Among these much-neglectedcharacteristics one can include the paired concepts tatemae and honne. By incorporating those conceptsinto a reading of Japanese texts, the reader can discover social issues previously unseen. BananaYosimoto’s novel Kitchen is used to illustrate the different interactions of tatemae and honne.

Los resultados indican que la inserción de los convertidores DC/DC en el sistema provocan un aumento en la cantidad de energía activa. Se realiza el análisis tanto con variaciones de la radiación solar como cambios en la temperatura ambiente.

DISEÑO: el estudio es descriptivo transversal comparativo. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: el conocimiento del estilo atribucional, es la resultante de la combinación de tres dimensiones: externalidad, inestabilidad y especificidad, fue mediante la aplicación del test ASQ-CIDE, de Peterson, adaptado hacia los actos corruptos, la validez fue por el método de análisis de contenido, y la confiabilidad por el método del test retest. El mencionado test se aplicó en forma colectiva a grupos no mayores de veinticinco por vez, a una muestra seleccionada por estratos, escolares del nivel secundario y universitario, con un margen de error del 0.05 y un nivel de confianza del 0.95. RESULTADOS: la tendencia de la muestra estudiada es hacia la internalidad, inestabilidad y especificidad que corresponde al estilo explicat...

The style of Harold Pinter, the laureate British playwright, adds an additional difficulty due to his particular use of language. His plays The Caretaker and The Dumb Waiter show how speech is overshadowed by silence, which provides a more direct access to the tortured psyche of characters.

Yet, technology provides new tools today that might benefit the process of teaching/learning literary elements. One of such instruments is the blog, a free online sharing space that instructors can use to upload material and allow their students to share reactions, impressions, questions, and points of analysis.

Eliot's Four Quartets manifests three main religious influences: Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, systems of thought commonly perceived as incompatible among themselves. However, Eliot's most outstanding achievement is to present such belief systems as parts of a whole instead of divergent forces in the poem.

Therefore, a literary work meant for minors and that strongly exhibits Gothic features seems, thus, a paradox: either the moralistic intention in children's literature will weaken the Gothic negativity of such work or the profound darkness of the Gothic elements will end up blurring the positive values of literary works for minors. Neil Gaiman's Coraline is a novel for children that is deeply rooted into Gothic tradition. Some of the most notorious Gothic elements in the work are the presence of paranormal manifestations like ghosts, the common interaction with grotesque beings, and the existence of a dark, uncanny universe that provides the setting for the novel. In this context, some may argue that the apparently incompatible features of the novel would take it into two divergent directions that would finally nullify the work, either aesthetically or didactically. However, the Gothic images and content of the work actually contribute to the awakening of young readers by undermining the idealization of family love which, in the end, serves a significant didactic purpose.

Tradicionalmente, han existido movimientos de campo a ciudad, flujos estacionales de trabajadores en tiempo de siembra y cosecha (café y algodón), y corrientes migratorias de las naciones más densamente pobladas-particularmente El Salvador-hacia los países vecinos. La crisis económica y la violencia política características del período en estudio reforzaron los flujos, modificaron su orientación y alteraron su carácter. Las presiones sociales, amortiguadas por el crecimiento vigoroso de las economías centroamericanas durante el período 1950-1970, afloraron con fuerza durante la

To give meaning to learning another language (L2) the project held sessions inside and outside the classroom. The inquiry was directed on the perceptions of the local context and on its usefulness in L2 acquisition. It was found that outdoor spaces offer participants a sense of comfort which encourages participation and social interaction. They felt their identity, as adults and as citizens of the capital, was acknowledged.

The relationships of isolates causing ABR on turfgrasses to those causing disease on important crop hosts (maize, sorghum) remain unresolved. Genetic variation among isolates from annual bluegrass, creeping bentgrass, maize, and sorghum was evaluated based on host origin and geographic origin. Isozymes were used to estimate the genetic variation of the isolates. Five enzyme systems comprising 16 alleles from 5 loci were used. Allele frequencies, genetic distance, and linkage disequilibrium values were calculated for isolates based on both host and geographic origin. Isolates from creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass were the most closely related based on Nei's genetic distance, while isolates from maize and sorghum were the most distantly related, consistent with their known species-level relationship. Isolates from annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass...
