    Anne Campbell-Johnson (with R. Axelrod, L. Lugo and P. Zirkel) is a contributing author, Native language and black dialect interference in the oral reproduction of standard English by Puerto Rican pupils , pp. 129-135. Book description: The purposes of this study are stated to be twofold: (1) to determine the relative effects of the native language and black dialect influences on the oral English performance of Puerto Rican pupils in mainland schools and (2) to assess the relationship of these sources of linguistic interference with aural ability in English, reading ability in English, and time in mainland schools. The oral repetition technique is used with 80 Puerto Rican children enrolled in grades 2-4 in a predominantly Puerto Rican bilingual school. Findings indicate a significant positive correlation between degrees of black dialect interference and time in mainland schools. Significant inverse correlations are indicated between degree of black dialect interference and reading ability in English and between degree of Spanish interference and aural ability in English. Time in mainland schools is said to be significantly related to aural ability in English but not to reading ability. A relationship approaching significance between the degree of native language interference and reading ability in English is considered to indicate a need to explore more systematic approaches to the teaching of English to Spanish speaking students

These citations, according to Español (1956), must correspond to other taxa. Español (1956) cites it as <i>T. interrupta</i> ssp. <i>heydeni</i> (<i>= T. espanoli</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>) from northwestern Spain, and later the same author (Español 1960) cited it again as a separate species from <i>T. heydeni</i>. Viñolas (1986 and 1991) and Viñolas & Cartagena (2005) cited it from Galicia and northern Portugal, as <i>T. curculionoides</i> ssp. <i>interrupta</i> considering <i>T. heydeni</i> a synonymy of this taxon.

Despite all these citations, the presence of this taxon in the Iberian Peninsula needs to be confirmed due to confusion with other taxa. Furthermore, the specimens we have examined and identified as <i>T. interrupta</i> carry a single label “Herdade do Reguengo 1400m ” (without date or collector) which does not allow us to determine with accuracy the locality of provenance, although everything seems to indicate that it is a locality in Galicia or Portugal.</p> <p> <b>Geographical distribution:</b> Western and southwestern France (Mulsant 1854, Español 1960).

    What Is a Family Foundation?

    No full text
    · Family foundations are important institutions, making up a significant portion of the foundation universe and having both local and global impact. Yet we have no shared definition of this diverse and evolving category. Clarifying the definition will help challenge persistent misconceptions, get perspective on the diversity, and improve foundations’ understanding of their own family dimensions. · This article surveys the different definitions of family foundation that are, and have been, used by key organizations in the field and by researchers. It also reviews examples of the variations and complicating factors that make answering the title question difficult. · A single or simple definition of “family foundation” is infeasible and largely unhelpful to the field or to individual foundations. Instead, we offer a more inclusive definitional framework, using a list of “possible family dimensions of a foundation.” The list includes dimensions related to self-identification, the family’s influence and involvement, donor intent and legacy, and assets. · Individual foundations can use this framework to reflect on their particular mix of family dimensions, to discuss what these dimensions mean to them, and to be more intentional in utilizing their family dimensions to achieve their mission

    The chronicle of Alfonson lll and its significance for the historiography of the Asturian kingdom 718-910 AD

    No full text
    The Asturian kingdom provided the earliest organised resistance in the Iberian peninsula to the Muslim invaders who overthrew the Visigothic state at the start of the 8th century. Information on the origins of the Asturian kingdom is regrettably sparse. Historians of the kingdom are totally reliant on a late 9th-century cycle of Asturian chronicles associated with the royal court, the most substantial of which is the Chronicle of Alfonso III. This work has survived in two fundamental recensions from the 10th century. Historians' gratitude for its existence is tinged with frustration at its readily apparent weaknesses, such as a chronological imprecision on events and an enigmatic brevity in the commentary. This thesis considers the 9th-century Asturian chronicles in the context of their own time. In particular, it examines the Chronicle of Alfonso III not as a disappointing source which fails to yield to modern scholars the information they crave on this obscure period of early Spanish history, but, rather, as an expression of the aims of a medieval author and his copyists. The Chronicle was the product of scarce and valuable resources. Its author, within the limits of his literary ability and source of information, transmitted a message which interacted with the individual understanding of its intended audience. This shift of emphasis in analysing the Chronicle of Alfonso III rests on the assumption that its original text may be recognised in the later recensions which used it, by addition or omission, as a vehicle for their own interests

    En este trabajo se plantea la argumentación desde la perspectiva de la Escuela Francesa de Análisis del Discurso, entendiendo éste como práctica social en sus condiciones de producción, circulación y recepción. Se propone un modelo operativo donde se articulan propuestas de Pecheux, Foucault, Robin y Courtine, aplicadas al análisis de las argumentaciones que sobre la crisis expresan 60 personas entrevistadas, diferenciados sociológicamente, dentro del proyecto "El habla de Monterrey".In this research, argumentation is enlighten from proposals of French School of Discourse Analysis, and "discourse" is conceived as a social practice analyzed in its conditions on production and reception. An operative model which articulate Pecheux, Foucault, Robin and Courtine´s theoretic and methodological categories is created and applicated on analyzing samples taken from "El habla de Monterrey", in which 60 interview participants, sociologically characterized, argue about crisis.Althusser, Louis. 1981 Aparatos ideológicos del Estado.

