Mystical strategies and performative discourse in the theologia mystica of Teresa of Avila: A Wittgensteinian analysis
No full textThe thesis argues that a Wittgensteinian approach to the 'mystical' writings of a 'mystical theologian' such as Teresa of Avila reveals that rather than exhibiting an ontological mysticism these writings are better understood as enacting what are termed 'mystical strategies' or 'performative discourse'. The notion that both Wittgenstein and Teresa employ what are termed 'therapeutic or transformational strategies' to effect change in their readers is central to its argument. In this respect the thesis concludes that their writing is fundamentally transformational in character.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
Teresa Noce, rivoluzionaria professionale
No full textNoce è conosciuta come “rivoluzionaria professionale”, dal titolo della sua autobiografia, ma il percorso politico, sindacale e pure esistenziale della protagonista del Novecento oltrepassa ogni tipo di etichetta. Nata da una familia popolare, con un padre che si defila subito e una madre che deve allevare due figli, Teresa viene impiegata prima in un laboratorio di stireria, poi di sartoria insieme ad altre apprendiste e lavoranti. Qui conosce le asprezze delle condizioni di lavoro e i rapporti di sudditanza con il padronato, ma pure lo spirito di solidarietà fra le giovani donne. La prima esperienza la vede come operaia in una fabbrica di biscotti, ed è in questo impiego che si fa conoscere per la sua volontà di smascherare i soprusi padronali, mettendo in rilievo come la ribellione possa partire anche dal rifiuto della sottomissione femminile alla prepotenza maschile esercitata sul luogo di lavoro
Ecology and population connectivity of lamnid sharks in the Mediterranean Sea
No full textI grandi squali pelagici sono tra i vertebrati più minacciati a livello globale, e il Mar Mediterraneo rappresenta un contesto particolarmente critico, caratterizzato da forti pressioni di pesca, scarsità di dati e gestione inefficace. Sebbene lamnidi come lo squalo mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) e lo squalo bianco (Carcharodon carcharias) svolgano un ruolo essenziale come predatori apicali, nel Mediterraneo le loro dinamiche spaziali, la struttura di popolazione e le interazioni trofiche restano in gran parte sconosciute, con importanti implicazioni per la conservazione.
Questa tesi mira a colmare queste lacune integrando dati opportunistici, modelli spaziali, genomica, analisi isotopiche e approcci innovativi di campo, con l’obiettivo di migliorare la comprensione della distribuzione, della connettività e del ruolo ecologico dei grandi squali pelagici nel bacino. Il lavoro affronta tre temi principali: (i) la mancanza di informazioni affidabili sulla distribuzione e sulle tendenze spazio-temporali dello squalo mako, (ii) l’incertezza sulla connettività tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico orientale, e (iii) la quasi totale assenza di dati sulle interazioni trofiche tra i lamnidi mediterranei.
Il primo capitolo mira ad utilizzare dati opportunistici per modellarli tramite un approccio bayesiano, e produrre trend spazio-temporali in mediterraneo per il mako, corrette per lo sforzo di osservazione.
Il secondo capitolo applica un approccio ddRADseq per valutare struttura genetica, diversità e flusso genico del mako tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico, contribuendo a chiarire se la popolazione mediterranea debba essere considerata una unità gestionale distinta.
Il terzo capitolo analizza la nicchia trofica di mako e squalo bianco nel plateau tunisino attraverso isotopi stabili, fornendo la prima comparazione delle loro strategie alimentari nel Mediterraneo.
Il quarto capitolo mette in evidenza come gli approcci innovativi possano superare le difficoltà logistiche e la rarità degli incontri con gli squali pelagici.
Nel complesso, la tesi offre nuove basi scientifiche per la conservazione dei grandi squali pelagici nel Mediterraneo.Large pelagic sharks are among the most threatened vertebrates worldwide, and the Mediterranean Sea represents a particularly concerning case, where fishing pressures, data paucity, and weak management all merge together in the same area. Despite their ecological importance as apex predators, the status, distribution, and ecological role of large lamnid sharks such as the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) and the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) remain poorly understood in this basin, hampering the development of effective conservation strategies.
This PhD thesis aims to clarify the spatial dynamics, connectivity, and trophic roles of large pelagic sharks in the Mediterranean, with emphasis on shortfin mako and white sharks. By combining opportunistic data, statistical models, genomic analyses, trophic approaches, and innovative field methods, it tackles three main gaps: (i) uncertainty in spatiotemporal trends of shortfin mako occurrence, (ii) connectivity between Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic populations, and (iii) poorly known trophic interactions between co-occurring lamnids.
In the first chapter we obtained reliable abundance trends of shortfin makos in the Mediterranean by using opportunistic data and modelling them throgh a Bayesian spatial modelling framework (INLA). In the second chapter we used ddRADseq approach to investigate population structure, gene flow, and genetic diversity. This chapter contributes to clarifying whether Mediterranean makos should be managed as an independent unit or as part of a wider Atlantic stock.
The third chapter focuses on the ecological role of lamnid sharks in the Mediterranean, a topic for which empirical data are scarce, providing a first comparative trophic evaluation of juvenile white and mako sharks, clarifying whether they compete for similar resources or partition niches.
