Review quote. A quote from a review of the product: "...lässt sich insgesamt insofern von einem gelungenen Experiment sprechen als hier ein gutes Konzept der historischen Komparatistik in einigen Fallbeispielen umgesetzt wurde und methodisch wie inhaltlich Anregungen zu weiteren Vergleichen gegeben werden." Jürgen Dendorfer in: sehepunkte, Ausgabe 7 (2007), Nr. 12 "In ihrer Gesamtheit verdeutlichen die Beiträge also sowohl die Fruchtbarkeit des Grenzparadigmas als untersuchungsleitende Größe wie auch diejenige des Vergleichs zweier so unterschiedlicher Regionen." Klaus Oschema in: Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung, 35 (2008) 34

"This book is an exploration of Western thought that emerged from the fringes of the great philosophical schools. In particular, it analyzes various cultural phenomena or studies the work of certain authors essential to understand European culture in its entirety since classical Greece. This is the context for investigating the presence of rites, myths, witches and religious ideas in Europe due to philosophical systems, but also thoughts born on the fringes of the majority philosophical currents. All this is explained in three parts: the first, centered on the ancient world; the second, Christianity; the third, in Europe until the 17th century"--

O artigo analisa o percurso do western de John Ford a partir de No tempo das diligências (1939), Rastros de ódio (1956) e O homem que matou o facínora (1962), obras que compõem uma trilogia voltada para distintas etapas da conquista do Oeste, ensejando a discussão sobre a relação do cineasta com a mitologia do gênero; de filme a filme, o estatuto do herói se desloca em consonância com uma crescente reflexividade que interroga os pressupostos da formação nacional.

Neste artigo apresentamos questões relativas à localização e adaptação de recursos educacionais digitais. Começamos com uma discussão sobre objetos de aprendizagem (OA) e recursos educacionais abertos (REA). Apresentamos três estratégias que podem auxiliar designers, professores e usuários a refletir sobre a possibilidade de reuso, localização, e adaptação cultural de recursos educacionais digitais.

Mainstream media analyses and a large majority of scholarly accounts in European capitals and the US focus disproportionately on the terrorists, or the individuals and organizations involved in the War on Terror. Such mainstream analyses of 9/11 and its aftermath regularly portray citizens and countries in the global South as incapable of resisting or fighting against extremism in their own terms. This article aims to complexify the narrative of Sept. 11, extending it in time and space, and tires to think the post-11 September decade from a de-centered/postcolonial perspective -- that is, a different perspective of the dominant narratives prevalent in the power centers of the global North/West.

A sudden geometric increase in population of Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State has led to an increase in demand for water and harnessing of subsurface water reserve. A total of twenty six water samples obtained from both boreholes and hand-dug wells were analyzed for their physico-chemical characteristics with the aim of assessing their quality, usability and also to determine the level of their contamination in the local government which is dominated by granite gneisses, charnockites, and augen gneisses as the main rock types. The following physico-chemical properties were analyzed for in the samples collected: electrical conductivity (EC), pH, total alkalinity (TA), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) with major cations (Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+), anions (PO43-, HCO3-, SO43-) and several heavy metals (Zn2+, Fe2+, As+, Ni+, Pb2+, Cd+, Cu2+). The following results were obtained from the analysis: Zn2+ (0.109 – 0.437 ppm), Fe2+ (0.216 – 0.726 ppm), As+ (0.01 – 0.03 ppm), Ni+ (0.036 – 0.074), Pb2+ (0.003 – 0.010), Cd+ (0.002 – 0.007), Cu2+ (0.086 – 0.241) with appreciable abundances of PO43-, Cd+, Fe2+and Ni+ some exceeding while some others are below the WHO acceptable level for drinking water, thereby making it a serious source of concern as it indicates varying levels of faecal contamination (from leaky septic tanks, interception with pit latrines) and heavy metal liberation into the water consumed by the residents. It was also noticed that the water was fresh based on the analysis of the Total Dissolved Solids and the Pb2+ concentrations almost exceeded the standard permissible limit. Generally, it was concluded that the overall quality of the ground water is averagely good physico-chemically. ; A sudden geometric increase in population of Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State has led to an increase in demand for water and harnessing of subsurface water reserve.

As características físico-químicas de vinte e seis amostras de água obtidas de poços perfurados e cavados à mão foram analisadas com a finalidade de avaliar sua qualidade, usabilidade e determinação de seu nível de contaminação na área do governo local, que é dominado principalmente pelas rochas de granito, gnaisses, charnockitos e augen gnaisse. As seguintes propriedades físico-químicas das amostras coletadas foram analisadas: condutividade elétrica (CE), pH, alcalinidade total (AT), sólidos totais dissolvidos (TDS), sólidos suspensos totais (SST), a capacidade de neutralização de ácido (CNA), com os principais cátions (Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+), ânions (PO43-, HCO3-, SO43-) e vários metais pesados (Zn2+, Fe2+, As+, Ni+, Pb2+, Cd+, Cu2+). Os seguintes resultados foram obtidos: Zn2+ (0,109 – 0,437 ppm), Fe2+ (0,216 – 0,726 ppm), As+ (0.01 – 0.03 ppm), Ni+ (0,036 – 0,074), Pb2+ (0,003 – 0,010), Cd+ (0,002 – 0,007), Cu2+ (0,086 – 0,241), com concentrações apreciáveis de PO43-, Cd+, Fe2+e Ni+ algumas superiores, enquanto outras abaixo do nível aceitável da WHO para água potável, fato que se constitui em grande preocupação, pois indica níveis variáveis de contaminação fecal (de vazamento de fossas sépticas e de latrinas) e contaminação de metais pesados na água consumida pelos moradores. Também foi observado que a água era doce com base na análise dos sólidos totais dissolvidos e que as concentrações de Pb2+quase ultrapassaram o limite padrão estabelecido. Observou-se que a qualidade físico-química global da água do solo é medianamente boa.
