    Fil: Larguía, Constancio. Universidad de San Andrés. Escuela de Administración y Negocios; Argentina.A thesis displaying a review of the situations that the author has experienced while dealing with a commercial scenario for licensing intellectual property rights. The work intends to build a model to analyze in a systematic way, the success or failure of a licensing strategy. For this purpose, a set of premises is established and a model built considering legal bibliography and an insight of the business. The methodology applied consisted in confronting actual information about a specific market situation with the opinion of lawyers operating with intellectual property rights. These opinions were confronted as well with laws and legal opinions from different American authors. The results reached are a set of formulas that, representing success as equilibrium, illustrate the conditions that both parts must timely achieve to agree

    The Ghost e Francisco Solano Constancio

    By the mid-18th century, the situation of Science, namely as far as medicine was concerned, was deplorable in Portugal. Maria I's doctor, who was also a professor of Surgery in All-Saints Hospital in Lisbon, Manuel Constancio, designed a restructuration of surgical teaching and practice in Portugal. His first move towards this goal was sending, in 1791, 7 students and physicians to London and later to Edinburgh, then the most accredited university in this field. On them he relied to pultiply, through teaching and the use of new techniques, the renewal that he himself had begun. Among the scholars was his son Francisco Solano Constancio, who, in 1796, published in Edinbrugh for some months a periodical, The Ghost written in English, following the English model created by The Spectator and under the fictious name Felix Phantom. At the time, this genre was unknown in Portugal and, for the format, language and subject-matters, belongs to the British literature and had no divulgation or influence in Portugal. The author himself, who in his life publisehd some periodicals, did not repeat his model. Even the fact that he used a fictious name - which was also characteristic of this literary genre - did not prevent, at least a certain stage of the publication, the fact that the identity of the most active person in the work was known. He had some collaboration from the part of a poet and a judge, as we are told in the bibliographical dictionaries of the time published in France, where Constancio spent most of his life, having for certain been the source of such information. In a time when Portuguese literature was unknown in Europe, with the exception of Camoes, it is important to consider the work and the success of this man who had a place in the cultural life in Edinburgh, which attained a very high level at the time. The main object of this dissertation was the study of the periodical, but its author's life and work turned out to be so rich as to justify the remaking of his biography, very badly known and having a lot of wrong information. This work opened perspectives about his activity, mainly in the political field, which led to other studies about him that were published in subsequent yearsAvailable from Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia, Servico de Informacao e Documentacao, Av.

    This article analyzes the success of the children’s stories by Uruguayan Constancio Cecilio Vigil. The enormous popularity that the writer and publisher –who had settled in Argentina in the early 20th century– reached in the 1940s and 1950s was due to a combination of factors: the recognition of Constancio Vigil as an author of books with humanistic and moral contents; the construction of children as readers and consumers; Atlántida publishers’ policy of editing and republishing books in both inexpensive and deluxe, large and small formats; the reading pact with parents, who were assured “good, clean fun” for their children, and with children, who were not only taught morals but also given texts written in simple, enjoyable language, with colorful illustrations and a bit of adventure and imagination.El presente artículo analiza el éxito de los cuentos para niños del uruguayo Constancio Cecilio Vigil. La gran popularidad que el escritor y editor –radicado en Argentina desde comienzos del siglo xx– alcanzó en los años cuarenta y cincuenta se debió a la conjunción de múltiples influjos: el reconocimiento de Constancio Vigil como un autor de libros con contenidos humanísticos y morales; la construcción de los niños como lectores y consumidores; la política de Editorial Atlántida de editar y reeditar los libros en formatos económicos y lujosos, grandes y pequeños; el pacto de lectura con los padres, a los que se les aseguraba “sana diversión” para sus hijos, al mismo tiempo que con los chicos, a los que no sólo les entregaba moralejas sino también textos escritos en lenguaje sencillo y ameno, ilustraciones de trazos claros y coloridos y algo de aventuras e imaginación

