    The establishment of the Ecuadorian State, which took place in 1830, signified a political and cultural need to articulate the identity and memory of this new nation. This meant that a new collective imaginary had to be built, to sustain the scope of change the emancipation process brought forward. Such necessity was notably seen in the State’s capital, where it was built with the transcendent objective of displacing little by little the cluster of beliefs and values that nurtured colonial life. Thus, it marked a break that drove towards the creation of a new –republican- spirit. It is in the interest of this paper to investigate the ritual quality associated with this process of transition, understanding by it that a series of liturgical resources remained active in the public sphere, as a way to facilitate the construction of a collective memory. Specifically, it is quite suggestive to take into account the use of the image or commemorative effigy as the central axis of the ritual. The liturgical nature was palpable around the image in the form of the address/preach and parade/procession. From such characteristics, we could develop the hypothesis that religious recourses played a fundamental part in the assimilation of civic principles for the first generations that occupied the newly autonomous national territory. During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, commemorative sculpture positioned itself without question as a vital pedagogical tool for those segments of the population that were illiterate. The use of visual resources as a fast and meaningful way of communicating complex ideas had already been used with much success in religious contexts since colonial times. Thus, both senders and receivers of the new message quite smoothly accomplished the transition from one type of content to another, through the preservation of its form. It maintained some of its structure while recombining in multiple possible manners that responded to the expectations and needs of the historical period. Furthermore, such morally charged commemorative effigies were introduced to the public spaces that the new State was slowly claiming. This allowed the public to navigate communal spaces in new ways, being always attentive to the sites of memory, which brought to the collective discussion the type of identity traits that they should possess as a society. This opportunity, as well as a series of festivities that were deeply related to the public appropriation of communal spaces, included the regular citizen quite actively in the process of memory construction, something that they had not experimented up to that moment. The Monument to Sucre is a remarkable example of this process, where despite the fact that the social elite was the one that carefully selected the symbolic traits that were to be promoted about this character, the community as a whole participated in a massive festivity that generated an active relationship between this object of veneration and the appropriation of the public space.La fundación del Estado ecuatoriano, en 1830, representó la necesidad política y cultural de articular la identidad y memoria del nuevo Estado-nación, construyendo un nuevo imaginario colectivo que se encontrara en correspondencia con la relevancia del proceso de emancipación. Tal necesidad –principalmente observable en la esfera capitalina– se construía con el objetivo trascendental de desplazar paulatinamente el conjunto de creencias y valores que nutrían la vida colonial, para marcar así un quiebre que condujera hacia el desarrollo de un espíritu acorde al nuevo contexto republicano. Resulta de particular interés para este trabajo indagar acerca de la cualidad ritual ligada a este proceso de transición, entendiendo por ella el hecho de que una serie de recursos litúrgicos permanecieron activos en la esfera pública como habilitadores de la construcción de una memoria colectiva. Específicamente, nos resulta sugestivo considerar la utilización de una imagen o efigie conmemorativa como eje central del ritual, alrededor de la cual giran prácticas asociadas a la liturgia, como los discursos/sermones y recorridos/procesiones. A partir de ello podríamos formular la hipótesis de que los recursos religiosos funcionaron como una pieza clave en la asimilación de las metas de comportamiento cívico para las primeras generaciones que vivieron en nuestro recién formulado territorio nacional. En el contexto de las últimas dos décadas del siglo XIX, la escultura conmemorativa sin duda se configuró como un método pedagógico en un medio en el cual la alfabetización no había llegado a las mayorías. Este uso del recurso visual para comunicar ideas complejas con pregnancia y rapidez ya había sido utilizado exitosamente en contextos religiosos desde la época colonial, por lo cual el tránsito de un contenido a otro, entendiéndose como el sujeto de admiración o devoción para los fieles/ciudadanos, resultó bastante fácil de circular tanto para los creadores como para los consumidores de contenido, recombinándose en una multiplicidad de matices en virtud de las expectativas y necesidades del momento histórico. Adicionalmente, la introducción de tales imágenes conmemorativas imbuidas de un discurso moral en espacios públicos que el Estado estaba captando paulatinamente, permitió al público navegar el espacio de nuevas maneras, siempre atentos de los sitios de la memoria que traían al pensamiento y la discusión colectivos cuáles eran los nuevos rasgos identitarios que poseían como comunidad. Esta posibilidad, así como las grandes festividades asociadas a la apropiación pública de nuevos espacios, integraban al ciudadano común al proceso de construcción de la memoria de una manera bastante activa, que hasta hacía poco nunca había experimentado. Ejemplo ilustrativo de ello es el caso del monumento a Sucre, donde si bien fue la élite la que discutió y seleccionó cuidadosamente los rasgos del prócer que debían ser promovidos para ser plasmados iconográficamente en un medio que sea cohesivo con un discurso oficialista, la comunidad participó en una festividad masiva para generar un vínculo activo con este nuevo objeto de veneración y espacio público

