Emerging technologies in solid drug delivery: An interview with Nadia Passerini
No full textNadia Passerini is interviewed by Hannah Makin, Commission Editor. Nadia Passerini is Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Bologna (Bologna, Italy). She obtained the degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology at the University of Bologna in 1992 and the PhD in Pharmaceutical Science in 1997. Her research focuses on the study of drug delivery systems, developing new technologies and new apparatus for the production of solid dosage forms (microparticles, granules and tablets), which can optimize the bioavailability of drugs according to the specific needs of the therapy. Furthermore, she is interested in the solid-state characterization of the produced delivery systems in order to correlate their physicochemical properties to the in vitro release of the drugs. Currently, her research focuses in particular on the production and characterization of microparticles produced by the spray congealing technology. She is author of over 50 international peer-reviewed publications and over 50 contributions (poster and oral presentations) to national and international conferences
Selected Songs of Nadia Boulanger: Formal Analysis and Adaptation for Brass Chamber Music
No full textWorth can be a difficult thing to understand and define, even under the best of circumstances. Nadia Boulanger is known to have told her teacher, Gabriel Fauré, that “if there is one thing of which I am certain, it is that my music is worthless.” As a teacher, Boulanger empowered her students to listen for the internal logic present in the pieces of art that she considered valuable. This document will apply Nadia Boulanger’s teachings to her compositions to demonstrate that her music does have worth. To that end, these analyses will compile data to discern the internal logic in her pieces.
As a performer, Nadia Boulanger coupled her analytical beliefs to her performance practice; her concerts were shaped by and carefully crafted to present her analyses. Her formal classes included an informal ticket to hear her commentaries in action. Therefore, in addition to analytical validation, the author intends to demonstrate the value of Nadia Boulanger’s music through the arrangement and performance of her compositions as brass chamber music. as brass chamber music

No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico.Este trabalho procura mostrar que a Educação a Distância (EAD) quando utiliza recursos da Internet torna-se muito mais ágil, e funcional principalmente quando se pensa em um país de grandes extensões territoriais como o Brasil. Para que se possa demonstrar estes recursos sendo utilizados, faz-se necessário mostrar exemplos da utilização da EAD através da Internet no Brasil e no mundo e, também fazer um Estudo de Caso do Curso de Gestão para Qualidade na Administração Desportiva, que utilizou a videoconferência com apoio de recursos da Internet, experiência realizada, em 5 (cinco) cidades do Estado de Santa Catarina, simultaneamente, e oferecido pelo Centro de Educação Física, Fisioterapia e Desportos - CEFID da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina - UDESC em parceria com a Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC, através de seu Laboratório de Ensino a Distância - LED. Desta forma apresenta-se a estrutura da página para Internet e os recursos utilizados para viabilizar a comunicação entre os alunos, bem como, os resultados obtidos e as dificuldades encontradas
The intersection of race and gender on representation: Black women legislators' impact on legislation
No full textMy project analyzes how the intersectional identities and subgroup membership of female Black legislators in the Maryland state legislature shapes their legislative decisions in comparison to White men, White women, and Black men. Specifically the dissertation focuses on the role that identity plays in legislative decision making and representation. Specifically, my dissertation explores the complexities of representing the intersections of race, gender, and class in policy deliberations by investigating how Black female office holders legislate 'intersectional issues' that are pertinent to members of marginally disadvantaged subgroups. I utilize in-depth elite interviews, case studies, and participant observation to investigate how members of the Maryland state legislature articulate the factors they include in the legislative decision making process.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaincludes bibliographical referencesby Nadia Elizabeth Brow

Navigating dating and romantic relationships as an adult with Tourette Syndrome: an exploratory study
No full textTourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder defined by recurrent and intrusive involuntary tics that begin in childhood. Individuals with TS often face significant psycho-social challenges, given the public nature of their tics and the fact that their symptoms are often misunderstood by others. This study explores how adults with TS navigate dating and romantic relationships, including the challenges they face and the strengths they have developed in this process. Five adult women with TS were interviewed using a semi-structured interview about their psycho-social experiences of living with TS and how the disorder has affected their dating experiences. The interviews were qualitatively analyzed as individual case studies and also compared and contrasted on the basis of five major research questions: 1) How do adults with TS navigate dating and romantic relationships? 2) What challenges and limitations do adults with TS face in dating and pursuing romantic relationships? 3) How do adults with TS go about explaining their symptoms to romantic partners? 4) How do the socio-emotional experiences of adults with TS with family and peers influence their dating experiences? 5) What factors are helpful for adults with TS in navigating dating and romantic relationships? Findings from the study indicate several themes among the subjects’ experiences: Choosing whether, why, when, how and what to disclose to partners; challenges of explaining tics and TS to others; reasons for concealing tics; impact of making disclosures to romantic partners; family and peers’ responses as a model for how romantic partners may respond; family and peers’ responses as a motivation for getting different responses from romantic partners; and considering genetics and children. Implications for individuals with TS and their parents are discussed, and recommendations for mental health professionals working with such individuals are made.Psy.

“La paradoja de la educación liberadora en contexto de encierro”: las prácticas socioeducativas y el régimen penal juvenil
No full textFil: Fernandes Martins Forte, Jesica. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. Carrera de Trabajo Social, Argentina.Fil: Duarte, Nadia. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. Carrera de Trabajo Social, Argentina.En este artículo nos proponemos inicialmente relevar las concepciones sobre socioeducación que poseen diferentes actores que intervienen en el Centro Socioeducativo de Régimen Cerrado (CSRC) San Martín, localizado en el barrio de Flores, en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Tomamos como insumo entrevistas efectuadas en el marco de la tesis de grado de las autoras y un conversatorio realizado para el Programa de Investigación de Grado titulado “Políticas socioeducativas y experiencias juveniles en el sistema penal”. Por otro lado y en función de dichas concepciones, buscamos reflexionar sobre cómo las prácticas socioeducativas se implementan en contexto de privación de libertad y finalmente pensar las diferencias que se produjeron durante el ASPO. Llegamos a la conclusión que si bien los CSRC tienen un objetivo concreto, la noción de “socioeducación” no es unívoca y las diversas acepciones no obstaculizan la consecución tal objetivo aunque este sí ha sido afectado durante el ASPO. Surge entonces una doble paradoja en el concepto: la de pensarlo como práctica para la libertad en un contexto de encierro y la del encierro en el marco del aislamiento obligatorio
