    Get PDF
    The translation of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure into English, published in 2014, represents a way of explaining the functioning of the Italian criminal procedure to a wide English-speaking audience. Given the different varieties of English available, the translation team chose European English as the target language of the translation. After a brief overview of the central role played by English in the European supranational and international context, the paper presents a classification of translation equivalents used for the translation of the Code and illustrates it by concrete examples. Such classification is based on two criteria, namely the availability of European English translation equivalents in the reference corpus of European documents used by the translation team and the degree of embeddedness of the underlying concept in the national legal system. The resulting classification is threefold and comprises European English translation equivalents for Italian terms designating legal concepts shared by both national and supranational/international legal systems, European English translation equivalents for Italian terms designating legal concepts embedded in the national legal system only, and Italian terms designating legal concepts embedded in the national legal system with no European English translation equivalent

    Las políticas migratorias de los países miembros de la Unión Europea han sufrido importantes cambios en las últimas décadas. La forma de afrontar el hecho multicultural varía considerablemente de unos países a otros, y las políticas educativas que al respecto han adoptado son heterogéneas. El uso del velo en las escuelas ha generado una serie de controversias en los últimos tiempos que han llegado a suponer un debate público en varios países de Europa. La utilización de signos religiosos en los centros escolares se ha convertido en un problema que cada estado europeo afronta de forma peculiar. Las soluciones han sido variadas. A veces, son los propios centros quienes deciden sobre el vestuario de los alumnos, mientras que en otras ocasiones existen normativas estatales relativas a esta cuestión. Su relación con aspectos laicos, democráticos y respeto a la libertad individual, han sido ampliamente debatida. Palavras-chave: Diversidad. Velo. Educación.Diversity and education: the islamic veil in the European Union Abstract The migration policies of member countries of the European Union have change significant in recent decades. The way to face the fact multicultural varies considerably from one country to another, and educational policies have been adopted in this regard are mixed. The wearing of veil in schools has generated a series of controversies in recent times that have come to mean a public debate in several European countries. The use of religious symbols in schools has become a problem that every European state faces a peculiar way. The solutions have been mixed. Sometimes, it is the institutions themselves decide on the costumes of the students, while at other times there are state regulations on this issue. The relationship with secular aspects, democracy and respect for individual freedom, have been discussed. Keywords: Diversity. Veil. Education

    Vivir la Alhambra : mujeres en la Alhambra nazarí y cristiana

    Get PDF
    La presencia femenina en la Alhambra ha quedado habitualmente oculta tanto por la potencia en si del propio conjunto monumental como porque las fuentes tradicionales la han invisibilizado sistemáticamente. Poco a poco se va reconociendo la necesidad de incluir el género como un elemento fundamental para entender en plenitud los procesos históricos y también, evidentemente, para interpretar los usos de los edi$ cios. Este artículo trata de contextualizar los espacios de la Alhambra en clave femenina, identificando aquellos que tradicionalmente les han sido asignados pero no sólo. Intenta transitar de la mujer objeto, ideal romántico de princesa cautiva suspirando por su amado, o esposa diletante tumbada entre cojines, a la mujer como sujeto que habita. Porqué en la Alhambra vivieron sultanas inteligentes, músicas cultivadas, reinas estadistas, alfareras, y comadronas. Y en la Alhambra trabajan mujeres que documentan, restauran, catalogan, cuidan, difunden, limpian, guían, explican y protegen la ciudad palatina como lo que es, un espacio vital en el que, como poco, la mitad son mujeres. [ANGLÈS] The female presence in the Alhambra has been usually hidden both by the potency of the monumental set itself and by the fact that traditional sources have systematically made it invisible. Step by step, the need to include gender as a fundamental element to fully understand historical processes, and also to interpret the uses of buildings, is being recognized. Th is article tries to contextualize the spaces of the Alhambra in a female point of view, identifying those that traditionally have been assigned but not only. Th e article tries to vindicate in front of the object woman, identified with the romantic image of captive princess sighing for her beloved, or dilettante wife lying between cushions, to the subject woman. Because in the Alhambra lived intelligent sultanas, cultivated musicians, statesmen queens, potters, and midwives. And because in the Alhambra there are actually women who document, restore, catalogue, take care for, disseminate, clean, guide, explain and protect the palatine city as a vital space in which, at least, half of all are women.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

    CLYMENE DOLPHIN STRANDING EVENT IN PERNAMBUCO STATE, NORTHEAST COAST OF BRAZIL

    Get PDF
    On 30th January 2021, one dolphins was reported stranded at Ipojuca municipality in Pernambuco State, Brazil. The teams from Ecoassociados and from Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade/Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Conservação de Mamíferos Aquáticos attended to the rescue call as representatives of the Rede de Encalhes e Informações de Mamíferos Aquáticos do Nordeste do Brasil. The individual showed a high level of stress and muscular spasms, was soon in shock and died around 90 minutes later. After further analyses and necropsy procedure, the teams identified the individual as an adult female Stenella clymene specimen. There was no evidence of boat strike or interaction with fishing gear. Although the organs were highly parasitized, this was not the cause of the death. Alterations in the lungs suggested infectious interstitial pneumonia. Currently, this species is classified as ‘Least concern’ by the IUCN and is not listed on the Brazilian Official National List of Species Threatened with Extinction. Hence, our study highlights the importance of a systematic monitoring of marine mammals, stranding networks and databases for species conservation. We also point out the need for an official list of endangered species of the Pernambuco state, to support local and regional actions. Thus, national conservation plans could be achieved in a more straightforward way and, in the best possible way,strategic priorities for species conservation, protection, and management could be developed and applied

