Fragmentación Política Y Gobierno En Uruguay: ¿Un Enfermo Imaginario?, Daniel Buquet, Daniel Chasquetti, Juan A. Moraes Jan 1998

Fragmentación Política Y Gobierno En Uruguay: ¿Un Enfermo Imaginario?, Daniel Buquet, Daniel Chasquetti, Juan A. Moraes

Daniel Chasquetti

En un trabajo publicado en 1992, Carlos Pareja utilizaba la metáfora de Moliére del enfermo imaginario para referirse al sistema político uruguayo. La idea central del autor era que, a pesar de un cúmulo de diagnósticos negativos, los desempeños de los partidos y las instituciones democráticas nacionales no tenían porqué ser deficitarios. En este trabajo, continuando la línea de reflexión anotada, se propone establecer de forma empírica las performances de nuestro sistema político y los constreñimientos institucionales que las determinan. El sistema político uruguayo, en una de sus más agudas caracterizaciones, ha sido descrito como una “partidocracia” (Caetano, Rilla y …

Shackney, Agnese A. Pollice, Charles A. Smith, Laura E. Janocko, Lillian Sweeney, Kathryn A. Brown, Sarita G. Singh, Lingping Gu, Robert Yakulis, Joseph F. Lucke

Joseph Lucke

Multiparameter flow cytometry studies were performed on cells from the primary tumors of 94 patients with breast cancer. Correlated cellular measurements of cell DNA content, Her-2/neu, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and p21ras levels were performed on each of 5,000 to 100,000 cells from each tumor. When criteria for positivity were matched with those in common use for immunohistochemical studies, 28 of 94 (30\%) breast cancers were classified as positive for Her-2/neu overexpression. When similar criteria were applied to the EGFR measurements, 23 of 94 (24\%) cases were classified as positive for EGFR overexpression. Similarly, 23 of 94 (24\%) cases …

Le Droit À L’Autodétermination Entre Le Sujet Individuel Et Le Sujet Collectif. Réflexions Sur Le Cas Particulier Des Peuples Indigènes, Serge Gutwirth Jan 1998

Le Droit À L’Autodétermination Entre Le Sujet Individuel Et Le Sujet Collectif. Réflexions Sur Le Cas Particulier Des Peuples Indigènes, Serge Gutwirth

Serge Gutwirth

Le droit à l'autodétermination est problématique parce qu'il se prête aussi bien à une interprétation individuelle que collective. Si pour certains le droit à l'autodétermination se réfère automatiquement à l'autonomie et aux libertés de l'individu, pour d'autres le même concept est indissociablement lié à des entités collectives telles que peuples, ensembles nationaux, minorités ethniques, communautés religieuses, groupes, etc. Or, ces deux prises de position ne sont pas aisément conciliables. Les aspirations collectives peuvent limiter les aspirations individuelles, tandis que ces dernières ne s'accordent pas souvent aux premières. Une vie individuelle n'est, de surcroît, jamais simplement ou automatiquement réductible à un …

Ridgetop Splitting, Spreading, And Shattering Related To Earthquakes In Southern California, James P. Mccalpin Jan 1998

Ridgetop Splitting, Spreading, And Shattering Related To Earthquakes In Southern California, James P. Mccalpin

James P. McCalpin

Our mapping documents that anomalous ridgetop landforms are numerous in the San Gabriel and Santa Susana Mountains, and that many sites (37% of the San Gabriel sites, 16% of the Santa Susana sites) are not associated with any visible signs of landsliding. These sites may represent deep-seated gravitational spreading due to earthquake shaking. However, our factor analysis indicates that the spatial distribution of these suspected spreading landforms, with respect to ridge relief and distance to Late Quaternary faults, is essentially identical to that of landslides. Thus, it seems that if these spreading landforms represent the results of earthquake shaking, than …

Statistics Of Paleoseismic Data, James P. Mccalpin Jan 1998

Statistics Of Paleoseismic Data, James P. Mccalpin

James P. McCalpin

Compiled data from numerous neotectonic-geomorphic and trench studies reveals patterns in the spatial and temporal variation of coseismic fault displacement. Recurrence intervals between successive large earthquakes on faults define a near-symmetrical probability distribution with a coefficient of variance of 0.36. Normal faults have the most regular recurrence, and subduction zones the most variable. Variability in recurrence times at a site is not dependent on the number of recurrence intervals dated at that site. During historic surface-rupturing earthquakes slip has varied widely along strike. Based on 56 ruptures where more than 15 displacement measurements were made, the generic pattern is for …

