The withdrawal of assisted nutrition and hydration and the canonical offence of homicide.
Creators: name: Doherty, John.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Theology.

description: The task we have set ourselves is the investigation of the canonical repercussions of a controversial procedure, namely, the removal of artificially assisted feeding and hydration from an unconscious patient resulting in the patient's death. Life-support systems, including assisted feeding and hydration, are able to keep a person alive indefinitely, and the moment of death is often a matter of someone's decision and action. While the problem is not entirely new, there has been little canonical reflection on its implications. The Church's teaching on the sanctity of life is reflected in canon law, and the Code of Canon Law provides penalties and other canonical effects for homicide and abortion. There has been considerable interest in the crime of abortion, but little attention has been given to the crime of homicide, in spite of the fact that medical personnel frequently take steps to end life. This issue of the removal of artificially assisted feeding and hydration from an unconscious patient has been intensely debated by moral theologians and has been the subject of bishops' statements in many countries, particularly the United States of America. Many of these statements have been about specific cases involving Catholic patients and Catholic hospitals. These cases are significant in the light of the worldwide movement to promote euthanasia, and legislatures in several countries have debated and sometimes passed laws allowing for euthanasia. If there is to be a role for Church law in the protection of life, a review of the doctrine of homicide is opportune. Accordingly, we propose to investigate the canonical crime of homicide in the light of a controversial issue. The question we intend to address is: does the canonical crime of homicide apply to the withdrawal of assisted feeding and hydration? If so, to whom does it apply, and in what circumstances? In Chapter One we will study theological reflection on the issue. In Chapter Two we will survey relevant papal and episcopal teaching regarding the preservation of life and the principles that allow for exceptions to the duty to prolong life. Chapter Three will investigate the canonical crime of homicide. The ambit of our inquiry will be limited to the question of imputability, and we will not take up the related issues of canonical process or penalties unless they help clarify aspects of imputability.

description: Concept mapping is a conceptualization process that can be used by individuals and groups to develop conceptual frameworks which can guide evaluations and planning (Trochim, 1989). In research, these processes display individual and group representations of concepts about particular domains, illustrating potential relationships among them (Miles, 1994). Cognitive mapping processes involve the acquisition, store, access and utilization of spacial knowledge (Golledge, 1986). Empirical research using concept mapping technology has proliferated within the past fifteen years. Investigation of this research has revealed the existence of a wide variation of domains of inquiry and applications of concept mapping. Using non-traditional meta-analytic research techniques employed in prior reviews by Cousins and associates (Cousins, 1996; Cousins & Earl, 1992; Cousins & Leithwood, 1986; Ross, in press) and others (e.g., Leithwood & Montgomery, 1982), the empirical research studies are explored with relevance to evaluation theory and practice. Emphasis on concept mapping process variations and use in evaluation is ordered. This study provides researchers and evaluators with valuable empirical basis from which to make choices regarding selection and applications of concept mapping.

description: Atomoxetine, a neuroactive drug, is approved for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is primarily known as a high affinity blocker of the noradrenaline transporter, whereby its application leads to an increased level of the corresponding neurotransmitter in different brain regions. However, the concentrations used to obtain clinical effects are much higher than those which are required to block the transporter system. Thus, off-target effects are likely to occur. In this way, we previously identified atomoxetine as blocker of NMDA receptors. As many psychotropic drugs give rise to sudden death of cardiac origin, we now tested the hypothesis whether atomoxetine also interacts with voltage-gated sodium channels of heart muscle type in clinically relevant concentrations. Electrophysiological experiments were performed by means of the patch-clamp technique at human heart muscle sodium channels (hNav1.5) heterogeneously expressed in human embryonic kidney cells. Atomoxetine inhibited sodium channels in a state- and use-dependent manner. Atomoxetine had only a weak affinity for the resting state of the hNav1.5 (Kr: ∼ 120 µM). The efficacy of atomoxetine strongly increased with membrane depolarization, indicating that the inactivated state is an important target. A hallmark of this drug was its slow interaction. By use of different experimental settings, we concluded that the interaction occurs with the slow inactivated state as well as by slow kinetics with the fast-inactivated state. Half-maximal effective concentrations (2–3 µM) were well within the concentration range found in plasma of treated patients. Atomoxetine also interacted with the open channel. However, the interaction was not fast enough to accelerate the time constant of fast inactivation. Nevertheless, when using the inactivation-deficient hNav1.5_I408W_L409C_A410W mutant, we found that the persistent late current was blocked half maximal at about 3 µM atomoxetine. The interaction most probably occurred via the local anesthetic binding site. Atomoxetine inhibited sodium channels at a similar concentration as it is used for the treatment of ADHD. Due to its slow interaction and by inhibiting the late current, it potentially exerts antiarrhythmic properties.

