Full textAbstract:
Doutoramento em Biologia - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaWe analyzed the phylogeny and phylogeography of the subgenus Narcissus L. (Amarilidaceae) through molecular genetics. Six chloroplastic fragments were sequenced: trnL-F, matk, two non-overlapping fragments of nadhf, rbcl, and rps16, and two nuclear fragments: partial ribosomal DNA and a Dead/deah box RNA helicase. We studied 121 populations of Narcissus, representing 55 taxa, collected in Portugal, Spain, Morocco and Andorra. The sequences were analyzed using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and bayesian inference. The results were compared with previous taxonomical proposals. This analysis indicated that many of the species proposed in the literature are not valid and that the subgenus Narcissus suffered an intense taxonomic inflation as result of the overemphasis of small morphological differences. In other cases, the results validated some taxa as true species. Our data also indicate the hybrid origin of some taxa and, in some cases, permitted the identification of the putative ancestral species. The analysis of chloroplastic DNA sequences through a haplotype network indicated that most of the lineages were differentiated in Southern Iberia and thereafter migrated north or east. We also analyzed the floral morphology of the sections Juncifolii and Jonquillae, and discussed the identification problems

Full textAbstract:
For over a century, the enigmatic nature of narcissism has been the source of debate across psychological, sociological, and developmental domains. Although much has been written in recent years about narcissism as a generational phenomenon, referencing data collected from university undergraduates, there is little to no applied research and discussion into the implications for teaching and learning with respect to the reciprocal interactions between narcissistic students and traditional undergraduate education. Recognizing this paucity in the literature, the manuscripts within this dissertation draw theoretical and empirical connections between narcissism and learning, highlighting significant relationships between narcissism as a dispositional construct and achievement goal orientation. Through the development of a theoretical Triarchic Model of Dispositional Narcissism and the empirical exploration of its viability, this dissertation is written in accordance with sentiments that suggest educational psychologists seek to improve learning through a more comprehensive recognition of the variables that contribute to cognitive processes. The theoretical design, research, and interpretations within this dissertation seek to provide a heuristic through which educators may develop proactive, interventive instructional models and pedagogies that will encourage all students to improve their learning by engaging in strategies that lead to deeper cognitive and metacognitive processing.Ph.

Galanthamine is one of only a few drugs that is licenced for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is manufactured through an inefficient synthetic process or extracted from members of the Amaryllidaceae plant family. In this work a range of structurally related alkaloids was semisynthesised from galanthamine and used as standards to assist with the search for alkaloids that may make a good starting point in the semisynthesis of galanthamine. The search was targeted on the effluent from the production line of Alzeim Ltd., a company that extracted galanthamine from members of the Narcissus genus. In addition to the above there was an examination of specific areas of galanthamine chemistry; focusing on the application of synthetic methodologies to open new chemical space. By far the most successful of these was the use of galanthamine in a urea-mediated intramolecular aryl migration. A rare example of lithiation chemistry being applied to a natural product and also the most complicated structure to date on which the intramolecular aryl migration has been performed.

Duguid, Scott. "Narcissus revisited : Norman Mailer and the twentieth century avant-garde." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/22981.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the American novelist Norman Mailer’s relationship to the 20th century avant-garde. Mailer is often remembered as a pioneer in the new documentary modes of subjective non-fiction of the sixties. Looking beyond the decade’s themes of fact and fiction, this thesis opens up Mailer’s aesthetics in general to other areas of historical and theoretical enquiry, primarily art history and psychoanalysis. In doing so, it argues that Mailer’s work represents a thoroughgoing aesthetic and political response to modernism in the arts, a response that in turn fuels a critical opposition to postmodern aesthetics. Two key ideas are explored here. The first is narcissism. In the sixties, Mailer was an avatar of what Christopher Lasch called the “culture of narcissism”. The self-advertising non-fiction was related to an emerging postmodern self-consciousness in the novel. Yet the myth of Narcissus has a longer history in the story of modernist aesthetics. Starting with the concept’s early articulation by Freudian psychoanalysis, this thesis argues that narcissism was for Mailer central to human subjectivity in the 20th century. It was also a defining trait of technological modernity in the wake of the atom bomb and the Holocaust. Mailer, then, wasn’t just concerned with the aesthetics of narcissism: he was also deeply concerned with its ethics. Its logic is key to almost every major theme of his work: technology, war, fascist charisma, sexuality, masculinity, criminality, politics, art, media and fame. This thesis will also examine how narcissism was related for Mailer to themes of trauma, violence, facing and recognition. The second idea that informs this thesis is the theoretical question of “the real”. A later generation of postmodernists thought that Mailer’s initially radical work was excessively grounded in documentary and traditional literary realism. Yet while the question of realism was central for Mailer, he approached this question from a modernist standpoint. He identified with the modernist perspectivism of Picasso and his eclectic “attacks on reality”, and brought this modernist humanism to a critical analysis of postmodernism. The postwar (and ongoing) debates about postmodern and realism in the novel connect in Mailer, I argue, to what Hal Foster calls the “return of the real” in the 20th century avant-garde. This thesis also links Mailer to psychoanalytical views on trauma and violence; anti-idealist philosophy in Bataille and Adorno; and later postmodern art historical engagements with realism and simulation. Mailer’s view was that a hunger for the real was an effect of a desensitising (post)modernity. While the key decade is the sixties, the study begins in 1948 with Mailer’s first novel The Naked and the Dead, and ends at the height of the postmodern eighties. Drawing on a range of postmodern theory, this thesis argues that Mailer’s fiction sought to confront postmodern reality without ceding to the absurdity of the postmodern novel. The thesis also traces Mailer’s relationship to a range of contemporary art and visual culture, including Pop Art (and Warhol in particular), and avant-garde and postmodern cinema. This study also draws on a broad range of psychoanalytical, feminist and cultural theory to explore Mailer’s often troubled relationship to narcissism, masculinity and sexuality. The thesis engages a complex history of feminist perspectives on Mailer, and argues that while feminist critique remains necessary for a reading of his work, it is not sufficient to account for his restless exploration of masculinity as a subject. In chapter 7, the thesis also discusses Mailer’s much-criticised romantic fascination with black culture in the context of postcolonial politics.

Manny, Iarfhlaith. "Looking with Narcissus : Oscar Wilde's reception of the dying god." Thesis, Open University, 2018. http://oro.open.ac.uk/55709/.
Full textAbstract:
‘It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors,’ writes Oscar Wilde in his ‘Preface’ to the 1891 book edition of his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. By transferring agency away from the originator to the recipient, Wilde’s aphorism could be considered a late nineteenth-century version of reception theory, which has sought to challenge conventional critical ideas of influence or tradition in classical studies in recent decades. The Introduction to this thesis relates the classically educated Wilde’s epigram, which supposedly originated with his Trinity College Dublin tutor, John Pentland Mahaffy, to the dissolution of authority both inside and outside Classics during the second half of the nineteenth century. Chapter 1 explores the broadly similar critical sentiments in Wilde’s press correspondence and his defence of his writings in his 1895 libel action against the Marquess of Queensberry. Wilde’s inverted ideas of reading, I argue, are informed by the plays of Euripides and Aristophanes. Chapters 2 and 3 turn Wilde’s inverted ideas of reading on their head. Chapter 2 argues that Wilde’s use of the Orpheus story in Ovid’s Metamorphoses is revealing about not only Dorian Gray’s but also his author’s troubled relations with both sexes. Chapter 3 shows how Wilde uses Aeschylus’ Agamemnon in his fairy tales and plays to represent unhappy heterosexual relations in contradistinction to a positively portrayed Platonic pedagogical pederasty—a juxtaposition that is reflected in Wilde’s life as well as his work. Chapter 4 reverts to Wilde’s idea that artistic meaning is in the eye of the beholder. The religious relativism and oscillation between literary sources in Wilde’s drama Salomé, which is viewed as an example of ‘Alexandrian’ Euripideanism, contribute to an atmosphere of narcissistic subjectivism and projectionism that meet with the full condemnation of official authority.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I analyse three of my own texts included in an unpublished collection entitled till Narcissus' minne. Genres are discussed and a detailed study of how the writing process has progressed is done. The essay does not follow any specific literary or scholarly method of analysis, but to some extent the sphere of interpretation is explored. By associative interpretation the special logic of dreaming, the activity of the unconsciousness and the expansive accessibility of the memories, which characterize the texts, is traced. These structural features open a link to the way of psychoanalytical interpretation, but the essay does not strive for a complete account. It aims at capturing some kind of horizon of understanding, which might illuminate the contents of the texts and the development of the individual writing process