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção, Florianópolis, 2013.O empreendedor é aquele que realiza ações ou idealiza novos métodos a fim de desenvolver e dinamizar serviços, produtos ou quaisquer atividades administrativas. O intraempreendedor faz isso no contexto de uma organização. Esta dissertação teve por objetivo formular um instrumento para verificar o perfil dos intraempreendedores. Foi aplicado um questionário, formulado pelo autor, e outro já validado, com os dirigentes da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina que possuíam função gratificada FG1 ou Cargo de Direção ? CD (em qualquer nível), no ano de 2012. A análise dos dados se deu, primeiramente, de forma descritiva e comparativa entre os dois questionários. Encontrou-se 55% de intraempreendedores entre o total dos dirigentes da UFSC, sendo 56% deles do sexo feminino, 86% com idade de 40 a 50 anos, 71% com tempo de serviço entre 0 - 6 anos e 13- 18 anos e 98% com nível superior ou pós graduação. Verificou-se que os dois questionários aplicados encontraram resultados similares sobre os intraempreendedores, bem como seu perfil. Infere-se que as mulheres, indivíduos com faixa etária de 31 ? 40 anos e que trabalham de 13 a 18 anos na instituição são mais intraempreendedoras. Pela similaridade dos resultados entre os dois questionários conclui-se que é possível aplicar o instrumento formulado pelo autor, mais sintético, para verificar a proporção de intraempreendedores e seu perfil, sem perdas na confiabilidade dos resultados. Abstract : The entrepreneur is one who performs actions or idealizes new methodsin order to develop and streamline services, products or anyadministrative activities. The intrapreneur does so in the context of anorganization. This work aimed to develop an instrument to check theprofile of intrapreneurs. A questionnaire was formulated by the author,and another has been validated with the leaders of the FederalUniversity of Santa Catarina who had bonus function FG1 or CargoDirector - CD (at any level) in the year 2012. The analysis of the datawas, firstly, a descriptive and comparative between the twoquestionnaires. Found 55% of the total intrapreneurs among the leadersof UFSC, 56% were female, 86% aged 40 to 50 years, with 71% dutytime between 0-6 years and 13-18 years and 98% with higher educationor postgraduate. It was found that the two questionnaires found similarresults on intrapreneurs as well as their profile. It is inferred thatwomen, individuals aged 31-40 years and who work 13 to 18 years atthe institution are more intrapreneurial. By the similarity of the resultsbetween the two surveys concluded that it is possible to apply theinstrument made by the author, more synthetic, to determine theproportion of intrapreneurs and profile without loss in reliability of the results

    Moisture triggered release of thymol from electrospun mats to extend shelf life of fresh tomatoes

    Electrostatic fiber formation which also known as electrospinning, a technology to construct fabrics by applying potential differences has gained its popularity in producing nonwoven nano to submicron scale fibers from a wide range of materials (Rutledge & Fridrikh, 2007). The advantages of electrospinning technology in this study are the ambient processing temperature which is suitable to encapsulate volatile compounds and the large surface area produced to make electrospun mats more susceptible to environment conditions (RH, temperature etc.) changes (Vega-Lugo & Lim, 2009). Moisture could interact with electrospinning nanofibers to trigger the release of active compounds from inside the electrospun fibers. The objective of the research was to study the feasibility of developing the moisture triggered release system of thymol using electrospinning technology to extend the shelf life of fresh tomatoes. The system feasibility was evaluated based on three criteria: first, whether the construction of thymol encapsulated electrospun mats could be successful; second, whether the moisture triggered release of thymol from the mats could be achieved; and third, could the moisture from fresh tomatoes trigger the release of thymol from the mats and how much could the released thymol extend the shelf life of fresh tomatoes. Thymol was encapsulated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using electrospinning to produce fiber mats. The retentions of thymol in the fiber mats ranged from 37.9 to 99.2%, depending on the amount of thymol added and electrospinning time. In the first experiment, the rate of release of thymol was found to increase with relative humidity: very low release at 0% RH, somewhat higher at 75% RH, and much higher at 100% RH—this suggests that high RH can be used as a trigger to release thymol in this system. In the second experiment, small pieces of the mat and fresh tomatoes were placed inside plastic containers. The moisture from the fresh tomatoes was able to trigger the release of thymol and extend their shelf life for at least 5 days. Therefore it is feasible to apply this system to real packages.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Chang Li

