Full textAbstract:
This work analyses a construction of the feminine plural DP in Central Ladin, which is particularly interesting in order to inquire DP structure and the morphosyntactic dynamics triggering agreement and concord.
According to lazy concord, adjectives and modifiers in prenominal position never acquire plural marking, but only gender, whereas nouns in preadjectival position can optionally receive number features.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the composition, construction and framing of Al-Qa'ida leadership communiqués – understood as the statements, messages, interviews, written work and other output from the movement's predominant leaders: Usama bin Ladin and Ayman al-Zawahiri. The thesis argues existing research into this corpus is insufficiently rigorous, systematic and comprehensive in scope, thus failing to elucidate nuances and dynamics in the narrative of the Al-Qa'ida leadership since the movement's inception. The current study presents results from the coding of 240 communiqués produced by the two leaders from 1991 to August 2011. The analysis was informed by the literature on Collective Action Frames, which understands this material as the communicative effort of movement leaders towards identified audiences and constituents. This approach divides each message according to diagnostic, prognostic and motivational appeals contained within the narrative and assesses the impact of this collective according to its narrative fidelity (as regards the wider socio-cultural milieu), empirical credibility (in terms of consistency and continuity) and experiential commensurability (in light of experiences and realities of designated constituents). The dissemination of communiqués highlighting the values, aspirations, frustrations and grievances of Al-Qa'ida is a central objective of its leadership. This material provides the metrics to understand the way in which the movement has evolved since its formation. The leaders themselves recognise the importance of communicating with diverse audiences in this way. The longitudinal analysis of the leadership communiqués, however, found that bin Ladin and Zawahiri failed to present coherent justifications for the solutions presented or how they should be focused. Moreover, it found that the leadership failed to reflect the interests of the vast majority of Muslims, particularly in the West, and gradually denounced those it claims to represent – the Muslim ummah. This dissertation thus illustrates how Al-Qa'ida has failed as a revolutionary vanguard based on evidence garnered from a systematic and long-term analysis of the leadership's communiqués.

Full textAbstract:
The vast majority of work on question formation examines interrogatives from the perspective of just one single component of grammar, usually the syntax or the prosody. The present dissertation offers a comprehensive account of question formation addressing both the syntax and the prosody of interrogatives and the interaction between these two components of grammar in signalling the question meaning of an utterance. The present work examines question formation on the basis of four genealogically related and geographically closely located Romance varieties spoken in northern Italy: Gherdëina, Badiot, Fascian and Nònes. Given that these varieties differ only with respect to certain microparametric values whereas others remain constant, they constitute an ideal research area to study the interaction between the syntax and the prosody in question formation. The syntactic and prosodic analyses proposed are based on new empirical data. The syntactic analysis is couched within the cartographic approach and the prosodic analysis is based on Autosegmental-Metrical Phonology. This dissertation is motivated by five main research goals: - to provide a detailed description of the syntactic variation found in interrogatives in the four varieties Gherdëina, Badiot, Fascian and Nònes based on data collected by the author;
- to propose a unified syntactic analysis of the interrogatives;
- to offer a prosodic analysis of statements and questions providing new data from varieties not studied up to now in the literature;
- to establish the relation between the syntax and the prosody in question formation;
- to determine how the syntax and the prosody interact in providing clues to interrogative force for the listener as well as the speaker.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka på vilket sätt attacker utförda av al-Qaida kanhänföras till begreppet asymmetri och på vilket sätt man kan tolka den amerikanska administrationensrespons på dessa som uttryck för ett linjärt tänkande. Vidare vill jag undersöka vilka svårigheter somkan uppstå i relationen mellan en linjär omvärldsuppfattning och asymmetriska metoder. För attuppfylla syftet med uppsatsen kommer tre av al-Qaidas attacker att studeras. Dessa är: attacken mot deamerikanska ambassaderna i Afrika, 1998, attacken mot USS Cole, 2000 och attacken 11 september,2001. Rapporterna från den amerikanska administrationen efter respektive attack kommer att utgöragrunden i mitt empiriska material. Teorianknytningen grundar sig i Linda Beckermans teori om thenon-linear dynamics of war samt Steven Metz och Douglas Johnsons definitioner på asymmetri. En avuppsatsens slutsatser avseende USA och dess krig mot al-Qaida är att USA bör utveckla sinanpassningsförmåga, och för att göra detta måste deras omvärldsuppfattning och förståelsehorisontvidgas. Detta skulle sammantaget medföra en större beredskap för oväntade händelseutvecklingar samtmedföra en ökad möjlighet att ta rätta beslut, både på lång och kort sikt.The aim of this essay has been to investigate in what way attacks made by alqaidaare assignable to what is called asymmetric warfare, and in what way youcan interpret the American administration´s response and actions to thoseattacks as a result of linear thinking. Furthermore I want to analyse whatdifficulties that may appear in the relationship between linear thinking andasymmetric methods. To support and fulfil this aim I shall investigate threeattacks committed by al-Qaida, these are: the bombing of the Americanembassies in Africa in 1998, the attack on USS Cole in 2000 and the attacks on11 September 2001, and the subsequent reports made from institutions in theAmerican administration. To interpret and fulfil the purpose of the essay I useLinda Beckerman´s theory about the non linear dynamics of war, and StevenMetz´s and Douglas Johnson´s definition and theory of asymmetric forms anddimensions. One conclusion is that the United States must improve their abilityto identify the world around them and consequently improve their adaptability.In order to do this they have to broaden their horizon of comprehension andthus be better prepared for unexpected developments of events which wouldimprove the possibility of taking the right action in both short and long termperspectives.

