Systems Prototyping in CAMILA
No full textFrom school physics we got used to a basic problem solving strategy: create a mathematical model, reason on it, calculate a solution. The Camila approach is an attempt to make such a strategy available at the software engineering level. Based on a notion of formal software component it encompasses a settheoretic notation, a prototyping environment, fully connectable to external applications and equipped with communication facilities, and an inequational refinement calculus. Camila aims to be both a learning tool for Computer Science students and a working tool for software engineers. At the first level it provides a smooth way to programming. At the second a rigorous way to develop complex systems and to promote the use of formal methods in software industry. These lecture notes are intended to support a one-week seminar on Systems Prototyping lectured by the first author as part of the Systems Design course of the Computer Systems Engineering degree at the University of Bristol (UK).

Coming to Trans/Writing: Camila Sosa Villada’s Transvestite Autobiographical Narrative
No full textEl viaje inútil. Trans/escritura (2018) de Camila Sosa Villada, dramaturga y escritora travesti argentina, es un ensayo autobiográfico en el que se rastrean los recuerdos más antiguos del niño que fue Camila y una genealogía familiar plebeya para echar luz sobre el devenir autora y el devenir travesti, como dos procesos paralelos y en estrecha relación. Mi objetivo es indagar de qué modo se articula la experiencia subjetiva de una infancia marica y de una feminidad trans a través de los episodios biográficos recuperados. Para ello analizo cómo concibe Sosa Villada su propia llegada a la escritura, la génesis de su obra literaria y cuál es el álbum de familia en el que reconoce su linaje como escritora. Mi hipótesis es que esta obra sienta un hito inicial en lo que podría devenir una tradición hispanoamericana de reflexión y debate sobre la “escritura travesti”.El viaje inútil. Trans/escritura (2018) by Camila Sosa Villada, Argentine transvestite, playwright and writer, is an autobiographical essay in which the memories of the child who was Camila and a lower class family genealogy are traced to shed light on becoming an author and becoming a transvestite, as two parallel and closely related processes. My goal is to investigate how the subjective experience of a queer childhood and a trans femininity is articulated through the recovered biographical episodes. For this, I analyze how Sosa Villada conceives her own coming to trans/writing, the genesis of her literary work and what is the family album in which she recognizes her lineage as a writer. My hypothesis is that this work sets an initial milestone in what could become a Spanish-American tradition of reflection and debate on “transvestite writing”

The myth of Camila O'Gorman in the works of Juana Manuela Gorriti, María Luisa Bemberg, and Enrique Molina
No full textCamila O'Gorman, a transgressive aristocratic woman who proudly defied the values of Family, Church, and Society in nineteenth-century Argentina, was executed beside her lover, the priest Ladislau Gutiérrez. Since her execution by dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, her life and death represent a myth of rebellion and repression in the Argentine imagination, inspiring many works of literature and film. This dissertation studies three major works inspired by her life: the short story "Camila O'Gorman" (1876) by Juana Manuela Gorriti, the film Camila (1984) by María Luisa Bemberg, and the novel Una sombra donde sueña Camila O'Gorman (1973) by Enrique Molina. It proposes that each author shaped the images of the female protagonist by imprinting on the character of Camila the authors' personal reaction to the political climate in which they lived. Roland Barthes's Mythologies marks the main theoretical frame and distinctive theories on nationalism, narrative, film and genre are also applied. Chapter One situates the political climate of Camila's contemporary life. It studies the mythologies created to support and undermine Rosas' power. Moreover, it gives an account of three women who actively participated in politics: Mariquita Sánchez, Encarnación Ezcurra, and Manuela de Rosas. Chapter Two studies Gorriti as a nation builder. Her story "Camila O'Gorman" reinforces the ideals of a liberal progressive nation. By portraying Camila as a negative symbol, Gorriti adheres to the conservative view on women. Chapter Three inserts the life and work of Bemberg into the development of politics in Argentina. The film Camila addresses the parallel violence of the military regime in the 1980's. The character of Camila is portrayed as a defiant daughter, complying with the feminist views of the eighties. Chapter Four addresses Molina's Surrealist ideals, which determined his poetic analysis of Argentine history, foreshadowing the Proceso dictatorship. In his novel, Camila is represented as a Surrealist muse, who seeks liberty, love and poetry. The historical analogies recovered by the authors lead one to conclude that mythologies of Camila O'Gorman reappear in Argentina in times of political change and debate the rank of women in society.Spanish and Portugues
Microbial enrichment culture responsible for the complete oxidative biodegradation of 3‑Amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO), the reduced daughter product of the insensitive munitions compound 3‑Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO)
No full text3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is one of the main ingredients of many insensitive munitions, which are being used as replacements for conventional explosives. As its use becomes widespread, more research is needed to assess its environmental fate. Previous studies have shown that NTO is biologically reduced to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO). However, the final degradation products of ATO are still unknown. We have studied the aerobic degradation of ATO by enrichment cultures derived from the soil. After multiple transfers, ATO degradation was monitored in closed bottles through measurements of inorganic carbon and nitrogen species. The results indicate that the members of the enrichment culture utilize ATO as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. As ATO was mineralized to CO₂, N₂, and NH₄⁺, microbial growth was observed in the culture. Co-substrates addition did not increase the ATO degradation rate. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that the organisms that enriched using ATO as carbon and nitrogen source were Terrimonas spp., Ramlibacter-related spp., Mesorhizobium spp., Hydrogenophaga spp., Ralstonia spp., Pseudomonas spp., Ectothiorhodospiraceae, and Sphingopyxis. This is the first study to report the complete mineralization of ATO by soil microorganisms, expanding our understanding of natural attenuation and bioremediation of the explosive NTO.Journal ArticleFinal article publishe

