Finnish Kullervo and chinese martial arts stories

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 mediatização da atribuição de Autorização de Residência para Investimento pelo SEF

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.

Recurrent deletions and reciprocal duplications of 10q11.21q11.23 including CHAT and SLC18A3 are likely mediated by complex low-copy repeats.

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.

Resolución 49490 del 20 de agosto de 2014 ¿Es requisito para inscribir las actas de asamblea o junta de socios la indicación del número de acciones representadas en la reunión?

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.

Key Turning

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.

Values and the classroom teacher

This is a descriptive study of elementary school teachers' perceptions of values transmitted in classrooms. Through circulation of a survey to teachers in Public and Separate Schools in the "Golden I-Iorseshoe" distt-ict of SOLtthern Ontario (e}{clLtding Toronto), it was found that teachers do see themselves as promoting values which tend to be conceptual or knowledge-based and receptive and pertain to self-perception and personal growth. They also show a tendency t.o Lise nlore conceptL\al teachi ng strategies SLieri as discussiona The respondents had no clear opinion regarding student disposition toward values but did feel very influential in developing that disposition. Demographic factors of gender, age, teaching division and teaching experience affected the responses to the surveYa The study was undertaken to describe a very sensitive area in education in the hope of moving closer toward a more effective school system II.
