Estudiem les característiques lexicals del dialecte de la llengua catalana anomenat tortosí, que comprèn les comarques del Baix Ebre, el Montsià, la Terra Alta, el Matarranya, la Ribera d"Ebre, el Maestrat i els Ports de Morella, i que es pot caracteritzar com un parlar de transició entre el català nord-occidentel i el valencià.A més de fer un inventari -unes 4.000 entrades- dels mots característics d'aquest parlar (mots exclusius del dialecte o que en el dialecte presenten una particularitat formal o semàntica), n'estudiem més específicament un miler, d'acord amb la següent estructura: Mot. Transcripció fonètica -sempre que ho creguem necessari-. Categoria gramatical. Significat. Àrea d'ús del mot (que ens permet de veure les concordances entre el parlar estudiat -del qual tenim informeció directa, de camp- amb els altres dialectes de la llengua -dels quals tenim información bibliogràfica: fonts lexicogràfiques, monografies dialectals-. Precisem amb (L), (F) o (S) si l'àrea assignada es refereix a l'extensió del lexema o de la variant formal o de la variant semàntica. Documentació antiga. Diccionaris (constatem 1"aparició o no del mot en els vocabularis específics de la zona o en els diccionaris valencians o generals). Vitalitat d'ús i documentació actual en textos escrits i en entrevistes orals. Etimologia.
El model d'estructura de les entrades que proposem creiem que podria servir de pauta per a futurs estudis monogràfics de cara a poder aprofitar al màxim la aportació que aquestes monografies suposen.
Per a la documentació dels mots ens hem basat en obres publicades i també en material inèdit que aportem, en forma d'edició critica, en els volums segon (documents escrits -textos que a més de l'interès lingüístic, tenen interès també per als historiadors orals, per als antropòlegs o per als etnòlegs-) i tercer (textos orals) d'aquesta tesi.
Dediquem també un capítol a analitzar en quina mesura l'ensenyament del català a l'escola tendeix a uniformar el lèxic en la zona objecte d'estudi cap al lèxic considerat estàndard. I un altre, a detectar les actituds interdialectals entre els parlants tortosins i els barcelonins.
Es tracta, doncs, d'un treball de dialectologia on emprem els mètodes tradicionals combinats amb els de la sociolingüística i els de l'antropologia.
L'anàlisi comparativa del vocabulari bàsic tortosí, valencià i nord-occidental respecte d'un inventari de mots bàsics (1.500) del català central, demostra la coincidència major amb el lèxic valencià que no pas amb el nord-occidental -tot i que en la classificació dialectal vigent el tortosí es considera un subdialecte d"aquest darrer-. Constatem també que -com era d"esperar- només un 11% del vocabulari bàsic tortosí és diferent del vocabulari bàsic general de l'inventari susdit.
Els criteris de selecció de mots que havien de constar en l'inventari ha estat el següent:
1) Criteri de propietat lèxica, pel qual s'inclouen mots que, essent netament catalans, es reserven a un ús literari o restringit (abellir, atansar, eixir, bla(n)), mentre que en el dialecte estudiat són d'ús comú.
2) Criteri de determinació de l'objecte: paraules del català general que en tortosí corresponen a objectes i significats diferents (llevar, moll)
3) Criteri d"especificitat semàntica. També s'inclouen mots que tenen una accepció molt precisa i, en aquests casos, només ens ocupem d'aquesta accepció i no de la més general.
4) Criteri d'exclusió formal: detectem els casos en què el tortosí empra una de les formes sinònimes esteses per tot el domini i exclou completamente l'altra. També aquest criteri ens serveix per incloure o no els castellanismes: si són l'únic mot emprat, l'incloem, si hi ha altres mots usuals, no.
5) Criteri de diversitat geogràfica en el sentit propi. S'inclouen paraules noves des de tots els punts de vista: (semer, enrònia, guaixar),
Hem pogut constatar la gran riquesa lexical del dialecte tortosí, que, com la major part dels dialectes catalans està en perill de pèrdua perquè els parlants tendeixen a la simplificació i a la substitució de mots genuïns per préstec de l'espanyol, o, en el millor dels casos, per l'equivalent estàndard.
Un inventari d'aquesta mena -on intentem de donar una forma escrita apta per al mot dialectal- creiem que, en l'etapa de normalització en què es troba el català, pot ser útil perquè molts mots són recuperables, sobretot si els escriptors estan segurs que és legítim d'emprar-los.
We consider the lexical characteristics of the Catalan dialect known as "tortosí" and which can be described as a transitional dialect between Northwest Catalan and Valencian.
In addition to presenting en inventory of approximately 4,000 terms characteristic of this speech area (words exclusive to the dialect or which present a formal or semantic peculiarity in the dialect), the thesis studies 1,000 terms in depth, according to the following structure, which is proposed as B model for lexical entries: "Word", "Phonetic transcription" (when necessary), "Grammatical category", "Meaning", "Geographic area" where used (which allows us to see similarities between the dialect under study, for which we have data from field work, and other Catalan dialects, for which we have published references such as lexicographic sources or dialect monographs. We use (L)/(F)/(S) to see if the assigned area refers to the extension of the lexeme or to the formal or semantic variant. "Old documents", "Dictionaries": we record the appearance or absence of the word lists specific to the area or in dictionaries of Valencian or of Catalan in general, "Degree of use" and current frequency in documents and oral interviews. "Etymology"
To document words, we have based ourselves on published works as well as on unpublished materials, which we present with annotations in the second (written documents) and third (transcription of oral passages) volumes of this dissertation.
We also dedicate a chapter to analyzing the way the teaching of Catalan in schools is tending to homogenize the lexicon in this area end make it more similar to that of the standard language.
Another chapter discusses the attitudes between speakers of the Tortosa dialect and speakers from Barcelona.
In sum this dissertation presents dialect work in a traditional framework combined with elements of sociolinguistic and anthropological methodology.
Comparative analysis of the basic vocabulary of "Tortosí", Valencian, and Northwestern Catalan with respect to the inventory of basic vocabulary (1,500 words) of Central Catalan indicates a higher degree of similarity with Valencian, as opposed to Northwestern Catalan, although the traditional dialect divisions classify "Tortosí" as a subdialect of Northwestern Catalan and not Valencian.
We record the tremendous lexical variety of this dialect which, as is the case for most Catalan dialects is in danger of disappearing because speakers autoctonous words with loans from Spanish, or from the standard dialect.

