James Joyce's Priesthood through his Art of Writing
Creators: name: Melendez, Lillian
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: American literature

description: Dreams are abstract thoughts in one's mind that can be revealed. Thoughts that are suppressed can be revealed in the subconscious mind. Sigmund Freud views dreams as one views sleep; as an abstract code that can be decoded through actions and through the 'slip of the tongue.' The Freudian slip is found in several passages of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. When using Freud's technique, a revelation occurs, suggesting that James Joyce had, indeed, a stabled long profession as a priest, but not in a traditional sense. He used his modernist art form of writing to display religious teachings in his books. His religious nature evolved from studying St. Thomas Aquinas philosophy on the esthetics. Joyce could not separate religion and writing and made being a non-traditional priest an occupation; eliminating the regular ordination process, the title, and duties of a traditional priest. In A Portrait, Joyce was simply writing a fictional autobiography about his experience in school, but his subconscious reveals that in the beginning of the novel, he had a deep devotion for both art and priesthood, and in the middle and end of the novel reveals several tests he had to partake. As the text deconstructs itself, it reveals an adolescent trying to learn how to serve God as a priest through the art form of writing.

description: Electron microscopy (EM) imaging offers unparalleled resolution for analyzing neural tissues, crucial for uncovering the intricacies of synaptic connections and neural processes fundamental to understanding behavioral mechanisms. Recently, the foundation models have demonstrated impressive performance across numerous natural and medical image segmentation tasks. However, applying these foundation models to EM segmentation faces significant challenges due to domain disparities. This paper presents ShapeMamba-EM, a specialized fine-tuning method for 3D EM segmentation, which employs adapters for long-range dependency modeling and an encoder for local shape description within the original foundation model. This approach effectively addresses the unique volumetric and morphological complexities of EM data. Tested over a wide range of EM images, covering five segmentation tasks and 10 datasets, ShapeMamba-EM outperforms existing methods, establishing a new standard in EM image segmentation and enhancing the understanding of neural tissue architecture.

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: St. Mary's College of Maryland -- Environmental aspects
subject: Ecological landscape design

description: Since the first Earth Day in the 1970s, countries around the world have been taking steps toward a greener planet and toward a more sustainable lifestyle. A relatively young concept within the realm of sustainability initiatives is that of integrated landscaping, loosely defined as the design of a space so that natural ecosystem elements are enhanced and/or mimicked for a domestic human setting. Sustainability efforts like these have become an increasingly popular focal point on college campuses, including St. Mary’s College of Maryland (SMCM). Healing gardens are spaces that reconnect users with nature and that provide a physical or psychological restorative effect. As of late, SMCM's healing garden has fallen victim to neglect and is no longer a functional site. Through this document, I aim to highlight the topics of sustainability, of sustainable landscaping, and of healing gardens, and to propose the process by which the SMCM healing [garden] can be restored to a greater level of functionality via integrated landscaping methods for the benefit of campus residences and the local community.
title: Disentangling the Effects of Nativity Status, Race/Ethnicity, and Country of Origin to Better Predict Educational Outcomes for Young, Immigrant Children

description: Though much valuable research has been conducted on the academic achievement and development of school-age immigrant youth, we know much less about the early academic competencies of younger immigrant children. This study describes the school readiness of 2,194 low-income children receiving subsidies to attend childcare with emphasis on how nativity status (generation), race/ethnicity, and national origins might influence children’s preparedness for kindergarten. The Learning Accomplishments Profile – Diagnostic (LAP-D), was used to measure cognitive and language skills, while teacher-report on the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) measured socio-emotional protective factors and behavior. A school readiness screener administered at the beginning of the kindergarten year (Early Screening Inventory; ESI-K) and end of year grades for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade were also examined. Results demonstrate variation does exist in school readiness according to nativity, ethnicity, and national origins. First- and second-generation immigrants lagged behind non-immigrant children in cognitive and language skills but excelled by comparison in socio-emotional skills and behavior. First-generation immigrant children had slight advantages over the other two nativity groups in early academic grades. In many cases, first-generation immigrant children showed more advanced development than second-generation immigrant children, providing some evidence in the early years for the immigrant paradox. The present study raises awareness regarding strengths immigrant children bring with them from a very young age and provides a starting point from which these strengths can be built upon to encourage their success and later academic achievement.

