Nourishing the Self: Cookbooks as Autobiography

Barlow, Rebecca Quist 09 March 2012 (has links)
Though casual readers may often assume cookbooks are primarily reference materials,cookbooks actually offer readers a type of autobiography; I examine cookbooks as literary autobiographical acts by analyzing three celebrity chefs' cookbooks and the recent film, Julie and Julia. Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, illustrates several key autobiographical ideas, specifically Barthes' ideas of readerly and writerly texts and the distinction between an author and a persona. The film acts as a visual representation of the way a reader engages with a text and makes it a writerly text while successfully distinguishing between an author and a persona/narrator. After a brief review of autobiography theory through Julie and Julia, the three selected authors' work further magnifies the ideas. The first celebrity chef, David Lebovitz, uses a highly narrative style and incorporates numerous autobiographical details into his books. The second, Ina Garten, utilizes different methods of creating a persona, including photography. The third chef, Dorie Greenspan, uses the same methods used by Lebovitz and Garten, but has been replicated extensively in online baking groups, making her texts ideal for understanding the role of the reader in an autobiography. The work of these three authors illustrates well how autobiographies function and how readers can reiterate their own autobiographies through the books and food they consume.

Variante in die poesie van Ina Rousseau

Kleyn, Shane Jean 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: “A verse might be complete, but then I fiddle with it again and it is not complete anymore,” Ina Rousseau says in an interview. When one compares poems from her Versamelde gedigte 1954-1984 and Die stil middelpunt with their predecessors in magazines and in her volumes of poetry, one sees that Rousseau often made revisions. Over the years her poetry has come into being like a “living organism”. It reminds one of the rewritings of Martinus Nijhoff. This study aims to discuss the variants in the poetry of Ina Rousseau, by means of a variant system that unlocks the printing history of all 253 published poems. My discussion focuses on 17 poems (at least one from each volume of poetry) that is printed in full in the variant edition. I’ve used supplement material and reception texts to give the reader a perspective on Rousseau as poet, and the involvement of other roll players. By bringing in these secondary texts I aim to situate the poem discussions and try to show that theme and textgenesis should not be viewed as separate entities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: “’n Vers kan miskien afgerond wees en dan gaan peuter ek weer aan hom en dan is hy nie meer afgerond nie,” sê Ina Rousseau in ’n onderhoud. Wanneer ’n mens dan gedigte uit haar Versamelde gedigte 1954-1984 en Die stil middelpunt vergelyk met vroeër weergawes in tydskrifte en in bundels, sien ’n mens dat sy lief was daarvoor om veranderinge aan te bring. Haar poësie, wat deur die jare soos ’n “lewende organisme” tot stand gekom het, herinner aan die verbete herdigtings van Martinus Nijhoff. Hierdie studie het ten doel om die variante in die poësie van Ina Rousseau van naderby te beskou aan die hand van ’n variante-apparaat wat die volledige drukgeskiedenis van 253 gedigte ontsluit. My bespreking fokus op 17 gedigte (minstens een uit elke bundel) wat volledig in ’n variante-edisie afgedruk staan. Ek gebruik ook aanvullende materiaal en resepsietekste om die leser ’n perspektief op Rousseau se digterskap en die betrokkenheid van ander rolspelers te gee. Deur die byhaal van hierdie sekondêre bronne probeer ek om die gedigbesprekings te situeer en te toon dat tematiek en teksontwikkeling nie losmaaklik van mekaar is nie.

Pohybová výkonnost mladších dorostenek v házené u vybraného družstva SCM / Younger Junior Woman's Movement Output in Handball with Selected Team SCM

