Danish Literature in Brazil: Notes on Translation and Criticism

This article aims to present and analyse some examples of translation and criticism of Danish literature in Brazil. It will demonstrate that the dialogue between Denmark and Brazil in the literary field has more eventful a history than one can imagine at first. Translation and criticism are regarded as two complementary ways to disseminate a literature in foreign places. To the reader who knows little or nothing about the reception of Danish literature in Brazil, this article can provide the initial elements for a further research. There is not any attempt towards comprehensiveness, and this article remains a discrete look of its author’s over the reception of Danish literature in Brazil

CONTRIBUTOS DA HERMENÊUTICA PARA A PSICANÁLISE

Para compreender o ser humano é necessário haver uma reflexão que se efetua sempre através de uma interpretação. Para Paul Ricoeur, não existe compreensão e interpretação sem mediação, pois a mediação é uma condição para poder proceder a uma interpretação. Uma das funções da psicanálise é de desvendar o significado de sentidos ocultos através da linguagem, da escrita. Este artigo trata de algumas ligações entre psicanálise e hermenêutica considerando a psicanálise como hermenêutica pois ambas têm um ponto comum: a interpretação. Será apresentado o exemplo de como uma abordagem clínica da obra do pintor Wiliam Turner pode ser clarificadora da ligação entre hermenêutica e psicanálise

Introdução de criatividade no processo de identificação de estratégias de qualidade de dados

A capacidade das organizações utilizarem eficazmente as tecnologias da informação e apostarem na inovação e criatividade são reconhecidos como sendo importantes para a sua competitividade. A hipótese de recorrer a técnicas de criatividade conhecidas ou em adaptações das mesmas para ajudar a inovar na área dos Sistemas de Informação afigura-se como sendo promissora. Neste artigo propõe-se a aplicação de um método genérico de introdução de criatividade no processo de planeamento e identificação de estratégias de qualidade de dados. É apresentado um caso prático de aplicação do método na identificação de estratégias de qualidade de dados numa Câmara Municipal de grande dimensão

The Paratexts of the Brazilian Translations of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

This article aims to discuss the paratexts found in the first edition (fi rst printing only) of each of the fi ve translations of A portrait of the Artist asa Young Man (1916), by James Joyce (1882-1941), in Brazilian  Portuguese. From cover to back cover, including prefaces, illustrations, and other paratexts, the fi ve translations (1945, 1992, 2013, 2014, and 2016) differ considerably. The rationale of this paper lies in the fact that the reception of an author in a target culture does not depend only on how his or her text is translated but also on the paratexts that “envelop” it. So A Portrait is not read in Brazil through the translations of its text only, since the ways in which the original paratexts (title and epigraph) and the added ones (notes, for example) are translated signifi cantly affect the reading experience.Keywords: Paratexts; titles; Joyce; translation; Portuguese language

Dubliners in Brazilian and European Portuguese: The Question of Title Translation in “The Dead”

Dubliners (1914), by James Joyce, has had four full translations intoPortuguese: two in Brazil and two in Portugal. Translations of individual short stories have also been published in collections and magazines. The aim of this article is to discuss the translation of the title of the last and longest short story in Dubliners – “The Dead” – into Brazilian and European Portuguese. The form of the title in English allows a double understanding, that is, as referring to one dead person or to dead people. However, this ambiguity, able to influence the reading of the short story as a whole, is not present in the Portuguese language translations of the title

Interview with a Dubliners translator: Benoît Tadié

This interview with Benoît Tadié, one of the French translators of James Joyce’s Dubliners (1914), took place via e-mail. It is embedded in a richexchange of messages that began in 2011 and continues to the present day. The original aim of the interviewer was only to acquire information for his doctoral work on retranslations of Dubliners, finished in 2013. However, it became clear that Tadié’s answers deserved to be published.Keywords: Benoît Tadié; James Joyce; Dubliners; Gens de Dublin; Translation; Retranslation

The game and the alternating roles of learner/teacher as facilitators of the learning process in organizations

In this work a new strategy is proposed for online training of members of medium and large organizations, based on the sharing and exchange of knowledge among them. The strategy is supported with the creation of intra-enterprise online communities, where all members assume, simultaneously, the role of trainer and trainee. The interaction in the community is achieved through a game, in which each participant challenges others to learn what he has to teach in his domain area, sharing information and resources on matters that they dominate and where are, at the same time, challenged to learn other subjects from different professional areas. The adoption of this model could change the classic positioning of distanceLearning systems based on Internet by giving a very significant role to the learning communities and to the use of games as a challenging way to improve the level of expertise of the members of an organization, helping them to cooperate and to better exchange information.- (undefined

A Real-Time ANPC Inverter Digital Twin with Integrated Design-For-Trust

The demand for renewable energy has increased over the last few years, and so has the demand for greater expectations within the energy market. This increasing trend has been accompanied by more significant usage of internet-connected devices (IoT), leading to critical electrical infrastructure being connected to the internet. Implementing internet connectivity with such devices and systems provides benefits such as improving the system\u27s performance, facilitating irregularity and anomaly mitigation, and providing additional situational awareness for enhanced decision-making. However, enhancing the connected system with IoT introduces a drawback – a greater vulnerability to cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks targeting critical infrastructure in the electrical sector have occurred in the United States and Ukraine. These cyber-attacks highlight and expose vulnerabilities that a system inherits when connecting to the internet. These attacks left thousands of customers without electricity for hours until operators could regain control of the electric utility grid. Therefore, to address the vulnerabilities of an internet-connected power electronic device, this work focused on the hardware layer of the system. Implementing a cyber-control system inside the hardware layer can significantly reduce the possibility of an attacker patching malicious controller firmware into a photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, thus mitigating the likelihood that the inverter becomes inactive a cyber-attack scenario. With this mitigation technique, if a cyberattack is successful and an attacker gains control of the network, a cyber-defense technique is in place to mitigate the impact of the cyber-attack. This additional protection layer was developed based on an innovative concept known as Digital Twin (DT). A DT, in this case, replicates an Active-Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) inverter and was designed using a hardware language known as VHDL (Very High-SpeedIntegrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and applied to Field-Programmable-GateArray (FPGA). The DT is embedded within the FPGA and contained in a controller board, the UCB (Unified Controller Board), developed by the University of Arkansas electrical engineering team. This UCB also contains two Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) responsible for generating associated signals to control an authentic physical inverter. These DSP signals are received and processed by the FPGA that implements the DT of an ANPC; in other words, it simulates in realtime the expected output of an actual ANPC inverter using the signals from the DSP. When a new firmware is ready to be patched, the DT provides output signals simulating behavior that a real ANPC inverter would generate with the new firmware. The new firmware is tested to check if it meets all the operational requirements established using a Design-For-Trust technique (DFTr). If the new firmware fails in at least one of the DFT tests, it is considered malicious and must be rejected. This work is divided into sections, such as Background, which explains the pieces that were used and the strategy behind this work; Process and Procedure, which explains the methodology that was adopted to prove the reliability and effectiveness of this work; Results and Discussion, where the simulations and results are described and explained; followed by Conclusion and Future work section, which concludes this work and adds possible future projects to continue this work furthe
