Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

Marina Martín Garcia
No full textIsla Martín Garcia is founded on a rock outcrop in the Río de la Plata which is a natural protected area between Argentina and Uruguay. Due to the extension of the runway at the local airport, wetlands between Isla Timoteo Domínguez and Isla Martín Garcia developed during the last decades. The bay, where the old port was located, was loaded with sediment. After the waters between the two islands sedimented, Isla Hércules is formed and a channel is created. For the location of the marina, three possible options are selected: at the pier, south of Isla Hércules and in the sedimented bay north of Isla Martín Garcia. By using a multi criteria analysis, a marina at the pier is chosen as the best option because of its small dredging area and minor environmental impact. In consultation with the consultative authorities, a marina at the bay is chosen as the elaborated alternative. The recovery of the old situation in which the marina is located in the bay is the main reason for this choice.Implementation of the marina at Isla Martín Garcia involves cooperation between two parties: the government and a second investor. The government is responsible for the island, and a certain amount of liquidity is required to boost tourism on the island. A second party, like a private investor, is introduced for the maintenance and exploration of the project. This cooperation needs to invest 22.9 million dollars; this includes the 16.4 million dollars for the government and 6.5 million dollars for the second party. Without involving an external investor the internal rate of return (IRR) is 1.77% which is very low. When involving a private investor the IRR increases, the external investor receives an IRR of 7.71 % over the entire lifetime of the marina.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

A Poincaré Image-Based Detector of ECG Segments Containing Atrial and Ventricular Beats
No full textAn electrocardiogram (ECG) classifier for the detection of ECG segments containing atrial or ventricular (A/V) beats could ease in the detection of premature atrial complexes (PACs) and by so, the study of their relationship with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. In this work such a classifier is presented based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and the RR and dRR interval representation on Poincaré Images. Two PhysioNet open-source databases containing beat annotations were used. ECG signals were divided into 30-beat segments with a 50% overlap. Each segment was then transformed into a Poincaré Image. A total of 381151 and 62142 Poincaré Images were computed for normal (N) and A/V segments. RR, dRR and both types of Poincaré Images combined were evaluated as inputs to the CNN. The CNN was trained following a patient-wise train-test division (i.e., no patient was included both in the train and test set) in a 10-fold cross-validation. The patient-wise median and interquartile range accuracy, sensitivity and positive predictive values were 97.90 (94.49 - 99.28), 96.03 (89.67 - 98.76) and 91.91 (70.87 - 99.24), respectively for RR input. No statistical significant differences in performance were found among the three types of Poincaré Images input. Results suggest the present methodology manages to distinguish among N and A/V with high precision

Alfonso Garcia Valdecasas Garcia Valdecasas - vita e opera
No full textLa presente tesis doctoral tiene por objetivo analizar la obra y el pensamiento de Alfonso Garcia Valdecasas y Garcia Valdecasas. El estudio se encuadra en el área del derecho romano puesto que él comenzó su carrera como iusromanista, doctorándose en Bolonia como colegial del Real Colegio de España con una tesis dirigida por Emilio Costa. Aquel trabajo recibió el premio Vittorio Emanuele Secondo y, tal y como se demostrará, fue el primer trabajo estrictamente científico de la romanística hispana moderna. Otras publicaciones del autor que se incluyen en el presente trabajo permitirán trazar las líneas del pensamiento jurídico, filosófico y –en parte- político de Alfonso Garcia Valdecasas y Garcia Valdecasas.This PhD thesis aims at analyzing both the work and the thought of Alfonso Garcia-Valdecasas Garcia-Valdecasas. The study is in the field of roman law due to the fact that he started his career as a iusromanist, receiving his PhD in Bologna as a collegiate of the Royal Spanish College with a thesis under the supervision of Professor Emilio Costa. That piece received the Vittorio Emanuele II price and, as it will be demonstrated, it represents the first purely scientific work in the modern hispanic roman law science. Other publications by the author included in this very work will allow to outline the traits of the legal, philosophical and -partly- political thought of Alfonso Garcia-Valdecasas Garcia-Valdecasas.Questa tesi di dottorato ha per obbiettivo analizzare l’opera e il pensiero di Alfonso Garcia-Valdecasas y Garcia-Valdecasas. Lo studio si presenta nell’area del diritto romano poiché egli inizió la sua traiettoria come iusromanista, dottorandosi a Bologna come collegiale del Collegio di Spagna, con una tesi diretta da Emilio Costa.

Gestión de residuos sólidos municipales de la Isla Taquile y su impacto en el paisaje, la flora y la fauna del Lago Titicaca - Taquile 2019
No full textLa tesis tiene como objetivo principal la descripción de la gestión de residuos sólidos municipales de la isla Taquile, con el fin de reducir los posibles impactos ambientales al paisaje, flora y fauna del Lago Titicaca. Bajo la realidad, de una isla ubicada en aguas dulces del Lago Titicaca, considerando sus características naturales, políticas, culturales e históricas, razones por las cuales la isla Taquile es uno de los principales destinos turísticos del país. Para poder obtener resultados se realizó un análisis documentario, así mismo se realizaron guías de observación y el análisis hermenéutico como una actividad interpretativa de las entrevistas realizadas, por lo tanto, es una investigación de enfoque cualitativo. De los cuales se tuvo como resultados, que pese a existir todo un marco legal para la Gestión de Residuos Sólidos Municipales, esta no es aplicada por las autoridades de la isla Taquile, además que se determina el gran valor ambiental de la isla, por sus condiciones geográfica, culturales e históricas. Se identificó al turismo como la principal fuente de ingresos económicos para la isla, además de ser su principal fuente generadora de residuos sólidos municipales. Al explicar las etapas de gestión de residuos sólidos municipales se identifica etapas que ponen en riesgo a la calidad ambiental de la isla, por las condiciones como la realizan, las misma que son una amenaza al paisaje, flora, fauna del lago Titicaca. Se idéntica que son 3 tipos de autoridades con los mismos niveles de jerarquía en la toma de decisiones de gestión sobre la isla, la que está conformada por la Comunidad Campesina Originaria, la Municipalidad del Centro Poblado como gobierno local y el Teniente Gobernador como parte del gobierno central, los que trabaja en forma conjunta en la gobernanza de la isla