Full textAbstract:
Narcissus latent virus (NLV) and Madura mosaic virus (MacMV) are serologically related. However, they have poor serological relationships with other plant viruses with which they have shared characteristics. Coat protein size, particle shape and structure, mode of vector transmission, cytology and serology proved insufficient to classify them. Molecular techniques were employed in order to create tools for the rapid and accurate classification of plant viruses. A carlavirus-specific PCR primer test failed to amplify NLV or MacMV but confirmed that several other viruses belonged to the carlavirus genus. The nucleotide sequences of part of the nuclear inclusion body (NIb) gene, the complete coat protein gene and the 3' untranslated regions of narcissus latent virus (NLV) and Madura mosaic virus (MacMV) were determined. Deduced amino acid sequences for the Nib and coat protein genes revealed that NLV and MacMV are closely related. Comparison of the NIb sequences with other viruses showed that NLV and MacMV have closer affinities with viruses of the Potyviridae than to those of the carlavirus genus with which they were initially classified. It is proposed that NLV and MacMV may form a new genus within the Potyviridae, the Macluraviruses. The viruses associated with narcissus yellow stripe disease were re-evaluated. In order to identify further members for the new genus a second PCR primer was designed to amplify a region shared by the bymoviruses and macluraviruses. Sequence data obtained for the 3'-terminal region of rice necrosis mosaic virus (RNMV) using a fragment amplified by this primer confirmed that RNMV was a member of the bymovirus genus. MacMV and barley mild mosaic bymovirus replicase sequences were used to transform tobacco plants in an attempt to create transgenic resistance.

Full textAbstract:
The last few decades have seen a growing body of research on narcissism, however few studies have examined the relationship between subclinical narcissism and future orientation. The proposed study will examine how grandiose and vulnerable types of narcissism influence future orientation, and whether anxiety, depression, impulsivity and sense of control play mediating roles in this relationship. It is also hypothesized that anxiety will play a mediating role between future orientation and vulnerable narcissism, but not between grandiose narcissism and future orientation. Finally, it is hypothesized that grandiose and vulnerable narcissism will be correlated within individuals. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will be used to test the hypotheses, and the a priori model is expected to have a good fit to the data. This study will further our understanding about how narcissists view their futures, and whether this is influenced by mediating factors.

Full textAbstract:
Echo and Narcissus is one of the most famous myths in Western culture. This thesis explores the personal and archetypal significance of the character Echo. Topics addressed are early childhood trauma, affect regulation, borderline personality disorder, the relationship between self and other, and the theory of dialectics. Texts are examined from psychoanalysis, analytical psychology, existential philosophy, interpersonal neurobiology, and behavioral psychology. Using a hermeneutic approach to compare these texts, this paper tracks the archetypal dynamic of Echo and Narcissus over time and across a variety of disciplines. By looking for traces of Echo and Narcissus in multiple contexts, this thesis offers a fresh take on a familiar story.

Full textAbstract:
De l’homme prométhéen à l’homme narcissique, il n’y a qu’un pas: la technologie. Beaucoup de choses changent chaque fois qu’une nouvelle technologie entre dans nos vies.Cette thèse s’efforce de comprendre comment les membres d’une société donnée (en l’occurrence la Grèce) appréhendent le média technologique de notre époque, sur un plan pratique et théorique, et comment ils sont ensuite influencés, voire transformés par la manière dont ils l’utilisent. Grâce à une enquête qualitative menée d’abord sous forme de questionnaire, nous avons tenté de déterminer comment ils utilisent ces médias pour répondre aux besoins fondamentaux de leur vie sociale tels que l’information et la communication, de quelle façon ils l’utilisent et pourquoi et comment ce dernier les impacte.De par sa nature même, internet est le média qui oblige l’homme à s’étendre au-delà de ses propres limites corporelles, projetant, pour ainsi dire, son système nerveux central sur le média. En plus, Facebook donne l’occasion à chaque utilisateur de projeter un profil créé par lui-même et d’exister à travers ce monde qui est le sien.L’Homme qui regarde l’écran numérique est une version contemporaine de Narcisse. Une fois de plus, il s’étend avec détermination, se mutile et se conforme à la nouvelle perception sensorielle. L'ordinateur connecté à Internet est le média technologique par excellence dont l'utilisation provoque ces changements. La présente recherche se flatte d’avoir contribué, à son modeste niveau, à la sociologie de nos contemporains confrontés à l’ère numériqueFrom the promethean man to Narcissus there is only a small step: technology. A lot of things change every time a new technology enters our lives.This thesis attempts to comprehend the way the new Greek generation makes use of the new cyber technology and how modern Greek people are influenced as well as transformed by this use. By means of a qualitative survey in the form of questionnaires administered to young people we attempted to explore how they use these media to satisfy basic needs of their social life such as information and communication, how they perceive their relation with the media and how they are influenced by them.By nature, internet is the medium which helps the individual to overcome his corporal limits extending parts of his nervous system to the medium. Moreover, Facebook gives the opportunity to each one of its users to project a profile created by himself and live within it. The user who watches the screen appears to be a contemporary version of Narcissus once again complying with new sensory perceptions. The computer connected to the internet is the major medium that causes these modifications.That’s what Prometheus did. His invention gave birth to a new human era. What becomes the principal objective in our day and age is without any doubt to move from the condition of pathetic Narcissus to the condition of the artful navigator in the virtual ocean. The present research has hopefully contributed to some extent to the social research related to the contemporary virtual era

Full textAbstract:
The myth, Echo and Narcissus, is retold in a modern context in my play Jinx Infinity.
The accompanying exegesis examines the techniques I employed in writing this piece with reference also to two other plays I have written from myth. This exploration seeks to determine the fine balance between focusing or relying on the myth and the actuality of writing a dramatic text to be performed on stage by actors in front of a live audience. I was able to divide the results from the examination of my writing process into a ten-step guideline or template. The question of balance is addressed throughout the guidelines but becomes particularly vital in the final step, when the playwright is advised to forget the myth in order to ensure the established principles of playwriting are adhered to. If these principals are present and the essence of the ancient myth is inherent, then the final product should be a successful play containing a universal theme that will translate through the ages.

