This research aims, through performance, fashion photography, video making and the theatrical devices that accompany such practice, to explore the style of a contemporary, largely male, subcultural collective. The common term that joins these loosely bound groups is revival as they appear driven by an impulse to simulate and re-enact the dress, rites and rituals of British and American subcultures from a perceived golden era. The similarities with re-enactment societies are also explored and exploited to the end of developing new style- based aesthetics in male fashion image-making formed around an elaborate re- enactment of Spartacus and the Third Servile Wars. Examined through comparative visuals (revivalists / re-enactors) a common thread is found in the wearing of leather as a metaphor for resistance, style and a pupa-like second skin. Subsequent findings of this research suggest that the cuirass of popular culture emerges as the motorcycle jacket of both the sword and sandal epic and the historical re-enactor. Addressing extremes in narcissistic dress and behaviour amongst certain individuals within these older male communities, this study also questions parts of established theory on subcultural development within the field of cultural studies and postulates on a metaphorical dandy gene. Citing two leading practitioners in the field of fashion photography the work of both Richard Prince and Bruce Weber is viewed through the lens of the subcultural aesthete and conclusions drawn as to their role as agents provocateurs in the development of the fashion image with a revival based narrative. In addition the often used term retro is examined, categorised and granted its own genre within fashion image- making and defined as being separate from the practice element of this research. Reflecting a multi-disciplinary approach that engages the researcher as Bricoleur and participant observer this research operates in the reflexive realm and uses simulation as a key method of enquiry. The practice-led outcome of this investigation takes the form of a final research exhibition that takes the form of a substantial installation of photography, video, clothing and textile prints. Key terms: dandy gene, historical re-enactment groups, internal theatre, narcissism, narrative image-making, reflexive practice, revival as theatre, subcultures,

Microalgae are a diverse group of organisms that form the basic component of many eco- systems. The systemic classification of algae is primarily based on their pigment composition and is divided into nine classes. The largest groups are Chlorophyceae (green algae), Phaeophyceae (brown algae), Pyrrophyceae (dinoflagellates), Chrysophyceae (golden brown algae), Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) and Rhodo phyceae (red algae). It has been estimated that between 22,000 and 26,000 species exist (Norton et al., 1996), of which only a few species have been identified to be useful for commercial application, such as Spirulina, Chlorella, Haematococcus, Dunaliella, Botryococcus, Phaeodactylum and Porphyridium. Several other species that are also cultivated commercially for the hatcheries in the aquaculture field include Chaetoceros, Crypthecodinium, Isochrysis, Nannochloris, Nitzschia, Schizochytrium, Tetraselmis and Skeletonema (Raja et al., 2008).

Introduction: There are many important Finnish plays but, due to language barrier, Finnish drama is seldom exported, particularly to Hong Kong and China.. Objective: To find out differences in mentality between the Finnish and Chinese peoples by comparing the partially localized Chinese translation of Aleksis Kivi’s tragedy, Kullervo, with genuine Chinese martial arts literature. Methodology: 1. Chapman Chen has translated the Finnish classic, Kullervo, directly from Finnish into Chinese and published it in 2005. 2. In Chen’s Chinese translation, cultural markers are domesticated. On the other hand, values, characterization, plot, and rhythm remain unchanged. 3. According to Gideon Tory, the translator has to strike a golden mean between the norms of the source language and the target language. 4. Lau Tingci lists and explicates the essential components of martial arts drama. 5. According to Ehrnrooth’s “Mentality”, equality is the most important value in Finnish culture. Findings: i. Finland emphasizes independence while China emphasizes bilateral relationships. ii. The Finnish people loves freedom, but Gai Sizung argues that the Chinese people is slavish. iii. Finns are mature while many Chinese are, according to Sun Lung-kee (“The Deep Structure of Chinese Culture”; “The Deep Structure of Chinese Sexuality”), fixated at the oral and anal stages. iv. Finnish society highly values equality while Chinese interpersonal relationships are extremely complicated and hierachical. If Kullervo were a genuine Chinese kungfu story, the plot would be much more convoluted. Conclusion: The differences between Finnish and Chinese mentalities are so significant that partially localized or adapted Chinese translations of Finnish drama may still be able to introduce Finnish culture to the Chinese audience.

