Conversations with Cabrera: Mauro Guillén
No full textPresented online January 26, 2021, 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.Conversations with Cabrera are unscripted and informal, unearthing leadership’s thinking behind the big ideas taking shape across the Institute and trends likely to define our future. This video series is meant to capture candid conversations between President Ángel Cabrera and thought leaders across Georgia Tech and beyond.Ángel Cabrera, President, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA.Mauro Guillén, Zandman Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Penn Lauder Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER).Runtime: 56:53 minutesPresident Ángel Cabrera in conversation with author and educator Mauro Guillén. They discuss the themes of Guillén's book, 2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything. Mauro Guillén’s bestselling book 2030 is both a remarkable guide to the coming changes and an exercise in the power of “lateral thinking,” thereby revolutionizing the way you think about cataclysmic change and its consequences
The Nature of Nature
No full textPresented online November 4, 2020, 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.Conversations with Cabrera are unscripted and informal, unearthing leadership’s thinking behind the big ideas taking shape across the Institute and trends likely to define our future. This video series is meant to capture candid conversations between President Ángel Cabrera and thought leaders across Georgia Tech and beyond.Ángel Cabrera, President, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA.Enric Sala, a former university professor who saw himself writing the obituary of ocean life, quit academia to become a full-time conservationist. He founded and leads Pristine Seas, a project that combines exploration, research, and media to support and empower local communities and inspire country leaders to protect the last wild places in the ocean. Pristine Seas has helped to create 22 of the largest marine reserves on the planet, covering an area of 5.8 million square kilometers.Runtime: 55:25 minutesJoin President Ángel Cabrera in conversation with conservationist Enric Sala, current National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and author of The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild, which makes a clear case for why protecting nature is our best health insurance, and why it makes economic sense
Contrapunteos de Lydia Cabrera
No full textEven today in the history of Cuban anthropology, little attention is paid to the writer and anthropologist Lydia Cabrera, who has only recently begun to be part of the list of intellectuals in official Cuban culture. However, because of her work and life trajectory, Cabrera can be considered the modern founder of studies on Afro-Cuban religions.
The main purpose of this text is to analyse Lydia Cabrera’s ethnographic work based on the idea that there was a ‘counterpoint’, a dialogue, a metaphorical game, between the liminal identity of the author herself – manifested in a racial, cultural, gender, social and political sense – and her interest and dedication to the contribution of slaves and the population of African origin to the history, culture and, ultimately, the identity of their Cuban homeland.Todavía hoy en la historia de la antropología cubana se presta poca atención a la escritora y antropóloga Lydia Cabrera, quien solo muy recientemente ha empezado a formar parte de la nómina intelectual de la cultura cubana oficial. Sin embargo, en función de su obra y trayectoria vital puede considerarse a Cabrera como la fundadora moderna de los estudios sobre las religiones afrocubanas.
El objeto central de este texto es analizar el trabajo etnográfico de Lydia Cabrera a partir de la idea de que existe un contrapunteo, un diálogo, un juego metafórico, entre la identidad liminar de la propia autora -manifiesta en un sentido racial, cultural, de género, social y político- y su interés y dedicación a la aportación de los esclavos y la población de origen africano a la historia, a la cultura y, en última instancia, a la identidad misma de su patria cubana
LiquidO: First Opaque Detector for Decay?
No full textInternational audienceThe novel LiquidO detection for neutrino and rare decay physics has been released for the first time to the international community in the NOW conference (Sept.~2018) in Italy. The presentation summarised the LiquidO potential only and the new detection principle. This document aims to briefly summarise the most important features of LiquidO in the context of its application. Further details are to be provided in forthcoming publications
Possible Precise Neutrino Unitarity?
No full textInternational audienceThe exploration of the Standard Model (SM) leptonic mixing has been led by the study of the neutrino (ν) oscillations phenomenon, whose discovery was acknowledged by the 2015 Nobel prize in physics. Half a century of experimental and theoretical effort has established and demonstrated consistency with the 3ν model and with the so far SM three family evidence. While no direct significant manifestation for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has been found, the SM is known not to suffice to explain all today's observed phenomenology. In the forthcoming decade, most oscillation parameters are expected to yield sub-percent precision. Such a knowledge opens the possibility to experimentally test for BSM manifestation(s) via the direct and competitive exploration of the PMNS matrix unitarity for the first time. Any significant deviation might, in turn, evidence the existence of non-standard states (i.e. new neutrino) and/or interactions, thus allowing for direct discovery potential. Even if no deviations were found, the PMNS matrix structure, very different from its CKM counterpart, is of fundamental importance to our understanding of the leptonic flavour sector. In this document, we shall briefly review today's PMNS unitarity status in the context of existing and future particle physics programme within the next decade. We identify the possible need for a missing experiment(s). One such a case maybe a hypothetical Super Chooz project, employing the novel LiquidO technology, to address both directly sensitivity to the unitarity and unique impact to the exploration of the neutrino oscillation phenomena. Such a program is expected to additionally and coherently reinforce the physics of all currently planned experiments via indirect information aiding both the CP violation and mass ordering forthcoming measurements
OBREGON, Alvaro (Gral.); CABRERA, Luis (Lic.)
No full textFile originally titled “Gen. Alvaro Obregón. File number 5. Subject: B.A. Luis Cabrera. Letter signed by Clemente Reynoso on April 29-919”. Clemente Reynoso is a pseudonym of Gen. Alvaro Obregón, used when answering a letter written by B.A. Luis Cabrera, Secretary of Finance and Public Credit. In said letter, Cabrera addresses three issues: How friends are made using an elevated position. How those friends are “political dead weight” and why the author himself did not make friends by using his position as Secretary of Finance and Public Credit. Clemente Reynoso analyzes the three points, harshly criticizing Cabrera. (This letter can also be found in series 11020700, file C-20, “CABRERA, Luis”, in the Alvaro Obregón database and in series 13010201 “Documents in a Lock Box. CABRERA, Luis; Clemente REYNOSO”, file 10/7 from this same Database). / Cédula titulada originalmente "Señor General Alvaro Obregón. Expediente número 5. Asunto: Lic. Luis Cabrera. Carta firmada por Clemente Reynoso al. Abril 29-919". Clemente Reynoso es un seudónimo del Gral. Alvaro Obregón, quien contesta una carta del Lic. Luis Cabrera, Secretario de Hacienda y Crédito Público, en la que Cabrera aborda tres asuntos: Cómo se fabrican amigos estando en un puesto elevado. Cómo esos amigos son el "lastre político" y por qué no fabricó amigos usando el puesto de Secretario de Hacienda y Crédito Público. Clemente Reynoso analiza los tres puntos criticando duramente a Cabrera.
