The intertextual pilgrimage to Compostela in the Spanish nineteenth-century travel narratives written in French

Pilgrimage to Compostela was decreasing in the nineteenth century. This situation was still worse in France, where the number of pilgrims dwindled dramatically. In fact, there are not many travel narratives in this period, as no relevant French author showed any interest in this religious event. An analysis of these works reveals that the worship to Santiago was somehow considered by these authors a mere historical remnant with an aura of prestige. They allow almost no space for factual descriptions, and therefore used documentary sources to discuss the topic in their own texts. As a consequence, their knowledge of this universe became indirect and intertextual.

L'effet des dividendes sur le rendement des titres : étude empirique canadienne (1977-1986)

Cette étude a pour objectif de voir en quoi, comment et pourquoi, les dividendes affectent le rendement des titres et, par ricochet, le prix de ceux-ci pour les firmes canadiennes cotées au Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) entre les années 1977 et 1986. La relation entre les dividendes et le rendement des titres a été expliquée aussi bien au point de vue théorique qu'empirique. Au niveau théorique, il y a deux thèses qui se sont opposées: la première thèse, développée par Gordon (1959, 1962), soutient la pertinence de la politique de dividende dans l'évaluation de la valeur de la firme; la deuxième thèse, avancée par Modigliani et Miller (1961), soutient que la politique de dividende n'affecte pas la valeur de la firme. Du point de vue empirique, la plupart des études ont expliqué la relation «rendement des titres - rendement en dividende» par l'effet informationnel ou par l'effet fiscal. Cette étude repose essentiellement sur l'effet fiscal (l'effet informationnel a été éliminé de la relation empirique testée pour qu'il n'y ait pas de confusion entre ces deux effets). Ainsi, les hypothèses principales de l'étude sont comme suit: 1) Existe-t-il une relation significative entre le rendement en capital des titres et le rendement en dividende? 2) Y a-t-il un effet de la clientèle; autrement dit, existe-t-il un groupe d'investisseurs situés dans les tranches d'imposition les plus élevées qui achèteraient des titres à faible rendement en dividende et vice versa? Les résultats de l'étude ont abouti à la confirmation de la première hypothèse pour l'ensemble de la période d'étude (1977-1986) et à la confirmation aussi de la seconde hypothèse, mais seulement pour la sous-période (1982-1986). Une explication à ces résultats pourrait être trouvée à la fois dans la politique de versement des dividendes des entreprises canadiennes entre 1977 et 1986, dans la législation fiscale canadienne (qui a favorisé le versement des dividendes en taxant les gains en capital à partir de 1972), et enfin, dans la nature des investisseurs opérant au Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) entre 1977 et 1986.

La relation entre la motivation et les perceptions affectivo-cognitives que l'élève du primaire a de sa famille

1986, année où se sont tenus, au Québec, les "États généraux sur la qualité de l'éducation". Parmi les questions soumises au débat, y figuraient encore les thèmes de l'enfance en difficulté, de l'échec et abandon scolaires, de l'inadaptation à l'école. Le problème n'est ni récent, ni unique. En effet, depuis 1909, où en France est adoptée une loi qui prévoit la mise en place de classes spécialisées pour les "écoliers anormaux" (Pinell et Zafiropoulos, 1978) jusqu'à ce jour, voici un domaine de l'éducation qui est objet de questionnements pour nombre de chercheurs, dans plusieurs pays. C'est dans cette foulée, et sous l'angle de l'adaptation scolaire perçue par le prisme de la motivation que s'inscrit cette recherche. Participant aux travaux en cours de Ruel et Lefebvre, ayant comme objet d'investigation les perceptions affectivo-cognitives que l'élève du primaire a de lui-même, de sa famille et de l'école, en tant que sources de motivation à l'adaptation et à l'apprentissage scolaires (Ruel, 1984), nous nous attacherons plus particulièrement à étudier et à analyser les deuxièmes et troisièmes volets de cette recherche, à savoir les perceptions de l'environnement familial (Ayse Diren) et de l'environnement école (Michel Fisch). Engagés et impliqués dans la même équipe de recherche, nous présentons dans nos mémoires respectifs, un certain nombre de parties qui ont été discutées et élaborées conjointement. […]

Un cineasta pintor : Jacques Demy

La inagotable unión de cine y pintura encuentra un maravilloso ejemplo en el cineasta de la Nouvelle Vague francesa: Jacques Demy. Director que da al color un uso primordial en cada una de sus películas, teniendo una importancia fundamental para el desarrollo de la trama y la psicología de los personajes. Este uso simbólico y psicológico del color hace que las reflexiones de Wasili Kandinsky estén presentes en los trabajos del realizador. Y como ejemplo, su fi lm más emblemático: Los paraguas de Cherbourgo, en el que además podemos encontrar claras referencias a pintores como Matisse o Vermeer.

A responsabilidade de traduzir o in-traduzível: Jacques Derrida e o desejo de [la] tradução

How should one consider the responsibility of the translator, who is located between the differences of two linguistic systems and in the middle of the various idioms constitute each of the languages involved in the translation? (P. Ottoni). What is the role of the translator in inter-acting with both his/her mother tongue and the idiom of the other? These two questions will be discussed in order to reflect on the responsibility of translating the un-translatable. Two hypotheses orient the paper: 1 - an idiom spoken idiomatically is known as the mother tongue and is not appropriated, so that accommodating the other in one's own language automatically considers his/her idiom (J. Derrida) and 2 - face-to-face with language and its idioms, the translator is trapped in a double (responsibility) bind; faced with something which cannot be translated, he/she is forced to perceive it in another way. In conclusion, how should one consider the responsibility of translating the un-translatable Jacques Derrida?