Waste Disposal Action Plan for St. Mary’s College Pub
Creators: name: Braker, Andrew
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: St. Mary's College of Maryland -- Environmental aspects
subject: Refuse and refuse disposal

description: To promote a more sustainable St. Mary’s I am going to increase organization and efficiency of waste disposal practices at the Pub/Grab & Go on campus. Through the introduction of effective signage, the sorting of waste between compostable material, recyclable material, and trash will be improved. Sorting these waste types will increase the amount of compostable and recyclable material produced on campus, as well as decrease the college’s total garbage output. This initiative will improve the college’s waste disposal practices by diverting a large portion of waste from going to the landfill, supplying the school with increased amounts of compost for the campus farm, and promoting environmental stewardship across campus. Due to the simplistic nature of this sorting system, it is not constrained by scale or location. This plan can be replicated, scaled up or down, installed anywhere on campus, or even beyond the college’s boundaries. Introducing improved waste sorting practices to the Pub is a simple, straightforward way of promoting greater sustainability on campus, as well as initiating a far-reaching effect on the greater world.
Caffeine Without Consequence: Implementing a Reusable Cup System at The Daily Grind

description: Waste reduction is one of the main concerns when it comes to sustainability, and college campuses around the world have a big role to play in that. Disposable food and beverage containers comprise a significant portion of trash from universities, making sustainable alternatives such as reusable cups a viable way to reduce overall waste. At St. Mary’s College of Maryland, the on-campus coffee store The Daily Grind offers discounts on drinks for patrons who bring their own coffee mug in an attempt to encourage people not to use disposable paper cups. However, these efforts are currently not well advertised and used infrequently as a result. It is the goal of this project to improve on the existing system at The Daily Grind through improving awareness of both the program and the impact of disposable cups on the environment. In addition, to make it easier for students to participate in the program, reusable coffee mugs from the Campus Store will also be sold at The Daily Grind at a discounted price. With these additional measures put into place, I hope that more students will use reusable coffee mugs over disposable paper cups, reducing overall waste at St. Mary’s and contributing to a more sustainable future.

subject: Environmental education

description: St. Mary’s College of Maryland is a small liberal arts college that is trying to be more sustainable, and although environmental and sustainability focused education is not part of our core curriculum, the St. Mary’s campus has an opportunity for great improvement. By taking advantage of peer education, the core principles of sustainability could be made accessible to every student without the addition of more classes to the Core Curriculum. By recruiting students to teach other students via an Eco-Reps program, students can engage in discourse about sustainability, and could do so via hands on learning. Interactive learning can be more effective than in-class teaching and can help to build habits that will stay with them beyond their time at college. Also, by taking advantage of the Eco-Reps disparate fields of study, such a program could help to integrate multiple disciplines such that students are made aware of the importance of all disciplines to the cause of sustainability. The research laid out within this report helps to lay the ground work for an Eco-Reps program that can then be organized and structured over the course of the next academic year. After the proper arrangements have been made, the St. Mary’s Eco-Reps program should go into effect fall of 2016.
Greening the Grab n' Go: Reducing the Plastic Waste of Dining Services at St. Mary’s College of Maryland

subject: Wood waste as mulch, soil conditioner, etc.

description: This project aims to reduce plastic waste of the Grab n’ Go food service at St. Mary’s College of Maryland by stopping the usage of plastic bags and by replacing plastic utensils with compostable wooden utensils. Stopping the usage of plastic bags would be done most effectively by giving each student a reusable bag for usage at the Grab n’ Go. Students could purchase more bags at the Campus Bookstore if bags were to get lost, ripped, etc. This initiative would prevent the usage of 2,000 plastic bags per week. Plastic utensils would be replaced by compostable wooden utensils from the company Aspenware, which uses waste trees from the logging industry to produce utensils that could be collected and composted at the Campus Community Farm. A successful trial run with compostable utensils could help to start the composting of other compostable food service products that are already used at SMCM but that are thrown away with regular trash. I will be meeting with David Sansotta and Pat Hunt this summer (in charge of Bon Appetit dining services and Procurement at St. Mary’s, respectively) to discuss the designing and ordering of reusable bags and the trial run of Aspenware utensils. Both initiatives would be tried out during the fall 2015 semester.

