Childhood in the works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik
No full textThis thesis
explores childhood as
theme
and perspective
in
the Argentine
cuentista and
poet
Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993)
and traces this thematic
and vital
link to the
Argentine
poet
Alejandra Pizamik (1936-1972). The
study
looks
at childhood not only
in
relation to their literary texts but
also
in the
writers' construction of self-identity
within
their
socio-literary context, and at
the
role played
by
visual art
in their
aesthetic.
Chapter 1
contrasts Silvina
with
her
elder sister
Victoria Ocampo through their
differing literary
appropriation of a shared childhood. It distinguishes Ocampo from
Adolfo Bioy Casares and
Jorge Luis Borges in terms of
her fictional logic
and
her
treatment of games, drawing comparisons instead with Julio Cortdzar.
Chapter 2
undertakes close reading of various Ocampo texts, including
some
for
children,
in
order to explore
her
vision of childhood through nostalgia, adult-child
power relationships, aging and rejuvenation, and moments of
initiation or
imitation.
Chapter 3
turns to Pizarnik
and the myth of the child-poet.
It
analyses
her
child
personae through Andre Breton's Surrealism, Jean Cocteau
and
Octavio Paz, through
her borrowings from Alice in Wonderland
and
Nadja,
and
through
her
obsession with
madness, death,
orphanhood, violation and transgression.
Chapter 4 is
comparative.
It
outlines the context
in
which
Ocampo
and
Pizamik's
passionate friendship developed,
and considers
Pizamik's
essay on
Elpecado
mortal.
It
then explores their broad
mutual
literary
and
thematic
affinities.
My
conclusion is that Ocampo's works achieve equilibrium between childhood and age,
whereas Pizarnik's
much-discussed poetic crisis of exile
from language itself
parallels
her deep sense of anxiety at being
exiled from the world of childhood.
This thesis
contributes to the
study of
Argentine literature by drawing
revealing
comparisons
between
two key
writers
through their shared obsession with childhood,
arguing that
an understanding of their attitudes
to childhood
is fundamental
to
appreciating
fully their
work.

Customer Satisfaction in the Farm at San Benito Based on Online Reviews from Selected Travel Websites
No full textAbstract: Service quality has been identified as a critical problem in the tourism industry. Despite several studies on service quality, the function of service quality and customer satisfaction in the tourism business, as well as their relationship, remain unsolved. The main focus of this paper is to assess the level of Customer Satisfaction in The Farm at San Benito Based on Online Reviews from Selected Travel Websites. This study also addresses the well-known SERVQUAL model and describes additional service quality and customer satisfaction models used in the tourism sector. The model focuses on the five variables namely, tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy focusing on their core products as a Holistic Medical Wellness Resort. Based on the data gathered from five hundred reviews from the four travel websites, the study concludes that the respondents are overall satisfied with the Wellness Resort Services.
Keywords: Customer Satisfaction, Service Quality, SERVQUAL, Tangible, Reliability, Responsiveness.

On the turbulence induced by non-breaking surface waves
No full textUpper ocean turbulence is a very relevant process within the context of quantifying the exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. We present results of a study of turbulence induced by non-breaking waves from detailed observation in a small wave tank facility in the Faculty of Marine Science of the University of Baja California. The experiments were carried out with mechanically generated monochromatic waves in a tank of approximately 12m x 0.5m x 0.3m with a varying steepness (ak) from about 0.02 to 0.18, and detailed measurements of the vertical profile of the 3d velocity field within a water column of about 0.035 m in length. Routine data quality control includes the use of only high beam correlation signal within each of the acoustic beams used by the profiler. A rotation matrix was applied to the velocity data matrix in order to secure that the x, y, and z axes were properly aligned with the wave tank. Rather low wave reflection was obtained through the implementation of a beach at the end of the wave tank. The intermittent character of the turbulence present is shown as a region following the -5/3 power law in the spectrum. Nevertheless, this spectral shape is being observed in most of our experimental results, particularly in those where the wave steepness was not too small. Root mean square values are obtained from the turbulent fluctuations time series to evaluate an integral quantity to characterize the turbulence intensity. This intensity is analyzed in terms of the wave steepness showing a linear relationship. The turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate is also estimated and the relevance of the velocity spectra directly estimated over a limited number of wavenumber bands is addressed. This work represents a RugDiSMar Project (CONACYT 155793) contribution and support from CONACYT project CB-2011-01- 168173 is greatly appreciated

Cold exposure and sleep in the rat: REM sleep homeostasis and body size
No full textStudy Objectives: Exposure to low ambient temperature (Ta) depresses REM sleep (REMS) occurrence. In this study, both short and long-term homeostatic aspects of REMS regulation were analyzed during cold exposure and during subsequent recovery at Ta 24 degrees C.
Design: EEG activity, hypothalamic temperature, and motor activity were studied during a 24-h exposure to Tas ranging from 10 degrees C to -10 degrees C and for 4 days during recovery.
Setting: Laboratory of Physiological Regulation during the Wake-Sleep Cycle, Department of Human and General Physiology, Alma Mater Studiorum-University of Bologna.
Subjects: 24 male albino rats.
Interventions: Animals were implanted with electrodes for EEG recording and a thermistor to measure hypothalamic temperature.
Measurements and Results: REMS occurrence decreased proportionally with cold exposure, but a fast compensatory REMS rebound occurred during the first day of recovery when the previous loss went beyond a "fast rebound" threshold corresponding to 22% of the daily REMS need. A slow REMS rebound apparently allowed the animals to fully restore the previous REMS loss during the following 3 days of recovery.
Conclusion: Comparing the present data on rats with data from earlier studies on cats and humans, it appears that small mammals have less tolerance for REMS loss than large ones. In small mammals, this low tolerance may be responsible on a short-term basis for the shorter wake-sleep cycle, and on long-term basis, for the higher percentage of REMS that is quickly recovered following REMS deprivation
