description: In this brief study it cannot be hoped to do more than touch the real principles underlying the attitude of the United States government in deciding the question of the recognition of revolutionary and coup d'etat governments. Only an exhaustive examination of all available documentary evidence would reveal the true causes in many cases. Particularly is this true in such controversial instances as the case of Mexico in 1912-16 and Panama in 1903. United States Foreign Relations has been used almost entirely for the facts in the cases cited, although I am aware that many of the true facts are never revealed in the official correspondence.There are some instances involving American recognition which have not been mentioned in this study. Most of these cases have been given a cursory glance at least, in order to make certain that no outstanding additional principle escaped notice. The list of cases involving the question of recognition may be incomplete. It does, however, include every instance involving a decision in regard to United States recognition encountered in the perusal of material for this study.

Treaty ratification procedure
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Vernon L.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The procedure by which treaties become "the supreme law of the land" is extremely detailed and somewhat complicated. The outline steps involved in treaty ratification are familiar to all students of American government. To declare that an international contract is negotiated under the supervision of the State Department, that it is forwarded then to the President to be transmitted to the Senate where it is referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, that the agreement is reported back with recommendations and accepted by the Senate, that the compact is then returned to the President for ratification, and that the treaty is proclaimed by the Executive after exchange of ratification is mere recitation. Such a synopsis of procedure leaves unanswered many incidental and intricate questions that might upon occasion assume first-rate importance. In the following pages some of the heretofore unpublished detailed steps in treaty ratification will be reviewed, based upon the result of numerous and exhaustive interviews with officials in the State Department, the Executive Mansion, and the Senate.

The Glass Industry of the United States

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Glass, from its discovery in the remote dawn of the handicrafts, a crude, unlovely thing, has come down through generations to wax in beauty and in usefulness - in service to mankind? From some chance discovery, many countries of the world now have glass industries serving as handmaiden of the arts and minister to every science. Stained glass has ever been a medium through which artistic inspiration has found expression, through the ages. With lens, mirror, and prism we are able to have telescopes and spectroscopes to pry into the secrets of the stellar systems.High-vacuum tubes of glass have made possible three of the most marvelous of all achievements of modern times - wireless telegraphy, wireless telephony, and the Roentgen ray. The camera lens has enabled man to record the actual appearance of things which many might otherwise never be able to see, and the lenses of the moving picture camera help to give enjoyment to millions. Glass has lengthened and preserved human life by the use of the microscope in medical and chemical science. After centuries of toil, of failure, and slow-won success, the modern glass plant is able to produce plate and window glass which enables the present generation to enjoy the comfort of homes, offices, and factories flooded with light and yet airy.The constantly increasing use of glass has made it absolutely indispensable in our domestic, scientific and industrial lives. Destroy all glass, forget the methods of manufacture and by that action the jugular vein of science will be severed, great industries will be crippled, and homes will be transformed into dark, poorly lighted, unsanitary shelters reminiscent of the middle ages.In value the products of the glass industry of the United States have totaled approximately $300,000,000 annually for the last four years. Because of the importance of the industry to the economic life of this country, my thought is to present in the following pages a study of certain facts and data to permit an analysis of the growth of this industry; to develop the importance of the different branches of the industry; to present the problem of imports and exports; to review present conditions, and the factors that will influence the future.

