Ana Jansen: emprendedorismo feminino no século XIX

A tese Ana Jansen: Empreendedorismo feminino no século XIX teve como objetivo investigar como Ana Jansen manifestou sua capacidade empreendedora e adminis-trativa no contexto tradicionalmente patriarcal, predominante no Maranhão no início do século XIX. Para tanto, tornou-se necessário Identificar os aspectos sócio-econômicos brasileiro e maranhense, caracterizar os aspectos relacionados ao em-preendedorismo no Brasil, contextualizar o papel da mulher no século XIX e analisar a atuação de Ana Jansen na administração, política, economia e na sociedade maranhense. Para concretização do estudo utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo. Os métodos utilizados foram à historiografia e a análise de conteúdo. Os dados levantados foram analisados através do modelo de análise adaptado dos ensinamentos de Quivy e Campenhoudt (2008), onde foram identificados os conceitos, as dimensões operacionais e indicadores indispensáveis para apresentação dos resultados. Após a análise, constatou-se que o empreendedorismo de Donana passou a ser manifestado a partir das reações do seu contexto sendo que Ana Jansen soube perceber essas mudanças criando sua própria forma de ganhar e multiplicar o seu capital.

Conservatorio de Música de Málaga: Proceso Pedagógico, Historia y género (1869-1959)

La investigación reconstruye la Historia del Conservatorio de Música de Málaga desde su inicio en el 1869 hasta el año 1959, momento que en su funcionamiento y dinámica tiene cierta analogía con el actual centro musical. En el trabajo confluyen tres vertientes de interés que se muestran convergentes y nos proporcionan una interesante visión y lectura de los hechos de: Historia, Pedagogía y Género, presentándose en tres bloques: 1. Historia y legislación: A lo largo de este periodo y partiendo de su correspondiente contextualización en la sociedad malagueña de la época, se tratan los elementos materiales, personales y funcionales, reconstruyendo datos de interés como las distintas ubicaciones, la financiación y base económica, los Directores que marcaron con su gobierno las diferentes etapas, las historias de los profesores que ejercieron en el centro, las circunstancias y características de los alumnos, los órganos de inspección, los reglamentos empleados, las oposiciones y procesos de acceso a la plantilla docente, las asignaturas que se impartieron, el material, el archivo musical, la biblioteca, los manuales en uso, las evaluaciones y exámenes, los resultados académicos, los títulos, la asociación de alumnos, las gratuidades y becas que se administraron, los actos más relevantes que se organizaron…. 2. Mujeres: Se sitúa al género femenino en el contexto educativo de la época, haciendo especial énfasis en el papel que tenía la música en dicha formación. A continuación se argumenta la desconocida relación profesional y cooperación que existía entre las docentes del Conservatorio malagueño y las de la Escuela Normal de Magisterio, entre las que se hallan profesoras de reconocida y estudiada trayectoria como Ana María Sólo de Zaldívar Hidalgo Chacón, María del Buen Suceso Luengo y de la Figuera, Elena Prieto Fernández de Segura, Clotilde Marín Alcalá, Emilia Miquel, María Luisa Soriano Alba, Victoria Montiel…. para terminar reconstruyendo la vida de cuatro profesoras destacadas de reconocido valor ligadas al Conservatorio: Julia Parody, Julia Torras, María Luisa Soriano Alba y Rosa Faria. Se observa en esta etapa del estudio la fuerte predominancia entre los alumnos del género femenino, aunque paradójicamente los profesionales que posteriormente se dedicaban a estos oficios eran fundamentalmente hombres. Se reflejan así los estándares que guiaban la sociedad patriarcal de entonces. Puede percibirse sin embargo un cambio sustancial con el transcurrir de los años, pues si en un inicio el Conservatorio se revela como un centro elitista que acoge sobre todo a Señoritas de la alta burguesía malagueña, de las cuales un alto porcentaje interrumpe sus estudios o los abandona para atender obligaciones maritales o familiares , poco a poco se va disolviendo ese carácter elitista y femenino de la institución, para acoger cada vez a más alumnos de clase media e incluso baja y de ambos sexos. 3. Causas y consecuencias de la labor pedagógica: se argumenta y prueba la influencia del Krausismo y la Masonería en la creación y desarrollo del centro musical, recuperando los nobles personajes que desde estas corrientes crearon y velaron por el desarrollo del centro musical custodiando y favoreciendo su evolución. Se revela cómo los premios y concursos programados por el Conservatorio supusieron la motivación y prestigio de toda una época que dejó a su paso una estela de grandes músicos. Las diferentes Metodologías empleadas no sólo utilizaban las teorías en tendencia de Maestros reputados como Hilarión Eslava, pues también se idearon y escribieron tratados propios e inéditos, sumergidos en el devenir de la historia que han sido rescatados. El Conservatorio se nutrirá del paso de magníficos profesores que dejaron su huella en prolíficas generaciones. De todos aquellos la investigación detiene la mirada en la Escuela Pianística, por ser la especialidad de preferencia del género femenino, para descubrir la línea metodológica heredada en el Piano y sus correspondientes derivaciones y ramificaciones de generación en generación, desde el profesor Ricardo Pascual a Barranco Borch, ramificándose posteriormente en Madrid con Julia Parody y reafirmándose en Málaga con Julia Torras hasta la generación de la familia Socías. Dicha Escuela Pianística dio fecundos frutos, encarnados en alumnos que destacarían en el panorama internacional como Manuel Carra o Esteban Sánchez.