Full textAbstract:
La familia Amaryllidaceae es conocida por presentar un grupo específico de alcaloides isoquinolínicos, que suelen mostrar un amplio espectro de actividades biológicas. Tres especies del género Hippeastrum, nativo de Brasil, fueron seleccionadas para el estudio en la presente tesis: H. papilio, H. aulicum y H. calyptratum. A su vez, la especie africana Narcissus broussonetii fue elegida para completar el estudio de dicho género, investigación que el grupo de Productos Naturales de esta Universidad viene realizando desde inicio de los años 80.
Hippeastrum papilio sintetiza el alcaloide galantamina en cantidades notables además del nuevo compuesto 11beta-hidroxigalantamina. Dicho compuesto es similar al conocido alcaloide habrantina. Utilizando técnicas de RMN se pudo caracterizar correctamente la orientación beta del hidroxilo en el compuesto hallado en H. papilio y, a su vez, se ha confirmado que habrantina es, concretamente, la 11alfa-hidroxigalantamina. Además, 11 beta-hidroxigalantamina presentó una notable actividad inhibidora del enzima aceticolinesterasa (IC50 14.5 ± 0.33 milimicras), aunque inferior a galantamina (1.18 ± 0.07 milimicras). Un total de siete compuestos fueron identificados en esta especie.
De Narcissus broussonetii se identificaron 23 compuestos. Se reporta por vez primera los compuestos dinitrogenados obliquina, plicamina y secoplicamina en el género Narcissus. Por tratarse de bases que presentan dos átomos de nitrógeno en su estructura, se planteó estudiar su fragmentación de masas por HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Se ha demostrado que obliquina y plicamina presentan una manera similar de fragmentarse, diferente a secoplicamina. Mediante derivatización y GC-MS se ha confirmado no solo que tazetina es un artefacto originado en el proceso de extracción a partir del compuesto natural pretazetina, sino que tazetina, como tal, no está presente en la planta. Además se reporta la fragmentación de masas de dichos alcaloides derivatizados a través de técnica de GC-MS/MS.
Para finalizar, se identificaron 23 alcaloides de Hippeastrum aulicum y H. calyptratum, siendo 13 de ellos compartidos en ambas especies. Se ha identificado por vez primera el esqueleto tipo crinina en el género Hippeastrum a través de la caracterización completa de los alcaloides aulicina y 3-O-metil-epimacowina utilizando técnicas de CD y difractometría de rayos-X, dato de valor quimiotaxonómico. Además se reportan por vez primera los aislamientos de las bases 7-metoxi-O-metillicorenina y 11-oxohemantamina, aparte de completarse los datos espectroscópicos de los alcaloides nerinina y albomaculina.Plants of the Amaryllidaceae family are a well-known source of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids. These bases have demonstrated a wide-range of biological activities including antiviral, antitumoral, antiparasitic, psychopharmacological, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory, among others. The Brazilian species Hippeastrum papilio, H. aulicum and H. calyptratum along with the African species Narcissus broussonetii were studied in the present Thesis. From H. papilio, an epimer of the previous isolated alkaloid habranthine, 11alpha-hydroxygalanthamine, were isolated and identified using NMR techniques. Furthermore, the 11beta-hydroxygalanthamine showed an important in vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC50 14.5 ± 0.33 miliM). Additionally, Hippeastrum papilio yielded substantial quantities of galanthamine. Applying the GC-MS technique and an in-home mass fragmentation database, twenty-three alkaloids were identified including the very rare dinitrogenous alkaloids obliquine, plicamine and secoplicamine were identified in Narcissus broussonetii. Using LC-ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS, these dinitrogenous compounds showed a similar fragmentation profile for obliquine and plicamine but different for secoplicamine. Pretazettine, a potent cytotoxic alkaloid, was also isolated from N. broussonetii although its identification by GC-MS was only possible by a BSTFA-derivatization. The silylated crude methanolic extract only showed the presence of pretazettine-TMS, confirming that tazettine is formed after the alkaloid extraction. As a part of ongoing project in MS of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, the silylated tazettine and pretazettine were studied by GC-MS/MS differing in their fragmentation routes. Finally, the EtOAc extract of N. broussonetii showed a notable in vitro activity against Trypanosoma cruzi with an IC50 value of 1.77 µg/ml. Regarding Hippeastrum aulicum and H. calyptratum, the phytochemical procedure guided by GC-MS allowed the identification of two crinine-type alkaloids aulicine and 3-O-methyl-epimacowine, respectively. In addition, a further two new alkaloids 11-oxohaemanthamine (3) and 7-methoxy-O-methyllycorenine (4) were both isolated from H. aulicum. Furthermore, complete NMR spectroscopic data are provided for the homolycorine analogues nerinine (5) and albomaculine (6). Absolute stereochemistry of the 5,10b-ethano bridge in the crinine variants was arrived at by circular dichroism and X-ray crystallographic analysis, affording the first direct evidence for the presence of crinine-type alkaloids in the genus Hippeastrum.

Full textAbstract:
Gosse’s reputation, both during his lifetime and thereafter, was compromised by his propensity for error, a trait that Henry James famously described as ‘a genius for inaccuracy’. Though much of his biographical and critical writing justifies this criticism, my study of Gosse’s use of the device of allusion, mainly in his fictional writing, reveals a strategy of misprision that is creative and innovative. Since the concepts of Modernism and Postmodernism have changed the way in which texts are read, it is now time to re-read Gosse, and to explore the potential meaning of passages that would hitherto have been dismissed as error or exaggeration. Using Ziva Ben-Porat’s characterisation of allusion ‘as a device for the simultaneous activation of two texts’ as my methodology, I explore the complex and often subversive resonances of Gosse’s allusive practice. Allusion requires four participants: author, reader, the source text by the precursor, and the alluding text. Because a phrase does not ‘become’ an allusion until all four parties have been ‘activated’, many of Gosse’s allusions have for a long time lain dormant in the palimpsest of his writings. I argue that Gosse’s evangelical, tract-writing mother, rather than his father, exerted primary influence on him. I foreground the impact of her prohibition of fiction as the genesis for Gosse’s idiosyncratic vision, showing that its legacy was more bewildering, and ironically more creative, than has hitherto been recognised. Using the revisionary ratios of Bloom’s theory of the anxiety of influence, I establish a trajectory of charged interactions between the texts of Gosse as ephebe and those of his mother as precursor. Many hitherto puzzling and unresolved aspects of Gosse’s writing now make sense in the context of his ‘answering back’ the spectral Bowes. Although Gosse never fully extricates himself from his maternal precursor, he metaphorically orphans himself, and transfers his ephebe allegiance to a host of literary fosterfathers, constantly invoking them in his texts. He thus secures his ‘mental space’ through the covert mode of allusion, and the zenith of this practice is manifested in Father and Son. My thesis demonstrates the potential of allusion as a methodological tool in literary analysis. By his acts of re-reading, Gosse achieves the paradoxical act of simultaneously arresting and promoting a sense of cultural continuity. On the one hand, Gosse arrests tradition by fragmenting texts: by importing a phrase or a passage from a past work into his present text, he engenders textual instability in both. On the other hand, Gosse promotes cultural continuity by importing into his work fragments that serve as allusive bridges forging connections through space and time. I hope that this exploration of his practice will initiate a reassessment of Gosse’s role in relation to the allusive mode as employed by the early Modernists.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing interest of the pharmaceutical and food industry in exploiting natural products has initiated scientific studies on the so-called aromatic & medicinal plants. However, information regarding their cultivation is scarce, and as bioactive phytochemicals are highly susceptible to environmental regulation, optimization and full control of growth conditions are vital for a cost-effective, standardised and high-quality medicinal product. Thus, Salvia officinalis var purpurea and Narcissus "Ice Follies" were cultivated by means of the hydroponic Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), under various nutrient conditions i. e. nitrate (N-NO3), phosphorus (P) and various electrical conductivity (EC) regimes. Essential oils from S. officinalis and the alkaloid galanthamine from Narcissus sp. possess cholinergic activities relevant to the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to determine optimum growth conditions for enhanced plant biomass accumulation and improved yield and quality of the bioactive compounds in order to increase the efficacy of the medicinal species. In addition, anti-cholinesterase properties of S. officinalis var purpurea were investigated. At the end of each experiment plant biomass accumulation, root to shoot investment, plant height, leaf area and photosynthetic pigments were assessed together with uptake of nitrates, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Essential oils of sage and alkaloids from Narcissus were obtained via steam distillation and organic solvent extraction method respectively. Oils were subsequently analysed by means of gas chromatography mass spectroscopy, whereas high performance liquid chromatography was employed for alkaloid analysis. Cholinesterase inhibition was tested via the colorimetric Ellman's enzyme assay. S. officinalis and Narcissus species were successfully cultivated in the NFT, for the very first time. In Salvia optimum conditions for high shoot biomass production appeared to be the 150 mg/L N-N03,12 mg/L P supply and EC 1.8 mS/cm. Nitrate level marginally affected growth or ontogeny of Narcissus, however alkaloid yield was significantly augmented by N-N03 supply (180 mg/L) and exhibited much higher values in comparison with the existing literature. In contrast, Salvia essential oils revealed weak responses to N-NO3 and P nutrition in terms of yield and quality, whereas high EC levels considerably altered oil relative composition. Essential oil content was approximately 11%w hilst a report for S. officinalis raised in Britain indicated only 0.53%. Camphor and a-caryophyllene were abundant in the oil comprising ca the 10-17% and 16-23% respectively. a-Thujone contributed for 9-10%. All other constituents like apha and beta pinene, 1.8 cineole, ledol, borneol and bornyl acetate appeared with concentrations less than 4% in the oil mixture. Anti-cholinesterase activity of the essential oils was dual and remained unchanged under all growth conditions exhibiting relatively low IC50 values; approximately 0.055 to 0.07 mg/ml for human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and 0.07 mg/ml for butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzyme from horse serum that was time-dependant. Competitive type of inhibition was revealed for AChE and non-competitive for BuChE. Finally, the ethanolic extracts of S. officinalis var purpurea preferentially inhibited BuChE with IC50 significantly lower than the oil i. e. 0.054 mg/ml. The findings of this project demonstrated that NFT is an important means for successful cultivation of Salvia and Narcissus species. N-NO3, P and EC levels significantly affected growth of Salvia and EC conditions altered essential oil composition. The yield of galanthamine in bulbs and leaves of Narcissus was significantly augmented by N-NO3 supply. Therefore, standardisation of cultivation methods for medicinal species is essential to assure biochemical consistency and quality. S. officinalis var purpurea should be considered as an alternative strategy for the treatment of mild to moderate AD.