    Embodying scales of Filipina/o American sporting life: transnational sporting cultures and practices in the Filipina/o diaspora

    No full text
    This multi-sited ethnographic study examines how Filipina/o Americans take up sporting cultures and practices in Southern California in the twenty-first century. Sporting cultures and practices broadly refers to playing, actively engaging, and consuming sports. Filipina/o Americans have long been involved in sports since the onset of U.S. colonialism in the Philippines and throughout their migration to, and settlement in the U.S. Despite this legacy, scholarly accounts have thus far neglected how sports are central to the Filipina/o American experience. I emphasize how sports figure prominently in the everyday lives of Filipina/o Americans by documenting the multiple sporting spaces they navigate, including internet sports websites, basketball gyms, sports tournaments, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao family fight nights, Pacquiao boxing matches, and social media spaces. In particular, my work explores how power circulates across intersecting categories of difference, including, race, class, gender, and sexuality as they correspond with sport discourses, embodied meanings/gestures, spatialized practices and sporting ideologies and traditions. I argue that Filipina/o Americans’ involvement in sports provide complicated ways of understanding formations of identity, feelings of belonging, and claims to nationalism. Juxtaposing everyday sporting spaces and arenas, I move to the spectacular sporting body of Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao, an eight-time world boxing champion from the Philippines. Drawing from fieldwork conducted in Las Vegas, NV, Arlington, TX, and Southern California, I examine how Pacquiao functions as a transnational icon for Filipina/o Americans. Pacquiao’s success in the “manly art” of boxing has fundamentally challenged stereotypes of Asian bodies as “inferior,” “weak” and “effeminate.” In this way, Pacquiao embodies the literal and metaphoric possibility of Filipina/o American transnational belongings and desires; through affective desires for fulfillment, success, and self-realization. It is through these transnational and digitized renderings that Pacquiao’s racialized masculinity simultaneously becomes a site of celebration, conflict, and contradiction.  Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Constancio Arnaldo, accepted the attached license on 2015-03-20 at 16:01.The student, Constancio Arnaldo, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-03-20 at 16:26.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2015-04-20 at 15:03.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #7763 on 2015-07-22 at 14:24:11Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:45:05Z (GMT).

    Trajectories in Argentine children’s literature: Constancio C. Vigil and Horacio Quiroga

    No full text
    Children's author and publishing entrepreneur Constancio C. Vigil was a Uruguayan who spent most of his working life in Argentina. He was best known for his children's magazine Billiken (1919 to present). Vigil's contemporary and compatriot Horacio Quiroga also made the move across the River Plate and went on to have a transformative impact on Argentine literary culture, in part through his Jungle Tales for Children (1924). Both Quiroga and Vigil aspired to have their works for children accepted as school reading books, recognising the role of school authorities in the formation of the national canon. Vigil and Quiroga's trajectories of inclusion and exclusion, and their extraordinary contribution to the Argentine and Latin American cultural landscape in the first half of the twentieth century, provide a window onto the curation of an Argentine national children's literature at the same time as challenging the very nature of such a category

    Embryonic somite formation generated by genetic network oscillations with noise

    No full text
    In most vertebrate species, the body axis is generated bythe formation of repeated transient structures called somites. Thisspatial periodicity in somitogenesis has been related to the geneticnetwork oscillations in certain mRNAs and  their associated geneproducts in the cells forming the presomitic mesoderm. The currentmolecular view of the mechanism underlying these oscillationsinvolves negative-feedback regulation at transcriptional andtranslational levels. The spatially periodic nature of somiteformation suggests that the genetic network  involved must displayintracellular oscillations that interact with a longitudinalpositional information gradient, called determination front, downthe axis of vertebrate embryos to create this spatial patterning.Here we consider a simple model for diploid cells based on thiscurrent biological picture  considering  gene regulation  as a noisyprocess relevant in a real developmental situation and study itsconsequences for somitogenesis. Comparison is made with the known properties of somite formation in the zebrafish embryo.Fil: Mazzitello, Karina Irma. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
