description: We observe the breakup dynamics of an elongated cloud of condensed 85Rb atoms placed in an optical waveguide. The number of localized spatial components observed in the breakup is compared with the number of solitons predicted by a plane-wave stability analysis of the nonpolynomial nonlinear Schrödinger equation, an effective one-dimensional approximation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for cigar-shaped condensates. It is shown that the numbers predicted from the fastest growing sidebands are consistent with the experimental data, suggesting that modulational instability is the key underlying physical mechanism driving the breakup.

Henri Bourassa

description: Cette étude se penche sur la portée du nationalisme de Henri Bourassa au Canada anglais. L’analyse des sources confirme que le message de Bourassa rayonna bien au-delà de la province de Québec en raison de la stratégie de diffusion employée par le nationaliste. Il prit ainsi contact avec une multitude de Canadiens anglais sincères qui souhaitaient une plus grande autonomie pour le Canada et de meilleures relations entre les deux « races ». Les discussions de Bourassa avec les Canadiens anglais ne réussirent toutefois pas à entraîner l’association des deux éléments vers un idéal national puisque la Première Guerre mondiale et les conflits linguistiques créèrent un déchirement profond entre Canadiens anglais et Canadiens français. Cette étude offre une meilleure compréhension quant aux répercussions des idées de Bourassa sur le paysage intellectuel cana-dien, en plus de réévaluer la place que prit l’impérialisme au Canada dès le tournant du XXe siècle. This study evaluates the influence of the nationalism of Henri Bourassa in English Canada. An analysis of sources confirms that Bourassa’s message travelled well beyond the province of Quebec thanks to the dissemination strategy used by the nationalist. He connected with a multitude of sincere English-Canadians who wanted greater Canadian autonomy and better relations between the two “races”. However, Bourassa’s discussions with English-Canadians proved insufficient in uniting the two elements towards his national ideal. The First World War and language issues indeed created a deep divide between English and French-Canadians. This study provides a better understanding of the impact of Bourassa’s ideas on the Canadian intellectual landscape and re-evaluates the standing of imperialism in Canada at the turn of the twentieth century.
A knowledge based framework for developing and customizing schedulers
Creators: name: Srinivasan, Venkatesh

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paper describes a general purpose scheduler into which one can add knowledge necessary to solve specific scheduler problems. The approach typifies how software should be developed for specific classes of applications. Using a general scheduler is analogous to the use of an expert system shell to which one adds application specific rules. The authors performed experiments for adding knowledge to three classes of schedulers-job shop schedulers, transportation schedulers and time tabling schedulers. They show how the framework provides flexibility in performing experiments.

description: This work is focused on the identification of the whole body of a stony epigraphic and figure document, belonging to the town of Trapani. Up to know this document, of the XVII century, has been considered preserved only partly, and for what regards the prominent remaining part, that was the figure part, it was known only thanks to an Eighteenth century transcription endowed with a drawing. On the one hand, regarding the figure plaque, it is shown the monumental complex which it belongs to i.e. the Church of Santa Lucia in Trapani, today fallen into disuse, in relation to the historical evolution of the urban area of Trapani; on the other hand, it is highlightened its historical-social and historical-religious importance, since it expresses the devotions of the fishermen and seamen social classes of Trapani, who asked this document as memorial of a very lucky coral fishing. The epigraphic and figure text allows to read the most deep-rooted faith trends into some definite social classes of the society of the Trapani society, from the end of the Medieval Age till now. This document can be considered as an extraordinary nautical chart about the whole coast of Trapani, as it equipped with correct indicationsabout distances and paths, and geomorphologic and toponymic exact indications.

