Gorie ot uma, de Aleksandr Gribóiedov tradução e aproximações / Gorie ot uma, de Aleksandr Griboiédov translation and approximations

Polyana de Almeida Ramos 15 March 2011 (has links)
O presente trabalho é composto pela apresentação de A inteligência, que desgraça! (1825), do dramaturgo russo Aleksandr Serguéievitch Griboiédov, do universo em que foi escrita, bem como a tradução da obra-prima ao português. Essa primeira tradução carrega os dilemas inerentes à grandiosidade da linguagem e, sendo assim, o primeiro passo, na tradução da obra ao português, segue o caminho do significado para que, no futuro, o significante, complexo e rico, possa ser focado. Depois, tomamos o caminho do Teatro Russo do século XVIII e início do século XIX, seu universo neoclássico, e, ao final, as transfigurações de A inteligência, que desgraça! aos modelos clássicos, essencialmente os conflitos provenientes das ações que trabalham, nas duas tramas principais, de maneira igual. / This present research is composed of a presentation of Gore ot uma (1825), by Russian playwright Aleksandr Griboedov, and of the universe in which it was written, as well as a first step in attempt of translating the masterpiece into Portuguese. This first translation embodies the dilemmas inherent to the greatness of the language and, therefore, the first step, for a translation of the masterpiece into Portuguese, follows the path of the signified, in order that, in the future, the signifier, rich and complex, may be focused. Afterwards, we take the path of Russian Theater from the Eighteenth century to the beginning of Nineteenth century, its neoclassical universe, and, in the end, in Gorie ot umas transfigurations to the classical patterns, essentially the conflicts originated by actions that work, in the two main plots, in a equal manner.

The Forgotten Third Branch: The Supreme Court, Public Opinion, and the Media

Pitchman, Adrien 01 January 2015 (has links)
The three branches of government rely on public engagement for the prosperity of the nation. Moreover, informed public opinion is a fundamental tenant of democracy. With that in mind, this paper aims to explore the relationship between the Judicial Branch and the public. Specifically, this paper examines and questions the Supreme Court’s efficacy communicating with the public. American constituents are inundated on a daily basis by the clamor of D.C. politics. The twenty four hour news cycle has given way to politicized headlines and exaggerated pundit commentary on contentious national issues. In a technological age where information is instant and the public has become accustomed to soundbites for education, the Supreme Court is left out of place. Both the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch converse directly with the public when necessary. Politicians frequently address their constituents or discuss complicated issues with voters first hand. However, the Supreme Court has rejected this strategy and instead relies almost exclusively on the press to relay their decisions. The judicial branch is the only third of our government without constant communication to the American people. As a result, the judiciary is relatively ignored by its citizens. By discussing a number of landmark cases since the turn of the century, this paper aims to analyze how those decisions were both announced to the public by the media and how the public received them. The Court has certainly adopted the press as an agent of communication. But is the media truly the proper outlet for the Court’s rulings?

Recognition Denied: An Examination of UK and US Foreign Policy towards the Republic of Croatia

Ljubic, Maria Christina 02 May 2013 (has links)
This thesis examines the development of decision making taken by two countries, the United Kingdom and the United States, in response to Croatia’s declaration of independence from Yugoslavia. The focus is on the recognition process and the reasoning and rationale used by the government officials and diplomats of the United Kingdom and United States to arrive at their policy decisions and opinions. The concentration is mainly on events from the early 1990s until mid 1992. Topics explored include matters such the politics behind non-recognition, democratic social norms, respect for human rights and Western national interests. The thesis first hypothesizes, then analyses, which International Relations theory, that is, realism or constructivism, possesses the best capacity explain why these nations initially withheld their recognition of Croatia’s independence before moving to accept the Republic of Croatia as an independent state. The role of the International Relations theories is to offer an interpretation and understanding of these events and decisions. Subsequently, they are judged on their ability to do so. The thesis finds that via the insight of scholars, analysts and theoretical perspectives that both the John Major government of the UK and the George H.W. Bush Administration of the United States behaved mostly according to realist principles, with some instances of constructivist manner. / Graduate / 0615 / 1616 / 0335 / cljubic9@gmail.com

Vliv velikosti defektu a operační techniky na dlouhodobou morbiditu dětí s vrozenou brániční kýlou / The influence of defect size and surgical technique on long-term morbidity in children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Rounová, Petra January 2013 (has links)
52 8 Summary The influence of defect size and surgical technique on the long-term morbidity of children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of diaphragm reconstruction using a synthetic non-absorbable patch from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Gore-Tex) and primary repair of diaphragm defects on the long-term morbidity in children after surgery of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), with a primary interest in the influence of these techniques on the occurrence of skeletal deformities and the development of pulmonary functions. One part of this study is to introduce a new objective method for perioperative evaluation of the size of diaphragmatic defects to enable comparison of results among various centres and methods used for diaphragmatic reconstruction. Another part of this study is to evaluate the validity of lung function assessment using four unique methods of Infant Pulmonary Function Tests (IPFT) in children under 13 kg of body weight. Material and Methods: A study of 69 patients operated on between 1996-2010 for CDH, in which the clinical part of the study was performed between the years 2009-2011. The clinical study evaluated anthropometric examination, pulmonary function testing and a questionnaire study which focused on long-term...

Blurred (County) Lines: A Comprehensive Analysis of Voting Patterns in Florida at the County and Regional Levels from 1950 to 2012

Yeargain, Tyler Q. 01 January 2015 (has links)
Over the last sixty years, voting patterns in the United States have changed dramatically, and this is especially true in the state of Florida. Though there is some literature in the field of political science that outlines the voting and election history of Florida and identifies some trends, this literature is extremely limited and is not comprehensive of the data that is available up to the present day. This study seeks to find Florida’s voting patterns and to explain how they can be understood by both the casual observer and the political scientist. To do so, unique methodology was applied that used the "relative margin" of both a county and a region in a particular election to give the Democratic nominee’s performance context both in the election in question and in history, by comparing the actual margin of victory or defeat of the Democratic nominee to the statewide margin of victory or defeat. This was an illuminating process that ultimately revealed some truths about the election history of Florida: the counties and regions most likely to vote for Democratic nominees in the 1950s and early 1960 are now among the least likely to do so, and the counties and regions most likely to vote for Republican nominees in the 1950s and early 1960s are now considered to be "swing" or "tossup" areas that are regularly and alternatively won by Democratic and Republican nominees. Additionally, the pattern of each region in how it voted in presidential elections was compared to forty seven other states in the country to provide further context as to how the election patterns can be understood in context.
