Jorge Eliecer Gaitan and his term as mayor of Bogota, Colombia, June 1936 to February 1937

UpdeGraff, Ruth Ann 01 January 1968 (has links)
One of the most controversial figures in Colombian history is that of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, whose assassination of April 9, 1948, ended a twenty-year career in national politics.1 The Colombian writer-diplomat, Juan Lozano Y Lozano, has distinguished Gaitan as the man most responsible for creating a "new mood: in twentieth century Colombian politics.2 Essentially, this "new mood" is that of increased interest in national social problems which, during the lifetime of Gaitan, was accompanied by an increasing demand on the part of the masses for significant participation in the political processes of the nation. The paper is divided into three chapters. The first describes the setting for the initial political activity of Gaitan: the Colombian capital, Bogota. The second is a biographical study of Gaitan. The third examines the impact of Gaitan on Bogata during his term as mayor. An epilogue briefly discusses Gaitan after his mayoralty.

A Position-Space View on Chemical Bonding in Metal Digallides with AlB2 Type of Structure and Related Compounds

Quaresma Faria, Joao Rodolfo 05 March 2018 (has links)
The main focus of this work was to investigate substitution effects on the chemical bonding in compounds of AlB 2 -type and related structure types. Delocalization indices within the QTAIM approach and the topological analysis of the ELI functionals were used as tools to describe the bonding situation in digallides and diborides. Digallides of AlB 2 -type were found only within group I and II; for CaGa 2 (meta-stable phase), SrGa 2 , BaGa 2 , YGa 2 and LaGa 2 compounds. Within these compounds, QTAIM analysis showed similar trend as previously found in diborides. That is, along the period in the Periodic Table, metal-triel interactions increase at the expense of in-plane (triel-triel) ab interactions (Tr=triel). However, transition metal diborides adopt the AlB 2 -type up to group VI. To understand this difference, we simulated transition metal (TM) digallides and diborides up to group VI in the AlB 2 -type. Additionally, the puckered variants diborides ReB 2 and OsB 2 were also simulated in the AlB 2 -type. With filling of d shell, there is a delicate balance between increase of TM–Tr and decrease of in-plane (Tr–Tr) ab electron sharing. This balance is maintained as long as interlayer interactions in the c direction (Tr–Tr ) c and (TM–TM ) c are not relatively too high in comparison to in-plane electron sharing. In contrast to TM B 2 of AlB 2 -type, digallides in the same structure type build up strong interlayer interactions for early transition metal elements. Our results showed that within digallides, a relatively strong increase in interlayer electron sharing (Ga–Ga) c and (TM–TM ) c takes place. Such increase occurs already for ScGa 2 and TiGa 2 . On the other hand, diborides show a steady increase in electron sharing of TM –B and (TM–TM ) c , but not of (B–B) c . Therefore, it is reasonable to suggest that diborides will tend to adopt a 3D network composed of boron and transition metal atoms (ReB 2 and RuB 2 types). The additional high (Ga–Ga) c interlayer interactions indicate a tendency for digallides to form 3D networks composed only by gallium atoms, characteristic of CaGa 2 (CaIn 2 -type) and ScGa 2 (KHg 2 -type). The counterbalancing bonding effects of in-plane and out-of-plane interactions that give the chemical flexibility of the AlB 2 -type in diborides is thus disrupted in AlB 2 -type digallides by a further enhanced degree of interlayer interactions (Ga–Ga) c and (TM –TM ) c . This results in a smaller number of digallides than that of diborides in AlB 2 -type. The most conspicuous difference between diborides and digallides of AlB 2 -type is in the representation of the B – B and Ga – Ga bonds revealed by the ELI- D topology. Whereas AlB 2 -type diborides exhibit one ELI-D attractor at the B – B midpoint, AlB 2 -type digallides exhibit two ELI-D attractors symmetrically opposite around the Ga – Ga bond midpoint. We utilized the E 2 H 4 (E=triel, tetrel ) molecular series in the D 2h point group symmetry as model systems for solid state calculations. In particular, we addressed the appearance of ELI- D double maxima for Ga – Ga, by using orbital decomposition within the ELI framework. The ELI-D topology changes along the 13th group T r 2 H 4 series. Whereas B 2 H 4 and Al 2 H 4 exhibit one ELI-D attractor representing the Tr–Tr bond, Ga 2 H 4 and In 2 H 4 give rise to two ELI-D attractors. Partial ELI-D allows the orbital decomposition of the electron density. Partial ELI-q gives access to the decomposition of a two-particle property, which is given by the Fermi-hole curvature. We have found that the d-orbitals enable the formation of the two ELI-D attractors through pairing contributions. This has a net effect of lowering electron localizability at the Ga – Ga bond midpoint. Namely, the different ELI-D topology of Ga – Ga and B – B bonds stems from the contributions of d-orbitals to orbital pairing. We have also investigated the bonding situation in transition metal diborides of ReB 2 -type (MnB 2 , TcB 2 , ReB 2) and RuB 2 -type (OsB 2 , RuB 2). One can consider these two structure types as an extension of the trend found in TM B 2 of AlB 2 -type: an increase in TM –B interactions and an enhanced three-center bonding. The change in the structure type results in a puckered layer of boron atoms with electrons equally shared between B – B and TM –B. However, TM –B bonds exhibit a high three-center character. The ELI-D/QTAIM intersection technique also revealed a high participation of TM in the B – B bonding basin population. Moreover, ELI-D topology in the ReB 2 -type also discloses a seemingly important Re 3 three-center interaction along the flat layer of Re atoms. Such basin is absent in MnB 2 , which coincides with the fact that MnB 2 was only observed in the AlB 2 -type. In this regard, we concluded that the 3D network consists not only of covalent B – B bonds, but also of TM –B bonds.

