description: This dissertation demonstrates how the Weltanschauung found in Álvaro Mutis´s oeuvre is profoundly influenced by a late romantic conscience found in the Latin American posvanguardia generation (1920 – 1940). Melancholy –as late modern affective condition- and fading of the subject –as narrative and aesthetic imaginary- are two central figures in his fictional universe. As a consequence of this, some of the heroes and topics in Mutis’s oeuvre are in dialogue with the main topics of the first literary movement in Hispanic America, Modernism. Some of them are: a religious ambiance in their prose, hedonism, cosmopolitanism, decadentism, Latin American landscape as entropy and a fractured self. There is a narrative logic in the literary corpus analyzed –which one can extend to Mutis’ s oeuvre. The hero, before starting his adventure, begins a psychological phenomenology called “fading of the subject”, which is a symbolic process that affects not only his stability as a hero but also the enterprise to which he is committed; all this thanks to his “melancholic condition”. This emotional process begins by revealing poetic images of internal destruction, amalgamation and death, which the hero transfers to the external world. In some of the texts analyzed this process concludes by producing death and devastation (El Húsar, La muerte del estratega), in others there is an urgent need to a symbolic resignification (Amirbar) that allows the hero to survive and start a new adventure. This “spiritual condition” is something Maqroll - Mutis’ main character- knows well when someone asks him about his precarious physical condition, “The tropical fevers...I have them already!” (Amirbar 491)
DE QUELQUES NOTIONS INTERESSANT LA REFLEXION SUR LES CURRICULUMS POUR UNE EDUCATION PLURILINGUE ET INTERCULTURELLE.

description: L’articolo prende in esame alcune nozioni che sono correlate alle opzioni curricolari presentate nella Guida per lo sviluppo e l’attuazione di curricoli per una educazione plurilingue e interculturale del Consiglio d’Europa attraverso anche una rilettura del Quadro comune Europeo di riferimento per le Lingue. Le nozioni sono quelle di competenza, esperienza, mediazione e alterazione. Competenza ed esperienza, considerate come un insieme orientato di capacità, di risorse e di opportunità, rinviano ad acquisizioni e a possibilità di sviluppo degli apprendimenti linguistici e interculturali; a loro volta mediazione e alterazione rinviano ad un processo che conduce ad un risultato. È sugli aspetti linguistici di queste quattro entità nozionali che viene rivolta l’attenzione nella prospettiva di una educazione alla pluralità linguistica e culturale.SOME INTERESTING IDEAS ON CURRICULUA FOR MULTILINGUAL AND INTERCULTURAL EDUCATIONThis article examines some of the notions linked to curriculum options set out in the Guide for the development and implementation of curricula for plurilingual and intercultural education compiled by the Council of Europe based on the European Community Framework of Reference for Languages. The notions considered are competence, experience, mediation and alteration. Competence and experience, inform ability, resources and opportunities, referring to acquisition and the possibility to develop linguistic and intercultural learning; mediation and alteration are linked to a process that leads to a result. Attention is placed on the linguistic aspects of these 4 notions in a perspective of multilingual and multicultural education.

description: Over the last few decades Acinetobacter baumannii has been documented around the globe as being a serious nosocomial pathogen among critically ill patients. This bacterium is capable of causing infections such as meningitis, septicaemia, urinary tract infections, endocarditis, skin and wound infections and respiratory infections. Infections are often complicated to treat due to the high levels of antibiotic resistance displayed by these bacteria. The aim of this work was to initially examine the potential virulence properties such as hydrophobicity, biofilm formation and the resistance of a collection of clinical and non-clinical strains of A. baumannii against a high number of beta-lactam antibiotics. The study was then investigated the presence of virulence genes commonly found among Gram-negative bacteria in these strains and looked at the interaction of these bacteria with a human gut epithelial cell line (Caco-2 cells) to identify the mechanism by which these bacteria translocate in the gut to cause septicaemia. The study ended with examining the role of a selection of known probiotic strains to inhibit the adhesion and translocation of these bacteria using the Caco-2 cells as a model. The results showed that both clinical and non-clinical strains of Acinetobacter belonging to different species, share many virulence potential and were capable of translocating in Caco-2 cells. It was also found that although both clinical and non-clinical isolates showed antibiotic resistance. Levels of antibiotic resistance were significantly higher in clinical isolates. This could be largely due to the possession of integrons. Extended spectrum beta-lactamases were not detected in either clinical or non-clinical isolates. Only one non-clinical isolate showed to produce metallo beta-lactamase enzyme.
Toward a Cross-Disciplinary Analysis of Group Development Models: Intersecting Organizational Studies with Applied Sport Psychology

