Arte urbano en el espacio expositivo : siglo XXI a través del análisis de seis modelos singulares

En la actualidad, museos y galerías de todo el mundo realizan exposiciones de un arte que tiene sus orígenes en el espacio urbano. El presente estudio muestra las estrategias posibles que tanto los artistas como las instituciones museológicas y comisarios han adoptado para mostrar el arte urbano en el espacio expositivo. Los objetivos son analizar a través de seis exposiciones llevadas a cabo en Europa, en el transcurso del siglo XXI, las características conceptuales, técnicas y formales para realizar una exposición de arte urbano, buscando la interconexión existente entre el lenguaje artístico propio de este arte y el lenguaje expositivo. Para ello se muestra un contexto histórico en el que se abordan los principales casos desarrollados a lo largo de la historia, orientado a crear una base a un movimiento que actualmente está en pleno auge. Se analiza también el papel adyacente del graffiti con el arte urbano, encontrando tanto grandes similitudes como diferencias, que han coexistido a lo largo de los años complementándose unas con otras, sea entre los artistas, en el espacio urbano y en el espacio expositivo. Bajo la emergencia de muestras de arte urbano en la actualidad, este estudio selecciona seis exposiciones que tuvieron lugar en instituciones europeas desde el 2008. La variedad entre ellas permite realizar un análisis rico en posibilidades, como en Street Art en la Tate Modern, una institución de gran relevancia a nivel internacional y con artistas referentes dentro del movimiento; en Banksy versus Bristol Museum, en la que el mediático y anónimo Banksy crea una muestra heterogénea; con Os Gêmeos en el Museu Berardo en Lisboa se presenta una exposición de uno de los grandes referentes del arte urbano en el mundo, o el Palais de Tokyo que presenta unos espacios propicios para la muestra de este tipo de arte bajo una serie de eventos desarrollados en una amplia línea temporal con una gran variedad de artistas; Lisboa, ciudad distinguida por su implicación con el arte urbano, presenta dos muestras importantes, una en la Fundação EDP-Museu da Electricidade con la figura emergente de Alexandre Farto, y otra en el MUDE con el significativo André Saraiva. Bajo la premisa de que todos estos artistas han desenvuelto o desenvuelven su trabajo en la calle, se estudia su relación con el lenguaje adaptado para el espacio expositivo. El objetivo desarrollado es la búsqueda de una esencia que permita sentir y apreciar el arte urbano en todos sus contenidos, sea formal, técnica o conceptualmente, reflexionando acerca de la naturaleza del mismo para así realizar la complicada descontextualización de presentar un arte en un espacio ajeno a sus raíces. Tras el análisis de las exposiciones, se observan varias formas de abordar la inclusión en el museo, categorizándolas en exposiciones individuales, colectivas, históricas y temáticas, creando cuatro líneas curatoriales. Desde la perspectiva de las estrategias creativas analizadas en las exposiciones, se observan diferentes recursos tanto por parte de los artistas como de las instituciones para introducir el arte urbano en el contexto museológico, encontrando aspectos que coexisten dentro y fuera del espacio expositivo. Además, el estudio examina cómo a lo largo de la historia hubo un intento de aproximación e inclusión del arte popular al espacio expositivo, lo cual desenvolvió un camino para la institución museológica actual, que debe defender un servicio y un compromiso con la sociedad bajo la actual demanda de un público interesado en el arte urbano

Un modèle d'intégration des enfants en difficulté d'adaptation et d'apprentissage

Depuis vingt-cinq ans, le Québec a connu dans le monde de l'éducation un nombre assez impressionnant de changements, de réformes, de mises au point et de renouvellements de programme. Du rapport Parent à l'école québécoise, notre système éducatif a vécu toutes sortes de situations qui nous ont conduits à une structure éducationnelle plus cohérente, plus apte à répondre à la majorité des besoins des citoyens et de la société. Cependant, les années 1968-1976 ont vu se développer un système d'éducation parallèle créant tout un réseau à double voie : la voie régulière et la voie de l'exceptionnel. Le rapport Celdic et le rapport Copex sont venus ébranler cette structure à double voie et les intervenants dans le monde de l'éducation ont refait une partie des devoirs élaborés è l'occasion du rapport Parent. La Commission Scolaire Régionale Blainville Deux-Montagnes n'a pas vécu à l'écart de ces changements et elle est actuellement tributaire de deux voies parallèles dans son système d'éducation. Elle refait également ses devoirs et étudie présentement la possibilité d'intégrer dans ses classes régulières les élèves qui présentent des difficultés d'adaptation et d'apprentissage et qui ont été exclus des classes régulières pour être placés sur ce que plusieurs appellent une voie d’évitement. L'intégration est devenue le sujet d'étude des comités d'école, du comité de parents et des diverses tables de gestion de la commission scolaire, tant celle des écoles que celle des divers services. En tant qu'administrateur dans une des polyvalentes de cette commission scolaire, j'aurai à prendre part aux discussions et aux études qui seront faites et j'aurai, également, à participer aux diverses prises de décisions qu'entraînera cette opération.

