Adolescent Anticipatory Guidance

This project focuses on creating an educational resource specifically for adolescents and young adults regarding the anticipatory guidance for this age group. Although adolescence is generally a healthy time for most, many health or social problems will start or peak during this time. Therefore, it is a crucial time to incorporate preventive guidance and increase health literacy to avoid unhealthy chronic behaviors in adulthood.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1803/thumbnail.jp

Three level atom optics in dipole traps and waveguides

An analogy is explored between a setup of three atomic traps coupled via tunneling and an internal atomic three-level system interacting with two laser fields. Within this scenario we describe a STIRAP like process which allows to move an atom between the ground states of two trapping potentials and analyze its robustness. This analogy is extended to other robust and coherent transport schemes and to systems of more than a single atom. Finally it is applied to manipulate external degrees of freedom of atomic wave packets propagating in waveguides.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures; submitted to special issue 'Quantum Control of Light and Matter' of Optics Communication

abstracting the Monument: Architectural Representation for a Contemporary Institution

This thesis contends that a strategic, meaningful abstraction of the traditional principles of monumentality will create an architecture that is identifiable and communicative, and that can become contextual without the evocation of specific historic references

Sobre la molt primera tradició epigràfica valenciana

L'article analitza els primers autors (Pere Miquel Carbonell, Ermolao Barbaro, Jeroni Pau) i les primeres obres que citen inscripcions valencianes d'època romana. Tot seguit es posa en relació la informació present en aquestes obres amb la tradició de l'Antiquus i de l'Antiquissimus. Es conclou que el coneixement sobre l'epigrafia valenciana en el primer Renaixement entre els cercles humanístics italians i catalans és molt més ric i més antic del que tradicionalment es creia.On the very first Valencian epigraphic tradition. This article analyses the authors (Pere Miquel Carbonell, Ermolao Barbaro, Jeroni Pau) and their books, in which the Roman inscriptions from the ancient Kingdom of Valentia were first collected. This information is related to the tradition of the Antiquus and of the Antiquissimus (the first authors in the Hispanic epigraphic tradition as established by E. Hübner in CIL). From this analysis I deduce that the degree of knowledge of the epigraphy of Valentia among Italian and Catalan scholars of early Renaissance period was richer and older than has traditionally been supposed

The (de)politicisation of the educational problem. An ethnographic/genealogical study of school privatisation in a Chilean city

This thesis contributes to the agenda of de-neoliberalising education by developing a critique of the socio-cultural changes that the neoliberal turn has generated in Chilean society in relation to education. Framing the locus of observation at the level of a city, the research aim is to explore how school privatisation has transformed the modes in which people take part in every day and re-situated the production of the educational realm, through an analysis of how new practices and discourses gradually became the new truth at a local level. My general question regarding the effects of privatisation is who, in the city context, are allowed to problematise education, and where and how do these problematisations take place. The thesis draws upon an ethnographic/genealogical study focused on the city of Rancagua, which included twelve months of fieldwork between 2013 and 2014. The study has a double character, that is both to understand the local assemblage of discourses, practices and subjects that were shaping the school problem at this time, and to trace the historical processes that rendered this present possible, as well as intelligible. While each of the chapters concerned with ‘findings’ focus on specific subjects and urban dynamics affected by school privatisation, together they describe how education gradually ceased to be a public matter –a concern for the polis– becoming instead a de-politicised issue approached privately either as consumer or entrepreneur. On the other hand, the chapters also show that while the political dislocation of the educational question is very evident, both old and new social actors are beginning now to reclaim the right to problematise and make decisions about the daily production of education, as a social field that affects them both individually and collectively