description: Group development research conducted within applied sport psychology shares many conceptual similarities with the field of organizational studies. This thesis investigates how the cross-integration of two group development models referenced from separate fields of study can converge to produce a comprehensive analytic model for evaluating group performance. Integrating Tuckman's (1965; Tuckman & Jensen, 1977) successive five stage group development model with Carron's (1982) general conceptual system for cohesiveness in sport teams, this thesis develops an original integrative cross-disciplinary schematic for group development. Guided by a systems approach, the analysis of this model reveals how cross-disciplinary research conducted within these two fields serves to identify mutual benefits, while highlighting the similarities and differences from both group development models. A key contribution of this study is the consideration of opportunities for enhancing current knowledge, and the harmonization of strategic and humanistic approaches to management. The conclusions drawn from this thesis raise significant questions about the potential yielded through the adoption of theoretical applications from applied sport psychology to an organizational context.

description: Nella prima parte il testo presenta un quadro aggiornato sugli alunni con cittadinanza non italiana nelle scuole: quantità, percentuali, provenienze, neo arrivati, nati in Italia, confronto con altri Paesi europei, con alcune annotazioni sulla percezione del fenomeno. Si delinea un “paesaggio” italiano con tre caratteristiche: velocità del cambiamento (soprattutto rispetto ad altri Paesi europei); policentrismo diffuso (la dimensione multiculturale coinvolge non solo le scuole delle grandi città ma anche le piccole città e i paesi); la molteplicità delle cittadinanze (la presenza di molte diversità di provenienze e di lingue e culture nelle scuole e nelle classi). Nella seconda parte si presenta un “decalogo” dei possibili vantaggi della dimensione plurilingue e multiculturale attraverso alcune parole chiave ricavate dall’autore attraverso un viaggio esplorativo nelle scuole d’Italia.THE “ADVANTAGES” OF A MULTICULTURAL SCHOOLThe first part of this paper presents up-to-date information on non-Italian students enrolled in Italian schools: quantity, percentages, countries of origin, those born in Italy, compared to other European countries, with a few notes regarding how this phenomenon is perceived. The Italian “landscape” is characterized by three aspects: speed of change (especially in comparison to other European countries); wide-spread polycentrism (the multicultural dimension involves not only schools in large cities but also small cities and towns); the multitude of nationalities (there are many different nationalities, languages and cultures in schools). The second part presents the possible advantages of the multilingual and multicultural dimension through key words singled-out by the author thanks to explorations in Italian schools.

description: This dissertation attempts to extend the classes of halogen-containing systems which may be studied using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR). As line shape broadening due to the quadrupolar interaction (QI) scales inversely with the applied field, high-field magnet technology is indispensable for this research. Combining advanced radiofrequency pulse sequences with high-field wideline data acquisition allowed for the collection of very broad SSNMR signals of all quadrupolar halogen nuclei (i.e., 35/37Cl, 79/81Br and 127I) within a reasonable amount of experimental time. The initial systems for study were of the MX2 variety (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; X = Cl, Br, I). In total, 9 anhydrous compounds were tested. The effects of hydrate formation were tested on 7 additional compounds. Systematic trends in the observed δiso values (and to a lesser extent, Ω and CQ) were found to be diagnostic of the extent of hydration in these materials. Resolving power was successfully tested using SrBr2, which possesses 4 magnetically unique sites. The composition of CaBr2•xH2O was convincingly determined using SSNMR data and the hydration trends noted above. The sensitivity of the QI to the local bonding environment (e.g., bond distance changes of less than 0.05 Å) was used to refine (when coupled with gauge-including projector augmented-wave density functional theory (GIPAW DFT) quantum chemical computations) the structure of MgBr2, and was used to correct prior NMR data for CaCl2 (earlier accounts had been performed upon a CaCl2 hydrate). During NMR data analysis of certain iodine-containing materials, it was found that standard fitting software (which uses perturbation theory) could not reproduce the observations. Proper analysis required the use of exact simulation software and allowed for the observation of high-order quadrupole-induced effects (HOQIE). This motivated further studies using rhenium-185/187 nuclei, where it was expected that HOQIE would be more dramatic. The observed rhenium SSNMR spectra possessed additional fine structure that had never been observed before experimentally, nor would be expected from currently-available perturbation theory analysis software. Lastly, preliminary results are shown where 127I SSNMR is used to study important supramolecular systems, and the composition of the popular synthetic reagent ‘GaI’ is elucidated.