description: Data centres and other infrastructures in the field of information technology suffer from the major issue of ‘server sprawl’, a term used to depict the situation wherein a number of servers consume resources inefficiently, when compared to the business value of outcome obtained from them. Consolidation of servers, rather than dedicating whole servers to individual applications, optimizes the usage of hardware resources, and virtualization achieves this by allowing multiple servers to share a single hardware platform. Server virtualization is facilitated by the usage of hypervisors, among which Xen is widely preferred because of its dual virtualization modes, virtual machine migration support and scalability. This research work involves an analysis of the CPU scheduling algorithms incorporated into Xen, on the basis of the algorithm’s performance in different workload scenarios. In addition to performance evaluation, the results obtained lay emphasis on the importance of compute intensive or I/O intensive domain handling capacity of a hypervisor’s CPU scheduling algorithm in virtualized server environments. Based on this knowledge, the selection of CPU scheduler in a hypervisor can be aligned with the requirements of the hosted applications. A new credit-based VCPU scheduling scheme is proposed, in which the credits remaining for each VCPU after every accounting period plays a significant role in the scheduling decision. The proposed scheduling strategy allows those VCPUs of I/O intensive domains to supersede others, in order to favour the reduction of I/O bound domain response times and the subsequent bottleneck in the CPU run queue. Though a small percentage of context switch overhead is introduced, the results indicate substantial improvement of I/O handling and fairness in re-source allocation between the host and guest domains.

Spatially developing instabilities in non-Boussinesq convection flows
Creators: name: Suslov, Sergey
name: Paolucci, Samuel
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Convection flows are found in many industrial applications. As a result of strong nonlinearity of the governing equations associated with nontrivial fluid properties variations with temperature, multiple flow patterns exist for the same set of parameters such as Reynolds and Grashof numbers and dimensionless temperature difference. In practice, it might be preferable to suppress certain types of flows and to enhance others, i.e. the problem of intelligent control of flow instabilities arises. This study is undertaken to understand transition scenarios between different flow states. One of the aspects of this research is investigation of the response of an unstable flow system to an initially localized disturbance as usually occurs in realistic applications. This leads to convective/absolute instability analysis. Here we describe the approach and the resulting boundaries in parameter space between different types of instabilities arising in non-Boussinesq mixed convection channel flow.

description: Summary Sleep disturbances and insomnia are common in college students, and reduce their quality of life and academic performance. The aim of this meta‐analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of psychological interventions aimed at improving sleep in college students. A meta‐analysis was conducted with 10 randomized controlled trials with passive control conditions (N = 2,408). The overall mean effect size (Hedges’ g) of all sleep‐related outcomes within each trial was moderate to large (g = 0.61; 95% confidence interval: 0.41−0.81; numbers‐needed‐to‐treat = 3). Effect sizes for global measures of sleep disturbances were g = 0.79; 95% confidence interval: 0.52−1.06; and for sleep‐onset latency g = 0.65; 95% confidence interval: 0.36−0.94. The follow‐up analyses revealed an effect size of g = 0.56; 95% confidence interval: 0.45−0.66 for the combined sleep‐related outcomes based on three studies. No significant covariates were identified. These results should be interpreted cautiously due to an overall substantial risk of bias, and in particular with regard to blinding of participants and personnel. Nevertheless, they provide evidence that psychological interventions for improving sleep are efficacious among college students. Further research should explore long‐term effects and potential moderators of treatment efficacy in college students.

description: Mitochondria exist in a dynamic network regulated by the opposing processes of mitochondrial fusion and fission. Regulation of mitochondrial morphology is critical for metabolism, quality control and cell survival, among other cellular processes. Large GTPases are responsible for shaping the mitochondrial network. Mitofusins 1 and 2 and Opa1 regulate outer and inner mitochondrial membrane fusion, respectively. Conversely, Drp1 is recruited to mitochondria to carry out fission. Although many proteins have been implicated in these processes, there are still many unknowns. We sought to identify novel regulators of mitochondrial morphology and conducted a genome-wide RNAi screen to identify candidate genes. We identified Reactive Oxygen species Modulator 1 (ROMO1) as a novel regulator of mitochondrial fusion and cristae integrity. In the absence of ROMO1, the mitochondrial network fragments and cristae are lost. These defects lead to impaired mitochondrial respiration and sensitization to cytochrome c release and downstream apoptosis. ROMO1 is regulated by mitochondrial REDOX at 4 cysteine residues that couple REDOX signaling to mitochondrial morphology. We have characterized ROMO1 as an interactor with the MINOS complex, required for cristae junction maintenance, and the inner mitochondrial membrane fusion GTPase OPA1. Through these interactions ROMO1 couples cristae junction security to mitochondrial fusion.