description: Sulfur-rich molybdenum sulfides are an emerging class of inorganic coordination polymers that are predominantly utilized for their superior catalytic properties. Here we investigate surface water dependent properties of sulfur-rich MoSx (x = 32/3) and its interaction with water vapor. We report that MoSx is a highly hygroscopic semiconductor, which can reversibly bind up to 0.9 H2O molecule per Mo. The presence of surface water is found to have a profound influence on the semiconductor's properties, modulating the material's photoluminescence by over 1 order of magnitude, in transition from dry to moist ambient. Furthermore, the conductivity of a MoSx-based moisture sensor is modulated in excess of 2 orders of magnitude for 30% increase in humidity. As the core application, we utilize the discovered properties of MoSx to develop an electrolyteless water splitting photocatalyst that relies entirely on the hygroscopic nature of MoSx as the water source. The catalyst is formulated as an ink that can be coated onto insulating substrates, such as glass, leading to efficient hydrogen and oxygen evolution from water vapor. The concept has the potential to be widely adopted for future solar fuel production.

description: Since its first description in South Africa in November 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant rapidly outcompeted the previously dominating Delta variant. Omicron is the fifth variant of concern (VOC). It contains an unusually high number of mutations compared to previous VOCs, especially in the viral Spike protein, and shows high transmissibility and efficient escape of neutralizing antibodies. Due to these characteristics, it received this designation much faster than the four previous VOCs Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. However, the original BA.1 Omicron variant seems to be less pathogenic than early SARS-CoV-2 strains and other VOCs. While SARS-CoV-2 primarily infects the respiratory tract, Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a multi-organ disease, and patients show infection and disorders in the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and neurological systems. Thus, the ability of the various SARS-CoV-2 variants to infect and propagate in different cell types and organs clearly plays a key role in viral pathogenicity. Especially, cardiomyocytes express high levels of the primary SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 and are highly permissive for viral replication.

description: Dyskinesias are characterized by abnormal repetitive involuntary movements due to dysfunctional neuronal activity. Although levodopa-induced dyskinesia, characterized by tic-like abnormal involuntary movements, has no clinical treatment for Parkinson’s disease patients, animal studies indicate that Riluzole, which interferes with glutamatergic neurotransmission, can improve the phenotype. The rat model of Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia is a unilateral lesion with 6-hydroxydopamine in the medial forebrain bundle, followed by the repeated administration of levodopa. The molecular pathomechanism of Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia is still not deciphered; however, the implication of epigenetic mechanisms was suggested. In this study, we investigated the striatum for DNA methylation alterations under chronic levodopa treatment with or without co-treatment with Riluzole. Our data show that the lesioned and contralateral striata have nearly identical DNA methylation profiles. Chronic levodopa and levodopa + Riluzole treatments led to DNA methylation loss, particularly outside of promoters, in gene bodies and CpG poor regions. We observed that several genes involved in the Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia underwent methylation changes. Furthermore, the Riluzole co-treatment, which improved the phenotype, pinpointed specific methylation targets, with a more than 20% methylation difference relative to levodopa treatment alone. These findings indicate potential new druggable targets for Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia.

description: We report on the fabrication and characterization of void-based body-centered-cubic (bcc) photonic crystals in a solidified transparent polymer by the use of a femtosecond laser-driven microexplosion method. The change in the refractive index in the region surrounding the void dots that form the bcc structures is verified by presenting confocal microscope images, and the bandgap properties are characterized by using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The effect of the angle of incidence on the photonic bandgaps is also studied. We observe multiple stop gaps with a suppression rate of the main gap of 47% for a bcc structure with a lattice constant of 2.77 μm, where the first and second stop gaps are located at 3.7 μm and 2.2 μm, respectively. We also present a theoretical approach to characterize the refractive index of the material for calculating the bandgap spectra, and confirm that the wavelengths of the observed bandgaps are in good correlation with the analytical predictions.

