La cliometría en Colombia: una revolución interrumpida 1971-1999
Get PDFLa Historia Económica en Latinoamérica. Edición a cargo de Pablo Martín Aceña, Adolfo Meisel, Carlos Newland.Editada en la Fundación Empresa PúblicaEste artículo discute los desarrollos en los estudios sobre historia económica
de Colombia en los últimos cincuenta años a través de cinco trabajos
fundamentales. Durante este periodo los estudios en este campo han estado
dominados por el marxismo, la historia institucional tradicional, los Annales
y la dependencia. Sin embargo, en la década de 1990 se ha producido una
pérdida de interés por este tema de parte de los historiadores y, simultáneamente,
una producción creciente de los economistas que trabajan dentro de
la tradición neoclásica.This articles surveys the developments in the field of Colombian economic
history in the last fifty years, through a discussion of five fundamental books.
It is shown how these studies has been dominated by marxism, traditional
institutional history, Annales, and dependency. However, in the 1990's there
has been a shift away firom the field on the part of historians and an increasing
amount of research on the part of economists working within the neoclasical

Good Night, Bat! : Good Morning, Squirrel! by P. Meisel
No full textMeisel, Paul. Good Night, Bat! : Good Morning, Squirrel! Highlights, 2016.Paul Meisel, Geisel Honor award winning author and illustrator, creates a humorous story about friendship and miscommunication. This fictional picture book follows homeless Bat on his journey to finding the perfect new home. Through whimsical mis-read notes the friendship between Bat and Squirrel blossoms.The literary content in this story is invaluable for young readers. Meisel demonstrates the complexities of the English language by playing with simple words and phrases while demanding that readers also read the images. This play on words offers a charming world in which young children can explore and expand upon their vocabulary.Complimenting this hilarious story are illustrations that demand the reader’s attention. At a first glance, the visuals appear gloomy due to the brown, green and grey tones. However, the expressions of Bat and Squirrel, along with the simple but easily misunderstood leaf note’s enable young readers to become enthralled in the world of Bat and Squirrel.Combining the two essential features of playing with language and reading illustrations, Good Night, Bat! Good Morning, Squirrel! is an essential read-aloud story for any early childhood classroom.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Leah Den HaanLeah Den Haan is a grade one French immersion teacher with Edmonton Public Schools.

Common methods of measuring ‘informed choice’ in screening participation: Challenges and future directions
No full textThere is general agreement among public health practitioners, academics, and policymakers that people offered health screening tests should be able to make informed choices about whether to accept. Robust measures are necessary in order to gauge the extent to which informed choice is achieved in practice and whether efforts to improve it have succeeded. This review aims to add to the literature on how to improve methods of measuring informed choice. We discuss and critique commonly-used approaches and outline possible alternative methods that might address the issues identified. We explore the challenges of defining what information should be provided about screening and hence understood by service users, appraise the use of ‘thresholds’ to define e.g. positive attitudes towards screening, and describe problems inherent in conceptualising ‘informed choice’ as a single dichotomous outcome that either does or does not occur. Suggestions for future research include providing greater detail on why particular aspects of screening information were considered important, analysing knowledge and attitude measures at an ordinal or continuous level (avoiding problematic decisions about dichotomising data in order to set thresholds), and reconceptualising informed choice as a multifactorial set of outcomes, rather than a unitary one
Historical organic dyes : a surface-enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) database on Ag Lee-Meisel colloids aggregated by NaClO4
No full textIn the present study, several natural organic dyes used in antiquity, especially in textile dyeing, were analysed by surfaceenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy, in order to build a wide database that could integrate the data previously published in the literature. In particular,we reported for the first time the SERS spectra of 11 dyes: dragon’s blood, sandalwood, annatto, safflower yellow and red, old fustic, gamboge, catechu, kamala, aloe and sap green. Silver colloids (Ag colloids) prepared according to the Lee–Meisel procedure, i.e. by reduction of a silver nitrate (AgNO3) aqueous solution with trisodium citratedihydrate,were used as substrate. As its efficiency had been tested in a previous work, sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) 1.8 M was again employed as aggregating agent, giving the best results when added to the silver nanoparticles after the analyte

On the emergence of verb paradigms in one spanish child
No full textThis paper studies the acquisition process of Spanish verbal morphology in a monolingual child. The study focuses on the period of the first 50 verb lemmas. This covers the period from age 1;7 till 1;10.
The data shows that the verb acquisition process of this Spanish child follows three main stages:
1. A lexical stage in which verbs are only acquired as a lexical element.
2. A syntactic stage in which the verb, still contemplated as a non-split word, becomes the main element in the development of thematic and semantic relations.
3. A morphological stage in which verb suffixes begin to be analysed separately. At this stage, the relationship between form and meaning starts and the functional categories linked to the verb (tense, aspect, agreement, mood... ) begin to be acquired. Just at this moment, the first miniparadigms appear, which suggests that the acquisition process of verb morphology has started.
The first two stages are premorphological and cover in our child the period till 1;9. In the last stage, which begins at 1;10, the child enters the protomorphological stage
Un film peut en cacher un autre. À propos des différentes versions du Cuirassé Potemkine et de la réapparition de la mise en musique d’Edmund Meisel
Get PDFLe Cuirassé Potemkine d’Eisenstein connut, lors de sa distribution en Allemagne, un accompagnement musical dû au compositeur Edmund Meisel qui fit sensation et enthousiasma le réalisateur quand il put l’entendre. Cet accompagnement mythique, perdu puis retrouvé, donna lieu à des projections-concerts dans les dernières décennies. Cependant la découverte récente au Musée des techniques de Vienne de disques appartenant à la version sonorisée du film lors de sa ressortie en 1931 est un événement sans doute plus important : c’est Meisel lui-même qui reprit sa partition, introduisit des chœurs chantés par la troupe de Piscator, dans cette version « oubliée » du film dont on avait retranché les cartons pour en faire un film sonore. L’auteur retrace l’ensemble de la question des différentes versions du film et des différentes musiques qu’on lui adjoignit, question qui révèle bien d’autres enjeux que simplement musicaux : idéologiques, politiques, économiques.Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin, when shown in Germany, was accompanied by a musical composition by Edmund Meisel, which thrilled audiences and its director, upon hearing it. The rediscovery of this mythic accompaniment has given way to several silent film concerts over the past few decades. Yet, the recent unearthing at the Vienna Museum of Technology of records from the 1931 synchronized sound release is an even more important event. In this « forgotten » sound version of the film, whose subtitles had been removed, Meisel himself reworked his score and introduced choruses sung by the Piscator company. The author retraces the question of different film versions and their associated music, a question that reveals many other stakes beyond music : ideological, political, economic