Aquesta tesi té per objectiu analitzar, des del punt de vista de la planificació lingüística i amb una perspectiva sincrònica, el model de llengua estàndard oral vehiculat pel sistema d’ensenyament i pels mèdia públics de televisió de l’àrea tortosina. Així, aquesta investigació es divideix en dos eixos: el de l’àmbit educatiu i el dels mèdia.
En primer lloc, pel que fa a l’ensenyament, ens centrem en l’estudi de l’estàndard oral difós pels mestres del primer curs de primària de les escoles de 9 poblacions catalanes i d’11 valencianes, situades a banda i banda de la frontera administrativa. En total, analitzem 29 tutors d’aquest nivell educatiu i contrastem les seues dades amb les dels alumnes, això és, prenem com a filtre de l’objecte de recerca els usos lingüístics adquirits pels 416 alumnes d’aquests ensenyants.
En segon lloc, amb relació als mèdia, examinem el model lingüístic emprat pels tres periodistes tortosins que apareixen en les dos edicions del Telenotícies de TV3: Glòria Boquizo, Fàtima Llambrich i Víctor Sorribes. El corpus de treball està format per 101 peces televisives d’informació.
Quant a l’estructura, la tesi té quatre parts. A la part i n’exposem el marc teòric: les nocions d’ecologia lingüística, de llengua estàndard i d’estandardització. Dediquem la part ii a la contextualització de diversos aspectes de la investigació. En primer lloc, definim l’àrea objecte d’estudi, circumscrita a la Mancomunitat de la Taula del Sénia, mitjançant dades de caràcter demogràfic i econòmic; en segon lloc, descrivim geolectalment el tortosí de les comarques examinades: el Montsià, el Baix Maestrat i els Ports. En tercer lloc, centrant-nos en aquesta àrea central del domini lingüístic, resseguim el procés d’estandardització en aquest territori a partir del model de llengua vehiculat. Finalment, mostrem una panoràmica de l’estàndard oral català difós a TV3 durant els darrers 30 anys.
Bastim la part iii amb l’anàlisi de les dades recollides distribuïdes, d’una banda, tenint en compte el nivell de llenguatge —fonètica, morfologia i lèxic— i, de l’altra, segons l’àmbit d’investigació: ensenyament i mèdia. En primer lloc, quant a l’àmbit educatiu, les dades revelen la manca de discerniment dels docents entre les variants tortosines codificades per l’estàndard i les col·loquials i també la difusió de formes estàndards del català central en detriment de les tortosines. En aquest sentit, l’arraconament de les solucions estàndards tortosines es concentra, sobretot, en el lèxic i, en menor mesura, en la morfologia nominal. Tanmateix, el grau d’integració del tortosí en el model de llengua dels docents valencians és superior al dels catalans, atès que l’estàndard imperant al País Valencià és l’occidental. En segon lloc, de l’anàlisi lingüística dels mèdia se’n desprèn l’heterogeneïtat de models entre els locutors, tot i que la tendència general és l’abdicació de les variants verbals estàndards tortosines. Per contra, es demostra que la fonètica és el nivell lingüístic més refractari a l’estàndard del català central, per bé que hem documentat realitzacions al·lòctones com la reducció vocàlica.
En darrer terme, en la part iv, per un cantó, presentem les conclusions de la tesi, en què es posa de manifest la vehiculació parcial de l’estàndard planificat tortosí. Més concretament, es revela que el grau d’integració del tortosí en l’estàndard difós és elevat en la fonètica, mitjà en la morfologia nominal i irregular en la morfologia verbal i en el lèxic —nivells en què convé distingir entre els resultats a l’ensenyament i als mèdia. Per l’altre cantó, proposem un model de llengua d’estàndard oral per a la zona tortosina per a cada sector analitzat a partir de les dades recollides, les quals permeten traçar futures línies de recerca sobre l’estandardització d’àrees administrativament frontereres.The present dissertation aims to analyze, from the language planning point of view and with a synchronic prospective, the spoken standard spread by the Tortosin educational system and public television. Research is divided into two main areas: the education sector and the mass media. Firstly, regarding the education sector, this dissertation focuses on the spoken standard spread by first grade elementary school teachers in nine Catalan and eleven Valencian towns. We study a total of 29 first grade elementary school instructors and we contrast their data with that of their students; in other words, we use data collected from 416 children to filter the linguistic model they learn from their teachers. Secondly, concerning the media, we examine the spoken standard spread by three Tortosin journalists that appear in two separate editions of the newscast Telenotícies, broadcasted by TV3: Glòria Boquizo, Fàtima Llambrich and Víctor Sorribes. The research corpus is comprised of 101 informative pieces. This dissertation has been divided into four chapters. In Chapter i, we explain the theoretical framework of this thesis: the concept of linguistic ecology, standard variety and standardization. In Chapter ii, we contextualize several details of the research. First, we delimit the area of study within la Mancomunitat de la Taula del Sénia with demographic and economic information. Secondly, we describe the Tortosin geolect that is spoken in the Montsià, Baix Maestrat and Ports regions. Also, we expose the process of standardization inside the area of focus. Finally, we show a panoramic view of the Catalan spoken standard spread by TV3 for the last 30 years. In Chapter iii, we analyze the collected data in two different ways: according to the language system (phonetics, morphology and vocabulary) and regarding the sector examined (education and media). From the first perspective, data from the educational system reveals the lack of discernment between the Tortosin codified standard and colloquial forms. Additionally, it reveals the spread of Eastern Catalan standard variants at the expense of Tortosin variants. Accordingly, the disappearance of the Tortosin standard focuses on vocabulary, and to a lesser extent, nominal morphology. However, the degree of Tortosin features in the standard spread by Valencian teachers is higher than that spread by Catalan teachers, due to the dominant standard in País Valencià being the Western variety. From the second perspective, linguistic analysis of the media shows the heterogeneity of models among the studied journalists. Nonetheless, the general tendency is the disappearance of the Tortosin standard verbal forms. In contrast, this research shows that phonetics most strongly resists the influence of Eastern Catalan standard features. Finally, in Chapter iv we present the conclusions of this dissertation, such as the partial vehiculation of the Tortosin codified standard. Particularly, this study reveals that the grade of integration of Tortosin into the spread standard is high in phonetics, medium in nominal morphology and irregular in verbal morphology and vocabulary (we must distinguish between these two latter sections). Moreover, we propose a Tortosin spoken standard model for the Tortosin speaking area to each studied sector and future lines of research regarding standardization in administrative border areas.