Por su alto valor documental, los 14 números que constituyen el corpus de la revista Lyceum en este período representan una fuente imprescindible para conocer los principios programáticos que alentaron la publicación y sus alcances, desde la labor intelectual de Camila Henríquez Ureña, quien además de emprender un intenso activismo feminista, colaboró en otros proyectos con Fernando Ortiz y José María Chacón y Calvo, entre otros
Diversificação Produtiva na agricultura familiar em São Lourenço do Sul, RS
No full textA diversificação de atividades agrícolas é preconizada na agricultura pelo fato de proporcionar qualidade de vida e proporcionar uma melhoria na renda dos agricultores familiares. O trabalho apresenta uma reflexão acerca da diversificação na agricultura familiar do meio rural do município de São Lourenço do Sul, analisa as estratégias de diversificação implantada pelos agricultores. A amostra consiste em dois estudos de caso realizados junto a agricultores familiares que implementam ações de diversificação produtiva. Estes estudos abordando ações de diversificação em UPAs foram coletadas através de entrevistas aplicadas em agricultores familiares do município. Nestas entrevistas foram identificadas como é implementada a diversificação na agricultura familiar e também os motivos pelos quais parte dos agricultores familiares locais não implementam a diversificação em suas unidades de produção agrícolas. Os resultados mostram que a diversificação pode melhorar a qualidade de vida dos agricultores. Com as informações adquiridas pode se concluir que a diversificação é uma alternativa adotada pelos produtores familiares para melhorar sua renda e sua qualidade de vida.The diversification of agricultural activities is advocated in agriculture as it provides quality of life and provides an improvement in the income of family farmers. The paper presents a reflection about the diversification in the family farming of the rural environment of the municipality of São Lourenço do Sul, analyzing the strategies of diversification implemented by the farmers. The sample consists of two case studies carried out with family farmers who implement productive diversification actions. These studies addressing diversification actions in PAUs were collected through interviews with family farmers in the municipality. These interviews identified how diversification in family farming is implemented and also the reasons why some local family farmers do not implement diversification in their agricultural production units. The results show that diversification can improve farmers' quality of life. With the information acquired it can be concluded that diversification is an alternative adopted by family producers to improve their income and quality of life
Partição de recursos alimentares e nicho isotópico de três espécies de sabiás em matas paludosas no sul do Brasil
No full textDissertação (Mestrado)O nicho ecológico é definido como a amplitude das diversas condições e recursos necessários para a persistência de uma espécie. Dentre as várias dimensões de nicho, o nicho trófico é uma das mais comuns medidas de nicho, por representar um aspecto essencial para a sobrevivência das espécies. A utilização de diversas técnicas para análise de dieta pode fornecer melhor compreensão dos mecanismos de coexistência. Os sabiás (Turdus spp.) são espécies cosmopolitas, muitas vezes simpátricas, com dietas parecidas, e que possuem um importante papel na manutenção da biodiversidade de matas paludosas, através da dispersão de sementes dentro e entre fragmentos florestais. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os mecanismos de coexistência e partição de recursos alimentares de três espécies de sabiás. Foram utilizadas três metodologias para a análise de composição da dieta: análise de fezes, de isótopos estáveis, e análise de redes de interação a partir dos dados de dieta e isótopos. Foi demonstrado que existe partição de recurso entre os sabiás e corroborou-se a hipótese de que há diversos graus de sobreposição de nicho entre as três espécies. Os sabiás estudados tiveram um comportamento predominantemente frugívoro. A partir da análise das redes de interação pode-se observar que os sabiás consomem quase todas as categorias de alimentos, mostrando-se generalistas. Os frutos de plantas C3 foram um dos itens alimentares mais importantes nas redes, pois tiveram fortes ligações com as três espécies de sabiás na análise de redes de interação. A partir do grande consumo de frutos observado nas três análises, pode-se sugerir que os sabiás possuem importante papel na manutenção de áreas fragmentadas, pois são dispersores e a passagem das sementes pelo trato digestório das aves pode facilitar a germinação. Desta forma, devido à capacidade de deslocamento entre manchas florestais e áreas alteradas pelo homem, estas espécies de aves podem contribuir para a recuperação de áreas fragmentadas.The ecological niche, defined as the range of conditions and resources necessary for the persistence of a species. Among several niche dimensions, the trophic niche is amongst the most commonly measured dimension, as it represents a key aspect for species survival. The use of different techniques for diet analysis may provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of coexistence among species. Thrushes (Turdus spp.) are globally distributed and frequently sympatric species, with similar diets, and with an important role in the maintenance of the biodiversity in restinga forests, through the dispersion of seeds within and between fragments. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms of coexistence and partition of food resources of three Turdus species. Three methodologies for analysis of diet composition were used: fecal analysis, stable isotopes, and network analysis based on both diet and isotopes. The present study showed that there is resource partition between the three thrush species, which corroborates the hypothesis that there would be a niche overlap between species. The studied thrushes had a predominantly frugivorous diet. From the network analysis it can be observed that thrushes consume almost all food items, characterizing themselves as generalists. C3 fruits were one of the most important items in networks, because they had strong connections, for all three thrush species. Based on the high fruit consumption detected in the three analyzes, thrushes showed to be important seed dispersers, and thus key for the maintenance of fragmented areas, as the passage of seeds through the digestive tract of the birds could facilitate their germination. As such, due to their ability to move between forest patches and human-altered areas, thrushes can contribute to the recovery of fragmented areas