    Nel curare questa raccolta di architetture progettate in un arco di mezzo secolo la scelta è stata quella di esporre i progetti e le realizzazioni in senso cronologico per far assumere alla compilazione il significato di una documentazione temporale. A conclusione dell’attività redazionale intrapresa mi sono accorto con chiarezza che le risposte progettuali fornite sono tutte state formulate intorno a cruciali tematiche compositive. Tra queste emerge quella del rapporto organico e al contempo neoplastico che il progetto instaura tra lo spazio interno ed esterno dell’edificio. Se la “corte” verrà dall’autore combattuta nelle opere e negli scritti a favore di una composizione più articolata di quella del blocco che genera la rue corridor, il suo posto sarà occupato dall’incessante ricerca di una cavità spaziale tutta interna al volume. Questo tema, già affrontato nel Centro Sociale di Rimini (1958), affida a uno spazio a doppia altezza la conformazione del progetto che trova attuazione procedendo in senso centrifugo. Ciò diventa pienamente compiuto nel progetto per la sede della ITER (ex Rescoop) a Lugo di Romagna (1974) dove, intorno a una tripla altezza centrale, viene realizzata una composizione di masse ora ortogonali ora impostate sulla linea obliqua. Nel primo progetto per il Centro Sociale “Garofano Rosso” (1978) lo spazio centrale non è solo una doppia altezza connettiva, ma assume un ruolo specifico configurandosi come una cavea per 800 persone totalmente aperta al resto dell’edificio, così da formare un’architettura “fluida”. Altro grande tema è rappresentato dall’articolazione dei volumi visti come oggetti metafisici: masse monolitiche che, come grandi dolmen, compongono l’architettura. Il progetto del Palazzo di Giustizia di Brindisi (1957) è eseguito su questi principi, non differentemente da quello della Tête Défense (1983) nel quale, in aggiunta, vi è la perdita dell’ortogonalità planimetrica e della compattezza volumetrica a favore di una dilatazione centrifuga che corrisponde alle esigenze urbanistiche e rappresentative del sito. Il tema della ricerca di una struttura binata che spesso dà luogo a setti di ordine gigante, è ricorrente nei progetti del Palazzo di Giustizia di Lecce (1961), di Brescia (1964), di Napoli (1971), nonché nel progetto per l’autorimessa dell’isola del Tronchetto a Venezia (1983). La composizione articolata su un insieme architettonico unico come incontro tra un volume ad andamento orizzontale di forma triangolare o curva dal quale si innalza una torre sfaccettata con tagli più o meno profondi a 45°, caratterizza la ricerca portata avanti nel progetto degli edifici di ingresso per le Case Circondariali di Spoleto (1970) e di Livorno (1974). La ricerca di una plasticità scultorea di tipo sottrattivo, operata su un volume inizialmente puro che viene scavato alla base come avverrebbe se questo fosse una roccia corrosa dal fluire delle acque, trova una felicissima realizzazione nel progetto dell’unità abitativa nel Rione Guasco S. Pietro ad Ancona. Si può poi notare la ricorrenza di uno studio svolto sul tema della volta a botte in vetro, che, nel progetto di concorso per l’Opera de La Bastille (1983) dà luogo a continue “cascate” contenute tra le maglie di un “pettine” di ordine gigante, in quello per il completamento del museo Guggenheim Ca’ Venier dei Leoni a Venezia (1985) crea nuove coperture formate da due porzioni di volta a botte che entrano in sintonia con la curvatura della cupola della vicina Chiesa della Salute del Longhena. Questo tema si esprime pienamente nella realizzazione della pensilina di accesso all’autorimessa interrata di piazza Matteotti ad Assisi (1993). Vi è poi una ricerca trasversale, quella della rotazione e dei tagli a 45°, che appartiene a diversi progetti: al Palazzo di Giustizia di Brescia, al quartiere Zen a Palermo, ancora alla sede della ITER (ex Rescoop) a Lugo di Romagna e al centro culturale Garofano Rosso, al complesso per infrastrutture portuali a Ravenna (1978), all’area Scientifico-Tecnologica di Trieste (1982), alla nuova sede della CMC a Ravenna (1985), alle strutture di accoglienza e uffici per l’Ospedale S. Carlo di Potenza (1999). Un’altra costante trasversale è costituita dalla ricerca del modulo, elemento prediletto di una metrica sempre chiaramente espressa. La complessità nell’unitarietà dell’opera architettonica, qualità che a mio avviso emerge dai progetti contenuti in questo volume, potrà essere pienamente colta nelle pagine che seguono e venire di volta in volta verificata da un riscontro con i tre saggi introduttivi e con queste brevi note.The choice that was made in editing this collection of designs and built projects, carried out over fifty years, was to allow the architecture to speak for itself in a chronological and not thematic sense. Only at the end of the work did I fully realize that all the planning responses have been formulated with regard