Ellis enveloping semigroups in real closed fields
No full textWe introduce the Boolean algebra of d-semialgebraic (more generally, d-definable) sets and prove that its Stone space is naturally isomorphic to the Ellis enveloping semigroup of the Stone space of the Boolean algebra of semialgebraic (definable) sets. For definably connected o-minimal groups, we prove that this family agrees with the one of externally definable sets in the one-dimensional case. Nonetheless, we prove that in general these two families differ, even in the semialgebraic case over the real algebraic numbers. On the other hand, in the semialgebraic case we characterise real semialgebraic functions representing Boolean combinations of d-semialgebraic setsDepto. de Álgebra, Geometría y TopologíaFac. de Ciencias MatemáticasFac. de InformáticaTRUEpu
Reenergising professional creativity from a CHAT perspective: Seeing knowledge and history in practice
No full textThis is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2011 Regents of the University of California.This article offers a critical examination of aspects of a practice- and theory-developing intervention in the teacher education setting in England designed as a variation of Developmental Work Research. A positive case is argued for the distinctiveness of such cultural-historical activity theory [CHAT-] informed interventions and some points of contrast are drawn with the British tradition of educational action research. In describing the practice-developing intervention, the twin focus on seeing knowledge and history in human activity systems is advanced as two dimensions of CHAT's distinctive approach, with the goal of stimulating and studying the emergence of professional creativity. Creativity under this interpretation is defined as the perception and analysis of opportunities for learning within the social situation of development and the production of new conceptual tools and approaches to the social organisation of work. Professional creativity is advanced as a much needed capacity among teachers in industrial workplaces influenced by the techniques of New Public Management. Common ground between CHAT and action research approaches is seen in their optimistic and modernist commitments to progress, and CHAT-framed interventions, like action research approaches, are presented as part of an evolving intellectual project
Connecting does not necessarily mean learning: Course handbooks as mediating tools in school-university partnerships
No full textThis is the author's accepted manuscript (titled "Course handbooks as mediating tools in learning to teach"). The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2011 American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.Partnerships between schools and universities in England use course handbooks to guide student teacher learning during long field experiences. Using data from a yearlong ethnographic study of a postgraduate certificate of education programme in one English university, the function of course handbooks in mediating learning in two high school subject departments (history and modern foreign languages) is analyzed. Informed by Cultural Historical Activity Theory, the analysis focuses on the handbooks as mediating tools in the school-based teacher education activity systems. Qualitative differences in the mediating functions of the handbooks-in-use are examined and this leads to a consideration of the potential of such tools for teacher learning in school–university partnerships. Following Zeichner’s call for rethinking the relationships between schools and universities, the article argues that strong structural connections between different institutional sites do not necessarily enhance student teacher learning

A genetic basis for a postmeiotic X versus Y chromosome intragenomic conflict in the mouse.
No full textIntragenomic conflicts arise when a genetic element favours its own transmission to the detriment of others. Conflicts over sex chromosome transmission are expected to have influenced genome structure, gene regulation, and speciation. In the mouse, the existence of an intragenomic conflict between X- and Y-linked multicopy genes has long been suggested but never demonstrated. The Y-encoded multicopy gene Sly has been shown to have a predominant role in the epigenetic repression of post meiotic sex chromatin (PMSC) and, as such, represses X and Y genes, among which are its X-linked homologs Slx and Slxl1. Here, we produced mice that are deficient for both Sly and Slx/Slxl1 and observed that Slx/Slxl1 has an opposite role to that of Sly, in that it stimulates XY gene expression in spermatids. Slx/Slxl1 deficiency rescues the sperm differentiation defects and near sterility caused by Sly deficiency and vice versa. Slx/Slxl1 deficiency also causes a sex ratio distortion towards the production of male offspring that is corrected by Sly deficiency. All in all, our data show that Slx/Slxl1 and Sly have antagonistic effects during sperm differentiation and are involved in a postmeiotic intragenomic conflict that causes segregation distortion and male sterility. This is undoubtedly what drove the massive gene amplification on the mouse X and Y chromosomes. It may also be at the basis of cases of F1 male hybrid sterility where the balance between Slx/Slxl1 and Sly copy number, and therefore expression, is disrupted. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first demonstration of a competition occurring between X and Y related genes in mammals. It also provides a biological basis for the concept that intragenomic conflict is an important evolutionary force which impacts on gene expression, genome structure, and speciation
Petroficción, fotografía y memoria en Recuerdos del río volador de Daniel Ferreira
No full textI analyze how Daniel Ferreira's novel Recuerdos del río volador (2022) thematizes petromodernity in Colombia. I explore its connections to various unfinished mourning within the context of the memory of the Colombian conflict and different forms of violence, engaging in dialogue with the Colombian Truth Commission (CEV), since the novel links the political violence of the early 20th century to the systemic violence caused by various types of extractivism. I argue that the novel, understood as petrofiction, serves as a counternarrative to oil extractivism. To support this, I interpret it through the lens of countermemory, drawing on concepts of multidirectional memory (Rothberg, 2009; Kennedy, 2017) and ecological grief (Cunsolo & Ellis, 2018; Barnett, 2022). Additionally, I propose that photography acts as a testimonial tool in the processes of recovering non-official memories and depicting the intersections of material culture and art. Ultimately, I explain how the novel prompts a reevaluation of the necropolitics involved in oil exploitation, its strategies for dispossession and control over territories and bodies, as well as the environmental degradation of the Magdalena River.Analizo cómo Recuerdos del río volador (2022) de Daniel Ferreira tematiza la petromodernidad en Colombia. Exploro sus lazos con diferentes duelos inconclusos en el marco de la memoria del conflicto colombiano y diferentes tipos de violencia, en diálogo con la CEV, ya que conecta la violencia política de la primera mitad del siglo XX con la violencia sistémica causada por diversos tipos de extractivismo. Explico cómo la novela, entendida como petroficción, es una contranarrativa al extractivismo petrolero. Para ello, la interpreto como una contramemoria a partir de las perspectivas de la memoria multidireccional (Rothberg, 2009; Kennedy, 2017) y elduelo ecológico (Cunsolo & Ellis, 2018; Barnett, 2022). Propongo que la fotografía opera por igual en ella como un instrumento testimonial dentro de procesos de recuperación de memorias no oficiales y la representación de las confluencias de cultura material y arte. De esta forma, muestro cómo la novela ayuda a reconsiderar la necropolítica que interviene en la explotación petrolera y sus estrategias de despojo, control de territorios y cuerpos, sumadas al deterioro ambiental del río Magdalena
Sarah Ellis y la importancia de la educación de las jóvenes inglesas en la época victoriana
No full textTogether with the spread of the new evangelical movements that emerged in England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, a period of redefinition of social and family ties began. Thus, gender relationships were also regulated within the framework of these reformist doctrines.