description: During recent years the number of online platforms sharing research data for re-analysis has grown strongly. Almost every subject-specific research community has realized that data sharing can lead to faster, better and more accurate further developments. In order to support science to reinvent itself, to be more dynamic and effective, it is mandatory to implement open science. Nowadays some of the main trends are to make science as open and reproducible as possible, to create repository-like platforms around subject-specific communities, where results of research can be published as datasets or reusable resources, and to make the shared data FAIR. There is an increased interest for FAIR-ification of the published research data and for providing the necessary services to generate reproducible content from and for experiments as well as numerical modelling and simulation. In order to reach the open science goal for subject-specific research communities, criteria for curation and FAIR-ification of their published data have to be established. In this contribution, we discuss some of the challenges raised by the implementation of open science and the technical possibilities to reach this objective within the plasma technology community. Our approach in this direction is to refine the data platform for plasma technology INPTDAT ( https://www.inptdat.de ) by adding new features like (i) linking and enriching research metadata by means of a knowledge graph, based on a subject-specific ontology; (ii) quality assurance, reputation monitoring and reproducibility track with the aid of blockchain technology. Within the framework of the joint project QPTDat we are about to develop these features as external services which will provide knowledge and support for the entire plasma technology community, especially for other online platforms and portals acting in this field. The Plasma Technology Ontology as a Service (PTOaaS) will support the FAIR-ification of the data, e.g. by providing a standardized vocabulary for semantic annotations. Using smart contracts, the Plasma Technology Blockchain as a Service (PTBaaS) will enable, i.a. automation of curation processes, verification of quality criteria, and reputation monitoring.

description: This doctorate of Creative Arts, Creative Writing entitled inWünderland includes a novel, mobile phone application and accompanying exegesis. The transmedia novel and exegesis addresses the research question: How can I construct an immersive, cohesive transmedia novel that purposefully weaves multimodal narrative elements across a range of media? A balanced approach between research-led practice and practice-led research, as advocated by Smith & Dean (2009), has been chosen as the methodological approach for undertaking this research question. The practice-led component has resulted in the production of the transmedia novel inWünderland, which encompasses two main components: a book (designed to be read in print or e-Print) and a mobile phone application. My exegesis tracks transmedia discoveries learnt throughout the production of the artefact, using the Practitioner Model of Creative Cognition as advocated by Skains (2018). This combination of a research-led and practice-led approach seeks to make connections with established bodies of research, building upon existing knowledge to present original research findings.
Type A behaviour and trait anger in boys: Behavioural, cognitive, and physiological correlates.
Creators: name: Sananes, Renee.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Personality.

description: Coronary heart disease represents one endpoint of a process that begins early on in life. Recent interest has focused on identifying in children the presence of risk factors known to occur in adults. One such risk factor is the Type A behaviour pattern. Originally defined as consisting of enhanced aggressiveness, easily aroused hostility, a sense of time urgency, and competitive achievement-striving, many investigators recognized this behaviour pattern as a major independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. However, more recent research with adult populations has clearly shown that not all aspects of Type A are equally important risk factors. Hostility and cynicism appear to be the critical components implicated in increased disease risk. Research with children has identified the presence of Type A behaviours; however, studies have yet to address the issue of critical aspects of this behaviour pattern in children. The present study examined whether certain critical components of Type A, parallel to those identified for adults, could be identified in young boys, and whether they predicted psychophysiological functioning better than global Type A. Sixty-three fourth, fifth, and sixth grade boys differing on behaviour type (A/B) and/or trait anger (high/low) status were studied to determine the relative effects of these variables on four variables: attributional style; peer perceptions of social behaviour; anger expression stylistics; and physiological (blood pressure) reactivity. These boys were selected from a larger sample of 163 fourth, fifth, and sixth grade boys based on their scores on a teacher measure of Type A and a self-rating of trait anger. High trait anger boys were found to differ from low trait anger boys on peer perceptions of social behaviours, mode of anger expression, and attributions of intentionality in response to ambiguous peer provocations. Type A/B differences were found only for peer perceptions of aggressive behaviours. Contrary to expectations, no differences in blood pressure reactivity in response to interpersonal conflict were found for either high versus low trait anger or Type A versus Type B groups. Overall, the results of the current study call into question the utility of the global Type A construct as an index of coronary-proneness. The implications of the current findings for both the early identification and tracking of coronary-prone behaviours and for goals and targets of intervention are discussed.