Full textAbstract:
The following thesis looks at the male initiation motif in Joseph Conrad's The Nigger of the "Narcissus," Heart of Darkness, and The Shadow-Line from the perspective of contemporary anthropology. I argue that Conrad was not only well versed in late-Victorian science, but also used anthropological data on so-called primitive races in his fiction to challenge the covert political ideologies of social Darwinism. He recognized that new developments in Darwin's theory of evolution, which propagated widespread anxiety over the cultural and biological degeneration of Western civilization at the fin de siècle, were aligned with European imperialism and contributed to the exploitation of colonial territories. To counter the scientific studies that characterized indigenous peoples such as the Australian Aborigines as inferior races that were slated for extinction, Conrad applied male initiation rites as a subversive motif in his stories. Following the pattern first described in Arnold Van Gennep's Les Rites de Passage (1908), I analyze each novella in terms of the universal tripartite structure of initiations in which a novice is separated from the known world, enters a sacred liminal zone where he undergoes inwardly transformative ordeals, and is then reincorporated into society with an increased level of self-awareness. Conrad uses male initiations as a regenerative paradigm to contrast with the spiritual emptiness of his own modern secular civilization and to suggest that storytelling can function as a potentially restorative form of discourse.La thèse suivante examine le thème de l'initiation masculine dans les romans The Nigger of the “Narcissus,” Heart of Darkness et The Shadow-Line de Joseph Conrad du point de vue de l'anthropologie contemporaine. J'avance que Conrad avait non seulement une bonne connaissance de la science de l'époque victorienne, mais qu'il a également appliqué dans sa fiction certaines données anthropologiques à des races dites primitives pour dénoncer les idéologies politiques du darwinisme social. Il a reconnu que de nouveaux développements dans la théorie darwinienne de l'évolution, qui propageaient une anxiété à l'égard de la dégénérescence culturelle et biologique de la civilisation occidentale en fin de siècle, pouvaient être interprétés parallèlement à l'impérialisme européen, et comme élément de justification de l'exploitation des territoires coloniaux. Afin de réfuter les théories de l'évolution qui catégorisaient les indigènes comme des sauvages inférieurs voués à l'extinction, Conrad a utilisé le thème des rites d'initiation masculine comme un moyen de subversion dans ses histoires. J'analyse chaque roman à travers la structure universelle tripartite des initiations qu'Arnold Van Gennep met en lumière dans Les rites de passage (1908); structure selon laquelle un novice est séparé du monde connu, entre dans une zone liminale sacrée où il subit des épreuves qui résultent en une transformation interne et est ensuite réintégré dans la société avec une plus grande conscience de soi. Conrad utilise les rites de passage comme un paradigme de régénération, en opposition avec le vide spirituel de la civilisation séculière caractéristique de l'époque, et comme moyen pour montrer que la narration peut fonctionner comme une forme de discours potentiellement rajeunissant.

Full textAbstract:
The Amaryllidaceae alkaloids e.g. galanthamine (Gal), lycorine, narciclasine and pretazettine are noted for their pharmaceutical properties. The biosynthesis of alkaloids by plants using in vitro systems has been considered as a tool for drug discovery and production since total chemical synthesis is not economic. The biosynthetic pathways, especially for Gal, are starting to be understood, but still far from complete. This study focused on understanding biosynthesis in whole plants and developing cell culture systems that could be optimised for alkaloid production. Metabolite profiling and knowledge about probable genes involved in secondary metabolism and their regulation in different tissues will provide insight into the Narcissus plant biology related to alkaloid production. In vitro cultures of N. pseudonarcissus cv. Carlton were initiated from twin-scale explants, cultured on Murashige and Skoog agar medium (MS) fortified with different concentrations of growth regulators. Callus was obtained mainly from MS medium containing high concentration of auxin, while media with low auxin and MS basal medium gave bulblets with both white and green shoots. Regenerated bulblets developed from callus developed in both high and low auxin MS media. These tissue culture derived materials and field-grown samples were analysed using GC-MS for Gal content. The highest amount of Gal was obtained from basal plate tissue followed by bulb, leaves, and in vitro tissues. A trace amount of Gal was found in callus along with possibly other alkaloids. An NMR-based metabolomic analysis showed that the relative concentrations of compounds involved in phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism, the initial stage biosynthetic pathways that yield the Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, were higher in field samples than in vitro samples. These results support the GC-MS findings of high Gal production in field samples. Initial RT-PCR analysis using gene specific transcripts possibly involved in Gal biosynthesis i.e. P450s. PAL, TYDC and OMT showed their expression in in vitro as well in field tissues, which is intriguing. A transcriptome analysis was performed comparing expression in the highest (basal plate) versus lowest (callus) Gal containing tissues. The transcriptome analysis results were in accordance with the previous findings, as it was observed that the transcripts involved in the initial biosynthetic pathways leading to precursors (tyrosine, phenylalanine) were up regulated in callus while the transcripts involved in later pathways leading to alkaloids were up regulated in basal plate.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 116-122.This thesis considers South Africa's Nederduitse Gerefonneerde Kerk (NGK) in its journey toward confessional orthodoxy and isolation which began already in the late nineteenth century and continued, through the apartheid era, well into the twentieth. The dates chosen roughly to frame this inquiry (1907 to 1962), however, drive equally toward a particular ecclesial unity. For in 1907, the NGK synods established, out of a desire to cooperate more closely, the Federal Council of Churches (FCC). In 1962 this drive toward ecclesial unity then culminated in the convening of the General Synod, where delegates from all the church's "mother" synods gathered in a single synod for the first time in one hundred years. So united, however, the NGK was, in its ecumenical affiliations, at an all-time low. What were the circumstances within which this unity-in-isolation occurred? In light of the NGK's role in sanctioning and advancing apartheid, this thesis explores Afrikaans church and missionary periodicals and church documents from these years with a view to evaluating what went wrong. More specifically, however, the inquiry is driven by an interest in the complex role of doctrine in hermeneutics and the life of the church. Indeed, this thesis views doctrine as the key to understanding the NGK's journey to isolation and apartheid and asks, how did it function - in the church's ecumenical decisions, internal church matters and even its political involvement during this period? In The Nature of Doctrine1 George Lindbeck offers a metaphor within which to conceive doctrine's role for a healthy church: doctrine is "grammar" for the primary language of Scripture. This thesis employs (with several critical divergences) Lindbeck's theory of doctrine in evaluating healthy and unhealthy dynamics within the NGK. The inquiry is broken into four chapters:1) Lindbeck and the NGK; 2) Ecumenicity and the NGK; 3) Confessional Foundations; and 4) Race Relations and the NGK.