Full textAbstract:
"In the eye of the beholder- A didactic study of Swedish teachers and textbooks in history’s reasoning about nine eleven and its aftermath" by Emmy Johansson and Emma Svanström aims to show which picture both teachers and textbooks on elementary school and upper secondary school want to mediate on the subject. The study also strives to compare the teachers view with the textbooks. To achieve these goals the study uses materials from eight interviews and fifteen textbooks. The methods are a combination of interviews and textual analysis inspired by the scientist Elizabeth D. Herman. Comparison was also included in order to be able to compare teachers and textbooks. Content analysis and sentence centralization was used in order to analyze the materials. Finally the study used a combination of theoretical concepts which included history didactics, historically consciousness and facts about the production of textbooks. The results show that although there is a great variation in how teachers as well as textbooks reason about the subject there are also many similar thoughts and presentations. This is the case for as well teachers as textbooks and the comparison between them. The study also reveal that although teachers are skeptical about the textbooks they are both needed to form a good education. But such a combination would still leave some effects unmentioned to the students.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this study is to contribute to a theory of the causes of the Latin American international debt in the framework of the sociology of change and development, which has analyzed international debt only in passing. The study first examines international debt in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from the elaboration of the world-system up to the economic depression of the 1930s. Using data from the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, the Economic Commission for Latin America and other primary and secondary sources, the thesis analyses the process which begins after the Second World War and the efforts to create a new international financial order at Bretton Woods which has led to the contemporary debt crisis that has been especially severe in Latin America.
The study indicates that debt crises are a recurrent phenomenon. It is suggested that the periodic occurrence of debt crisis is due to the functioning of capitalist production and accumulation. It is further argued that the cycle of debt begins with an excessive accumulation of money in the financial markets, and that this excessive liquidity is the result of depressive tendencies in the productive sectors of the economy. To solve the problem of diminished circulation, banks and other financial institutions energetically promote off—shore lending, which increases international indebtedness. A coincidence of interests between a segment of the ruling elites in debtor countries, and the financial sectors in the creditor countries tends to increase the debt load and exacerbate economic problems. This has been particularly the case in Latin America since the 1960s which has led to the crisis of the 1980S.
The thesis suggests that, contrary to common belief, the international capitalist system can emerge from debt crisis with added strength. The self-serving pattern of elite management of such crisis, however, reinforces and deepens social and economic inequalities.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines certain aspects of Scottish Latin, particularly in the period 1580-1637. The first chapter chronicles the endeavours of John Scot of Scotstarvet to compile an anthology of Scottish Latin poetry, based on the unpublished letters to Scot in the NLS. Both the letters and contemporary verse indicate that the project was under way twenty years before the Delitiae was printed and that John Leech was an important influence. Leech's letters to Scot highlight Scot's editorial reticence, confirmed by the alterations in Scotstarvet's own verse. The final product was more a reflection of the taste and ethos of the early 1620s, after which Scot apparently ceased to collect material. The second chapter documents the attempts to impose a national grammar upon the schools, akin to the Lily-Colet grammar in England. Attempts to provide a radical alternative to Despauter, firstly by a committee and later by Alexander Hume, were inhibited by the inherent conservatism of teaching establishments. The most successful of the new grammars, those by Wedderburn and the Dunbar Rudiments, remained as general introductions to Despauter. Evidence for the composition of Latin verse in schools and universities, both statutory and manuscript, is assessed in the third chapter. Active involvement in the practice by local authorities influenced the range and extent of verse being written after 1600. The poetry of David Wedderburn of Aberdeen, promoted by the town council, reflects that influence. The importance of teaching methods upon a poet's future development is most clearly seen in the verse of David Hume, discussed in the fourth chapter. Hume continually re-works and re-evaluates the themes of his adolescent verse, measuring them against the achievements of James VI, whose birth he had earlier celebrated. The thesis concludes with a check-list of Scots whose Latin verse was printed before 1640.

Isaza, Laura Rodriguez. "Branding Latin America : film festivals and the international circulation of Latin American films." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2012. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3408/.
Full textAbstract:
Despite receiving little academic attention throughout most of their history, film festivals have become the ‘natural’ background were most world cinema films are assessed both in terms of their artistic value and their potential for international consumption. Based on their cultural prestige, their crowd-gathering ability and hierarchical dynamics festivals create a multilayered filtering system that determines the varying artistic reputations of films and filmmakers as they travel from one event to another. However, the economic interests and geopolitical biases embedded in the Euro-American dominated system raise challenging questions about festivals’ criteria of artistic quality and supposedly objective ability to map world cinema. While festivals have become strategic regulators of world cinema traffic they affect both the commercial possibilities of individual Latin American films in global markets and the interpretive frameworks through which world cinema is assessed and understood. Using a theoretical framework drawn from the discipline of sociology of art, this research uses the concept of the ‘film festival world’ to analyse the international reception of Latin American cinemas as part of a cultural and industrial process of selection of the ‘best’ films from the region. First, it examines the film festival phenomenon in terms of its interaction with the global film industry and the marketing of film products for foreign audiences. Second, it analyses the international historical reception of key Latin American films from the expansion of the film festival circuit in the 1940s. Thirdly, it studies how contemporary films from the region continue to be assessed and interpreted across the film festival world in accordance with contingent notions of quality and well-established auteurist models. Thus, this thesis argues that the ‘Latin American cinema’ brand has been defined in close connection with the contingent ideas and practices of the film festival world, becoming an interpretive framework that enables the international positioning of cinemas from the region both as cultural artefacts and commercial products.

