Traduction et américanité dans Le Désert Mauve de Nicole Brossard

Este estudo sobre o romance Le Désert mauve, da escritora quebequense Nicole Brossard, foi desenvolvido tendo, como instrumentos de análise, a tradução e a identidade da América ou a americanidade. Esses temas foram determinados levando-se em conta a estrutura e o tema da obra, focalizados na figura do(a) tradutor(a), figura essa representativa da era pós-moderna. Os aspectos relacionados às questões feministas foram, até certo ponto, também abordados, principalmente pelo fato de a autora ocupar posição de destaque no meio feminista. Tendo-se em vista as especificidades do corpus, apresentamos, em um primeiro capítulo, uma contextualização do Quebec, abordando a literatura, o pós-modernismo e o feminismo quebequenses. O segundo capítulo é dedicado à obra brossardiana e seu impacto sobre o meio litérario, a partir do Quebec. Nossa análise propriamente dita do romance é apresentada no terceiro capítulo. Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre a problemática da tradução partindo-se de uma abordagem transcultural, isto é, dando-se ênfase à transformação que ela provoca. Esses traços do « novo » serão colocados em diálogo com os elementos próprios da América, como as referências culturais, a mescla de gêneros, a linguagem dos espaços abertos, as utopias, as buscas. Nosso estudo fundamenta-se basicamente nas teorias de Julia Kristeva, no que diz respeito à linguagem, ao texto; nas teorias de Henri Meschonnic e Sherry Simon, para os estudos da tradução e de Gérard Bouchard, quanto às questões que se referem à americanidade.

Au f. 36, une main du XIIIe s. a ajouté un passage du traité de Gerbert intitulé "Scholium ad Boethii Arithmeticam Institutionem".

Petrus Lombardus, Collectanea in epistolas Pauli.

Au contreplat sup. figure la signature de Claude Joly, suivie de la mention "nov. 1667". Ce ms. a appartenu à la bibliothèque du chapitre de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, dont il porte l'ex-libris "A la bibliotheque de l'Eglise de Paris" au contreplat sup. (XVIIe s.). Notre-Dame.

Evangelia quattuor.

Ce ms. renferme la lettre de saint Jérôme au pape Damase, "Beato papae Damaso..." (1-3v), sa préface "Plures fuisse" (4-6r), les tables de concordances évangéliques (6v-14r), les textes des quatre Évangiles accompagnés des préfaces, prologues et sommaires (14v-213v), ainsi que le Capitulare evangeliorum ou liste des péricopes évangéliques (214-231v). En marge des Évangiles, numérotation des chapitres des sommaires à l'encre rouge et indication des concordances évangéliques à l'encre brune. Entre les ff. 61 et 66, 96- 101, 155-160v et 204v-208v (c'est-à-dire dans les passages correspondant à la Passion dans chacun des quatre Evangiles), de petites lettres à l'encre rouge orangé (a, c, m) introduisent les différents protagonistes du discours, le m désignant le Christ, le c Pilate et le a le narrateur. Au f. 155, le m est partiellement développé sous la forme "mans.". Ces indications nous renseignent sur les pratiques de la lecture liturgique, qui s'effectuait à plusieurs voix. Nombreuses corrections marginales ou interlinéaires à l'encre rouge ou noire, mots à corriger parfois surlignés en couleur (cf. "aliquid" f. 76v surligné en violet), mots réécrits par-dessus grattage aux ff. 115v-116 (par le copiste E).Dans le Capitulare evangeliorum, on remarquera, parmi un sanctoral à dominante romaine, la présence de deux saints mérovingiens du Hainaut, saint Ursmer, fêté le 18 avril (f. 226v), et sainte Amalberge, fêtée le 10 juillet (f. 228), ainsi que celle des saints Emerentienne et Macaire l'Egyptien, fêtés le 23 janvier (f. 225v), et des saints martyrs romains Pierre et Marcellin, fêtés le 2 juin (f. 227). Ursmer et Amalberge ont tous deux un lien avec l'abbaye bénédictine Saint-Pierre de Lobbes: le premier en est le véritable fondateur, la seconde y a été ensevelie, mais cela n'implique pas nécessairement que le ms. ait été exécuté à Lobbes, car le culte de ces deux saints jouissait d'une diffusion régionale. Quant aux autres saints, le culte de sainte Emerentienne et de saint Macaire était répandu en particulier dans les diocèses de Cambrai et Reims et celui des martyrs Pierre et Marcellin autour de Valenciennes, Gand et Soissons, où se trouvaient depuis le IXe siècles leurs reliques ; cf. sur le culte d'Amalberge, Pierre et Marcellin: F. Dolbeau, "La bibliothèque de l'abbaye d'Hasnon...", Revue des études augustiniennes 34 (1988), p. 237-246; sur celui d'Ursmer: F. Dolbeau, "La diffusion de la Vita S. Ursmari de Rathier de Vérone", Scribere sanctorum gesta. Recueil d'études d'hagiographie médiévale offert à Guy Philippart, Turnhout, 2005, p. 181-207.Au f. 231v ont été rajoutées diverses maximes et formules pieuses, par deux mains différentes, des XIIe-XIIIe siècles.

