Los cabildos antioqueños ante la crisis monárquica, 1808-1812 (Estudios)

A partir del escrutinio de fuentes primarias, la investigación analiza la forma como reaccionaron los cuatro cabildos de la provincia de Antioquia, ubicados al noroccidente de Colombia, frente a la crisis de la monarquía española de 1808. En Antioquia, un grupo de capitulares cuestionó la autoridad del gobernador Francisco de Ayala e intentó reasumir la soberanía, mediante el nombramiento autónomo de alcaldes pedáneos y de partido. Este fue el comienzo de un proceso de cambio de actitud por parte de los antioqueños, acentuado por el impacto que produjeron los movimientos autonomistas de Quito y Cartagena, y por el llamado ""Grito de Independencia"" de Santa Fe. Los cabildos antioqueños reasumieron la soberanía, formaron su propia junta de gobierno, dictaron su propia Constitución y, en 1813, conformaron un nuevo Estado que se declaró independiente de España.

Empregados alocam eficientemente sua poupança para aposentadoria? Um estudo de caso para os funcionários da Souza Cruz S.A

A teoria de escolha do portfólio ótimo, desenvolvida a partir da análise da média-variância de Markowitz (1952) deu início ao estudo de vários destes conceitos. A conclusão definitiva deste modelo é que todos os investidores que levam somente em conta a média e o desvio padrão para análise dos investimentos terão o mesmo portfólio de ativos de risco. Investidores conservadores combinarão este portfólio com ativos livres de risco para compor uma carteira menos arriscada. Investidores moderados reduzirão a quantia em ativos livres de risco, aumentando, assim seu risco total. E investidores agressivos podem até contrair empréstimos para obter um portfólio mais arriscado. Os administradores financeiros têm, tradicionalmente, resistido ao simples conselho sobre investimentos embutido nesta teoria. Esta resistência pode, até certo ponto, ser justificada pela necessidade de cada investidor construir seu portfólio refletindo suas preferências e necessidades particulares. Portanto, a gestão da riqueza é um processo direcionado pelas necessidades do indivíduo e não pelos produtos disponíveis. Logo, a análise acadêmica tradicional de escolha do portfólio ótimo precisa ser modificada com o intuito de tratar tais individualidades. O objetivo deste trabalho é usar a base de dados para comparar os resultados empíricos sobre alocação de portfólio à luz da teoria de investimentos com os resultados obtidos através de um questionário respondido pelos funcionários da Souza Cruz, onde utilizaremos um modelo de regressão ordered probit, que prevê a separação em três níveis, dependentes entre si.

Desempenho de ovelhas da raça Bergamácia alimentadas com dieta contendo gordura protegida

Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito do uso de gordura protegida na dieta de ovelhas da raça Bergamácia sobre a produção e composição do leite e a dinâmica de peso das ovelhas. Utilizaram-se 77 ovelhas distribuídas em 2 grupos de forma homogênea por ordem de parição e idade, mantidas com uma dieta controle, com silagem de milho e concentrado, ou com a dieta controle contendo gordura protegida (35 g/ovelha.dia) adicionada ao concentrado. As dietas foram isoenergéticas e isoproteicas e continham 16% PB e 70% NDT na matéria seca. Durante o dia, os cordeiros eram mantidos com suas mães em pasto, à noite eram separados e retornavam à suas mães após a ordenha matinal; foram desmamados aos 45 dias de idade. As ovelhas, após 48 horas do parto, foram ordenhadas mecanicamente uma vez ao dia, às 7 h, e sua produção de leite foi mensurada diariamente durante 60 dias. Amostras de leite foram coletadas semanalmente para determinação dos teores de proteína e gordura. A dieta com gordura protegida proporcionou maior produção média diária de leite após a desmama dos cordeiros (0,531 vs 0,489 kg/animal.dia). Entretanto, a produção de todo o período não diferiu entre as dietas (0,468 vs 0,453 kg/animal.dia, com gordura protegida e controle, respectivamente). As produções de leite corrigidas para 6,5% de gordura e para 6,5% de gordura e 5,8% de proteína foram semelhantes entre as dietas.

To be or not to be . . . a flower? A test of possible cues influencing hunting site selection in subadult females of the crab spider Epicadus heterogaster (Guerin 1812) (Araneae: Thomisidae)

Females of some Thomisidae species are known to use visual and olfactory stimuli to select high quality hunting sites. However, because studies about foraging behavior in this family are concentrated on a few species, the comprehension of the process related to hunting behavior evolution in crab spiders may be biased. In this study we investigated the hunting site selection of a previously unstudied crab spider, Epicadus heterogaster. We performed three experiments to evaluate the hypothesis that subadult females are able to use visual and olfactory stimuli to select hunting sites. In the first experiment, females did not preferentially select flower paper models that matched their body coloration. However, after choosing a model that had the same body color as the spider, they remained on it for longer periods than on models with different colors. In the second experiment, females did not discriminate between flower paper models, natural flower models and crumpled paper models. Females did also not discriminate among different olfactory stimuli in the third experiment. It is possible that subadult females of E. heterogaster need to establish and experience a given hunting site before evaluating its quality. However, it remains to be investigated if they use UV cues to select a foraging area before experiencing it.