Sabri, Mohammad. "Proximity-Labeling of Near Neighbors of Lamin A and Lamin A-Δ50 (PROGERIN)." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2013. https://dc.etsu.edu/honors/100.
Full textAbstract:
In an attempt to isolate and identify proteins that differentially interact with or locate near lamin A and progerin, we used a previously described method named BioID (proximity-dependent biotin identification). This method is based on fusion of a promiscuous E. coli biotin-protein ligase (BL) to a targeting protein (in this study, lamin A-GFP and progerin-GFP). The biotin ligase biotinylates amino residues in proteins that are near-neighbors of the fusion protein. To create the fusion proteins, BL was sub-cloned from a pcDNA3.1 MCS-BirA(R118G)-HA plasmid donated by Kyle Roux from University of South Dakota. The BL fragment was ligated into a pNEBR-X1-lamin A-GFP and pNEBR-X1-progerin-GFP which inducibly express the fusion proteins in mammalian cells, under control of pNEBR-R1 Rheoswitch regulator plasmid.
Two stable cell lines expressing the GFP-BL-lamin A and GFP-BL-progerin chimeras were created. The expression of the chimeras was induced by incubation with 500nM of GenoStat for 24 hours in the presence of 50mM Biotin. Biotinylated proteins were isolated from cell lysates by incubation with streptavidin magnetic beads. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and sent for identification by mass spectrometry. In conclusion, we isolated multiple proteins that differentially associate with and/or are proximate to lamin A and progerin in vivo. The identification of such proteins may shed light into the mechanism by which progerin causes its deleterious effects. The purpose of this research is to attempt to identify the neighboring proteins that differentially interact with or locate near lamin A and progerin.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche sur corpus a pour objet les emplois de quando (quandoque, quandoquidem, quandocumque) dans différents genres textuels du latin préclassique au latin postclassique. À partir du CD-ROM de la Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina nous avons répertorié les occurrences de quando dans les Comédies de Plaute, les Discours de Cicéron, le De rerum natura de Lucrèce, l’Histoire romaine de Tite-Live et les Traités philosophiques de Sénèque. En principe, le terme en kw- peut servir d’adverbe interrogatif, indéfini ou relatif et de conjonction temporelle ou causale. Or la distinction de ces différents emplois ne peut se faire à l’aide de procédés classificatoires qui prendraient comme cadre d’analyse maximal la phrase en raison d’ambiguïtés sémantiques et d’interférences fonctionnelles entre types de subordonnées. Aussi optons-nous pour une approche macro-syntaxique tenant compte des relations dépassant le segment phrastique et alliant les points de vue morpho-syntaxique et sémantico-énonciatif. D’abord, l’étude de quando, terme polyvalent susceptible de fonctionner à plusieurs niveaux de la structure phrastique, nous amène à nous interroger sur les niveaux d’insertion et la fonction de quando dans la phrase. Ainsi, les interférences fonctionnelles entre relatif et conjonction temporelle mettent en évidence la perméabilité des frontières entre fonctions syntaxiques. Ensuite, l’ambiguïté sémantique invite à dépasser le strict cadre phrastique et à considérer les inférences contextuelles du terme étudié en vue de distinguer notamment la valeur temporelle de la valeur causale de quando. Enfin, l’outil grammatical ne peut être appréhendé sans considération de sa valeur illocutoire. Par la grande diversité d’actes réalisés, l’analyse des emplois interrogatifs peut révéler certaines caractéristiques liées à l’écriture générique. Dans une approche empruntée à la grammaire fonctionnelle sera étudiée enfin la portée du terme au niveau du discours. Une telle analyse s’avère nécessaire pour caractériser l’emploi causal, dans la mesure où ce dernier intervient au niveau interpersonnel et non référentiel, et joue, dans la terminologie de la grammaire fonctionnelle, le rôle de satellite disjoint. En ce sens, cette étude prouve l’utilité d’une approche éclectique dans l’analyse des emplois de quando : le recours à différentes approches linguistiques, selon les besoins de l’interprétation, met en évidence la complémentarité des points de vue morpho-syntaxique et sémantico-pragmatique dans une description empirique des faits de langue et de discours visant à définir, à partir de données textuelles apparemment disparates, les valeurs de base des différents emplois de quando. L’intérêt de l’étude réside ainsi dans la polyvalence du terme, permettant d’aborder un large éventail de problèmes linguistiques voire extralinguistiques liés à la structure phrastique, au texte et à la situation de discoursThis corpus-based study analyses the use of quando (quandoque, quandoquidem, quandocumque) in different textual genres from Early to Postclassical Latin. From the Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina CD-ROM (BTL-4) we have listed the instances of quando in Plaute’s Comedies, Cicero’s Discourses, Lucretius’ De rerum natura, Livy’s History of Rome and Seneca’s Moral Essays. Quando can be used as an interrogative, indefinite and relative adverb or as a temporal or causal conjunction. But the classification of these different uses is not possible without a macro-syntactic approach that combines morpho-syntactic, semantic and enunciative points of view. First, the study of this multifunctional term raises the question of its integration in the sentence structure. Thus the functional interference of its use as a relative adverb and as a temporal conjunction shows that the frontiers between syntactical functions are malleable. Furthermore, the semantic ambiguity invites us to extend the analyses to the contextual inferences to distinguish for instance its temporal and causal use. Moreover we cannot analyse the use of quando without considering its illocutionary force: for instance the questions introduced by quando perform a great variety of speech acts which reveal certain characteristics of the literary genre. Finally, the methods of Functional Grammar are necessary to study the level quando affects in the sentence structure, as the causal subordinate clause provides information on the interpersonal level and can be considered as a disjunct satellite. In the light of these considerations, it is evident that an eclectic approach is necessary to study the use of quando: only different linguistic approaches, combining the morpho-syntactic, semantic and enunciative point of view in an empirical description of its occurrences, can define the value of the different uses of quando. Thus the significance of this study resides in the multifunctionality of quando which allows us to consider a large variety of linguistic and extra-linguistic problems occurring not only at multiple levels of the sentence structure, but extended even to the larger context of the speech interaction and intimately linked to the authors writing techniques and the speakers discursive intentions

Bender, Jacob. "Latin labyrinths, Celtic knots: modernism and the dead in Irish and Latin American literature." Diss., University of Iowa, 2017. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/5714.
Full textAbstract:
The Irish throughout their tumultuous history immigrated not only to North America but across Latin America, particularly to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. Ireland and many of these Latin American countries share a close yet under-examined relationship, inasmuch as they are predominantly Catholic, post-colonial, hybrid populations with fraught immigrant experiences abroad and long histories of resisting Anglo-centric imperialism at home. More particularly, the peoples of these nations engage intimately with the dead (as shown, for example, by the Mexican Day of the Dead and Celtic roots of Halloween), and the dead appear frequently in literature from these countries that takes up issues of colonialism and anti-colonial struggles. The dead can function as repositories for forgotten history and allies in counter-imperial struggle; these roles become particularly important in the 20th century, wherein the forces of economic modernization have rushed to erase the memories of the dead. From the speech of the dead in the prose works of Juan Rulfo, Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Samuel Beckett, and Carlos Fuentes, to the anticolonial poetics of William Butler Yeats and Julia de Burgos, this thesis examines how these two regions have, both in parallel and in concert, utilized the dead to bolster various nationalistic projects. This dissertation also explores patterns of Irish/Latin American literary citation and influence, tracing, for example, how Jorge Luis Borges’s responded to James Joyce, or how a scene from Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels is re-enacted in the novels of Flann O’Brien and Gabriel García Márquez. This project contributes to comparative approaches to Irish literary and modernist studies, improves our nascent understanding of how the Irish and Latin Americans have interacted throughout their overlapping histories, and expands our comprehension of how the dead have been and continue to be utilized across the developing world to resist economic neo-colonialism.

Klinkenberg, Joy. "Transition in Particle-laden Flows." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Stabilitet, Transition, Kontroll, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-133303.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the study of laminar to turbulent transition of particle laden flows. When a flow becomes turbulent, the drag increases one order of magnitude compared to a laminar flow, therefore, much research is devoted to understand and influence the transition. Previous research at the Linne Flow Centre at KTH has concentrated on the understanding of the bypass transition process of single-phase fluids. Though there are still questions, the principles of this process are now, more or less, known. However, little is known of the influence of particles on transition. While experiments in the 1960s already showed that particles can reduce the friction in turbulent channel flows significantly. The question explored in this thesis is whether this can be attributed to their influence on transition. The initial onset of transition has been investigated with both modal and non-modal linear stability analysis in a Poiseuille flow between two parallel plates. Particles are introduced as a second fluid and they are considered to be solid, spherical and homogeneously distributed. When the fluid density is much smaller than the particle density, ξ (≡ ρf/ρp) << 1, an increase of the critical Reynolds number is observed. However, transient growth of streamwise vortices resulting in streaks is not affected by inclusion of particles. Particles with ξ ∼ 1 hardly seem to have an effect on stability. Although linear analysis shows that particles hardly influence the transient growth of disturbances, they might affect other (non-linear) stages of transition. To investigate such effects, the full Navier-Stokes equations for 3D Poiseuille flow between two parallel plates are numerically solved and particles are introduced as points with two-way coupling. For particles in a channel flow with ξ<<1, results show that the transition to turbulence is delayed for mass fractions ƒ (=mp N / ρf) larger than 0.1. For a mass fraction of ƒ=0.4 the initial disturbance energy needed to get a turbulent flow increases with a factor of four. Even if lower particle mass fractions ƒ are used, locally there could be large particle mass fractions. Therefore, the next step is to investigate the generation of local large particle mass fractions ƒ. Such particle clusters can be as large as the typical flow structures in the flow, like streak width and vortex size. Then they might change the flow field and (in)stability mechanisms. Numerical simulations of bypass transition in a boundary layer flow are used to determine whether particles cluster and where they tend to cluster. It is found that point particles with ξ<<1 and a large particle relaxation time tend to move in the low speed regions of the flow. In case of streaks, the low speed streaks are most favourable. For smaller particle relaxation times, particles act as tracers and do not have a preferential position and are homogeneously distributed. For particles with ξ∼1 the linear stability analysis showed no transition effect at any ƒ. However, one effect neglected until now is that of particle size. For particles with dimensions of the same order of magnitude of the flow disturbance, particles might influence the flow field. To investigate whether such particles migrate towards positions where they can affect transition some exploratory numerical simulations and experiments are performed. Numerically, the lateral migration of large particles (H/d=5) with ξ=1 in a 3D Poiseuille flow between two parallel plates is investigated. In laminar channel flow, large particles tend to move laterally due to shear to an equilibrium position. For a single large particle some key parameters for migration are identified: the size of the particle and the velocity of the fluid. When multiple particles are present, they tend to form particle trains. If particles are close, they influence each other and the equilibrium position shifts towards the wall, where the final position is dependent on the inter particle spacing. Also, not one steady equilibrium position is present, but particles move around an equilibrium position. Experimentally, migration of particles in bypass transition with ξ=1 is investigated to find out whether neutrally buoyant particles have a preferential position within streaks. The first results with tracer particles (d∼50μm) and few large particles (d∼200μm) do not show detectable preferential positioning.QC 20131030