description: The pictures discovered in Ravenna at Maioli Palace (Ravenna) have been subjected to an analytical survey, both during and after the works of a restoration performed at the Restoration Laboratory. This building, set during the time of the Venetian rule in the town of Romagna (1447-1509), belonged for centuries to the noble Maioli Family, that had come from Faenza. The walls, taken into consideration, show four "pictured levels", i.e. four different times about when the four pictures have been performed. The first one refers to the construction period of the building, the second one is the one studied, the third one can be connected to the Seventeenth century, according to the stylistic details of the Pompeian period. While the forth one is dated back to the end of the Eighteenth century, since the decorative part is typical of that time (with "decorative part" we refer to the "stencil" decorations, i.e. applications of pictures, inks or colours by means of special little masks). The experimental study carried out on two kinds of pictured samples (chosen according to their kind of pigments i.e.: yellow and black) as focused on: the colorimetry, in order to determine the components of the chromaticity; the fluorescence spectrometry to X ray, to characterize the pigments used; the thermal analysis with the goal of finding out the kind of plaster; the video-microscopy to get documentary and cognitive purposes. A systematic analysis of the pictures was justified both by the will of finding the pictorial technique of the painter, and by the wish to be able to date them back to the period of their creation, since at the moment, there is no documentation about these issues.
HLA streaming and real-time extensions.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The High Level Architecture (HLA) is IEEE's 1516 standard [1] which defines a software architecture for the development and execution of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). It also provides a general-purpose network communication mechanism for DIS through its implementation---Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI). However, HLA does not address two critical features: stream (audio/video) and real-time transmission. This thesis focuses on solving these two issues. The first part of this thesis reviews the basic concepts of DIS and its evolving history. Then it illustrates how the HLA supports the requirements of the DIS via its service groups, using a virtual shopping mall application as an example. The second part introduces an HLA-compliant solution for stream transmission and control. An audio playback application is illustrated to show how to transfer stream data, using HLA defined APIs and control transfer schedule, using the operating system interval timer. Then, a presentational audio-video continuous-media retrieval application is illustrated to show how to control stream retrieval In the third part, a real-time extension proposal to HLA and an architecture of real-time RTI is presented. The Internet is moving to Quality of Service (QoS) age, which will provide delay and jitter bounded services. With the IP QoS and real-time operating systems involved, it is shown that HLA can support real-time DIS by taking advantages of these new technologies. After analyzing the limitation of current HLA and RTI, a proposal of real-time extension to HLA and the architecture of real-time RTI is illustrated. In the fourth part, our experiences of building QoS networks and a performance analysis, including end-to-end RSVP for unicast and multicast, end-to-end DiffServ, RSVP over differentiated service network, etc., are presented. We hope that the thesis' contributions would create a discussion in the DIS community on the topic of Real-Time DIS (RT-DIS). With new real-time technologies in operating systems and networks blooming, RT-DIS has the possibility of coming true, while its final realization depends on the effort of the whole DIS community.

description: Emerging subjectivity lives willingly in the border. In a period of
transition and paradigmatic competition, the border stands out as a privileged
form of sociability. The better subjectivity feels in the border, the more it can
exploit the emancipatory potential. Among the key features of frontier life
relevant to support what will be argumented here, it should be underlined: the
very selective and instrumental use of traditions brought in the frontier from
pioneers and emigrants; invention of new forms of sociability; weak hierarchies;
plurality of powers and legal orders; fluidity of social relations; promiscuity
among strangers and natives; hybridism of ethnic heritage and inventions.