Causas do declínio acelerado da desnutrição infantil no Nordeste do Brasil (1986-1996-2006)

OBJETIVO: Descrever a variação temporal na prevalência de desnutrição infantil na região Nordeste do Brasil, em dois períodos sucessivos, identificando os principais fatores responsáveis pela evolução observada em cada período. MÉTODOS: Os dados analisados provêm de amostras probabilísticas da população de crianças menores de cinco anos estudadas por inquéritos domiciliares do programa Demographic Health Surveys realizados em 1986 (n=1.302), 1996 (n=1.108) e 2006 (n=950). A identificação dos fatores responsáveis pela variação na prevalência da desnutrição (altura para idade < -2 z) levou em conta mudanças na freqüência de cinco determinantes potenciais do estado nutricional, modelagens estatísticas da associação independente entre determinante e risco de desnutrição no início de cada período e cálculo de frações atribuíveis. RESULTADOS: A prevalência da desnutrição foi reduzida em um terço de 1986 a 1996 (de 33,9 por cento para 22,2 por cento ) e em quase três quartos de 1996 a 2006(de 22,2 por cento para 5,9 por cento ). Melhorias na escolaridade materna e na disponibilidade de serviços de saneamento foram particularmente importantes para o declínio da desnutrição no primeiro período, enquanto no segundo período foram decisivos o aumento do poder aquisitivo das famílias mais pobres e, novamente, a melhoria da escolaridade materna. CONCLUSÕES: A aceleração do declínio da desnutrição do primeiro para o segundo período foi consistente com a aceleração de melhorias em escolaridade materna, saneamento, assistência à saúde e antecedentes reprodutivos e, sobretudo, com o excepcional aumento do poder aquisitivo familiar, observado apenas no segundo período. Mantida a taxa de declínio observada entre 1996 e 2006, o problema da desnutrição infantil na região Nordeste poderia ser considerado controlado em menos de dez anos. ) Para se chegar a este resultado será preciso manter o aumento do poder aquisitivo dos mais pobres e assegurar investimentos públicos para completar a universalização do acesso a serviços essenciais de educação, saúde e saneamento

Increasingly inequitable distribution of general practitioners in Australia, 1986-96

Objective: To document trends in the distribution of general practitioners (GPs) in Australia between 1986 and 1996, adjusted for community need. Methods: Data on the location of GPs, population size and crude mortality in statistical divisions (SD) were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census of Population and Housing in 1986 and 1996. From these data, we calculated measures of distribution equality (number of people sharing each GP in each SD) and distribution equity (number of people sharing each GP divided by the crude mortality rate; the Robin Hood Index), and analysed temporal changes in the distribution of GPs. Results: Nationally the number of people sharing each GP fell 11% from 1,038 in 1986 to 921 in 1996. However, in 41 of 57 SDs (72%, p=0.01) the number of people sharing a GP actually increased over this time, and the average Robin Hood Index across SDs fell from 0.943 to 0.783 (p=0.004), indicating increasingly inequitable distribution. Comparing the Robin Hood index values of all SDs ranked in pairs, the value fell in 53 of 57 (93%, p<0.001) paired SDs over the decade. These patterns demonstrate increasing inequity over the decade. The number of people sharing each GP was consistently and substantially lower in the capital city SDs and the Robin Hood Index values were consistently and substantially higher (overserved) compared with country SDs. Conclusions: Despite there being more GPs per capita in Australia, their distribution became increasingly unequal and inequitable between 1986 and 1996, such that rural and remote areas became increasingly poorly served.

Description of the immature stages of Notalina morsei Holzenthal, 1986 (Trichoptera : Leptoceridae) and an updated key to larvae of Neotropical Leptoceridae genera

The endemic Neotropical long-horned caddisfly subgenus Notalina (Neonotalina) Holzenthal contains nine described species, but its immature stages are unknown. In this paper the larvae and pupae of Notalina morsei Holzenthal 1986 from southeastern Brazil are described and illustrated. Larvae of the subgenus are easily recognized from other Neotropical leptocerids by the following characters: ventral apotome which is broad anteriorly and narrow posteriorly; the metanotum with three sclerites; the metasternum bearing 10-12 setae; the gill arrangement, usually including ventral and dorsal filaments from abdominal segments II to VI; and abdominal tergite IX with 6 long and 4 short setae. An updated key to known larvae of Neotropical Leptoceridae genera is provided.

Out of the shadows: The critical sociology of sport in Australia, 1986 to 1996

The sociology of sport in Australia has reached a key point in its development. A critical tradition in the subdiscipline has been established over the last decade, but its intellectual and institutional progress has been uneven. This article briefly traces the emergence of critical sports sociology in a country outside the major centers in the UK and U.S., its break with functionalist approaches, and its attempts to overcome the neglect of local mainstream sociology. The authors proceed to examine (self-reflexively) the changes of theoretical direction and the new lines of research that are being explored in the field. A recent ''skirmish'' with narrative history over the preferred theories and methods in sports analysis is discussed as illustrative of the difficulties encountered by an energetic but small, dispersed and underorganized scholarly movement in Australia.