An Analysis of the Livestock Marketing Problems of the Southern Appalachian Region
Creators: name: Burmeister, Charles A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The problem of marketing and distributing the products of the farm have been given much attention in recent years. Various laws have been enacted having for their ultimate object the facilitation of the movement of farm products into consumptive channels and the bringing to the producer of a greater portion of the consumer's dollar. Numerous investigations have been made by various commissions and government and quasi-government organizations. Research studies have been carried on by the nation's economists and marketing specialists. Books and articles by the score have been written on the subject and much time, energy and money have been expended to educate both producers and consumers as to how greater efficiency and greater economies can be effected.The question arises, why this great interest in the marketing of farm products, especially in recent years? The answer lies in the fact that economic conditions have changed. Standards of living have advanced. The public demands and receives new services. Each new invention tends to create further specialization in industry and makes marketing a more complicated problem. In the early colonial and pioneer days the family circle comprised both producer and consumer, and consequently there were neither marketing nor marketing problems. Specialization in production resulted in surpluses which had to be disposed of outside of the family circle. Then marketing began with all its attending difficulties and problems.It is with the object of studying the marketing methods, practices and problems of an old established agricultural region as they relate to the major products of that region, and analyzing than with a view to ascertaining what and where economies and improvements might be effected that this thesis has been prepared. It is based largely on information and data which the author has collected over a period of more than five years in connection with market research studies and investigations he has conducted and supervised while employed in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the former Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture.

description: A duração da diabetes mellitus é um factor de risco no aparecimento de complicações oculares, A prevalência da retinopatia diabética é praticamente nula antes dos 10 anos de idade, independentemente da duração da doença, atingindo 95% após 20-30 anos de evolução. Na idade pediátrica outras manifestações oculares associadas são, também, raramemente detectadas.

Na Consulta de Oftalmologia Pediátrica do Hospital de D. Estefânia avaliámos retrospectivamente 62 crianças com diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo 1, no intervalo de tempo compreendido entre 1 de Janeiro de 1999 e 31 de Junho de 2000, As idades oscilavam entre os 3 e 17 anos (média 1J,8 anos), tendo sido 29 casos do sexo feminino e 33 do sexo masculino, O período de evolução da doença variava entre 6 meses e 16 anos (média de 6,2 anos).

Na população estudada constatámos uma incidência de 6A% de lesões oculares. Verificámos 1 caso (1,6%) de rctinopatia de fundo, numa adolescente de 17 anos de idade e 11 anos de evolução da doença, e 3 casos (4,8%) de catarata bilateral.

Na diabetes juvenil a probabilidade de ocorrência de lesões oculares precoces é baixa. Exceptuando a catarata que pode ocorrer com alguma precocidade, a retinopatia clínica é raramente demonstrável antes do início da puberdade.

description: Recently, electrically conducting heterointerfaces between dissimilar band-insulators (such as lanthanum aluminate and strontium titanate) have attracted considerable research interest. Charge transport has been thoroughly explored and fundamental aspects of conduction firmly established. Perhaps surprisingly, similar insights into conceptually much simpler conducting homointerfaces, such as the domain walls that separate regions of different orientations of electrical polarisation within the same ferroelectric band-insulator, are not nearly so well-developed. Addressing this disparity, we herein report magnetoresistance in approximately conical 180o charged domain walls, which occur in partially switched ferroelectric thin film single crystal lithium niobate. This system is ideal for such measurements: firstly, the conductivity difference between domains and domain walls is extremely and unusually large (a factor of at least 1013) and hence currents driven through the thin film, between planar top and bottom electrodes, are overwhelmingly channelled along the walls; secondly, when electrical contact is made to the top and bottom of the domain walls and a magnetic field is applied along their cone axes (perpendicular to the thin film surface), then the test geometry mirrors that of a Corbino disc, which is a textbook arrangement for geometric magnetoresistance measurement. Our data imply carriers at the domain walls with extremely high room temperature Hall mobilities of up to ~ 3,700cm2V-1s-1. This is an unparalleled value for oxide interfaces (and for bulk oxides too) and is most comparable to mobilities in other systems typically seen at cryogenic, rather than at room, temperature.