Material compósito de matriz frágil reforçado com fibras naturais de sisal e malva: caracterização e correlações das propriedades e mecânicas

Este estudo propõe avaliar o comportamento mecânico dos compósitos de matriz cimentícia reforçados com fibras de sisal e malva. Correlacionar o comportamento dos materiais com variação do tipo e do comprimento das fibras. O material base utilizado na fabricação do compósito foi cimento, areia, água e fibra de sisal e malva. Usou-se u traço 1 : 2 : 0,5 (cimento, areia e água), com adição de 1% de fibras em relação ao peso da mistura. As fibras foram previamente cortadas no comprimento de 15 mm e 25 mm e adicionadas manualmente à mistura. As correlações dos compósitos foram obtidos através do ensaio de flexão em três pontos, seguindo norma RILEM 49. As características micro-estruturais foram avaliadas através do uso do microscópio eletrônico de varredura.Os resultados obtidos indicam que a inserção de fibras na matriz cimentícia diminui a força máxima aplicada no corpo de prova, porém houve um ganho na tenacidade e na pseudo ductilidade do material após o aparecimento da 1ª trinca. As fibras mais longas mostraram melhor desempenho com um pequeno destaque às fibras de MALVA.

SIS: a program to generate draft genome sequence scaffolds for prokaryotes

Background: Decreasing costs of DNA sequencing have made prokaryotic draft genome sequences increasingly common. A contig scaffold is an ordering of contigs in the correct orientation. A scaffold can help genome comparisons and guide gap closure efforts. One popular technique for obtaining contig scaffolds is to map contigs onto a reference genome. However, rearrangements that may exist between the query and reference genomes may result in incorrect scaffolds, if these rearrangements are not taken into account. Large-scale inversions are common rearrangement events in prokaryotic genomes. Even in draft genomes it is possible to detect the presence of inversions given sufficient sequencing coverage and a sufficiently close reference genome. Results: We present a linear-time algorithm that can generate a set of contig scaffolds for a draft genome sequence represented in contigs given a reference genome. The algorithm is aimed at prokaryotic genomes and relies on the presence of matching sequence patterns between the query and reference genomes that can be interpreted as the result of large-scale inversions; we call these patterns inversion signatures. Our algorithm is capable of correctly generating a scaffold if at least one member of every inversion signature pair is present in contigs and no inversion signatures have been overwritten in evolution. The algorithm is also capable of generating scaffolds in the presence of any kind of inversion, even though in this general case there is no guarantee that all scaffolds in the scaffold set will be correct. We compare the performance of SIS, the program that implements the algorithm, to seven other scaffold-generating programs. The results of our tests show that SIS has overall better performance. Conclusions: SIS is a new easy-to-use tool to generate contig scaffolds, available both as stand-alone and as a web server. The good performance of SIS in our tests adds evidence that large-scale inversions are widespread in prokaryotic genomes.