description: Detecting anomalous behavior in aircraft both during and after the flight is very important and it is of high interest for aviation safety agencies as well as airliners to ensure safe, efficient and environmentally clean flight operations. In this thesis, we study the capability of artificial neural networks in learning to identify anomalous behaviors in archived multivariate time series aircraft data and also in online data streams. The data is collected from flying 500 approaches to San Francisco International Airport on Boeing 777-200 ER aircraft using the X-Plane aircraft simulation. We analyzed the performance of Deep Autoencoders, Recurrent Neural Networks with Long Short-Term Memory units and Recurrent Neural Networks with Gate Recurrent Neural Networks units on the archived timeseries data. Once trained, the Recurrent Neural Network based algorithms can be applied to either previously collected flight data for retrospective analysis (offline mode) or they can be deployed during the flight to detect the anomalies in real time and alert the crew members (online mode). The performance of these algorithms is compared against MKAD, a Support Vector Machine based algorithm developed at NASA. These algorithms detected the anomalous flight types which MKAD was able to detect and also other anomalous flight types which MKAD was not able to detect. Experiments were conducted using various parameters combinations for MKAD to see how the resolution of Symbolic Aggregate Approximation encoding and size of alphabet set impact its performance. Similarly, various architectures of autoencoders and recurrent neural networks were designed and their performance was evaluated in terms of precision, recall and F1 score. Experimental results show that recurrent neural networks outperformed all other models in overall performance.

description: The community members of St. Mary's College of Maryland are interested in and responsible for sustainability because of the rich ecological, historical and cultural resources on campus. This sustainably minded approach has already begun to manifest itself on campus in the food system, however, we are required to continue its development. I wanted to create an avenue through which the wealth of food knowledge and wisdom held by individuals on campus could surface and become easily accessible community information. I opened dialogue with the vegetarian cooperative, whose goal is to eat sustainably, and eventually broadened the conversation to all community members in the form of all-campus emails calling for contributions. I was pleased by the enthusiastic response of the community, confirming my initial suspicions that a sustainable community cookbook would be supported into its completion. Based on support and feedback from the campus community, the cookbook is planned to be released online both in a printable hardcopy form and as an open sourced webpage, accessible to anyone. This will ensure that the cookbook serves as an evolving source for sustainable food initiatives on campus.
St. Mary's Day of Service

Subjects: subject: St. Mary's College of Maryland
subject: Service learning

description: One of the defining principles of the St. Mary's community, as stated in the St. Mary's Way, is a culture of community service. Whether this is a characteristic of the college or a goal for it, there is not sufficient participation on campus to support this ideal. Awareness of service opportunities is presently limited by a lack of visibility. Enhanced publicity of service events both around campus and online would cultivate awareness, but more could be done to cultivate interest. Service provides an opportunity for action and socialization, and I would emphasize that in promoting a campus-wide day of community service. For this event, student clubs and staff departments would organize several separate and interdisciplinary on- and off-campus service opportunities. This event would strengthen community bonds and provide academic enrichment, giving real-world context to abstract issues affecting our community. I am working with the Office of Orientation and Service Activities to plan this event for April 2016. I hope that it becomes a popular annual event and that it strengthens appreciation service and its benefits.

subject: Lighting -- Environmental aspects

description: In order to supplement campus efforts to reduce carbon emissions, I have conducted research on tactics to reduce lighting energy use. This included the history of sustainable lighting at St. Mary’s College, case studies from other institutions, and technical specifications of lighting options. After I established a substantial body of research on the best options available, a project was devised to implement occupancy light sensors into all of the dormitory hallways. In conjunction with the Sustainability Office and Student Government Association members, grant money has been secured to make this project a reality. When implemented, these sensors will not only save energy and money, but teach a new generation of students the importance of ecological responsibility.
Proposal: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory at St. Mary’s College of Maryland