Nursing Management Of Anxiety In Hiv Infection, Kenneth D. Phillips, J. Morrow Jan 1998

Nursing Management Of Anxiety In Hiv Infection, Kenneth D. Phillips, J. Morrow

Kenneth D. Phillips

Anxiety is a universal problem for individuals with AIDS because the disease creates uncertainty and disruptions in every aspect of their lives. Nurses have a wide variety of holistic interventions to help persons living with AIDS (PLWAs) manage anxiety. Orem’s self-care theory of nursing provides a framework for assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care for an HIV-infected person experiencing anxiety. This article presents an overview of anxiety, the nature of anxiety in HIV-infected individuals, and psychological, pharmacological, and holistic interventions to assist the client in self-care of anxiety.

Evaluation Of Chloride And Pesticide Transport In A Fractured Clayey Till Using Large Undisturbed Columns And Numerical Modeling, Peter R. Jorgensen, Larry Mckay, Niels H. Spliid Jan 1998

Evaluation Of Chloride And Pesticide Transport In A Fractured Clayey Till Using Large Undisturbed Columns And Numerical Modeling, Peter R. Jorgensen, Larry Mckay, Niels H. Spliid

Larry McKay

Saturated groundwater flow and tracer experiments using fluorescent dye, chloride, and the herbicides mecoprop and simazine were carried out in the laboratory using three large-diameter (0.5 m) undisturbed columns of fractured clayey till. Hydraulic conductivity of the columns ranged from 10−5 m/s in the shallowest column (1 m dept)) to 10−7 m/s in the deepest column (4 m depth) and were similar to field-measured values for these deposits. Results of the tracer experiments are consistent with a conceptual model of advective transport along the fractures combined with diffusion into the fine-grained matrix between the fractures. Arrival of the chloride tracer …

Guoxun Chen

Leptin regulates appetite and body weight via hypothalamic targets, but it can act directly on cultured pancreatic islets to regulate their fat metabolism. To obtain in vivo evidence that leptin may act peripherally as well as centrally, we compared the effect of adenovirally induced hyperleptinemia on food intake, body weight, and islet fat content in ventromedial hypothalamic-lesioned (VMHL) rats, shamlesioned (SL) controls, and Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats in which the leptin receptor is mutated. Infusion with recombinant adenovirus containing the rat leptin cDNA increased plasma leptin by z 20 ng/ml in VMHL and ZDF rats but had no effect …

Birkman Screening And The Covariance Of The Fluid Velocity Of Fixed Beds, Ashok S. Sangani, Donald L. Koch, Reghan J. Hill Jan 1998

Birkman Screening And The Covariance Of The Fluid Velocity Of Fixed Beds, Ashok S. Sangani, Donald L. Koch, Reghan J. Hill

Ashok S. Sangani

The phenomenon of Brinkman screening, whereby the fluid velocity disturbance produced by each particle in a fixed bed is attenuated by the forces that the fluid exerts on surrounding particles, plays a crucial role in limiting the range of velocity correlations in porous media and fixed beds. Koch and Brady [J. Fluid Mech. 154, 399 (1985)] showed theoretically that Brinkman screening leads to a finite hydrodynamic diffusion coefficient for fluid phase tracers in dilute fixed beds. In this Letter, we present the results of two simulation techniques (lattice-Boltzmann method and a multipole method) confirming the screening of the fluid velocity …

Abortion And Women's Legal Personhood In Germany: A Contribution To The Feminist Theory Of The State, D. A. Jeremy Telman Jan 1998

Abortion And Women's Legal Personhood In Germany: A Contribution To The Feminist Theory Of The State, D. A. Jeremy Telman

D. A. Jeremy Telman

This article looks at abortion regulation in Germany in the context of the full range of laws through which the state specifies the status of women as legal persons. Reviewing Germany's most important abortion law decisions in 1975 and 1993, the article contends that while the Constitutional Court struck a balance between the East German legacy of reproductive freedom and West Germany's robust protections of the right to life, it did so by undermining the legal structures that had facilitated full civil, economic and political equality for women in East Germany through legal regimes geared towards protecting women's reproductive autonomy.
