Full textAbstract:
This work is comprised of two parts: The Inspiration and The Institution.
The Inspiration concerns what originated the work—the conception of the idea. It lies within the realm of those things which are timeless. Therefore, it is what gives character to the building of the place or the institution. The inspiration is the beginning.
The Institution is the formulation of the work--the "building" of the idea. It is a place crafted with the methods of its time. ln this sense, the institution is circumstantial, and therefore representing the end. However, in its completion there is the reflection of its beginning, its inspiration.
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.¹
What inspires this work is the architecture of the ancient communities of the Anasazi. More specifically and fundamentally, the inspiration for this work lies in the phenomenon of geometry and material in these ruins. Further, it is seated in such ideas as concentricity or nestedness and the opening of a wall. These are the ideas which are timeless. This is the beginning and the end.
What formulates the work is a school. As an institution of learning, it already constitutes fertile ground for teaching. Therefore, with architecture as the medium, the building can teach about the play of geometry and the use of material. The function of the school is purely circumstantial, and it has little to do with the inspiration. Still, the geometry and material of the place made are founded in the inspiration. Hence, the architecture will continue to be a place for learning regardless of the functions of its past or future.
The aspiration of the work is the development of a work of architecture as a place which nurtures the position of learning and as an institution which becomes a revelation of its inspiration.Master of Architecture

Marshman, Amy G. "Ancient Puebloan Human Effigy Vessels: An Examination of Iconography and Tradition." VCU Scholars Compass, 2016. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/4174.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation provides an iconographic interpretation of a group of Ancient Puebloan human effigy vessels and fragments from the American Southwest, dating to the Pueblo II period, c. 900 -1150 CE. Initially, this project focuses on Ancient Puebloan human effigy vessels from three specific collections; a single vessel in the collection of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., a human effigy vessel in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and the so-called Putnam Human Effigy Jar from Chaco Canyon at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. This study interprets these three vessels primarily as expressive sculptural forms, as opposed to ritual or utilitarian objects.
Stylistically and formally, these vessels are similar to several other human effigy vessels attributed to the Ancient Puebloan tradition. Two catalogs have been compiled for this study. Catalog A consists of Ancient Puebloan style human effigy. Catalog B presents comparable human effigy vessels created in a variety of ancient Southwestern styles, related to, but considered distinct from the Ancient Puebloan style. Formal and iconographic similarities between human effigy vessels in these cultures and the Ancient Puebloan culture suggest a shared cultural phenomenon, or, at the very least, is evidence of regional cultural relationships. Similar human effigy vessels can also be found outside of the ancient Greater Southwest in Precolumbian cultures. Of particular scholarly interest is the nature of the perceived relationship between the Ancient Puebloan tradition and the cultures of Casas Grandes, West Mexico, and Mesoamerica. The analysis of these three vessels and their associated tradition provides additional insight into this on-going scholarly discussion.

The fine arts have been present throughout my life by different means, they have been a fundamental part of my personal and professional development. I have witnessed the lack of support and indifference of the Mexican people to the culture and arts. So when entering a career in architecture I decided to develop a project to promote culture and the arts from a different perspective that I always showed, now from the architecture perspective.
As I gained knowledge I realized the great architectural heritage that we Mexicans have, how lucky we are, and how little we value and in most cases it is more appreciated by foreigners than by ourselves. I am a proud Mexican and that is why I am interested in rescuing our ancestor��s heritage. That is where the idea for this project flourished.
This is due to two problems, that can be solved by rescueing an architectural monument that has historical value, "the haciendas", elements of economic and social importance in the history of our country. Our case is reflected through the exhacienda San Jose Zavaleta, this property is recovered for reuse and is involved in a space dedicated to culture and the arts, which can be promoted by a private institution, in our case the Universidad de las Americas Puebla, same space lacking the necessary characteristics for this genre.(cont.) This is how you get a project that benefits the Mexican society and its cultural identity, their social reality and its surroundings immediately. This is a project that addresses real problems, making it a viable and original project, which promotes the conservation, restoration and reuse of a building with heritage value that contributes significantly to Mexican society, culture and architecture..

