Aproximación metodológica aplicada a la interpretación de la obra Runa y análisis de Runa Hatariy del compositor Daniel Flores.
No full textEn el presente trabajo de investigación, se ponen a consideración aspectos característicos de la música de la comunidad de Kotama, relacionados con la interpretación de Runa y el análisis de Runa Hatariy del compositor Daniel Flores, que tienen como referencia la cosmovisión y prácticas musicales de dicha comunidad. La premisa que guía el trabajo es que para interpretar una obra musical, es importante conocer el contexto que la inspiró, para lo cual se tiene como referencia la teoría de redes de Bruno Latour. En este caso, el intérprete recrea dicho contexto, ahondando en la memoria de la tradición oral y escrita, el análisis y ejecución de la partitura. Además, el intérprete accede a este contexto desde la experiencia propia con la música de Kotama, sus comuneros y el compositor Daniel Flores. En cada capítulo se describe a los actantes que conforman esta red para la interpretación de las obras, así como se detallarán los recursos musicales de Kotama a aplicarse en la interpretación. Los saberes de Kotama transmitidos por la oralidad, desde la generosidad de los comuneros, se podrán hallar de manera condensada en este trabajo. Este material se presenta como una posible interpretación de la obra Runa y como un instrumento para acercarse al análisis de Runa Hatariy, esperando que al mismo tiempo responda interrogantes acerca de la interpretación musical y nutra la curiosidad, la investigación y la experimentación interpretativa. Se incluye un registro audio-visual de la interpretación de la obra Runa, realizada por el autor de este trabajo.In this research work, characteristic aspects of the music of the Kotama community are considered, related to the interpretation of Runa and the analysis of Runa Hatariy by composer Daniel Flores, which have as a reference the worldview and musical practices of said community. The guiding premise of this work is that to interpret a musical work, it is important to understand the context that inspired it, drawing on Bruno Latour's network theory. In this case, the performer recreates this context, delving into the memory of oral and written tradition, and analyzing and performing the score. Furthermore, the performer accesses this context through their own experience with Kotama music, its community members, and composer Daniel Flores. Each chapter describes the actors who make up this network for the interpretation of the works, as well as details of the Kotama musical resources used in the performance. The Kotama knowledge transmitted orally, through the generosity of the community members, can be found in a condensed form in this work. This material is presented as a possible interpretation of the work "Runa" and as a tool for approaching the analysis of Runa Hatariy. It is hoped that it will simultaneously answer questions about musical interpretation and foster curiosity, research, and interpretative experimentation. An audio-visual recording of the performance of the work "Runa" by the author of this work is included.PregradoLicenciado(a) en Artes Musicale
Just like humans
No full textIn this chapter, the author draws on the phenomenological distinction between empathy and sympathy, since she finds it useful to advance some claims about Runa ways of experiencing nonhuman others – yet, she does not believe that people can distinguish between “empathy” and “sympathy” at all times and in all contexts. In shedding light on Runa “empathic-like” processes towards nonhumans and specific cultural understandings about humans’ relationship with animals, the author constantly contrasts her ethnographic materials with research done in Western countries on human–animal relationships. This comparative material “closer to home” comes from research in developmental psychology and the cognitive sciences, as well as from the author's observations of foreign visitors in Runa villages. If empathy consists of the recognition of others as minded creatures like people, a question which needs to be addressed regards the nature of this perceived “alikeness”
Modification of Existing Permeameters to Estimate Hydraulic Conductivity of Groundwater in Unconsolidated Sand in the Laboratory
No full textModification of Existing Permeameters to Estimate Hydraulic Conductivity of Groundwater in Unconsolidated Sand in the Laboratory is a master thesis written by Runa Aronsen Solberg in the spring of 2018. The thesis is the final work of the course TPG4920 Petroleum Engineering, Master s Thesis, at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The thesis is a continuation of the author s specialization project completed during autumn 2017. The thesis contains a total of 116 pages.
Hydraulic conductivity describes how easily a fluid is transported through a porous medium and can be estimated using several methods. A simple and cost-efficient method used to estimate hydraulic conductivity is by permeameter testing in the laboratory. It has proved to be a challenge to estimate hydraulic conductivity in the laboratory because the sample material does not represent an undisturbed "in situ" material in the field, because the grain structure of the sample is disturbed during the drilling process of groundwater wells and when transported from the well to the laboratory. The objective of this thesis is to modify 3 already existing permeameters; the Darcy-cell, the air permeameter and the liquid permeameter (the latter 2 collectively called core permeameters), to better calculate the hydraulic conductivity of groundwater in unconsolidated sand in the laboratory. The purpose of this is to obtain results for hydraulic conductivity of groundwater that can be used as an estimate of the in-situ hydraulic conductivity in unconsolidated sand in the field.
The smallest average value of hydraulic conductivity is estimated using the liquid permeameter with a value of 2,19×〖10〗^(-6) m/s, followed by the air permeameter with a value of 2,25×〖10〗^(-5) m/s. The largest value was estimated using the Darcy -cell with an average of 1,26×〖10〗^(-3) m/s. The results show that it is not possible to use the modified core permeameters to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of groundwater in unconsolidated sand. Further modifications of the setup and collection of more data is needed. The modified Darcy-cell provides the most reliable values for hydraulic conductivity, but methods of fully saturating the sample needs to be further investigated to obtain results for hydraulic conductivity of groundwater that can be used as an estimate of the in-situ hydraulic conductivity of unconsolidated sand in the field

Analyzing the Role of Fast Charging Infrastructure on EV Adoption in Multi-Unit Residential Buildings: An Analysis Using Structural Equation Modelling
No full text2025At the request of the author, this work is not available to view until April 23, 2026
This study examines the impact of charging infrastructure on electric vehicle (EV) adoption, focusing on the utilization of Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFCs) among residents of multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) and non-MURBs in the City of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Using structural equation modelling, three models were tested to determine how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control influence EV adoption and DCFC utilization. Data were gathered through an online survey of 2,599 respondents. The findings show that the use of DCFC positively impacts the intention to adopt EVs, however, attitudes toward EVs appear to have a higher influence on the intention to adopt an EV, particularly among MURB residents. For DCFC utilization, perceived behavioural control emerges as a key factor, having a dominant effect on MURB and non-MURB residents. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to increase attitudes and perceived behavioural control among MURB and non-MURB residents

Bisphenol-A suppresses neurite extension due to inhibition of phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase in PC12 cells
No full textAn endocrine disrupter, bisphenol-A is widely used in the production of plastics and coatings. Recently, it was reported that bisphenol-A affected neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain. On the basis of these reports, it was considered that bisphenol-A affected neuronal differentiation. In this study, the morphological changes in nerve growth factor (NFG)-induced differentiation caused by bisphenol-A were confirmed using a PC12 cell system. When a low concentration of bisphenol-A was added to medium containing NGF, it inhibited neurite extension. In addition, to clarify whether bisphenol-A affects the early and late stages of the NGF-signaling pathway in cell differentiation, changes of phosphorylation of MAP kinases and cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) in PC12 cells treated with and without BPA in medium containing NGF were investigated using western blot analysis. As results, bisphenol-A significantly inhibited phosphorylation of CREB and ERK1/2 MAPK