description: Indoor group cycling (IGC) is a popular type of aerobic activity performed on a stationary bike, combining both mental and physical aspects of training through the use of imagery (Johnny G. Spinning Instructor Manual, 1999). Thompson, Durand-Bush, & O'Sullivan, (2003) investigated the different types of imagery cues provided by instructors and their effects on the overall IGC experience. However, the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of imagery cues provided by IGC instructors, as perceived by class participants. The sample included four certified IGC instructors and 15 class participants. The instructors were videotaped while teaching their IGC class, after which class participants completed a questionnaire, took part in a stimulated recall session (Calderhead, 1981), and participated in a semi-structured interview to assess the effectiveness of the imagery cues provided by the instructors. Nine categories and three sub-categories of cues were provided in varying frequencies by the instructors however, the class participants found only certain types to be effective. They preferred simple cues that were given following a logical progression and were synchronized with the music. Several practical implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: L'objectif de ce travail est de dégager les motifs et les enjeux de la critique platonicienne des sophistes dans l'Hippias majeur et l'Euthydème. On y montre d'abord que le motif de la critique platonicienne réside dans son opposition à la conception élémentaire et matérielle de l'unité que défend Hippias dans le dialogue éponyme, en regard de laquelle le concept d'"unité formelle" est avancé. Cette opposition ontologique sur le rapport de l'un au multiple est complexifiée par les objections epistémologiques des sophistes de l' Euthydème qui révèlent les antinomies indépassables auxquelles se bute le discours. Pour sortir de cette impasse epistémologique, on resitue l'opposition de Socrate aux sophistes sur le plan éthique et on dévoile son enjeu. En niant l'"unité formelle", la doctrine sophistique s'interdit la possibilité d'un savoir unifié sur le beau et, par conséquent, ne peut remplir sa promesse éthique de pouvoir enseigner l'excellence humaine.