Towards the Final Spectrum Analysis of PROSPECT-I

description: The Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum (PROSPECT) experiment measures the spectrum of antineutrinos from the High Flux Isotope Reactor and searches for potential short-baseline oscillations. The analyses performed to produce the last published results from the current dataset (PROSPECT-I) excluded initially unusable data obtained from some detector segments containing non-operating PMTs. Recent efforts from the collaboration have resulted in a more sophisticated analysis that includes the Single Ended Event Reconstruction (SEER) of the previously unused segments, and the careful data splitting (DS) of the different time periods to maximize the available statistics.In this poster we will focus on the spectrum analysis of PROSPECT-I using the updated dataset. In particular, the application of the Wiener-SVD unfolding technique to produce the final PROSPECT-I antineutrino energy spectrum will be reviewed emphasizing its effect over the multi-period data splitting. We will also detail a pathway to compare the updated positron energy spectrum with PROSPECT's previous results and how can be used to test the gaussian-bump extended Huber-Mueller model. This work was performed under the auspices of the US DOE Office of High Energy Physics by LLNL under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344, the Heising-Simons Foundation, CFREF and NSERC of Canada, and internal investments at all institutions.

description: KLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel >>Titel<<. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Eine anonyme testlesende Person war beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Das Spielen gewalttätiger Videospiele kann zu mehr aggressivem Verhalten führen. Das legen viele Studien nahe. Unklar ist, ob dieser Zusammenhang bei älteren oder jüngeren Menschen unterschiedlich stark ausfällt. Es ist denkbar, dass Menschen in einem bestimmten Alter empfänglicher für Gewalt und Aggressionen sind. Zudem haben sich Videospiele sowie die Dar-stellung von Gewalt in Medien im Laufe der letzten Jahre verändert. Deshalb könnte auch das Alter der Studie einen Einfluss haben. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1) Erhöht das Spielen gewalttätiger Videospiele aggressives Verhalten? 2) Sind Spielende im Jugendalter besonders anfällig für diesen Einfluss? 3) Spielt das Alter der Studie eine Rolle? Das Spielen gewalttätiger Videospiele hängt mit mehr aggressivem Verhalten zusammen. Im Jugendalter ist dieser Zusammenhang besonders hoch. In neueren Studien ist der Zusammenhang kleiner als in älteren.

description: A parotidite bacteriana neonatal é uma patologia pouco frequente no recém-nascido e também pouco referida na literatura.Iniciaimeme descrita em 1878, foram relatados até ao momento cerca clc 100 casos.

Objectivo: Análise casuística de parotidite bacteriana neonatal no Departamento de Pediatria do Hospital Fernando Fonseca.

Material e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo dos 4 casos de parotidite bacteriana neonatal internados de 1 de Março de 1997 a 28 de Fevereiro de 1999.

Resultados: Verificou-se uma incidência de 1/2365 nados vivos no Hospital Fernando Fonseca no período acima referido.A doença manifestou-se entre o 10" e o 20 " dia de vida» aparecendo uma tumefacção na região parotídea (acompanhada dc febre em 3 casos); verificou-se boa resposta clínica e laboratorial à antibioterapia endovenosa, sem necessidade de drenagem cirúrgica e sem ocorrência de recidivas.Os exames culturais revelaram Escherichw coli em 2 casos (isolamento no pus recolhido do orifício do canal de Sténon) e Streptococciis do grupo B num caso (isolamento em íiemocultura).Três dos recém-nascidos eram do sexo feminino e apenas um era prematuro.

Conclusões: A incidência da parotidite bacteriana no Hospital Fernando Fonseca está de acordo com a referida na literatura.O diagnóstico desta situação é claramente clínico, podendo ser confirmado através de estudo ecográfico.Os agentes envolvidos na nossa casuística não são no entanto os descritos na literatura, pelo que se discute a escolha de terapêutica empírica iniciaU Liem como a duração total da antibioterapia.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Inszenierung des Sterbens und der Rolle von Heiligenerscheinungen im Engelthaler Schwesternbuch. Darin wird dargelegt, welche Aufgabe die Heiligen, vor allem der christliche Gott in all seinen Erscheinungsformen, im Werk einnehmen. Zunächst wird einleitend über deutschsprachige Frauenmystik im Allgemeinen geschrieben. Ferner wird das Schwesternbuch selbst, seine Sonderstellung gegenüber den anderen, erhaltenen Nonnenviten und seine Überlieferungsgeschichte behandelt. In einem weiteren Schritt wird kurz über die Dominikanerinnen und ihre Stellung in der Literaturproduktion des Mittelalters gesprochen und insbesondere Christine EBNER als Verfasserin des Werkes diskutiert. Der Hauptteil der Arbeit befasst sich mit einer textkritischen Analyse hinsichtlich der Inszenierung des Sterbens, der Rolle, der dort vorkommenden Heiligenerscheinungen und anderen Gnadenerlebnissen, die rund um das Ableben der Schwestern geschehen. Dabei wird aufgezeigt, dass der christliche Gott nicht immer als der gütige und gnadenbringende Gott erscheint, als der er zu Beginn imaginiert wird.

