Journal articles on the topic 'Barton, Bruce'

When Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., assumed the presidency of General Motors, the corporation was little known beyond Wall Street, which recognized GM simply as the holding company that controlled several nearly autonomous automakers and their subsidiaries. The following article describes how Sloan used the imagination and advertising talent of Bruce Barton to create a corporate image for GM, not only in the mind of the public, but among GM's own headquarters staff and division executives as well. Through the metaphor of the corporate “family,” Sloan and Barton finessed a potential public relations liability—the corporation's immense size—into an image of efficient cooperation and internal cohesion.

One of the last performances Vertical City (Bruce Barton and Pil Hansen) created before moving from Toronto to Calgary was Trace, which premiered at the 2014 SummerWorks festival. Crafted in a compact and intense development process with close collaborators Michelle Polak and Martin Julien, Trace marked a subtle but defining moment in our artistic trajectory. Engaging participants in ways unconceivable in our present pandemic world, it was one of our most illuminating explorations of the potential for/in deeply intimate personal exchange between performers and audience members. Trace was built on, with, and through a process of spontaneous collective reminiscence-one perhaps only conceivable within SummerWorks’ combination of careful curatorial oversight and empowering artist autonomy. Adopting similar structural and aesthetic principles, this impressionistic three-way meandering reflects back on that experience. In the process, it renders a fittingly fragmented but deeply felt ode to SummerWorks’ distinctive blend of intention, intelligence, and opportunity.

Background:IL-4 and IL-13 are related Th2 cytokines, with documented roles in allergic inflammation such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is typically thought to be a result of Th1/Th17 driven response, and blockage of this pathway (IL-23, IL-17 and TNF) has proven successful. Despite this, there is a strong genetic risk association for IL-13 and PsA(1), however, the precise role of IL-13 in PsA is presently unknown. The enthesis is the region where tendons or ligaments attach to bone, and inflammation of this site (enthesitis) is thought to be the cardinal lesion of PsA, whereas as Rheumatoid Arthritis inflammation is more synovial centric. Dupilumab is a monoclonal antibody that works by blocking the common receptor chain (IL-4α) shared by both IL-13 and IL-4. Recent studies have reported that AD patients receiving dupilumab have developed clinical enthesitis(2).Objectives:To investigate whether IL-4 and IL-13 could modulate IL-23production from entheseal myeloid cells and IL-17 production from enthseal T-cells.Methods:Healthy enthesis samples from patients undergoing surgery for non-inflammatory conditions such a lumbar decompression or scoliosis were obtained. Enthesis samples were digested and stimulated (Fig 1A) with LPS and anti-CD3 to induce IL-23 and IL-17 respectively. Samples were pre-treated with IL-4 and IL-13 to ascertain whether this modulated entheseal cytokine production.Results:Both IL-23 and IL-17 were readily induced from enthesis samples with IL-23 coming predominantly from entheseal myeloid resident cells (Fig 1B) and IL-17A from T-cells (Fig 1C). Pre-treatment of entheseal digested material with either IL-4 or IL-13 attenuated IL-23 secretion (Fig 1D). Neither IL-4 nor IL-13 was able to significantly attenuate IL-17 secretion from enthesis T-cells, however IL-13 trended downwards and IL-4 surprisingly trended upwards (Fig 1E).Conclusion:Our clinical and vitro data point towards a previously unknown role for IL-4 and IL-13 having a protective role in entheseal induction of IL23/17 axis cytokines. These findings point towards a novel explanation for IL-13 pathway SNPs in PsA and also a molecular explanation for why anti-IL4/13 therapy may induce entheseal pathology.References:[1]BOWES, J., S.

In Mary Barton and Felix Holt, Gaskell and Eliot distract readers from the violence within their novels in a number of ways: the early definition of character, the use of time to distance events, and the interruption of the narrative with long passages of time concentrating on a parallel domestic story. Their strategy is to defuse the fear of violence even as they present it. Showing violence as a result of suffering undermines the notion of the working-class man as an animalistic brute, an ‘other’ who is not quite human. Shown to be vulnerable to the pain of others, he becomes capable of suffering himself and worthy of sympathy. Accordingly, the structures of the novels are designed to suggest that violence is avoidable but through domestic change rather than political upheaval, by improving the workers' lives rather than by restructuring society.

En oposición al enfoque de implementación que señala que los diferentes actores educativos, en especial los maestros, ponen en práctica las políticas educativas siguiendo una visión lineal y vertical, numerosas investigaciones ofrecen evidencia de cómo estos se apropian de las macropolíticas en sus diferentes niveles de concreción curricular y las traducen y reinterpretan (Zavala, 2012; Castanheira et al., 2001; Unamuno, 2015). A partir de la teoría de la actuación de las políticas educativas (Ball, Maguire y Braun, 2012) y de los Nuevos Estudios de Literacidad (Brice Heath, 1983; Barton y Hamilton, 1998; Zavala, 2002; Zavala, Niño Murcia y Ames, 2004), en este artículo, analizo cómo dos maestros de un colegio público de Lambayeque hacen política en torno a la enseñanza de la lectura, desde sus realidades cotidianas y sus condiciones materiales y contextuales: mientras que uno de ellos propone una enseñanza de la lectura para aprobar el examen de admisión, el otro decide utilizar la lectura para desarrollar una visión crítica de la realidad social. Asimismo, doy cuenta de que, en la construcción de estas diferentes maneras de actuar en torno a la enseñanza de la lectura, se articulan relaciones complejas entre los actores institucionales, los discursos en torno al lenguaje y a su enseñanza en la escuela, y las prácticas y artefactos letrados que dan sentido a lo que para ellos significa leer en los últimos años de la educación secundaria.

