    Education and Training in St.Lucia: A Partially Annotated Bibliography

    No full text
    This bibliography on “Education and Training in St. Lucia” has been specifically prepared for the UWI School of Continuing Studies’ St. Lucia Country Conference. An attempt has been made to be as comprehensive as possible, but because of the weak bibliographical coverage of the literature of the region, important items may have been omitted. This is especially true for policy documents emanating from official sources. It covers all aspects of education and training in St.Lucia including distance education, educational finance,health and family life education and educational reform

    Landscape, black & white, 4 x 6 in.No. 18. Columbus Square, St. Lucia. Columbus Square, St. Lucia, located in the heart of the capital city, Castries was formerly the site of the Place D’Armes, which was renamed Promenade Square before being renamed the Columbus Square. The Square is currently named after a St. Lucian author Derek Walcott. This spot also pays respect to residents who lost their lives in battle. On the Postcard; “Columbus Square, St. Lucia.” people can be seen congregating in the Square under the trees. Information at the back of the Post Card: Union Postale Universelle Sarah Cameron, 2013.

    Solidification and turbulence (non-laminar) during magma ascent. Insights from 2D and 3D analyses of bubbles and minerals in an Etnean dyke

    No full text
    Solidification, emplacement and fluid dynamics of a sub-volcanic rock at Mt Etna have been investigated through two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) textural analyses of the hosted bubbles and minerals. This rock is a 4 center dot 3 m thick aphyric dyke (DK) that solidified at a depth of 100-300 m, below the pristine surface level. Seven samples from the dyke rim (DK1) to core (DK7) have been analysed in two dimensions by using a high-resolution scanner, a transmission optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy imaging with back-scattered electrons, and in three dimensions by microfocus X-ray computed tomography. Field observations and mesoscopic polished rock surfaces show bubble-rich, -poor and -free patches even in rock pieces of a few cubic centimetres, with changes in sizes and shapes; even so, their shapes and spatial arrangement can never be attributed to high degrees of strain. In parallel, the amount of bubbles irregularly varies from dyke rim to core, whereas plagioclase (plg), clinopyroxene (cpx), titanomagnetite (timt), and olivine (ol) show only limited variations. The fabric of bubbles retrieved by 3D orientation of their maximum length (i.e. elongation) is invariably random in space for each DK sample. These bubble features have been attributed to transitional to turbulent flows; that is, non-laminar regimes (Reynolds number > 1000), predicted for a long time from numerical models and that occurred before the crystallization of minerals. Water solubility, volume of bubbles, magma density and viscosity models indicate that, at pressure higher than 10 MPa, 1 wt % H2O was dissolved in the original trachybasaltic magma, which, in turn, was close to its liquidus temperature. As the pressure decreased at very shallow levels, the magma significantly degassed and volatile exsolution induced marked crystallization (mostly plg followed by cpx). The viscosity of the system increased, decelerating and halting the magmatic suspension. The textures and fabrics of bubbles were suddenly frozen in, despite crystals continuing to grow under the effect of cooling rate variables from the inner (DK7) to outer (DK1) dyke portions. Fluid-dynamic computations suggest that the DK trachybasaltic magma ascended with a velocity of few metres per second in a transitional to turbulent regime, before the growth of minerals

    The language of the cataloguer (part 1). The author

    No full text
    The paper analyses the evolution of the language of cataloguing, focusing on the concept of authorship. It evaluates cataloguing principles, rules and theory, from Cutter to ICP 2016, in order to study the modification of the idea of author in cataloguing and the emerging importance of non-authorial responsibilities as access points for the organization of catalogues

    The causes and the effects of the deficiency in the Pre-Legislative and Legislative scrutiny processes in St. Lucia

    No full text
    This dissertation argues that there is a significant deficiency in the pre-legislative and legislative scrutiny processes in St. Lucia, caused by the failure of Parliament to utilize the Standing Orders in the manner in which they were intended and develop and follow a more systematic scrutiny process. The author explains how this has hindered St. Lucia’s ability to gain more benefit from the legislative process and improve the quality of legislation produced with less likelihood of amendments

    Export Processing in the Caribbean: Lessons from Four Case Studies

    No full text
    The author reviews case studies of four Caribbean countries-the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Trinidad-and briefly discusses an African country, Mauritius. He compares labour legislation, nationality of investors, technology transfer, and linkages with the rest of the economy. Of these five cases, only Trinidad failed to develop a significant export processing sector. Explanations rooted in government policy are suggested for this result.

    Dataset of the Anarchist Translation Flows and World Literature Project (ARGOT) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 101065157, 2023-2025 (Main researcher: Lucia Campanella). This dataset, consisting of various collections of structured data in diverse formats, presents the results of the ARGOT project. Below, there is a list and brief description of the four interconnected subdatasets, each representing a distinct phase in the data processing pipeline. Information on each subdataset is to be found in a Readme document included in each collection. Subdataset I contains metadata on the selected periodicals used as the primary data sources. Subdataset II consists of the digitized and transcribed content from these periodicals. Subdataset III includes all extracted text lines in which author entities have been identified using Named Entity Recognition (NER) and cross-referenced with VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) identifiers. Subdataset IV contains manually validated literary translations, with enriched metadata providing additional contextual and bibliographic information