Full textAbstract:
La ciudad histórica de Puebla (México) es un asentamiento desarrollado durante el primer tercio del siglo XVI en una área de 6.9 km2 que se caracteriza por su traza ortogonal además por su arquitectura civil y religiosa representativa de diferentes periodos. En la presente investigación se caracteriza y evalúa su espacio público, ya que a pesar de que es el contenedor de las actividades sociales más importantes que se desarrollan dentro de la ciudad es uno de los más vulnerables por la ausencia y no aplicación de políticas urbanas, arquitectónicas, sociales y patrimoniales que incidan en una rehabilitación integral. Se actúa de diversas maneras a pesar de que estamos hablando de una ciudad considerada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad (UNESCO) intervenciones con vagos planteamientos así como iniciativas poco contundentes que lo transforman en detrimento del mismo, y esto depende directamente de quién gobierna o este a cargo de las administraciones en turno. Este análisis es desde diferentes vertientes con la intensión de proporcionar un panorama de lo que significa espacio público en el ámbito local, para dar testimonio de qué esta pasando con él, difundir la riqueza de los mismos así como su desatención, además pone énfasis todos aquellos que no se encuentran en listas oficiales y que sin embargo existen por lo cual se plantea un tipología que pone en evidencia que no sólo el "zócalo", "los paseos" y "plazuelas o jardines" debe ser considerados como los únicos sino que deben someterse también otros que diversifican el concepto tradicional y que están localizados en la ciudad antigua: espacios residuales, atrios, camellones, puentes, espacios efímeros, entre otros.
El estudio del espacio público planteado como se comenta, se realiza desde diferentes rubros que se consideran básicos indispensables en esta investigación doctoral que nos permiten entender qué es el espacio público abierto en una ciudad mexicana como Puebla a través de: a) su evolución, desarrollo dentro de la trama urbana, b) usos del espacio: actividades religiosas, civiles, turísticas, de trabajo c) arte público: objetos escultóricos dentro del espacio y en la envolvente o expresiones populares, d) mobiliario urbano. Con la intensión de dar testimonio de dichos contenedores, de lo que ocurre en el espacio público contemporáneo pero también el que lo antecede, debido a que se han diversificado con el paso del tiempo a nivel diseño, actividades, y elementos colocados, independientemente de su nombre oficial. Así mismo se hace hincapié en las e) debilidades que contribuyen a visualizar que son necesarios nuevos planteamientos de rehabilitación que tengan como objetivo la calidad de vida urbana y en lo posible minorizar los procesos de gentrificación o aburguesamiento, descentralizar actuaciones de cualquier índole, basados en elementos primordiales con el jardín o la plaza, la calle peatonal y el espacio residual para que se mejoren y multipliquen.
El centro histórico es diverso y complejo por lo cual requiere de especial atención cada uno de los sectores que lo conforman, el espacio público debe ser considerado parte del patrimonio porque nos da una lectura de la ciudad antigua, tiene una carga simbólica e histórica de suma importancia que debe protegerse, cuidarse así como considerarse para incluirlo en proyectos que lo favorezcan, para que no sean modificados con facilidad: traza, áreas verdes, senderos, especies vegetales, mobiliario, que no propicie alteraciones en los usos que se les han otorgado por parte de la población.
El espacio público muestra cómo vive un país una ciudad o un barrio ejemplifica tanto el nivel económico como el social es muestra de la espontaneidad, de la meditación, de las creencias de lo cívico del orgullo individual y colectivo.
"THE PUBLIC SPACE IN THE HISTORICAL TOWN CENTRE OF PUEBLA (MEXICO)".
TEXT:
The historical city of Puebla (Mexico) foundation developed in the first third of Century XVI it underlines its orthogonal laid out with an area of 6.9 km2. In this investigation it is evaluated the public space through the established methodology, since in spite of it is the site for the most important social activities carried out in the city, is one of the most vulnerable for the absence and not application of urban, architectonic, social and patrimonial politics that contribute to an integral influence. The behavior is variable in spite of we are talking about a city taken as Cultural Patrimony of Humanity (UNESCO).
This analysis is from different points of view with the purpose of giving a real idea about what this public space means, in order to give a testimony about what is happening to it, spread its wealth, as well as its lack of attention, besides to let know all of them that are not in the official lists and however they exist, reason for which it is planned typology that include to other that diversify the traditional concept and that are located in the antique city: residual spaces, porticos, bridges, ephemeral spaces, among others.
The study of the public space is carried out from different points that are considered basic, indispensable in this doctoral research that let us know what is the open public space in a Mexican city as Puebla through of: a) its evolution, b) uses of the space, c) public art, d) urban furniture, with the intention of giving a testimony of that containing, of what happens in the contemporary public space but also about the one that precede it.
In the same way is pointed out in the e) weaknesses that contribute to visualize the necessity of expositions of ambitious rehabilitations that minimize the processes of gentrification of adoption bourgeois way of life, decentralize actions of any nature, based on fundamental elements regarding to the garden or to the main square, the pedestrian area and the residual space in order to improve and increase them.
The historical town centre is diverse and complex, for this reason it requires for special attention about every one of the areas that are part of it, the public space must be considered a part of the patrimony because it gives to us a knowledge of the antique city, it has a very important symbolic and historic part that should be protected.