Subjects: subject: St. Mary's College of Maryland -- Environmental aspects
subject: Greenhouse gas mitigation

description: In order to see progress towards climate neutrality, and sustainability in general, a baseline measure of campus emissions must exist. The goal of this project was to build a foundation for this baseline measurement by augmenting St. Mary’s College’s current efforts to quantify greenhouse gas emissions with other institutions' metrics and practices such that St. Mary’s College could eventually publish its own greenhouse gas emissions inventory report. This would have many benefits for the college including more targeted efforts to reduce environmental impact, increased financial savings, an engaged student body with an expanded educational experience, and increased value of the institution as a whole. After summarizing current efforts at St. Mary’s College and reviewing other institutions' greenhouse gas emissions inventories, I developed a list of emissions metrics that should be used at St. Mary’s College, as well as the sources, or likely sources, of those data. Further, I outline a system of reporting these data that incorporates individuals across campus, including students, faculty, and staff, into a relatively effortless and highly educational collaborative process of updating the emissions inventory. While this project was limited by time, the next step is clear: contact and organize the various individuals (outlined in this proposal) necessary for data collection. Successfully doing so initiates the process of annual reporting necessary for a greenhouse gas emissions inventory at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.
Peer Review

description: Peer review's importance in academic research and scholarship suggests that it may present a particularly challenging and useful design problem for the digital humanities. How might scholars who are particularly engaged with the challenges presented by networks for the gathering, structuring, and analysis of data work together to develop flexible review processes for new forms of digital work – and how must those scholars work together to articulate and promote the values through which such work is evaluated? This chapter explores the historical development of peer review, as well as some recent network-based experiments with new forms of review, as a means of arguing for the kind of processes that might best serve the needs of digital communities of practice.

description: Las innovaciones tecnológicas del siglo xix contribuyeron al desarrollo del ferrocarril, incidiendo en la circulación de bienes y personas hacia destinos lejanos. Esta moda común de las sociedades europeas se desplazó a otras latitudes y Yucatán no fue la excepción. El ferrocarril propició cambios significativos porque la élite local se aficionó a los viajes hacia las recién descubiertas playas como lugares de veraneo y espacios exclusivos. No obstante, cuando el pueblo fracturó la división social en las playas, la élite se trasladó a nuevos lugares de sociabilidad (haciendas y pueblos) como lugares exóticos. Las exclusividades se ampliaron a finales del siglo xix con los vapores y nuevos destinos: Estados Unidos y Europa. Este trabajo analiza el papel que desempeñó el espacio de exclusividad elitista como referente en la elección de sus destinos y en su diferenciación social con el pueblo.

Abstract

The technological innovations of the 19th century contributed to the development of the railway, affecting the movement of goods and people to distant destinations. This common trend of European societies moved to other latitudes and Yucatan was no exception. Railroad led to significant changes because local elite encroached to travel towards the newly discovered beaches as holiday venues and exclusive spaces. However, when the town fractured the social division in the beaches, the elite moved to new places of sociability (haciendas and towns) as exotic locations. The exclusives were expanded at the end of the 19th century with fumes and new destinations: United States and Europe. This paper analyzes the role played by space of elitist exclusivity as a reference point in the choice of their destiny and their social differentiation with the people.

description: El presente trabajo explora la recepción de Walter Benjamin en el joven Ricardo Piglia. Se muestra que los aportes benjaminianos, junto a los de Bertolt Brecht, resultaron fundamentales para la autocomprensión de Piglia en el contexto de los agitados debates estético-políticos de los años 60 y 70. Piglia se valió del Benjamin brechtiano para articular estética y política de un modo que singularizó su trabajo crítico en aquellos años. Desde los parámetros de una estética de la producción, construyó una postura que trascendía no sólo las estéticas idealistas, sino también los postulados del realismo socialista, superando así la oposición entre experimentación estética y politización del arte.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the reception of Walter Benjamin by the young Ricardo Piglia. Walter Benjamin, together with Bertolt Brecht, was very important for Piglia’s self-comprehension in the context of the agitated aesthetical-political debates of the ’60s and ’70s. Piglia makes use of the Brechtian Benjamin to articulate aesthetics and politics in a way that singles out his critical work in those years. He builds, from the parameters of a production aesthetic, a position that goes beyond not only the idealistic aesthetics but also the principles of the socialist realism, putting aside the opposition between aesthetic experimentation and politicization of art.