Full textAbstract:
The Amaryllidaceae have characteristic isoquinoline alkaloids including galanthamine that is approved for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) is an industrial source of this alkaloid. This project undertook analysis of the daffodil transcriptome as an approach to understanding this alkaloid biosynthetic pathway. Material from the basal plate of var. Carlton was analysed using the Roche 454 GS FLX Titanium and Illumina HiSeq platforms to assemble reference transcripts (45324 transcripts from 454, 165065 from Illumina). Annotation was via a bespoke BLAST pipeline utilizing UniProt, TAIR, Rfam and RefSeq. Further functional annotation and enrichment studies were carried out using the DAVID platform encompassing KEGG, GO and EC annotations. Illumina HiSeq sequencing of a second variety, Andrew’s Choice, was used alongside the reference transcripts to identify SNPs and transcript level differences. A bioinformatics method to determine ploidy indicated both varieties were triploid, in agreement with microscopy results. The level of selected transcripts was also assessed using qPCR. Several transcripts putatively involved in alkaloid biosynthesis were identified. Comp75950_c0_s1 showed homology to a C4H gene from peppers and could be involve in protocatechuic acid biosynthesis in daffodils. Two transcripts, Daff106212 and Contig1404, were predicted to catalyse the synthesis of norbelladine from protocatechuic acid and tyramine, and its subsequence conversion to 4’-O-methylnorbelladine. Finally, transcripts HDA57HA0AK3FX and Daff88927 were suggested for the final step in galanthamine biosynthesis, an intermolecular phenol coupling. This is the first transcriptomic comparison of two daffodil varieties and is an important resource for further investigation into genes involved in Amaryllidaceae alkaloid biosynthesis.

Full textAbstract:
Les habitats sur le substrat de serpentine représentent un environnement hostile pour le développement des plantes. Ils sont caractérisés par un faible nombre d'espèces mais un haut niveau d'endémisme. Cette étude présente pour la première fois une série des données sur la taille du génome, du nombre chromosomique, du niveau de ploïdie, de l'affinité pour le substrat, du cycle de vie, du type et de la forme de croissance des serpentinophytes dans l'extrême nord-ouest de la zone de serpentine dans les Balkans. Les 308 taxons des plantes étudiées comprennent appartenant à 213 genres, dont la taille du génome est donnée pour la première fois pour 28 genres et 99 espèces. En utilisant les critères de Leitch, plus de la moitié des taxons (55.63%) appartiennent au groupe des très petits génomes, 22.19% aux petits, 18.75% aux moyens, 3.13% aux grands, et seulement 0.31% aux très grands génomes. Concernant l'affinité au substrat, la majorité d'espèces (171) sont indifférentes ou des serpentinophytes facultatives (103). Selon le type de cycle de vie, ~ 4% des espèces sont annuelles, 88.31% pérennes, dont 57% possèdent de très petits génomes. Les hémicryptophytes représentent une forme de vie dominante (48.38%), tandis que les phanérophytes représentent 17%, les chaméphytes 15%, les thérophyte 9% et les géophytes 9%. Il est évident que le stress hydrique, les températures élevées et la présence de métaux lourds dans les habitats sur la serpentine jouent une haute pression sélective et favorisent des espèces pérennes à très petits génomes.Le Narcissus poeticus (Amaryllidaceae), serpentinophyte facultative, est l'ancêtre des narcisses cultivés. C'est la première étude de N. poeticus et de sa rhizosphère dans les populations naturelles. Il montre une tolérance au pH du sol qui varie du 4.64 à 7.85. Les concentrations totales de nickel, de cobalt et de magnésium sont plus élevées dans les sols sur serpentine que dans ceux sur calcaires. Narcissus poeticus est caractérisé par une plus grande accumulation de manganèse, de nickel et de magnésium dans ses parties aériennes. Le cobalt, par contre, a une concentration totale uniforme dans toutes les parties de la plante. Une autre caractéristique inhabituelle de N. poeticus est son plus grand rapport molaire Ca/Mg dans les parties souterraines, probablement dû à sa forme de vie (géophytes) et une dormance estivale. Il est évident que, même si N. poeticus accumule certaines quantités de métaux lourds estimés (Mn, Ni, Co, Fe), il n'est pas pour autant un hyperaccumulateur.Une partie importante de ce travail concerne la variabilité de la structure chromosomique, la taille du génome, le niveau de ploïdie et la présence de chromosomes B dans 13 populations naturelles de N. poeticus poussant sur différents substrats géologiques et dans différentes conditions environnementales. La technique de la cytométrie en flux a été utilisée pour estimer la taille du génome, l'hybridation in situ fluorescente (FISH) pour la cartographie physique de l'ADNr, le fluorochrome banding pour l'organisation de l'hétérochromatine et la coloration au nitrate d'argent pour estimer l'activité des gènes ribosomiques. L'organisation des gènes ribosomiques et l'existence des triploïdes naturels ont été rapportés ici pour la première fois. Présence des individus portant de chromosomes B (dans 9 populations sur 13) et de translocations chromosomiques a été détectée. Un système particulier de chromosomes B présente trois différents morphotypes. Le submétacentrique type, le plus fréquent, possède quatre paternes différents dans l'organisation de l'hétérochromatine et de l'ADNr. La coloration à l'AgNO3 a montré que le nombre de nucléoles formés augmente en présence des chromosomes B portant des gènes ribosomiques, dont l'activité est ainsi prouvée. Les résultats obtenus démontrent que N. poeticus possède un génome dynamique avec la quantité d'ADN variable en raison de la présence de polyploïdie, de chromosomes B et de réarrangements chromosomiques. Il semble que les modifications observées reflètent la réponse du génome à différentes conditions environnementales où les individus portant les chromosomes B pourraient avoir des avantages sélectifs.