description: Volumetric scattering prevents imaging modalities in biomedical optics from imaging deep inside tissue. The optimization of the incident wavefront has the potential to improve these imaging modalities. To investigate the optimization and light propagation of such beams inside scattering media rigorously, full-vectorial simulations based on solutions of Maxwell’s equations are necessary. In this publication, we present a versatile two-step beam synthesis method to efficiently simulate the scanning and phase optimization of a focused beam inside a static scattering medium. We present four different approaches to the phase optimization of the energy density and the absolute value of the Poynting vector. We find that these quantities have two regions with different, almost exponential decays over depth for a non-optimized beam. Optimization by conjugating the phase of the projected electric field in various directions at the focus shows an improvement below a certain penetration depth. Seeking global solutions to the optimization problems reveals an even better enhancement in the energy density and the absolute value of the Poynting vector in the focus. For Poynting vector optimization, the differences between the presented optimization approaches are more significant than for the energy density. With the presented method, it is possible to efficiently simulate different imaging methods improved by wavefront shaping to investigate their possible penetration depths.
Assessment of controller performance with embedded data reconciliation
Creators: name: Bai, Shuanghua
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Process measurements contain some degree of error that can be random or systematic. Random measurement noise is usually of high frequency, and results in high-frequency oscillations of manipulated variables that deteriorate the performance of the control system. Data reconciliation is a procedure that makes use of process models along with process measurements to give more precise and consistent estimates of process variables. Data reconciliation has been traditionally used to provide a more representative set of data to calculate steady-state inventories and process yields. For dynamic systems, the use of data reconciliation is relatively nascent. This work examined the potential use of data reconciliation in closed-loop control as a filter to attenuate the noise in measurements of the controlled variables so that the controllers can act on less variable, more accurate inputs. Data reconciliation filters were implemented in simulations of a PID control system for a binary distillation column. The presence of measurement noise usually results in detuned controllers in order to prevent excessive high-frequency variations of manipulated variables. In this work, a Dynamic Data Reconciliation (DDR) algorithm, embedded within the structure of feedback control loops, was developed to reconcile noisy measurements. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Rat alveolar macrophages express specific binding sites for C-terminal fragments of histone H4. The present study was aimed at identifying and characterizing the receptor for the C-terminal fragment 86 to 100 of histone H4, an antinociceptive peptide structurally similar to histogranin. The inhibitory effect of GTP analogs (GTP-gamma-S and Gpp(NH)p) and pertussis toxin on membrane preparations and the finding that H4-(86--100) potently (10--8 M) inhibited forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels in cultured alveolar macrophages suggest the involvement of a GiPCR. Gel electrophoresis of cross-linked bound radiolabelled ligand revealed two binding proteins, 30 kDa and 54 kDa, whose detection was increased by stimulation of macrophages with interferon gamma (IFNgamma). Affinity chromatography and SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis revealed a major protein band identified as beta-actin trypsin digests. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: The consequence of childhood trauma may last for a long time. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of childhood trauma on general distress among Chinese adolescents and explore the potential mediating roles of social support and family functioning in the childhood trauma-general distress linkage. A total of 2139 valid questionnaires were collected from two high schools in southeast China. Participants were asked to complete the questionnaires measuring childhood trauma, social support, family functioning, and general distress. Pathway analysis was conducted by using SPSS AMOS 24.0 and PROCESS Macro for SPSS 3.5. Results showed that childhood trauma was positively associated with general distress among Chinese adolescents. Social support and family functioning independently and serially mediated the linkage of childhood trauma and general distress. These findings confirmed and complemented the ecological system theory of human development and the multisystem developmental framework for resilience. Furthermore, these findings indicated that the mental and emotional problems of adolescents who had childhood trauma were not merely issues of adolescents themselves, but concerns of the whole system and environment.
Surface plasmon-polaritons in thin metal strips and slabs: Waveguiding and mode cutoff
Creators: name: Breukelaar, Ian G
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Using a fully vectorial formulation, the normal mode analysis method is used to model for what is believed to be the first time, the radiative spreading of surface plasmon-polariton modes input into regions where the bound surface mode is cutoff, or radiative. The analysis was performed at lambda = 1.55mum for embedded infinite-width slabs and finite-width strip metal waveguides where the metal was Au and the surrounding dielectrics were SiO 2 and LiNbO3. Mode cutoff is induced by an asymmetry between the index of refraction of the top clad and the bottom clad. Comparisons between predictions and experimental results for cutoff finite-width waveguides show very good agreement. The analysis was performed for a range of waveguide dimensions and results show that a dynamic range of better than 20dB is possible for an appropriate waveguide and dielectric asymmetry. Practical applications are outlined to make use of this cutoff effect.

Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: The Lower Cretaceous (Albian) Glauconitic Sandstone is the lowermost stratigraphic unit of the Upper Mannville interval in southern Alberta. It overlies calcareous and fossiliferous strata of the Ostracode Limestone and is unconformably overlain by feldspathic and lithic-rich fluvial sandstone of the undifferentiated Upper Mannville. In the study area, Glauconitic Sandstone strata comprise three facies associations consisting of prograding shoreface to shallow shelf (FA1I), upper estuary channel fill (FA2) and tidally-influenced abandoned channel fill/interchannel (FA3) deposits. The Jenner Upper Mannville E Pool is a 10 km long by 2 km wide north-south trending conventional oil pool located in Townships 19--20, Range 9W4 in southeastern Alberta. Since its discovery in 1963, the pool has produced 7.3 million barrels of 21.1° API oil and 6.7 billion cubic feet of gas from the Glauconitic Sandstone. The original oil in place is 28.6 mmbbl and estimated remaining reserves are of the order of 700 mbbl.