Alexandre Galí i la Mútua escolar Blanquerna. 'Alexandre Galí y la Mutua escolar Blanquerna'.

Conocer el pensamiento pedagógico de Alexandre Galí desde el punto de vista de Galí como un maestro que organizó la escuela y la enseñanza a través de la experimentación durante los 15 años de la Escuela Blanquerna. Estudio del pensamiento de Galí, desde su juventud hasta la consolidación de la pedagogía propia, considerando el movimiento pedagógico internacional, así como el marco político y social de la época. Realización de entrevistas a 13 profesores de Blanquerna y 21 alumnos. Localización de 500 documentos originales inéditos de la Mutua Escolar Blanquerna, y de diversos borradores de A. Galí. La recogida de datos mediante la entrevista, la investigación bibliográfica de los documentos localizados y la documentación en bibliotecas y archivos públicos y privados. Realiza un modelo educativo que reclama los ideales de la burguesía nacionalista mediante el desarrollo del programa formativo del Noucentisme. Estudia el problema del bilingüismo y su influencia en la escuela y en la estructuración mental de un pueblo. Aplica por primera vez métodos de control de los trabajos y de los avances escolares de los alumnos. Blanquerna surge como respuesta a la política anticatalana de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera, y se constituye como Mutua escolar de padres. Muchos de los 'hombres-clave' de la Cataluña de hoy fueron alumnos de Blanquerna, que fue una especie de forja de dirigentes de un país que culminaba con la Generalitat y el Estatut una vieja ambición política, y que necesitaba hombres que sirviesen a Cataluña.

Fraturas vertebrais em grandes animais: estudo retrospectivo de 39 casos (1987-2002)

Realizou-se estudo retrospectivo (1987-2002) dos aspectos clínicos das fraturas vertebrais em eqüinos, bovinos, ovinos, caprinos e suínos atendidos no hospital veterinário da FMVZ-Unesp de Botucatu. Todos os casos tiveram confirmação radiográfica ou post-mortem. Segundo a espécie, a ordem de acometimento foi: bovina, eqüina, ovina, caprina e suína. As lesões ocorreram desde os 12 dias de idade até os 10 anos, com maior freqüência até os 12 meses. O segmento torácico foi o mais comprometido seguido dos segmentos lombar, cervical e sacral. As fraturas vertebrais devem fazer parte da lista de diagnósticos diferenciais de animais em decúbito, independente da espécie, sexo ou idade.

Effects of flow regulation in the life-cycles of a mediterranean cyprinid species, the Iberian chub (Squalius carolitertii Doadrio, 1987)

Streamflow is considered a driver of inter and intra‐specific life‐history differences among freshwater fish. Therefore, dams and related flow regulation, can have deleterious impacts on their life‐cycles. The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of flow regulation on the growth and reproduction of a non‐migratory fish species. During one year, samples were collected from two populations of Iberian chub, inhabiting rivers with non‐regulated and regulated flow regimes. Flow regulation for water derivation promoted changes in chub’s condition, duration of gonad maturation and spawning, fecundity and oocyte size. However, this non‐migratory species was less responsive to streamflow regulation than a migratory species analysed. Findings from this study are important to understand changes imposed by regulated rivers on fish and can be used as guidelines for flow requirements implementations; RESUMO: O caudal é um dos fatores responsáveis pelo funcionamento dos ciclos de vida das espécies piscícolas dulciaquícolas. As barragens, e a regularização de caudal associada, podem ter impactes nos ciclos de vida destas espécies. O objetivo deste estudo prende‐se com a avaliação dos efeitos da regularização de caudal no crescimento e reprodução de uma espécie piscícola não‐migradora. A análise de amostras recolhidas em populações de escalo do Norte provenientes de dois rios de caudal regularizado e não regularizado, identificaram impactes significativos a nível da condição corporal, da maturação das gónadas e desova, da fecundidade e da dimensão dos oócitos. Esta espécie não‐migradora parece ser menos responsiva à artificialização do caudal que uma espécie migradora previamente analisada. Estes resultados permitem compreender as alterações impostas pela regularização do caudal e podem ser usados em programas de reabilitação fluvial.

Temperature enhanced effects of ozone on cardiovascular mortality in 95 large US communities, 1987-2000 - assessment using the NMMAPS data

A few studies examined interactive effects between air pollution and temperature on health outcomes. This study is to examine if temperature modified effects of ozone and cardiovascular mortality in 95 large US cities. A nonparametric and a parametric regression models were separately used to explore interactive effects of temperature and ozone on cardiovascular mortality during May and October, 1987-2000. A Bayesian meta-analysis was used to pool estimates. Both models illustrate that temperature enhanced the ozone effects on mortality in the northern region, but obviously in the southern region. A 10-ppb increment in ozone was associated with 0.41 % (95% posterior interval (PI): -0.19 %, 0.93 %), 0.27 % (95% PI: -0.44 %, 0.87 %) and 1.68 % (95% PI: 0.07 %, 3.26 %) increases in daily cardiovascular mortality corresponding to low, moderate and high levels of temperature, respectively. We concluded that temperature modified effects of ozone, particularly in the northern region.