Full textAbstract:
Tomando como base una parte del corpus bibliográfico registrado en su tesina Tortosa, república literària (1475-1800), el autor se propone contextualizar las obras y los autores más relevantes del Renacimiento y el Barroco en la ciudad de Tortosa, presentada como paradigma de ciudad mediana de la Corona de Aragón, al margen de las capitales regnícolas.Los tres primeros capítulos están dedicados al contexto socio-cultural tortosino y en especial a las relaciones con Valencia, Zaragoza y Barcelona, epicentros que enmarcan su horizonte cultural. Querol plantea un modelo de transmisión cultural transversal y reticular, en el cual Barcelona incorpora los mejores intelectuales del país. Estos, gracias a la reducida extensión del Principado, continúan en contacto con sus lugares de origen, favoreciendo de esta manera el flujo de personas, ideas y géneros literarios. Por otro lado, se analizan detalladamente las infraestructuras locales que permiten la asimilación y el desarrollo de la cultura literaria: los Reales Colegios -universidad dominica-, el Estudio de Gramática, la lectoría de la Seo y la imprenta, tecnología básica para la diffusion de las obras, pero también para la promoción de la creatividad y para la forja de una tradición local identificable y un poso cultural propio.
Lejos de querer establecer un registro exhaustivo de la producción literaria tortosina, el resto de capítulos (4-10) se centran en los episodios más brillantes del período estudiado. Se recogen los autores y los géneros más interesantes y se contextualizan dentro del ámbito catalán y de la Corona de Aragón: la introducción de los métodos pedagógicos de Nebrija por parte de los gramáticos Jeroni Amiguet y Pere Seguí; la figura y obra de Cristòfol Despuig, analizada a la luz de una novedosa aportación documental biográfica; el grupo poético a caballo de los siglos XVI y XVII -Heredia, Desí, Suárez de Godoy, Vicent Garcia-; la historiografía local, desde sus antecedentes a la culminación en la Historia de la antigua Hibera (1626), de Francesc Martorell; los escritos políticos en la Guerra dels Segadors; el poeta Francisco de la Torre, el literato catalán mejor valorado y conocido a nivel español en el Barroco, y, por último, la producción dramática en la ciudad.
La tesis, que ha obtenido el «Cum Laude» por unanimidad, aporta desde una óptica interdisciplinaria y lingüísticamente no excluyente, una nueva pieza al cada vez más rico y complejo rompecabezas literario de la Catalunya moderna.
Taking as a basis part of the bibliographical corpus registered in his Tortosa, república literària (1475-1800), the author aims to put in context the most outstanding works and authors of the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Tortosa, presented as an example of the medium-sized town of the Corona de Aragón.
The three first chapters focus on the social and cultural context of Tortosa, specially on its relationships with Valencia, Zaragoza and Barcelona, cultural centers that frame the literary horizon of the town. Querol proposes a network cultural transmission model, in which Barcelona would incorporate the best minds of the territory. However, thanks to the relatively small size of Catalonia, these intellectuals and creators would continue keeping contact with their hometowns. In this way people, ideas and literary genres would spread easily all through the Catalan country. Secondly, the local, cultural and pedagogical infrastructures which allowed the assimilation and development of the literary culture are analyzed in detail: the Reals Col·legis ('Royal Colleges'), or Dominican University, the grammar school, the Lectoria of the Cathedral, and the printing press, basic tool not only for the distribution of the works, but also to foster the creativity and to set a local tradition.
Far from establishing an exhaustive register of the local production, the rest of the chapters (4-10) highlight the most conspicuous literary moments of the period. Authors and genres are gathered and put in context within the scope of Catalonia and the Corona de Aragón: the introduction of Nebrija's pedagogical methods by the grammarians Jeroni Amiguet and Pere Seguí, the man Cristòfol Despuig and its work, analyzed under the light shed by new biographical documentation; the poetical circle working in the late XVI and early XVII centuries -Heredia, Desí, Suárez de Godoy, Vicent Garcia-; the local historiography and the need for an «authorized» history; the political writings related to the Guerra dels Segadors, Francisco de la Torre, being the most well-known and valued Catalan poet in the Baroque Spain, and the local drama productions.
The thesis, which unanimously obtained the «Cum Laude» qualification, contributes, from an interdisciplinary and linguistically non-excluding view, with a new piece to the increasingly richer and more complex Catalan literary puzzle of the Modern period.

Managing for the long-term survival of a species requires an understanding of its population genetics. The desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii, inhabits the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of North America. Desert tortoises face many threats to their continued survival, including habitat loss and fragmentation. I used mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA markers to examine genetic structure within and among populations of desert tortoises. I found that both the Mojave and Sonoran populations of desert tortoise exhibit similar patterns of population genetic structure. Gene flow among localities within each region is part of the evolutionary history of the desert tortoise and dispersal events probably play an important role in the long-term maintenance of populations. Movement barriers caused by anthropogenic landscape changes have the potential to effect desert tortoise population viability. Understanding the historical connectivity between and within the Mojave and Sonoran populations of desert tortoises will help facilitate the conservation of this species.