description: The social and urban framework of the modern world relies heavily on automotive culture to augment a lifestyle centered on freedom of movement, convenience and prestige (see, for example; Abbott and Wilson 1995, 262-263; Freund 1993; Litman 2009; Marsh and Collett 1989; Sloman 2006; Urry 2010, 116-130). Historically, governments have investigated policy and future transport planning through measures, such as considering methods for achieving low emissions through systems that involve infrastructural and behavioral change (town planning, carpooling, low emission vehicles and bicycle usage). Whilst these measures are critical for addressing current engine particulate emissions and traffic density, government information on recommending alternative HPV vehicle types beyond bicycles has not been produced at the time of thesis publication3 . As an alternative to current automobility, the veromobile is described by Cox and Van de Walle (2007) as a "… kind of car without an engine" (114) by augmenting some functions of both bicycles (human power, simple drivetrain, no licence) and cars (fairings, cargo capacity). Further diversification of HPVs or velomobile typeshas been achieved through experimenting with variations of layouts for specialised tasks such as load carrying (see; Cox 2008, 147-149; Papanek 2009, 238-241), commuter proposals (Papanek 2009,264) and racing development (Van de Walle 2004, 45,62-63, 92), which has unlocked the potential for HPVs " ... tak[ing] less energy, go[ing] faster ... [the rider being] safer and more comfortable, provid[ing] more weather protection, and even ... more manoeuvrable than standard bicycles" (Abbott and Wilson 1995, 110, 258-259).
Hydraulic improvements in culverts for climate change adaptation

description: Long lasting hydraulic engineering is challenged by changes and trends in weather patterns, causing different discharge rates that were not anticipated in the original design of the structures. Flow rates, higher than anticipated in the original design, potentially damage the infrastructure itself as well as upstream property. Culverts are a common solution for crossings between man-made transport routes and natural streams. The aim of this research was to find efficient ways to substantially increase the discharge capacity of existing culverts to cope with new hydrological parameters without rebuilding them. To investigate possible improvements, factors that influence performance in culverts were reviewed (Chapter 1). This review determined the following research areas that comprised the study; a performance comparison of flow regimes in submerged flow conditions (Chapter 2), different inlet modifications and their potential to increase discharge capacities (Chapter 3), possible improvements for misaligned culverts (Chapter 4) and the risk of culvert blockage due to debris mobilization and transportation (Chapter 5). This research found that (i) discharge improvements in culverts allow for a flexible adaption to changing precipitation patterns at low economic costs and (ii) that flow improvements for misaligned culverts reduced sedimentation and erosion issues. These findings can be used to improve and expand existing guidelines and adapt existing structures at a savings compared to complete replacements.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: This investigation involved the fabrication and testing to failure of a large number of nominally identical reinforced concrete members such as 20 simple beams, 20 two-span continuous beam and 20 columns. The simple beams were of rectangular section 5" wide by 8" deep with 2-#5 bars as tension reinforcement only. The simple beams were loaded to failure using equal loads at the third points. The two-span continuous beams, also of rectangular section 5" x 8" had both tension (2-#5 bars) and compression (2-#5 bars) reinforcement, equal loads were applied at the centre of each span. The column was rectangular in section (6" x 6") with symetrical reinforcement of 4-#5 bars. The column was loaded to failure by an eccentric load. The distribution of load carrying capacity of the members was determined by finding the joint probability of a given concrete strength and steel yield stress occurring and calculating the ultimate load using a prediction formulae. From the comparison of the results, it was found that the experimentally determined mean strength of the beams and columns were in good agreement with the ultimate loads which were calculated from the prediction formulae of the National Building Cade of Canada and the building code requirement of the American Concrete Institute. From the predicted distribution of ultimate load capacity the probability of the ultimate load being less than the design load was determined. Using the &phis; factors recommended by the NBC. The probability of failure for the columns was less than 0.01% and 7% for the beams.

