Run For Your Life

1. Produce an EP called “5”, the number five has a lot of significance in my life and also is the number associated with communication, and I would like to communicate through music. 2. Create a Mobile App/ Running campaign “Run for your life”. This goal is related to the song “Run Chata Run” a very special song to me because I created it while running next to my friend Chata, whose story is related in the lyrics.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-production-technology/1052/thumbnail.jp

Nariai--Bertotti--Robinson spacetimes as a building material for one-way wormholes with horizons, but without singularity

We discuss the problem of wormholes from the viewpoint of gluing together two Reissner--Nordstr\"om-type universes while putting between them a segment of the Nariai-type world (in both cases there are also present electromagnetic fields as well as the cosmological constant). Such a toy wormhole represents an example of one-way topological communication free from causal paradoxes, though involving a travel to next spacetime sheet since one has to cross at least a pair of horizons through which the spacetimes' junction occurs. We also consider the use of thin shells in these constructions. Such a ``material'' for wormholes we choose taking into account specific properties of the Nariai--Bertotti--Robinson spacetimes.Comment: 5 pages, a talk delivered at the 11th Marcel Grossmann Meeting (2006

Transborder Testimonios of Language Learning and Socialization

This qualitative study utilizes a Chicana/Latina feminist lens and the Latin American tradition of Testimonio to explore Spanish-speaking immigrants’ experiences of migration, language learning and socialization, paying close attention to the ways in which the multilayered intersections of identity, race, class, gender, nationality, language, citizenship and power shape these experiences. In the context of a grassroots English as a Second Language class, testimonios are elicited through multimodal data collection methods, including visual, oral and written forms. Critical perspectives of second language learning and second language socialization research in bilingual contexts provide a multidisciplinary framework for this study, bridging conceptual parallels between these distinct paradigms. Outcomes of the analysis illuminate our understandings of the complex demands adult immigrants face while learning to navigate and adopt new linguistic systems and to perform unfamiliar socially and culturally sanctioned norms and behaviors. In the midst of an increasingly anti-immigrant rhetoric and multiple sites of oppression stemming from racist social systems and institutions that permeate everyday life, Testimonios as personal accounts, validate knowledge constructed through lived experiences, and assist in the expression of collective marginalization as well as alternative narratives of resistance. Embedded in Chicana and Latin American decolonial feminist thought, this dissertation approaches research as social activism and transformation to interrupt the silence imposed on disenfranchised immigrants so that their stories inform and educate grassroots community organizers, educators, language scholars, and policy makers

Spectroscopic imaging of novel correlated electronic phases

This works studies novel emergent quantum phases. Here, the local electronic structure of a spin-orbit assisted Mott insulator, Sr₂IrO₄ and of the member of the iron-based superconductors (IBS), Li doped NaFeAs, are investigated using low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S)

Between metals and treads: an archaeometric approach to metallic artefacts from yaguachi chiefdom burials (Guayas Basin, Ecuador)

ABSTRACT: The Yaguachi chiefdom was one of the largest groups in the region prior and during Spanish contact. The Yaguachi polity was part of the Milagro-Quevedo archaeological culture, who occupied the entire Guayas Basin in the central and southwestern Ecuador between Guayaquil and the Andes during the Integration (800-1400 CE) and early Hispanic Period. This was a highly organized society with a complex political and social organization, evidence of long distance trade, metal jewelry, mound construction and chimney burials. During excavations on the lower Guayas Basin, the ‘Vuelta Larga’ burial mounds were identified. Some of these burials contained offerings of various types, including local goods like pottery, and foreign ones like metal artefacts, shell beads and obsidian. This research will attempt to determine the metal artefacts’ composition, the relation between artefact’s composition, color and class, possible connection to other sites or cultures of the Andes and the source of the fibers attached to some of the artefacts, through the use non-destructive analytical techniques: stereomicroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and environmental SEM. From these analyses, connections to other sites might be drawn based on artefacts’ metallic composition and manufacturing technique

Regularization policies in informal neighborhoods origin: Argentina, Brasil and Mexico

En este trabajo se abordan las políticas públicas de regularización dominial y urbanística implementadas en América Latina en las últimas décadas, haciendo hincapié en la experiencia comparativa de tres países de la región: Argentina, Brasil y México. Para ello, se hace una breve reseña del desarrollo del hábitat informal y de la situación habitacional de los países seleccionados. Posteriormente, se analizan la normativa urbana vigente, las políticas de regularización dominial y urbanística implementadas de nivel federal y los diferentes organismos involucrados. Finalmente, se contraponen los diferentes modelos de gestión y articulación interjurisdiccional existentes en cada uno de los países.In this paper we address the urban regularization policies implemented in Latin America in recent decades, comparing the experience in three countries in the region: Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. To this end, a brief review of the development of informal habitat and of the housing situation in the selected countries a carried out. Subsequently, we analyze the current urban regulations and the regularization policies implemented at the federal level. Finally, we contrast the different managerial and interjurisdictional coordination models existing in each of the countries.Fil: Di Virgilio, Maria Mercedes. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Aplicación y contabilización de los impuestos, tasas y contribuciones especiales municipales en las empresas comerciales: Electronica, Ferretería “El Sol”, Distribuidora ABC, Importaciones Yelba y Almacén “Mi Casa” en la Ciudad de Matagalpa en el II semestre del año 2008

La aplicación y contabilización de los impuestos, tasas y contribuciones especiales municipales en las empresas comerciales: ELECTRONICA, Ferretería “El Sol”, Distribuidora ABC, Importaciones Yelba y Almacén “Mi Casa” en la ciudad de Matagalpa en el I semestre del año 2008 tiene dos aspectos muy importantes; su aplicación se basa en el Plan de Arbitrios Municipal, el cual es un instrumento legal que esta vigente desde 1989, y su contabilización se rige por las Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad (NICs) y por los Principios de Contabilidad Generalmente Aceptados (PCGA). Los tributos municipales son el impuesto de matrícula, impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles y el impuesto sobre ingresos, tasas por servicio, tasas por aprovechamiento y contribuciones especiales. Las Alcaldías Municipales son las únicas facultadas para la recaudación de estos tributos y como parte de la autonomía municipal tienen el derecho a decidir como se invierten estos ingresos. Los tributos municipales se aplican en diferentes periodos, se aplican mensualmente el impuesto sobre ingresos y la tasa por el servicio de recolección de basura y anualmente el impuesto de matrícula, impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles, impuesto de rodamiento, tasa por el servicio de mantenimiento de cementerio, tasa por aprovechamiento en concepto de rótulos y rampas. Los impuestos, tasas y contribuciones especiales municipales se reconocen como un gasto, por lo tanto su contabilización implica el uso de las cuentas de Gastos de Venta y Gastos de Administración. Las empresas comerciales pagan todos los tributos municipales a excepción de las contribuciones especiales municipales y llevan un registro de los mismos, sin embargo, no tienen conocimiento suficiente de los conceptos, clasificación y naturaleza de los impuestos, tasas y contribuciones especiale
