Intermix: traditional pre-Columbian art meets contemporary design

Cultural identity is something that impacts the individual, shaping and influencing them, during their lifetime journey. Each person chooses to embrace that identity differently. For my thesis, I investigated pre-Columbian culture and it’s rich history, specifically source visuals of faces as symbolic forms integrated into my visual study. Exploring: various media, elements that are expressive of national identity, image-making techniques, and my graphic design knowledge as vehicles in my work to uncover a different point of view of my own cultural heritage. The process of finding new graphic representations of traditional pre-Columbian faces, while deconstructing and reconstructing their structure and re-contextualizing into a unique contemporary visual vocabulary, was one of my main goals. This exploration helped me better understand those images that I have carried with me since I was a child, but mostly guided me in the right direction of sharing them with my audience which has never been exposed to pre-Columbian symbols and icons. As a graphic designer, I wanted to share the beauty and rich ethnic traits of my culture. I had a story to tell and I had an obligation and responsibility to tell that story through what I know best, graphic design. I believe that exploring our identity can help us communicate our unique individuality and can be used as a source of inspiration and national pride to tell a unique story. In addition, my goal was to not only challenge myself as an artist while developing an in-depth academic body of work

Holistic Risk Assessment of Surface Water Contamination by Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material in Oil Produced Water from the Bakken Shale

The risks to the environment and human health due to hydraulic fracturing (HF) in onshore unconventional oil and gas (O&G) development have been studied in the past but results are inconclusive. A common shortcoming in previous studies is the absence of social risk perception and awareness analysis. This thesis research proposes the combination of statistical methods to analyze risks to human health due to improper management of produced water, the major by-product of HF. This study focuses on the Bakken Shale located in North Dakota. A risk assessment of radium-226 was performed from a technical perspective only. A second assessment, focused on lead-210, combined technical analysis with risk perception and awareness of ND residents. Results indicate that the latter offers more holistic information that could greatly contribute to the mitigation of risks in O&G development by creation and implementation of standards and regulations that consider technical and social aspects.Civil and Environmental Engineering Department; North Dakota Water Resources Research Institute Fellowship program; Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department; College of Engineerin

Jorge Luis Borges and the Debate of Translation

Most translations with which we are familiar have been performed within the Indoeuropean family of languages and the culture of this linguistic domain is homogeneous. Most linguists have arrived at the conclusion that translation from a language into another is possible at least in the field of universals. As a matter of fact, many linguists for whom the translation of the whole message within the text is impossible, distinguish a vast corpus of vocabulary in al! European languages which expresses the identity of culture. The description of this identity of languages has been done by Whorf under the name of Standard Average European. It seems obvious that translation ought to be considered not as confrontation of linguistic systems but as a contact and mutual interpenetration, bilinguism being the best way for these contacts. Jorge Luis Borges is perhaps the writer who represents the best of this mode!. As you know, he lived in Switzerland, Italy and in Spain. He used to feel at home in several languages but English and Spanish were simultaneously learnt, however he affirms that he is condemned to write in Spanish. He penetrated different cultures. He delighted in spreading the sense of the foreign, of the mysteriously mixed. What is central in him is the idea of the writer as a guest, as ahuman being whose task is to be sensitive to many strange currents, as a person who has to keep the doors of his temporal rooms open, to let al! the winds enter. Although he considers the Spanish language his íate, he used English words both in his writings and his talk. He used them for precision, when Spanish fails to fulfill his aspirations to exactness

Assessing the Factors That Influence Morbidity and Mortality From Stress-Related Mental Disorders, Such as Anxiety and Depression, Among Undocumented Mexican Immigrant Male Adults in New York City

Using a holistic social ecological perspective, this needs assessment proposal investigates the individual and environmental risk factors associated with increased morbidity and mortality from stress-related mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, among undocumented Mexican immigrants male adults in NYC along with the personal determinants that influence those behavioral risk factors. Moreover, the proposal also puts forward a plan for obtaining additional primary data that would provide further insight into what is occurring at each of the five levels of the Social Ecological Model (i.e. individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and policy/societal levels) as it relates to the health problem

Optimización de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales de Americana de Curtidos Ltda. y Cía. S.C.A.

En este documento se describe la optimización de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales de la curtiembre Americana de Curtidos Ltda. y Cía. S.C.A, debido al aumento en la producción y a las nuevas exigencias de la norma ambiental Colombiana. Se determinaron los parámetros de funcionamiento de los nuevos tanques de coagulación - floculación, mediante el desarrollo de pruebas de jarras donde se encontraron los parámetros óptimos de pH (5,5), dosis de coagulante policloruro de aluminio PAC (270mg/L), tiempo de retención en el tanque de coagulación (5min), dosis de floculante polímero aniónico Lipesa® (1mg/L), tiempo de retención en el tanque de floculación (20 min) con una velocidad de agitación (20 rpm). Se encontró diferencia significativa (p < 0.05) entre los tratamientos comparados (convencional y mejorado) con un impacto positivo sobre la calidad del efluente en cuanto a disminución de la carga contaminante para los parámetros SST en un 43.3%, DQO 22.33%, DBO 32.52%, Grasas y Aceites 44.41%, y Cromo 71.32%. por parte de los nuevos parámetros de funcionamiento implementados. Se determinó que los resultados del nuevo proceso se acogen a lo estipulado en el decreto 3930 de 2010 y se acercan a las metas de reducción propuestas en la Resolución 868 del 2008

Terror in the Origins of Totalitarianism and Killing Policy

Con Los orígenes del totalitarismo Hannah Arendt propuso identificar el mal radical que los regímenes totalitarios efectuaron durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. La política de la muerte de Hit­ler y Stalin llegó a ser un flagelo hacia la humanidad y causó una gran intimidación que no escatimó la violencia y la aniquila­ción total de sus opositores. La política de la muerte significa no solo exterminar la vida desde un aspecto físico sino también desde un aspecto político, demostrando la capacidad de aislar al ser humano de su espontaneidad en la esfera pública y de su innegable pluralidad en los asuntos humanos. Las ideologías políticas que antecedieron a los regímenes totalitarios influyeron en la constitución de los partidos nacionalsocialista y bolchevismo, basando su discurso y ejecución mediante aconteci­mientos históricos que no fueron ajenos a su erección. La política de la muerte fue la determinación de todo un aparato estatal para acabar con la diversidad de los hom­bres y sumergirlos en la política macabra de los regímenes totalitarios, una política basada en la muerte.With “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” Hannah Arendt proposed the identification of the radical evil that totalitarian regimes caused during the first half of the 20th century. The killing policies of Hitler and Stalin became a calamity for humanity and caused a significant intimidation in­volving violence and total annihilation of their opponents. A killing policy implies the extermination of life not only from a physical standpoint but also from a political standpoint; this policy shows the capacity to isolate human beings from their public spontaneity and their irrefutable plurality in human affairs. Political ideologies ex­perienced before the totalitarian regimes had a strong influence on the constitution of national-socialist parties and Bolshe­vism; these ideologies based their speech and execution on historical events directly related to their erection. The killing policy was the establishment of an entire state system intended to destroy diversity of men and have them involved in the maca­bre policy of totalitarian regimes; a policy based on death
