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.

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

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/)