La soggettività emergente vive volentieri nella frontiera. In un periodo di
transizione e di competizione paradigmatiche, la frontiera spicca come forma
privilegiata di sociabilità. Quanto meglio si sentirà nella frontiera, tanto più la
soggettività potrà sfruttarne il potenziale emancipatorio. Fra le principali
caratteristiche della vita di frontiera pertinenti alla tesi che sostengo qui, mi
preme sottolineare queste: uso molto selettivo e strumentale delle tradizioni
portate nella frontiera da pionieri ed emigranti; invenzione di nuove forme di
sociabilità; gerarchie deboli; pluralità di poteri e di ordini giuridici; fluidità
delle relazioni sociali; promiscuità fra estranei e intimi; mescolanze di eredità e
invenzioni.

description: This paper presents a line of research aimed at studying in detail the interaction between air conditioning/heating systems and thermo hygrometric conditions inside museums. An experimental test was carried out on the microclimatic conditions inside a building envelope, using as case studies the interiors of the Castle of Chiaramonte in Favara (Agrigento), and the Church of Saint Matthew (Palermo). In this phase of the work the “real” measured values and the recommended “optimal” values were compared for the various museum exhibits displayed. The analysis of the complex dynamic interaction of climate conditions, the need for the museum pieces to be preserved in a situation of maximum stability, the problems regarding thermal comfort in relation to users’ enjoyment of the exhibition space, the construction model of the building envelope – the synergy between all these variables led to establishing the final design project. This consists of an air conditioning system with radiant panels, floor heating, cooling system and primary air, in which the benefits seen from an environmental and energy point of view, are fully explained. The conservation of cultural heritage collections in museums, on the one hand implies that the attentionof the specialists must turn to the prevention of the natural degradation caused through time and on the other to improve the quality of the environment. This means environmental parameters must be checked and monitoring techniques used. Since the connective tissue between the museum and its container is the environment, the building-plant system must be held responsible for the “degradation suffered by the museum itself” or “be largely responsible for its optimal conservation with the passing of time”.

Subjects: pipe organs; conservation; analyses in Sicily

description: The present case study aimed at understanding musical heritage, examines the problematics involved in the restoration and conservation of pipe organs. Attention is particularly focused on the great number of organs in Sicily and the ensuing problems due to a lack of clear legislation able to protect their authenticity and artistic value. The success of organ activity also in the south of Italy is made evident in the evolution of its form and the progress made in its sound system. However,prompt historical and artistic research is required to assess the size of this heritage and programme its proper recovery.Besides the methodological difficulties involving direct intervention on the organs, there are also problems related to the writing up of the documentation concerning the restoration work carried out. This is due to the fact that there is no uniformity in the compilation of these documents, preventing the issue of correct information regarding the technical characteristics and artistic features of these instruments.

description: Phryne, probably the most renowned Greek courtesan (especially because of the famous trial where she was defended by the public speaker Hyperides), was a source of artistic inspiration not only for the Greek sculptor Praxiteles, but also for modern painters, such as Angelica Kauffman, J.M.W. Turner and the French pompiers. In the XX century, Phryne has been "discovered" also by filmmakers. After the successful 'Altri tempi' by A. Blasetti (1952) where a gorgeous Gina Lollobrigida starred as a modern Phryne, Mario Bonnard directed a péplum entitled "Frine, cortigiana d'Oriente" (1953) starring Elena Kleus. Spite of the absurd title, probably chosen by the production with commercial purposes, the movie is not totally lacking in historical interest: Phryne is represented as a war refugee and as a fierce enemy of Alexander the Great, who had destroyed Thebae, chief town of the region where Phryne was born. As a matter of fact, a main role in the screenplay and direction appears to be due to young Sergio Leone.
The perceived nature and function of planning by domain-related experts: Academic, business, lay, and teacher.
Creators: name: Herbert, Margaret E.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Education, Educational Psychology.

