subject: Restitución de tierras

description: Este trabajo explora los discursos noticiosos producidos por los diarios El Espectador, El Nuevo Siglo y El Tiempo acerca de presuntos homicidios de reclamantes de tierras, registrados entre 2012 y 2017. El asunto es importante porque implica la eventual revictimización violenta de quienes deberían ser protegidos por el marco legal, de modo preferente. A través del análisis crítico del discurso, pretenden desentrañarse las ideologías dominantes que los diarios citados reproducen en sus discursos noticiosos sobre presuntos homicidios de reclamantes de tierras. A su vez, las ideologías dominantes permiten dar cuenta de la representación de los reclamantes de tierras presuntamente revictimizados. Al final los sentidos de producción ideológica de los textos exponen que: las autoridades se enfrentan a enemigos poderosos de la restitución de tierras difíciles de identificar; es normal que las víctimas sigan siendo objeto de violencia y la ineficacia de las autoridades esclareciendo las situaciones; los medios de comunicación contribuyen a la desconfianza de las víctimas porque poco aclaran sobre cada hecho, lo que socava el efecto reparador del discurso y expone la poca visibilidad de estas.
description: This document explores the news produced by the newspapers El Espectador, El Nuevo Siglo and El Tiempo about presumptive homicides of those who claim the restitutions of lands, registered between 2012 and 2017. This issue implies the possibility of a new violent victimization of who should be protected by the law in a preferential way. Using critica! discourse analysis this document aIms to unravel the dominant ideologies that these newspapers reproduce through their news related with presumptive homicides of people who claim the restitution of lands. At the same time, dominant ideologies allow to notice the representation of claimants of lands who have been apparently victimized again. In the end the ideological productions of texts show: authorities face powerful and unidentified enemies of restitution of lands; the normality about recurrent violence against that victims and ineffectiveness of authorities solving those situations; media contribute to distrust of victims because they don't clarify enough about each fact, which undermines the healing effect of discourse and exposes the little visibility given to victims.
Improving practical instruction in veterinary gross anatomy with multimedia based preparation

description: This paper describes and discusses work towards the improvement of the teaching and learning of the regional anatomy of the dog in veterinary science classes. The study of this topic in many veterinary schools entails repeated use of preserved dog cadavers. While the use of preserved specimens is a conventional and widely adopted approach in the study of anatomy in many veterinary schools, it is a practice that has several inherent problems. These problems are related to the repeated use and storage of preserved tissue, and the artificial appearance and texture of such specimens. The work reported here sought to address these concerns with an approach to the teaching and learning of this topic with multimedia-based preparation materials and the use of non-preserved specimens for dissection. An evaluation of this effort was conducted with the help of a print-based questionnaire. Students reported that the use of fresh tissues encouraged them to learn anatomical details, and that the multimedia-based preparation materials were helpful in getting a clearer idea of what was to follow in the dissection sessions and in the surgical processes
Le prigioni fantasma della guerra del Vietnam. Note sul mito americano dei prigionieri di guerra
Creators: name: Rosso, Stefano
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: In the early 1990s about 70 percent of Americans believed that some 2,000 US Army soldiers were still being held captive in secret prisons in Vietnam, despite there being no proof that any prison camps had survived in South East Asia after the Fall of Saigon (1975). Elaborating on the limited bibliography available, this essay examines the strategies adopted by the Nixon Administration, some independent organizations, and the future Presidential candidate Ross Perot, to shift the focus from the people actually fighting and dying in the Vietnam War to these imaginary prisoners. These strategies involved politicians of both major parties, celebrities from the star system and the media. It will also be seen how a substantial part of American popular culture helped to disseminate the myth of the Prisoners of War (POWs) and the Missings in Action (MIAs) through fiction, cinema, TV and comics (and later video games). Only the great works of literature generated by the Vietnam War (e.g. by Tim O’Brien and Michael Herr) abstained from taking part in this major falsification plot.