    Get PDF
    This study aims to determine Gen Z's intention to choose a working environment under the influence of their views on living and working. Some of the main motivations included in the test were those driven by Personal growth, Financial benefits, Psychological influence, and Social concerns. Results from 1073 responses from students born in 2000-2003 show that the majority of them choose to work for a foreign company based in the country with a balanced lifestyle between work and life. The main motives leading to this choice are self-development, a secure income, as well as the impact of peer pressure. This study has provided empirical evidence for educators and national administrators in formulating strategies to train high-quality human resources to meet labor market needs; simultaneously, with solutions to attract human resources for the country's internal and sustainable development. This research has contributed to enriching the theoretical array of Generation Z in a developing country, and the issue of labor quality in domestic and foreign units

    Objectives: Evaluate the epidemiological aspects of accidents with venomous animals, focusing on snakebites and phytotherapic measures adopted by the rural population in municipalities in the interior of Alagoas, Brazil. Material and methods: This comprises a quantitative, descriptive research, carried out between 2016 and 2017 in the Alagoas backlands. The “snowball sampling” method was used to select the participants. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were analyzed using the Excel 2007 software, and the relationship between variables was evaluated by Spearman’s correlation. Results: Of the 600 reported accidents with venomous animals, the most prevalent were caused by snakes (47.00%) and scorpions (31.44%), while 21.56% were caused by other animals. A weak correlation (r = 0.33) was observed between municipality and job occupation. Of the 282 registered snakebites, the Viperidae family was predominant with 74.46% of the cases. Most accidents ocurred with members of the Bothrops/Bothrocophias (36.52%) and Crotalus (28.37%) genera. The medicinal plants used herein were barbatimão (52.00%), paratudo (21.00%), bellyache bush (15.00%) and sweet potato (12.00%), applied as leaf macerations (60.00 %), tea compresses (29.50%) and garrafada (10.50%). Conclusion: Medicinal plants are used in the region of Alagoas as a phytotherapic alternative to minimize the symptoms and effects of snake venom.Objectives: evaluate the epidemiological aspects of accidents with venomous animals, focusing on snakebites and phytotherapic measures adopted by the rural population in municipalities in the interior of Alagoas.

    The purpose of this study is to examine the pathology of the Civil Service Management Law by emphasizing the prevailing systemic approach to various areas of human resource management in government organizations in Iran. The method of this research is descriptive-survey. Statistical samples were selected through quota and judgmental sampling. First, the interview was conducted with a statistical sample and then with the Delphi method of three stages and exploratory factor analysis. The classification of injuries in the Civil Service Law was performed according to the system characteristics in seven categories. The results showed that pathology has been studied in terms of generalization characteristics such as lack of systems, severe bureaucracy and neglect of the environment. This factor can be divided into four categories of recruitment, employment and supply and maintenance of human resources. Other pathologies include ignoring the environment despite extensive communication. According to the results we can said that Civil service management law for various reasons such as inflexibility, uncoordinated subsystems, static, non-dependence and interaction of subsystems, etc. has led to various consequences in the input and output sections of the system in the administrative system of government organizations

    A Sobrecarga de Telômeros Disfuncionais em Células Normais – um Estudo Piloto

    Get PDF
    Introduction: Dysfunctional telomeres are critical for human health. They can be identified by their length, prevalence of telomeric variant repeats and frequency of damage localised to the telomeres, marked by the presence of -H2AX.Material and Methods: Using the metaphase Telomere dysfunctionInduced Foci (mTIF) assay, this study investigated the presence of TCAGGG, a telomeric variant repeat, and its association with the canonical repeat (TTAGGG) in a human cancer cell line (HT1080) and a normal cell strain (MRC-5) overtime (120 days).Results: Due to cell growth arrest that accompanies cellular senescence, MRC-5 late population doublings (PD) show particularly short telomere length (TL) when compared to HT1080 in any stage and to MRC-5 early PD. Cancer cells displayed higher levels of TCAGGG, both alone and colocalised to the canonical repeat. HT1080 and MRC-5 late PD cells showed increased levels of -H2AX colocalised to the canonical, to the variant repeat, and to both canonical and variant combined, when compared to MRC-5 early PD.Conclusion: This pilot study identified that the fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080 is more susceptible to telomeric variant repeats occurrence, while normal late cells display higher levels dysfunctional telomeres, characterised by shorter TL and increased -H2AX presence.Introdução: Telômeros disfuncionais são críticos para a saúde humana. Eles podem ser identificados pelo seu comprimento, pela prevalência de variantes nas repetições teloméricas e pela frequência de danos localizados nos telômeros, marcados pela presença de -H2AX.Materiais e Métodos: Usando o ensaio de disfunção telomérica induzida (mTIF), esse estudo investigou a presença de TCAGGG, uma repetição telomérica variante, e sua associação com a repetição canônica (TTAGGG) em uma linhagem cancerígena (HT1080) e uma linhagem celular normal (MRC-5) humanas ao longo de um período (120 dias).Resultados: Devido à parada do crescimento celular que acompanha a senescência, as células MRC-5 em estágio final de duplicação de população (DP) apresentaram telômeros particularmente curtos quando comparadas às células HT1080 em qualquer estágio e à MRC-5 em estágio inicial de DP. Células cancerígenas exibiram elevados níveis da variante TCAGGG, tanto sozinha ou colocalizada com a sequência canônica. As linhagens HT1080 e MRC-5 em estágio inicial tiveram níveis de -H2AX aumentados quando co-localizados à sequência canônica, à sequência variante, e às duas sequências combinadas, quando comparadas com MRC-5 em estágio final.Conclusão: Este estudo piloto identificou que a linhagem de fibrossarcoma HT1080 é mais suscetível à ocorrência de variantes teloméricas, enquanto células normais em estágio final exibem mais altos níveis de telômeros disfuncionais, indicados por telômeros mais curtos e presença aumentada de -H2AX
