Integración del bienestar emocional de Bárbara Fredrickson, y prácticas de alto rendimiento
No full textTablasFigurasEl trabajo expone el contenido principal sobre las emociones positivas y prácticas de alto
rendimiento de acuerdo con la teoría de Bárbara Fredrickson. Para la autora, las emociones
positivas amplían el repertorio individual momentáneo de pensamiento-acción de los trabajadores
de la empresa Energuaviare S.A. E.S.P., donde cada una de las emociones establece relaciones con
las prácticas de alto rendimiento; al igual que para Fredrickson, el cultivo de las emociones es
fundamental para la salud y el bienestar laboral. Las emociones negativas, por su función de
supervivencia, restringen la visión sobre las que cada trabajador puede llevar a cabo en una
situación concreta. Tanto las emociones positivas y negativas tienen una función adaptativa, pero
actúan en escalas de tiempo distintas.The work exposes the main content on positive emotions and high performance practices according
to Barbara Fredrickson's theory. For the author, positive emotions expand the momentary
individual repertoire of thought-action of the workers of the company Energuaviare S.A. E.S.P.,
where each of the emotions establishes relationships with high performance practices; As for
Fredrickson, the cultivation of emotions is essential for occupational health and well-being.
Negative emotions, due to their survival function, restrict the vision of what each worker can carry
out in a specific situation. Both positive and negative emotions have an adaptive function, but act
on different time scales.Dedicatoria. – Agradecimiento. – Resumen. – Abstract. – Contenido. --Lista De Tablas. -- Lista De Figuras. -- Lista De Anexos. -- Capítulo I. -- 1.

Causal inference for complex data: randomization inference for treatment effect heterogeneity, network outcomes, and subgroup specific effects
Get PDFThis dissertation presents three new methodologies for analyzing randomized controlled trials using the researcher controlled randomization mechanism as the basis for inference. The first method extends inference for the ``attributable effect'', the total of the difference of outcomes if the treatment group had instead been assigned to the control condition, to count and continuous data using a fast approximation algorithm. Alternative approaches are limited to binary data, require asymptotic approximations, or are computationally expensive. A refinement of the method to allow for including additional information is also included. The second method extends randomization inference to the study of network formation. Previous approaches either required strong parametric assumptions or only allowed for pre-treatment networks to be used. This approach develops several test statistics that can be used to test against common network formation models, based purely on the randomization of treatment. The final method improves inference in cluster randomized trials, where collections of individuals are assigned to treatment conditions simultaneously. Under the appealing assumption that larger clusters will have larger outcomes, on average, the method provides efficient, unbiased estimation of average treatment effects requiring minimal additional assumptions. All three of these methods demonstrate the relevance of randomized controlled trials to key areas of science and statistical development as well as the advantages of carefully crafting study design to fit the problem of interest. Data examples include a large scale field experiment involving health insurance, a gene-wide association study involving high dimensional outcomes, and a policy relevant study of parental social capital and student achievement in schools.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Mark Fredrickson, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-12 at 16:17.The student, Mark Fredrickson, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-12 at 16:23.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-12 at 17:54.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12855 on 2018-09-27 at 11:19:17Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:34:20Z (GMT).

The piano works of Armando Albuquerque
No full text"The piano works of Brazilian composer Armando Albuquerque (1901-1986) are surveyed in this dissertation. A discussion of the chronology of the piano works establishes the relationship between Albuquerque and his cultural environment; the identification of the main elements of his musical idiom delineates the individuality of Albuquerque's style and the main characteristics of his piano writing. The importance of Albuquerque's piano pieces within the development of Brazilian contemporary music is evaluated and particular attention is given to his independence in relation to the nationalistic movements in Brazilian music. The main periods in Albuquerque's piano music are described, including the ""estilo trepidante"" of the l920s, the mature period of the late 1940s, and the period surrounding the composition of the massive Peca para piano 1964."An introductory chapter on Brazilian music between 1900 and 1930 is included, along with a list of editions and recordings of Albuquerque's piano pieces.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:11:01Z (GMT).

