Striving for the Divine Ornament: Change and Adaptation of Hutterite Women's Dress in North America

The author quickly traces the history of the Hutterites' forced wandering through Eastern Europe and their emigration to North America and settlement on the U.S. and Canadian prairies, and compares contemporary Hutterite dress with the garments found in the collection of the three large museums in western Canada. She discusses the role of dress in Hutterite religious and daily life, and also traditional and contemporary garment construction, including the short-lived practice of fabric painting. Although Hutterite dress seems frozen in time, comparison of contemporary dress with garments in museum collections reveals that it is susceptible to some change - towards simplification. Résumé L'auteure décrit rapidement l'histoire des déplacements forcés des Huttérites en Europe de l'Est, leur émigration en Amérique du Nord et leur établissement dans les plaines améri-caines et canadiennes. Elle compare les vête-ments contemporains des Huttérites à des vête-ments trouvés dans les collections de trois grands musées de l'Ouest canadien. Elle traite du rôle des vêtements dans la vie religieuse et quotidienne des Huttérites, de même que de la fabrication des vêtements traditionnels et des vêtements contemporains, notamment la pra-tique, de courte durée, de peindre les tissus. Bien que les vêtements huttérites semblent être figés dans le temps, la comparaison des vête-ments contemporains à ceux des collections de musées révèle qu'ils ont subi certaines modifications - vers la simplification

Advances in constraint-based models: methods for improved predictive power based on resource allocation constraints

The concept of metabolic models with resource allocation constraints has been around for over a decade and has clear advantages even when implementation is relatively rudimentary. Nonetheless, the number of organisms for which such a model is reconstructed is low. Various approaches exist, from coarse-grained consideration of enzyme usage to finegrained description of protein translation. These approaches are reviewed here, with a particular focus on user-friendly solutions that can introduce resource allocation constraints to metabolic models of any organism. The availability of kcat data is a major hurdle, where recent advances might help to fill in the numerous gaps that exist for this data, especially for nonmodel organisms

Toponímia: análise de nomes de edifícios residenciais segundo a taxinomia de Dick

Anais e artigos do 28º Fórum Acadêmico de Letras, realizado nos dias 23 a 25 de agosto de 2017 na Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana (Unila) e Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (Unioeste) com tema: A pesquisa nos cursos de letras em contexto de línguas e culturas em contato.A Toponímia é uma área de estudo interdisciplinar, uma vez que, além da Linguística, abrange outras áreas, como a História, a Geografia, a Sociologia, a Psicologia, entre outras. O presente trabalho apresenta uma contribuição às pesquisas nacionais nessa área, com o objetivo de analisar alguns nomes de edifícios residências do município de Marechal Cândido de Rondon, segundo a taxinomia de Dick (DICK,1992). Esse trabalho é um recorte de uma pesquisa mais ampla, desenvolvida no bojo da iniciação científica “Os Nomes de Edifícios em Marechal Cândido Rondon: Estudo Exploratório”, orientado pela Prof. Dra. Márcia Sipavicius Seide – a qual conta com o apoio financeiro da Fundação Araucária. Consideramos importante analisar como os edifícios residenciais são nomeados, pois, analisar um nome de um lugar é compreender a visão de mundo dos denominadores e as motivações que os levaram a nomear esse espaço físico, além de identificar os significados e sentidos que o nome constitui a partir de seu contexto históric

Estratégias de Saída: finalizando programas e investindo em relacionamentos

Para dar visibilidade às alternativas construídas por diversos investidores sociais a partir de erros e acertos, trazemos aqui traduzido, com o apoio do Instituto C&A, mais este guia da série Grantcraft do Foundation Center, que contou com o apoio do The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund para sua elaboração. "Foundations moving on: Ending programmes and funding relationships" apresenta abertamente situações em que investidores sociais precisaram finalizar programas, encerrar suas operações, e as estratégias que desenvolveram para fazer essa saída da maneira mais responsável possível. A partir de um processo cuidadoso de aprendizado, entregam boas orientações como a importância de deixar um legado, de investir em programas que gerem transformação e autonomia dos beneficiários, de reconhecer coletivamente essas transformações e a participação de cada envolvido, de comunicar sempre e de forma clara, franca e consistente, e de usar os resultados dos processos de avaliação para embasar tais alternativas

A Kohn-Sham system at zero temperature

An one-dimensional Kohn-Sham system for spin particles is considered which effectively describes semiconductor {nano}structures and which is investigated at zero temperature. We prove the existence of solutions and derive a priori estimates. For this purpose we find estimates for eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger operator with effective Kohn-Sham potential and obtain $W^{1,2}$-bounds of the associated particle density operator. Afterwards, compactness and continuity results allow to apply Schauder's fixed point theorem. In case of vanishing exchange-correlation potential uniqueness is shown by monotonicity arguments. Finally, we investigate the behavior of the system if the temperature approaches zero.Comment: 27 page

Systems-level approaches for understanding and engineering of the oleaginous cell factory Yarrowia lipolytica

Concerns about climate change and the search for renewable energy sources together with the goal of attaining sustainable product manufacturing have boosted the use of microbial platforms to produce fuels and high-value chemicals. In this regard, Yarrowia lipolytica has been known as a promising yeast with potentials in diverse array of biotechnological applications such as being a host for different oleochemicals, organic acid, and recombinant protein production. Having a rapidly increasing number of molecular and genetic tools available, Y. lipolytica has been well studied amongst oleaginous yeasts and metabolic engineering has been used to explore its potentials. More recently, with the advancement in systems biotechnology and the implementation of mathematical modeling and high throughput omics data-driven approaches, in-depth understanding of cellular mechanisms of cell factories have been made possible resulting in enhanced rational strain design. In case of Y. lipolytica, these systems-level studies and the related cutting-edge technologies have recently been initiated which is expected to result in enabling the biotechnology sector to rationally engineer Y. lipolytica-based cell factories with favorable production metrics. In this regard, here, we highlight the current status of systems metabolic engineering research and assess the potential of this yeast for future cell factory design development
