drafters of ceasefire agreements. This Handbook draws from PILPG’s experience in ceasefire negotiations, as well as state practice and comparative analysis of over 200 ceasefire agreements from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. This Handbook includes an Introduction to Ceasefires and an Annotated Ceasefire Template. The Introduction to Ceasefires provides information on the core elements of ceasefires, the effects of asymmetry on ceasefire agreements, the role of third parties, and the legality of ceasefire agreements. The Annotated Ceasefire Template describes core provisions and provides sample language for drafters to incorporate into ceasefire agreements. Although each template section offers drafters a guiding framework, it may be necessary to reshape the provisions to address the nuances of each situation.
