Colonial subjection devices: the use of the melancholy condition in two hispanic texts. Perú 1567/1616

Indexación: Revista UNABUn número no despreciable de documentos manuscritos coloniales o textos de indias adjudican al indio americano una complexión y/o naturaleza vinculada al humor melancólico. La imagen del indio melancólico, tímido y temeroso, permitió a los colonizadores legitimar la conquista en razón de una supuesta falta de voluntad y virilidad, con la cual se entendió, consecuentemente, la declarada incapacidad para gobernarse a sí mismos y disponer de una racionalidad política. Me interesa afirmar aquí, a partir del análisis de dos textos coloniales —Gobierno del Perú de Juan de Matienzo (1567) e Historia General del Perú de Fray Martín de Murúa (1616)— que la melancolía funcionó como un “dispositivo” (Deleuze “¿Qué es un dispositivo?”), por medio del cual los hispanos justificaron el ejercicio de su poder y legitimaron jurídicamente su estatuto de hombres racionales en el arte de gobierno.A significant number of colonial manuscripts or “textos de indias” grant the Indian American a social complexion and/or nature linked to melancholic humor. The image of the melancholic indian —both shy and fearful— allowed colonizers to legitimize their conquest based on the indians’ alleged lack of will and virility. Because of this, the colonizers declared the indians incapable to govern themselves and imbued them with a lack of political rationality. I’m interested in asserting here, based on the analysis of two colonial texts —Gobierno del Perú by Juan de Matienzo (1567) and Historia General del Perú by Fray Martín de Murúa (1616)— that melancholy worked as a devise (Deleuze 1990) Hispanics employed to both justify their exercise of power and grant legal legitimacy to their own status as rational men in the art of government.http://revistahumanidades.unab.cl/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Art%C3%ADculo-DISPOSITIVOS-DE-SUJECI%C3%93N-Germ%C3%A1n-Morong-p%C3%A1gs-167-193.pd

La intersección entre señales económicas y símbolos míticos

Mythical symbols and economic signals represent more than what they are. Symbols represent universal ideas and themes and evoke feelings and emotions, while economic signals are simple, efficient signs that stand for a more complex set of characteristics and information that are costly to learn. Symbols deal with the irrational and economic signals deal with the rational. Many of the signals cited in economic literature work well because they have a symbolic element that speaks to people’s emotions. By evoking emotions, a signal makes the receiver feel more confident about the truthfulness of the information it represents. The intersection of symbols and signals illustrates the relationship between the rational world of facts and irrational world of emotions and values, a relationship which needs to be explored as part of the development of the ideal type of homo socio economicus, the selfish yet value and community-driven person.economic signals, mythical symbols, rationality, emotions

Study of the GNSS Jamming in Real Environment

GNSS systems are susceptible to radio interferencedespite then operating in a spread spectrum. The commercejammers power up to 2 watts that can block the receiver functionat a distance of up to 15 kilometers in free space.Two original methods for GNSS receiver testing were developed.The first method is based on the usage of a GNSS simulatorfor generation of the satellite signals and a vector signal RFgenerator for generating different types of interference signals.The second software radio method is based on a software GNSSsimulator and a signal processing in Matlab. The receivers weretested for narrowband CW interference, FM modulated signaland chirp jamming signals, and scenarios. The signal to noiseratio usually drops down to 27 dBc-Hz while the jamming tosignal ratio is different for different types of interference. Thechirp signal is very effective.The jammer signal is well propagated in free space while inthe real mobile urban and suburban environment it is usuallystrongly attenuated

Economists, parsifal and the search of holy grail

The economics profession finds itself unsatisfied with the state of economic theory. The most prestigious economists are the main critics of formalism and the abuse of mathematics, despite the success they have had doing what they now criticize in their Nobel speeches. This article analyzes why economists do not ask the pertinent questions from the outset of their careers, using an interpretation of the myth of the Holy Grail based on the psychology of Carl Jung. It compares the formation of economists with the formation of the knights of the middle ages and shows that one of the socioloqical reasons for excessiveformalism is that scientists seek not only the truth, but also theapproval of other scientists.La profesión economíca se encuentra insatisfecha con la situación de la teoría económica. Los economistas más prestigiosos son los principales críticos del formalismo y del abuso de las matemáticas pese al éxito que obtuvieron haciendo lo que hoy critícan en sus discursos Nobel. Este artículo analiza por qué los economistas no se hacen las preguntas pertinentes desde el comienzo de la carrera, acudiendo a una interpretación del mito del Santo Grial basada en la psicología de Carl Jung. Compara la formación de los economistas con la formación de la caballeros de la edad media y muestra que una de las razones sociológicas del formalismo excesivo es que los científicos no sólo buscan la verdad sino que también buscan la aprobación de otros científicos

Lokalizovanie zmien výkonnosti v kóde

Cieľom tejto práce je vylepšiť hľadanie zmien v zdrojovom kóde, ktoré možu sposobovať zmenu výkonnosti a uľahčiť tak testovanie software. Pre tento účel je vytvorený framework, ktorý obsahuje popis prípadne vytvorenie nástrojov a definíciu postupov ako s nimi pracovať. Práca začína s popisom profilovania a kým sposobom može tento proces ovplyvniť výsledky merania výkonnosti. Sú definované požiadavky na profiler potrebný na túto prácu a na ich základe bol zvolený OProfile ako vzorový profiler. Ďalšia časť obsahuje analýzu behu programu popis jeho dvoch častí Execution a Waiting. Nasleduje rozdelenie zmien v zdrojovóm kóde do jednotlivých kategórií podľa toho, akým sposobom je možné ich detekovať. Tretia časť definuje dve metódy na lokalizovanie zmien vo výkonnosti: filtrovanie zmien v kóde a porovnávanie výsledkov profileru. Filtrovanie zmien v kóde je definované ako prienik zoznamu zmien v zdrojovom kóde a zoznamu riadkov kódu, ktoré boli pri meraní spustené. Druhá metóda je len porovnávanie výstupov z profileru s použitím vizualizačného nástroja. Záverečná časť je ukážka použitia týchto metód v realnych projektochThe objective of this work is to improve look up for changes in source code performance and help to remove burden at software testing with it. It tries to design some framework for this purpose which includes creating or desribing tools and defining methods how to work with them. The work starts with desciption of profiling and how this process can influence the performance measurement results. The profiler requirements are defined for purposes of this work and the OProfile is selected as the representative profiler. The next part contains analysis of program run and description of Execution and Waiting part of the run. Following is the categorization of various source code changes due to the posibility of their detection. The third part defines two methods for locating performance regression: advanced difference filtering and comparing the profiler results. Advanced difference filtering is an intersection between a list of changed code parts and a list of code parts executed at measurement. The second method is just comparing the profiler output using the visualization tool. The final part is demonstration of these two methods on real projects.Katedra softwarového inženýrstvíDepartment of Software EngineeringFaculty of Mathematics and PhysicsMatematicko-fyzikální fakult