La consciencia por la mejora en la elección de los alimentos a consumir, ha tomado más fuerza con el pasar de los años. En el Perú el 80% de las personas de clase media tienden a tomar en cuenta la información alimentaria antes de comprar un producto; y están dispuestos a pagar más por dicha elección (Gestión, 2019).
Esta tendencia no excluye a la pastelería, que es un rubro bastante solicitado para ocasiones especiales. Sin embargo, en el mercado limeño actual, las opciones de pastelerías saludables son bajas; pues la mayoría de establecimientos trabajan con ingredientes compuestos de azúcares, grasa y otros. Adicional a ello, es frecuente tener inconvenientes en el tiempo de entrega de las tortas.
Por ello, se crea Peqachu ofrecerá tortas elaboradas a base de granos andinos, edulcorantes y variedad de frutas, y dicha preparación tendrá la orientación de un nutricionista. Cabe resaltar, la pastelería será virtual, se atenderá a través de los canales digitales como Facebook y una página web. Así mismo, los pedidos serán entregados a los clientes mediante el servicio de delivery.
Finalmente se demuestra que el negocio es rentable con altas posibilidades de crecimiento, al tener como valor agregado el uso de los granos andinos como insumo principal en la elaboración de tortas. De acuerdo al análisis financiero, se demuestra que el proyecto es viable y rentable para su muestra en marcha.The awareness for the improvement in the choice of food to consume, has gained more strength over the years. In Peru, 80% of middle class people tend to take food information into account before buying a product; and they are willing to pay more for said election (Gestión, 2019). This trend does not exclude pastry, which is a very popular item for special occasions. However, in today's Lima market, healthy bakery options are low; since most establishments work with ingredients composed of sugars, fat and others. Additionally, it is common to have problems in the delivery time of the cakes. For this reason, Peqachu is created will offer cakes made from Andean grains, sweeteners and a variety of fruits, and said preparation will have the guidance of a nutritionist. It should be noted, the pastry shop will be virtual, it will be served through digital channels such as Facebook and a website. Likewise, orders will be delivered to customers through the delivery service. Finally, it is shown that the business is profitable with high growth possibilities, having as an added value the use of Andean grains as the main input in the preparation of cakes. According to the financial analysis, the project is shown to be viable and profitable for its ongoing sample.

La Catedral de Santa Maria de Tortosa (1345-1757) és un dels edificis gòtics més importants de Catalunya. La seva construcció va suposar la substitució progressiva de la seu romànica preexistent, en un procés de construcció-deconstrucció en que tots dos edificis van coexistir fins a principis del segle XVIII. L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és analitzar el procés de construcció de la catedral de Tortosa a través de tècniques actuals, les quals permetran ampliar el coneixement existent més enllà de la historiografia tradicional.
Així, s'estableix una metodologia que implicarà, en primer lloc, generar una nova base topogràfica utilitzant tècniques de captura massiva de dades. Complementàriament, també es realitza una campanya de prospecció geofísica del subsòl. En segon lloc, s'estableix una hipòtesi volumètrica de l'encaix entre els dos edificis al llarg de tot el procés, i podent identificar els matisos de l'execució i les fases de major complexitat. Finalment, s'analitzen les condicions d'equilibri de l'absis durant el procés de construcció, i identificant els moments constructius en els quals l'estabilitat de l'estructura estava compromesa i era necessari disposar d'algun sistema auxiliar per compensar les empentes de les voltes, garantint l'estabilitat.
Per tant, la investigació ha permès establir un nou marc de referència sobre el procés de construcció de la catedral gòtica de Tortosa. A més, el càlcul realitzat també permet entendre millor el comportament estructural de l'absis, establint així una referència per al seu manteniment i conservació. Finalment, la nova base topogràfica obtinguda també possibilitarà el control de deformacions, alhora que obre la porta a futures investigacions per aprofundir en altres aspectes sobre la catedral.La Catedral de Santa María de Tortosa (1345-1757) es uno de los edificios góticos más importantes de Cataluña.

Por tanto, la investigación ha permitido establecer un nuevo marco de referencia sobre el proceso de construcción de la catedral gótica de Tortosa. A demás, el cálculo realizado también permite entender mejor el comportamiento estructural del ábside, estableciendo así una referencia para su mantenimiento y conservación.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Tortosa (1345-1757) is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Catalonia. Its construction involved the progressive replacement of the existing Romanesque Cathedral in a process of construction-deconstruction. Both buildings coexisted until the early eighteenth century. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the process of construction of the Cathedral of Tortosa by means of current techniques, which will expand the existing knowledge beyond traditional historiography. Thus, it is set a methodology that will involve, on first place, the performance of a new topographic survey using techniques of massive data capture. In addition, a campaign of geophysical prospecting of the subsoil is also performed. On second place, a volumetric hypothesis of the two buildings is established through the entire process of construction. It enables to identify the nuances of the process and the most complex phases. Finally, the equilibrium conditions of the apse are analyzed during the construction process of the building. It is possible to identify the phases when the stability of the structure was compromised and needed some temporary system of buttressing to compensate the thrusts of the vaults to guaranty the stability. Therefore, the research has established a new framework on the process of construction of the Gothic Cathedral of Tortosa. Moreover, the calculation also enhances the understanding of the structural behavior of the apse, establishing a reference for its maintenance. Finally, the new topographic base also enables the control of deformations, while opens the door to further research about other aspects of the Cathedral.

Det är en möbel som är lite bortglömd formmässigt men som trots allt verkar sälja väldigt bra i Kina. Jag hoppas kunna hitta en mer stilren lösning som också är mer köns och åldersneutral än de våningssängar som finns idag. Mitt arbete börjar med att försöka skapa en generell förståelse för landet som helhet och att leta efter likheter och olikheter mellan våra kulturer som kan ha betydelse för min frågeställning. I min designprocess utgår jag från olika designstrategier som fungerar som en checklista för utvecklingen av min möbel. I en funktionsanal listar jag sedan önskade funktioner som alla har egenskaper att påverka en bättre global miljö eller mänskligt välbefinnande. Mitt slutgiltiga förslag, Tortoise, är en våningssäng ämnad för unga familjer i Kina. Den är i första hand tänkt att användas i barnkammaren för en familj med 1 till 2 barn eller för en familj som ofta får besök av mor och farföräldrar, men kan lika väl stå i ett kombinerat gästrum/kontor. Sängen kan vara en stabil och rolig klätterställning på dagen, en mysig soffa för en eller flera på kvällen och en mysig och fantastiskt skön säng på natten. Sängen ser kanske inte ut som en sköldpadda, Tortoise, men den har egenskaper som stämmer väl överens med sköldpaddans symbolik, som värnar om trygghet, stabilitet och ett lång liv. Genom mitt examensarbete med sängen i fokus har jag lagt grunden för en framtida verksamhet på en arena utanför Sverige, i en annan kultur med andra förutsättningar både beträffande kundunderlag, produktionsvillkor och attityder till hållbarhetsfrågor. Detta har också varit mitt syfte med uppgiften på längre sikt.

