Los Budas y el Lenguaje Corporal: El Tropo Literario de la Sonrisa del Buda
Get PDFEste ensayo explora cómo retrata la literatura budista clásica la sonrisa del Buda. La sonrisa del Buda es un gesto no verbal, y para entender su significado debemos emplear un enfoque teórico que la trate como tal. La multimodalidad puede proporcionar tal enfoque. Un conjunto emergente de investigación psicológica ha argumentado que la sonrisa es un gesto humano universal conectado a un grupo limitado de estados emocionales, pero reconocer que las sonrisas pueden ser actos voluntarios destaca la importancia del contexto situacional. Dado que la sonrisa del Buda nos llega desde un contexto histórico y cultural ajeno a la evidencia que ha informado a la ciencia fisiológica moderna, debemos leer con atención las incongruencias y permitir que la diferencia guíe nuestro pensamiento. El ensayo argumenta que, si bien el tropo de la sonrisa del Buda sigue siendo enigmático y rico en posibles significados, aun así señala su estatus como figura de poder soberano y conocimiento sobrehumano

The Butte
Get PDFThe Butte is a collection of short stories about a small town in the Pacific Northwest. In these short stories I explore idealistic small-town culture and blend it with the Pacific Northwest’s own (modern) paranormal mythology. This medley of different genre aspects in my stories makes The Butte difficult to label, but ultimately, my goal while writing was to explore various styles and points of view.
The nine stories set in The Butte shift styles on a variety of levels from character switching, point of view (1st person, 3rd person, and omniscient), and formatting (structure and linguistics). These tales focus on ordinary people dealing with the extra-ordinary. Each character is either working to find a place in their community or already has an important role in the lives of the people around them. It was important for me to find the people in small towns we take for granted or overlook and give them all a little adventure.
As I continued to write, I fell in love with the community I created. This fascination drew me to explore new characters and ultimately allowed me to imbue the paranormal folklore of the Pacific Northwest into my own personal experience with small town life. I wrote these short stories by blending two parallel cultures I admire, but rarely see converge. The Pacific Northwest has always been labeled a weird but charming place, and these tales are meant to highlight that
Vintage 2020: Rogue Valley Reference Vineyard Report
Get PDFThis report describes the impacts of climate and phenology on vintage for the Rogue Valley in Oregon in 2020. A mild and dry winter in 2019-20 was followed by a dry growing season continuing the ongoing drought concerns for Oregon and the majority of the western US. The spring was relatively cool with mild frosts into early May, then followed by wide swings between early season heat then cool, wet conditions leading up to and during flowering. The result was widespread issues with fruit set leading to generally high amounts of shatter, smaller berries and clusters for many in the region. Heat stress during the summer was moderate, leading into what looked like a decent September weatherwise until the Labor Day extreme wind event, which was followed by catastrophic fires and smoke for days. Growing degree- day totals for 2020 ended up moderately higher than the previous vintage and above the average of the last 15 years. Across sites and varieties in the region the phenological timing averaged April 16th for bud break, June 5th for bloom, August 10th for véraison, and September 22nd for harvest. Growers reported generally low disease pressure, relatively low pest pressure, little to no bird pressure until later in the picking window, and a harvest that presented very good quality fruit at moderate to substantially lower yields due to bloom to fruit set weather conditions
Peer-led Bystander Intervention Training: Best Practices and Application
No full textSexual assault is a reality in college campuses and for college students. Amongst the pressures to succeed academically and find a job, students are also confronted with the possibility that they or someone they know is likely to experience sexual assault. One of the most effective methods to reduce the occurrence of sexual assault is bystander intervention, and as such numerous bystander intervention training systems have been developed. For our research project, we asked the question, “What characteristics of bystander intervention training lead to students gaining comfort and confidence in intervening?” Our investigation included and examination of the characteristics of the training, the environment, the trainee, and the types of interventions. Specifically, we focused on the effect of a peer-led, leadership-based bystander intervention training on a small college campus in terms of increasing knowledge of resources, utilization of resources, and actual behavioral intervention
Athleticism as Predictors of Basketball Performance
Get PDFINTRODUCTION: Rebounds per game are indicative of performance in basketball. Teams gain or maintain possession of the ball through rebounding. The purpose of this study was to identify the contribution of specific components of athleticism to rebound performance.
METHODS: Average rebounds per game was used for performance from most recent competitive seasons. Aspects of athleticism were identified through a combination of seven performance tests: maximum vertical jump, reactive strength index, seated medicine ball chest pass, flying 10-yard sprint, isometric mid-thigh pull, 2-minute hurdle jump, and a reactive/cognitive agility test.
RESULTS: Participants (n=14) from the Men’s varsity Basketball team (mean age: 20.07 ± 1.38 years; height: 75.42 ± 2.26 in; weight: 192.55 ± 26.05 lbs) averaged [3.82 ± 1.89] rebounds per game. There was no significant effect of specific aspects of athleticism on rebound performance: [F(2,10) = 0.3352, p=0.723.].
DISCUSSION: The results of this study suggest that athleticism is not related to rebound performance in basketball. Past research suggests a correlation between athleticism and cognition on basketball performance (Mangine et al., 2014). Future research should further examine how individual aspects of athleticism may relate to performance. Limitations for this study include self-reported rebound data and data collection across different seasons
