19th Century Philosophy. A San Marcos vision of the history of Philosophy
No full textThe key matter I attempt to bring into the light is how 19th-Century Philosophy was viewed back in the day, and how we look back at it. Using a thesis from San Marcos in the 19th Century about the philosophy of that time, and the most recent lesson plans of the 19th Century Philosophy course, I seek to demonstrate Metaphysics, Vitalism, and Human Studies will not fade away even though Scientificism seeks overshadowing and discredit them. Employing the 1876 thesis by San Marcos alumni Serafín Filomeno, and the lesson plans by Professors Fernando Muñoz and José Carlos Ballón, I shall uncover how it was seen and how we see the Philosophy of that time in San Marcos University. My findings are something we are living in today, Human Studies will never fade away given the necessity they imply, something Scientificism shall never disprove with their non-human tools.La cuestión principal que pretendo dar a conocer es cómo la filosofía del siglo xix era vista en aquella época y cómo es vista ahora en retrospectiva. Tomando una tesis sanmarquina del siglo xix sobre la filosofía de su tiempo y las programaciones recientes del curso de Filosofía del Siglo xix, quiero demostrar que la metafísica, el vitalismo y las humanidades no desaparecerán por más que el cientificismo pretenda eclipsarlos y desacreditarlos. Empleando la tesis de 1876 del sanmarquino Serafín Filomeno y las programaciones más recientes del curso de Filosofía del Siglo xix de los maestros Fernando Muñoz y José Carlos Ballón, pretendo dar a conocer cómo se vio y cómo se ve a la filosofía de dicho periodo en la Universidad de San Marcos. Mi descubrimiento es algo que estamos viviendo, las humanidades nunca desaparecerán por la necesidad que se les tiene, algo que el cientifismo nunca podrá demostrar con sus herramientas no humanas
Courageous women in media: Marcos and censorship in the Philippines
No full textWhen Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in 1972, press freedom became the first casualty in the country that once boasted of being the 'freest in Asia'. Printing presses, newspaper offices, television and radio stations were raided and padlocked. Marcos was especially fearful of the press and ordered the arrest of journalists whom he charged with conspiring with the 'Left'. Pressured into lifting martial law after nearly 10 years, Marcos continued to censor the media, often demanding publishers to sack journalists whose writing he disapproved of. Ironically, he used the same 'subversive writings' as proof to Western observers that freedom of the press was alive and well under his dictatorship. This article looks at the writings of three female journalists from the Bulletin Today. The author examines the work of Arlene Babst, Ninez Cacho-Olivares, and Melinda de Jesus and how they traversed the dictator's fickle, sometimes volatile, reception of their writing. Interviewed is Ninez Cacho-Olivare, who used humour and fairy tales in her popular column to criticise Marcos, his wife, Imelda, and even the military that would occasionally 'invite' her for questioning. She explains an unwritten code of conduct between Marcos and female journalists that served to shield them from total political repression
Producing Ferdinand E. Marcos, the Scholarly Author
No full textThisarticle discusses the compelling evidence—found in various primaryand secondary sources and analyzed through methods drawn from bookhistory and plagiarism detection—that not one of the books authored byPres. Ferdinand E. Marcos was actually written by him. Thearticle alsoshows how many of “Marcos’s” books had either plagiarized content(e.g., republishing contents from previous works) or were “padded” withlengthy appendices. It also explains the seemingly far-reaching distributionnetwork of these books. Lastly, thearticle looks into how these books,although they have not been republished for decades, continue to servetheir intended functions.KEYWORDS: FERDINAND E.

CFD based aerodynamic redesign of a Marcos LM600
No full textThe final years of the 1960s mark the introduction of aerodynamics to the field of motorsport and they have grown to be inextricably connected ever since. The competing cars in nearly every motorsport category are fitted with aerodynamic devices while Formula One teams actually have departments that are primarily concerned with the aerodynamic design of their vehicles. The GT-class is another motorsport category that hosts cars that are predominantly shaped with the aim to optimize aerodynamic efficiency. The Marcos LM600 is one of the cars that competes in the GT-class and forms the sculpture of this thesis. The subject of this thesis is to enhance the aerodynamic characteristics of the Marcos LM600 through utilization of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This implies that on going through this report a number of modifications to the Marcos LM600 will be presented with the aim of obtaining an aerodynamically improved racing car. In a sense the Marcos LM600 thus resembles a sculpture that assumes its final shape after a succession of modifications. The aerodynamic characteristics that are of primary significance to a racing car are the downforce and drag. The obvious target is to maximize the downforce and downforce-to-drag ratio. Apart from this force ratio, the downforce distribution between the wheel axes is another important racing car characteristic. The actual handling stability of the car is determined by the force balance between the front and rear wheels. Too much ”grip” on the front wheels causes oversteer, while too much rear wheel grip causes understeer. Thus when designing racing cars, the aerodynamicist should take into account the front wheel and rear wheel downforce and to obtain either a vehicle with neutral steer or slightly oversteer1. However, vehicle handling is beyond the scope of this thesis, which is why the Marcos LM600 will only be optimized in terms of downforce and drag, leaving out their effect on the vehicle stability.Aerospace Engineerin
Vulnerabilidade do aquífero livre em leques aluviais do sul de Santa Catarina sob arroz irrigado
