Análise preliminar de um processo para identificação e alinhamento de seqüências homólogas para proteínas com estrutura resolvida.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar e fazer uma avaliação preliminar de um processo alternativo, denominado Sequences Homologue to the Query (Structure-having) Sequence-SH2Q, para elaboração de alinhamentos múltiplos semelhantes à aqueles relatados no HSSP. O processo aqui apresentado baseia-se em programas de domínio público para busca em bases de dados de sequências -Blast (Altschul et al., 1990, 1997) e para alinhamento múltiplo de sequências -ClustalW (Thompson et al., 1994) O critério para avaliação do mesmo é o grau de similaridade entre as medidas de Entropia Relativa, quando comparadas com os mesmos valores relatados pelo HSSP.

Antyk w prozie J. R. R. Tolkiena

Tolkien’s oeuvre and its problematic relationships with classical tradition serve in my paper as an illustration of the diverse approaches, methods, and styles of lecture concerning the nature of literary allusivity. As a point of departure in the paper has been taken the reflection on the common phrase about “antiquity in something” deployed broadly in the reception studies. T he questions raised here are as follows: what does precisely “in” mean in that metaphor? O r, to put it in more general terms, when an allusion to another text can be treated as an inherent part of interpretation? Answer to these questions was possible due to U mberto E co’s statements in the well-known dispute relating to the interpretation and overinterpretation; in conclusion I was trying to show that his criterion of textual economy in interpretation justifies somehow (as I believe) the new look on the essential T olkien’s symbol, i.e. the ring of power, as a symbol of the R oman imperial rule. This means (in the context of the translatio imperii and cultural change from pagan to Christian empire) that The Lord of the Rings can be seen in a way as a novelistic version of Augustine’s The City of God.

Federacja Rosyjska po wyborach do Dumy Państwowej 2007 r.

Wybory do Dumy Państwowej z 2007 r. nie zmieniły układu sił politycznych. Skład parlamentu pozostał prawie takim, jaki był przed wyborami. Jednak wyniki były dość ważne jako świadectwo stabilizacji systemu politycznego: kompozycja sił politycznych pozostała niezmieniona. Znaczenie Dumy, powołanej w toku wybor��w z grudnia 2007 r., prawdopodobnie będzie słabło. Parlament stał się jeszcze mniej samodzielny, jeszcze bardziej posłuszny wobec władzy wykonawczej. Można nawet pokusić się o stwierdzenie, że Duma rosyjska coraz to bardziej przypomina Radę Naczelną ZSRR do roku 1989.
