Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

Increasing Incidence of Breast Cancer Screening Within Primary Care Clinic
No full textBreast cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Early detection and treatment significantly reduces mortality rates. However, screening rates within this clinic continue to be below the clinic driven target goal. Literature suggests there are a multitude of methods to increase screening for breast cancer. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase breast cancer screening rates within a low-income family practice clinic. Interventions include patient education, provider and patient reminders, and culturally driven outreach strategies. The expected outcome is an increase in screening rates, leading to early detection and intervention of breast cancer. Results included 19 participants, of which 95% received a mammogram screening order, and 89% completed the screening. 84% identified as Latino and 79% were eligible for the Ribbons of Hope financial support program
Risk Assessment of Bioaccumulation Substances. Part II: Description of a Model Framework
No full textThis report provides a proposal for a framework for risk assessment of bioaccumulative substances, either from produced water discharges or present as background contamination. The proposed framework is such that it is compatible to the current EIF risk assessment models that are used in the Norwegian offshore oil and gas industry. The risk assessment approach selected for this framework is based on the use of critical body residues (CBR); i.e., body-tissue concentrations above which adverse effects are expected. A three-tiered risk assessment approach is distinguished: tier 1 for worst-case screening purposes; tier 2 based on probabilistic risk assessment using species sensitivity distributions and tier 3 focusing on population modelling for specific species. The latter tier is, because of its specific characteristics, not elaborated in detail. It is proposed to use a food-chain accumulation model to translate species sensitivity thresholds on the basis of CBR into external threshold concentrations, those external thresholds could then be used to either derive an ecosystem PNEC (tier I) or Species Sensitivity Distribution (tier II). This would provide a pragmatic approach to risk assessment of bioaccumulative substances in the context of the EIF modelling framework. Finally, an outline is provided for a research project in which the a risk assessment model for bioaccumulative substances is developed. This model will then be applied to two cases for purposes of demonstration and evaluation. An indication of workload and planning is provided
Tawakkul Karman devient turque
No full textLe 11 octobre 2012, la célèbre activiste yéménite Tawakkul Karman a reçu, du ministre turc des affaires étrangères en personne, une carte d’identité qui lui confère la nationalité turque. Rappelant que la famille de Tawakkul Karman a des origines turques, qui se trouveraient dans la province de Karaman (sud-est de la Turquie), Ahmet Davutoğlu a déclaré notamment que son pays était «honoré qu’une femme issue d’une famille anatolienne ait mené une telle lutte pour la liberté et la démocratie au..