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia, Florianópolis, 2015.Predominantemente o cultivo de arroz irrigado no extremo sul do estado de Santa Catarina é realizado sobre gleissolos e cambissolos desenvolvidos sobre leques aluviais. Segundo Driessen e Moormann (1985) os solos no ápice dos leques aluviais possuem textura grossa e condutividade hidráulica elevada. Os autores sugerem que estas características gradualmente se modificam para a base dos leques que possuem texturas mais finas e condutividade hidráulica mais baixa. Sendo esta constatação verdadeira e considerando que as características do solo influenciam diretamente na vulnerabilidade do aquífero, deveria ser possível estabelecer relações espaciais para as propriedades do solo e para a vulnerabilidade do aquífero. Com o objetivo de avaliar a variabilidade espacial dos atributos que interferem na infiltração de água no solo e na atenuação de poluentes, foram distribuídos quarenta e cinco pontos amostrais, nas áreas de cultivo de arroz da Bacia do rio São Bento, entre os municípios de Siderópolis, Nova Veneza e Forquilhinha (SC). Foram efetuadas medidas de resistência do solo à penetração, densidade aparente, porosidade total, granulometria, condutividade hidráulica, conteúdo de matéria orgânica, carbonatos e elementos trocáveis da solução do solo. Com auxílio de tensiômetros foi feito o acompanhamento semanal da tensão no solo durante a safra 2011/2012. De posse dos dados foram efetuadas análises estatísticas buscando a evidência de padrões espaciais e a possibilidade de produção de índices de vulnerabilidade baseados nas características analisadas. Foram encontrados coeficientes de correlação significativos (a=5%), mas de grau moderado, pelo critério de Calegari e Jacqques (2003) para a condutividade hidráulica, resistência do solo à penetração, diâmetro médio e mediana dos sedimentos. Não há correlação espacial significativa para a tensão no solo, conteúdo de matéria orgânica e carbonatos. Mapas de interpolação de dados mostram mais a formação de nichos de iguais características do que uma gradação do ápice para a base do leque, provavelmente resultantes do padrão entrelaçado dos canais e de diferentes tipos de depósitos que ocorrem na área de leques aluviais. Embora camadas compactadas reduzam o fluxo de água no perfil, a percolação de água das quadras de cultivo é detectada pelos tensiômetros. O aumento da densidade, relacionada à formação de camadas compactadas, implica em menor infiltração da água das quadras de arroz para o subsolo, o que eleva a tensão. Foram criados índices de potencial de redução da infiltração e potencial de atenuação de poluentescom base na somatória ponderada das distâncias euclidianas do ponto amostral em relação ao autovetor, em uma análise de principais componentes. O potencial de redução da infiltração assim produzido tem correlação de 51% com as coordenadas UTM Norte. O potencial de atenuação tem correlação de 98% com estas coordenadas. A soma destes potenciais cria um índice numérico de vulnerabilidade do aquífero baseado nas características do solo cujo mapa apresenta muitas semelhanças com o potencial de redução da infiltração, mas com baixa correlação espacial.Abstract : Predominantly irrigated rice cultivation in the southern end of Santa Catarina State is carried out on Gleysols and Cambisols developed on alluvial fans. According to Driessen and Moormann (1985) soil on the proximal fan areas have a coarse texture and high hydraulic conductivity. The authors suggest that these characteristics gradually change towards the distal fans that have finer textures and lower hydraulic conductivity. Considering that this finding is true and that soil characteristics contribute directly to the aquifer vulnerability, it should be possible to establish spatial relationships of the soil properties and of aquifer vulnerability. With the aim of evaluating spatial variability of the attributes that interfere with water infiltration into the soil and with mitigation of pollutants, forty-five sample points were distributed in the areas of rice cultivation of the São Bento basin, between the municipalities of Siderópolis, Nova Veneza and Forquilhinha in Santa Catarina State. Measurements of soil penetration resistance, bulk density, total soil porosity, particle size distribution, hydraulic conductivity, organic matter content, carbonates, and element concentration in soil solution were carried out. With the aid of tensiometers weekly monitoring of tension in the soil was done during the 2011/2012 crop season. With this data we proceeded to statistical analyses seeking evidence of spatial patterns and the possibility of building indices of vulnerability based on the analyzed characteristics. Significant correlation coefficients were found (a = 5%), but at a moderate level by the criterion of Callegari and Jacques (2003) for the hydraulic conductivity, soil penetration resistance, average mean diameter and median size. There is no significant spatial correlation for the tension in the soil, and organic matter content, and carbonates. Maps of data interpolation show more the formation of niches of the same features than a gradation from the proximal fan areas to the distal fan areas probably due to the braided channels and different types of deposits that occur in the alluvial fan area. Even though compacted layers reduce water flow on the profile, the percolation of water in paddy fields was detected by the tensiometers. The increased density, connected to the formation of compacted layers, implies less infiltration of water from rice paddies to the subsoil, which raises the tension. Indexes of potential for reduction of infiltration and for mitigation of pollutants were created based on the weighted sum of Euclidean distances of the sample point in relation to the eigenvector, in a principal component analysis. The potential for reduction of infiltration thus produced has a 51% correlation to the North UTM coordinates. The potential for mitigation has a 98% correlation tothese coordinates. The sum of these potentials creates a numerical index of the aquifer vulnerability based on soil characteristics whose map has many similarities with the potential for reduction of infiltration, but with low spatial correlation

Appendix 4.17: Marcos Diary Entry, 29 January 1973
No full textMarcos here seems assured that his cooptation of the judiciary, which began back in 1971 with Lansang, was coming to a close. The specialist in commercial law—his award-winning law school thesis was titled “The Power of the National Assembly to Amend, Alter, of Repeal Corporate Charters Under the Philippine Constitution” (Marcos 1939a, 1939b)—still knew how to make deals in his favor