Kastnerová, Eva January 2011 (has links)
Title: Younger Junior Women's Movement Output in Handball with a Selected Team SCM. Objectives : The Aim of the thesis is a result analysis of SCM member's compulsory testing of movement output in handball together with considering the effectivity of the load. Methods: We used methods of analysis and comparison in our work. The method of analysis was applied when analysing each of the disciplines, and the method of comparison was used in the part where we compared the disciplines of the testing set, and in the part where we compared the members. The comparison was also applied in the part where average values needed to be compared. Results: We have found out that the influence of the training did not cause expected rise of physical condition. We have concluded from the results of the training set. During the two-year cycle in which we monitored the amount of load of the training unit the physical condition fell. Keywords: movement abilities, condition, junior age, diagnosis in handball, testing unit.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-28T20:17:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 2007 - Antonia Regina Sessa da Silva.pdf: 384094 bytes, checksum: 91d2147f8402249dead112e338e89b66 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-03-30 / Brazil has currently the second bigger flock of equines of the world and the brazilian equines breeding plays an important role in the development of the sector of agribusiness. Among the infectious disease that affect the national equines breeding, the Equine infectious anemia (EIAV) has been shown of difficult control. The Equine infectious anemia is caused by a retrovirus, it has a worldwide distribution, and it is recognized as the most important disease of equines. The most common clinical signals in the acute phase, are anemia followed of jaundice in the mucosae, ventral oedema, mioglobinury, caquexy and, mainly, intermittent fever. Once it has no treatment, Ministry of Agriculture, Cattle and Supplying determines, through legal mechanisms, a politics of obligatory examination in credentialed laboratories, for the transport and commercialization of equines in the country. The examination is based on the test of Coggins, an immunodiffusion in agar gel (IDGA) of the serum of the animal tested against antigen of the EIAV. As the infection is lifetime, positive animals are euthanasiated by Veterinarians of the Ministry of Agriculture. Considering that precision of the results is critical, once that false positives animals could uselessly be sacrificed, and false negatives will be preserved as infection source, diverse problems may occur, appeared the interest of a systematic analysis of the reproducibility of kits and on possible sources of error. For this purpose, positive and negative sera, referred by the repetition of the tests for Coggins and ELISA, had been evaluated by IDGA comparatively with three kits of different manufacturers. In the experiments of reproducibility, it observed a great distinction in the quality of the precipitation line promoted for the positive sera in the tests. This phenomenon may be justified by the use of the conditions techniques legal, determined for would carry of the Ministry of Agriculture that is distinct of the recommendation of the analyzed manufacturers of two of kits. Exactly thus, the evaluation of the reproducibility of the results of kits with the referred sera showed high correlation. / O Brasil possui atualmente o segundo maior rebanho de eq??deos do mundo e a Eq?ideocultura Brasileira desempenha um importante papel no desenvolvimento do setor de agroneg?cios. Entre as doen?as infecciosas que afetam a eq?inocultura nacional, a Anemia Infecciosa dos Eq?inos (AIE) tem se mostrado de dif?cil controle. A AIE ? causada por um retrov?rus, apresenta uma distribui??o mundial, e ? reconhecida como a mais importante doen?a dos eq?inos. Entre os sinais cl?nicos mais comuns, na fase aguda da doen?a, encontram-se a anemia seguida de icter?cia nas mucosas, edema ventral, mioglobin?ria, caquexia e, principalmente, febre intermitente. Como n?o h? tratamento, Minist?rio da Agricultura, Pecu?ria e Abastecimento (MAPA) determina, atrav?s de mecanismo legais, uma pol?tica de exame obrigat?rio em laborat?rios credenciados, para o transporte e comercializa??o de eq??deos no Pa?s. O exame ? baseado na prova de Coggins, uma imunodifus?o em ?gar gel do soro do animal testado contra ant?geno do v?rus da AIE. Como a infec??o ? vital?cia, animais soropositivos s?o eutanasiados por M?dicos Veterin?rios do MAPA. Considerando que a precis?o dos resultados ? cr?tica, posto que animais falso positivos podem ser sacrificados inutilmente, e falso negativos preservados como fonte de infec??o, surgiu o interesse de um an?lise sistem?tica da reprodutibilidade dos kits e poss?veis fontes de erro no diagn?stico. Para esta finalidade, soros positivos e negativos, referenciados pela repeti??o dos testes de Coggins e ELISA, foram avaliados pela prova de IDGA, comparativamente com tr?s kits de diferentes fabricantes. Nos experimentos de reprodutibilidade, observou-se uma grande distin??o na qualidade da linha de precipita??o promovida pelos soros positivos nos testes nos diferentes kits. Este fen?meno pode ser justificado pela utiliza??o das condi??es t?cnicas legais, determinadas por portaria do MAPA, que s?o distintas das recomenda??es dos fabricantes de dois dos kits analisados. Mesmo assim, a avalia??o da reprodutibilidade dos resultados dos kits com os soros referenciados mostrou elevada correla??o.

