Texas Department of Health organizational structure changes: A reflection of public health policy and agency expansion, September 1, 1946--June 30, 1994

The premise of this study is that changes in the agency's organizational structure reflect changes in government public health policy. Based on this premise, this study tracks the changes in the organizational structure and the overall expansion of the Texas Department of Health to understand the evolution of changing public health priorities in state policy from September 1, 1946 through June 30, 1994, a period of growth and new responsibilities. It includes thirty-seven observations of organizational structure as depicted by organizational charts of the agency and/or adapted from public documents. ^ The major questions answered are, what are the changes in the organizational structure, why did they occur and, what are the policy priorities reflected in these changes in and across the various time periods. ^ The analysis of the study included a thorough review of the organizational structure of the agency for the time-span of the study, the formulation of the criteria to be used in ascertaining the changes, the delineation of the changes in the organizational structure and comparison of the observations sequentially to characterize the change, the discovery of reasons for the structural changes (financial, statutory - federal and state, social and political factors), and the determination of policy priorities for each time period and their relation to the expansion and evolution of the agency. ^ The premise that the organizational structure of the agency and the changes over time reflect government public health policy and agency expansion was found to be true. ^

Relaciones urbanas y arquitectónicas entre la ciudad de Mendoza de la Provincia de Cuyo y Santiago de Chile en los periodos colonial e independiente hasta 1861

Este trabajo fue desarrollado en el marco de la historia social del arte y de la iconología para realizar la lectura de las ciudades y de su arquitectura. Se persiguen los siguientes objetivos: 1- Demostrar que Mendoza se desarrolló a través de su historia urbana como una ciudad hispano-chilena, carácter que mantuvo hasta 1861. 2- Identificar los elementos espaciales y formales del urbanismo y arquitectura española, sus formas y niveles de adaptación a la realidad americana. 3- Identificar y describir las tipologías urbano-arquitectónicas aplicadas y desarrolladas en las ciudades del Reino de Chile que se adoptaron también para Mendoza. 4- Analizar las relaciones espaciales y formales entre el núcleo y la periferia. 5- Explicar la concreción del sistema de jerarquías de la ciudad de Mendoza colonial expresados a través de su configuración espacial en tanto ciudad y de su morfología arquitectónica como expresión de orden y dominación. Estos están dirigidos a observar aspectos formales y espaciales en relación con sus significados sociales a partir de las interrelaciones de símbolos y signos comunicacionales de la sociedad colonial. Ha sido necesario realizar una reconstrucción hipotética lo más completa y ajustada a la realidad que fuera posible a través de documentos escritos y gráficos. A partir de esta realidad construida se pudo iniciar el trabajo interpretativo de la ciudad y su arquitectura a través del método comparativo-analógico. Consideramos procedente ajustarnos al uso de técnicas cualitativas debido al carácter no cuantificable de los datos procesados. Los datos fueron construidos a partir de fuentes documentales existentes y disponibles, ya que, tratándose de áreas sísmicas, son limitados los referentes edilicios que han perdurado, los que raramente se conservan en estado original, relaciones administrativas, actas fundacionales y capitulares, correspondencia epistolar y documentos notariales extraídos de material publicado. 6- Fue también utilizado material iconográfico juzgado válido y pertinente: dibujos, pinturas, grabados de distintos tiempos y las fotografías de los tipos edilicios y espacios urbanos que, perteneciendo a períodos posteriores, expresan una auténtica pervivencia de caracteres coloniales.

Horizontal profiles of longwave and shortwave radiation components over sea ice near Barrow, Alaska during the 2011 melt

An integrated instrument package for measuring and understanding the surface radiation budget of sea ice is presented, along with results from its first deployment. The setup simultaneously measures broadband fluxes of upwelling and downwelling terrestrial and solar radiation (four components separately), spectral fluxes of incident and reflected solar radiation, and supporting data such as air temperature and humidity, surface temperature, and location (GPS), in addition to photographing the sky and observed surface during each measurement. The instruments are mounted on a small sled, allowing measurements of the radiation budget to be made at many locations in the study area to see the effect of small-scale surface processes on the large-scale radiation budget. Such observations have many applications, from calibration and validation of remote sensing products to improving our understanding of surface processes that affect atmosphere-snow-ice interactions and drive feedbacks, ultimately leading to the potential to improve climate modelling of ice-covered regions of the ocean. The photographs, spectral data, and other observations allow for improved analysis of the broadband data. An example of this is shown by using the observations made during a partly cloudy day, which show erratic variations due to passing clouds, and creating a careful estimate of what the radiation budget along the observed line would have been under uniform sky conditions, clear or overcast. Other data from the setup's first deployment, in June 2011 on fast ice near Point Barrow, Alaska, are also shown; these illustrate the rapid changes of the radiation budget during a cold period that led to refreezing and new snow well into the melt season.
