From the Idea That 'to Govern Is to Populate' to 'to Educate Is to Argentinize': Migrants and Education in Argentina at the Turn of the Century

[Resumo] A poboación que forma a Arxentina finisecular é un aluvión de culturas, linguas e influencias ideolóxicas que a estrutura política do novo Estado pretende uniformar e consolidar baixo un sentimento identitario que necesariamente debe comezar por formarse na escola. O presente traballo detense na tendencia dos diferentes colectivos inmigrantes para manter e preservar as súas señas de identidade no lugar de destino mediante experiencias educativas propias e nas estratexias do propio Estado por crear instrumentos lexislativos que axuden a construír un sentimiento de pertenza, inherente á formación dun nuevo cidadán no novo tempo político poscolonial. En ambas vertentes dunha mesma realidade, a escola desempeña un papel fundamental[Abstract] The population that formed Argentina at the turn of the century was a barrage of cultures, languages and ideological influences which the political structure of the new State aimed to standardize and consolidate under a sense of identity, which was inevitably and necessarily developed in the schools. This article takes a close look at the trends of the different immigrant groups to preserve their characteristics and identities in their countries of destination by means of both their own educational experiences and State strategies to create legislation geared towards building a sense of belonging, fundamental to the education of new citizens in the new post-colonial political era. From both sides of the same situation, schools played a key rol

A Escuela Americana do Val Miñor: modernización e reforma pedagóxica na Galicia do primeiro tercio do s. XX

[Resumo] O presente traballo aborda a traxectoria da Unión Hispano Americana Valle Miñor, unha das máis significativas sociedades de instrucción fundadas por emigrantes galegos na Arxentina, a comezos do pasado século XX. E faino desde una doble perspec- tiva: por un lado, a vida societaria desde os seus comezos, no ano 1905; e por outro, a rea- lización escolar desenvolvida en Galicia, a través do colexio fundado na Ramallosa.[Abstract] This article examines the trajectory of the Unión Hispano Americana Valle Miñor, one of the most important educational societies founded by Galician emigrants in Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century. This subject is dealt with from two perspectives. On the one hand there is a discussion of the life of the society since its establishment in 1905, and on the other, its educational activities in Galicia, through the school founded in A Ramallosa

Caciquismo y represión ante el modelo laicista de las escuelas fundadas desde América por la emigración gallega (1923-1936)

Entre el último tercio del siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del XX, en un contexto de intensa emigración europea, cientos de miles de gallegos y gallegas se trasladaron masivamente a diversas regiones de América. Pese a las duras condiciones de partida, la nueva situación ofreció elementos positivos como fue, entre otros, la concienciación política, su influencia en el asociacionismo mutualista y la solidaridad étnica en el lugar de origen mediante proyectos de escolarización destinados a las clases populares; en algunos casos, inspirados en las modernas corrientes pedagógicas reformistas que propugnaban una escuela laica y democrática. Esto generó situaciones de conflicto con los poderes conservadores locales, derivando en campañas de persecución durante la dictadura de Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) y de represión más intensa a partir de la rebelión militar y durante el período de la guerra española (1936-1939). Este trabajo se centra en la labor de las sociedades de instrucción afiliadas a la Federación de Sociedades Gallegas, Agrarias y Culturales de Buenos Aires (Argentina). La consulta de diversa documentación de archivo, bibliográfica y de prensa periódica de la época nos permite reconstruir ese escenario de persecución y represión en su área de influencia, como ejemplo del perpetrado de modo general en otros lugares del resto del país, y del que fueron víctimas tanto los promotores de los proyectos escolares como sus profesores, el alumnado y sus respectivas familias

EGNOS based virtual reference stations

We propose the use of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) data - real time on line data provided by SISNeT - to develop Virtual Reference Stations and, thus, increase the quality of the Position, Velocity an Time (PVT) solution of receivers unable to interface directly with EGNOS. A Virtual Reference Station (VRS) is a concept where the existence of a differential reference station located near a mobile rover is simulated by software in order to increase the accuracy of the PVT solution of the mobile GNSS receiver

Charged polytropic compact stars

In this work, we analyze the effect of charge in compact stars considering the limit of the maximum amount of charge they can hold. We find that the global balance of the forces allows a huge charge (~ 10^{20} Coulomb) to be present in a neutron star producing a very high electric field (~ 10^{21} V/m). We have studied the particular case of a polytropic equation of state and assumed that the charge distribution is proportional to the mass density. The charged stars have large mass and radius as we should expect due to the effect of the repulsive Coulomb force with the M/R ratio increasing with charge. In the limit of the maximum charge the mass goes up to ~ 10 M_sun which is much higher than the maximum mass allowed for a neutral compact star. However, the local effect of the forces experienced by a single charged particle, makes it to discharge quickly. This creates a global force imbalance and the system collapses to a charged black hole

Nucleon Sigma Term and In-medium Quark Condensate in the Modified Quark-Meson Coupling Model

We evaluate the nucleon sigma term and in-medium quark condensate in the modified quark-meson coupling model which features a density-dependent bag constant. We obtain a nucleon sigma term consistent with its empirical value, which requires a significant reduction of the bag constant in the nuclear medium similar to those found in the previous works. The resulting in-medium quark condensate at low densities agrees well with the model independent linear order result. At higher densities, the magnitude of the in-medium quark condensate tends to increase, indicating no tendency toward chiral symmetry restoration.Comment: 9 pages, modified version to be publishe