description: It is the underlying postulate of the present research that planning is a skill which enjoys a common mental representation and vocabulary across groups in society. Should this be the case, it may be beneficial to focus instruction on planning, as a vehicle for teaching and operationalizing metacognitive skills. Exploration of this postulate necessitates a fuller understanding of how both the nature and the function of planning are perceived by various representative groups. A deeper awareness of planning knowledge held by domain-related experts has potential to reveal similarities and dissimilarities of mental representations of planning. Toward this end, four groups of experts in academics from cognitive science, business, everyday life-planning, and teaching were provided with input from a telephone survey of the general public through a Delphi Methodology. The reiterative, three round process was undertaken by the participants to explore what is meant by the term planning, how it is done, and where and when it is used. This self-correcting technique permitted each group to generate an excellent and precise definition of planning, to clearly define the terminology used, and to articulate the functions of planning and their contextual applications. The Delphi Method achieved unusually high degrees of agreement both within and across cells as to the nature and function of planning. Additional comments from respondents brought elaboration of their perceptions to light for the purposes of understanding and comparison. There was a remarkable correspondence between the most recent literature on planning and the knowledge base of the respondents. The data confirm that there is a striking convergence, within and across the sampled groups about what planning is and the purposes for which it is used. For all cells, definitions of planning achieved a solid consensus and an impressive 97% agreement on all components of the definition and their descriptors, 89% on the function statements, and 95% for the 159 function descriptors. The analysis of data highlighted areas of similarity and dissimilarity of perceptions on aspects of planning. Cell differences between the Academic, Business, Lay, and Teacher cells were observed and reported. The findings substantiate the proposed use of planning and its vocabulary to assist learners to discuss, comprehend, and employ the underlying metacognitive thinking skills involved for problem solving in school and in real life situations throughout the life span. This valuable connector between ages and contexts has been under-utilized to date. The results of the present study justify planning as an umbrella process for instruction in metacognition.

description: During the last years, the constant increase of the request for transport by road and by rail, connected to the economic and social development process, has provoked the birth of the phenomenon of the vibrations induced by the means of transports, with the result of stimulating the resident population's curiosity and the technical personnel's interest. Into the historic centres of the towns, it is possible to trace a series of concomitant factors that tend further to increase this process: the road superstructure mostly used in the historical centres are often stony, and their usage is due mainly to aesthetic reasons; the no-measurement or the lack of maintenance are often the causes of high levels of roughness; the buildings set into the historical centres have got a historical-art value of primary importance and some part of them (such as mosaics, pictures, etc.) are very sensitive to vibrations, being sticking to the outside walls; According to what said above, the noisy and vibrations provoked by the road traffic are becoming even more one of the main cause of the environmental damage.

description: Capturing patient- or condition-specific intervertebral disk (IVD) properties in finite element models is outmost important in order to explore how biomechanical and biophysical processes may interact in spine diseases. However, disk degenerative changes are often modeled through equations similar to those employed for healthy organs, which might not be valid. As for the simulated effects of degenerative changes, they likely depend on specific disk geometries. Accordingly, we explored the ability of continuum tissue models to simulate disk degenerative changes. We further used the results in order to assess the interplay between these simulated changes and particular IVD morphologies, in relation to disk cell nutrition, a potentially important factor in disk tissue regulation. A protocol to derive patient-specific computational models from clinical images was applied to different spine specimens. In vitro, IVD creep tests were used to optimize poro-hyperelastic input material parameters in these models, in function of the IVD degeneration grade. The use of condition-specific tissue model parameters in the specimen-specific geometrical models was validated against independent kinematic measurements in vitro. Then, models were coupled to a transport-cell viability model in order to assess the respective effects of tissue degeneration and disk geometry on cell viability. While classic disk poro-mechanical models failed in representing known degenerative changes, additional simulation of tissue damage allowed model validation and gave degeneration-dependent material properties related to osmotic pressure and water loss, and to increased fibrosis. Surprisingly, nutrition-induced cell death was independent of the grade-dependent material properties, but was favored by increased diffusion distances in large IVDs. Our results suggest that in situ geometrical screening of IVD morphology might help to anticipate particular mechanisms of disk degeneration.

