Bringing Reason And History Onto The Same Page: Lobato V. Taylor And The Struggle Over The Common Lands Of Spanish And Mexican Land Grants, Placido G. Gomez Jan 2004

Bringing Reason And History Onto The Same Page: Lobato V. Taylor And The Struggle Over The Common Lands Of Spanish And Mexican Land Grants, Placido G. Gomez

St. Thomas Law Review

Lawyers, scholars and commentators have struggled for decades to articulate the proper role of Spanish and Mexican law and culture in the context of land grant litigation. Historians and legal scholars have suggested that the clash of two distinct and incompatible land tenure systems was, and still is, at the core of the issue. Other scholars and commentators posit that land grant policy and litigation was driven by the United States' early twentieth century quest to organize its public domain and the unscrupulous efforts of land speculators. The efforts of academics, for the most part, did not provide the assistance …

Opiniones Y Respuestas: Resultados De Una Encuesta De Opinión A Médicos Mexicanos Sobre El Aborto, Diana K. Lara, Lisa Goldman, Michelle Firestone Jan 2004

Opiniones Y Respuestas: Resultados De Una Encuesta De Opinión A Médicos Mexicanos Sobre El Aborto, Diana K. Lara, Lisa Goldman, Michelle Firestone

Reproductive Health

En México es incuestionable el papel crucial que los médicos juegan en la oferta de servicios seguros de aborto legal y en la atención a las mujeres con abortos en evolución, espontáneos o inducidos, y abortos complicados. Sin embargo, ningún estudio dirigido a personal de salud, y específicamente a médicos, se había realizado con una muestra representativa a nivel nacional. Una brecha de ese tipo en la literatura científica justificó la realización, entre julio y agosto de 2002, de una encuesta nacional en la cual se recopiló información sobre los conocimientos y las opiniones de médicos gíneco-obstetras, médicos familiares y …

Encuesta De Opinión Católica En México: Julio 2003, Catolicas Por El Derecho A Decidir, Population Council

Reproductive Health

Desde que empezó sus trabajos en México en 1994, Católicas por el Derecho a Decidir ha manifestado su preocupación por la distancia cada vez mayor entre les enseñanzas morales de sectores conservadores de esta Iglesia y las necesidades, las opiniones y las prácticas de la comunidad católica. Hicieron una encuesta entre junio y julio del 2003 con el propósito de conocer y entender las opiniones de la feligresía católica mexicana respecto a diversos temas de carácter social y político, así como a asuntos relacionados con la salud reproductiva, la educación sexual, el matrimonio y el divorcio. También buscó conocer las …

Encuestas De Voluntad De Pago Para Fijar Precios De Productos Y Servicios De Salud Reproductiva: Manual De Usuarios, Karen G. Fleischman Foreit, James R. Foreit

Reproductive Health

Social programs need to balance volume (coverage) and income (sustainability). The law of supply and demand states that we can not obtain coverage and support at the same time, because when prices rise, demand decreases. This manual presents willingness-to-pay (WTP) surveys that allow program managers to simulate changes in demand related to price, without actually changing prices. The Population Council, with The Futures Group International, developed these surveys that can be used for existing and new products and services, collect responses from clients with no formal education with sensitivity to their individual characteristics, and provide conservative estimates that accurately predict …


Variation In The Performance Of Speech Acts In Peninsular Spanish: Apologies And Requests, Laura Elizabeth Stapleton Jan 2004

Variation In The Performance Of Speech Acts In Peninsular Spanish: Apologies And Requests, Laura Elizabeth Stapleton

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This study examines variations in the performance of speech acts and additional discourse features in situational speech patterns of Peninsular Spanish. Based on studies by Blum-Kulka, et al. (1989), nine situations were created, varying from less severe to more severe, to elicit natural responses for apologies and requests. Forty participants from Castile and Andalusia were interviewed, and the data were coded to examine the differences in speech act realizations and the use of specific discourse features. The participants’ responses were classified by regional, gender, and age differences for the data set. Sociolinguistic differences in the use of additional discourse features …


A Computational Approach To Resolving Certain Issues In Spanish Stress Placement, David Eddington Jan 2004

A Computational Approach To Resolving Certain Issues In Spanish Stress Placement, David Eddington

Faculty Publications

Previous research into Spanish stress assignment suggests that accentuation involves learning and storing individual word tokens along with their inherent stress patterns, and analogizing on stored words when the need arises to determine the stress pattern of an unknown or unavailable word. Exactly what variables are most relevant to stress assignment has been hotly debated. In the present study, a number of analogical simulations were carried out to determine whether elements of the CV tier, syllable weight, phonemic representation, or a combination of these, best accounts for accentuation in Spanish.