Raman spectroscopic study of the mineral qingheiite Na2(Mn2+,Mg,Fe2+)2(Al,Fe3+)(PO4)3, a pegmatite phosphate mineral from Santa Ana pegmatite, Argentina

The pegmatite mineral qingheiite Na2(Mn2+,Mg,Fe2+)2(Al,Fe3+)(PO4)3 has been studied by a combination of SEM and EMP, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The studied sample was collected from the Santa Ana pegmatite, Argentina. The mineral occurs as a primary mineral in lithium bearing pegmatite, in association with beausite and lithiophilite. The Raman spectrum is characterized by a very sharp intense Raman band at 980 cm�1 assigned to the PO3�4 symmetric stretching mode. Multiple Raman bands are observed in the PO3�4 antisymmetric stretching region, providing evidence for the existence of more than one phosphate unit in the structure of qingheiite and evidence for the reduction in symmetry of the phosphate units. This concept is affirmed by the number of bands in the m4 and m2 bending regions. No intensity was observed in the OH stretching region in the Raman spectrum but significant intensity is found in the infrared spectrum. Infrared bands are observed at 2917, 3195, 3414 and 3498 cm�1 are assigned to water stretching vibrations. It is suggested that some water is coordinating the metal cations in the structure of qingheiite.

Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013

Background The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) is the first of a series of annual updates of the GBD. Risk factor quantification, particularly of modifiable risk factors, can help to identify emerging threats to population health and opportunities for prevention. The GBD 2013 provides a timely opportunity to update the comparative risk assessment with new data for exposure, relative risks, and evidence on the appropriate counterfactual risk distribution. Methods Attributable deaths, years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) have been estimated for 79 risks or clusters of risks using the GBD 2010 methods. Risk–outcome pairs meeting explicit evidence criteria were assessed for 188 countries for the period 1990–2013 by age and sex using three inputs: risk exposure, relative risks, and the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL). Risks are organised into a hierarchy with blocks of behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks at the first level of the hierarchy. The next level in the hierarchy includes nine clusters of related risks and two individual risks, with more detail provided at levels 3 and 4 of the hierarchy. Compared with GBD 2010, six new risk factors have been added: handwashing practices, occupational exposure to trichloroethylene, childhood wasting, childhood stunting, unsafe sex, and low glomerular filtration rate. For most risks, data for exposure were synthesised with a Bayesian meta-regression method, DisMod-MR 2.0, or spatial-temporal Gaussian process regression. Relative risks were based on meta-regressions of published cohort and intervention studies. Attributable burden for clusters of risks and all risks combined took into account evidence on the mediation of some risks such as high body-mass index (BMI) through other risks such as high systolic blood pressure and high cholesterol. Findings All risks combined account for 57·2% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 55·8–58·5) of deaths and 41·6% (40·1–43·0) of DALYs. Risks quantified account for 87·9% (86·5–89·3) of cardiovascular disease DALYs, ranging to a low of 0% for neonatal disorders and neglected tropical diseases and malaria. In terms of global DALYs in 2013, six risks or clusters of risks each caused more than 5% of DALYs: dietary risks accounting for 11·3 million deaths and 241·4 million DALYs, high systolic blood pressure for 10·4 million deaths and 208·1 million DALYs, child and maternal malnutrition for 1·7 million deaths and 176·9 million DALYs, tobacco smoke for 6·1 million deaths and 143·5 million DALYs, air pollution for 5·5 million deaths and 141·5 million DALYs, and high BMI for 4·4 million deaths and 134·0 million DALYs. Risk factor patterns vary across regions and countries and with time. In sub-Saharan Africa, the leading risk factors are child and maternal malnutrition, unsafe sex, and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing. In women, in nearly all countries in the Americas, north Africa, and the Middle East, and in many other high-income countries, high BMI is the leading risk factor, with high systolic blood pressure as the leading risk in most of Central and Eastern Europe and south and east Asia. For men, high systolic blood pressure or tobacco use are the leading risks in nearly all high-income countries, in north Africa and the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. For men and women, unsafe sex is the leading risk in a corridor from Kenya to South Africa. Interpretation Behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks can explain half of global mortality and more than one-third of global DALYs providing many opportunities for prevention. Of the larger risks, the attributable burden of high BMI has increased in the past 23 years. In view of the prominence of behavioural risk factors, behavioural and social science research on interventions for these risks should be strengthened. Many prevention and primary care policy options are available now to act on key risks.
