LA EXPERIENCIA DE LA CORPORALIDAD EN IMÁGENES. PERCEPCIÓN DEL MUNDO, PRODUCCIÓN DE SENTIDOS Y SUBJETIVIDAD

Este artículo parte de la doble dimensión que desde la antropología y la sociología se reconoce al cuerpo como receptor y productor de significados culturales. El interés del mismo es reflexionar sobre el efecto de las imágenes mediáticas en la corporalidad en las sociedades contemporáneas. La doble dimensión se traslada, para el análisis que aquí nos interesa, al cuerpo representado y al cuerpo perceptor de su propia imagen, espejada en otros cuerpos. A los fines de este trabajo, consideraré los modos en que se asienta la relación de los sujetos con la corporalidad a partir de y a través de la imagen: a) el cuerpo como lugar de la experiencia perceptiva del mundo; b) el cuerpo como lugar de producción de sentidos sobre las imágenes de otros cuerpos; y c) el sujeto frente a las imágenes de su propio cuerpo

Exploring Partnerships Between Embedded Providers and Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program Directors

This research reveals the sentiments of faculty about the perceived support structures and barriers in place for them to develop new international education outbound student mobility programs on US campuses with third party providers embedded within the education abroad office. This increasingly attractive partnership model is unique in the field for the multitudinous collaboration that it employs. Data was collected through three separate surveys and a series of interviews. The sample totaled 26 faculty and over 330 students responding to the surveys and an additional fifteen faculty interviewees, the research suggests establishing some tools and venues for faculty and international education staff to better engage cooperatively in the process of campus internationalization. Keywords: faculty engagement, education abroad, collaboration, internationalizatio

The Montessori Alternative Program in the Millard Public Schools.

The Millard Public School District in Omaha, Nebraska offers a Montessori alternative program which is based upon the teachings and materials introduced by Maria Montessori in the late 1800’s. The Montessori method is a balance of structure and freedom that gives children a strong basis in their formative years for developing learning skills that will take them into later education and adulthood (Standing, 1962)

Signal processing for GC-MS measurements for biomarker identification

Breath analysis is a technique that is gaining importance in both industry and academia. Potentially, it is a non-invasive technique that will allow screening, diagnosing and monitoring of patients.Many studies have been performed in an attempt to make a distinction between healthy and sick patients by only studying their breath. It was proven successful for detecting lung and breast cancer, for identifying transplant rejection and for diagnosing liver disease among others.Ideally, it is Philips goal to develop a device that can take breath, process it and classify the patient as healthy or sick. Initially, this would be done for respiratory diseases, including asthma and sepsis with respiratory complications.However, processing breath is not simple. There is a spectrum of possible devices for analysis.Electronic noses are a great bedside alternative, while gas chromatography is ideal for research studies were the nature of the biomarkers should be found.Philips is involved in several studies within the next couple of years, for asthma and sepsis among others, and will process the samples with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).My objective was to provide a reliable software workflow for the analysis of the very complex GC-MS data, which could identify the molecules present in them and provide a reliable list of possible biomarkers as an output. This list would in the future be used to train classifiers for the mentioned diseases.The result of this project was a complete processing workflow, beginning with the use of a third party peak extraction software, followed by the customized design of a filtering and alignment solution.This combination provides a highly sensitive compound detection algorithm, a reliable peak quality filter and an accurate solution for comparison of multiple samples. Results are provided in a flexible manner for comprising a variety of classifier design possibilities.This solution can greatly contribute to the analysis GC-MS data for biomarker identification

An Improved Method for Obtaining Small Pressed Powder Pellets for the Analysis by XRF

A rapid, very low cost of instrumentation and simple approach to specimen preparation for the analysis by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is presented. This technique requires a few mg of powdered samples, which are compressed to produce pellets. This procedure is employed for determining major, minor and trace elements in muscovites and K-feldspars. Factors affecting measured intensities, such as particle size and distribution, surface texture, pelletizing pressure, etc, are considered. A description of the new sample preparation device, including technical characteristics, is also given. It is demonstrated that suitable specimen presentation to the X-ray beam is obtained by using our procedure.Fil: D`angelo, José Alejandro. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
