Bartók i els seus dos últims concerts

La idea inicial d’aquest projecte rau en el meu interès per aprofundir en dues obres: una, escrita per a viola, i l’altra, per a piano. La controvèrsia musicològica sobre l’autenticitat del Concert per a viola de Bartók, una obra cabdal dins del repertori d’aquest instrument, i la coincidència cronològica que aquest concert manté amb el Concert per a piano núm. 3 d’aquest mateix compositor han estat, finalment, el focus central de Bartók i els seus dos últims concerts. Mitjançant la informació extreta de llibres sobre el compositor, articles, tesis i partitures, les pàgines següents són el reflex del meu apropament als últims anys de la vida de Bartók, a la història que s’amaga darrere d’ambdues obres i als paral·lelismes que conté aquesta música.

Need of reduced and harmonized bureaucracy in multi-centre clinical research - a case-report from a Swiss trial

Introduction: We launched an investigator-initiated study (ISRCTN31181395) to evaluate the potential benefit of pharmacokinetic-guided dosage individualization of imatinib for leukaemiapatients followed in public and private sectors. Following approval by the research ethics committee (REC) of the coordinating centre, recruitment throughout Switzerland necessitatedto submit the protocol to 11 cantonal RECs.Materials and Methods: We analysed requirements and evaluation procedures of the 12 RECs with associated costs.Results: 1-18 copies of the dossier, in total 4300 printed pages, were required (printing/posting costs: ~300 CHF) to meet initial requirements. Meeting frequencies of RECs ranged between 2 weeks and 2 months, time from submission to fi rst feedback took 2-75 days. Study approval was obtained from a chairman, a subor the full committee, the evaluation work being invoiced by0-1000 CHF (median: 750 CHF, total: 9200 CHF). While 5 RECs gave immediate approval, the other 6 rose in total 38 queries before study release, mainly related to wording in the patient information, leading to 7 different fi nal versions approved. Submission tasks employed an investigator half-time over about 6 months.Conclusion: While the necessity of clinical research evaluation by independent RECs is undisputed, there is a need of further harmonization and cooperation in evaluation procedures. Current administrative burden is indeed complex, time-consuming and costly. A harmonized electronic application form, preferably compatible with other regulatory bodies and European countries, could increase transparency, improve communication, and encourage academic multi-centre clinical research in Switzerland.

Un horizon infini. Explorateurs et voyageurs français au Tibet (1846-1912)

Peu reconnus par la critique postcoloniale, souvent assimilés sans nuances aux enjeux géopolitiques du Grand Jeu en Asie centrale à la même période, les récits des explorateurs français du Tibet manifestent pourtant des traits culturels spécifiques dont on se propose ici de mener l'archéologie. Missionnaires, aventuriers, nobles bannis, scientifiques républicains, diplomates, officiers coloniaux, intellectuels et orientalistes éclairés indiquent tous que la culture de l'exploration dont, de 1846 à 1912, ils sont les représentants se conçoit intrinsèquement comme une culture paysagère. Aussi révèlent-ils une évolution originale des savoirs sur le Tibet et des représentations du paysage tibétain qui se découvre progressivement à eux. La description du paysage participe ainsi globalement d'une histoire des sensibilités et d'une histoire des sciences, ce que l'on peut appeler une géosensibilité. Mais la description scientifique du paysage, liée à la pratique du voyage et à une confrontation à l'ailleurs, ne doit pas masquer le primat expérientiel qui lui donne sens. C'est ainsi que le paysage, en tant qu'expérience vécue, en vient à jouer le rôle d'une médiation interculturelle invitant à un renouvellement des questionnaires des explorateurs. Par ailleurs, la description scientifique participe tout autant de différents orientalismes, de différentes perceptions d'un Tibet associé par les voyageurs à un « paysage sacré ». La diversité dont ceux-ci témoignent, mais aussi les croisements de représentations issues d'autres cultures de l'exploration du Tibet - la tradition anglo-saxonne en premier lieu -, nous plongent aux origines de l'« image du Tibet » qui, au loin de la rencontre vivante des explorateurs - la Première Guerre, la Convention de Simla et l'avènement du Guomindang marquent le terme de la culture française de l'exploration du Tibet -, se cristallisera et s'unifiera dans l'imaginaire occidental du XXe siècle.

Iowa Budget Report, Building on our Progress: Protecting our Priorities, 2009

*********** Some files are large and will take time to load. *********** Seven Files: 1)Report Cover, 2)Table of Contents, 3)Statewide Financial Summaries, 4)Department Budgets, 5)Capitol Projects, 6)Associated Financial Documents, 7)Budget Report. To Members of the 82nd General Assembly, As we begin the second year of our Administration, we are pleased to submit the Fiscal Year 2009 budget for the State of Iowa pursuant to Iowa Code Section 8.21 and our constitutional authority. This budget recognizes the progress that we began last year with improvements in education, economic development, energy independence, and health care; provides funding for new policy initiatives in these areas; and is based on fiscally sound budget practices. Building on last year’s accomplishments, our Fiscal Year 2009 General Fund budget proposes an additional $75 million for increasing teachers’ salaries as part of our goal to move Iowa closer to the national average. We lay the foundation for student achievement by recommending $32.1 million for pre-school education, and we also propose $177.5 million in total for community colleges and $726.2 million in total for Regents universities. To make our State more energy independent, our General Fund budget appropriates the second-year funding of $25 million for the new Iowa Power Fund. The newly established Office of Energy Independence will soon start making awards from the Power Fund. Apart from the budget, we will be making several proposals to implement the new State energy plan. We have pledged to expand the number of Iowans who have health-care coverage. As a result, we are recommending additional funding for enrollment growth in the State Children Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). These additional funds will help the State provide coverage for another 25 percent of children who are eligible but not yet enrolled in hawk-i and the Iowa Medicaid Program. To protect the safety of Iowans, we are recommending issuance of revenue bonds for approximately $260 million in net proceeds to build a new state penitentiary in Ft. Madison, renovate and expand the Women’s Correctional Institution at Mitchellville, upgrade kitchen facilities at the Rockwell City and Mt. Pleasant Correctional Institutions, and expand Community-Based Correctional Facilities in Ottumwa, Sioux City, Waterloo, and Des Moines. Additionally, we are including funding for developing a prototype program for providing parolees and low-risk offenders with mental health and drug abuse treatment and educational services to help them make a crime-free re-entry into our communities. As part of this Capitals Budget, we also propose using $20 million for the State’s matching share for building new facilities at the Iowa Veterans Home. Iowa Budget Report iv Fiscal Year 2009 Importantly, our budget continues to fully fund our State’s Reserve Funds to help buffer Iowa from any future economic downturn. We recommend reimbursing $78.2 million to the Property Tax Credit Fund as part of our multi-year proposal to correct bad budgeting practices and eventually restore $160.0 million to this Fund. To provide more transparency, we are transferring operational expenditures in the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund to the General Fund and expenditures from the Endowment for Healthy Iowans and Healthy Iowans Tobacco Trust Funds to the General Fund. We believe that Iowa has charted a new course of becoming energy independent, providing quality pre-school education, recognizing the importance of our teachers, and providing greater health coverage for children. Our Fiscal Year 2009 budget and policy priorities reflect our continuing faith in Iowa’s ability to be the best state in the nation. We look forward to working with you in a bi-partisan and all-inclusive manner to build on our progress and protect our priorities. Sincerely, Chester J. Culver Governor Patty Judge Lt. Governor