Finally, the fourth chapter highlights methodological innovations in the study of elusive pelagic sharks, drawing on the experience of the “White Shark Chase” project. Taken together, the chapters of this thesis aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the status, connectivity, and ecological role of large pelagic sharks in the Mediterranean Sea. By addressing fundamental gaps in distribution, genetics, and trophic ecology, and by testing innovative methodologies, this work contributes new insights and practical tools for the conservation of species that are regionally Critically Endangered and globally declining
Slides for the "Images of Borges: A Slide/Tape Program" by Teresa E. Regina
No full textThe slides for the "Images of Borges: A Slide/Tape Program" written and created by Teresa E. Regina. The presentation is in support of Terry Regina's Thesis, titled "Patterns of Borges", on Jorge Luis Borges' life and work as well as her trip to Argentina and meeting with the poet and author shortly before his death. There are 160 labelled slides in the program, though the text manuscript (see here: https://cdm16122.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15370coll2/id/26441) only outlines the text and use for the 145 slides. Also some of the numbers for the descriptions in the text for the program do not match up exactly to the slides, but the content seems to match up, so it appears to just be a numbering issue. Do be aware that there may be slides that are out of order in reference to the text manuscript. Towards the end, around slide 140, the slides tend to not follow the manuscript and there seem to be additional slides, including some photos of Jorge Luis Borges during Terry's visit. Titles on individual slides are taken from the text manuscript where able to be determined.For biographical information on Teresa E. Regina, see : https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/67.
For biographical information on Jorge Luis Borges, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/543.Physically within the collection the slides are divided into two folders, folder 4 (slides 001-080) and folder 5 (slides 081-160). The “Images of Borges” slides are divided into two folders, folder 4 (slides 001-080) and folder 5 (slides 081-160). The reason the slides are divided is solely due to maintain how they were donated and not necessarily to reflect how the presentation was conducted. Therefore, slides from both folders have been combined in this document.; Also items have been combined and not kept separate because it was a presentation or grouping that was created as a whole not as individual items. Where possible and known, metadata was created for individual slides.; There are 160 labelled slides in the program, though the text manuscript (see here: https://cdm16122.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15370coll2/id/26441) only outlines the text and use for the 145 slides. Also some of the numbers for the descriptions in the text for the program do not match up exactly
La tutela dei diritti degli immigrati nella prospettiva del confronto e del conflitto tra Stato e Regioni
No full textIl contributo ragiona della condizione giuridica del non cittadino e, in particolare, del godimento dei diritti, nella prospettiva del governo multilivello del fenomeno migratorio. Per questa ragione, il lavoro è dedicato ad analizzare, a partire dal riparto competenziale, gli interventi dei legislatori nazionale e regionale in questa materia. La ricostruzione, poi, prende necessariamente in considerazione gli interventi della Corte costituzionale, dal momento che questi ultimi precisano il perimetro delle competenze legislative e amministrative e contribuiscono in maniera decisiva all’individuazione del nucleo essenziale delle tutele di cui godono gli immigrati nell’ordinamento italiano. Le A. evidenziano l'esistenza di due dogmi, la "preferenza per i connazionali" e l"insindacabilità delle scelte allocative" che impediscono una piena realizzazione dei principi cosmopolitici a volte espressi dalla giurisprudenza costituzionale
Saint Teresa of Avila
No full textWith few exceptions, representations of Renaissance women were created by men. The Spanish saint, Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), who chose to represent herself, was one of those exceptions. What prompted her to write Book of Her Life, Interior Castle , and other works? What does the self-portrait of this sixteenth-century nun, mystic, and founder of convents reveal about its author, the church, state, and role of women? St. Teresa of Avila , an innovative analysis of Teresa's autobiographical writings, explores these and many other questions. Bringing to bear a knowledge of Inquisition studies, theory of autobiography, scriptural hermeneutics, and hagiography, Carole Slade defines Teresa's writings as a project of self-interpretation undertaken mainly as the result of the perceived, later realized, threat of an accusation of heresy. Being female and of paternal Jewish ancestry, Teresa was vulnerable to such a charge.Teresa's writing project presented her with serious difficulties. Judicial confession, her prescribed genre, presumed the writer's guilt, while the subordinate female script precluded a defense against the suspicion that her mystical experiences came from the devil. Through careful textual analysis, Slade demonstrates that Teresa exploited the nuances of numerous genres - hagiography, New World chronicle, mystical theological treatise, and early novel - to create an innocent textual persona and depict herself in heroic terms.A signal contribution to our understanding of Teresa's rhetorical and literary talent and life circumstances, this book will engage readers across a broad range of disciplines

I remember Miss Shizuko Kajikawa and the Seabrook Christian Church
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Teresa Masatani recalls her bible studies teacher, Mrs. Shizuko Kajikawa. She feels that Mrs. Kajikawa had a significant influence on her life because she was kind, tolerant, and loving. Teresa particularly liked bible study classes because Mrs. Kajikawa always offered peanut butter cookies and lemonade. Teresa also mentions that Mrs. Kajikawa acted like a surrogate parent to many Japanese children whose parents spent long hours working in the fields. During one summer, Teresa memorized 300 bible verses so that she could go to a free, week-long bible camp in Pennsylvania. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
