Written at a time of significant changes for women and for women writers in Queensland, Australia, Jay Verney's A Mortality Tale (1994), privileges women's experiences of place and seeks to redeem the feminine from its entrapment in masculine stories/discourses of self and place. This chapter draws on Julia Kristeva's conceptualisation of the semiotic as a way of reading Verney's witty and reflective re-articulation of phallocentric orderings of spatiality and gender.

Breast cancer incidence and mortality rates are increasing despite our current knowledge on the disease. Ninety-five percent of breast cancer cases correspond to sporadic forms of the disease and are believed to involve an interaction between environmental and genetic determinants. The microRNA 17–92 cluster host gene (MIR17HG) has been shown to regulate expression of genes involved in breast cancer development and progression. Study of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in this cluster gene could help provide a further understanding of its role in breast cancer. Therefore, this study investigated six SNPs in the MIR17HG using two independent Australian Caucasian case–control populations (GRC-BC and GU-CCQ BB populations) to determine association to breast cancer susceptibility. Genotyping was undertaken using chip-based matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). We found significant association between rs4824505 and breast cancer at the allelic level in both study cohorts (GRC-BC p = 0.01 and GU-CCQ BB p = 0.03). Furthermore, haplotypic analysis of results from our combined population determined a significant association between rs4824505/rs7336610 and breast cancer susceptibility (p = 5 × 10−4). Our study is the first to show that the A allele of rs4824505 and the AC haplotype of rs4824505/rs7336610 are associated with risk of breast cancer development. However, definitive validation of this finding requires larger cohorts or populations in different ethnical backgrounds. Finally, functional studies of these SNPs could provide a deeper understanding of the role that MIR17HG plays in the pathophysiology of breast cancer.

The current study analysed how the climbing perch Anabas testudineus an air-breathing freshwater fish make choice when a pair of food patches differing in the gain is presented. The results revealed no significant variation in the preference towards the patch of food material cumulated in one place over the same amount of food dispersed in a wider area and located at an equal distance. Additionally, enhancement of the value of dispersed or cumulated patch, by moving it towards the subject fish (spatial discounting) was also found to be ineffective in influencing the food patch utilisation in this species.

Juan Luis Vives como hombre de las letras, la filosofía, las humanidades y la educación en el Renacimiento, fue inspirador del presente trabajo de conclusión de la etapa formativa de la Licenciatura de Filosofía, pues sus ideas, sus escritos y sobre todo su vida son un modelo integral de pensamiento y de comportamiento que sigue actualmente vigente y puede brindar aportes al hombre del siglo XXI. El tema de estudio del presente trabajo es la filosofía educativa del valenciano, en el contexto de su pensamiento humanista y de las corrientes que conformaron la época renacentista.

Abstract: The present article discusses about the representation of Octavius, Mark Antony and Cleopatra in three coins, to reflect about how the ancient mintage contributed for these personages could shape their images to the populus romanus in general.

El presente trabajo se realizó en el parque Luis Alfonso Velásquez Flores de la ciudad de Managua. El propósito del estudio fue realizar una descripción florística y caracterización de la condición silvicultural de los árboles, que permita valorar el estado actual en que se encuentra la vegetación arbórea. La metodología utilizada fue el diseño y aplicación del inventario forestal censo, evaluando todos los árboles mayores de 10 cm de diámetro, incluyendo palmeras. Las variables medidas fueron: especies, diámetro de fuste, diámetro de copa, estado de la copa, raíces al descubierto, interferencia con cables eléctricos, daños mecánicos, requerimiento de manejo. En la composición florística se encontraron 778 árboles distribuidos en 33 especies y 17 familias, la especie más representativa fue el Tabebuia rosea con el 28%, y Manguifera indica 9 %, el 84 % de los individuos presentan diámetro de fuste menores de 40 cm, 78% diámetro de copa menores a 10 m, 56% se ubican en categorías de altura de 8 a <12 m, 69% presentó copa co mpleta, 51% no presentaron raíces al descubierto, el 79% no interfieren con cables eléctricos, el 85% presento daños mecánicos como heridas, quiebres de ramas y huecos, 62% de los árboles se consideran en buena condiciones, y el 94% requieren podas sanitarias y de formación. Con base a las condiciones silviculturales encontradas se dan algunas recomendaciones para el mejoramiento estético de los árboles del parque.