EL ESPACIO UBICUO La idea de espacio arquitectónico derivado de la implementación de las tecnologías de Inteligencia Ambiental

Cerdá Pérez, Manuel 05 April 2016 (has links)
[EN] This work is aimed to interpret, analyse and know which are the conceptual bases that nowadays define the idea of space in architecture, the contemporary ways of dwelling, through the analysis on a specific pattern, the ubiquitous space. This tries to reveal a new way to understand space, which has arisen from what today is shaped as "the new paradigm", associated to the Information and Communications Technology era (ICT). The intention of this work has been born with a proposing vision. Not a historiographic one. The interest lies in getting deeper in the present to reveal known data -although they are not yet assumed or sufficiently applied-, which will lead to propose a working system that develops in practice the essence of dwelling today. Through the definition of this ubiquitous space, an objective pattern of space in harmony with our era will be exposed, as a proposal to develop today a really contemporary architecture. This work is born as a personal investigation project, the one of an architect who builds and who, according to his way of facing the materialization of reality, searches to set up a working method arisen from the project, and adding to it the virtual condition under a real and pragmatic vision of it. For this, a specific project of architecture is chosen as a study case, UBITAT 1.0. Mainly, its analysed parameters will be the ones that gave origin to this project, now extended, modified or renewed according to the needs of investigation required by each moment. They will be a guide to extract a global depiction of the object of study -space-, which will allow its application to other settings with the only aim to answer the key question of this work: What are the characteristics that define today's space and, therefore, what does it mean to dwell today? / [ES] Mediante este trabajo se busca interpretar, analizar y conocer las bases conceptuales que definen hoy la idea de espacio en arquitectura, los modos de habitación contemporáneos, a través del análisis sobre un modelo concreto, el del espacio ubicuo, que intenta desvelar un nuevo modo de entender el espacio derivado de lo que se configura hoy como el "nuevo paradigma", asociado a la era de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). La intención del trabajo es propositiva. No historiográfica. El interés reside en profundizar en el presente, para revelar datos conocidos pero aún no asumidos o suficientemente aplicados, que nos puedan llevar a proponer un sistema de trabajo que desarrolle en la práctica la esencia del habitar hoy. A través de la caracterización de dicho espacio ubicuo se intentará exponer un modelo objetivo de espacio acorde a nuestra era, como propuesta para desarrollar hoy una arquitectura realmente contemporánea. Este trabajo nace como un proyecto de investigación personal, de un arquitecto que construye, y que según su manera de abordar la materialización de la realidad, busca plantear un método de trabajo derivado del proyectual, añadiendo a éste la condición virtual, bajo una visión real y pragmática del mismo. Para ello se elige un proyecto de arquitectura concreto como caso de estudio, UBITAT 1.0, cuyos parámetros analizados serán principalmente los que dieron origen al mismo, ahora ampliados, modificados o renovados según el curso que la investigación demande en cada momento. Servirán como guía para extraer una caracterización global del objeto de estudio, el espacio, que permita ser aplicado en otros escenarios con la intención de responder en cualquier situación a la pregunta clave de este trabajo: ¿Qué características definen al espacio hoy y qué significa, por ello, habitar, hoy? / [CA] Amb aquest treball busquem interpretar, analitzar i esbrinar les bases conceptuals que defineixen avuí en dia la idea d'espai en arquitectura, els modes d'habitatge contemporanis, mitjançant l'anàlisi sobre un model concret, el d'espai ubicu, que intenta desvetllar/caracteritzar una nova manera d'entendre l'espai derivat d'allò que es configura recentment com el "nou paradigma", associat a l'era de les tecnologies de la informació i la comunicació (TIC). La intenció del treball sorgeix amb una visió propositiva. No historiogràfica. L'interés resideix en aprofundir en el present, per revelar dades conegudes, però encara no asumides o allò suficientment aplicades, que ens duen a proposar un sistema de treball que desenvolupe en la pràctica l'essència de l'habitar avuí. A través de la caracterització d'aquest espai ubicu, es tractarà d'exposar un model objectiu d'espai d'acord a la nostra època, com a proposta per desenvolupar avuí una arquitectura realment contemporània.

Per a tal fi, es tria un projecte d'arquitectura concret com a cas d'estudi, UBITAT 1.0, els paràmetres del qual analitzats seran conductors de l'orige d'aquest treball, ara ampliats, modificats i renovats segons el curs que la recerca demanda en cada moment.