description: Ante el ascenso de Estados Unidos, el gobierno de España tomó conciencia de la importancia de celebrar el IV Centenario del Descubrimiento de América en 1892 y promover la idea de una “comunidad espiritual” con sus antiguas colonias, basada en un idioma, una religión y una historia comunes. Uno de los eventos organizados fue la Exposición Histórico-Americana en Madrid que pretendía “reconstruir el estado de civilización” en el que se encontraban los pobladores del continente americano a la llegada de los españoles.Las recién conformadas naciones hispanoamericanas, promovieron un movimiento sin precedentes encaminado a la recolección y catalogación de “antigüedades indígenas”, que por primera vez serían las protagonistas de un evento de carácter internacional. Dicha exposición constituye así un espacio propicio para analizar el papel del hispanismo en la construcción de una imagen nacional alusiva al pasado prehispánico.

Abstract

At the end of the 19th century, before the rise of the United States as a world power, the Government of Spain became aware of the importance of commemorating the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America and promoting the idea of a “spiritual community” with its former colonies, based on common language, religion and history. One of the events planned for that purpose was the Historic-American Exhibition, organized in Madrid in 1892. The goal of this exhibition was to rebuild the “state of civilization” in which the settlers of the American continent had been living prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. The newly formed Latin American nations promoted an unprecedented movement, aimed at collecting and cataloguing “indigenous antiquities”, which for the first time would be the protagonists of an event of international character. This exhibition is an ideal space to analyze the role of Hispanism in the construction of a national image related to the pre-hispanic past.

description: This thesis proposes a method for investigating structural breaks in a non-stationary spatial random field and provide a piecewise stationary approximation that best describes the process. Suppose a random field is observed only once over a regular grid. We study the covariance structure of this field in the frequency domain. In the first part the thesis, we define a spectral difference statistic, a spatially varying quantity showing the difference between local spatial spectral density integrated over a range of frequencies. This spectral difference process is expected to be uniformly close to zero if and only if the underlying field is stationary. This intuitive behavior is justified by a rigorous derivation of the asymptotic behavior of this process under an increasing domain asymptotic scheme. This result is then utilized to construct a consistent and asymptotic level alpha test for the hypothesis of stationarity using the maximum of the spectral difference process over locations and range of frequencies. A field plot of this spectral difference process, called discrepancy map, further provides insight to the nature of nonstationarity presents in the observed field. Next, we propose a method to construct a piece-wise approximation of the observed random field, where the pieces are spatial regions with linear boundaries by an iterative search. A hierarchical clustering algorithm is used to appropriately merge the initial partition to produce the final approximation. A computationally efficient implementation of this methodology has been outlined. The accuracy and performance of the proposed methods are demonstrated via extensive simulations and two case studies on real data. The later part of the thesis outlines strategies of extending this methodology for a random field observed at irregularly spaced locations. The efficiency of this extension is investigated by some numerical experiments.

description: Este artículo analiza la censura de las buenas intenciones, es decir la censura políticamente necesaria representada por los peregrinos políticos desde, por y para la Revolución Cubana, y que discutiremos como un modus operandi de la burocracia cubana. El ‘Revuelo P.M.’ en 1961, el engavetamiento de la película de peregrinaje Soy Cuba en 1964, la condena a Pablo Neruda por participar en el Congreso del Pen Club en 1966 y el Caso Padilla en 1971 son modelos censorios iniciáticos cuya secuenciación representacional ha dispuesto un esquema coercitivo, acusatorio y reprendiente de cara al espacio cívico, intelectual y político del porvenir de la sociedad cubana.

Abstract

This article examines the well-intentioned censorship, that is the politically necessary censorship represented by political pilgrims towards the Cuban Revolution, which it is discussed as a modus operandi of the Cuban bureaucracy. The scandal around the documentary film P.M. in 1961, the shelving of the political pilgrimage film Soy Cuba in 1964, the condemnation against Pablo Neruda in 1966, and the Padilla Affair in 1971 have been different well-intentioned censorship acts. Moreover, these acts become founding censorship models whose sequencing of representations has established a coercive and accusatory scheme in relation to the future of the civic, political and intellectual spaces in the Cuban society.