Full textAbstract:
L'objet de ma recherche porte sur le désir d'enseigner qui interroge le choix d'un métier et la rencontre actuelle entre l'adulte et l'enfant, soit dans l'enseignement ordinaire soit pour les enseignants spécialisés qui choisissent de se confronter aux troubles graves des apprentissages et au handicap. Il s'agit d'explorer les origines du désir pris dans le discours spontané des enseignants appuyé sur des entretiens cliniques de recherche et dans un autre registre saisir la dynamique pulsionnelle, les choix identificatoires, les processus d'idéalisation et les mouvements fantasmatiques qui peuvent se déployer à travers l'utilisation des méthodes projectives. Pris dans la « métaphore vive » du mythe de Pygmalion déconstruit par Kaës (1973) à partir du fantasme de fustigation décrit par Freud en 1919, enseigner appelle un scénario fantasmatique mobile où les emplacements et les identifications entre l'enfant et l'adulte sont permutables, réversibles dans un retournement des positions actives et passives du sujet. Le désir d'enseigner s'inscrit dans une dimension narcissique patente actualisant le sentiment de continuité d'existence et la quête d'une image de soi idéale mais dans le même temps, se joue aussi la quête de la différence, ancrée dans l'infantile et le sexuel (Chabert, 2011) convoquant inévitablement la différence des sexes et la bisexualité psychique. Enfin, dans la réciprocité du désir d'apprendre et de savoir, enseigner à l'enfant, c'est aller à la rencontre de l'Inconnu posé par Rosolato (1978) comme une relation fondamentale entre le désir et l'idéal qui interroge l'inconnu en soi, le mystère de nos origines convoquant les fantasmes originaires rattachés aux questions de la naissance, de la mort et de la scène primitive. Le Rorschach et le TAT, ces autres objets énigmatiques qui font émerger des « arrêts » sur image et l'insistance de la répétition à certaines planches, mobilisent, dévoilent des enjeux fantasmatiques dans un écho singulier avec ce qui se joue dans la rencontre entre l'adulte et l'enfant à l'âge œdipien, celui de la latence et de l'adolescenceThis research focuses on the desire to teach that motivates the choices of a career and of the mutual encounter between the adult and the child, either in an ordinary school or a special educational setting for learning difficulty or severe disability needs. It aims at exploring the origins of the desire of teachers, on the one hand, through clinical research interviews, and on the other hand, by focusing on the underlying dynamics of drives, identifications and fantasies through projective testing. Caught up in the "rule of metaphor" of the Pygmalion myth, which was revisited by Kaës (1973) based on Freud's child beating fantasy concept (1919), teaching addresses mobile fantasized scenarios where identifications between the adult and the child are intertwined and reversible, turning around active and passive positions of the subject. The desire to teach is part of an evident narcissistic domain, restoring the sense of continuity of being and of an ideal self-image. However, the quest for differentiation, rooted in infantile psychosexuality (Chabert, 2011), is also played out, inevitably summoning gender differences and psychic bisexuality. Lastly, given the reciprocity between the desire to impart and to learn, teaching a child means encountering the Unknown which Rosolato (1978) defined as the fundamental relationship between the desire and the ideal; a relationship that questions the unknown in oneself, the mystery of one's origins and evoke primal fantasies which relate to questions of birth, death and primitive scenes. Enigmatic tools, such as the Rorschach and the TAT, produce fixated images and insistent repetitions on specific cards which summon fantasies echoing those at play in the encounter between the adult and the child of oedipal, latency or adolescent age

Full textAbstract:
Il est d'usage de parler d’un « Pasolini frioulan », jouant, à notre avis, sur l'ambiguïté de cette expression selon le sens que l’on veut attribuer au terme «frioulan» : substantif, entendu comme langue, ou bien adjectif. Ou encore, les deux à la fois, puisque l'opération recherchée par Pasolini était justement de fusionner en quelque sorte ces deux valeurs en une seule réalité culturelle.En essayant de se plonger avec prudence dans l’intimité de l’auteur nous avons organisé notre travail autour de trois axes qui correspondent respectivement au frioulan, à la poétique et au théâtre. Nous avons suivi un chemin qui trace une ligne directrice de l'expérience frioulane qui commence avec Poesie a Casarsa, en passant par ledit « journal inédit » et s’achève avec le drame théâtral « I turcs tal Friul ».L'approche analytique des trois phénomènes explique comment le timp furlan de Pasolini n’est pas une exclusivité biographique ou poétique (La meglio gioventù), mais une réalité riche et complexe dans laquelle les concepts de langue, d'identité et d'autonomie sont liés au Frioul. En ce qui concerne Pasolini et son séjour au Frioul nous ne pouvons parler d’une immersion totale dans l’ « Eden » frioulan, mais plutôt d’un jeu culturel très intéressant entre italianité et « frioulanité », qui nous permet de placer où bon nous semble les frontières pasoliniennes dans l'identité frioulaneWhen approaching the so called “Pasolini friulano” [Friulian Pasolini], the specialists usually play on the ambiguity of the italian term “friulano”: Friulian as a noun, i.e. the language, or as an adjective, i.e. relating to the region? In our opinion the term covers both of them, because the intended purpose of Pasolini was precisely to merge somehow these two values into an unique cultural reality.Exploring carefully the author’s personal word more through the analysis of his literary works than his biographical data, this research focuses mainly on the Friulian language, the poetry, and the theatre. Having Poesie a Casarsa as starting point, it discusses also the so called Diario Inedito and the drama I Turcs tal Friul, with the aim to establish useful guidelines for a better understanding of the Friulian experience of Pasolini. The analytical approach of these three literary works proves that the timp furlan [friulian time] is not just a poetic or biographical fact (La meglio gioventù): it covers actually a very rich and complex reality, in which the idea of Friuli is strictly connected to the concepts of language, identity and political autonomy. During his stay in Friuli, Pasolini has not experienced a full-immersion in a Friulian Eden. Rather, he played a very interesting cultural game with the ideas of being Italian and/or Friulian. In this context, it is not possible to mark out clearly the Friulian identity of Pasolini and for this reason its boundaries can be shifted at leisure

Full textAbstract:
Les mythes grecs « font signe sans signifier, montrant, dérobant, toujours limpides disant le mystère transparent, le mystère de la transparence1 ». Maurice Blanchot dans cette remarque met en valeur le mystère inhérent à tout mythe. Il en va ainsi pour le mythe de Narcisse qui a connu un succès considérable à l’époque médiévale mais dont il n’est pas aisé de fixer un sens stable. C’est de la version du célèbre poète de l’époque augustéenne, Ovide, que les auteurs médiévaux ont hérité. La richesse de la légende, conférée par les nombreux ajouts d’Ovide, leur a permis de déployer à leur tour de nombreux sens nouveaux.Narcisse est avant tout perçu comme figure amoureuse. Narcisse est l’amant malheureux qui souffre d’une passion si forte qu’il finit par en mourir. L’objet de l’amour de Narcisse est bien souvent tu et oublié dans les reprises médiévales. Peu importe finalement qu’il ait aimé une ombre, l’accent est mis sur l’intensité de son amour et surtout sur ses funestes conséquences. La passion entraîne Narcisse sur le chemin de la mort : mort de l’esprit sous le coup de la folie et mort physique. Narcisse a été un objet de choix pour la poésie de la fin’amor. Troubadours et trouvères ont réélaboré la figure de Narcisse en parfait représentant du fin amant entre les XIIe et XIIIe siècles. Par ailleurs, la figure de Narcisse entretient des liens étroits avec les représentations du mélancolique, issues des théories psychophysiologiques sur l’amour de la philosophie et de la médecine.Le mythe a également inspiré des lectures morales. En effet, tout un pan des reprises du mythe – le pan chrétien – dévoile Narcisse sous les traits d’un pécheur entaché de défauts. L’orgueil dont il fait preuve est dans la conception chrétienne laracine de tous les maux ; ce vice engendre la vanité et l’arrogance. De la fin du XIIe au XIVe siècles, les clercs font de Narcisse l’incarnation parfaite de tous ces défauts. Selon la perspective adoptée la condamnation change légèrement mais l’idée reste lamême : Narcisse est imbu de sa propre personne et en tire une satisfaction trop haute.Enfin l’eau de la source, l’un des motifs essentiels du mythe de Narcisse, a été le point de convergence de plusieurs traditions qui ont fini par s’entremêler dans les œuvres médiévales : le motif biblique de l’eau d’un côté, de l’autre les conceptions néoplatoniciennes sur le reflet et le mythe antique de Narcisse. Un réseau d’images similaires irrigue ces traditions, constitué de l’eau claire, du reflet et de la fontaine. Le "fons" antique s’est peu à peu métamorphosé en fontaine médiévale jusqu’à devenir véritable miroir. Le motif du miroir s’autonomise peu à peu par rapport à la surface des eaux. La dimension fantasmatique de l’amour de Narcisse pour son reflet s’amplifie nettement. Se voir soi-même dans un miroir constitue une expérience étrange où l’individu touche au secret de son être. Incapable de l’atteindre réellement, il voit son intimité se dérober à lui, ce qui provoque son désenchantement. Le miroir, véritable porte d’entrée sur le rêve, est un motif idéal pour figurer tous les possibles de l’acte d’écriture. C’est pourquoi certaines reprises médiévales offrent l’utopie d’un amour partagé tandis que d’autres préfèrent peindreles travers de l’être humain. Le miroir enfin se fait métaphore de l’écriture ellemême. La présence de Narcisse se réalise sous des formes plus ou moins implicites dans ces œuvres dont la portée réflexive est actualisée par le motif du miroirGreek myths « font signe sans signifier, montrant, dérobant, toujours limpides disant le mystère transparent, le mystère de la transparence2 ». With these words, Maurice Blanchot insists on the very mystery of all myth. It is also the case for the myth of the Narcissus that has known a considerable success in the medieval time but for which it is difficult to … a stable meaning. It is the famous Augustinian poet Ovidius myth that the medieval authors inherited. They added new meanings to the already rich legend, following the footsteps of Ovidius.Narcissus is foremost a figure in love. Narcissus is the unfortunate lover who suffers such a strong passion he dies from it. What he is in love with can be ignored in the medieval versions. Even if he loved a shadow, it is the intensity of his love and the funest consequences the texts insist on. Passion drives Narcissus on the road to death : spiritual death because of Madness et physical death. Narcissus was a prime subject for fin’amor poetry. Troubadours and trouveres made of Narcissus the perfect example of the fin amant between the XIIth and XIIIth centuries. Moreover Narcissus is the deeply linked to the representation of the melancholic that came from the psycho-physiological philosophical and medical theories of love.Moral Reading were also inspired by the myth. Indeed, Narcissus becomes a sinner full of flaws Under the Christian vision of the myth. Pride is the origin of all the flaws: vanity and arrogance are direct consequences. Narcissus becomes the perfect incarnation of these sins. Depending of the point of view the condemnation may vary but the idea is still the same: Narcissus is self-important and is too pleased with himself. Finally the water from the source, one of the most important aspect of the Narcissus mythology, became the meeting point of several traditions which interlaced in the medieval work: biblical water on one side and neoplatonician conceptions of reflection and ancient myth of Narcissus. The ancient fons transforms itself into a medieval fountain and a true mirror. The mirror becomes more and more independent from the surface of water. The phantasmatical dimension of the Narcissus love for his reflection is developed