description: Resultados de estudos longitudinais sugerem que em longo prazo, a obesidade durante a infanda está associada com um aumento do risco de obesidade em adulto, e também um aumento da morbilidade c mortalidade nos adultos. Devido aos reconhecidos problemas de saúde associados à obesidade, seria fundamental prevenir a obesidade na vida adulta através da diminuição da prevalência deste estado durante a infância e juventude.

Deste modo o objectivo deste estudo foi o de descrever a prevalência do excesso de peso e obesidade em crianças e adolescentes (10-15 anos) da área do grande - Porto» calculados pelo índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), com valores critério estabelecidos internacionalmente (Cole et al. 2000) e compará-los com o percentil 85° e 95° (P85 c P95) do TMC para esta população. A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 819 indivíduos caucasianos de ambos os sexos (382 rapazes e437 raparigas) com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 15 anos.

As medidas antropométricas (peso, altura e pregas de adiposidade subcutânea) foram determinadas de acordo com técnicas padrão, O IMC foi calculado através dos valores do peso e altura determinados com uma balança digital [Peso (kg)/Altura2 (m)]. Os valores de ponto de corte internacionais definidos por Cole e col. (2000), determinaram as crianças com excesso de peso e obesidade. Os resultados deste estudo revelaram que os rapazes apresentam valores superiores de excesso de peso (22.5%) e de obesidade (8,4%) em relação às raparigas (18,5% e 5,3%, respectivamente). Quando comparada a mesma amostra usando o P85 e P95 do IMC» verificámos uma percentagem semelhante, quer para rapazes como raparigas, de excesso de peso (9.9% e 10.3%) e obesos {4.2% e 4.3%). Contudo observámos mais crianças e jovens com excesso de peso e obesidade quando usámos os pontos de corte propostos internacionalmente.

Os valores do nosso estudo relativos à associação entre os indicadores de obesidade utilizados e a percentagem de massa gorda e soma das pregas subescapular tricipital são superiores no IMC (10) r=0.69) relativamente ao obtido para o P85 e P95 (r=0.55).Em conclusão podemos verificar que existe um melhor ajustamento  dos  pontos  de  corte  do  IMC  propostos internacionalmente no que concerne à avaliação do excesso de peso e obesidade em crianças e jovens na nossa população quando comparado com o P85 e P95 da mesma amostra.

Der erste Teil fokussiert auf die Zielgruppe jener Flüchtlinge, die am AMS mit dem Status ‚subsidiär schutzberechtigt‘ oder ‚Konventionsflüchtling‘ gemeldet sind. In Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Institutionen, wie etwa Beratungs- und Betreuungseinrichtungen (BBE), verschiedenen Bietergemeinschaften oder Wiener Volkshochschulen, vergibt das AMS an diese Personen freie Kursplätze. In diesen Kursen sollen sich Flüchtlinge auf die sprachliche Realität vorbereiten und dementsprechend die österreichische Variante der deutschen Sprache lernen. Darauf werden sie in den o.a. Deutschkursen, die auch die österreichische Varietät vermitteln, bestens vorbereitet. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde eine empirische Studie dargestellt, im Zuge derer DeutschtrainerInnen an verschiedenen Instituten, die mit dem AMS zusammenarbeiten, mittels Fragebogen befragt wurden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung verdeutlichen, dass die österreichische Varietät an diesen Instituten vermittelt wird.