THEORY AND PRACTICE: VIEWING INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION AS A PROCESS THROUGH AN EXAMINATION OF THE CREATION OF THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF MANUFACTURING

Lothstein, Alexander January 2017 (has links)
Despite the vast research on industrial innovation in the United States, little shows innovation as a process from the theoretical origins to its practical application. The image that emerges from the overall literature is one showing only the importance of applied innovation. This thesis argues that historians need to reevaluate how manufacturing advancements are studied in the United States. Using the creation of the American System of Manufacturing as a case study, this study focuses on innovation as a connected process from its theoretical origins to its applied state. This study focuses less on the individuals involved and more on the system itself. This accomplishes two points. First is that it shows that the idea is more important than the peoples. Second is that this thesis provides a greater understanding of how the American System of Manufacturing came to fruition. By examining these two points, this thesis demonstrates that historians need to look beyond the traditional application-only focus that has plagued the study of technological history. Instead historians must show industrial innovation as both the creation of the theoretical concept and the systems practical application. / History

National, religious, and linguistic identity construction within an internationalized university : insights from students in Egypt

Khabbar, Sanaa January 2017 (has links)
The last two decades have set the global trend of internationalized education on a new course. Besides the usual flow of international students from their home countries to Western universities, an opposite flow emerged. In the Middle East, for instance, the number of international campuses nearly doubled between 2000 and 2009, and Egypt has been no exception. Starting 2003, Egypt has witnessed a remarkable surge of private international universities that use English as a medium of instruction, adopt foreign curricula and have partnerships with universities in Europe, North America, and recently Asia. This trend has raised identity loss concerns among many intellectuals and educational researchers whose worries mainly revolved around national, religious, and linguistic identities. This longitudinal qualitative study, thus, aimed to understand how Egyptian freshman students at an international University in Cairo construct and negotiate their national, religious and linguistic identities. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 students at three different points of their first year at the university, and a focus group was organized at the beginning of their second year. Results revealed a more complex picture than the widespread simplistic rhetoric about international universities’ influence on students’ identity construction. The participants’ social and academic backgrounds and unique life experiences were an important factor in their identity construction and negotiation; they seemed to determine the ranking of those identities on their hierarchy of identities, which in turn shaped how they constructed and negotiated them. Moreover, participants realized and used their agency to negotiate their identities and resolve identity crises when these happened. They also resorted to other identity agents, particularly family and students’ clubs. This study contributes to the Egyptian debate on educational reform and adds to the literature on English as a medium of instruction, identity formation, and internationalized education by shedding light on the intricate ways in which students navigate through international education, and by suggesting pedagogical and policy implications applicable not only to liberal-education institutions in the region, but perhaps also to other universities in Europe and North America that attract international students, particularly with the recent waves of refugees from the Middle East.