Subjects: subject: Abortion
subject: Malta
subject: COVID-19
subject: Health policy
subject: Intersection
subject: Reproductive rights

description: This thesis examines the impact COVID-19 has had on abortion access in two nations, Malta and the United States of America. It analyses this impact through examining the relationship between law and society, basic human needs theory, and structural violence theory. By using these lenses for examination and comparing the different outcomes in the Maltese case study and American case study, focusing on Virginia and Arkansas at a state level, then meaning may be derived. Through a conflict lens, this thesis hopes to look at the sociological and governmental structures that can either complicate or simplify abortion access.
Consolidación y transformación partidaria. Institucionalización, liderazgo y capacidad de adaptación en el Frente Amplio de Uruguay

description: El final del sistema bipartidista en Uruguay está asociado al exitoso desempeño del Frente Amplio, un partido fundado en 1971 como una coalición de grupos de izquierda. En este artículo se analiza el proceso de construcción partidaria que pautó el tránsito desde la coalición desafiante inicial hasta el partido finalmente gobernante. En particular, se estudia la influencia de las características de la organización política sobre el proceso de adaptación partidaria que se verificó desde 1994. Para discutir la forma en que en este caso se produce la relación entre institucionalización y adaptación partidaria, se incorpora el análisis de la dimensión actitudinal de la primera y el papel que los liderazgos partidarios tuvieron en la segunda.

Abstract

The end of the Uruguayan two-party system is associated with the successful performance of the Frente Amplio, a party founded in 1971 as a coalition of leftist groups. This article analyzes the process of party building, that is the transition from the initial challenger coalition to the ruling party. In particular, this paper studies the influence of party organization on the adaptation process verified 1994. To discuss the relationship between party institutionalization and adaptation in this case, it includes an analysis of the attitudinal dimension of the first and the role of party leaders in the second.

description: Virtualization is utilized by all the Tech companies in their software product development and deployment on a regular basis. Containers lead to a huge hype due to the success of Docker, a tool to use containers, that made software development and deployment easier as well modular. Prior to Containers, Virtual Machines were almost the only form of Virtualization that was used and was considered stable. Due to these new emerging technologies, there has been a lot of research published over comparison in performance of Host, Virtual Machine and Containers. But there has not been much work done in the area of Big Data applications such as Microbenchmarks, Graph applications, Search applications and Machine learning running in these different environments over frameworks such as Apache Hadoop, Spark, Flink, etc. so that we can understand how different components of computer architecture are affected. This thesis compares the performance of these standard big data applications on host, virtual machines and containers (specifically Docker) by running these applications and fetching hardware counter values of C0 state, L3/L2 caches hits, CPU power etc. which would help create a pictorial representation of their comparison. This comparison has been able to justify that application running on Apache Flink, considering some trade-offs, executes Graph, Search and Machine Learning Applications execute faster and more efficiently than on Apache Spark and Hadoop MapReduce. However, Microbenchmark applications perform faster and efficiently on Apache Spark than on Hadoop MapReduce or Apache Flink. Previous research has stated that host and container environment would have almost same performance and there would be some overhead faced in running applications on Virtual Machines but looking at the results, it can be stated that nothing can specifically be drawn about the performance in different environments, different applications running in different frameworks have different performance and this has been discussed and detailed in this work.

description: Coloniality is a complex heritage encapsulating complex cultural challenges confronting the performance artist. Nigerian musical production appears to have been operating in a world without borders since the advent of colonialism. There have been non-indigenous forms brought into the cultural landscape which have challenged the performers. The performers have had to respond in a variety of ways but one dominant form of artistic response has been the adaptation and utilization of non-indigenous musical styles to create hybrid musical products and performances stabilized with indigenous elements. The efforts of Akande Abolore aka 9ice in this regard has become significant in that he has brought into what he calls afro hip-hop the copious use of oral resources. He builds his musical style on orality, combining oral elements with oral sensibilities from his indigenous Yoruba language to forge a new form in which there is an interaction of codes, forms and levels of creative expression. He is thereby concretising a norm in Nigerian musical performance in which indigenous elements dominate western ones and in which Nigerian music speaks to the world in her own terms.  Keywords: post-coloniality, orality, musical performance, oral forms, call and response
