Antara Perbincangan dalam kajian ini adalah berfokuskan kepada simbolik bahasa dan bahasa sebagai ekspresi kesedaran wanita. Hasil dapatan keseluruhan kajian menunjukkan bahawa Zurinah Hassan menggunakan bahasa yang bersesuaian dengan gagasan bahasa daripada Elaine Showalter tetapi agak kurang menyerlah. Hal ini disebabkan keterbatasan penggunaan bahasa selaras dengan sosiobudaya masyarakat Melayu. Penemuan kajian ini dalam model bahasa wanita dapat dilihat menerusi simbolik bahasa dan bahasa sebagai ekspresi kesedaran wanita.

The results of the benefits and interests gained future can be seen that women are in their protest and criticism through their work writing patterns despite being controlled.

Primero Sueno

El texto que sigue aprovecha el trabajo que he publicado sobre el barroco y, en especial, mi ensayo “Lírica colonial,” que aparece en la Historia de la literatura hispanoamericana, que Gredos publicó en el 2006, y que había aparecido en su versión original inglesa en la Cambridge History of Latin American Literature, de 1996. También retomo algunas de las ideas de Celestina´s Brood: Continuities of the Baroque in Spanish and Latin American Literature, que se publicó en España como La prole de Celestina. Pero aquí aspiro a ir más lejos al concentrarme en un solo poema de Sor Juana, “Primero sueño”, y utilizar ideas que he ido desarrollando en los últimos diez o quince años. Las más recientes forman parte de un libro en marcha sobre el infinito y la improvisación del que ya han aparecido algunos adelantos sobre Cervantes y Calderón. Hay otro sobre Lope en camino.

AbstractAntimicrobial resistance (AR) is a worldwide concern. Up to a 160% increase in antibiotic usage in food animals is expected in Latin American countries. The poultry industry is an increasingly important segment of food production and contributor to AR. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, AR patterns and the characterization of relevant resistance genes in Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC E. coli from large poultry farms in Ecuador. Sampling was performed from June 2013 to July 2014 in 6 slaughterhouses that slaughter broilers from 115 farms totaling 384 flocks. Each sample of collected caeca was streaked onto TBX agar supplemented with cefotaxime (3 mg/l). In total, 176 isolates were analyzed for antimicrobial resistance patterns by the disk diffusion method and for blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaCMY, blaSHV, blaKPC, and mcr-1 by PCR and sequencing. ESBL and AmpC E. coli were found in 362 flocks (94.3%) from 112 farms (97.4%). We found that 98.3% of the isolates were multi-resistant to antibiotics. Low resistance was observed for ertapenem and nitrofurantoin. The most prevalent ESBL genes were the blaCTX-M (90.9%) blaCTX-M-65, blaCTX-M-55 and blaCTX-M-3 alleles. Most of the AmpC strains presented the blaCMY-2 gene. Three isolates showed the mcr-1 gene. Poultry production systems represent a hotspot for antimicrobial resistance in Ecuador, possibly mediated by the extensive use of antibiotics. Monitoring this sector in national and regional plans of antimicrobial resistance surveillance should therefore be considered.

      This study deals with the colonial perspectives in Dave Eggers’s A Hologram for The King (2012), according to the postcolonial approach. Although colonialism era is over by now, colonial perspectives remain strong in some literary works. Since its advent in the second half of the twentieth century, postcolonial theory confronts colonial attitudes and experiences as colonialism has been justified in many works of Western writers and scholars who have distorted the real image of non-Europeans and non-Westerners via different means and techniques in masquerade of orientalism. Postcolonial discourse opposes the misrepresentation of non-Europeans and argues that such falsification is driven by political, social, religious and economic motives. In the current study, the researcher aims at explaining the notions of colonialism, otherization and other falsified images of non-Westerners in A Hologram for the King. This paper mainly questions Eggers’s portrayal of the protagonist, Alan Clay, who after bankruptcy and failure at home, flies to Saudi Arabia and capitalizes on the physical and moral assets of the Orientals in this country to convert his story of failure to a success. The characterization of the oriental world and its setting show Eggers’s being biased against the Eastern world and ironically mirror clear hints of colonialism and eurocentrism.

Global Entrepreneurship

This chapter examines the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in the development of family businesses in Latin America. The socio-economic dynamics of such region is an interesting field for research, mainly because: it is a major manufacturing hub with growing importance in retail; it experienced a huge economical shift in the last ten years causing the growth of the middle class (an increase of 50 million people); family firms in the region are the main driver of growth and employment. The authors focused the analysis on Mexico due to its singular characteristics, making it a representative example of the region. Based on secondary sources, a characterization of the entrepreneurship and innovation in family owned and managed firms in the region is reviewed. Moreover, based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database, the authors present some recent data related with entrepreneurship levels in the region and its impact in terms of innovation. Finally, public policy implications are provided in order to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation in family businesses.

Women are both central and marginalized in Maurice. Symbolically, they are central to the ideals of respectable heterosexual life that Maurice struggles against as he grows up, but their experience is frequently pushed to the margins of the narrative. Certainly, the novel’s female characters seem at first glance to be drawn from stereotypes; on the edge of the narrative, we notice mothers, sisters and their friends. Women symbolize, for Maurice and Clive, the banality of the conventional, heterosexual masculinity that they would like to reject yet cannot help being drawn to. Nevertheless, Forster implies that Maurice and Clive do not see the female characters ‘for what they really [are]’, but instead misinterpret them due to prejudices that are just as limited as those that they are rejecting. This chapter suggests that Forster’s characterization of women in Maurice encourages the reader to imagine depths of experience, suffering and frustration that exist at the margins of the novel’s narrative. In a novel that so boldly portrays the marginalized subject of homosexual masculinity, Forster more subtly enacts the oppression and marginalization that women face within a social construct of gender and family that purports to put them at the centre.