Philanthropic Colonialism: New England Philanthropy in Bleeding Kansas, 1854-1860

Howe, Elijah Cody 29 February 2012 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In 1854 the United States Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska bill which left the question of slavery in the territory up to a vote of popular sovereignty. Upon the passage of the bill, New England’s most elite class of citizens, led by Eli Thayer, mobilized their networks of philanthropy in New England to ensure the Kansas-Nebraska territory did not embrace slavery. The effort by the New England elite to make the territories free was intertwined in a larger web of philanthropic motivations aimed to steer the future of America on a path that would replicate New England society throughout the country. The process and goal of their philanthropy in the Kansas-Nebraska Territory was not dissimilar from their philanthropy in New England. Moral classification of those in material poverty mixed with a dose of paternalism and free labor capitalism was the antidote to the disease of moral degradation and poverty. When Missourians resisted the encroachment of New Englanders on the frontier, the New England elites shifted their philanthropy from moral reform to the funding and facilitation of violence under the guise of philanthropy and disaster relief. For six years, until the outbreak of the American Civil War, New England philanthropists facilitated and helped fund the conflict known as Bleeding Kansas.

Limitations and liabilities: Flanner House, Planned Parenthood, and African American birth control in 1950s Indianapolis

Brown, Rachel Christine 09 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis analyzes the relationship between Flanner House, an African American settlement house, and Planned Parenthood of Central Indiana to determine why Flanner House director Cleo Blackburn would not allow a birth control clinic to be established at the Herman G. Morgan Health Center in 1951. Juxtaposing the scholarship of African Americans and birth control with the historiography of black settlement houses leads to the conclusion that Blackburn’s refusal to add birth control to the health center’s services had little to do with the black Indianapolis community’s opinions on birth control; instead, Flanner House was confined by conservative limitations imposed on it by white funders and organizations. The thesis examines the success of Blackburn and Freeman B. Ransom, Indianapolis’s powerful black leaders, in working within the system of limitations to establish the Morgan Health Center in 1947. Ransom and Blackburn received monetary support from the United Fund, the Indianapolis Foundation, and the U.S. Children’s Bureau, which stationed one of its physicians, Walter H. Maddux, in Indianapolis. The Center also worked as a part of the Indianapolis City Board of Health’s public health program. These organizations and individuals did not support birth control at this time and would greatly influence Blackburn’s decision about providing contraceptives. In 1951, Planned Parenthood approached Blackburn about adding birth control to the services at Morgan Health Center. Blackburn refused, citing the Catholic influence on the Flanner House board. While acknowledging the anti-birth control stance of Indianapolis Catholics, the thesis focuses on other factors that contributed to Blackburn’s decision and argues that the position of Flanner House as a black organization funded by conservative white organizations had more impact than any religious sentiment; birth control would have been a liability for the Morgan Health Center as adding contraceptives could have threatened the funding the Center needed in order to serve the African American community. Finally, the position of Planned Parenthood and Flanner House as subordinate organizations operating within the limitations of Indianapolis society are compared and found to be similar.