Late Triassic

description: The Glacier Creek volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit is hosted within Late Triassic, oceanic back-arc or intra-arc, rift-related, bimodal volcanic rocks (Hyd or Tats Group) of the allochthonous Alexander terrane known as the Alexander Triassic Metallogenic Belt (ATMB). The deposit presently consists of four tabular massive sulfide lenses with a resource of 4.75 Mt. at 1.84% Cu, 4.57% Zn, 0.15% Pb, 0.28 g/t Au and 29.07 g/t Ag. A deposit-scale thrust fault offsets stratigraphy along the axial surface of a deposit-scale anticline. The massive sulfide lenses are barite-rich and are divided into 6 main ore-types based on mineral assemblages. There is a large range of sphalerite compositions, with low-Fe sphalerite dominant throughout the lenses and high-Fe sphalerite at the top and bottom of the lenses in pyrrhotite-rich zones. Lenses contain anomalous Sb, Hg and Tl. Gangue minerals include barite, quartz, barian-muscovite, calcite, albite, highly subordinate chlorite and locally hyalophane and celsian. Overlying massive sulfide is a tuffaceous hydrothermal sediment with anomalous REE patterns and local hyalophane. The general footwall to all four lenses is a thick unit of coherent to volcaniclastic feldspar-phyric basalt containing extensive lateral alteration. Four alteration facies are recognized based on mineral assemblages. Mass balance calculations for the footwall indicate general gains of S, Fe, Si and K with coincident loss of Ca, Na and Mg, along with trace element gains of Tl, Sb, Hg, Ba, Zn, Cu, As and loss of Sr with increased alteration intensity. Short wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy shows a general decrease in Na, K and Al content of muscovite and increase of Fe+Mg and Ba content towards ore. Integrated petrographic, mineral, chemical and sulfur-isotope data suggest a transition during deposit formation, from high-temperature, acidic, reduced hydrothermal fluids mixing with oxidized, SO4-rich seawater, to later cooler, low fO2-fS2 conditions of formation and a lack of SO4 in seawater.
Do Gendered Social Institutions and Resources Promote Women's Entrepreneurial Intentions? A Multi-Country Study

description: Women’s entrepreneurship has garnered substantial research interest over the years. The majority of the previous research investigates nascent entrepreneurship rate, while fewer studies investigate entrepreneurial intentions. This study focuses on the relationship between women's entrepreneurial intentions and institutional and personal variables. This study uses data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and Social Institutions and Gender Index databases and covers 43 countries. Both factor analysis and linear regression methodologies are employed. The results show that if women possess higher levels of entrepreneurial skills, have lower levels of fear of failure, and greater social networks, they are more likely to have entrepreneurial intentions. However, the more women have access to land, bank loans, and property other than land, the less likely they desire to become entrepreneurs. Also, social services for women's careers and fair entrepreneurial opportunities for women do not have significant impacts on women's entrepreneurial intentions. The theoretical and empirical implications of the results are discussed.

Linear dynamics subject to thermal fluctuations and non-Gaussian noise: from classical to quantum

description: Abstract The dynamics of a linear system embedded in a heat bath environment and subject to white non-Gaussian noise is studied. Classical higher-order cumulants in coordinate space are derived for Poissonian noise and their impact on the dynamics and on asymptotic steady-state distributions is analyzed. In the quantum regime, non-Gaussian properties are present in reduced density in coordinate representation, but in energy representation they exist on a transient time scale only, due to symmetry. Within an exactly solvable model, our results provide insight into mechanisms of linear detectors as sensors for non-Gaussian noise at high and low temperatures.
title: Disrupting Gender Normativity Through A Social Learning Framework
Creators: name: Shank, Ashley
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Through a social learning theoretical framework, this thesis seeks to understand the mechanisms by which gender normativity is perpetuated, as well as how it may result in the marginalization of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth. Additionally, ways in which TGNC youth navigate oppression and how discrimination against TGNC youth may be reduced through disruption of gender normativity are explored. Using qualitative methods that include the analyzation of community meeting transcripts as well as townhall meetings with TGNC/queer community members, the present study will attempt to answer the following research questions through a social learning theoretical framework: 1. How can transphobic ideals and actions be explained? 2. How are transphobic ideals and rhetoric discussed? 3. How do transgender/gender nonconforming youth navigate discrimination and marginalization? 4. Can the cultural transmission of pro-trans values serve as a protective factor for transgender/gender nonconforming youth? This thesis will fill gaps in the literature by expanding on research pertaining specifically to TGNC youth and utilizing social learning theory to both explain and disrupt gender normativity and the harmful rhetoric associated with it.