Full textAbstract:
The Pueblo III period marks a critical shift in settlement location of Ancestral Puebloan people within the Mesa Verde region. Community centers during the Pueblo I and Pueblo II periods were built on mesa tops, whereas canyon-rims and alcoves became the preferred settlement location during the Pueblo III period. Beginning in the Pueblo I period, community centers consisted of linear roomblock villages. By the late Pueblo II period great house community centers influenced by the Chaco culture system spanned the Mesa Verde region. The Pueblo III period hallmarks the transition to canyon-rim villages and cliff dwellings. The location of these Pueblo III centers is thought to be related to the need for a defensive position on the landscape, and access to water sources. This shift in settlement locations undoubtedly led to change in the access to resources, such as water, arable farmland, and wild food plants and game. This study aims to evaluate whether the change in community center location impacted the accessibility to arable farmland and water sources immediately available to Ancestral Puebloan people throughout time. Specifically, several variables related to farming potential and hydrologic potential, including soil type, soil moisture, elevation, cropland suitability, distance to water sources, drainage density, and hydrogeologic units were evaluated. Nine community centers within the McElmo drainage area in southwestern Colorado ranging in age from the Pueblo II to Pueblo III periods were included in this study.

Full textAbstract:
Few studies have evaluated the community dynamics of pest ant species in tropical urban environments. Pest ant community dynamics were examined within three Puerto Rican housing developments. Housing developments (one, four, and eight years old), representing different stages of urban succession were sampled to determine which species were present and the relative species abundance. Eight trips were made to Puerto Rico over a one-year period, and more than 1,000 samples were collected during each trip. The ants collected in each sample were counted and identified. A total of 25 different species were identified from the developments, with the major pest species being big-headed, rover, and red imported fire ants (RIFA). Fourteen different species were identified from the one-year-old site. However, RIFA and rover ants were the most abundant, accounting for >75% of ants collected. In the four-year-old site, 20 species were identified. However, three species (RIFA, big-headed, and destructive trailing ants) were dominant, accounting for >75% of ants collected. Sampling data from the eight-year-old site indicated that out of 21 species identified, four species were dominant (RIFA, crazy, and two species of big-headed ants) and accounted for >75% of the ants collected. The dominant species within each site were different, indicating that the pest ant community changed during the stages of succession. However, these dominant species did not specifically impact the distribution of other species within the same site. Spatial analysis indicated that the number of species coexisting within a site increased as the age of the development increased.Master of Science in Life Sciences

Full textAbstract:
In the three decades surrounding the Spanish-American war (1880-1910), three prominent Puerto Rican artists, Francisco Oller (1833-1917), Manuel E. Jordan (1853-1919), and Ramón Frade (1875-1954) created a group of paintings depicting "el jíbaro," the rural Puerto Rican farm worker, in a way that can be appropriately labeled "nationalistic." Using a set of motifs involving clothes, customs, domestic architecture and agricultural practices unique to rural Puerto Rico, they contributed to the imagination of a communal identity for creoles at the turn of the century. ("Creole" here refers to individuals of Spanish heritage, born on the island of Puerto Rico.) This set of shared symbols provided a visual dimension to the aspirational nationalism that had been growing within the creole community since the mid- 1800s. This creollismo mythified the agrarian laborer as a prototypical icon of Puerto Rican identity. By identifying themselves as jíbaros, Puerto Rican creoles used jíbaro self-fashioning as a way to define their community as unique vis a vis the colonial metropolis (first Spain, later the United States). In this thesis, I will examine works by Oller, Jordan and Frade which employ jíbaro motifs to engage this creollismo. They do so by painting the jíbaro himself, his culture and surroundings, the fields in which he worked, and the bohío hut which was his home. Together, these paintings form a body of jíbaro imagery which I will contextualize, taking into account both the historical circumstances of jíbaro life, as well as the ways in which signifiers of jibarismo began to gain resonance amongst creoles who did not strictly belong to the jíbaro class. The resulting study demonstrates the importance of the mythified jíbaro figure to the project of imagining Puerto Rican creole society as a nation, and the extent to which visual culture participated in this creative process.