Y así poder lograr un impacto trascendental para seguir fortaleciendo la identidad cultural del pueblo Misak. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, este proyecto de investigación busca proponer un dialogo y un análisis de la experiencia adelantada desde el proceso comunicación propia del pueblo Misak con el fin de ponerlo en dialogo con algunas teorías de la comunicación occidental, pero sobre todo para que sirva de base para el desarrollo de nuevos procesos de fortalecimiento a la identidad desde la radio comunitaria y así resaltar la importancia de seguir hablando, escribiendo y visibilizando procesos propios desde espacios académicos. Así mismo, sus resultados permitieron el análisis, y el debate sobre como la memoria histórica es una herramienta fundamental para el fortalecimiento de procesos identitarios, en este caso a partir de la experiencia y el liderazgo de la mujer a través de la radio.
description: This research reveals a part of the consolidation process of community radio carried out in the Misak territory between 2010 and 2011, towards the revitalization of historical memory based on the interest in highlighting the voice of the community, the participation of children, the youth, the elderly and the elderly, thereby creating a training school. And thus be able to achieve a transcendental impact to continue strengthening the cultural identity of the Misak people. Taking into account the above, this research project seeks to propose a dialogue and an analysis of the experience advanced from the communication process of the Misak people in order to put it in dialogue with some theories of Western communication, but above all to serve as a basis for the development of new processes to strengthen identity from community radio and thus highlight the importance of continuing to speak, write and make visible own processes from academic spaces. Likewise, its results allowed the analysis, and the debate on how historical memory is a fundamental tool for the strengthening of identity processes, in this case based on the experience and leadership of women through the radio.
Molecular evolutionary conservation of the Drosophila alpha-amylase gene and its regulatory systems.
Creators: name: Yoshida, Erin N.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Alpha-amylase is a digestive enzyme involved in the metabolism of starch. It is found in a wide variety of organisms, and its expression is often regulated by carbon source. The D. melanogaster $\alpha$-amylase gene was used here to show the evolutionary conservation of both a structural gene as well as its glucose repression regulatory system. The repression machinery was shown to be functionally conserved between yeast and flies, as the $\alpha$-amylase promoter was used to express luciferase-based reporter constructs in a glucose repressible manner in Saccharomyces. The repression motifs of the $\alpha$-amylase promoter were mapped to a 126 bp fragment which contains two putative binding sites for MIG1, the yeast transcription factor involved in glucose repression. Further 5$\sp\prime$ deletions or removal of the 3$\sp\prime$ MIG 1 binding site eliminated glucose repression. Additional evidence for conservation of this machinery was provided by the cloning of Drosophila genomic and cDNA copies for SNF4, a subunit of the yeast derepression complex. This genes codes for a 684 aa protein which features extended carboxy and amino terminal sequences relative to the known yeast and mammalian homologues. Southern analysis suggested the presence of two gene copies in Drosophila, which would agree with the multiple cDNA isoforms seen in mammals. Inferred phylogenies indicated that the short isoform seen in yeasts and most mammalian sequences group separately from the long isoforms seen in Drosophila, C. elegans and a second human sequence--indicating the possible organization of orthologous gene copies. Aside from low level similarity to a handful of IMP dehydrogenases and IMPDH-like proteins, SNF4 is not significantly similar to other known proteins. Last, the evolution of the $\alpha$-amylase gene itself was examined with regards to nucleotide and amino acid biases. Nucleotide bias was observed at all three codon positions, primarily as a pyrimidine preference in the coding strand. Due to a nucleotide bias at nonsynonymous sites, there were significant content differences in GC-rich and AT-rich amino acids depending on the GC content of the gene. Although an amino acid bias might be expected to affect phylogenetic determination, with $\alpha$-amylase this bias was shown to not have a strong influence on inferred gene trees.