This research was mainly based on my experiences along with the students of Pedagogy and Special Education course. Such knowledge has become the focal point for me to return to the essential questioner role in the risky world of research. Therefore, I propose to investigate the adolescents construction of self-image with Characteristics of High Ability / Gifted, which was constituted in this doctoral thesis, linked to the Graduate Program in Education, in the search line LP3: Special Education, UFSM - Santa Maria Federal University -RS Brazil. To help in this clash and list some possible solutions it was outlined as general aim to investigate, through the Narcissus Myth, as one builds his/her self-image on educational relationships as a reflection on the other. To advise, it was pointed out some specific objectives, such as: understanding the conception that one has of oneself; identify as the other, from educational space he sees and reveals oneself; and finally describes how he from the (intra / inter) relationship with the reflection of the other, builds one s self-image. The participants who contributed were three teenagers, one of them a 15-year-old teenager with characteristics described previously and two others not having such attributes, besides other testimonials / memorable from this mother, other mothers from the group and other teenagers disposal here, too, as objects of study. The criteria used for selecting this target corresponded to some inclusion and exclusion insights. Related to the teenage X, 15 and his characteristics were considered the identification made by the TIP - Talent Incentive Program, developed by UFSM (Santa Maria Federal University); being within the age group of 12 to 18 years old, according to the Child and Adolescent Statute and being male, as the central character of the Narcissus Myth belongs to this genre. Moreover, the other participants should be appointed by the Teenage X and legitimized by the members who make up their (inter) personal relationships. One of them, the Teenager Y, aged 17, is part of the acquaintanceship cycle that expresses a positive attitude toward to order and proximity, and another, codenamed Z, aged 16, reflecting a negative image reflex, because he is considered an opponent for attending the same educational spaces, which will outline the adolescent self-image construction, central focus for this investigation. Therefore, to present possible solutions to the aim and the Thesis problematization it was used descriptive research with case study interpretation, because the variety and searching of nexus with the object in question. For a better data explanation, It was used the qualitative method because it gave information of reality that could not be quantified. To study the declarations and contents, it was aimed to support the narrative analysis, since the stories and reports are commonplace in the investigated participants everyday life. For the subsidies collection and recording were used instruments such: semi-structured interview, notes in the logbook or observations and recordings field. Considering the statements and records of these observations, It was chosen to make the data analysis in the course of the chapters juxtapose prominent theorists. Narcissus still roams the societies today, equivalent to the ego in its difficult struggle to be born, to firm up and strengthen. The adolescence stage is marked by conceptual confusion and loss of certain references in the meeting of equals in the world of unequals. At no time is so urgent and so hard to become one. It is at school that this teenager experiences the moment of confrontation of various conceptions of what being an adolescent is, in his parents view, himself, his peers and the professionals working in education. The study of the adolescent self-image construction compared to others in the educational space gave origin to the defense of this thesis considering it as ontologically human, central to his eternal development. Finally, educational theoricals, High Ability / Gifted, multiple intelligences, psychological theories and the Narcissus Myth will be key references for the central corpus of this Doctoral Thesis.Esta pesquisa teve como embasamento principal as experiências vividas do meu fazer pedagógico junto aos alunos dos cursos de Pedagogia e Educação Especial. Tais conhecimentos se tornaram ponto fulcral para eu me voltar ao papel essencial de inquiridor no mundo arriscado da investigação. Logo, propus-me pesquisar a construção da autoimagem do adolescente com Características de Altas Habilidades/Superdotação, a qual se constituiu nesta tese de doutorado, vinculada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, na linha de pesquisa LP3: Educação Especial, da UFSM Universidade Federal de Santa Maria-RS - Brasil. Para ajudar nesse embate e elencar algumas possíveis soluções, delineei como objetivo geral investigar, pelo viés do Mito de Narciso, como esse constrói sua autoimagem, nas relações educacionais como reflexo no outro. Para assessorar, assinalei alguns objetivos específicos como: compreender a concepção que esse tem de si mesmo; identificar como o outro, do espaço educacional, o vê e o revela; e, por último, descrever como ele, a partir da (intra/inter)relação com o reflexo do outro, edifica sua autoimagem. Os participantes que contribuíram foram três adolescentes, dos quais um, com 15 anos de idade, apresenta tais característica e os outros dois não têm tal atributo; além de outros depoimentos/memoriáveis da mãe deste, outras mães do grupo e outros adolescentes que aqui disponho, também, como objetos de estudo. O critério usado para a seleção desse público alvo correspondeu a alguns discernimentos de inclusão e exclusão. Quanto ao adolescente X, de 15 anos e com as características, foram consideradas a identificação realizada pelo PIT Programa de Incentivo ao Talento, desenvolvido pela UFSM; estar dentro da faixa etária de 12 a 18 anos, conforme o ECA Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e ser do gênero masculino, visto que o personagem central do Mito de Narciso pertence a esse gênero. Quanto aos demais participantes, deverão ser indicados pelo próprio Adolescente X e legitimados pelos membros que compõem as suas relações (inter)pessoais. Um deles, o Adolescente Y, com 17 anos, é do ciclo de convivência que exprime um espelhamento de ordem positiva e proximidade; e o outro, de codinome Z, com 16, traduz uma imagem reflexa negativa, por se tratar de um oponente seu a frequentar os mesmos espaços educacionais, os quais configurarão a construção da autoimagem do adolescente, foco central desta investigação. Assim, para apresentar possíveis soluções aos objetivos e à problematização da Tese, foi utilizada a pesquisa descritiva, com interpretação de estudo de caso, visto a variedade e a busca de nexo com o objeto em questão. Para melhor explicação dos dados, utilizei o método qualitativo, pois conferiu informações da realidade que não puderam ser quantificadas. Para fazer o estudo das declarações, dos conteúdos, buscou-se suporte na Análise da Narrativa, visto que as histórias e os relatos são lugares comuns na vida diária dos participantes investigados. Para a coleta e registro dos subsídios foram usados instrumentos como: entrevista semi-estruturada, anotações em diário de bordo ou de campo, observações e gravações. Considerando as falas destes e os registros das observações, optei por fazer a análise dos dados no decorrer dos capítulos ao justapor os teóricos proeminentes. Narciso ainda perambula pelas sociedades hodiernas, equivalendo-se ao ego na sua árdua luta para nascer, firmar-se e se fortalecer. O adolescer é marcado por confusão de conceitos e perda de certas referências no encontro dos iguais no mundo dos desiguais. Em nenhum outro momento é tão urgente e tão difícil tornar-se pessoa. É no espaço escolar que o esse adolescente vivencia o momento do confronto de várias concepções do que é adolescer, na visão dos pais, dele próprio, dos seus pares e dos profissionais que atuam na educação. O estudo da construção da autoimagem desse adolescente a partir da relação espelhar com o outro no espaço educacional deu procedência à defesa dessa Tese que a entende como ontologicamente humana, fulcral para o seu eterno desenvolver-se. Enfim, teóricos sobre educação, Altas Habilidades/Superdotação, inteligências múltiplas, teorias psicológicas e do Mito de Narciso serão referenciais fulcrais para o corpus central desta Tese de Doutorado.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-27This study proposes to examine the book Echoes: the jewel of Pandora, of the goiana poet Yêda Schmaltz. To do so, she takes as its leitmotif the update, processed in the book, the myths of Echo and Narcissus. The reinvention of classical myths noticed in Echoes is exemplary of an applicant in the work of the author, which is, in the narratives of antiquity, one of the main centers of creation of her literature. In this case, the archetypal mythological women are treated in different and successive books in order to reveal the various stages of psychological growth of women. In Echoes, the character of the same name, unlike the original narrative, overcomes the rejection and beats the challenges of loving relationship. This overcoming causes in the I lyric the reach of the true love, which necessarily involves the development of self, the self-love, only to then distribute it to the others. Considering the development of this study, first of all, there will be a presentation of the author and her literature. Then, as this study includes the upgrade of classical myths in a modern poet, it will present some considerations on myth and on the relationship myth and poetry, seeking, as possible, establish a dialogue between these considerations and poems of the book covered. Finally, the procedure will be to rescue the narrative of Echo and Narcissus, as it appears in Ovid, the recovery of interpretations and theories about the narrative and also to examine, through the comment of paradigmatic poems, recovering the difference that Yêda Schmaltz stablishes about the myths of Echo and Narcissus
Este estudo propõe examinar o livro Ecos: a jóia de Pandora, da poeta goiana Yêda Schmaltz. Para tal, toma como fio condutor a atualização, processada no livro, dos mitos de Eco e Narciso. A reinvenção de mitos clássicos notada em Ecos é exemplar de um processo recorrente na obra da autora, a qual encontra, nas narrativas da Antiguidade, um dos principais núcleos de criação de sua obra. Nesse processo, os arquétipos mitológicos femininos são tratados em diferentes e sucessivos livros, de modo a revelar as diversas etapas do crescimento psicológico da mulher. Em Ecos, a personagem de mesmo nome, diferentemente da narrativa original, supera a rejeição e vence os desafios da relação amorosa. Essa superação faz com que o eu lírico alcance o amor autêntico, que perpassa obrigatoriamente pela valorização de si mesmo, pelo auto-amor, para só em seguida distribuílo aos outros. No desenvolvimento deste estudo, primeiramente, far-se-á uma apresentação da autora e da sua obra. Em seguida, como o trabalho contempla a atualização de mitos clássicos em uma poeta moderna, serão apresentadas algumas considerações sobre mito e sobre a relação mito e poesia, procurando, sempre que possível, estabelecer um diálogo entre essas considerações e poemas do livro contemplado. Por fim, proceder-se-á ao resgate da narrativa de Eco e Narciso, conforme aparece em Ovídio, à recuperação de interpretações e teorias sobre essa narrativa e também ao exame, por meio de comentário de poemas paradigmáticos, da recuperação com diferença que Yêda Schmaltz realiza dos mitos de Eco e Narciso