We are living in a fast track world, where technology increasingly dictates our way of life. With technology progressing faster than ever and infiltrating our jobs and homes, we are forced to adapt to this way of life in order to keep up with out ever-changing world. Cities are experiencing changes as well. Buildings are becoming obsolete while creating great strain on the cities. In the long term, we need to allow our cities to adapt and change with us. Otherwise, their inability to adapt and be flexible to our changing needs will cause them to become ruins.
We are in need for flexible spaces that not only serve us, but also technology yet to come. Cities are in demand for buildings that withstand a metamorphosis. It is our duty to recognize usable buildings and their architectural contribution in order to increase their life span.
Architecture affects us. It affects our moods and lifts our spirit, ultimately contributing to our well-being. Consequently, spatial quality is a very importantfactor. Light and shadows, scale, vertical and horizontal movement, sound control, temperature and color influence the quality of a space. Space is transformed by means of layers, material finishes, and movement sequences to name a few. fter all, is not the act of transforming something, also discovering that which was always there?Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Ancestral Pueblo communities of the central Mesa Verde region (CMVR) became increasingly reliant on agriculture for their subsistence needs during Basketmaker III (BMIII) through Terminal Pueblo III (TPIII) (AD 600–1300) periods. Researchers have been studying the Ancestral Pueblo people for over a century using a variety of methods to understand the relationships between climate, agriculture, population, and settlement patterns. While these methods and research have produced a well-developed cultural history of the region, studies at a smaller scale are still needed to understand the changes in farming behavior and the distribution of individual sites across the CMVR. Soil moisture is the limiting factor for crop growth in the semi-arid region of the Goodman Watershed in the CMVR. Thus, I constructed the soil moisture proxy model (SMPM) that is on a local scale and focuses on variables relevant to soil moisture – soil particle-size, soil depth, slope, and aspect. From the SMPM output, the areas of very high soil moisture are assumed to represent desirable farmland locations. I describe the relationship between very high soil moisture and site locations, then I infer the relevance of that relationship to settlement patterns and how those patterns changed over time (BMIII – TPIII). The results of the model and its application help to clarify how Ancestral Pueblo people changed as local farming communities. The results of this study indicates that farmers shifted away from use of preferred farmland during Terminal Pueblo III, which may have been caused by other cultural factors. The general outcome of this thesis is an improved understanding of human-environmental relationships on the local landscape in the CMVR.

Full textAbstract:
This analysis of faunal remains from eleven archaeological sites in the northern San Juan region, extensively occupied by the Ancestral Pueblo people until they leave the region by AD 1300, explores the effects of resource intensification of small wild and domestic resources leading up to this regional depopulation. By examining multiple lines of evidence, in addition to faunal abundance, causal factors are identified to address changes in abundances through time. In particular, age- and sex-based mortality are examined for lagomorphs (jackrabbits and cottontails) and domesticated turkey, respectively, to test hypotheses generated using the prey and patch choice models. Analyses of these resources follow a systematic paleontology which provides explicit identifications made of five sites from a large study area, Goodman Point Pueblo Unit. These data are integrated with those from large village sites from the encompassing central Mesa Verde region. The results of both analyses help clarify why the Ancestral Pueblo people left southwestern Colorado. During the final twenty-year occupation period, the results of this study support a shift from reliance on turkey husbandry to intense exploitation of locally available garden resources (i.e. cottontails).

Full textAbstract:
This analysis of faunal remains from Goodman Point Pueblo (5MT604), a large village occupied just before the ancestral Puebloans permanently left southwestern Colorado at the end of the thirteenth century, explores the effect of dietary stress during abandonment in the Four Corners region. As archaeologists, we interpret what these former cultures were like and what resources they used through what they left behind. By specifically looking at faunal remains, or remains from food resources, environmental change and dietary stress can be assessed. Identifications of taxa identified at Goodman Point are made explicit via a systematic paleontology. This is followed by site-level taxonomic abundances and spatial analysis. Then, effects of technological innovations, environmental change, and sample quality are examined as alternate explanations of shifts in foraging efficiency, particularly related to animal hunting. Analyzing why and if the availability of faunal resources changes over time helps to clarify why the ancestral Puebloans left southwestern Colorado.

Native American communities are continually impacted by Federal Indian policy. Over one-half of all Native American nations function politically under the provisions of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (IRA). There are claims that many of these Native American communities experience intra-tribal conflict due to the lack of congruence between the tribal governments formed under the IRA and cultural traditions of governance. This claim was investigated via a comparative trend analysis of the Santa Clara Pueblo, operating politically under the IRA provisions, and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, operating under a constitutional form of governance outside of IRA provisions. After an historical analysis, an evaluation of tribal constitutions, and an examination of news media coverage for the period of 1991 – 2000, the project concluded that the legacies of the IRA are not the primary causal agent of intra-tribal conflict.Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to modeling the dynamics of forest community response to environmental gradients and disturbances over a mountain landscape. A gap model (FACET) was parameterized for species of various forest types (Tabonuco, Colorado, Dwarf and Palm), for many terrain conditions and was modified and extended to include species response to excess soil moisture and hurricanes. Landscape cover types were defined by dominance of species of each forest type and canopy height. Parameters of the landscape model (MOSAIC) were calculated from multiple runs of FACET. These runs were determined by combining terrain variables (elevation and soil) and hurricane risk. MOSAIC runs were analyzed for distribution patterns. Geographic Information Systems software was used to process terrain variables, hurricane risk and MOSAIC model output.

Full textAbstract:
This written thesis is a companion to a 30-minute documentary video of the same title. The documentary is a presentation of the historical conflict between the United States Navy and the people of the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. For over 60 years the island was used by the United States Navy as a military training facility. The documentary attempts to present an analysis of the struggle between citizens of the island and the Navy. This written component presents a summarized history of Puerto Rico, Vieques and the conflict with the United States Navy. In addition, the preproduction, production and post-production process of the documentary are discussed. A theoretical analysis of the filmmaker's approach and technique are addressed and analyzed as well. The thesis's goal is to provide a clear understanding of the Vieques conflict to United States audiences who do not a familiarity with the topic. The thesis is presented from the perspective of a person who grew up in Puerto Rico.

