Situació de Màrius Torres en el context de la poesia europea de la primera meitat del segle xx
No full textThis article analyzes focuses on Màrius Torres’ situation in the context of European poetry in the first third of the twentieth century: as a reader and author, as a translator and with attention to his interest in great poetical trends of the time. The analysis is based on three elements: Màrius Torres’ poetry translations; his affinities with some significant European poets, and the commentary of some representative poems: «La màscara», «En el silenci obscur d'unes parpelles closes...», «Abendlied,» which illustrate the situation of his poetry in an European context

Gender and generation in native title
No full textWhile gender and age are often noted as being important dimensions of Indigenous leadership and governance, they have rarely been examined in detail. This paper focuses specifically on the gender and age of directors on the boards of prescribed bodies corporate (PBCs), the corporations established to hold and/or manage native title rights and interests.
A predominant view persists of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women as excluded or marginalised in native title. Statistical data for the year 2011–12 reveals, however, that women’s representation on PBC boards is higher than that found in mainstream sectors, while the literature reveals a complex picture of cultural, historical, demographic, institutional and intercultural factors that influence men’s and women’s participation and power in the native title arena.
A key generational concern is the relatively low number of older people and the growing number of young people in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Viewed in relation to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and projected changes, the pool of potential PBC directors looks likely to grow in coming years. This paper argues that, as an increasingly significant sector, PBCs have the potential to both contribute to and benefit from the strengthening of community capacity but this potential will not be realised until the constraints on the capacity of PBCs to meet their statutory obligations and pursue native title holder aspirations are addressed.

Building audiences: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts
No full textBuilding Audiences examines the barriers to and the strategies for increasing audiences in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts sector. This research investigates the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of current and potential audiences.
What is in the report?
The findings reveal the key barriers facing audience attendance include:
uncertainty about how to behave at cultural events and fear of offending
lack of awareness with audiences not actively seeking information about Indigenous arts
and outdated perceptions of the sector – that it is only perceived as ‘serious or educational’.
Building Audiences also considered several strategies to build audiences for Indigenous arts:
providing skills development, advice and resourcing to Indigenous practitioners within the arts sector;
increasing representation of Indigenous artists in the main programing of arts companies by including more Indigenous people in decision making roles;
promoting relationships between Indigenous arts and non-Indigenous companies to present their work to wider audiences;
introducing children and young people to Indigenous arts through schools and extracurricular activities;
allowing audiences to feel comfortable engaging by creating accessible experiences;
implementing long-term strategies to change negative perceptions of Indigenous arts.

Neuregulin-1/erbB activities with focus on the susceptibility of the heart to anthracyclines
No full textNeuregulin-1 (NRG1) signaling through the tyrosine kinase receptors erbB2 and erbB4 is required for cardiac morphogenesis, and it plays an essential role in maintaining the myocardial architecture during adulthood. The tyrosine kinase receptor erbB2 was first linked to the amplification and overexpression of erbb2 gene in a subtype of breast tumor cells, which is indicative of highly proliferative cells and likely a poor prognosis following conventional chemotherapy. The development of targeted therapies to block the survival of erbB2-positive cancer cells revealed that impaired NRG1 signaling through erbB2/erbB4 heterodimers combined with anthracycline chemotherapy may lead to dilated cardiomyopathy in a subpopulation of treated patients. The ventricular-specific deletion of either erbb2 or erbb4 manifested dilated cardiomyopathy, which is aggravated by the administration of doxorubicin. Based on the exacerbated toxicity displayed by the combined treatment, it is expected that the relevant pathways would be affected in a synergistic manner. This review examines the NRG1 activities that were monitored in different model systems, focusing on the emerging pathways and molecular targets, which may aid in understanding the acquired dilated cardiomyopathy that occurs under the conditions of NRG1-deficient signaling.Fil: Vasti, Cecilia.

The politics of divide: representation and the Torres Strait diaspora
No full textAustralia's Indigenous population is comprised of two related, but distinct cultural groups – Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders. The two groups have a shared history dating back to thousands of years of cultural exchange, trade and travel between the islands of the Torres Strait and mainland Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people also share a similar colonial history marked by oppression, displacement and forced removal from their ancestral homelands. Recently however, the extent of 'shared histories' between the two groups has taken a distinctive turn as government policy seeks to redefine the boundaries of who constitutes an Indigenous Australian. This redefinition of Indigenous Australia is evident in government policy relating to Torres Strait Islanders, and more specifically, Torres Strait Islanders who live outside the Torres Strait. This paper explores the contentious political and social landscape that pertains to Indigenous Australians, and in particular the role government policy plays in redefining and engineering the boundaries of inclusion of certain cultural groups, most notably Torres Strait Islanders. The author argues that Indigenous social policy (in the Australian context) is characterised by a complex and often contradictory interplay of social and cultural processes that have been constructed within the politics of identity, representation and 'people making'

"Making Them My Own": Student Affairs Master's Students Socialization To Professional Values
No full textThesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, School of Education, 2011Master's students' perceptions of and approaches to enacting student affairs values are not examined in the literature. Because students will be professionals in student affairs, it is important they can explain how they came to learn and demonstrate values core to this work. This study addressed four aspects of socialization to student affairs' values: graduate students' perceptions of essential student affairs values, the extent to which perceptions aligned with literature on student affairs' values (Young, 2003), how perceptions differ across functional areas, and socialization agents and processes that influenced views of values and their enactment.
Through a qualitative study combining aspects of phenomenology and narrative inquiry, impressions about student affairs values development were collected from 17 master's students. Students were second-semester, second-year participants in one of three distinct student affairs graduate preparation programs. Between February and April 2010, two separate interviews were conducted with each student. From transcriptions, narratives were developed to tell the story from each interview. Participants reviewed each narrative. The second interview included individualized questions based on participants' first-interview and narrative review.
Through analysis, the researcher interpreted 13 shared values of student affairs: diversity and inclusion, collaboration, learning, student centeredness, change and responsiveness, ethics, holistic student development, intentionality, community, service, professional development, caring, and responsibility. These values were mostly aligned with the literature on student affairs values (Young, 2003); however, some differences existed. Values not described by Young are change and responsiveness, collaboration, learning, and professional development. Participants perceived values appear to be shared across student affairs, but functional areas prioritize and enact them differently. Participants learned student affairs values and their enactment through 11 factors categorized as program-structured or self-directed. Program-structured included: assistantships and practica, supervisors, course work, faculty, guiding documents and professional standards, lessons on the historical role of student affairs, and cohort members. Self-directed included: participants' previous experiences, emerging approaches to enacting student affairs work, involvement in the broad student affairs profession, and the job search.