description: The development of new high throughput technologies able to multiplex disease biomarkers as well as advances in medical treatments has lead to the recent expansion of the newborn screening panel to include DNA-based targets. Four rare disorders; deletion 22q11.2 syndrome and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) and Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV), are potential candidates for inclusion to the newborn screening panel within the next few years. The major focus of this study was to determine whether 5’-hydrolysis assays developed for the four distinct disorders with specific detection needs and analytical ranges could be combined on the OpenArray system and in multiplexed qPCR reactions. SNP detection of homozygous SMN1 deletions in SMA, CNV detection in the 22q11.2 critical region, and quantification of the SCID biomarker, T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) and CMV were all required for disease confirmation. SMA and 22q11.2 gene deletions were accurately detected using the OpenArray system, a first for the technology. The medium density deletion 22q11.2 multiplex successfully identified deletion carriers having either the larger 3 Mb deletion or the smaller 1.5 Mb deletions. Both TREC and CMV targets were detected but with a decrease in sensitivity when compared to their singleplex counterparts. Lastly, copy number detection of the TBX1 was performed when multiplexed with the TREC assay, without a decrease in detection limit of either assay. Here, we provide proof of principal that qPCR multiplexing technologies are amenable to implementation with a newborn screening laboratory.

description: There is recent evidence that astrocytes play an essential role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neuroinflammatory conditions. MS is characterized by inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS), which results in demyelination and injury of axons. Astrocytes contribute to both the progression of MS by promoting inflammation and neurodegeneration through cytokine release and impaired remyelination. Despite these pro-inflammatory mechanisms, astrocytes also exert protective effects by inhibiting de-myelination and supporting neuronal regeneration. Cell cultures, a common technique used to study astrocytes, require growth conditions that mimic the environment from which the cells were extracted. However, in conventional cell culture, cells are often exposed to oxygen levels almost four times higher (21%) than what they encounter in the brain (3-6%). Furthermore, previous studies have indicated that astrocytes are sensitive to changes in oxygen levels. Therefore, using a tri-gas incubator, in which oxygen concentrations can be controlled, I investigated how astrocytes behave and respond to hypoxic insults when cultured at physiologically relevant oxygen concentrations. I found that culturing astrocytes at physiological, as opposed to atmospheric, oxygen levels changed their morphology, decreased their proliferation rate, reduced their ability to repopulate a scratched area, and decreased major histocompatibility class I expression. My results indicate that culturing astrocytes at a physiologically relevant oxygen concentration and exposing them to hypoxic insults decreased their reactivity, pro-inflammatory profile, and neuroprotective capabilities, but increased their glycolytic activity. These findings highlight the importance of taking oxygen concentrations into account when studying reactive astrogliosis. Moreover, considering that hypoxia is associated with MS disease progression, these findings also set the stage for further studies into the effect of hypoxia on astrocyte functions in neurological disorders like MS.

description: The following thesis describes and analyses the representation of lung cancer in the Canadian print media. The thesis employs a theoretical framework comprised of Giddens’ theory of reflexivity and Goffman’s theory of framing, to understand the social dynamics of negotiation behind the disease’s portrayal in the media, in a late modern context. Late modernity was defined by institutional reflexivity and a focus on understanding and mitigating risk. The research was conducted through a content analysis and examined quantitative trends that contributed to a subsequent qualitative interpretation. The results show that the coverage of lung cancer decreased over time. The analysis shows a discourse of a biomedical institution that has unsuccessfully controlled the disease, a lack of patient advocacy, particularly among celebrities, and a continued conflation of smoking behaviour and lung cancer, all of which contributed to the decreasing coverage. The framing processes point to a society focused on understanding risk through studying the disease’s causes, as well as one concerned with legislative debate and behavioural prevention. The emergence of a frame focused on the patient’s lived experience might contribute to an improved representation of the disease.