description: Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit wurde die Häufigkeit des Vorkommens bestimmter Austriazismen und Deutschlandismen im „Austrian Media Corpus“ (AMC) bestimmt und daraus Rückschlüsse auf mögliche Veränderungen bei der Verwendung von Deutsch in Österreich gezogen. Der AMC ist eine Datenbank, die Artikel aller österreichischen Tageszeitungen, sowie Wochenzeitungen und Magazinen ab Anfang der 1990er Jahre beinhaltet, mit rund 10 Milliarden Wörtern in Form von über 40 Millionen Volltexten. Die insgesamt 67 Ausdrücke, deren Häufigkeit bestimmt wurden, stammen aus einem bereits bestehenden Fragebogen der im Zuge des FWF-Projekts „Österreichisches Deutsch als Unterrichts- und Bildungssprache“ erstellt wurde. Er diente zur Erhebung der Sprachverwendung von SchülerInnen und Lehrkräften. Für jeden dieser Ausdrücke wurde analysiert, mit welchen Häufigkeiten er im Lauf der Jahre in österreichischen Pressetexten verwendet wurde, zusätzlich wurde auch die Verteilung der Häufigkeiten der Verwendung in den verschiedenen Regionen Österreichs erhoben. Dabei wurden jeweils die in Österreich benutzten Ausdrücke den deutschländischen gegenübergestellt. Im Allgemeinen zeigen die im AMC erhobenen Daten, dass sich der Sprachwandel in den hier vorhandenen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften in Grenzen hält. Nur bei einigen wenigen Wortpaaren wurde der österreichische Ausdruck vom Deutschlandismus als bevorzugtes Wort abgelöst. Der Vergleich mit dem FWF-Projekt zeigt, dass sich der Sprachwandel zum häufigeren Gebrauch deutschländischer Wörter sowohl in den Printmedien als auch in der Sprache der SchülerInnen und LehrerInnen großteils an den gleichen Ausdrücken abbildet, die signifikante Zunahme von deutschländischen Ausdrücken in der Sprache von Jugendlichen aber nicht mit den Beobachtungen in den österreichischen Printmedien korreliert.

description: The problem of marketing and distributing the products of the farm have been given much attention in recent years. Various laws have been enacted having for their ultimate object the facilitation of the movement of farm products into consumptive channels and the bringing to the producer of a greater portion of the consumer's dollar. Numerous investigations have been made by various commissions and government and quasi-government organizations. Research studies have been carried on by the nation's economists and marketing specialists. Books and articles by the score have been written on the subject and much time, energy and money have been expended to educate both producers and consumers as to how greater efficiency and greater economies can be effected.The question arises, why this great interest in the marketing of farm products, especially in recent years? The answer lies in the fact that economic conditions have changed. Standards of living have advanced. The public demands and receives new services. Each new invention tends to create further specialization in industry and makes marketing a more complicated problem. In the early colonial and pioneer days the family circle comprised both producer and consumer, and consequently there were neither marketing nor marketing problems. Specialization in production resulted in surpluses which had to be disposed of outside of the family circle. Then marketing began with all its attending difficulties and problems.It is with the object of studying the marketing methods, practices and problems of an old established agricultural region as they relate to the major products of that region, and analyzing than with a view to ascertaining what and where economies and improvements might be effected that this thesis has been prepared. It is based largely on information and data which the author has collected over a period of more than five years in connection with market research studies and investigations he has conducted and supervised while employed in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the former Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture.

