Lining the streets inside the city's gates, clustered in its center, and thinly scattered among its back quarters were Augsburg's taverns and drinking rooms. These institutions ranged from the poorly lit rooms of backstreet wine sellers to the elaborate marble halls frequented by society's most privileged members. Urban drinking rooms provided more than food, drink, and lodging for their guests. They also conferred upon their visitors a sense of social identity commensurate with their status. Like all German cities, Augsburg during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had a history shaped by the political events attending the Reformation, the post-Reformation, and the Thirty Years' War; its social and political character was also reflected and supported by its public and private drinking rooms. In Bacchus and Civic Order: The Culture of Drink in Early Modern Germany, Ann Tlusty examines the social and cultural functions served by drinking and tavern life in Germany between 1500 and 1700, and challenges existing theories about urban identity, sociability, and power. Through her reconstruction of the social history of Augsburg, from beggars to council members, Tlusty also sheds light on such diverse topics as social ritual, gender and household relations, medical practice, and the concerns of civic leaders with public health and poverty. Drunkenness, dueling, and other forms of tavern comportment that may appear "disorderly" to us today turn out to be the inevitable, even desirable result of a society functioning according to its own rules.

Abstract Montana's Lee Metcalf was an extraordinary Montana leader with an unbelievable record of accomplishment fighting for the little people against the forces of economic and political power. The public memory is so short that this film will serve to help reacquaint Lee & Donna Metcalf to most of those who were around during their time. But it will also provide an opportunity for new generations to receive a perspective of an important leader from an important time. (Language from YouTube version of the film, written and provided by Executive Producer Evan Barrett) Lee Warren Metcalf (January 28, 1911 – January 12, 1978) was an American lawyer, judge, and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a U.S. Representative (1953–1961) and a U.S. Senator (1961–1978) from Montana. He was permanent acting President pro tempore of the Senate, the only person to hold that position, from 1963 until his death in 1978. U.S. House of Representatives During his tenure in the House, Metcalf served on the Education and Labor Committee (1953–1959), Interior and Insular Affairs Committee (1955–1959), Select Astronautics and Space Exploration Committee (1958), and Ways and Means Committee (1959–1960). He became known as one of Congress's "Young Turks" who promoted liberal domestic social legislation and reform of congressional procedures. He introduced legislation to provide health care to the elderly ten years before the creation of Medicare. He earned the nickname "Mr. Education" after sponsoring a comprehensive bill providing for federal aid to education. He also voted against legislation that would have raised grazing permits on federal lands, and led the opposition to a bill that would have swapped forested public lands for cutover private lands. He was elected chairman of the Democratic Study Group in 1959. U. S. Senate Regarded as "a pioneer of the conservation movement", Metcalf worked to protect the natural environment and regulate utilities. He helped pass the Wilderness Act of 1964, and supported the creation of the Great Bear Wilderness and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. In 1962, he introduced a "Save Our Streams" bill to preserve natural recreation facilities and protect fish and wildlife from being destroyed by highway construction. He was a longtime member of the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. He was also active on the issue of education. He was a leading supporter of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the effort to extend the G.I. Bill's educational benefits to a new generation of veterans, and the development of legislation to improve federally-aided vocational education.[1] The Peace Corps was established under leadership of Metcalf and Senator Mansfield. In 1983, by act of Congress, the Lee Metcalf Wilderness area was created in southwestern Montana in honor of the late Congressman. The Great Bear Wilderness and Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness areas were also created as a result of Metcalf's efforts in Congress, in addition to the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge in Montana. Metcalf was ranked number 15 on a list of the 100 Most Influential Montanans of the Century by the Missoulian newspaper.

The Ottoman government obtained current information on the empire's sources of revenue through periodic registers called tahrir defterleri. These documents include detailed information on tax-paying subjects and taxable resources, making it possible to study the economic and social history of the Middle East and Eastern Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Although the use of these documents have been typically limited to the construction of local histories, adopting a more optimistic attitude toward their potential and using appropriate sampling procedures can greatly increase their contribution to historical scholarship. They can be used in comprehensive quantitative studies and in addressing questions of broader historical significance or larger social scientific relevance.

The cornea of the human eye can develop deposits of lipids in the periphery known as corneal arcus. [2, 10] For over a century, these deposits have been of interest as possible indicators of the accumulation of lipids in arterial walls of the heart and body with implications for heart disease. [2, 10, 11, 29] Heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in this country. [5, 29] There have been several publications suggesting an association between the development of atherosclerotic lesions and corneal arcus. [2, 12, 29] Investigators have differed in their interpretation of the relevance of corneal arcus to coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease. However, there is widespread consensus that the presence of corneal arcus in patients under the age of 50 should prompt physicians to further investigate for dyslipidemia or heart disease. [2, 3, 6, 8, 19] Earlier studies have often suffered from difficulty in determining the presence or severity of atherosclerosis and from inconsistencies in evaluating corneal arcus. This study involves the review of mortality data, medical and social history and standardized slit lamp examination of corneal tissue donors to evaluate the prevalence of corneal arcus in relation to death by CHD or CVD. The prevalence of arcus, odds ratio, and logistic regression was utilized for statistical analysis.^