    Tesis (Trabajo Social)La presente investigación está centrada conocer “La significación que le dan los artistas migrantes a su trayectoria artística”, es decir, se quiere conocer su vida y experiencias personales. Dándole a la temática migración y artista la visibilización y promoción. La investigación se enfocará en conocer como los artistas migrantes significan su trayectoria artística, y en el transcurso de la investigación se espera llegar a como los artistas migrantes durante su tiempo de inserción en Chile han ido significando su trayectoria y desarrollo de su arte. No solo desde el punto de vista artístico, si no desde una visión personal del proceso y evolutivo de su arte. También poder analizar y comparar las trayectorias artísticas, observando si se repite un patrón en el proceso artístico, indicando que es necesario comercializar su arte para darse a conocer. Lo anterior estará orientado específicamente a conocer que aspecto consideran más importante dentro de su proceso artístico desde su decisión de migrar, su llegada a Chile y su asentamiento en el país. Como este proceso influye en el arte que ellos expresan hasta su identidad. En una primera instancia para el fundamento de la investigación, se presentarán tres teorías para su complementación, las cuales son; la teoría de la migración internacional; teoría de las relaciones interculturales; y la teoría de la significación. Continuando con la presentación de esquemas que ayudan a comprender las trayectorias de los artistas migrantes. Para finalizar con el análisis de las entrevistas y sus respectivos resultados y conclusiones

    Evaluation of a Gypsy/Traveller Community Health Worker service:Final Report

    This report evaluates the two-year Community Health Worker (CHW) service in Scotland delivered by a third sector organisation, Minority Ethnic Carers of People Project (MECOPP), which provided training to Gypsy/Travellers to advocate for their community on health and social care issues. The service, which was created as part of the Scottish Government and COSLA's joint action plan to address inequalities faced by Gypsy/Travellers , was designed with the intention to improve their health and wellbeing. Funding for the service was secured by The Scottish Public Health Network and the Directorate for Chief Medical Officer. The evaluation was conducted by the Mother and Infant Research Unit (MIRU) at the School of Health Sciences, University of Dundee, and covered the initial two-year period from August 2021 to August 2023.There has been extensive evidence showing that Gypsy/Travellers residing in the UK tend to face significant health disparities, resulting in outcomes that are not as favourable as those of the general population and other similarly disadvantaged groups.Gypsy/Travellers face high rates of homelessness, inadequate education, unemployment, poverty, and regular experiences of racism and discrimination . This profoundly affects their mental health and overall well-being. Additionally, the potential for lack of trust between Gypsy/Travellers and healthcare professionals impacts health seeking behaviour and health service provision, as there are also barriers in accessing responsive health services and preventative care interventions.Evidence indicates that community-based lay roles can improve healthcare access, reduce costs, and promote knowledge exchange between communities and health services through trusted individuals . This project aimed to evaluate the implementation of the Gypsy/Traveller CHW service, including barriers and facilitators, and make recommendations for its future scale-up. Objectives included describing the roles and activities of the CHWs, exploring the acceptability and feasibility of the service, identifying implementation barriers and facilitators, describing any modifications made, and examining the perceived benefits and disadvantages of the CHW service

    Existence of positive solutions for a parameter fractional pp-Laplacian problem with semipositone nonlinearity

    In this paper we prove the existence of at least one positive solution for the nonlocal semipositone problem {(Δ)ps(u)=λf(u)in  Ωu=0in  RNΩ, \displaystyle \left\{\begin{array}{rcll} (-\Delta)_p^s(u) &=& \lambda f(u) \qquad & \text{in} \ \ \Omega \\u &=& 0 & \text{in} \ \ \mathbb{R}^N -\Omega , \end{array}\right. whenever λ>0\lambda >0 is a sufficiently small parameter. Here ΩRN\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N a bounded domain with C1,1C^{1,1} boundary, 2p<N2\leqslant p <N, s(0,1)s\in (0,1) and ff superlineal and subcritical. We prove that if λ>0\lambda>0 is chosen sufficiently small the associated Energy Functional to the problem has a mountain pass structure and, therefore, it has a critical point uλu_\lambda, which is a weak solution. After that we manage to prove that this solution is positive by using new regularity results up to the boundary and a Hopf's Lemma

    Trabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade, Departamento de Ciências Contábeis e Atuariais, Bacharelado em Ciências Contábeis, 2016.Em 1998 foi aprovada a lei que regulamenta e qualifica as Organizações Sociais, tendo como principais benefícios o reconhecimento da imunidade tributária, isenção de impostos e contribuições e repasse de recursos públicos. A partir desta concessão, algumas entidades necessitam realizar provisões tributárias, logo, o objetivo da pesquisa foi descrever as principais motivações que originaram as ações judiciais, exigindo o pagamento de autuações fiscais. Para discorrer sobre o assunto, foi necessário analisar os relatórios de gestão e demonstrativos financeiros, dos anos de 2010 a 2015, das oito Organizações que mantém contrato de gestão com a Federação. O estudo foi caracterizado como uma pesquisa qualitativa, explicativa e bibliográfica. Foi identificado que a principal motivação para o reconhecimento de provisões está relacionada ao não reconhecimento, por parte do Fisco Federal, Estadual e/ou Municipal, da qualificação destas entidades. O estudo contribuiu para a compreensão dos temas abordados e também para o entendimento sobre as provisões tributárias reconhecidas pelas Organizações Sociais.In 1998 a law was approved and it regulates and qualifies Social Organizations, the main benefits are recognition of tax immunity, exemption from taxes and contributions and transfer of public resources. From this concession, some entities need to do tax provisions, soon, the objective of the research is to describe the main reasons that led to lawsuits demanding the payment of tax assessments. To discuss the topic, it was necessary to analyze the management reports and financial statements from 2010 to 2015 of eight Social Organizations that keeps management contract with the Federation. It was identified that the main motivation for the realization of provisions is related to the non-recognition of tax immunity by the competent parts. In addition, it was also presented the main concepts about taxes made by the tax immunity in the third sector entities