Purpose: This dissertation begins with Joaquim Pedro de Andrade's cinematographic trajectory, his first experiences in cinema with the short films O Mestre de Apipucos (1959), O Poeta do Castelo (1959) and Couro de Gato (1960), relying in particular on the feature film Garrincha, Alegria do Povo (1963), with the intention of pointing out some important issues of the genre known as "documentary", as the film has been termed, showing its similarities with other genres of cinema. From an analysis of the use of impure footage in Garrincha, which was elaborated with the mixture of archival and filmed footage – an unusual practice at the time –, the dissertation draws similarities and differences with a supposed film genre, recently known as "filme-ensaio". For comparative purposes, an analysis of the documentary Rei Pelé, also from 1963, was carried out. Garrincha, Alegria do Povo reveals itself a singular film realized with practices similar to the filmic montages of works of the contemporary art.
Objetivo: Esta pesquisa pretende analisar o início da trajetória cinematográfica de Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, suas primeiras experiências com o cinema com os curtas-metragens O Mestre de Apipucos (1959), O Poeta do Castelo (1959) e Couro de Gato (1960), mas se apoiar em especial no longa-metragem Garrincha, Alegria do Povo, com a intenção de pontuar algumas questões importantes do gênero conhecido como “documentário”, como o filme tem sido denominado, mostrando suas semelhanças com outros gêneros do cinema. A partir de uma análise sobre o uso do material impuro do filme Garrincha, que é elaborado com a mistura de material de arquivo e material filmado – uma prática incomum na época –, a dissertação traça semelhanças e diferenças com um suposto gênero fílmico, recentemente conhecido como “filme-ensaio”. Para fins comparativos, foi também realizada uma análise do documentário Rei Pelé realizado no mesmo ano. Garrincha, Alegria do Povo revela-se um filme singular realizado com práticas semelhantes às montagens fílmicas de obras da arte contemporânea.

Full textAbstract:
Wolbachia are bacteria that infect and induce reproductive alterations in a large number of arthropods. The present study was undertaken to improve our understanding of the effects that Wolbachia have on the reproductive biology of the leaf beetle Chelymorpha alternans Boh, in Panama. Two strains of Wolbachia occur in C. alternans, both of which induce some degree of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), a reproductive problem occurring when individuals bearing different infection status are mated together resulting in lowered levels of egg fertility. I attempted to localize where Wolbachia occurs in highest density in male reproductive tissues and to see if variation in Wolbachia density was associated with levels of CI in crossing experiments involving males (1) differing in age, (2) carrying different strains and (3) belonging to different populations previously known to vary in their levels of CI. Wolbachia were found to occur only in the somatic cells surrounding the testis, rather than in the germ cells, and yet were capable of inducing strong CI. Male age, infection status and provenance all were factors affecting the level of CI induced.

Provocati, emprende con la atención de un mercado enfocado a personas que gustan de los dulces y los postres, pero a que, a la vez, buscan con ello compartir también un "dulce momento" en familia sacando provecho a la mayor cantidad de tiempo que sus miembros deben actualmente pasar en casa y protegiéndolos a su vez de la exposición al contagio del virus. Para validar la propuesta de negocio, analizaremos el mercado objetivo mediante una investigación cualitativa a través de la metodología de entrevistas a profundidad. Además, se medirá la intención de compra del consumidor a través del uso de herramientas como landing page y redes sociales como Facebook a fin de relacionarlas con las hipótesis y a su vez ratificar nuestra propuesta de valor.The purpose of the present study is to determine the viability of PROVOCATI project in its quest to develop a business model of "Unprepared cakes" not yet exploited by companies in the pastry industry that, due to the global outbreak of Covid-19, have had the need to reinvent themselves and adapt their business model. The project seeks to convert the way of acquiring cakes, into a new and innovative experience for the consumer. PROVOCATI company assists a market focused on people who like sweets and desserts, but who, at the same time, also seek to share a "sweet moment" with the family, taking advantage of the greater amount of time that its members must currently spend at home and protecting them at the same time from exposure of getting infected with the virus. To validate the business proposal, we will analyze the target market with qualitative research through in-depth interview methodology. In addition, the consumer's purchase intention will be measured through the use of tools such as landing pages and social networks such as Facebook in order to relate them to the hypotheses and ratify our value proposition.

Este ensaio tem como objetivo apresentar uma leitura do livro O exército de cavalaria, do escritor Isaac Bábel (1894-1940). A leitura empreendida buscou investigar as relações dialéticas entre o texto ficcional e a História, uma vez que as narrativas de Bábel abordam a Campanha Russo-Polonesa, ocorrida entre 1920 e 1921. Ao mesmo tempo, as formas particulares de representação do heroico e do épico, que permitem compreender O exército de cavalaria como uma espécie de epopeia falhada, conduziram a uma reflexão a respeito do realismo babeliano e da possibilidade de caracterizar o seu livro como um romance. Nele, fragmentação, a organização não linear e episódica dos conflitos, a recusa à ordem cronológica e a variedade de narradores e vozes do texto parecem, todos, encenar a dificuldade de a forma romanesca tradicional incorporar esteticamente uma matéria contraditória e convulsa.This essay aims to present a reading of the book Red Calvary, from Isaac Babel (1893 - 1940). The perusal undertaken sought to investigate the dialetic relations between History and fictional texts, once the Bábel\'s narratives approach the Russian-Polish Civil War, which occurred between 1920 and 1921. At the same time, the particular forms of representation of the heroic and of the epic allowed to understand Red Calvary as a kind of failed epic and conducted to a reflection about babelian realism and the possibility of characterizing his book as a novel. On the book, fragmentation, non-linear and episodic organization of conflicts, the refusal to chronological order and the variety of narrators and voices of the text seem to stage the difficulty of the romanesque traditional form to aesthethically incorporate the experience of the war and of the contradicting and convulse matter. Keywords: Isaac Babel; Modernism; Novel; Russian Literature; Sovietic Literature.