Este artículo es un avance del proyecto de investigación acerca de la historia social de la carrera de Ciencia Política de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, en cuya primera etapa se abordó el período que va entre los años '60 hasta el golpe militar de 1976. Este avance consiste en la revisión de ciertos aspectos relevantes como el análisis de los boletines y cuadernos de estudio, reformas de los planes de estudio y sus respectivas ordenanzas, además de entrevistas a docentes e investigadores de la época. Consideramos que estos aspectos son importantes para advertir y comprender las «marcas de la historia» en el origen y desarrollo de esta disciplina científica en la provincia de Mendoza y para avanzar en la elaboración de una historia social de la misma.

El presente trabajo propone realizar un análisis interdisciplinario histórico-iufilosófico y de derecho tomando como eje el caso especial de los delitos contra la honestidad (actualmente delitos contra la integridad sexual) a la luz de cuatro aspectos de la teoría dworkiniana: el uso de la jurisprudencia y el precedente para resolver problemas jurídicos, el lugar de la moralidad en el derecho -especialmente en el argentino-, el concepto de "caso difícil" y el lugar del juez en su resolución. En este punto, pretendo mostrar cómo el objeto histórico se relaciona estrechamente con los desarrollos posteriores y problemas contemporáneos de la filosofía del derecho

Los delitos sexuales entre la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y principios del XX presentan problemas particulares en relación a la posibilidad de su imputación y castigo vinculados a la forma particular como se conciben estos crímenes. Propongo, a partir del análisis de expedientes judiciales, problematizar algunas de estas cuestiones partiendo desde el análisis de su concepción como "dependientes de iniciativa privada" y por tanto la necesidad de una "acusación particular" que implicó largos debates en los tribunales ya que la interpretación de esta situación tuvo más de una lectura posible: quedaban satisfechos los requerimientos de la ley con la denuncia o debía continuarse la participación de la parte hasta la misma sentencia, es decir, llegar hasta la vista de acusación? En este contexto se pone entonces en discusión la participación del Agente Fiscal en el proceso en tanto acusador y por lo tanto el interés del Estado como tal en la persecución de estos crímenes. Busco, simultáneamente mostrar las discusiones que se dieron en la práctica penal, que reflejan distintas formas de interpretar y pensar estos delitos; las razones implícitas en su persecución y castigo o por el contrario de su finalización y falta de pena

En los últimos años, los delitos sexuales se han convertido en objeto de preocupación para la sociedad; esto se vio reforzado por las nuevas formas de pensar y vivir las relaciones humanas inter e intra-género-s y especialmente las elecciones sexuales. En este trabajo propongo volver a poner en debate algunas cuestiones que hacen al problema de la definición jurídico-social y a la comprensión del "consentimiento" en el contexto específico de los expedientes seguidos por delitos sexuales en el ámbito de la provincia de Buenos Aires, entre 1863 y 1921, teniendo en cuenta la importancia que este concepto tiene para la definición de los delitos sexuales como tales. También se tomarán en cuenta algunos escritos de la época que permiten conocer la circulación de ideas en el ámbito específico del derecho y la medicina legal. Al mismo tiempo, pretendo poner en tensión las ideas sociales y culturales que aparezcan reflejadas en las fuentes respecto de qué es, cómo se otorga y cuándo puede hablarse de un efectivo consentimiento, así como de su contrario. Poniendo en juego las subjetividades propias de los participantes en el proceso. Resaltando la centralidad de esta cuestión en el mismo tanto para la definición de una víctima como para la caracterización de los acusados

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto que la AUH tuvo, en las representaciones y prácticas escolares de las familias destinatarias, domiciliadas en el barrio Villa Argüello (Berisso, Provincia de Bs. As.), para así, observar los cambios y/o continuidades en los significados y en la praxis escolar de los niños/as perceptores de la AUH, durante el período 2007-2013. Al meditar sobre las investigaciones que nos anteceden, creemos observar que ninguna abordó específicamente el impacto que la AUH tuvo, sobre las representaciones y las prácticas escolares de los niños/as y de sus familias, desde los propios sujetos. Tampoco incorporaron la opinión de los docentes, directivos, psicopedagogos y preceptores respecto a la asistencia y retención escolar de los niños/as perceptores del DNU 1602/09. Por lo tanto, para evaluar si las políticas sociales del modelo de la post-convertibilidad, generaron modificaciones en la praxis y en los significados escolares de los niños/as en situación de pobreza a través de la AUH, consideramos indispensable llevar a cabo nuestra investigación, utilizando una metodología de tipo cualitativa. Para ello, recurriremos a la historia social a través de los testimonios y de las entrevistas, para analizar así la dimensión "escolaridad" de la AUH