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers problems concerning Latin squares and sets of mutually quasiorthogonal Latin squares (MQOLS). We show how MQOLS are related to a number of other designs and establish bounds on Nq(n), the maximum number of Latin squares of order n in a mutually quasi-orthogonal set. We report the number of quasi-complete mappings admitted by each group of order 15 or less, and explain the surprising result that each of the non-cyclic groups of order 8 possesses exactly 384 complete mappings. For each group G of order 15 or less, we identify the sizes of all maximal sets of mutually orthogonal orthomorphisms. We also identify a number of new maximal sets for larger groups. We present a method to determine all proper, maximal sets of MQOLS of order n and carry this out for n < 6. Also we present a search for 3 MQOLS of order 10, which, whilst not identifying such a set, led to the identification of all resolutions of each (10,3, 2)-balanced incomplete block design. We give a construction for MQOLS based on groups, and use this to determine new sets of 2n - 1 MQOLS of order 2n based on two infinite classes of group. Existence results for MQOLS based on groups are also extended. Two constructions for (n x n)/k semi-Latin squares are given, one of which provides some new A-, D- and E-optimal examples with k > n which out-perform the existing A-, D- and E-optimal examples in the E'-criteria. Finally we consider the problem of determining invertible directed terraces of each non-abelian group of order < 21, and in so doing construct the first doubly balanced bipartite tournament of odd order.

Particles are present in many industrial processes and in nature. Dry granular flows and suspensions have been well studied and present a broad range of problems in terms of rheology and instabilities. In both cases, new phenomena are continually discovered. Indeed, complex behavior can be exhibited whether the granular media acts like a solid, a liquid or a gas. Moreover, the flow of thin liquid films on solid surfaces is a significant phenomenon in nature and in industrial processes (e.g. manufacture of computer chips, solar power cells, capacitors, etc.), where uniformity and completeness of wetting are paramount in importance. Two instabilities in particle-laden flows down an inclined plate are experimentally investigated and compared to theoretical predictions and scaling analysis. One of the fundamental coating flow geometries is the simple wetting of an inclined plane by a thin and uniform liquid film draining under gravity. It is well-known that, in a clear fluid, this leads to a fingering instability of the contact line. We perform experiments in this geometry using a mixture of silicone oil (1000 cSt) and heavy glass particles (d = 2.6) with a broad range of beads diameters, concentrations and angles. Small beads (106-212 [mu]m) do not present any new behavior since they are just convected by the flow and do not sediment fast enough to perturb it. A suspension with larger particles (250-425 ,[mu]m) exhibits different regimes depending on the angle and the concentration. For very high slopes and very dense suspensions a large ridge is formed at the contact line and does not break in regular fingers as observed previously. Quantitative measurements are performed using a laser sheet coupled
(cont.) to a high-performance digital camera and compared to scaling analysis. A flow of suspension with no contact line may also be gravitationally instable. Shear-induced migration of particles can provoke an inversion of density which is the driving force of a Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Qualitative experimental results are compared to recent theories.

Full textAbstract:
Pro gradu -tutkielmani käsittelee opiskelumotivaatioon vaikuttavia tekijöitä kansalaisopiston musiikinopetuksessa. Syrjäseuduilla kansalaisopisto on usein ainoa musiikinopetusta antava taho ja pitkät välimatkat antavat omat haasteensa opetuksen järjestämiseen. Kohdealueena tässä tutkimuksessa on Länsi-Lapin kolme kansalaisopistoa: Kolarin kansalaisopisto, Meän opisto sekä Muonion kansalaisopisto. Nämä opistot valikoituivat mukaan tutkimukseen maantieteellisen sijaintinsa, kokonsa sekä kunnan infrastruktuurin perusteella.
Musiikinopiskelijan opiskelumotivaatio voi vaihdella suuresti. Motivaatio voi olla jo soiton- tai laulunopiskelun aloitusvaiheessa opiskelijoilla keskenään kovin erilainen: jollakin voi olla valtava palo oppia uutta, kun toisella puolestaan oma kiinnostus ei ole niin suuri. Tavoitteena onkin selvittää, että millaisista lähtökohdista oppilas saa suurimman motivaatiotason, millä korkeaa motivaatiotasoa saa pidettyä yllä ja miksi joku haluaa lopettaa harrastuksensa. Motivaatiotasolla on suora yhteys myös oppimisen tehokkuuteen. Tutkimuskysymykseni onkin, mitkä tekijät motivoivat ja toisaalta eivät motivoi Länsi-Lapin kansalaisopistojen musiikinopiskelijoita.
Tutkimus suoritettiin sähköisenä strukturoituna kyselytutkimuksena. Valitsin kvantitatiivisen tutkimuksen, koska halusin saada määrällisesti suuren ja edustavan otoksen. Kyselykutsuja lähetettiin tutkimuksessa mukana olevien kansalaisopistojen iältään vähintään seitsemänvuotiaille musiikinopiskelijoille yhteensä 151 kappaletta. Kyselyyn vastasi 55 soiton- ja laulunopiskelijaa. Kysymykset perustuivat pitkälti Erja Kososen (1996) määrittelemiin motivaatiotekijöihin soitonopetuksessa.
Aineisto analysoitiin kvantitatiivisin menetelmin. Tilastollinen analyysi paljasti muun muassa, että tyytyväisyys opetukseen ja opistoihin oli varsin hyvä. Korrelaatioanalyysi selvitti motivaatiotekijöiden ja motivaatiotason syy-yhteyksiä; opiskelijan sisäiset motivaatiotekijät olivat tutkimuksessa vahvimmat motivaattorit musiikinopiskelussa. Näistä sisäisistä motivaatioista opiskelijan omaan persoonaan liittyvät positiiviset motiivit sekä soittamiseen ja sen tuottamiin elämyksiin perustuvat motiivit koettiin tutkimuksessa vahvimmiksi motivoiviksi tekijöiksi.
Tutkimuksen tulokset ovat osin käyttökelpoisia myös muualla Suomessa, varsinkin syrjäseuduilla, ottaen huomioon opistojen erilaisuudet (esim. opiston henkilöstö, muut harrastusmahdollisuudet). Kyselyyn vastanneista noin kolmasosa oli omia oppilaitani, mutta olen painottanut sekä tutkimuskutsussa että henkilökohtaisissa kohtaamisissa anonymiteettiä, joten en usko sen vaikuttavan merkittävästi tulosten luotettavuuteen. Osa vastaajista oli varsin nuoria, joten ohjeistin tämän vuoksi tutkimuskutsussa huoltajia ohjaamaan opiskelijoita itsenäiseen vastaamiseen sekä alle kymmenvuotiaiden huoltajia tarvittaessa avustamaan kyselyyn vastaamisessa. Tuloksista soiton- ja laulunopettajat voivat löytää ne seikat, jotka ovat heidän vaikutuspiirissään ja näin vaikuttaa opiskelijoidensa motivaatiotasoon.
Jatkotutkimusaiheena olisi mielenkiintoista tutkia pitkittäistutkimuksena musiikinopiskelijoiden motivaatiotasoja ja niihin vaikuttaneita tekijöitä.