Estudou-se e caracterizou-se o processamento industrial associado à confecção dos produtos e de todos os parâmetros que o influenciam, tendo-se para o efeito, procedido a um acompanhamento de duas linhas de produção nesta empresa - tortas e bolos. Neste sentido, para aferir como evoluem e poderão interferir na qualidade do produto, procedeu-se à avaliação de todos os parâmetros físicos em cada etapa do processo, com destaque para a amassagem, formação e cozedura, recheio / cobertura e embalagem, incluindo o controlo de pesos de massa e produto final, densidades, peso do cremes e percentagem de humidade. Verificou-se que o processo de fabrico das tortas e bolos obedeceu aos parâmetros de controlo, encontrando-se dentro dos limites de aceitação. Concluiu-se que os desajutes no processo de fabrico se devem a problemas de sintonia nos equipamentos e a deficiências nos agentes operativos. Para facultar uma acção corretiva, que se pretende rápida e eficiente, apresenta-se um quadro que permite coadjuvar sistemas tecnológicos de recuperação com deficiências no processo de fabrico.

Full textAbstract:
Fencing, particularly electric fencing, is widely used across South Africa for livestock and game ranching practices. Recent studies found that leopard tortoises (Stigmochelys pardalis) are more prone to dying from electrocution along electric fences than any other taxa. However, no studies have quantified tortoise mortality along non-electric fences or assessed the impact of fence structure. With South Africa being home to more tortoise species than anywhere else in the world, thus is a conservation concern. This study quantifies tortoise mortalities associated with electrified and non-electrified fences and relates these rates to fence structure (mesh or strand). Open veld transects are used as controls to estimate background mortality. This study also reports the distribution and abundance of different fence types along 2200 km of roads in the southeastern Karoo, allowing the cumulative impacts of different fence types to be estimated. All fence types had significantly higher tortoise mortalities than open veld transects. Leopard tortoise mortalities were significantly higher along electric fences than non-electric fences. Despite forming only approximately 4% of all roadside fencing, electric fences account for 56% of leopard tortoise mortalities. This study validates concern for increased electric fence use in the future and the potential impacts on leopard tortoises. When considering the current abundance of fence types and their associated mortalities, the total number of leopard tortoise mortalities along electric and non-electric fences are similar. Angulate tortoise (Chersina angulata) mortalities were significantly higher along mesh fences than strand fences, but did not differ between electric and non-electric fences. Angulate tortoises appear to wedge themselves in mesh fences and are unable to escape. This study highlights the current threat of non-electric fencing on tortoises as no similar findings have been reported. These additional tortoise mortalities should be considered alongside other emerging threats when questioning the longevity of these tortoise populations, not only in the Karoo, but globally. The implementation and practicality of previously suggested mitigation strategies are discussed and alternative mitigation strategies are suggested. This study concludes that raising of the electric strands is impractical and the implementation of rock aprons are ineffective. Live tortoises displayed active behavior when temperature was above 20 °C, thus thermostatic switches for electric fences could potentially reduce tortoise mortalities without compromising fences function.

Full textAbstract:
Desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) occurring east and south of the Colorado River form the "Sonoran population," a regulatory designation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, whereas tortoises west and north of the river constitute the "Mojave population." This distinction is based on significant genetic, morphometric and ecological differences. However, mitochondrial DNA, morphometric, and ecological data from the eastern bajada of the Black Mountains (about 40 km east of the Colorado River) identify the evolutionary affinities of those tortoises as Mojavean: ten of eleven Black Mountain tortoises possessed the Mojave genotype, twenty-four of thirty-seven tortoises predominantly expressed the Mojave phenotype, and all tortoises were similar to Mojave populations in macrohabitat selection. Some ecological and behavioral attributes such as home range size and hibernaculum selection did not differ among Mojave, Sonoran, and Black Mountain tortoises. Several hypotheses on how the Mojave trait became established in the Black Mountains are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Species-species and species-habitat interactions have been demonstrated to be important in influencing diversity across a variety of ecosystems. Despite generalities in the importance of these interactions, appropriate mechanisms to explain them are absent in many systems. In sandhill systems of the southeast U.S., gopher tortoises have been hypothesized to be a crucial species in the maintenance of diversity and function. However, the mechanisms and magnitude in which they influence their communities and habitats have rarely been empirically quantified. I examined how habitat structure influences tortoise abandonment of burrows and how tortoise densities influence non-volant vertebrate community diversity. Tortoise burrow abandonment is directly influenced by canopy closure, with each percent increase in canopy cover relating to a ~2% increase in the probability of burrow abandonment. In addition, tortoise burrow density was positively correlated with diversity and evenness, but not species richness. This influence was directly proportional to burrow density, supporting a dominance role for this species and rejecting the commonly asserted keystone species mechanism. I also quantified the influence of tortoises in influencing diversity relative to other environmental and habitat variables. Through this research, I have demonstrated that disturbance and habitat structure are important, but diversity responds most to density of burrows in the habitat. These findings demonstrate the intricate relationships interacting to maintaining diversity in sandhill systems. In particular, habitat change leading to declines of gopher tortoises may have drastic negative impacts on vertebrate species diversity.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
The daily oxygen consumption (VO2) pattern, the effects of varying ambient temperatures, season and mass on the resting oxygen consumption (RVO2) of Chersina angulata of the Eastern Cape were investigated. The RVO2 was measured using flow-through respirometry and specific resting oxygen consumption (sRVO2) calculated. To determine the daily pattern in the VO2 of C. angulata, the tortoises were acclimated in an environmentally controlled room (ECR) to an ambient temperature of 26 ± 1°C and a light regime of 14 hours of light and 10 hours of darkness (14L:10D) for at least a week prior to the RVO2 measurements. The RVO2 was measured at a constant temperature of 26 ± 1°C, and at three different light regimes, namely: 14L:10D, constant darkness (DD) and constant light (LL). There were no significant effects of mass or gender on the sRVO2 of the tortoises used. Rhythms in the sRVO2 were detected under all three light regimes. The amplitudes of the rhythm were largest at 14L:10D, followed by DD and smallest at LL regime. The persistence of the rhythmic pattern under constant conditions suggests the existence of an endogenous circadian rhythm in the sRVO2 for adult C. angulata. To test for the effect of ambient temperature on the sRVO2 of adult C. angulata, the tortoises were acclimated to 22 ± 1°C and a 14L:10D light regime prior to the RVO2 measurements. RVO2 was measured at eight experimental temperatures; 14°C, 18°C, 22°C, 26°C, 30°C, 35°C, 38°C and 40°C. The sRVO2 was not influenced by gender and increased with experimental temperatures, but this did not happen consistently over the whole range of temperatures tested. A plateau, possibly a thermal preferendum zone, was detected within the temperature range of 26 - 38°C. Determination of seasonal effect on the sRVO2 of adult C. angulata was accomplished by acclimating tortoises to standard summer and winter conditions. Seasonal effects were tested in the appropriate seasons. Winter experiments were conducted in winter and summer experiments conducted in summer. The RVO2 was measured at experimental temperature 14°C, 18°C and 22°C. In addition RVO2 of iv winter-acclimated tortoises was also measured at 10°C. The sRVO2 increased significantly with increasing temperature within the temperature range tested. No distinct pattern was observed in the seasonal acclimation of adult C. angulata. The metabolic rate-temperature curves of the summer and the winter-acclimated tortoises cross each other. Season and temperature had no significant effects on the mass-scaling exponent of the sRVO2. The exponent ranged from 0.48 to 0.73 within the temperature range of 22 - 38°C. Below and above this temperature range, the exponent ranged from 1.47 to 1.67. An inverse relationship was observed between sRVO2 and body mass over the temperature range of 22 - 38°C. At 14°C and 18°C, sRVO2 increased with body mass, while at 10°C and at 40°C the slope was 1.01.