Full textAbstract:
The archaeofaunal remains left by the Ancestral Puebloan people of Goodman Point Unit provides a valuable, yet underutilized resource into pit structure function. This thesis explores temporal changes in pit structure use and evaluates if a final feast occurred during a kiva decommissioning. The results from zooarchaeological analyses of a pithouse and two great kivas suggest that changes in pit structures at Goodman Point mimic the regional trend toward specialization until late Pueblo III. Cross-cultural studies on feasts, southwest ethnographies and previous zooarchaeological work established methods for identifying a feast. The analysis of differences in faunal remains from a great kiva and multiple room block middens imply that the remains in the kiva were from a final feast prior to a decommissioning ceremony and were not fill. Spatially and temporally the great kiva appears to be a unique, specialized structure in the cultural development of the Goodman Point community.

Full textAbstract:
The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) transformed the pediatric HIV epidemic. The disease changed significantly over the course of three decades: while early in the epidemic it was almost always fatal, it has become a chronic condition.
This study examined how perinatally-infected youth experience the impact of HIV in their lives. A qualitative study using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was conducted. Twenty in-depth interviews were carried out among 12 women and 8 men aged 18 to 30 years in Puerto Rico. These were conducted in Spanish, audio-recorded, transcribed and translated into English. While narrating their experiences, participants were interpreting what the situation meant to them and how they make sense of it.
Three topics emerged: (1) perception and response to treatment and illness, particularly their lived experiences with ART; (2) disclosure experiences; and (3) family matters. Most participants challenged their therapy, in most cases to force their caregivers to disclose their status. Problems with adherence were attributed to busy schedules or forgetfulness. Participants experienced the disfiguring adverse effects of ART, which they endured for years without being informed that ART was the cause of these. Participants’ experiences with disclosure demonstrated the importance of validating them as individuals capable of managing their health. The paternalistic approach of withholding their diagnosis to spare them suffering resulted in increased anxiety. Participants acknowledged the difficulties of revealing their HIV status to their partners. They referred to family and friends as essential in coping with HIV. However, some encountered discrimination and stigma within their families. Participants who had suffered the loss of their parents found other parental figures such as adoptive parents or other family members. Most participants expressed a desire to have children.
Perinatally HIV-infected youth will require health services for the rest of their lives. The adult health care into which they transition should consider their needs and journey. Services should consider including family members. This study underscores the need for improved access to mental health services. It is also essential to transcend medical treatment and develop a broader perspective of health care. Health care services should include reproductive decision-making counselling services.

Full textAbstract:
La femme occupe une place centrale dans la poésie amoureuse augustéenne ; les trois grands élégiaques — Tibulle, Properce et Ovide — ainsi que leur prédécesseur Catulle ressentent un amour si grand pour la puella qu’il devient le moteur de la création littéraire et, du coup, la jeune femme en incarne la muse. Ainsi, la beauté du corps de la puella, mais aussi celle de son esprit, compose la matière élégiaque et définit dans un même temps la femme idéale selon les poètes de l’amour. Du fait de son statut de poète de l’amour, Ovide reprend le canon élégiaque de la puella lorsqu’il compose son recueil didactique l’Art d’aimer. Ce mémoire étudie dans un premier temps la femme des élégies latines, ses caractéristiques physiques, intellectuelles et émotionnelles de même que sa capacité à s’engager dans le type d’union préconisé par les poètes amoureux. Ces éléments seront repris dans le cadre de l’analyse des personnages féminins des digressions narratives de l’Art d’aimer afin de montrer comment Ovide construit ses héroïnes mythologiques selon un exemplum positif ou négatif de la puella élégiaque.