Contemporary genetic, historical genetic and morphological data sets for the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater Lichenostomus melanops

Understanding the evolutionary history of threatened populations can improve their conservation management. Re-establishment of past but recent gene flow could re-invigorate threatened populations and replenish genetic diversity, necessary for population persistence. One of the four nominal subspecies of the common yellow-tufted honeyeater, Lichenostomus melanops cassidix, is critically endangered despite substantial conservation efforts over 55 years. Using a combination of morphometric, genetic and modelling approaches we tested for its evolutionary distinctiveness and conservation merit. We confirmed that cassidix has at least one morphometric distinction. It also differs genetically from the other subspecies in allele frequencies but not phylogenetically, implying that its evolution was recent. Modelling historical distribution supported the lack of vicariance and suggested a possibility of gene flow among subspecies at least since the late Pleistocene. Multi-locus coalescent analyses indicated that cassidix diverged from its common ancestor with neighbouring subspecies gippslandicus sometime from the mid-Pleistocene to the Holocene, and that it has the smallest historical effective population size of all subspecies. It appears that cassidix diverged from its ancestor with gippslandicus through a combination of drift and local selection. From patterns of genetic subdivision on two spatial scales and morphological variation we concluded that cassidix, gippslandicus and (melanops + meltoni) are diagnosable as subspecies. Low genetic diversity and effective population size of cassidix may translate to low genetic fitness and evolutionary potential, thus managed gene flow from gippslandicus is recommended for its recovery.

Variabilidade genética de Leishmania spp. circulantes entre seres humanos e cães e infecção de flebotomíneos em áreas endêmicas para as leishmanioses no Rio Grande do Norte

Leishmania infantum is the main etiologic agent of visceral leishmaniasis in the New World. The pattern of distribution of leishmaniasis has changed substantially and has presented an emerging profile within the periphery of the Large Urban Centers. Leishmania infection can compromise skin, mucosa and viscera. Only 10% of the individuals infected develop the disease and 90% of human infection is asymptomatic. The main factors involved in the development of the disease are the host immune response, the vector’s species and the parasite’s genetic content. The sequencing of Leishmania isolated seeks to increase the understanding of the symptoms of individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of circulating Leishmania strains among humans, and symptomatic and asymptomatic, and dogs from endemic areas of Rio Grande do Norte State and analyze sandflies from endemic areas for cutaneous and visceral disease. The genetic variability was evaluated by the use of markers hsp70 , ITS1 and a whole genome sequencing was also carried out. The amplified hsp70 and ITS1 of samples were analyzed and assembled using a Phred / Phrap package. The dendograms were constructed using the same methodology, but adding 500 bootstraps, followed by inferences on the relationships between Leishmania variants. The sequences of the 20 Brazilian isolates were mapped to the reference genome L. infantum JPCM5, using the Bowtie2 program and the identification of 36 contigs. The information of the valid SNPs were used in the PCA. SNPs were visualized by Geneious 7.1 and IGV. The genome annotations were transferred to their respective chromosomes and displayed on Geneious. The matching sequences of all chromosomes were aligned using Mauve. The phylogenetic trees were calculated according to maximum likelihood and JTT models. Sandflies were analyzed by PCR for the identification of Leishmania infection, a blood meal source and GAPDH sand fly. As a result, hsp70 and ITS1 were not capable of identifying genetic variability among human isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic, and dogs. The complete sequencing of the 20 Brazilian isolates revealed a strong similarity between the circulating Leishmania strains in Rio Grande do Norte. The isolates collected in the city of Natal from humans and canines remained grouped in all analyzes, suggesting that there is genotypic and geographic proximity among the isolates. The isolated samples in the 1990s had a higher genotypic diversity when compared to freshly isolated samples. All isolates presented 36 chromosomes with variable ploidy among them, no correlation was found between the number of amastina genes copies, gp63, A2 and SSG with such clinic forms. In general, we did not find correlation between symptomatic and asymptomatic clinical forms and the gene content of the Brazilian isolates of Leishmania. 34,28% of the sandflies collected in the upper west region were L. longipalpis and the main sources of blood meal were humans, dogs and chickens.
