Etnografia della transizione culturale nelle comunità San del Kalahari
Full text linkDuring her palaeoanthropological and ethnoarchaeological research at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, between 2007 and 2014, Lucinda Backwell privately collected a significant amount of objects produced by the San communities who currently live in Kalahari reserves, assigned to them by the governments of Botswana and Namibia: the villages around Tsumkwe, in the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, the village of Kacgae in the district of Ghanzi and the Transfrontier Park on the border between Botswana and South Africa. Initially motivated by the desire to offer some economic support to the communities by purchasing some products of their craftsmanship, the author realized that it would be important to document the culture of the San and the elements in transition. With this in mind, she put together a collection of over 400 artifacts, which in 2018 she donated to the Natural History Museum of Florence. This work aims to document the collection and highlight its ethnographic meaning, considering the archaeological traces that attest to the antiquity of the San culture, and the evidence on the current living conditions of a people threatened in their survival.Fil: Zavattaro, Monica.

No full textThis research explores the themes of feminism in a novel written by Lucinda Race entitled “Books and Bribes” in 2023. This novel focuses Lily, the main character’s investigation in a murder case. Lily has a role of female detective in this novel. In this research, the author analyzes how the female characters in this novel, particularly Lily, are capable of doing investigation of murder case without too much reliance on the male characters. By doing close reading, this research uses the qualitative method and descriptive analysis to analyze the novel. The data and primary source of this research is the novel itself. In this research, the author analyzes how women’s independence as one of the sub topic for feminism displayed throughout the story. This research discovered that women’s independence in this novel are displayed in two ways. The first one is witch as the representation of feminism, and the second is independent relationship
Advanced Iridium-Based Catalysts: Design and Characterization for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers
No full textTitle: Advanced Iridium-Based Catalysts: Design and Characterization for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers. Author: Mgr. Lucinda Blanco Redondo. Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University. Supervisor: Mgr. Yevheniia Lobko, Ph.D. Abstract: Developing efficient and durable bifunctional catalysts is essential for advancing hydrogen production and energy storage technologies, including Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers (PEMWE) and Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells (URFCs). This doctoral thesis investigates iridium-based catalysts, focusing on iridium-decorated platinum nanoparticles for URFCs and titanium-supported iridium nanoparticles for PEMWEs. Iridium-decorated platinum nanoparticles with several Ir-to-Pt ratios (Ir10/Pt90, Ir20/Pt80, and Ir40/Pt60) were studied to determine the catalyst composition that optimizes the performance for oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution reactions (OER). Among these, Ir40/Pt60 exhibited the highest OER mass activity (571.4 mA mgIr⁻¹), while Ir20/Pt80 demonstrated enhanced bifunctional efficiency (57.7%), making it the most promising URFC catalyst. For PEMWEs, iridium nanoparticles supported on TiO2, TiC, and TiN were evaluated. Ir/TiO2 and Ir/TiC achieved improved OER..
Material property relationships for pipeline steels and the potential for application of NDE
Full text linkThe oil and gas industry in the USA has an extensive infrastructure of pipelines, 70% of which were installed prior to 1980, and almost half were installed during the 1950s and 1960s. Ideally the mechanical properties (i.e. yield strength, tensile strength, transition temperature, and fracture toughness) of a steel pipe must be known in order to respond to detected defects in an appropriate manner. Neither current in-ditch methods nor the ILI inspection data have yet determined and map the desired mechanical properties with adequate confidence. In the quest to obtain the mechanical properties of a steel pipe using a nondestructive method, it is important to understand that there are many inter-related variables. This paper reports a literature review and an analysis of a sample set of data. There is promise for correlating the results of NDE measurement modalities to the information required to develop relationships between those measurements and the mechanical measurements desired for pipelines to ensure proper response to defects which are of significant threat.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.

Enforcing the Sexual Laws: An Agenda for Action
No full textResources for Feminist Research, Vol. 3, No. 4, pp. 44-45, 1985
In this brief article, written in 1984 and published the following year, Lucinda Vandervort sets out a comprehensive agenda for enforcement of sexual assault laws in Canada. Those familiar with her subsequent writing are aware that the legal implications of the distinction between the “social” and “legal” definitions of sexual assault, identified here as crucial for interpretation and implementation of the law of sexual assault, are analyzed at length in “Mistake of Law and Sexual Assault: Consent and Mens Rea” (1986), published at (1987-88) 2(2) Canadian Journal of Women and the Law, 233 309. In that article the author argued that most mistakes about consent are not mistakes about a “fact” that may sometimes negative mens rea, but are actually mistakes about the law that afford accused no excuse under either Canadian common law or statutory criminal law. She argued further that consent must be interpreted as “voluntary agreement” and must be affirmatively and unequivocally communicated in order to operate as an effective waiver of a person’s legal right to be free from interference with his or her bodily integrity. That article was a central reference point in the consultations leading to the 1992 amendments to the sexual assault provisions in the Canadian Criminal Code and in some key decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada in sexual assault cases in the 1990’s. As a result of a gradual transformation of theoretical analysis of the law of mens rea and consent in Canada, culpable awareness is now understood by many jurists and criminal law theorists quite differently than it was twenty-five years ago.
As Vandervort acknowledged in her 1984 Agenda for Action, however, clarity in legal theory and legal doctrine is no guarantee of how sexual assault laws will operate in practice. Theory and practice, doctrine and its implementation, often diverge. This phenomenon is still seen in some decisions taken at the trial, pre-trial, and pre-charge stages in sexual assault cases. Police, prosecutors, and many trial judges, like accused, may often be influenced by traditional attitudes about sexual consent and mistaken about the law of consent. Accordingly, in her recent work Vandervort re-visits and re-examines the exercise of discretion by police, prosecutors, and the judiciary. An example is her 2009 article “Legal Subversion of the Criminal Justice Process? Judicial, Prosecutorial and Police Discretion in R. v. Edmondson, Kindrat and Brown” in Sexual Assault Law, Practice & Activism in a Post-Jane Doe Era, edited by Elizabeth Sheehy (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 2012). In this and some of her other recent work, the distinctions between social and legal norms and questions of fact and law, previously analyzed with the objective of clarifying the law, are used to control the effects of social ignorance and partiality in the handling of sexual assault complaints by decision-makers in the criminal justice system at trial and pre-trial. Lucinda Vandervort’s published and unpublished legal and philosophical writings on sexual assault and sexual assault law illustrate the development of a socio-legal scholar’s “Agenda for Action” into a principled, pragmatic, open-ended exercise in “institutional design.” Across two centuries, from the revolutionary era of the 18th century to the present, other radical egalitarians would recognize both the impetus for the project and many features of the political and cultural resistance to it