The emergence and evolution of a generalized marimba technique
No full textThis thesis examines the development of marimba technique in the United States since 1940 from the perspective of the stylistic and musical evolution of the instrument's repertoire, along with the performers and composers who first brought recognition to the marimba as a serious means of musical expression. This study begins with a brief discussion of the precursors of marimba performance, namely the ragtime xylophone technique and the Guatemalan marimba influences that emerged in the United States in the first two decades of the century. The primary focus of the thesis explores the work of seven individuals: composers Paul Creston, Darius Milhaud, Robert Kurka and Akira Miyoshi; performers Vida Chenoweth and Keiko Abe and educator Clair Omar Musser. This thesis argues that the creative contributions of these men and women resulted in the development of a technique and literature for the marimba which elevated the instrument to a vital and imaginative component of serious music.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:24:10Z (GMT).

Attention to Emotional Expressions
Get PDFPrevious research:
• The Affect Infusion Model (AIM, Forgas, 1995) suggests that mood affects judgements in complex situations.
• The Broaden-and-Build theory (Fredrickson, 1998) suggests a positive mood has a broadening effect on attention.
• Faces vs bodies – are faces a special class of stimuli? Ekman (1965) suggests yes; Aviezer, Trope and Todorov (2012) suggest bodies are more important.
Rationale for research:
• Aimed to investigate AIM (Forgas, 1995) and Broaden-and-Build (Fredrickson, 1998).
• Little research has been conducted on the face and body as a whole, even though this is how we experience social interactions in everyday life.
• Furthermore, much of the previous research has not included a neutral condition, meaning that the effects of mood were not compared to a baseline. In addition, most research categorised participants as ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ and did not analyse specific moods
Improved detection of bovine herpesvirus 1 in artificially infected bovine semen by protein amplification
No full textInfection with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV 1) occurs worldwide and causes serious economic losses due to loss of animals, abortions, decreased milk production, and loss of body weight. There is a real need for sensitive diagnostic procedures for detection of the presence of virus in order to achieve effective control of BHV 1-induced diseases. BHV 1 is frequently found in bovine semen and can be widely transmitted through artificial insemination. Thus the detection of BHV 1 in artificial insemination centers and semen banks is of crucial importance in the control of its dissemination to the cattle industry, worldwide. In the present study, a protein amplification assay following polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the highly conserved BHV 1 glycoprotein D gene was used in order to improve the sensitivity of direct virus detection in bovine semen. This method of BHV 1 detection is at least 200 orders of magnitude more sensitive than traditional PCR and would have direct clinical applications in antigen-based detection tests. In this method, amplification of the BHV 1 gD gene by PCR is followed by a coupled in vitro transcription translation of a small aliquot from the reaction. When the transcription translation was carried out in the presence of [35S]methionine and the products analyzed by SDS PAGE and autoradiography, 0.0014 TCID50 of virus could be detected in raw bovine semen in contrast to 0.28 TCID50 of virus detected using traditional PCR. Given the limitations in the method used for protein detection, this 'in vitro protein amplification' has the potential of attaining superior sensitivity for direct virus detection in clinical samples.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 8005839; 0 (DNA, Viral); 0 (Viral Proteins); 0 (bovine herpesvirus type-1 glycoproteins); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
Beyond white supremacy
No full textThe author recalls how he first became interested in American studies and comparisons in 1967, and how, twelve years later, he attended a conference (as did George Fredrickson) comparing the U.S. and South African frontiers. The author then weighs the merits of White Supremacy and Black Liberation individually, and writes that “[w]hat is needed now is for someone to bring the two stories together and to write a fully comparative study of both processes in both countries.

Characterization of monoclonal antibodies against bovine herpesvirus 1 gD fusion protein expressed in E. coli
No full textA total of 20 hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against E. coli expressed bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) gD fusion protein were produced following the fusion of Sp2/0 myeloma cells with splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized previously with immunoaffinity purified BHV-1 gD fusion protein. An indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) using BHV-1 infected MDBK cells was used for the selection of positive hybridomas secreting specific antibody. The monoclonal antibody isotypes were 11 IgM, six IgG2b, one IgG1 and two IgG3. All MAbs reacted positively with the E. coli expressed BHV-1 gD fusion protein, BHV-1 infected MDBK cell lysates and PCR BHV-1 gD transcription-translation polypeptide antigens by an ELISA.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 8005839; 0 (Antibodies, Monoclonal); 0 (Antigens, Viral); 0 (DNA Primers); 0 (Immunoglobulin Isotypes); 0 (Recombinant Fusion Proteins); 0 (Viral Proteins); 0 (bovine herpesvirus type-1 glycoproteins); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