Abstract. Across the world, nature-triggered disasters fuelled by climate change are worsening. Some two billion people have been affected by the consequences of natural hazards over the last ten years, 95% of which were weather-related (such as floods and windstorms). Fires swept across large parts of California, and in Australia caused unprecedented destruction to lives, wildlife and bush. This picture is likely to become the new normal, and indeed may worsen if unchecked. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that in some locations, disaster that once had a once-in-a-century frequency may become annual events by 2050.Disaster management needs to keep up. Good cooperation and coordination of crisis response operations are of critical importance to react rapidly and adequately to any crisis situation, while post-disaster recovery presents opportunities to build resilience towards reducing the scale of the next disaster. Technology to support crisis response has advanced greatly in the last few years. Systems for early warning, command and control and decision-making have been successfully implemented in many countries and regions all over the world. Efforts to improve humanitarian response, in particular in relation to combating disasters in rapidly urbanising cities, have also led to better approaches that grapple with complexity and uncertainty.The challenges however are daunting. Many aspects related to the efficient collection and integration of geo-information, applied semantics and situational awareness for disaster management are still open, while agencies, organisations and governmental authorities need to improve their practices for building better resilience.Gi4DM 2020 marked the 13th edition of the Geoinformation for Disaster Management series of conferences. The first conference was held in 2005 in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami which claimed the lives of over 220,000 civilians. The 2019-20 Australian Bushfire Season saw some 18.6 million Ha of bushland burn, 5,900 buildings destroyed and nearly three billion vertebrates killed. Gi4DM 2020 then was held during Covid-19 pandemic, which took the lives of more than 1,150,000 people by the time of the conference. The pandemic affected the organisation of the conference, but the situation also provided the opportunity to address important global problems.The fundamental goal of the Gi4DM has always been to provide a forum where emergency responders, disaster managers, urban planners, stakeholders, researchers, data providers and system developers can discuss challenges, share experience, discuss new ideas and demonstrate technology. The 12 previous editions of Gi4DM conferences were held in Delft, the Netherlands (March 2005), Goa, India (September 2006), Toronto, Canada (May 2007), Harbin, China (August 2008), Prague, Czech Republic (January 2009), Torino, Italy (February 2010), Antalya, Turkey (May 2011), Enschede, the Netherlands (December, 2012), Hanoi, Vietnam (December 2013), Montpellier, France (2015), Istanbul, Turkey (2018) and Prague, Czech Republic (2019). Through the years Gi4DM has been organised in cooperation with different international bodies such as ISPRS, UNOOSA, ICA, ISCRAM, FIG, IAG, OGC and WFP and supported by national organisations.Gi4DM 2020 was held as part of Climate Change and Disaster Management: Technology and Resilience for a Troubled World. The event took place through the whole week of 30th of November to 4th of December, Sydney, Australia and included three events: Gi4DM 2020, NSW Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (NSW SSSI) annual meeting and Urban Resilience Asia Pacific 2 (URAP2).The event explored two interlinked aspects of disaster management in relation to climate change. The first was geo-information technologies and their application for work in crisis situations, as well as sensor and communication networks and their roles for improving situational awareness. The second aspect was resilience, and its role and purpose across the entire cycle of disaster management, from pre-disaster preparedness to post-disaster recovery including challenges and opportunities in relation to rapid urbanisation and the role of security in improved disaster management practices.This volume consists of 22 scientific papers. These were selected on the basis of double-blind review from among the 40 short papers submitted to the Gi4DM 2020 conference. Each paper was reviewed by two scientific reviewers. The authors of the papers were encouraged to revise, extend and adapt their papers to reflect the comments of the reviewers and fit the goals of this volume. The selected papers concentrate on monitoring and analysis of various aspects related to Covid-19 (4), emergency response (4), earthquakes (3), flood (2), forest fire, landslides, glaciers, drought, land cover change, crop management, surface temperature, address standardisation and education for disaster management. The presented methods range from remote sensing, LiDAR and photogrammetry on different platforms to GIS and Web-based technologies. Figure 1 illustrates the covered topics via wordcount of keywords and titles.The Gi4DM 2020 program consisted of scientific presentations, keynote speeches, panel discussions and tutorials. The four keynotes speakers Prof Suzan Cutter (Hazard and Vulnerability Research Institute, USC, US), Jeremy Fewtrell (NSW Fire and Rescue, Australia), Prof Orhan Altan (Ad-hoc Committee on RISK and Disaster Management, GeoUnions, Turkey) and Prof Philip Gibbins (Fenner School of Environment and Society, ANU, Australia) concentrated on different aspects of disaster and risk management in the context of climate change. Eight tutorials offered exciting workshops and hands-on on: Semantic web tools and technologies within Disaster Management, Structure-from-motion photogrammetry, Radar Remote Sensing, Dam safety: Monitoring subsidence with SAR Interferometry, Location-based Augmented Reality apps with Unity and Mapbox, Visualising bush fires datasets using open source, Making data smarter to manage disasters and emergency situational awareness and Response using HERE Location Services. The scientific sessions were blended with panel discussions to provide more opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences, connect people and researchers from all over the world.The editors of this volume acknowledge all members of the scientific committee for their time, careful review and valuable comments: Abdoulaye Diakité (Australia), Alexander Rudloff (Germany), Alias Abdul Rahman (Malaysia), Alper Yilmaz (USA), Amy Parker (Australia), Ashraf Dewan (Australia), Bapon Shm Fakhruddin (New Zealand), Batuhan Osmanoglu (USA), Ben Gorte (Australia), Bo Huang (Hong Kong), Brendon McAtee (Australia), Brian Lee (Australia), Bruce Forster (Australia), Charity Mundava (Australia), Charles Toth (USA), Chris Bellman (Australia), Chris Pettit (Australia), Clive Fraser (Australia), Craig Glennie (USA), David Belton (Australia), Dev Raj Paudyal (Australia), Dimitri Bulatov (Germany), Dipak Paudyal (Australia), Dorota Iwaszczuk (Germany), Edward Verbree (The Netherlands), Eliseo Clementini (Italy), Fabio Giulio Tonolo (Italy), Fazlay Faruque (USA), Filip Biljecki (Singapore), Petra Helmholz (Australia), Francesco Nex (The Netherlands), Franz Rottensteiner (Germany), George Sithole (South Africa), Graciela Metternicht (Australia), Haigang Sui (China), Hans-Gerd Maas (Germany), Hao Wu (China), Huayi Wu (China), Ivana Ivanova (Australia), Iyyanki Murali Krishna (India), Jack Barton (Australia), Jagannath Aryal (Australia), Jie Jiang (China), Joep Compvoets (Belgium), Jonathan Li (Canada), Kourosh Khoshelham (Australia), Krzysztof Bakuła (Poland), Lars Bodum (Denmark), Lena Halounova (Czech Republic), Madhu Chandra (Germany), Maria Antonia Brovelli (Italy), Martin Breunig (Germany), Martin Tomko (Australia), Mila Koeva (The Netherlands), Mingshu Wang (The Netherlands), Mitko Aleksandrov (Australia), Mulhim Al Doori (UAE), Nancy Glenn (Australia), Negin Nazarian (Australia), Norbert Pfeifer (Austria), Norman Kerle (The Netherlands), Orhan Altan (Turkey), Ori Gudes (Australia), Pawel Boguslawski (Poland), Peter van Oosterom (The Netherlands), Petr Kubíček (Czech Republic), Petros Patias (Greece), Piero Boccardo (Italy), Qiaoli Wu (China), Qing Zhu (China), Riza Yosia Sunindijo (Australia), Roland Billen (Belgium), Rudi Stouffs (Singapore), Scott Hawken (Australia), Serene Coetzee (South Africa), Shawn Laffan (Australia), Shisong Cao (China), Sisi Zlatanova (Australia), Songnian Li (Canada), Stephan Winter (Australia), Tarun Ghawana (Australia), Ümit Işıkdağ (Turkey), Wei Li (Australia), Wolfgang Reinhardt (Germany), Xianlian Liang (Finland) and Yanan Liu (China).The editors would like to express their gratitude to all contributors, who made this volume possible.

