Some images are difficult to read due to the poor condition of both the originals, which have ink stains, and the writing (especially those entirely written with black inks). The ink has faded away in some pages.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.

Sustentación teórica del proyecto de largometraje Alex
No full textTesis que consta del análisis del proceso de elaboración de un guión literario de ficción para un proyecto de largometraje. El proyecto se titula Alex y es una obra matizada por el género de cine fantástico, cualidad propia de películas norteamericanas, así como por una estética de cine independiente (planos fijos, tiempos muertos, etc.) condiciones propias también del cine latinoamericano, con lo cual podemos decir que este es un proyecto hibrido, tanto desde el guión y su contenido, como por la forma de producción con la cual fue elaborado el corto experimental que es el reflejo de las condiciones en las que el largometraje se vería obligado a desarrollarse. Llego a estasconclusiones partiendo primero del análisis del proceso de escritura del guión, hasta el análisis del proceso de producción del corto experimentalLicenciatura en Cine y AudiovisualesCuenc
New Roads for Patron-Driven E-books:Collection Development and Technical Services Implications of a Patron-Driven Acquisitions Pilot at Rutgers
No full textCollection development librarians have long struggled to meet user demands for new titles. Too often, required resources are not purchased, while some purchased resources do not circulate. E-books selected through patron-driven plans are a solution but present new challenges for both selectors and catalogers. Radical changes to traditional technical services workflows are required, and selectors must modify the selection process to give more choice to the user. Rutgers University librarians have adopted an innovative new technical services workflow and collection-development model to manage a successful, patron-driven acquisitions project for e-books in the fields of math and computer science.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship on 13/12/2011, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1941126X.2011.627043

Il De gemitu Columbae del cardinale Roberto Bellarmino e lo jus publicum ecclesiasticum
No full textSOMMARIO: 1. Premessa - 2. Rilevanza del De gemitu per una “teologia politica” - 3. Il problema dell’appartenenza all’Ecclesia: il canto della “Colomba” - 4. Il can. I della Distinctio XCII del Decretum di Graziano - 5. Osservazioni conclusive.De gemitu Columbae by Cardinal Roberto Bellarmino and the jus publicum ecclesiasticumABSTRACT: One of the minor works of cardinal Roberto Bellarmino, De Gemitu Columbae sive De Bono lacrymarum (1617) is composed of three books: the first is dedicated to the "need for moans"; the second and third, respectively, to the sources and the fruits of the "tears". In investigating the origin of the moan, after quoting Isaiah and Nahum, the Author insists on a verse, particularly evocative, taken from the Song of Songs (6, 9). Therefore, the moan is not referred only to the animal in itself, but also to the whole Church: the work in question seems to be more connected to the textures of a "political theology" than to the classic counter-reformed edification readings. The present contribution aims to examine the relationships between De gemitu and the jus publicum ecclesiasticum, not only externum but also - and above all - internum. And, by this way, the highly debated theme of belonging to the Ecclesia, faced by the great Counter-reform theorist through the images of the dove and the chant
Finding One's Tribe
No full textIntroduction: As a follow-up to last week's piece from a mentee of mine about feeling valued during clerkship, I offer you another piece.
This time the reflection is very much about family medicine and the effect that our example in our department can have on learners. Alex Lo, UMass Chan '25, is also someone I am honoured to mentor in Blackstone House. He is a MassAHEC Urban Health Scholar and going into Family Medicine. He writes here about his time at Hahnemann Family Health Center and how his experience resonated with the same values he expressed when he applied to medical school. As a former member of the faculty at Hahnemann, it does not surprise me at all
lo standard energetico sperimentale della casa passiva mediterranea
No full textCon l’emanazione da parte della Comunità Europea della nuova direttiva sull’efficienza energetica degli edifici (EPBD) 2010/31/UE, che prevede che i nuovi edifici debbano essere caratterizzati energeticamente da un consumo “quasi zero”; nonché dalla direttiva 2012/27/UE sugli usi finali dell’energia, che prevede che a partire dal 2014 gli Enti pubblici riqualifichino almeno il 3% del parco edilizio esistente con tecniche e tecnologie innovative e dimostrative.
Il concetto di edificio passivo non riguarda solamente i consumi per la climatizzazione invernale e la produzione di acqua calda, ma anche i consumi estivi che nel clima mediterraneo hanno una forte incidenza sul fabbisogno annuo, senza trascurare anche quei consumi energetici indiretti che si tende a non considerare nell’analisi energetica “tradizionale” degli edifici. Tra questi il consumo di acqua potabile, l’utilizzo di mezzi elettrici oppure il consumo energetico dei materiali e di tecnologie utilizzate per la realizzazione dell’edificio stesso (nota come energia grigia). E’ importante pertanto riuscire a caratterizzare il consumo energetico totale dell’edificio per poter avere una sua “impronta energetica”.
Nella consapevolezza che l’individuazione di standard prestazionali dipende molto anche dalle norme tecniche di supporto, nonché da varie questioni di carattere sociale, economico e politico, l’intento è quello di formulare alcune ipotesi valutazione convenzionale, supportate da opportune argomentazioni di natura tecnico-scientifica e normativa.
Il presente documento mira, inoltre ad analizzare lo studio svolto e le scelte tecniche e prestazionali adottate per definire lo standard sperimentale di casa passiva mediterranea, nonché valutare l’impatto economico, energetico ed ambientale da parte di un Ente pubblico, nell’attuare tale standard, utilizzando come studio una tipologia di edificio pubblico ricorrente nei nostri territori