Full textAbstract:
Captive husbandry programs in zoos have documented nesting behavior and have successfully hatched Manouria emys emys, but data on sex determining mechanisms and sex ratios are absent. A total of 30 M. e. emys eggs were artificially incubated at five different temperatures in constant humidity. Mean incubator temperatures were 24.99°C, 25.06°C, 27.18°C, 28.00°C, and 30.79°C. Incubation duration ranged from 60 days to 92 days, and hatching success was 50%. Sex determined by histology and laparoscopy resulted in male differentiation at low temperatures (24.99°C, 27.18°C) and female differentiation at high temperatures (30.79°C). Pivotal temperature was estimated to be 29.29°C. The following investigation into temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), including its presence or absence, pattern, and pivotal temperature, has implications for studies of adaptive significance of reproductive behaviors and of chelonian phylogenetic history. Additionally, the proposed study can provide foundations for conservation management decisions, and for captive breeding programs.

Upper Respiratory Tract Disease (URTD), caused by the pathogens Mycoplasma agassizii and M. testudineum, has been documented in the desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii). Although URTD was identified as a putative agent that led to federal listing of the Mojave population of the desert tortoise, little is known about this disease in the Sonoran population of the desert tortoise. The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) the prevalence of URTD across an urban gradient in Greater Tucson, Arizona, 2) the relationship between URTD and captive and free-ranging tortoises in Mohave, Maricopa, and Pima counties in Arizona, and 3) the effects of URTD on desert tortoise home range size and winter temperature selection.

Previous issue date: 2015-08-20Esta pesquisa objetiva identificar os motivos que levaram Benedito XIII e o judeu converso, Jerônimo de Santa Fé, a realizar a Disputa de Tortosa, em 1413-14. Destaca que os judeus das comunidades aragonesas foram vítimas de intolerância religiosa, sendo considerados infiéis, pecadores, avarentos e praticantes de usura. No relato cristão da Disputa de Tortosa, redigido pelo escrivão papal, verifica-se a oposição aos polemistas judeus e à autoridade dos escritos do Talmude, que passou a ser visto como uma literatura em que se poderia encontrar a verdade cristã, bem como atestaria a vinda do Messias. Na averiguação desse conflito religioso ocorrido no reino de Aragão, faz uso de uma metodologia que se baseia na Análise do Discurso e, no pressuposto teórico de Roger Chartier acerca da representação do discurso cristão e da forma como este foi recebido pelos judeus. Aponta como resultados que o discurso de Jerônimo de Santa Fé, tendo o apoio de Benedito XIII, foi proferido na tentativa de dissuadir os judeus, ao se denegrir o Talmude, quanto à legitimidade da religião católica com vistas à afirmação da identidade cristã. O discurso de Jerônimo foi contestado pelos rabinos participantes do debate e a resposta judaica, referente à crítica cristã, foi apresentada com o objetivo de minimizar os efeitos devastadores para a crença judaica.

Full textAbstract:
The New Zealand Court of Appeal has recently acknowledged the existence of a freestanding tort of invasion of privacy in Hosking v Runting. The tort is in its infancy and the courts are still grappling with essential problems, the most prominent of which is the conflict with countervailing interests in freedom of speech. In need of guidance, the courts turn to overseas authorities, predominantly from the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The commonly found descriptive nature of the comparison invites a broader analysis of these jurisdictions. In this thesis, I offer a theoretically informed comparative law analysis of New Zealand's new tort with the American public disclosure of private facts tort and the British extended breach of confidence action. In all three jurisdictions, the conflict of privacy with individual and societal concerns in freedom of speech has led to an exten-sion of (quasi-) constitutional norms derived, for instance, from the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 into the common law sphere – the horizontal effect. The horizontal application of constitutional rights poses significant legal problems to the common law, because it has learned to deal with duties rather than rights. The time has come to re-consider the nature of rights in both constitutional and tort law. The comparison shows that New Zealand has effectively adopted two torts – one following the duty-based lead of the United States of America and an alternative modelled along the lines of the more rights-orientated British law. The law of the United Kingdom and the USA differ to a degree that calls their comparability into question. I present the preferable British ap-proach as a 'constitutionalised common law tort of privacy.' The results also show that this model represents a competitive third way to traditional solutions based on common law or statute by means of utilising a statutory human rights instrument as an analytical framework for the common law.

Full textAbstract:
I determined reliable methods for monitoring Sonoran populations of the desert tortoise. Tortoises were significantly clumped (p < 0.001) on three 1-mi² plots in Arizona, but were not significantly different from random (p > 0.05) on a 1-km² plot, supporting the use of smaller plots in mark-recapture population studies. Simulations showed that Program CAPTURE's Jackknife and Darroch estimators are robust to variations in capturability, which confound most commonly used estimators (e.g., Lincoln-Petersen). Mean capturability determines which estimator is most appropriate for a given population. These methods were applied to data from several tortoise populations. CAPTURE's Jackknife method estimated 70 tortoises/km² in a Mazatzal Mountain, Arizona, population surveyed during 1992. Density was corrected with the mean maximum distance moved method. Regression of CAPTURE estimates indicated two separate populations were stable or increasing from 1990 to 1992, while a third declined. Program JOLLY estimated high survivorship for these three populations (87-100%), but recruitment was lowest for the decreasing population (0-17 tortoises/year).