La tesis defiende la necesaria aportación de las humanidades en procesos de transformación cultural hacia la sostenibilidad y, más en concreto, profundiza en los proyectos que desde el arte se están llevando a la práctica. Nos basamos en la capacidad de la creación artística para potenciar la concienciación ambiental y la transformación social, entre otras funciones, haciendo énfasis en herramientas como la empatía y la colaboración. Para mostrar este nuevo rol de los creadores en la sociedad, nos situaremos en contextos de transición a la sostenibilidad entendida en sentido amplio, así como en el Movimiento de Ciudades y Pueblos en Transición (MCT), surgido en Reino Unido en 2005. Siendo dicho país pionero en MCT, revisaremos una recopilación de casos contenidos en la publicación Playing for time. Making art as if the world mattered (Neal, 2015) y pertenecientes a la red internacional Transition Network, para centrarnos más en concreto en los ejemplos que responden a nuestros criterios de selección. Dado que la mayoría de estudios sobre la transición se centran en casos anglosajones, (Haxeltine y Seyfang 2009; Bailey et al. 2010; Aiken 2012; Neal, 2013), estableceremos un paralelismo con las iniciativas actuales de la Red de Transición en España, destacando el caso de Almócita (Almería). Por otra parte, también se analizarán propuestas artísticas al margen del MCT como Nithraid y Dundee Urban Orchard en Reino Unido y, en España, Biodivers, El Cubo Verde y Aula-R entre otras.
La metodología de investigación se basa en técnicas cualitativas como encuestas y entrevistas, así como en la Investigación Acción Participativa implicándonos en algunos de los proyectos estudiados, así como en la práctica artística personal en los casos de Biodivers y Aula-R. Siguiendo a la experta en arte público Suzanne Lacy, se analizarán estas propuestas en base a la participación, la intención de los creadores, los resultados, la estética, los puntos de tensión y puntos clave, la influencia de la financiación y las funciones que desempeñan. Además comprobaremos como responden estos casos a los principios del transitional art definidos por la autora Lucy Neal (2015).
Como resultado mostraremos la función del arte en el fomento de la cooperación en la comunidad local, en la celebración colectiva, en la construcción de identidad, en la revitalización del territorio, en el aumento de resiliencia, en la conexión de las personas con su entorno y como desencadenante de dinámicas de cambio, entre otras funciones. Pero también se subrayan las dificultades para hacer visible su papel, la necesidad de introducir las preocupaciones de la huella ecológica en la práctica artística y los requisitos de sostenibilidad en el campo cultural, especialmente en España. El texto contribuye así al conocimiento del MCT más allá del contexto anglosajón y a la valoración del arte como importante herramienta para el cambio cultural hacia la sostenibilidad que necesitamos.La tesi defén la necessària aportació de les humanitats en processos de transformació cultural cap a la sostenibilitat i, més en concret, aprofundeix en els projectes que des de l'art s'estan portant a la pràctica.

Per a mostrar aquest nou rol dels creadors en la societat, ens situarem en contextos de transició a la sostenibilitat entesa en sentit ampli, així com en el Moviment de Ciutats i Pobles en Transició (MCT), sorgit en Regne Unit l'any 2005. Sent el dit país pioner en MCT, revisarem una recopilació de casos continguts en la publicació Playing for time.