The JKT observing schedule was optimized using a prioritizing algorithm to automatically update the target list. For most of these events we have sampled the light curves at times where no information was available from the OGLE alert team. We assume a point-source point-lens (PSPL) model and perform a maximum likelihood fit to both our data and the OGLE data to constrain the event parameters of the fit. We then refit the data assuming a binary lens and proceed to calculate the probability of detecting planets with mass ratio q = 10-3. We have seen no clear signatures of planetary deviations on any of the eight events and we quantify constraints on the presence of planetary companions to the lensing stars. For two well-observed events, 2000BUL31 and 2000BUL33, our detection probabilities peak at ~30 and ~20 per cent respectively for q = 10-3 and ~RE for a Δx2 threshold value of 60.

description: There is growing acknowledgement that the material dimensions of water security alone are inadequate; we also need to engage with a broader set of hydrosocial relationships. Indeed, more holistic approaches are needed to explain Indigenous peoples’ relationships to water including the use of traditional water sources such as mountain creeks and springs. In this paper, we seek to reimagine water security through a case study of Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in’s relationships to both treated and traditional water sources throughout the First Nation’s traditional territory in Yukon, Canada. Through community-based research including interviews with Elders and other community members, we examine the importance of traditional water sources for meeting important health requirements including physical, spiritual and cultural wellbeing. This intervention contributes to ongoing debates about what it means to secure safe and affordable water in three key ways: First, we argue that Indigenous water relations invite a shift towards more a holistic understanding of water security; second, we contend that settler colonial politics should be understood as a root cause of water insecurity; finally, we explore how Two-Eyed Seeing can be applied as an alternative to the ‘integration’ of Western scientific and Indigenous approaches to drinking water.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: With the increased adoption of web-based technologies, it is important to understand the associated risks with using these systems. In an effort to make web-based systems more secure, the organizations managing those applications are increasingly relying on the expertise of external testing teams to evaluate their systems. In this thesis, we propose a third-party security evaluation methodology for testing web-based systems which we were able to utilize in an actual security evaluation. This methodology was used to perform a third-party evaluation of a production web-based system. The results of the evaluation, problems encountered, and possible mitigation solutions for the system evaluated are also discussed.

description: The Better Outcomes in Mental Health Care (BOMHC) initiative encourages general practitioners to use electronic mental health resources (EMHRs) during consultation with patients requiring psychological assistance. However, there is little data on GPs' acceptance and use of EMHRs. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 27 GPs to determine their attitude toward EMHRs, and their use during consultation with patients. Few GPs reported frequently using EMHRs in consultation. Identified barriers to use included lack of familiarity with information technology, and insufficient knowledge of available resources. Identified advantages of electronic resources included high patient acceptance, time efficiency, and improved quality of information. General practitioners recognise several advantages of utilising electronic resources for managing patients with mental illness. However, GPs are not sufficiently familiar with electronic resources to use them effectively. This could be overcome by education.

description: Background: In this paper, we aimed to examine the patterns of sleep disturbance in adjustment disorder (AD) and depressive episode (DE), to examine the variables associated with sleep disturbance in AD and DE and associated impairment in functioning. Methods: This is a multi-centre case-control study of 370 patients: 185 patients with AD and 185 patients with a diagnosis of DE, recruited from the liaison psychiatry services of three Dublin hospitals. We examined the participants’ sleep pathology using the sleep disturbance items on the Schedule for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry, and the Inventory of Depressive Symptoms—Clinician-rated-30. Results: Patients with a diagnosis of AD were less likely to report disturbed sleep than those with a diagnosis of DE (p = 0.002). On multivariate analysis, sleep disturbance was significantly associated with greater severity of certain depressive symptoms: decreased appetite (p < 0.001) and psychomotor agitation (p = 0.009). Decreased appetite, younger age and single marital status were significantly associated with sleep disturbance in male patients, and decreased appetite and psychomotor agitation were significantly associated with sleep disturbance in female participants. Conclusions: This is the largest study to date which has examined sleep disturbance in adjustment disorder. Disturbance of sleep is a significant symptom in AD and may represent a potential target for treatment. With further research, patterns of sleep disturbance may be useful in differentiating AD from DE.
Assessing the impact of regime autonomy on Islamist resurgence.
Creators: name: Mokhtar, Maissa.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: Why has Islamism become the dominant form of opposition in most Muslim countries since the 1970s? Western literature addressing this resurgence typically focuses on domestic socio-economic and political problems while barely acknowledging the role of international factors, e.g., military defeats and political dependence. Yet, the Islamist discourse is found to reverse the priorities: seemingly oblivious to domestic crises, it emphasizes first and foremost the need to achieve autonomy from the hegemonic West so as to restore a sense of dignity. This study goes beyond the established list of plausible--and often complementary--explanations, to evaluate the relative weight of that one actor emphasized by the Islamists themselves, hence its working hypothesis: the higher a regime's political autonomy from the West, the higher its ability to co-opt Islamist forces of opposition. On the basis of responses to questionnaires sent to Middle-East experts world-wide, we assessed the change in the ability of 16 Arab regimes in question to co-opt Islamist forces between 1989/90 and 1991/92. We then classified the regimes in question as either autonomous or non-autonomous from the West, according to their stated policies during the Gulf war/crisis in 1990/91. Comparing the two groups, we failed to discern two clearly distinct patterns of regime ability to co-opt Islamist forces ... unless we drop three countries from our sample. The latter validation of our hypothesis is not only weal but should also be tempered by the collateral finding that the data we obtained on the dependent variable manifested unquestionable symptoms of low reliability.