Full textAbstract:
x, 157 h. : il. ; 30 cmTecport América Latina es un distribuidor regional de maquinaria portuaria con presencia actual en Perú y Brasil. Tecport es un grupo joven de empresas, que intenta ganar cuota de mercado en una industria madura con guerra de precios. Internamente, el grupo cuenta con recursos humanos limitados ubicados en diferentes países, con diferencia culturales y de zona horaria. Además, existe una alta vulnerabilidad debido a que el negocio depende de un acuerdo exclusivo con un productor italiano de maquinaria. La organización está aperturando una nueva sede en Chile, que está comenzando sus operaciones muy pronto. Al hacerlo, un problema de la transferencia y gestión de conocimientos entre oficinas se hizo evidente. La solución a este problema sería determinar la forma en que el conocimiento puede ser transferido eficientemente; de tal manera que los procesos del negocio sean más productivos y sostenibles en el tiempo. Las técnicas aplicadas para la resolución de problemas son design thinking, estrategia basada en el cliente, y estrategia de ventas a largo plazo. Para decidir la major solución, se elaboró una matriz con mediciones de impactos en la calidad, el costo y el tiempo, y los riesgos asociados. La solución propuesta es establecer un programa de gestión de procesos empresariales, que tiene como objetivo conectar la cadena de suministro y la gestión con el cliente; a través de la optimización de los procesos. Esto le permite a Tecport LA alcanzar inteligencia empresarial estratégica en el largo plazo. En el corto plazo, los administradores son capaces de supervisar y controlar toda la organización. El plan de implementación involucrará a los empleados clave en la organización desde la etapa de diseño, para garantizar su compromiso basado en responsabilidad propia. Estas actividades tienen por objeto no sólo preparar a la empresa para utilizar la solución propuesta, sino también para analizar los indicadores clave de rendimiento, que evaluarán la eficiencia de los empleados que utilizan esta herramienta
Tecport Latin America is a regional distributor of port machinery with current presence in Peru and Brazil. Tecport is a young group of companies attempting to gain market share in a mature industry with price war. Internally, the group has limited human resources placed in different countries with cultural and time zones differences. Apart from that, there is a high vulnerability because its business depends on an exclusive agreement with one Italian producer of machinery. The organization is opening a new subsidiary in Chile, which is starting its operations very soon. When doing so, a problem of knowledge transfer and management between offices became apparent. The solution to this problem would be to determine a way in which knowledge could be transferred in an effective way that would make business processes more productive and sustainable in time. The techniques applied for the problem solving are design thinking, customer-based strategy, and the long-term sales strategy. To support the decision of the most effective solution to propose, a matrix was developed measuring impacts in quality, cost and time, and associated risks. The proposed solution is to establish a Business Process Management program, which aims to connect Supply Chain and Client Relationship Management, through the optimization of processes. It allows Tecport LA to achieve strategic business intelligence in the long term. In the short term, managers are able to better control and oversee the entire organization. The implementation plan will involve the key employees in the organization since the design stage to guarantee their commitment based on own responsibility. These activities are intended to not only prepare the company to use the proposed solution, but also to analyze key performance indicators, expected to evaluate the efficiency of the employees using this tool

Full textAbstract:
La distinction entre valeurs actualisées et valeurs inférées permet de déterminer la concession explicite et la concession implicite et de distinguer les marqueurs spécifiquement concessifs des autres marqueurs susceptibles de produire un effet de sens. Ce travail établit un répertoire de ces mots introducteurs ; il examine leurs valeurs d'origine et leur grammaticalisation - aspects qui servent de point de départ pour la synchronie du latin tardif. Fondé sur un large corpus (oeuvres des IVe et Ve siècles), l'examen des expressions concessives s'ouvre sur le type largement représenté : la concessive. Son analyse se développe à partir de huit critères syntaxiques (position, mode et temps verbaux. . . ), auxquels se superpose un classement sémantique (concessive simple, hypothétique, scalaire et "confrontative"). La concession explicite, signalée par des marqueurs concessifs, trouve de riches expressions au niveau des constituants propositionnels (micro-syntaxe). Si "tamen" continue d'être l'adverbe d'énoncé intraphrastique par excellence ; d'autres mots introducteurs peuvent désormais assurer des fonctions similaires. L'analyse des propriétés syntaxiques et sémantiques des marqueurs concessifs concurrentiels conduit à une synthèse ayant pour objet d'établir leur synonymie. Cette dernière est vérifiée par un examen statistique (méthode des écarts réduits). Les marqueurs concessifs sont sujets à un renouvellement des signifiants, dû à l'estompement de leur signification. Tous ces chapitres sont accompagnés d'une présentation statistique des données sous forme de tableaux et de graphiques. Enfin, la concession non explicite se caractérise par des constitutions variées - les subordonnées en "cum", "dum", "qui", locutions concessives, subjonctif concessif, impératif ou constructions coordonnantes.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude tente de mettre en évidence une triple spécificité : spécificité de l'adverbe comme partie du discours, spécialité, à l'intérieur de la classe adverbiale, de l'ensemble des adverbes de temps, et spécificité, parmi ces derniers, de différents groupes adverbiaux. Ainsi les adverbes se distinguent des compléments circonstanciels équivalents par un "raccourci d'analyse", et on peut également opposer la détermination adverbiale à la détermination adjectivale par son "caractère diffus" : ce qui nous amené à définir un mode de détermination propre à l'adverbe : l'adjonction. D'autre part, les adverbes de temps se singularisent à l'intérieur de la classe adverbiale du fait qu'ils sont les seuls à compléter par leur contenu notionnel des données véhiculées par la morphologie verbale; mais tous les adverbes de temps ne le font pas de la même façon; ainsi, on peut en particulier souligner l'opposition entre les adverbes utilisant un point de repère temporel, et par là-même étroitement en rapport avec le fonctionnement temporel de la forme verbale - donc susceptibles de préférences ou d'incompatibilités avec les temps verbaux - et les adverbes n'impliquent aucun repère de ce type, dont l'emploi se fait ainsi de façon plus indépendante par rapport au temps de verbeThis study attempts to establish a triple specificity: specificity of adverb as a part of speech, specificity, inside the adverbial class, of time adverb, and specificity, among the latter, of several adverbial groups. To begin with, adverbs differ from adverbial complements by a rather «shorter analysis» ; and they may, too, be distinguished from adjectives by their more diffuse way of modifying a group of words. Therefore, we are brought to define the adverb by this peculiar way of modification, called "adjunction". Then, time adverbs are conspicuous inside the adverbial class by being the only ones who complete with their semantic content information usually given by verbal morphology. But there are several kinds of associations between verb and adverb: for instance, we must emphasize the opposition between adverbs implying a reference date, who are tightly connected with the temporal behavior of the verb - and may consequently have preferences or incompatibilities with verbal tenses - and adverbs no such references, that are used, therefore, more independently of the verbal tenses

