Resumo: O primeiro romance de Moacyr Scliar, A guerra no Bom Fim, publicado em 1972, é tecido pela rememoração de um menino judeu que narra preciosos momentos de sua in-fância no bairro Bom Fim, na mesma época em que eclode a Segunda Guerra Mundial na Europa. O imaginário do protagonista Joel está repleto de acontecimentos relacionados à guerra que permeiam suas lembranças e fazem parte de sua narração, mesclando realidade e fantasia em seu texto. Esse universo bélico mágico criado pelo garoto tem origem, princi-palmente, nas notícias que escutava sobre o que se passava em solo europeu a partir das conversas entre os adultos, dos meios de comunicação do período, bem como das idas ao cinema Baltimore, onde os cartazes dos filmes atraiam os jovens nas matinês de domingo. Fredric Jameson, em seu texto War and Representation, percebe oito variantes nos textos que tematizam a guerra, são elas: a) experiência existencial da guerra; b) experiência coletiva da guerra; c) líderes, oficiais e o exército; d) tecnologia; e) paisagem inimiga; f) atrocidades; g) ataque à pátria e h) ocupação estrangeira. Com isso em mente, tentaremos desvelar as va-riantes bélicas propostas por Jameson no texto de Scliar, a fim de compreender a experiência existencial pela qual passou a personagem que, para se defender das brutalidades do mundo real, passa a criar um cenário fantástico-maravilhoso em que a história e as lendas judaicas ganham vida, enfatizando a via crucis de toda uma geração de imigrantes que chega ao Bra-sil e sofre com o desenraizamento, preconceito e condições precárias de vida. Palavras-chave: Variantes bélicas. Guerra. Representação. Literatura. Abstract: Moacyr Scliar's first novel, A guerra no Bom Fim, published in 1972, is woven by the reminiscence of a Jewish boy who recounts precious moments of his childhood in the Bom Fim neighborhood at the time of II World War in Europe. The imaginary of the pro-tagonist Joel is full of events related to the war itself that permeate his memories and are part of his narration, mixing reality and fantasy in his text. This magical warlike universe created by him has its origins mainly in the news he heard about what was happening on European soil from the conversations between the adults, the media of the period, and the trips to the Baltimore cinema, where the posters of the films attract young people on Sun-day matinees. Fredric Jameson, in his text War and Representation, remarks eight variants or categories in the narratives that have the war as the main theme, they are: a) the existen-tial experience of war; b) the collective experience of war; c) leaders, officers, and the insti-tution of the army; d) technology; e) the enemy landscape; f) atrocities; g) attack on the homeland, and h) foreign occupation. With this in mind, we will try to unveil the warlike variants proposed by Jameson in the text of Scliar, in order to understand the existential ex-perience through which the character passed, whose defense against the brutalities of the real world was to create a fantastic-wonderful scenario in that Jewish history and legends come to life, emphasizing the via crucis of a whole generation of immigrants that arrives in Brazil and suffers from rootlessness, prejudice and precarious conditions of life. Keywords: Warfare variants. War. Representation. Literature.

While manipulative attacks on elections have been well-studied, only recently has attention turned to attacks that account for geographic information, which are extremely common in the real world. The most well known in the media is gerrymandering, in which district border-lines are changed to increase a party's chance to win, but a different geographical manipulation involves influencing the election by selecting the location of polling places, as many people are not willing to go to any distance to vote. In this paper we initiate the study of this manipulation. We find that while it is easy to manipulate the selection of polling places on the line, it becomes difficult already on the plane or in the case of more than two candidates. Moreover, we show that for more than two candidates the problem is inapproximable. However, we find a few restricted cases on the plane where some algorithms perform well. Finally, we discuss how existing results for standard control actions hold in the geographic setting, consider additional control actions in the geographic setting, and suggest directions for future study.

The Individual

This chapter describes how technology, progressing rapidly, and especially computer technology has become an indispensable detail in daily life. The act of playing games starting to become virtual has emerged as a progress. In these early years, when the line between place and space has started to become thinner and people began to recognize the lines of flight between the real world and the virtual world, the movie “Tron” made an attempt to explain this possibility of transitivity. 28 years after the first movie, the sequel “Tron Legacy” emphasizes that this possibility still exists. The individual, in this sea of possibilities, comes and goes between place and space and becomes distant to their temporal context, digitalized and goes through deterritorialization. The narrative of the fictional world, the game world in this fictional world, the real world and the game field in the real world will be discussed in terms of transmedia, and some assumptions will be put forward through people and therefore, the deterritorialization of the media.

According to reports in the media, there is a dearth of practical examples that students of mathematics en route to their qualification can feast upon, at either sixth form level or an undergraduate level. Despite these alleged shortages, it is this author’s opinion that there are numerous examples that can be drawn from the literature and it is the purpose of this article to address the issue by providing examples from the realms of antenna reflector theory and the use therein of conic sections. Some students will be familiar with conic sections and others might not, but the numerous instances of their manifestation in the real world would suggest that they are a force to be reckoned with, and this is certainly true from a mathematical perspective.

Criminology is a core, introductory textbook on the field of crime and criminology. It starts by looking at what crime is and the theories that try to explain it. It then considers society's response to crime. It shows how to carry out independent research and plan first steps in a career. The critical, applied approach is emphasized through some of the many features that are integrated throughout the book. These include conversations with authentic voices from the field, compelling personal insights, and challenges to the reader to question assumptions, apply knowledge, and critically reflect on their personal viewpoints. Topics covered include crime statistics, the media, victimology, youth crime, sociological positivism, crime control, punishment, and rehabilitation. The last part of the text applies theories of criminology to the real world and introduces the reader to what might be involved in a career in criminology research.

This article recognises the crucial role cultural and social contexts play in shaping individual and collective recollections. Such recollections involve multiple, intertwined levels of experience in the real world such as commemorating a war. Thus, the commemoration practised in a particular context deserves an empirical investigation. The methodological approach taken is naturalistic, as it situates commemoration as remembering and recollection in the real world of things and people. I consider the case of a war veterans’ reunion as an analogy for a pilgrimage, and in that pilgrimage-like transformative process, we can observe the dynamics of remembering that is mediated with artefacts and involves people’s interactions with the social environment. Furthermore, remembering, recollection and commemorating the war can be approached in terms of embodied interactions with culturally and historically organised materials. In this article, I will review the relevant literature on key topics and concepts including pilgrimage, transformation and liminality and communitas in order to create a theoretical framework. I present an analysis and discussion on the ethnographic fieldwork on the Burma Campaign (of the Second World War) veterans’ reunion. The article strives to contribute to the critical forum of memory research, highlighting the significance of a holistic and interdisciplinary exposition of the vital role context plays in the practice of commemorating war.

Nowadays welfare societies give the possibility of choice for the wide selection and consumption of foods. The greatest parts of diseases typical of welfare are caused the wrong nutrition. Unfortunately this has been fortified by the contradictory messages of the media. The aim of this paper to form a picture about the healthy nutrition, as well as how the people are open for the new healthy food forms. Cooperating with a fresh food company we accomplished an assessment about the reception of a new vegetable snack product named Roppancs. The survey gives a possibility for the identification of potential consumer groups. Although the survey was not representative, some conclusion can be done. The 75% of the young people would by the product. The rate is the same for the benefit of females. The real price of the vegetable snack accepted by the people is the same as of popular chips. From the opinions it is stated that this product can be popular in the circles of conscious consumers.