Narcissism, which is broadly defined as a grandiose sense of self-importance (Judge, LePine, & Rich, 2006), is a construct that is associated with many potentially toxic traits and behaviors (Back, Schmukle, & Egloff, 2010; Hogan, Raskin, & Fazzini, 1990; Paulhus & Williams, 2002). Recently, interest in determining the effects of narcissism in organizations has increased (e.g. Blair, Hoffman, & Helland, 2008; Chatterjee & Hambrick, 2007; Judge et al., 2006; Penney & Spector, 2002). Psychometric issues with the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Raskin & Hall 1979, 1981) and other measures of narcissism necessitate a more robust measure that can more accurately capture the facets of a complex construct. Conditional Reasoning Tests are designed to indirectly measure implicit cognitive processes (James & LeBreton, 2011), and are especially useful in measuring "socially unacceptable" traits such as narcissism. A 20-item Conditional Reasoning Test for Narcissism (CRT-NR) was created and underwent preliminary validation testing. Results support a 15-item measure to be used in continued validation of the instrument.

Full textAbstract:
SammanfattningDenna studie har haft till uppgift att studera narcissism och aggression. Tidigareforskning har visat att låg självkänsla korrelerar med aggression. Senare forskning visarpå motsatsen att en hög instabil uppblåst självkänsla (narcissistisk) har ett samband medaggression. Detta eftersom personer med en narcissistisk personlighet är lätta attförolämpa och att de när de upplever att deras ego hotat, svarar med ett aggressivtbeteende. I studien undersöktes också om människor med höga narcissistiska värdenockså är orealistiskt optimistiska och har en orealistisk syn på sig själv och sin kontrollöver världen. Även skillnader mellan kön och narcissims undersöktes.Studien innehöll 26 kvinnor och 25 män. De fick fylla i formulär med påståenden sommätte narcissism och optimism. De fick skriva ett stycke om ett starkt ämne. Dessaessäer bedömdes senare av som de leddes att tro en person i ett annat rum. Här skeddemanipulationen av egot genom att undersökningsledaren fyllde i positiv kritik tillhälften av respondenterna och negativ till andra hälften. Efter att fått tillbaka det som deskrivit med antingen positiv eller negativ feedback fick de rätta ett glosprov som detrodde var gjort av den person som gett dem feedback. Detta glosprov innehöll felaktigaord, felstavade och helt rätta ord.Det som studien ville undersöka var om personer med höga narcissistiska värden skullerätta stängare och ge fel även åt ord som var felstavade. Denna studie är en replikationav ett experiment gjort av Baumeister och Bushman (1998). Deras experiment hadeinget glosprov utan innehöll en datorsekvens där respondenten kunde bestraffa denandre (som inte heller här existerade) med att bestämma hur länge den andre skulle höraett starkt ljud när denne svarat fel.Denna studie uppvisade inte ett likadant resultat som tidigare studier. Inget sambandåterfanns mellan ett hotat ego och aggression. Inga skillnader mellan kön ochnarcissism uppvisades. Studien visade inte heller på ett samband mellan optimism ochnarcissism.