Gilson's interpretation of Esse in St. Thomas.

description: To Gilson, St. Thomas's is preeminently the doctrine of existence. In fact, by positing esse as first in reality, St. Thomas succeeded where other philosophers failed: that by which anything was really real was unum for Plato, substance for Aristotle, essence for Avicenna. So that the fundamental problems Gilson sets out to solve are: What is it to exist? and How does man know esse? As Gilson sees it, the esse of St. Thomas is ultimate act in relation to every other act, including the form of any thing; thus the essence or substance of a thing is a potency relative to its esse. Hence esse belongs to the level of efficient cause, while essence is formal cause determining or fixing esse at some particular point of being. Within essence, form is supreme as the act of matter; but essence is merely possible until actualized by esse, so that esse is actus omnium actuum and perfectio omnium perfectionum. In short, existence is the heart of reality. This primacy of esse is at once a guarantee that any being is ontologically stable even if contingent, that essence is harmoniously related to esse, and that being is dynamic, always tending by its operations to completion. Such are the main lines of Gilson's metaphysics. As for the problem of knowing esse, Gilson draws upon Thomistic texts to develop a noetics in which man, substantial union of body and spirit, can know by his intellect immediately and spontaneously the very existence of a thing which he perceives by the senses. In some mysterious way the composite structure of beings is matched by simple apprehension (grasping essence or quiddity) and judgment (grasping esse), and this duality in both object and subject is expressed in the noun and verb or language. Esse is itself no quiddity and cannot be concept, but it is intelligible, for in judgment we determine that something is or is not, while in simple apprehension we determine the something which is. Because Thomism takes existents as its object, and posits esse as the core of reality and establishes it first in being, Gilson sums up Thomism in the word "existential." With esse as the keystone of its arch, then, Thomism has singled out the transcendent element making all things real; moreover, by knowing existing things of the concrete material world man is led to deduce Esse Pure and Infinite. Thomistic metaphysics and noetics finds a proper term only in natural theology. In teaching this existentialist view of St. Thomas, Gilson seems to provide a valid and beautiful interpretation, which has met favour from other contemporary Thomists.
Consumption patterns in developing regions: Their impact on family, community and cultural dynamics Case studies from Cusco, Peru

subject: Sociology, Social Structure and Development.

description: Mainstream approaches usually follow standard economic principles which have been developed in order to better understand the behaviour of modern western consumers in a capitalist context. In time, we have come to understand that these same principles are profoundly inadequate in explaining third world consumption and even more inappropriate when attempting to expound its qualitative effects on living standards, family relations, community dynamics and cultural changes in developing regions. To make sense of this problematic, the problem will be outlined in broad terms and the present research's objectives clarified, along with its theoretical inclination, analytical framework and methodology. Then, to better understand the need for such a project, popular discourses on consumption in economics, development, globalization processes and cultural change will be reviewed. Then, a brief explanation as to why Peru was chosen as the site for this project's case studies will be presented, as well as a critique of Peruvian and Andean politico-economics. Finally, research findings and conclusions will be presented and discussed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