description: Cette thèse traite des possibilités d’intégration de l’opinion publique dans les opérations du système de droit criminel. En s’appuyant sur le cadre de la théorie des systèmes de Niklas Luhmann et sur le concept de rationalité pénale moderne d’Alvaro Pires, cette thèse prétend faire une double contribution. D’un côté, il est question d’avancer des distinctions et des précisions théoriques sur ce qui peut constituer cette opinion publique – et même, de façon plus générale, les stimuli externes apparentés à ce concept (public, mouvements de protestation, victimes) – et d’examiner la façon de concevoir son rapport avec le système de droit criminel. D’un autre côté, il est question d’observer empiriquement les mécanismes que ledit système met en place pour gérer la pression qu’il ressent de son environnement. Qui plus est, en nous servant de ce concept de rationalité pénale moderne, nous essayons de montrer dans cette thèse que des stimuli externes qui prônent un système plus punitif et intolérant ont beaucoup plus de chances d’être entendus que des communications qui sont critiques à l’égard de la punitivité du système. Finalement, nous devons ajouter que ce travail a eu l’ambition de faire une « sociologie du droit avec le droit », c’est-à-dire que la sociologie qui a été mise en place ici a eu l’intention de prendre en considération le point de vue interne du droit. Ses catégories, son raisonnement et ses opérations sont traités à partir d’un cadre théorique de la sociologie, mais toujours en considérant que le système juridique a une logique propre qui est souvent oubliée par la sociologie du droit.

description: The Forest Resources Assessment 2015 is a comprehensive dataset from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which provides the opportunity to explore some of the emerging topics related to sustainable forest management. This paper assesses how forests in British Columbia, Canada, compare globally on several key sustainable forest management parameters in four domains—biophysical indicators and legal framework, management plans, data management, and stakeholder involvement. The comparison was done against eight jurisdictions, namely Australia, China, Japan, the European Union, New Zealand, the Russian Federation and the USA. To accomplish our objectives, country-specific data on sustainable forest management parameters were extracted from the 2015 FAO’s Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA). Data specific to B.C. were sourced from Canada’s National Forest Inventory, and National Forest Database. Our results showed that British Columbia (B.C.) has one of the highest proportions of land covered with forests (57%) among all jurisdictions. The total forest area in B.C. has remained stable at around 55 million ha. The current rate of deforestation (6200 ha per year) is among the lowest in all jurisdictions. Data on the extent of primary forests in B.C. is unavailable. However, 22.6 million ha (41% of B.C.′s forests) have been classified as old growth forests (using a definition unique to B.C.). B.C. is the leading provincial forest producer by volume, and produced 67.97 million m3 of roundwood in 2015. With approximately 11 billion m3 of standing timber, roundwood production volume has held steady since 1990. In British Columbia, the National Forest Inventory—British Columbia Program (NFI-B.C.) is used to track and monitor the current status of the forests. It involves both ground plots and remote sensing. The most recent B.C. State of the Forests is one of the most comprehensive reports among all jurisdictions, using 24 topic areas, with each topic comprising several indicators of sustainable forest management. We conclude that British Columbia ranks high among other jurisdictions on several key sustainable forest management parameters with legislation and forest management regimes aiming to meet the environmental, social and economic needs of current and future generations.

description: This poster suggests that open science is defined as opening research outputs in the different institutional policies. Therefore the main open science components developed in the guidelines are open access and open research data. Other open science components are only very seldomly developed. As for the different intertextual relations of the institutional open science policies, it is evident that some references are repeated as key antecedents, and others are highly particular to each case. For example, the Brazilian institution's declaration on open science relates to the international organizations point of reference, while the other institutional policies do not mention this. This suggests a case of policy transfer up to a certain degree. It is possible to observe that in the French case, the interest in open science is a strategic goal for the government through a top-down policy approach with laws, roadmaps, and the national plan for open science to which the different institutional open science policies are aligned. No other open science-related documents were found for the universities in Brasil and Peru. However, it is evident there is an interest in the subject since there are activities about this issue carried out in the different research centers. Furthermore, in both cases, there are notably already several policies related to open data and open access. Rezende & Abadal (2020), Oliveira, Ribeiro & de Oliveira Santos (2021), Babini & Rovelli (2020) have done extensive work on the regulatory frameworks, open access, and open data policies analysis in the Brazilian case, while Babini & Rovelli (2020) examine policies related to open access and open research data in the Peruvian case. The absence of policies in the South American cases may indicate that even though the subject of open science is extensively discussed, it is still not materialized in action. Finally, further research would be needed to discover the nuances in the open science policies in the different institutions, countries and regions and their evolution over time.