Impact of mixed solvent on co-crystal solubility, ternary diagrams and crystallisation scale-up. Crystallisations of Isonicotinamide ¿Benzoic Acid Co-crystals from Ethanol ¿Water Co-solvent System.

Redha, Batul H. January 2012 (has links)
The production of stable solid crystalline material is an important issue in the pharmaceutical industry and the challenge to control the desired active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with the specific chemical and physical properties has led to more development in the drug industry. Increasing the solubility and the dissolution of the drug will increase its bioavailability; therefore the solubility can be improved with the change in the preparation method. The formation of co-crystals has emerged as a new alternate to the salts, hydrates and solvate methods since the molecules that cannot be formed by the usual methods might crystallise in the form of co-crystals. Co-crystals are multicomponent crystals which can be known as supramolecules and are constructed by the non covalent bonds between the desired former and co-former. Therefore the synthon approach was utilised to design co-crystals with the specific properties, this involves the understanding of the intermolecular interactions between these synthons. These interaction forces can be directed to control the crystal packing in the design of the new crystalline solid with the desired chemical and physical properties. The most familiar synthon was the amide group with its complementary carboxylic group, in this work isonicotinamide and benzoic acid were chosen to design co-crystal and much literature exist that introduce the determination of co-crystal growth from these two compounds. The growth of co-crystals was carried out in water, ethanol and ethanol / water mixed solvent (30 - 90 % ethanol) by utilising the Cryo-Compact circulator. Co-crystals (1:1) and (2:1) were grown in ethanol and water respectively and a mixture of both phases were grown in the mixed solvent. All the phases were examined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman, Infrared and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The solubility of isonicotinamide, benzoic acid, co-crystals (1:1) and (2:1) in water, ethanol and ethanol/water mixed solvent (30 - 90 % ethanol) were determined at 25 °C, 35 °C and 40 °C by utilising the React-Array Microvate. It was important to understand some of the thermodynamic factors which control the formation of these polymorphs such as the change in the enthalpy and the change in the entropy. Also it was important to study the pH behaviour during dissolution of the former, co-former and co-crystals in water, ethanol and ethanol/water mixed solvent (30 - 90 % ethanol) in-order to examine the affect of the solvent composition on the solubility and to identify if some ions were formed during the dissociation and how this could affects the formation of co-crystals. A discussion has been introduced in this research of how similar solubility of the compounds maps the formation of the typical ternary phase diagram of the mixture of 1:1 while compounds with different solubility maps the formation of skewed phase diagram as shown in section 1.6.2.3. In this project an isotherm ternary phase diagram at 20 °C and 40 °C was constructed to map the behaviour of benzoic acid and isonicotinamide and to show all possible phases formed and the regions where all phases are represented in the ternary phase diagram were determined by the slurry method. The ternary phase diagram was used to design a drawn out and cooling crystallisation at 100 cm3 solution of 50 % ethanol / water mixed solvent and a study of the impact of seeds of co-crystals 1:1 on the cooling crystallisation method.

The farm a hippie commune as a countercultural diaspora

Mercer, Kevin 01 May 2012 (has links)
Counterculture history is often divided, with a focus on either the turbulent 1960s or the "back to the land" exodus of the 1970s. A study of Stephen Gaskin and his followers' founding of The Farm, a rural commune near Summertown, Tennessee, provides a unique insight into the commonalities and connections of these two periods. It will be the aim of this thesis to weave the separate narratives of this demographic into one complete idea. The idea that the hippies constituted a counterculture suggests that once that culture went into exile, onto numerous communes, they existed as a diaspora. The Farm's existence as a spiritual commune, with their roots in Haight-Ashbury's short-lived utopian dream, and their continuation and evolution of that dream in Tennessee, make this particular group a model for the diaspora. The Farm, with its larger profile, publishing, and outreach programs, became the preeminent post-Haight-Ashbury commune. The commune was able to preserve the counterculture in exile, while it became a leader in dictating the direction of its progress. The Farm's efforts in midwifery, sustainable living, promotion of vegetarian diets, and outreach in America's inner cities and the Third World all point to a proactive counterculture and the commune's leadership role for the remnants of the counterculture. While the profile of the counterculture has diminished, a shift in American attitudes toward natural childbirth, ecology, and a more earth-friendly diet containing a greater variety of organic and vegetarian options reveal a significant success for their agenda.