to particular compositional themes. Among these, in my view, there stands out the organic neo-plastic relationship that the project creates between the internal and external space of the building. Whilst the courtyard building was fought against by the author in his works and articles in favour of an articulated composition, its place was taken up by an incessant search for a central space which was however never to become a yard. This problem is tackled in the project for the Social Centre in Rimini (1958), where the volumes are structured centrifugally around a double level of the space. This is carried even further in the pro ject for the ITER building (ex Rescoop) at Lugo di Romagna (1974) where a composition of orthogonal and prismatic volumes is created around triple central levels. In the first pro - ject for the ‘Garofano Rosso’ Social Centre (1978) the central space did not simply consist of two interconnecting levels, but took on a spe cific function in the form of a cavea for 800 people, completely open to the rest of the building, so as to form a fluid overall design. Another important subject is the articulation of volumes seen as metaphysical objects: monolithic masses which form the build - ing like huge dolmens. The project for the Law Courts in Brindisi (1957) is built on these principles, not unlike the Tête Défense (1983) in which planimetric orthogonality and volumetric compactness are sacrificed in the interest of a centrifugal expansion of the whole construction, to harmonize with the surrounding buildings. The concern for a twin structure, often with enormous partitions, is a recurrent feature in the projects for the Law Courts in Lecce (1961), Brescia (1964) and Naples (1971), as well as in the pro - ject for the car-park on the island of Tronchetto in Venice (1983). The entrance buildings for the District Penitentiary of Spoleto (1970) and Leghorn (1974) are notable for their articulated composition of a single architectural whole, through a meeting be - tween a volume of triangular or curved horizontal extension, from which a many-sided tower rises with 45° angles of varying profundity. In the project for a residential building in the Guasco S. Pietro district of Ancona there is a plastic effect, as if the architect were a sculptor chipping away at the stone, reducing the original monolithic volume like a rock worn away by water. One can observe a recurrent interest also in the subject of glassworked barrel vaults. In the competition project for La Bastille Opera House (1983) the result was a series of cascades contained between the teeth of a gigantic ‘comb’. In the one for the completion of the Guggenheim Ca’ Venier dei Leoni Museum in Venice (1985) a new roof was created consisting of two half-barrel vaults which harmonized with the curve of the dome of Longhena’s Chiesa della Salute nearby. It achieved fullest expression in the creation of the arched shelter-roof of the access to the underground car-park in Piazza Matteotti, Assisi (1993). There is also a constant interest in transversal effects through rotation and 45° angles. This can be seen in various projects, including: the Law Courts of Brescia, the Zen low income housing development in Palermo, ITER (ex-Rescoop) building at Lugo di Romagna, the ‘Garofano Rosso’ cultural centre, the complex for the port infrastructures in Ravenna (1985), Trieste’s Scientific and Technological area (1982), the new CMC building in Ravenna (1985), and the reception buildings and offices of the San Carlo Hospital in Potenza (1999)

    Rhamma comstocki Johnson, 1992 (Figures 13, 14, 15, 16, 35, 47, 56, 68) Rhamma comstocki Johnson, 1992: 137, figs. 52, 147. Image of holotype examined. Rhamma lecromi Johnson & Lugo 1997: 1, photoplate V figure A, B. Paratypes examined in ICN, topotypic material examined. Type material. Holotype male, Colombia, Bogotá, La Calera, subparamo, 3100 m, leg. L. Richter, December 1945, deposited AMNH. Taxonomic history and remarks. This species was described from the eastern range in Colombia near Bogotá. Rhamma lecromi Johnson & Lugo, 1997 was described by the same author several years later from a different location near Bogotá. We compared recently collected topotypical material and the type material of both species and we were unable to find any diagnostic features to separate them. Females of this species are variable even among individuals from the same locality. Distribution and variability. This species is endemic to the eastern cordillera. Males exhibit little variation along its range from Cundinamarca and Boyacá to de northern tip of the eastern cordillera in the Serranía del Perijá. In contrast, females are quite variable in ventral wing pattern and color, even those from the same locality (Figs. 14, 16). Diagnosis. The recognition of R. comstocki as a distinct species was detailed in the account for R. oxida. Material examined (30 ♂, 6 ♀).