description: The current International contexts could not be more convergent in the demand for a strong action at National and regional levels, in terms of a renewed global initiative from South America. Processes and events of real historical projection that have been happening at breakneck pace postponed demand answers from the region. It is in that challenging context in which we must weigh the impact of the vicissitudes of the agendas and processes in South American countries, as well as the multiplicity of the proposed integration and political cooperation on the continent, with different formats and institutional achievements, ideological, commercial and productive. I have no doubt there a "conceptual filters" unavoidable to assess the strength and depth of ideological and programmatic responses of South American left, especially those that have reached the government in recent years.

Keywords: South America, left parties, foreign affairs, integration, internalization.

	Los contextos actuales en materia internacional no podrían ser más convergentes en la demanda de una acción sólida, a nivel nacional y regional, en materia de una renovada iniciativa de inserción mundial desde América del Sur. Los procesos y acontecimientos de auténtica proyección histórica que se vienen sucediendo a ritmo de vértigo demandan respuestas impostergables desde la región. Es en ese contexto desafiante en el que hay que pesar los impactos de los avatares de las agendas y procesos nacionales en los países sudamericanos, así como la multiplicidad de las propuestas de integración y concertación política en el continente, con sus distintos formatos y alcances institucionales, ideológicos, comerciales y productivos. He allí sin duda un «filtro conceptual» ineludible para evaluar la solidez y profundidad de las respuestas programáticas e ideológicas de las izquierdas sudamericanas, en especial de aquellas que han llegado al gobierno en los últimos años.

description: Chatelaine, Canada’s longest running women’s magazine (1928-present), has seen various changes in relation to women’s presence in society, specifically women’s health and bodies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the framing methods employed in the presentation of health content in relation to the evolution of feminism throughout this publication’s existence. Drawing upon Michel Foucault’s (1979; 1980) investigation of power, the body, and sexuality; Susan Bordo’s (1993b) feminist theorizing on the cultural meanings of the female body; Erving Goffman’s (1974) Frame Analysis; and further theoretical foundations of frame analysis by scholars in media and communication studies, this thesis examines the ways which health knowledge in Chatelaine aids in the empowerment and modernization of women. The research design of this thesis employs a quantitative media content analysis and qualitative semi-structured in-depth interviews to explore the presence and production of health content in this publication between 1928 and 2010. Findings demonstrate Chatelaine’s interaction with the feminist movement in Canada—as feminist initiatives and activism in Canada flourish, Chatelaine covers an increasingly broad and diverse body of health topics. The analyses reveal the sophistication in Chatelaine’s health content, which is evidenced in the employment of various journalistic techniques that aid in the development of an increasingly pervasive media text. In doing so, Chatelaine demonstrates its ability to empower women through current, clear, and concise health knowledge.

description: This work fits into the broader academic debate on the legitimacy of the Sociology of Cultural Heritage. The origin of the term itself is investigated by analyzing the words that compose it and their interpretation in the context of post-modern society. The paper then explores some specific aspects of the discipline, such as the fight against the deterioration of Cultural Heritage and the attempt to make it economically attractive and profitable. Finally, it examines in detail several dimensions related to Art and Culture: the desacralization of museums and cultural artefacts, the articulation of historical and artistic heritage, the rediscovery of popular culture and, finally, the definition of the sense of Cultural Heritage.