Atés que la majoria d'estudis sobre la transició se centren en casos anglosaxons (Haxeltine i Seyfang 2009; Bailey t'al. 2010; Aiken 2012; Neal, 2013), establirem un paral¿lelisme amb les iniciatives actuals de la Xarxa de Transició a Espanya, destacant el cas d'Almócita (Almeria). D'altra banda, també s'analitzaran propostes artístiques al marge del MCT com Nithraid i Dundee Urban Orchard en Regne Unit i, a Espanya, Biodivers, El Cubo Verde i Aula-R entre altres. La metodologia d'investigació es basa tant en tècniques qualitatives com enquestes i entrevistes, com en la Investigació Acció Participativa implicant-nos en alguns dels projectes estudiats, així com en la pràctica artística personal en els casos de Biodivers i Aula-R. Seguint l'experta en art públic Suzanne Lacy, s'analitzaran aquestes propostes basant-se en la participació, la intenció dels creadors, els resultats, l'estètica, els punts de tensió i punts clau, la influència del finançament i les funcions que exerceixen. A més comprovarem com responen aquests casos als principis del transitional art, definits per l'autora Lucy Neal (2015). Com a resultat mostrarem la funció de l'art en el foment de la cooperació en la comunitat local, en la celebració col¿lectiva, en la construcció d'identitat, en la revitalització del territori, en l'augment de resiliència, en la connexió de les persones amb el seu entorn i com a desencadenant de dinàmiques de canvi, entre altres funcions. Però també se subratllen les dificultats per a fer visible el seu paper, la necessitat d'introduir les preocupacions de l'empremta ecològica en la pràctica artística i els requisits de sostenibilitat en el camp cultural, especialment a Espanya. El text contribueix així al coneixement del MCT més enllà del context anglosaxó i a la valoració de l'art com a important ferramenta per al canvi cultural cap a la sostenibilitat que necessitem.
This thesis defends the significant contribution of the humanities in processes of cultural transformation towards sustainability and, more specifically, delves into how emerging practices in art are specifically contributing to it. We rely on the ability of artistic creation to enhance environmental awareness and social transformation, among other functions, emphasizing tools such as empathy and collaboration. To show this new role of creators in society, the research is situated in contexts of transition to sustainability understood in a broad sense, as well as in the Transition Town Movement (TTM), which emerged in the United Kingdom in 2005. Being UK a pioneer in TTM, the study will review a collection of Anglo-Saxon cases contained in the publication Playing for time. Making art as if the world mattered (Neal, 2015) and belonging to the Transition Network. It will draw on specific cases that meet our selection criteria. Given the fact that a great part of the international studies are focused on Anglo-saxon case studies, (Haxeltine and Seyfang 2009; Bailey et al., 2010; Aiken 2012; Neal, 2013), the research will develop a comparative study with the current initiatives of the Transition Network in Spain, highlighting the case of Almócita (Almería). On the other hand, artistic proposals will also be analyzed outside the TTM such as Nithraid and Dundee Urban Orchard in the United Kingdom and, in Spain, Biodivers, El Cubo Verde and Aula-R among others. The research methodology is based on qualitative techniques such as surveys and interviews, as well as on Participatory Action Research, involving myself as a researcher in some of the projects studied, as well as in personal artistic practice in the cases of Biodivers and Aula-R. Following the framework developed by the expert in public art Suzanne Lacy in her practice-led PhD (2013), these proposals will be analyzed based on the participation, the intention of the creators, the results, the aesthetics, the points of tension and key points, the influence of funding and the functions they perform. How these cases respond to the principles of transitional art defined by the author Lucy Neal (2015) will also be checked out. As a result the case studies will show how art is expanding its role with positive narratives in the field of sustainability playing a function in promoting cooperation in the local community, in the collective celebration, in the construction of identity, in the revitalization of the territory, in the increase of resilience, in the connection of people with their environment and as a trigger for dynamics of change, among others. But it also underlines the difficulties to make visible its role, the necessity to introduce ecological footprint concerns in the artistic practice and sustainability requirements in the cultural field, specially in Spain. The text thus contributes to the knowledge of the TTM beyond the Anglo-Saxon context and to the appreciation of art as an important tool for cultural change towards sustainability in order to face the biggest challenge of the 21st century: the environmental crisis.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an investigation of sedimentary deposition, soil formation, and pedoturbation in the Animas River Valley to determine the provenience of archaeological deposits in an open field at Aztec Ruins National Monument, NM outside of the Greathouse complex. Four stratigraphic pedounits correlated with active fan deposition have been proposed for the lower terrace in the project area with only one of these units retaining strong potential for buried archaeological deposits from the Anasazi late Pueblo II/Pueblo III period. The distal fan on the lower terrace and the Animas River floodplain appear to show poor potential for archaeological deposits either due to shallow sediment overburden with historic disturbance or alluvial activity during or after occupation. Based on these findings, four other zones of similar fan development have been identified throughout the Animas Valley and are recommended for subsurface testing during future cultural resource investigations.

Full textAbstract:
My interest in the environment has led me to study the effects of space on people, both natural and man-made. This project explores how architects and designers can design spaces conducive to the healing process. The emphasis of this thesis is on my design methodology, with the hope that this project will help other designers in their struggle to create spaces that heal the body, soul and spirit.
To develop this project, I chose a shelter for battered women as the building type. This shelter is theoretically located in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Its main goal is to create an environment in which battered women can recuperate physically, emotionally and spiritually.
In order to accomplish this, I first studied my personal responses to a variety of built, as well as, natural spaces. I used two types of case studies, one looking at spaces and the other looking at the building type. Besides utilizing traditional building analysis, I also used literature to study space, since it allows me to study human’s reaction to space.These helped to shed light on why or why not certain spaces fulfill the building’s purpose. Later, through a series of art workshops with women at a local shelter, I was able to better understand the user. These workshops culminated in a collaborative art installation in which their reality and mine were combined. In addition, I researched other fields that are also trying to understand why we respond to space the way we do. Some of these fields are environmental psychology, sociology, behavioral studies, and art. Their findings led me to design flexible spaces that allow each woman to shape their own space, and spaces that appeal to all six senses.
Following this exploration, I developed a program to meet the user’s requirements. This program described a prototypical facility that embodies ideal conditions. I then explored this program and its spatial requirements through physical models. A series of models interacting with the site gave birth to three design concepts. From these various schemes, a final design was selected and brought to the design development phase.