Julia, Marie-Ange. "Le supplétisme verbal en latin." Paris 4, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA040219.
Full textAbstract:
Le supplétisme, processus universel dans l'évolution des langues, concerne peu de verbes en latin mais ceux-ci sont particulièrement fréquents. Les sujets parlants opèrent une extension de certaines formes, qui préexistaient dans un paradigme verbal donné, et leur confèrent une nouvelle fonction : elles entrent dans un autre paradigme verbal, soit pour remplacer certains formes défectueuses, dont les défauts gênaient le caractère opérationnel et fonctionnel, soit pour remplir des positions restées inoccupées dans le second paradigme. Le but de la communauté linguistique est d'avoir à sa disposition un paradigme verbal complet, où toutes les formes soient opérationnelles et capables de remplir leur fonction. Le remplacement peut concerner en latin un thème dans son ensemble – un thème d'infectum ou de perfectum -, ou bien seulement un temps – très souvent le présent de l'indicatif -, ou un mode - généralement l'impératif et le participe -, ou seulement une forme personnelle précise – le plus souvent les première et deuxième personnes du singulier. Le phénomène est bien illustré en latin par les lexèmes “aller” (īre, uādere, ambulāre, etc. ), “porter” (ferre, portāre, tollere, etc. ), “guérir” (medērī, sānāre, cūrāre, medicāre/-ī) et “manger” (ēsse, comedere, mandūcāre, etc. ). Nous proposons une progression en quatre phases. A côté de l'ancien verbe non marqué et usuel, apparaît une variante marquée, sémantiquement plus spécifique et plus “forte”, qui tend à se généraliser dans l'usage de la langue jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit véritablement grammaticalisée à l'intérieur du paradigme. A ce stade final, quand le supplétisme est acquis, on observe une inversion de fréquence entre l'ancienne et la nouvelle forme (la forme installée par supplétisme, devenant la forme orthonymique, a la plus haute fréquence, tandis que la forme plus ancienne, qui n'est plus orthonymique désormais, n'a plus qu'une fréquence inférieure) et une inversion pour ce qui est du caractère marqué ou non marqué (la forme antérieurement marquée devient non marquée et la forme antérieurement non marquée devient marquée )Suppletion, a universal process in linguistic evolution, concerns a few Latin verbs with a very high frequency. The speakers extend some pre-existing forms from an existing paradigm to a new function : they enter another verbal paradigm, either as a replacement for some forms which have strong defects that impede them from being fully functional, or in order to fulfill positions which have been left unoccupied. The aim of the speakers is to have at their disposal a complete verbal paradigm, where each form is able to be fully functional. The replacement in Latin may concern a whole stem (either an infectum or a perfectum stem), or only a tense (often the present indicative) or a mood (mainly the imperative and the participle), or just one personal form (often the 1st and 2nd person sg. ). The development of the phenomenon, clearly illustrated in Latin by the various verbs meaning “go” (īre, uādere, ambulāre, etc. ), “bear, carry” (ferre, portāre, tollere, etc. ), “cure” (medērī, sānāre, cūrāre, medicāre/-ī) and “eat” (ēsse, comedere, mandūcāre, etc. ), can be analysed in four phases. Next to the old, unmarked and most common verb, appears a marked variant, semantically more specific and stronger, which tends then to be generalised until it is fully grammaticalized inside the paradigm. At that final point, there is an inversion of frequency between the old and the new form (the new suppletive form, becoming the “normal” form, is found with the highest frequency, while the old form, which is not the “normal” form any more, has a lower frequency), and, by another inversion, the previously marked form becomes unmarked and the previously unmarked form becomes a marked one

Full textAbstract:
Empirical research on political parties has shed light on many aspects of party organization and behavior. Unfortunately, there is a great deal that we do not know about small parties, especially in presidential systems. I take a two-pronged approach to studying small parties in Latin America's presidential regimes. First, I examine the factors that impact the election of small parties across Latin America's democratic regimes from 1980 to 1998, accounting for both institutional and cultural factors. Next, I move toward an examination of the representation and governance roles that small parties play in three carefully selected presidential democracies: Chile, Colombia, and Venezuela. Since small parties are rarely studied, it is unclear what, if any, impact they have on the representativeness of the political system. Small parties may act as promoters of new policies which reside outside the boundaries of traditionally dominant parties. This may mean identifying with issues that are important to those sectors of society that have been ignored (e.g. minority rights) or representing new issues that cut across sectors of society (e.g. decentralization). Alternatively, they may promote mainstream issues, or they may have no substantive policy import (acting primarily as personalistic vehicles). With respect to governance roles, they may play an important supportive role in major party coalitions. Indeed, their coalition behavior may substantively impact the legitimacy of the system by supporting minority governments.

Full textAbstract:
While previous research has identified religion as an influence of fertility, how context changes the nature of that relationship remains little understood. Using census data from Brazil, Chile and Mexico, this study examines whether the high fertility pattern of one pronatalist, American-born religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) translates to the Latin American context. Results indicate that it does, but only inconsistently as the pronatalist pattern is masked by members' educational attainment and mixed religion marriages. When these attributes are accounted for LDS fertility is high in Latin America, especially among the more educated. This study highlights both the importance of member characteristics in influencing fertility and the role of selective recruiting in determining how and whether these characteristics vary by context.