Full textAbstract:
The gopher tortoise is a land tortoise living in the southeastern United States. It is a species in decline and is listed as threatened or endangered in six different states. The gopher (as commonly referred) digs burrows that it uses for many reasons and spends most of its time underground. Problems occur when trying to estimate a population because a gopher tortoise digs more than one burrow. This thesis demonstrates an innovative way to survey and investigate a gopher tortoise burrow hole by using a multi-tracked remotely operated vehicle. The vehicle carried two cameras (fore and aft) and was equipped with a microphone and LED illumination. It has tracks on four sides to increase its propulsion ratio. Its performance was evaluated in a sand pit where parameters such as incline could be controlled, and in an actual tortoise burrow. This research was done in conjunction with the Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation Department.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the traditional opposition between a foundationalist and a coherentist account of justification. pointing to their inconveniences and showing why neither can make for an adequate theory of knowledge. It is suggested that, in order to overcome this opposition, it is required to build a holistic theory of belief that can support a holistic theory of justification. The paper has three parts. In the first one the author discusses the objections against foundationalism, focusing on the notion of basic belief and of non-doxastic justification. In the second part it is examined the objections against coherentism, focusing on the infinite regress of the requirement of epistemic ascent. Finally. in the third part the author analyzes the concept of belief and the way an interpreter attributes beliefs to an agent. It is also assessed to what extent it is possible to redefine the notion of basic belief, in order to place it in a proper theory of justification. Thea uthor suggests that the concept of belief emerges in an intersubjective and interpretative setting, the same which will permit the justification of beliefs.En este artículo, el autor examina la tradicional oposición entre el fundacionalismo y el coherentismo como teorías de la justificación, mostrando sus limitaciones y las razones por las que ninguna de ellas puede ser parte de una adecuada teoría del conocimiento. Se sugiere que, para superar esta oposición, es necesario desarrollar una teoría holista de la creencia que, a su vez, permita la elaboración de una teoría holista de la justificación. El artículo consta de tres partes. En la primera, el autor discute las objeciones contra el fundacionalismo, concentrándose en la noción de creencia básica y en la justificación no-doxástica. En la segunda, se examina las objeciones contra el coherentismo. concentrándose en el regreso al infinito del requisito de ascenso épistémico. Finalmente, en la tercera parte el autor aborda el concepto de creencia y la manera como un intérprete atribuye creencias a un agente. También se analiza hasta qué punto es posible reformular la noción de creencia básica con el fin de darle un lugar en una adecuada teoría de la justificación. El autor sugiere que el concepto mismo de creencia surge enun contexto intersubjetiva e interpretativo. siendo ese mismo contexto el que va a permitir la justificación de creencias.

Esta tese apresenta reflexões sobre a produção poética em portunhol do uruguaio Fabián Severo e do brasileiro Douglas Diegues. A poética em portunhol se insere na contemporaneidade entre as mais inovadoras formas do fazer literário, justificando estudos identificadores dessa construção sui generis que mescla a língua portuguesa e a língua espanhola ou, ainda, de sua vertente como portunhol selgavem, que acrescenta o guarani às outras duas. O portunhol emerge de forma híbrida e mestiça como uma língua anárquica, situando-se acima dos espaços geográficos e culturais, e circula muito além das fronteiras entre Brasil e Uruguai ou Brasil e Paraguai. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é demonstrar que o portunhol literário, fundado em uma língua híbrida e multifacetada, muito mais do que simplesmente uma vertente artística literária, também expressa um estilo de vida e uma cultura tangível, reflexo das diversas relações entre língua e sujeitos. As produções de Severo e Diegues traduzem uma desobediência à língua padrão de seus países e, sobretudo, uma experimentação de amalgamar o português, o espanhol e o guarani em uma única língua. A partir de tais elementos, procura-se desvendar as características dessa linguagem transfronteiriça, a par de analisar e discutir seus aspectos simbólicos e culturais, uma vez que a produção desses autores nos obriga a encarar o local e o global de uma forma bem diferente do tradicional. Partimos da premissa de que o portunhol extrapola a oralidade dos habitantes da fronteira para chegar à escrita poética, rompendo os modelos convencionais da linguagem e apresentando um universo particular em que não há regras, nem internas nem externas, a serem seguidas. Como fundamentação teórica, destacamos os estudos de Synesio Sampaio Goes Filho (2013), Lilia Moritz Schwarcz e Heloisa Murgel Starling (2015), John Holm (2000), Fernando Tarallo e Tania Alkmin (1987), Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari (1992), Mikhail Bakhtin (2002 e 2010), dentre tantos outros.

This thesis presents reflections on the poetic production, written in portunhol, of the Uruguayan Fabián Severo and the Brazilian Douglas Diegues. The poetics in portunhol is inserted in the contemporaneity among the most innovative forms of the literary practicing. It justifies studies on this sui generis construction that mixes the Portuguese and Spanish languages or, even, the portunhol selvagem, which adds the Guarani to the other two languages. The portunhol emerges in a hybrid and mestizo form as an anarchic language which surpasses geographic and cultural spaces and circulates far beyond the borders between Brazil and Uruguay or Brazil and Paraguay. The general objective of this research is to demonstrate that literary portunhol, which was founded in a hybrid and multifaceted language and is much more than simply an artistic literary aspect, also expresses a lifestyle and culture that are tangible – this reflects the different relationships between language and subjects. The productions of Severo and Diegues reflect a disobedience to the standard language of their countries and, above all, an experiment that amalgamates Portuguese, Spanish and Guarani in a single language. From these elements, we try to uncover the characteristics of this cross-border language, as well as to analyze and discuss its symbolic and cultural aspects, since the production of these authors forces us to face the local and the global in a very different way from the traditional. We start from the premise that portunhol extrapolates the orality of the inhabitants from the border to arrive at poetic writing, breaking the conventional models of language and presenting a particular universe in which there are no rules – neither internal nor external – to be followed. As a theoretical basis, we highlight the studies of Synesio Sampaio Goes Filho (2013), Lilia Moritz Schwarcz and Heloisa Murgel Starling (2015), John Holm (2000), Fernando Tarallo and Tania Alkmin (1987), Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1992), Mikhail Bakhtin (2002 and 2010), among many others.