Here we analyze the book titled “The Daughters of England: their position in society, character and responsibilities” by Sarah Ellis. Written in 1842, it is part of a series of texts by the same author sharing a common target: women.
With a clear prescriptive profile, this handbook of conduct addressed to young ladies, describes and regulates the characteristics expected of females and the tasks to be fulfilled in terms of their social role.
Using friendly and familiar language, the author aims to generate some reflection on readers in order to defend an alleged complementarity between the sexes, which restricts women’s activities to the domestic sphere.A partir de la difusión de los nuevos movimientos evangélicos que surgen en Inglaterra a fi nales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX, comienza una etapa de resignificación de los vínculos sociales y familiares. En este sentido, las relaciones de género también encuentran su espacio de regulación dentro de estas doctrinas reformistas. El presente trabajo se propone analizar la obra The Daughters of England: their position in society, character and responsibilities, de Sarah Ellis, escrita en 1842, que forma parte de una serie de escritos de la misma autora que comparten un mismo destinatario: las mujeres.De carácter prescriptivo, este manual de conducta dirigido a las más jóvenes describe y normativiza cuáles son las características propias del sexo femenino y la tareas que este debe cumplir en función del rol social que lleva adelante.Con un lenguaje cercano y familiar, la autora pretende generar cierta reflexión por parte de sus lectoras en pos de la defensa de una supuesta complementariedad entre los sexos, que limita la presencia femenina al espacio doméstico
A practice based learning environment for engineering students: Acquiring competencies for working on advanced manufacturing engineering
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.In this thesis the author describes the design and operation of a learning environment aimed at imparting technical, technological and managerial knowledge, developing understanding of the underlying issues and enhancing team work skills for an advanced technology future. He offers an analysis of learning, education and training and compares group work with individual tasks, presents a major case study and illustrates the features which distinguish the approach from role play, simulation and experiential learning. When staff at Brunel University were faced with the problem of teaching Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) to engineering students on thin sandwich type undergraduate degree programmes the writer suggested the use of an approach he would later describe as 'practice based learning' or 'real life simulation'. The fourth year course in CIM is designed as a double option for the complementary undergraduate courses, Brunel Manufacturing Engineering (BME) and Special Engineering Programmes (SEP). It is an extension of the Manufacturing Design and Practice course in years one to three of the BME course and of the Design strand on SEP, both of which restrict students' work to the use of individual machine tools and stand alone computing facilities. A wide range of teaching methods is used on the CIM course, including lectures by course staff, presentations by experts and, as the major element, a large group project involving all the students on the course, organised in a management matrix, coordinated by the students and supported by the staff acting as experts. The students also undertake assignment work alongside the technical tasks, to focus their thinking and to improve written communication skills. While the course described cannot replace more than a small proportion of the more conventional lecture, laboratory and tutorial teaching on an engineering programme, it provides a setting where students can experiment and learn about their own strengths and weaknesses in a realistic situation and in the context of teamwork. It also offers a space where they can make quite serious mistakes without direct consequences to their careers. The experience of seven years leads the author to believe that advanced manufacturing technologies and the associated management techniques should be taught in a project based environment with clear and real targets and realistic constraints, offering students challenges to which they can only rise through close and creative team work. The management of task execution must be left largely in the students' own hands. A high level of "consultant" type support is essential though, allied to an assessment scheme which promises and ensures fair treatment of the individual. The different parts of the thesis will be relevant to readers depending on their interest and background. Chapter 1 sets the scene and outlines the approach taken. Following this broad outline of the scope of the dissertation the author places Computer Integrated Manufacturing in a wider context in chapter 2, by providing an introduction to the underlying issues of computer integration and human factors. He puts forward a case for new approaches to the education and training of engineers and managers who will be working in Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Advanced Manufacturing Environments in general. Chapter 3 is devoted to the management of projects while chapter 4 is used to question the role of the engineer. Chapters 5 and 6 provide an introduction to theories of knowledge, teaching, learning and motivation. Chapters 7 and 8 are devoted to particular aspects of engineering education, while chapter 9 reviews the approach used at Brunel University. The topical issues of competence and its relevance to engineering education is discussed in chapter 10, leading into chapters 11 and 12 which deal with aspects of the CIM course. Chapters 13 and 14 are devoted to case-studies and particular tools. The key question of assessment of a practice oriented and team based course is addressed in chapter 15, followed by an evaluation of the CIM process and its application to engineering education of a full time nature which is included in chapters 17 and 18.Funding was obtained from The General Electric Company Prize 1993: Manufacturing Systems Engineering