description: The completion of the work of the Constitutional Convention, September 17, 1787, was by no means the end of the efforts of its members. Its presentation to Congress and its subsequent transmission to the state legislatures for ratification, was but the beginning of a bitter struggle in most of the states. The state of Maryland, although conservative in acting upon independence had ably supported the Union and answered every call. Its influence over the other states was undeniable. Consequently, its action upon ratification was very important to the anxious adherents of the new plan. But, as two of its delegates to the Convention refused to sign the proposed Constitution, there was strong opposition in the state. The newspapers of the day show that this struggle as J. T. Scharf says in his History of Maryland, "was carried on with a warmth and violence that threatened to break asunder all social ties and relations." The following pages give some of the conditions and reasons which led the State of Maryland to take its part in making that "more perfect union", which was the great aim of the representatives of the people who composed the Constitutional Convention.

description: O défice da proteína do gene activador da recombinase resulta numa incapacidade dc formação de receptores dc antigénios por deficiente recombinação, o que se traduz por uma ausência quase completa de marcadores T e B nas populações linfocitárias com aumenta relativo de marcadores NK. Clinicamente esta alteração revela-se como uma Imunodeficiência Combinada Severa de particular gravidade. Sem a realização precoce de um transplante medular de um dador compatível a mortalidade é de 100% aos 2 anos de idade.

Descrevemos um caso de um lactente» filho de pais consanguíneos, internado no nosso hospital, aos 6 meses de vida por síndrome hemolítico-urémico na sequência de pneumonia pnetimocócica com derrame. Após terapia intensiva verifica-se recuperação total da função renal mas desnutrição importante. A evolução posterior é caracterizada por infecções recorrentes, escaras cutâneas e agravamento da desnutrição.

Laboratorialmente apresenta leucopénia e linfopénia persistente com valores muito baixos das imunoglobulinas séricas e ausência quase total das populações B. O estudo genético revela a existência de um défice proteico do gene activador da recombinase (RAG) 2.

Foi possível a exclusão da mesma patologia num irmão, nascido posteriormente, por análise precoce do sangue do cordão.Julgamos tratar-se do primeiro caso confirmado desta situação diagnosticada num doente em Portugal.

description: Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de um recém-nascido com rabdomiomas cardíacos que se manifestaram pela detecção à nascença de frustes alterações auscultatórias cardíacas. O diagnóstico definitivo de Esclerose Tuberosa foi feito no período neonatal, com posterior expressão multissístémica da doença. Os autores fazem uma breve revisão teórica desta entidade clínica, no que concerne à sua eliopatogénese, critérios diagnósticos, espectro clínico, laboratorial e imagiológico, e abordagem terapêutica.

Pretende-se com este caso realçar a importância de um exame clínico, nomeadamente cardiovascular, atento a todos os RN, acto simples que pode constar de um primeiro e importante passo no precoce diagnóstico de determinadas patologias.

description: Die deutsche Sprache wurde über Jahrhunderte von unterschiedlichen Sprachentlehnungen beeinflusst. Dank der Globalisierung und der Folgeerscheinung Englisch als Lingua franca bezeichnen zu können, dominieren die englischen Entlehnungen im 21. Jahrhundert. Mithilfe der Massenmedien hat sich der Gebrauch der Anglizismen weltweit verbreitet. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit geht der Frage nach der häufigen Verwendung von Anglizismen nach, vom 17. Jahrhundert und bis in das heutige Leben. Außerdem zeigt sie die Wirkung der Globalisierung auf die deutsche Sprache auf, sowie den Anstieg der Lingua franca. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt jedoch am Gebrauch von Anglizismen in „Der Standard“-Zeitung in der Rubrik Lifestyle. Die Untersuchung umfasst die modernsten und prototypischen Anglizismen, die aus der Print- und Onlineausgaben der oben genannten Tageszeitung, gefunden wurden. Eine Liste der ausgewählten Anglizismen steht auch im Anhang zur Verfügung, relevant für diese Arbeit sind jene aus dem Bereich Lifestyle. Weiterhin wird der Aspekt des positiven und negativen Einflusses der Anglizismen in der deutschen Sprache illustriert und wie notwendig die englischen Entlehnungen in unserem Alltagsleben sind.
description: The German language has been influenced by different loanwords for centuries.