Ryssän koulussa : Suomalaiset Venäjän stipendiaatit autonomian aikana 1812-1917

Finnish scholarship students in Russia during the autonomy (1812-1917) During the autonomy in Finland (1809-1917), an attempt to improve the knowledge of the Russian language was made through special language university scholarships. With these scholarships the students could go and study the Russian language and acquire cultural knowledge in Russia. Other member countries on the edges of the Russian Empire, like Poland and the Baltic provinces, did not have similar programs. The first two scholars started their journey in 1812. A system of travel allowances was introduced in 1841. Between the years 1812- 1917 a total of almost 400 students studied in Russia. The studies mainly took place in Moscow. These scholarship students were called the Master s of Moscow ". In this paper, Finnish-Russian relations are studied based on the attitude towards the Russian language and the people who studied it in Finland. Although the attitude towards them was neutral in the beginning, in 1844 there was a strong change. Students of Russian, and especially the scholars, received the stigma of being unreliable and unpatriotic, a stigma they were never able to get rid of. The study of the Russian language was voluntary in Finnish schools between 1863 and 1872. Starting from 1890, however, the study of the Russian language was enforced. In doing so, the Russians attempted to unify the Empire, while the Finns had the illusion that they had their own state. Thus, Russia saw the language as a way to unify the Empire and Finns as an attempt to make them Russians. The purpose of studying in Russia was to improve the student s practical language skills and overall knowledge of the customs and culture of the country. Besides knowing the language, knowledge of Russian culture and customs is essential in understanding Russia and Russians; therefore, the studies of literature, geography and history have been noted in this research. Without knowledge it is difficult to develop understanding. After their studies, almost all of the scholars returned to Finland and did not continue their careers in Russia. They worked mainly as teachers and civil servants, and managed to improve the Finnish people s weak knowledge of Russian and Russia through teaching, translations of literature and newspaper articles. Through these scholars, it is possible to see how the attitudes towards the language have been closely related to the political history between Finland and Russia. The language became the subject of resistance and these attitudes were transferred to its students. In 1917, the study of Russia and the Russian language ended and it was no longer possible to use the acquired knowledge of language and country in independent Finland.

Recognising the necessity for Indo-Pacific seagrass conservation.

Seagrass meadows are declining globally at an unprecedented rate, yet these valuable ecosystem service providers remain marginalized within many conservation agendas. In the Indo-Pacific, this is principally because marine conservation priorities do not recognize the economic and ecological value of the goods and services that seagrasses provide. Dependency on coastal marine resources in the Indo-Pacific for daily protein needs is high relative to other regions and has been found in some places to be up to 100%. Habitat loss therefore may have negative consequences for food security in the region. Whether seagrass resources comprise an important contribution to this dependency remains largely untested. Here, we assemble information sources from throughout the Indo-Pacific region that discuss shallow water fisheries, and examine the role of seagrass meadows in supporting production, both directly, and indirectly through process of habitat connectivity (e.g., nursery function and foraging areas). We find information to support the premise that seagrass meadows are important for fisheries production. They are important fishery areas, and they support the productivity and biodiversity of coral reefs. We argue the value of a different paradigm to the current consensus on marine conservation priorities within the Indo-Pacific that places seagrass conservation as a priority.

Contains business correspondence, accounts and documents relating to Jacob Franks of New York, his two sons, Moses and David, a nephew, Isaac, and a John Franks of Halifax, possibly a member of the family.

Aaron Lopez papers, undated, 1752-1794, 1846, 1852, 1953.

Contains approximately 6800 manuscripts arranged chronologically by year for years 1752-1794. Approximately 100 are letters received or written by Lopez, his partner and father-in-law, Jacob Rodriguez Rivera, members of his family and company, and commercial agents pertaining to business activities and sailing orders for the captains of various ships. Several also refer to personal matters and acquaintances, including a series of six letters from Silas Cooke of White Hall (Middletown), R.I., to Aaron Lopez, asking his aid in returning a run-away slave (1776). The great majority of the collection consists of account records, bills of sale, orders, shipping agreements, lists of sailors on the various ships, repair records and cargo invoices. Of particular interest are a receipt for payment of a half-year's subscription to the "tzedakah" of Congregation Nefutzei Israel, Newport (1755) and several documents that reveal Lopez as a supplier of kosher meat and other religious articles to people in various parts of the colonies, Surinam, and Jamaica. Also included in this group are copies of sailing lists, documents pertaining to Lopez's naturalization which shed light upon the status of a Jew applying for citizenship in Massachusetts and a check to Lopez from the United States government for a loan made during the Revolutionary War (1779).

Versiones cronísticas de las enfances de Rodrigo: ¿prosificación o reescritura?

Resumen: El estudio de la relación entre poesía épica cidiana y prosa historiográfica ha estado enfocado mayormente en el Poema de Mio Cid. Las conclusiones extraídas del análisis de las versiones cronísticas de las hazañas del héroe en su madurez suelen extrapolarse al caso de la leyenda del héroe joven. Aunque los principales estudiosos, desde Menéndez Pidal hasta Diego Catalán, no han dejado de señalar las particularidades de la épica tardía y de la producción cronística postalfonsí, no ha habido, desde la tesis doctoral de Samuel Armistead hace más de medio siglo, un estudio específico del proceso de escritura que conllevó el aprovechamiento historiográfico del cantar de gesta tardío conocido como Mocedades de Rodrigo. El presente trabajo asume esa tarea y pretende formular nuevas hipótesis sobre la vieja cuestión de la relación textual entre el poema conservado y los relatos incluidos en la Crónica de Castilla y la Crónica General de 1344, así como sobre el discutido punto de la prioridad cronológica de estas versiones
