A History of Catholic School Education in San Diego County, California, from 1850 to 1936
No full textThe purpose of this dissertation was to research, present, and thus to preserve, information concerning Catholic school education in San Diego County from 1850 to 1936. The historical method of research was the research methodology utilized in the study, in which the author primarily investigated original documents stored in religious archives. The author details the thirteen Catholic schools that came into existence during the time period; describes the background and arrival in San Diego County of the seven religious communities that conducted the various schools; and portrays the early leaders responsible for the growth and development of Catholic education in San Diego County. It was noted in the dissertation that Catholic schools gained a foothold in San Diego County in the 1880\u27s largely through the initiative of Father Anthony Dominic Uback, pastor of San Diego from 1866 to 1907. This Catholic leader was responsible for securing the first religious community of women to teach in San Diego County, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, an influential community who would conduct seven of the first nine Catholic schools to open in the County. Until 1936, San Diego County formed a part of either the Diocese of Monterey or of Los Angeles, and it was concluded that, in comparison to the rest of the Diocese, Catholic education developed slowly in San Diego County. Indeed, prior to 1900, there existed only one private school for Catholics, the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, and three schools for Indians. It was not until 1912 that the first diocesan school opened in San Diego County. Nevertheless the Catholic schools instituted during the eighty-six year period under investigation were widely dispersed throughout the County, from San Ysidro in the south, Fort Yuma in the east and San Luis Rey in the north. The dissertation may serve as a valuable contribution to the study of Catholic educational history in San Diego County. Furthermore, a better understanding of contemporary Catholic education is gained throughout the background of historical research documented in the study
Abstracting Ontology-Driven Conceptual Models:Objects, Aspects, Events, and Their Parts
No full textOntology-driven conceptual models are widely used to capture information about complex and critical domains. Therefore, it is essential for these models to be comprehensible and cognitively tractable. Over the years, different techniques for complexity management in conceptual models have been suggested. Among these, a prominent strategy is model abstraction. This work extends an existing strategy for model abstraction of OntoUML models that proposes a set of graph-rewriting rules leveraging on the ontological semantics of that language. That original work, however, only addresses a set of the ontological notions covered in that language. We review and extend that rule set to cover more generally types of objects, aspects, events, and their parts
Diego Gracián de Alderete: The Clandestine Author of the Diálogo de los pajes
No full text[Resumen] Este estudio propone que Diego Gracián de Alderete, bajo el seudónimo de Diego de Hermosilla, fue el autor del Diálogo de los pajes. La afirmación se cimenta en un perfil del autor creado a partir de las referencias históricas, literarias y sociales vertidas en el texto, y se apoya en fuentes inexploradas o no contrastadas hasta ahora.[Abstract] This study argues that Diego Gracián de Alderete, under the pseudonym Diego de Hermosilla, was the author of the Diálogo de los pajes. The claim is founded on an author’s profile generated from the historical, literary, and social references presented in the text, and it is supported by sources not explored or contrasted before
Finding the Right Answer: An Information Retrieval Approach Supporting Knowledge Sharing
No full textKnowledge Management can be defined as the effective strategies to get the right piece of knowledge to the right person in the right time. Having the main purpose of providing users with information items of their interest, recommender systems seem to be quite valuable for organizational knowledge management environments. Here we present KARe (Knowledgeable Agent for Recommendations), a multiagent recommender system that supports users sharing knowledge in a peer-to-peer environment. Central to this work is the assumption that social interaction is essential for the creation and dissemination of new knowledge. Supporting social interaction, KARe allows users to share knowledge through questions and answers. This paper describes KARe’s agent-oriented architecture and presents its recommendation algorithm
Fuerte de San Diego: Museo Histórico de Acapulco,Guerrero
No full textEl texto de esta miniguía está basado en los trabajos de José Gorbea Trueba, Ernesto García y de Moraga y en la Guía oficial del Museo Histórico de Acapulco, fuerte de San Diego.Debido al terremoto de 1776 se derrumbó el original Fuerte de San Diego -que había funcionado por más de 1 50 años, por ello se construyó una nueva fortaleza que heredó el nombre de la primera. Esta, que quedó edificada en 1783, perdura hasta nuestros días. El edificio es único por su diseño, en él se aplicaron los conceptos arquitectónicos más adelantados de la época, esta característica lo convierte en obra maestra de la ingeniería militar de todos los tiempos. Su planta, de forma pentagonal, permite la autodefensa por todos los flancos, además la rodea un foso seco. Podía alojar a dos mil hombres con provisiones y municiones para un año, ya que cuenta con un eficiente sistema para captar, concentrar y conservar el agua de lluvia y numerosas salas abovedadas alrededor del patio central. El conjunto tiene una superficie de 9 000 m2. Después de que cumplió su cometido como guardián de Acapulco y del Galeón de Manila se le asignaron distintos usos, hasta que en 1986 se le erigió sede del Museo Histórico de Acapulco.</p
