As playwright, actor, director, teacher, mentor, theatre administrator, and critic, Sharon Pollock has played an integral role in the shaping of Canada's national theatre tradition, and she continues to produce new works and to contribute to Canadian theatre as passionately as she has done over the past fifty years. Pollock is nationally and internationally respected for her work and support of the theatre community. She has also played a major role in informing Canadians about the "dark side" of their history and current events. This collection, comprised entirely of new and original assessments of her work and contribution to theatre, is both timely and long overdue. ; The University of Calgary Press acknowledges the support of the Government of Alberta through the Alberta Media Fund for our publications.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. A notorious story about a small endangered fish that traveled far through the corridors of American government; also a parable about citizen action, a parable perhaps even more useful because it's true. Deemed "The Most Extreme Environmental Case Ever", Zygmunt Plater and a team students in Tennessee used the endangered little "snail darter" fish to help several hundred family farmers and fishermen block a pork-barrel dam that was going to destroy far more—in economic and ecological term—than it ever could produce. A double takeaway: "Good Ecology equals Good Economics" and "The governance of society is too important to leave it up to those who govern us."

This article describes criminal thoughts proposed by Italian criminal positivist school in XIX Century, which includes Cesare Lombroso, Enrico Ferri and Garofalo as the maximum samples of this thought or criminal school; then we identify those institutes coming from this line of thought found in current Colombian criminal legal arrangement as understood since 1991 Political Constitution, as the pillar setting forth directions for punishment rules currently in effect; in our case, as provided by the criminal code (Law 599, 2000), and code of criminal procedure (Law 906, 2004). ; En este artículo se presenta una descripción de lospensamientos penales propuestos por la escuela positivistapenal italiana en el siglo XIX, cuenta con Cesare Lombroso,Enrico Ferri y Garofalo como máximos exponentesde este pensamiento o escuela penal, seguidamentese identifian aquellos institutos provenientes de estalínea de pensamiento que se encuentran en el actualordenamiento jurídico penal colombiano entendido desdela Constitución Política de 1991 como pilar que fia losalineamientos del plexo normativo punitivo imperante enla actualidad; en nuestro caso materializado en el códigopenal (Ley 599 de 2000) y código de procedimientopenal (Ley 906 de 2004)Palabras Clave: Positivismo, escuelas, peligrosismo,derecho penal de autor, prisión preventiva, sanción, pena.

Elongases of very long-chain fatty acids (Elovl) catalyse the rate-limiting step of the elongation pathway that results in net 2C elongation of pre-existing fatty acyl chains. As the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) is particularly relevant in fish, Elovl involved in the pathway have been investigated in various studies. Here we report the molecular cloning, functional characterisation and tissue distribution of two distinct elovl-like cDNAs isolated from the herbivorous marine teleost Siganus canaliculatus. Unlike the carnivorous marine fish previously investigated, we hypothesise that the rabbitfish has an enhanced LC-PUFA biosynthetic capability as previously anticipated in a former study on fatty acyl desaturases (Fad). The results of the present study showed that rabbitfish expresses at least two elovl cDNAs, which have high homology in sequence and function to Elovl5 and Elovl4 elongases that have been investigated previously in other fish species. Furthermore, the results confirm that the activities of the Elovl5 and Elovl4 enzymes enable rabbitfish to perform all the elongation reactions required for the biosynthesis of the physiologically essential C 20-22 LC-PUFA including eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3), arachidonic (20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3, DHA) acids, as well as the less common very long-chain fatty acids (>C 24). Rabbitfish is thus the first marine teleost in which genes encoding Fad and Elovl enzymes, with all the activities required for the production of DHA from C 18 PUFA, have been characterised. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. ; National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC): 31110103913 y 30972266.