Small islands developing states (SIDS) sustainability is a United Nations’ aim. Their markets are often influenced by external policies imposed by larger economies. Could an anti-competitive measure affect the food vulnerability of a SIDS?
This research examines the effects of an external non-tariff measure (NTM) on Puerto Rico’s (PR) agribusinesses. It explores the effects of a maritime cabotage regulation (US Jones Act) on the affordability and accessibility of produce and grains. PR imports 100% of their needs of grain and over 85% of fresh produce. PR’s food imports are generally from the US and the trade service is restricted to the use of the US maritime transportation. As a result, the supply chain of these two sectors although different, are limited by the US Act that may impact the cost of food, its availability, firms’ efficiency and other structures of production. Using a mixed convergent design, PR’s agrifood supply chains were explored and analysed in relation to the maritime cabotage regulation.
Oligopolistic structures and collusion between maritime transporters and local agribusinesses importers limit the access to data, but other internal factors also have a role. Fieldwork shows that while the cabotage regulation itself is a constraint, interaction with others NTM and the current political framework between US and PR are relevant. Factors such as lack of efficiency, poor innovation and a self-limitation of the agribusinesses firms were found. The novelty of this research is the use of mixed methods to evaluate the effects of cabotage on the agrifood supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
In large-scale civil structures, a limited number of sensors are placed to monitor the health of civil structures to reduce maintenance, communication and energy costs. In this thesis, the problem of optimal sensor location placement to infer the health of civil structures is explored. First, a comparative study of approaches from the fields of control engineering and civil engineering is conducted . The widely used civil engineering approaches such as effective independence (EI) and modal assurance criterion (MAC) have limitations because of the negligence of modes and damping parameters. On the other hand, control engineering approaches consider the entire system dynamics using impulse response-type sensor measurement data. Such inference can be formulated as an estimation problem, with the dynamics formulated as a second-order differential equation. The comparative study suggests that damping dynamics play significant impact to the selection of best sensor location---the civil engineering approaches that neglect the damping dynamics lead to very different sensor locations from those of the control engineering approaches. In the second part of the thesis, an initial attempt to directly connect the topological graph of the structure (that defines the damping and stiffness matrices) and the second-order dynamics is conducted.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Puerto Rico has produced many important composers who have contributed to the musical culture of the nation during the last 200 years. However, a considerable amount of their music has proven to be difficult to access and may contain numerous errors. This research project intends to contribute to the accessibility of such music and to encourage similar studies of Puerto Rican music. This study focuses on the music of Héctor Campos Parsi (1922-1998), one of the most prominent composers of the 20th century in Puerto Rico. After an overview of the historical background of music on the island and the biography of the composer, four works from his art song repertoire are given for detailed examination. A product of this study is the first corrected edition of his cycles Canciones de Cielo y Agua, Tres Poemas de Corretjer, Los Paréntesis, and the song Majestad Negra. These compositions date from 1947 to 1959, and reflect both the European and nationalistic writing styles of the composer during this time. Data for these corrections have been obtained from the composer's manuscripts, published and unpublished editions, and published recordings. The corrected scores are ready for publication and a compact disc of this repertoire, performed by soprano Melliangee Pérez and the author, has been recorded to bring to life these revisions. Despite the best intentions of the author, the various copyright issues have yet to be resolved. It is hoped that this document will provide the foundation for a resolution and that these important works will be available for public performance and study in the near future.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
Professions and careers related to science and mathematics lack representation of minorities. Within these underrepresented minority populations there is no other group more affected than Latina women and girls. Women in general, are still underrepresented in many areas of our society. While women's roles are changing in today's society, most changes encourage the participation of more White/Anglo women in traditionally male roles. Latina women are still more disadvantaged than White women. There is no doubt that education is significant in increasing the participation of minorities in the fields of science and mathematics, especially for minority girls (Oakes, 1990; Rodriguez, 1993). This study explored the interests, life experiences, characteristics and motivations of Latina girls of Puerto Rican origin who are successful in science and mathematics high school courses. The study identifies factors that can influence the interest of Latina girls of Puerto Rican origin in science and mathematics career choices. This research is significant and relevant to educators and policy makers, especially to science and mathematics educators. The research is primarily descriptive and exploratory. It explores the social characteristics of Latina girls and professional women who have been successful in science and mathematics high school courses. The research offers the reader a visit to the participants' homes with descriptions and the opportunity to explore the thoughts and life experiences of Latina girls, their mothers and young Latina professionals of Puerto Rican origin. This research reveals the common characteristics of successful students found in the Latina girls of Puerto Rican origin who where interviewed. Creating a portrait of Latina girls of Puerto Rican origin who are successful in science and mathematics high school courses in one of the school districts of western Massachusetts. The research findings reveal that teacher relationships, family expectations, mother's support, mother - daughter relationship, cultural pride, talent recognition, the girls' perception of teachers and school and the girls strong desire to change their economic situation contribute to their success in school regardless of their low socio-economic backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
Volunteer tourism has been regarded to provide an authentic and mutually beneficial relationship between volunteer tourists and residents based on volunteering. By exploring volunteer tourists' emotional solidarity with residents, the researcher aims to uncover the social relations between volunteer tourists and residents in practice. This exploratory study was conducted in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica during November 2012 to January 2013. Based on the two months of ethnographic field research, this research suggests that volunteer tourism may not be superior to so-called “mass tourism” in terms of building harmonious relationships between volunteer tourists and resident. In this study, volunteer tourists’ feelings of closeness were merely feelings which boosted the identity of volunteer tourists from “tourists” to “volunteers”. This article contributes to the growing body of literature on volunteer tourism by exploring the volunteer tourism experience from the perspectives of international volunteers.