description: Dentro de los temas obligados de estudio en el marco de la contratación estatal se encuentra el de cuáles son los tipos de contratos que celebra la Administración pública, tendiendo, infortunadamente, al encasillamiento de los bienes y servicios que esta requiere para el logro de sus objetivos en estructuras tradicionales específicas, dada la descripción normativa de ciertos objetos que son los que más comúnmente adquieren las entidades estatales, por considerarse relevantes para el derecho a partir de su trascendencia y, sobre todo, tradición histórica. No obstante, la complejidad de los objetivos que en la actualidad se fijan las diferentes entidades estatales en el marco del Estado genera una serie de necesidades igualmente exigentes y con multiplicidad de componentes que a su vez demandan la modelación de vehículos jurídicos compuestos, lo que obliga indefectiblemente a abandonar las concepciones clásicas de los contratos para estructurar figuras a la medida de las transacciones económicas que requiere celebrar la Administración con miras a la obtención exitosa de los bienes, obras y servicios que necesita.
Exclusion by due process: Martin v. Law Society of British Columbia. A Cold War eclipse of civil liberties.
Creators: name: Disbrow, Jamie.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: History, Canadian.

description: The thesis analyzes W. J. Gordon Martin's exclusion from the practice of law by the Benchers of the Law Society of British Columbia in 1948, and the protest raised in response to this action. A conservative legal elite, closely aligned with the provincial state, rejected Martin as unfit due to his Marxian-socialist beliefs and his association with the Communist Labor-Progressive Party. Cold War fears and hostility and a larger conservative campaign against socialism and labour radicalism fuelled the Benchers' actions. Left-wing political and labour groups, students, journalists and civil libertarians protested the Benchers' decision, their conservative elitism, and the legislated discretionary powers which allowed a technically qualified candidate to be rejected for political/ideological reasons. This case occurred during the formative period of the Canadian civil liberties movement, and the protest reflected increased public concern for the fundamental freedoms of the individual. The protest composition, organization, focus, and ultimately its demise, demonstrated the juvenile status of the civil liberties movement. The legal establishment granted Martin "due process," his day in a court where he had no chance of a victory. Civil libertarians chose to grant the procedure and its outcome as conclusive in a period when few safeguards for freedoms existed outside of public vigilance and protest. In the Martin case, the process undermined the principles of civil liberties.
Increasing student interaction in learning activities: using a simulation to learn about project failure and escalation
Creators: name: Nulden, Urban
name: Scheepers, Helana
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paper describes a system development simulation in which failure and escalation are introduced to Information System students. The simulation forms part of a learning methodology that guides the students through the failure and escalating experience and learning from that experience. The learning methodology described and further developed in this paper is the eclectic combination of various aspects of Problem based learning, Interactive multimedia, Experiential learning and Role playing. The learning methodology is called PIER (an acronym for Problem based learning, Interactive learning, Experiential learning and Role play). The methodology places emphasis on genuine interaction and uses interactive multimedia simulation to support group discussions and interaction. Different events are used to simulate real life occurrences that will lead to escalation and ultimately to failure. The paper discusses results of questionnaires and observation from a practical experience of using the methodology and simulation in teaching escalation and failure. We end the paper with the conclusion that the interactive learning approach presented in this paper has potential in rejuvenating parts of information systems education.

The determination of a constitutive equation for polystyrene bead foam.
Creators: name: Meunier, François C.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Polystyrene Bead (PSB) foam is often used as an energy dissipator to reduce the likelihood of serious injury to motor vehicle passengers during accidents. The purpose of this study was to investigate and model the behaviour of PSB foam subjected to quasi-static and dynamic deformation. A wide range of tests was conducted. By factoring into separate functions the effects of thickness, density, strain, and initial and instantaneous strain rate, the response of the foam can be simulated. The resulting constitutive equation can be used to accurately describe both the quasi-static and the dynamic deformation responses. The validity of the model is demonstrated with experimental data. The behaviour of PSB foam is briefly discussed in relation to the biomechanics of head injury.