As tecnologias digitais estão diariamente na vida das pessoas e vêm colaborando com a aprendizagem de outras línguas. O objetivo deste trabalho é depreender usos de tecnologias digitais em práticas de letramentos com língua inglesa por estudantes do ensino médio. Através de capturas de tela de redes sociais e bate-papo dos jogos, bem como entrevistas semiestruturada em grupo. Foi possível analisar interações dos estudantes do ensino médio com colegas de outros países, posicionamentos acerca do uso do inglês dentro e fora da escola, bem como indícios das condições escolares do ensino de língua inglesa. As análises dos dados baseiam-se em enfoques dos Estudos dos Letramentos e das tecnologias digitais, os quais reconhecem o valor das novas tecnologias não apenas em sala de aula, mas também em práticas vernaculares. Para os sujeitos da pesquisa, a aprendizagem que ocorre dentro do ambiente virtual, especificamente nos jogos online, se caracteriza como como autônoma e interativa, enquanto as práticas em sala de aula são percebidas como as que oportunizam a aprendizagem da escrita padrão do inglês. Entretanto, apesar de os estudantes apontarem a escola e a internet como distantes, os sujeitos não negam as contribuições da escola na aprendizagem da língua inglesa, porém não estabelecem uma ligação entre as práticas vernaculares dos jogos online e das práticas dominantes escolares.