Full textAbstract:
Les expériences de laboratoire montrent que, même dans des solutions très diluées, l’interaction des polymères avec des écoulements fluides peut modifier considérablement les propriétés des écoulements turbulents ou, si l’écoulement est laminaire, peut déclencher un nouveau type de mouvement irrégulier appelé «turbulence élastique». Les écoulements dans un tel régime dynamique sont prometteurs pour améliorer l'efficacité du mélange dans les applications microfluidiques, qui impliquent souvent la présence d'impuretés de taille finie en suspension, telles que des particules solides petites et lourdes. La compréhension de la dispersion des particules dans les écoulements à grand nombre de Reynolds des fluides newtoniens et non newtoniens a déjà été abordée dans des études antérieures, qui ont mis en évidence des effets à la fois à grande et à petite échelle et est un sujet d'intérêt à la fois fondamental et pour des applications environnementales ou industrielles par exemple. Cependant, la dynamique des particules dans les écoulements élastiques et turbulents reste encore peu explorée. L’étude ici vise à étudier les propriétés d’agrégation de particules matérielles ponctuelles (plus lourdes que le fluide porteur) dans les fluides viscoélastiques dans des conditions de turbulence élastique (c’est-à-dire dans le cas de faible inertie du fluide et de grande élasticité). Nous effectuons des simulations numériques directes bi-dimensionelles d’écoulements périodiques avec cisaillement moyen de Kolmogorov avec des solutions de polymères dilués décrites par le modèle Oldroyd-B. Les caractéristiques à petite et grande échelle de la distribution résultante inhomogène de particules sont examinées, en se concentrant sur leur connexion avec la structure sous-jacente de l’écoulement . Notre analyse révèle que les particules sont préférentiellement regroupées dans des régions où les polymères sont instantanément maximalement étirés. L’intensité d’un tel phénomène dépend de l’interaction paramétrée par le nombre de Stokes, entre l’inertie des particules et l’échelle de temps typique associée à l’écoulement de turbulence élastique, et est la plus grande pour des valeurs intermédiaires d’inertie de particules. En particulier, il est montré que la concentration préférentielle de suspensions de particules inertielles dans de tels écoulements ressemblant à la turbulence découle de la nature dissipative de leurs dynamiques. Nous établissons une caractérisation quantitative de ce phénomène (utilisant la corrélation et la dimension de Kaplan-Yorke) qui permet de le relier à l’accumulation de particules dans des régions de l’écoulement filamenteuses fortement déformées produisant des grappes de dimension fractale faiblement supérieure à 1. À plus grande échelle, les particules subissent une ségrégation de type turbophorétique dans la direction non-homogéne de l'écoulement. En effet, nos résultats indiquent que la distribution des particules est fortement liée aux structures moyennes de l’écoulement de type turbulent. En raison de la turbophorèse, les profils de densité moyenne atteignent leur maximum dans les régions où la diffusivité turbulente est la plus faible. L'inhomogénéité à grande échelle de la distribution des particules est interprétée dans le cadre d'un modèle dérivé dans la limite d'inertie des particules, petite mais finie. Les caractéristiques qualitatives de différents observables (telles que L'écart quadratique moyen de la distribution des particules par rapport à la distribution uniforme) sont, dans une large mesure, indépendantes de l'élasticité du l’écoulement. Quand celle-ci est augmentée, on constate cependant que cette dernière diminue légèrement le degré global moyen de mélange turbophorétiqueLaboratory experiments show that, even in very dilute solutions, the interaction of polymers with fluid flows can dramatically change the properties of turbulent flows or, if the flow is laminar, can trigger a new sort of irregular motion named “elastic turbulence”. Flows in such a dynamical regime are promising for enhancing mixing efficiency in microfluidic applications, which often involve the presence of suspended finite-size impurities, like small and heavy solid particles. The understanding of particle dispersion in high-Reynolds number flows of Newtonian, as well as non-Newtonian, fluids were addressed by previous investigations, and it is a subject of interest both at a fundamental level and for applications, e.g., environmental or industrial ones. However, the dynamics of particles in elastic turbulent flows are still quite unexplored.The present study aims at investigating the aggregation properties of pointlike material particles (heavier than the carrying fluid) in viscoelastic fluids in elastic turbulence conditions (i.e. in the limit of vanishing fluid inertia and large elasticity). We carry out extensive direct numerical simulations of the periodic Kolmogorov mean shear flow of two-dimensional dilute polymer solutions described by the Oldroyd-B model. Both the small- and large-scale features of the resulting inhomogeneous particle distribution are examined, focusing on their connection with the underlying flow structure. Our analysis reveals that particles are preferentially clustered in regions of instantaneously maximally stretched polymers. The intensity of such a phenomenon depends on the interplay, parametrized by the Stokes number, between the particle inertia and the typical time scale associated with the elastic turbulence flow, and is the largest for intermediate values of particle inertia.In particular, it is shown that the preferential concentration of inertial particle suspensions in such turbulent-like flows follow from the dissipative nature of their dynamics. We provide a quantitative characterization of this phenomenon (using correlation and Kaplan-Yorke dimension) that allows to relate it to the accumulation of particles in filamentary highly strained flow regions producing clusters of fractal dimension slightly above 1.At larger scales, particles are found to undergo turbophoretic-like segregation along the non-homogeneity direction of the flow. Indeed, our results indicate that the particle distribution is strongly related to the mean turbulent-like structures of the flow. As an effect of turbophoresis, average density profiles peak in the regions of lowest turbulent eddy diffusivity. The large-scale inhomogeneity of the particle distribution is interpreted in the framework of a model derived in the limit of small, but finite, particle inertia. The qualitative characteristics of different observables (such as root-mean-square deviation of the particle distribution, relative to the uniform one) are, to a good extent, independent of the flow elasticity.

Full textAbstract:
Let n be a positive integer. A Latin square of order n is an n×n array L such that each element of some n-set occurs in each row and in each column of L exactly once. It is well-known that one may construct a 4-class association scheme on the positions of a Latin square, where the relations are the identity, being in the same row, being in the same column, having the same entry, and everything else. We describe the subconstituent (Terwilliger) algebras of such an association scheme. One also may construct several strongly regular graphs on the positions of a Latin square, where adjacency corresponds to any subset of the nonidentity relations described above. We describe the local spectrum and subconstituent algebras of such strongly regular graphs. Finally, we study various notions of isomorphism for subconstituent algebras using Latin squares as examples.