description: The filtered Gibbs sampler (FGS) is a very simple yet efficient method of performance evaluation for a class of communication networks. This paper confirms that the FGS is considerably more efficient than the standard Gibbs sampler. It also shows that estimates of the accuracy of the results can be excessively optimistic, and presents a more conservative estimate.
Terrorism, securitization of the nation and refugee flows: Implications of policies and practices in a post-911 era

description: This Master's thesis examines the impact of the events of 9/11 on the discourses and practices that attempt to regulate the flow of refugee populations in Canada. Discourse analytical techniques are used to analyse a corpus of official documents that have contributed to the reframing of the status of refugees. The thesis provides an overview of the development of refugee policy in Canada and explores the world context for contemporary refugee flows. It draws on the securitization paradigm to track the discursive processes that have served to establish links between terrorism, national security and refugees in Canadian governmental discourses and its related practices. The thesis also draws attention to Canada's national and international commitments to protect human rights, and the challenges Canada has faced in maintaining a balance between its humanitarian tradition and its new pre-emptive security approach. It is argued that the new War on Terror, has, as a consequence, targeted innocent and vulnerable populations such as refugees, in this way eroding their rights.

Using the concept of environmental press to examine the built environment and physical activity among older adults living in long-term care homes
Creators: name: Morgan, Katherine
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Epidemiology.

description: Objective. To apply the concept of environmental press to study the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among older adults living in long-term care (LTC) homes. Methods. This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire to assess physical activity among 78 seniors living in seven LTC homes. Secondary data analysis of existing environmental scans divided the homes into two levels of environmental press. Type and duration of physical activity were compared between seniors living in homes with appropriate and inappropriately high levels of environmental press. Results. Seniors' total amount of physical activity did not differ between the two groups of homes. Seniors living in homes with appropriate environmental press were more likely to receive physiotherapy and less likely to stretch alone than those living in homes with inappropriately high environmental press. Conclusions. Environmental press did not significantly influence seniors' total participation in physical activity. Validated environmental assessments tailored to LTC settings are needed.

description: Over the past several years, there has been such an enormous increase in the demand for translation services that translators have been struggling to keep up with it. This situation makes the use of computer translation tools ever more attractive. But once these programs have been installed, how can translators decide which one to use? Or whether it is worth the trouble of using them at all? The objective of this thesis is to answer these questions by proposing and testing an approach to predict which translation method---machine translation, translation memories or human translation---will be the best for a given text type. In this case "best" means the method that allows a translator to produce a "client-ready" translation as quickly as possible. After a review of the characteristics that, according to various authors, determine that a text is more suitable for a particular translation method, three different text types were analyzed and translated (from English to French) using the three methods listed above in order to establish the correlations between the characteristics of the texts and the method that gave the best results for each text. This data was used to develop a checklist of guidelines and to assign values to their various elements (e.g., the optimal number of words per sentence, the maximum number of sentences in the passive voice). Two pilot tests were then performed to verify the validity of two sets of values for predicting the best method on two new text types. After these texts were translated and the predictions verified, the values were adjusted and a final test was performed. The results of the final test support the conclusion that the approach proposed in this thesis can indeed help text allocators and translators choose the best method to use.

description: The recognition and extraction of data-driven patterns is a challenging task. In vast amounts of data, suitable techniques should prepare data that match the user's intentions. For example, ``an increasing daily price of a stock, is generally followed by a sudden fall due to the endorsed profit gains''. Such a statement should effortlessly be transferred as input to a data mining task, without the need for an extensive training phase building an extremely complicated model and the usage of threshold-based approaches. We propose a method for extracting lexical representations directly from the raw data, enabling others not directly compatible with real-valued data. We provide evidence that our method is fast and accurate. We use as evaluation a preliminary step for a classification task compared to state-of-the-art classifiers applying it on a publicly available dataset.