Random Breath Testing Operation and Effectiveness in 1987

• In December 1986 funds were approved to double the intensity of random breath testing (RBT) and provide publicity support for police efforts. These changes were considered necessary to make RBT effective. • RBT methods were changed in the metropolitan area to enable block testing (pulling over a block of traffic rather than one or two cars), deployment of police to cut off escape routes, and testing by traffic patrols in all police subdivisions. Additional operators were trained for country RBT. • A publicity campaign was developed, aimed mainly at male drivers aged 18-50. The campaign consisted of the “cardsharp” television commercials, radio commercials, newspaper articles, posters and pamphlets. • Increased testing and the publicity campaigns were launched on 10 April 1987. • Police tests increased by 92.5% in May – December 1987, compared with the same period in the previous four years. • The detection rate for drinking drivers picked up by police who were cutting off escape routes was comparatively high, indicating that drivers were attempting to avoid RBT, and that this police method was effective at detecting these drivers. • A telephone survey indicated that drivers were aware of the messages of the publicity campaign. • The telephone survey also indicated that the target group had been exposed to high levels of RBT, as planned, and that fear of apprehension was the major factor deterring them from drink driving. • A roadside survey of driver blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) by the University of Adelaide’s Road Accident Research Unit (RARU) showed that, between 10p.m. and 3a.m., the proportion of drivers in Adelaide with a BAC greater than or equal to 0/08 decreased by 42%. • Drivers under 21 were identified as a possible problem area. • Fatalities in the twelve month period commencing May 1987 decreased by 18% in comparison with the previous twelve month period, and by 13% in comparison with the average of the previous two twelve month periods (commencing May 1985 and May 1986). There are indications that this trend is continuing. • It is concluded that the increase in RBT, plus publicity, was successful in achieving its aims of reductions in drink driving and accidents.

Early-onset depressive disorders,related mental health disorders and substance use-A prospective : longitudinal study of Finnish twins born 1983-1987

Early-onset psychiatric illnesses effects scatter to academic achievements as well as functioning in familial and social environments. From a public health point of view, depressive disorders are the most significant mental health disorders that begin in adolescence. Using prospective and longitudinal design, this study aimed to increase the understanding of early-onset depressive disorders, related mental health disorders and developing substance use in a large population-derived sample of adolescent Finnish twins. The participants of this study, FinnTwin12, an ongoing longitudinal population-based study, came from Finnish families with twins born in 1983-87 (exhaustive of five birth cohorts, identified from Finland s Central Population Register). With follow-up ongoing at age 20-24, this thesis assessed adolescent mental health in the first three waves, starting from baseline age 11-12 to follow-ups at age 14 and 17½. Some 5600 twins participated in questionnaire assessments of a wide range of health related behaviors. Mental health was further assessed among an intensively studied subsample of 1852 adolescents, who completed also professionally administered interviews at age 14, which provided data for full DSM-IV/III-R (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Health disorders, 4th and 3rd editions) diagnoses. The participation rates of the study were 87-92%. The results of the study suggest, that the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) may not capture youth with clinically significant early-onset depressive conditions outside clinical settings. Milder cases of depression, namely adolescents fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for minor depressive disorder, a qualitatively similar condition to MDD with fewer symptoms are also associated with marked suicidal thoughts, plans and attempts, recurrences and a high degree of comorbidity. Prospectively and longitudinally, early-onset depressive disorders were of substantial importance in the context of other mental health disorders and substance use behaviors: These data from a large population-derived sample established a substantial overlap between early-onset depressive disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adolescent females, both of them significantly predictive for development of substance use among girls. Only in females baseline DSM-IV ADHD symptoms were strong predictors of alcohol abuse and dependence and illicit drug use at age 14 and frequent alcohol use and illicit drug use at age 17.½ when conduct disorder and previous substance use were controlled for. Early-onset depressive disorders were also prospectively and longitudinally associated to daily smoking behavior, smokeless tobacco use, frequent alcohol use and illicit drug use and eating disorders. Analysis of discordant twins suggested that these predictive associations were independent of familial confounds, such as family income, structure and parental models. In sum, early-onset depressive disorders predict subsequent involvement of substance use and psychiatric morbidity. A heightened risk for substance use is substantial also among those depressed below categorical diagnosis of MDD. Whether early recognition and interventions among these young people hold potential for substance use prevention further in their lives has potential public health significance and calls for more research. Data from this population-derived sample with balanced representation of boys and girls, suggested that boys and girls with ADHD behaviors may differ from each other in their vulnerability to substance use and depressive disorders: the data suggest more adverse substance use outcome for girls that was not attenuated by conduct disorder or previous substance use. Further, the prospective associations of early-onset depressive disorders and future elevated levels of addictive substance use is not explained by familial factors supporting future substance use, which could have important implications for substance use prevention.