Scherlis, Gerardo. "Presidents and parties in Latin America: the exceptionality of peronism in the Latin American context." Politai, 2013. http://repositorio.pucp.edu.pe/index/handle/123456789/91944.
Full textAbstract:
Political parties have ceased fulfilling substantial representative functions. Their legitimacy lies now on their role as governmental agencies. This led to an increasing interpenetration between parties and the states, and to the empowerment of those leaders that occupy executive offices. In the Latin American context these features are particularly intense in the case of ruling parties in countries where traditional parties collapsed or suffered significant brand dilution. In these cases the president controls the ruling party, while the «really existent» party organization is built up on the basis of networks recruited by the elected leader to run the government. The central argument of this article is that Peronism is the sole political force which has managed to adapt successfully to the conditions of electoral competition in contemporary Argentina. The president´s autonomy in terms of public policies´ in relation to a political machine sustained on the basis of the control of sub-national states makes it possible to disentangle the legitimacy of the party from that of its current national leadership. This scheme provides Peronism with a successful self-preservation mechanism, which is exceptional in the Latin American context.Los partidos políticos han dejado de cumplir funciones representativas significativas para legitimarse a partir de su rol como agencias de gobierno. Esto ha implicado la creciente inter- penetración entre partidos y estados, así como la concentración de recursos en los líderes que ocupan cargos ejecutivos. En el contexto latinoamericano, estas características alcanzan mayor intensidad en los partidos de gobierno de países en los que se ha producido el colapso o la dilu- ción del valor de la etiqueta de los partidos tradicionales. En estos casos, el presidente controla al partido de gobierno, mientras la estructura partidaria realmente existente se constituye sobre la base de las redes reclutadas por el líder electo para el ejercicio del gobierno.El argumento central del artículo consiste en que el peronismo es la única fuerza política que ha logrado adaptarse exitosamente a las condiciones de la competencia electoral en la Argentina contemporánea. La autonomía del presidente en términos de orientación de políticas públicas frente a una máquina partidaria sostenida sobre la base del control de los estados subnacionales hace posible escindir la legitimidad del partido respecto a la de su coyuntural liderazgo. Esto provee al peronismo de un exitoso mecanismo de preservación, excepcional en el contexto latinoamericano.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives. The aims of this survey were (1) to assess the quality of asthma treatment and control in Latin America, (2) to determine how closely asthma management guidelines are being followed, and (3) to assess perception, knowledge and attitudes related to asthma in Latin America. Methods. We surveyed a household sample of 2 184 adults or parents of children with asthma in 2003 in 11 countries in Latin America. Respondents were asked about healthcare utilization, symptom severity, activity limitations and medication use. Results. Daytime asthma symptoms were reported by 56% of the respondents, and 51 % reported being awakened by their asthma at night. More than half of those surveyed had been hospitalized, attended a hospital emergency service or made unscheduled emergency visits to other healthcare facilities for asthma during the previous year. Patient perception of asthma control did not match symptom severity, even in patients with severe persistent asthma, 44.7% of whom regarded their disease as being well or completely controlled. Only 2.4% (2.3% adults and 2.6% children) met all criteria for asthma control. Although 37% reported treatment with prescription medications, only 6% were using inhaled corticosteroids. Most adults (79%) and children (68%) in this survey reported that asthma symptoms limited their activities. Absence from school and work was reported by 58% of the children and 31% of adults, respectively. Conclusions. Asthma control in Latin America falls short of goals in international guidelines, and in many aspects asthma care and control in Latin America suffer from the same shortcomings as in other areas of the world.Revisión por pares

Full textAbstract:
Laminopathies are a collection of over ten distinct and overlapping disease phenotypes resulting from over 340 known mutations in the LMNA gene. This gene encodes the alternatively spliced nuclear intermediate filament proteins, lamins A and C, that localize to the nuclear envelope and the nucleoplasm. These proteins are part of the nuclear lamina which is a complex meshwork of over 80 proteins underlying the inner nuclear membrane. Lamins have proposed roles in nuclear structural support and in multiple cell processes that include gene regulation, chromatin organization, and protein localization/scaffolding. Previous research has shown that in vitro expression of a laminopathic mutant lamin C resulted in nuclear aggregation of lamin C and subsequently sequestration of a co-expressed post-translational modification protein, sumo1. Sumoylation is the attachment of the s&barbelow;mall u&barbelow;biquitin-like modifier 1&barbelow; (sumo1) to a target lysine(s) on substrate proteins which serves to regulate various protein characteristics such as transcriptional activity, localization, protein interaction, and stability.
In this thesis, I investigated the sumolyation of lamin NC and the effect of laminopathic mutant lamin NC on sumoylation and sumo1 localization. It was demonstrated that although not modified by sumo1, mutant lamin NC elicits a mutation-dependent alteration of sumo1 localization in vitro in cultured mouse myoblasts overexpressing lamin NC and primary mouse myoblasts expressing endogenous mutant lamins, as well as in vivo in affected muscle tissue from a laminopathy knock-in mouse model. Furthermore, in cultured myoblasts, this correlated with a mutation-dependent significant increase in the steady-state level of protein sumoylation by sumo1. Taken together, these results suggest that the alteration of sumo1 localization and sumoylation may be contributing factors in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of laminopathies.

Full textAbstract:
This study is motivated by the search for new practices to enhance the teaching of ab initio Latin in UK universities. It arises out of a perception that traditional methods leave some students failing to achieve course aims, their own study goals, and, in the longer term, struggling to read Latin texts with understanding and engagement. At the outset of this research, there was little recent information on Latin pedagogy in UK universities or on student opinions on provision. Some scholarship expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of Latin reading skills attained, but little work had been done on defining the nature of desirable skills or in exploring how they might be attained or investigated. This study instigates progress in all these areas. To advance understanding of how Latin learning takes place and to investigate the potential benefits of existing conceptual and pedagogical frameworks, this study draws on modern language learning theories and teaching practices and explores the application of Vygotskian sociocultural theory to learning events taking place under a communicative teaching approach. Research methods were selected pragmatically, with quantitative methods deployed to obtain a comprehensive snapshot of current practice in UK universities, while the more complex areas of learning events and perceived benefits were investigated through a combination of participant observation, interviews and innovative reading and drawing exercises. The findings confirm that traditional ab initio Latin teaching approaches are not well-aligned with learners’ goals, establish the value of taking a broader approach to pedagogy and provide new ways of defining and investigating Latin reading skills. This research has the potential to enhance Latin pedagogy in UK universities and other institutions. It makes a seminal contribution to applying language learning theories to Latin and suggests innovative methods for aligning students’ needs and expectations with their learning experience.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide, women face gender-based violence daily. Gender-based violence constitutes a growing problem in societies worldwide, and one in three women globally has experienced some sort of intimate partner violence, which is the most common form of gender-based violence. Femicides are the worst form of gender-based violence with a fatal outcome, and an issue of human rights, developmental issue, health issue, and societal issue. Latin America is the regions with one of the highest femicide rates in the world, and that is one reason for why the regions was chosen. There is a wide range of research done on the subject of femicides, however there is a scarcity on the subject of Latin American government responses and legislations, and how these impact the femicide rates in the region. This thesis will examine how government responses affect femicide rates in five selected countries; Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. The study will be a qualitative comparative multi-case desk study analyzed through an abductive approach. The theory applied will be the social inclusion and exclusion theory to understand if policies are inclusive or exclusive, and if the nature of the legislations have an impact on the femicide rates. The main underlying causes of femicides are impunity, lack of political will, funding, and the machismo culture. The analysis suggests that the current femicide legislations are not of appropriate nature to curb femicides as they do not tackle the underlying causes of it.