A economia portuguesa tem contado com o investimento estrangeiro como um factor relevante de crescimento, mas nos anos recentes este conheceu valores anormalmente baixos. As novas normas legais sobre o denominado Golden Visa, ao permitir a atribuição de vistos a investidores estrangeiros, com condições especiais e a possível atribuição de nacionalidade portuguesa, decorridos cinco anos, vem captar investimento estrangeiro de países não europeus, chamados de países terceiros. O Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF) é um dos serviços públicos de grande importância no desenvolvimento e aplicação de mecanismos, no que respeita à imigração em Portugal. No decorrer do tempo, cada vez mais esta instituição tem uma voz ativa nas questões relacionadas com a entrada e saída de cidadãos estrangeiros, em território nacional. Em Portugal existem várias políticas de integração dos imigrantes, bem como noutros países. Portanto, neste estudo pretendemos expor algumas políticas adotadas pelo Estado português, com base em três níveis evidentes: o social, o laboral e o educativo. A nível humanitário, o nosso estudo também demonstra extrema preocupação com as pessoas estrangeiras, uma vez que cada vez mais são aprovadas leis para a proteção dos cidadãos imigrantes no país, como: a discriminação, a inclusão social, as organizações não-governamentais, o asilo e a proteção internacional. Na Constituição da República Portuguesa, a discriminação é condenável e não é aceite, pois todos têm igual acesso aos direitos sociais, económicos e culturais por parte dos cidadãos de grupos desfavorecidos, como por exemplo os imigrantes e as minorias étnicas. Para a economia da nossa reflexão a inclusão social, importa realçar exemplos mais marcantes de programas e iniciativas públicos para a integração social, a nível das políticas sociais e de emprego, que em Portugal são tuteladas pelos Ministérios da Solidariedade, Emprego e Segurança Social, e da Educação. No caso português é grande o número de organizações nãogovernamentais a trabalhar com a imigração. A maior parte destas organizações situam-se nas zonas e bairros mais problemáticos, onde o número de cidadãos imigrantes é mais elevado, e trabalham os problemas concretos existentes nestas populações. Existem outras ONG que trabalham a nível nacional e que funcionam como grupos de pressão, promovendo os direitos dos imigrantes e lutando contra o racismo e a discriminação. No decorrer dos tempos, o avanço tecnológico veio também contribuir para um melhor controlo e funcionamento do hoje designado Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF) e, consequentemente, para um tratamento mais célere e eficiente dos serviços que tratam o fenómeno da imigração. A eficácia dos S.E.F. muito deve a uma progressiva dotação de equipamentos eletrónicos, para poder desempenhar melhor as suas funções em território nacional; mas sem nunca esquecer o potencial humano existente.

We report 24 unrelated individuals with deletions and 17 additional cases with duplications at 10q11.21q21.1 identified by chromosomal microarray analysis. The rearrangements range in size from 0.3 to 12 Mb. Nineteen of the deletions and eight duplications are flanked by large, directly oriented segmental duplications of >98% sequence identity, suggesting that nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) caused these genomic rearrangements. Nine individuals with deletions and five with duplications have additional copy number changes. Detailed clinical evaluation of 20 patients with deletions revealed variable clinical features, with developmental delay (DD) and/or intellectual disability (ID) as the only features common to a majority of individuals. We suggest that some of the other features present in more than one patient with deletion, including hypotonia, sleep apnea, chronic constipation, gastroesophageal and vesicoureteral refluxes, epilepsy, ataxia, dysphagia, nystagmus, and ptosis may result from deletion of the CHAT gene, encoding choline acetyltransferase, and the SLC18A3 gene, mapping in the first intron of CHAT and encoding vesicular acetylcholine transporter. The phenotypic diversity and presence of the deletion in apparently normal carrier parents suggest that subjects carrying 10q11.21q11.23 deletions may exhibit variable phenotypic expressivity and incomplete penetrance influenced by additional genetic and nongenetic modifiers.

La Cámara de Comercio se abstuvo de registrar el acta de asamblea general de accionistas de la sociedad GOLDEN MEDICAL GROUP COLOMBIA SAS, por medio de la cual se nombraba el revisor fiscal y se aceptaba la renuncia del suplente del gerente. Esta decisión se fundamentó en 2 motivos: (1) No se indicó de manera clara el número de acciones representadas en la reunión. (con fundamento en los artículos 22 de la Ley 1258/08 y la ley 222/95) y (2) A título de recomendación: que por prohibición expresa del código, no es viable dejar un cargo de representación legal vacante, en consecuencia, debe o eliminarse el cargo, lo que acarrea una reforma estatutaria, o nombrar a alguien en dicho cargo.

As part of the Official Opening of Brock University, General Vanier unlocked the main doors to the Glenridge Campus with a golden key. It is interesting to note that the Governor General did not proceed to push open the doors, citing "that [it] was not in the script". Instead Madame Vanier instictively pushed open the doors herself moments later. The man just visible in the right edge of the photo is E. R. Davey, chairman of the property and building committee of the Brock University Founders' Committee. The Governor General can be seen turning the key.
