The Austrian Glacier Inventories GI 1 (1969), GI 2 (1998), GI 3 (2006), and GI LIA in ArcGIS (shapefile) format

Glacier inventories provide the basis for further studies on mass balance and volume change, relevant for local hydrological issues as well as for global calculation of sea level rise. In this study, a new Austrian glacier inventory has been compiled, updating data from 1969 (GI 1) and 1998 (GI 2) based on high-resolution lidar digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthophotos dating from 2004 to 2012 (GI 3). To expand the time series of digital glacier inventories in the past, the glacier outlines of the Little Ice Age maximum state (LIA) have been digitalized based on the lidar DEM and orthophotos. The resulting glacier area for GI 3 of 415.11 ± 11.18 km**2 is 44% of the LIA area. The annual relative area losses are 0.3%/yr for the ~119-year period GI LIA to GI 1 with one period with major glacier advances in the 1920s. From GI 1 to GI 2 (29 years, one advance period of variable length in the 1980s) glacier area decreased by 0.6% yr?1 and from GI 2 to GI 3 (10 years, no advance period) by 1.2%/yr. Regional variability of the annual relative area loss is highest in the latest period, ranging from 0.3 to 6.19%/yr. The mean glacier size decreased from 0.69 km**2 (GI 1) to 0.46 km**2 (GI 3), with 47% of the glaciers being smaller than 0.1 km**2 in GI 3 (22%).

Indian street drama

Ipas India worked with Contact Base, a local organization, to develop street drama that highlights where and how safe abortion services, including medical abortion, can be obtained. Ipas works globally to increase women's ability to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights, and to reduce abortion-related deaths and injuries

Tab. 1: Number and percentage of glacier movements in the Austrian Alps between 1960 and 1975

The statistical record of the length of Austrian glaciers is continued with an improved classification scheme. The tendency of increasing glacier advance is maintained since 1965. 54 glaciers, or 58 % of the 93 observed, were advancing in 1975. A relation that is noticed between the behavior of the terminus and mean air temperature of the ablation period is discussed in qualitative terms.

Length changes of Austrian glaciers 2007/2008

The glacier survey of the Austrian Alpine Club has been measuring the length changes of the Austrian glaciers regularly since 1891. Currently, about 20 observers annually do field surveys on about 100 of Austria's about 900 glaciers. The report is published in the journal of the Austrian Alpine Club. Since the beginning of the measurements, the distance between a landmark and the glacier margin is determined at several points. The direction of the measurements is specified and reported together with special observations in the data sheet reported to the Austrian Alpine Club. The distances are not slope corrected.

El drama de ser mujer en Todas las historias son de amor de Adolfo Torres

La ideología expresa y se reproduce en la sociedad a través del discurso; en esa dirección, el espíritu que guía este análisis es el concepto de ideología asociado al discurso y será utilizado en el sentido de noción general de creencias, ya que pretendemos encontrar en el discurso del drama Todas las historias son de amor, de Adolfo Torres, las marcas de ideología relacionadas con el género. Nuestro objetivo particular es examinar cuál es la idea que sobre la mujer se tiene y cómo aparece en la obra; por lo que aplicaremos la teoría de perspectiva de género para encontrar esos discursos del sistema patriarcal que la definen o la representan.

El drama de la traducción

Victoria Ocampo ha sido reconocida como una de las más grandes traductoras de nuestra historia intelectual. No tanto por su pericia técnica o su riqueza expresiva como por los resultados innegables de su empeño, por los efectos aún hoy palpables de sus emprendimientos en el área de las publicaciones y la industria editorial. Victoria Ocampo, entonces, es traductora pero también instigadora de traducciones. En este trabajo me propongo estudiar su conflictiva relación con la tarea que le dio sus mayores palmas. La directora de Sur no se sentía cómoda en las aguas de la traducción, tarea que por otro lado la definía como intelectual relevante. Esta incomodidad, lo que ella ha llamado su drama, reclama ser pensada y revisada. Para ello, nos detendremos en los numerosos textos que Ocampo dedicó a la traducción, y en aquellas páginas que destina a elaborar su relación con el francés. Las incisivas preguntas de Derrida en su "El monolingüismo del otro", abrirán este recorrido crítico textual a una consideración de la cultura argentina moderna.