description: The discovery of a transient kilonova following the gravitational-wave (GW) event GW170817 highlighted the critical need for coordinated rapid and wide-field observations, inference, and follow-up across the electromagnetic spectrum. In the southern hemisphere, the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Blanco 4 m telescope is well suited to this task, as it is able to cover wide fields quickly while still achieving the depths required to find kilonovae like the one accompanying GW170817 to similar to 500 Mpc, the binary neutron star (NS) horizon distance for current generation of LIGO/Virgo collaboration (LVC) interferometers. Here, as part of the multi-facility followup by the Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen collaboration, we describe the observations and automated data movement, data reduction, candidate discovery, and vetting pipeline of our target-of-opportunity DECam observations of S190426c, the first possible NS-black hole merger detected in GWs. Starting 7.5 hr after S190426c, over 11.28 hr of observations, we imaged an area of 525 deg(2) (r band) and 437 deg(2) (z band); this was 16.3% of the total original localization probability, and nearly all of the probability visible from the southern hemisphere. The machine-learning-based pipeline was optimized for fast turnaround, delivering transients for human vetting within 17 minutes, on average, of shutter closure. We reported nine promising counterpart candidates 2.5 hr before the end of our observations. One hour after our data-taking ended (roughly 20 hr after the announcement of S190426c), LVC released a refined skymap that reduced the probability coverage of our observations to 8.0%, demonstrating a critical need for localization updates on shorter (similar to hour) timescales. Our observations yielded no detection of a bona fide counterpart to m(z) = 21.7 and m(r) = 22.2 at the 5 sigma level of significance, consistent with the refined LVC positioning. We view these observations and rapid inferencing as an important real-world test for this novel end-to-end wide-field pipeline.

Sobre este punto de la revocación de los actos administrativos, es relevante señalar que el acto administrativo a que se refiere la parte final del inciso segundo del artículo 73 del Código Contencioso administrativo, es al acto ilícito, en el cual la expresión de voluntad del Estado nace viciada bien por violencia, por error o por dolo, no al acto inconstitucional e ilegal de que trata el artículo 69 del CCA, que habiéndose formado sin vicios en la manifestación de voluntad de la administración, pugna contra la Constitución o la ley. La formación del acto administrativo por medios ilícitos no puede obligar al Estado, por ello, la revocación se entiende referida a esa voluntad, pues ningún acto de una persona natural o jurídica ni del Estado, por supuesto, que haya ocurrido de manera ilícita podría considerarse como factor de responsabilidad para su acatamiento.

description: In this thesis I aim to build a normative argument for equality of access to advantage at the global level, and motivate action conducive to the realization of this ideal. The normative argument is presented over the course of the first two chapters. In Chapter One I ask, ‘How should we conceive of distributive equality?’ Following G.A. Cohen, I argue that equality is best conceived as equality of access to advantage. I interpret this to require equal access to both ‘worldly autonomy’—a term I invoke to describe a certain basic threshold level of autonomy—and subjective preference satisfaction. In Chapter Two, I establish a justificatory basis for equality on a global scale. I argue that equality is justified at the global level on the basis of justice as reciprocity for the mutual provision of the global system of state-enforced borders, in which the participation of all people is equally necessary, and that makes possible a wide variety of institutional goods predominately enjoyed by people in rich developed countries. In Chapter Three, I take up the second aim of the thesis: to motivate action conducive to the realization of this global distributive ideal. I engage the concern that global equality is a poor ideal, demanding too much change in the attitudes and lifestyles of the well-off to motivate them to pursue it. I aim to show that, even if most people are not motivated to pursue global equality, there are alternative grounds for immediately feasible global reforms and redistributions likely to have greater motivational purchase on people’s sensibilities. Alternative grounds for redistribution and reform include reparative justice, cooperative justice, respect for basic human rights, and self-interest. Making these redistributions and reforms would not only be desirable from the perspective of the alternative grounds that explain them, but will have the further happy result of bringing the world closer to the global distributive ideal of equality of access to advantage. Plausibly, it will bring the world sufficiently close to this ideal that people will be motivated to pursue it for its own sake.
'No easy fix': The Supervised Injection Site Debate in Canada

description: Supervised injection sites (SISs) have become subject to much political and social controversy in Canada since the late 1990s. Since the implementation of North America’s first SIS, Insite, in 2003 in Vancouver, the controversy has reached new levels. Despite the increasing evidence base available regarding the effectiveness of SISs as a harm reduction strategy trans-nationally, the implementation of this intervention in Canada prevails within public and parliamentary debates. Guided by the theoretical contributions of Joel Best (2008) on claims-making and the construction of social problems, this thesis explores the SIS debate in Canada and the assertions advanced with respect to the implementation of SISs. Building on the available literature, the author identifies numerous types of claims advanced by proponents and opponents of SISs through a qualitative content analysis of 164 newspaper documents from The Vancouver Sun, The Ottawa Sun and The Ottawa Citizen. It was determined that claimsmakers often present the intervention as a solution to the ‘drug problem’ or part in parcel of the problem. Opponents in particular attempt to construct the intervention as harmful for the community in that the implementation of a SIS would exacerbate various aspects of the ‘drug problem’ including drug abuse and crime. Very rarely, however, claimsmakers suggest the SIS is merely one strategy to addressing public health issues related to injection drug use and that there is ‘no easy fix’ to this ‘drug problem’. Further, the author applies the findings from this analysis to make sense of the Canadian federal government’s proposed policy response, The Respect for Communities Act, towards the establishment of SISs.

description: Dans un contexte de professionnalisation des enseignants, cette recherche examine le processus de construction de la compétence multiculturelle des étudiants-maitres1 en milieu de stage professionnel, en répondant à la question principale suivante: Comment des étudiants-maîtres perçoivent-ils le processus de construction de la compétence multiculturelle en milieu de stage professionnel? À l'instar de Toussaint et Fortier (2001), nous pensons que la compétence multiculturelle devrait occuper une place distincte parmi les autres compétences de l'enseignant. Le cadre de référence de cette étude repose sur une définition opérationnelle de la compétence multiculturelle de l'enseignant adaptée selon Banks (1989) et sur le modèle de compétence professionnelle propose par Le Boterf (2002, 2004). Étude de cas multiples (Yin, 2003) située d'emblée dans une perspective interprétative, la méthodologie observée a utilisé des données de nature qualitative, recueillies auprès de neuf étudiants-maîtres dans une université ontarienne. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées à plusieurs moments du parcours de formation des participants, soit avant le premier stage en milieu professionnel, après le deuxième ainsi que pendant les deux stages. Présentés sous la forme de portraits individuels, les résultats traitent des parcours de formation professionnalisante de chacun des participants à la recherche, en identifiant les apprentissages perçus et les facteurs qui semblent les avoir influencés. Les caractéristiques personnelles des participants et leurs représentations de l'éducation multiculturelle et du rôle de l'enseignant occupent une place importante dans la description. L'interprétation des résultats a permis de: (1) inscrire l'éducation multiculturelle dans une approche pédagogique différenciée; (2) proposer une définition de la compétence multiculturelle de l'enseignant; (3) préciser son statut parmi les autres compétences de l'enseignant; (4) décrire et analyser le processus de construction de la compétence multiculturelle tel que perçu par les participants et (5) faire émerger un modèle de formation professionnalisante des futurs enseignants, ancré dans le modèle de l'apprentissage expérientiel (Kolb, 1984). 1Le masculin est utilisé dans ce texte à valeur générique, afin d'alléger la lecture.

A fuzzy logic approach for chatter detection and suppression in end milling

description: In metal cutting processes, excessive vibration or chatter has an adverse effect on productivity and product surface quality. Various studies have been reported in the literature over the past few decades. However, the real application of the outcome of these studies has been very limited. A new system has been developed in this study for chatter detection and chatter suppression. The coherence function values of the frequency spectra from two accelerometers in orthogonal directions were used as a chatter indicator. The vibration energy was used to offset the over-vigilance behaviour of the coherence function. A fuzzy logic control approach was used for chatter suppression based on both the coherence function value and vibration energy level. To improve the adaptability of the fuzzy controller, a self-learning algorithm has also been developed for on-line updating the fuzzy rule base. A direct output tuning method was also proposed to improve the responsiveness of the system. The proposed system has been tested using both steel and aluminium workpieces with and without thin-walls. The experimental results show that the proposed system worked reasonably well for on-line chatter detection and suppression. The thesis also explored the possibility of using the coherence function for chatter prediction. The verification of its feasibility may be carried out in the future.
