This dissertation explores the musical traditions of the Penitentes of New Mexico and how these traditions influenced James (Santa Fe) Galloway’s Alabado for soprano, alto flute, and piano. Due to geographical isolation and religious seclusion the music of the Penitential Brotherhood is not well known outside of these New Mexican communities. The focus of this study, as pertaining to the music of the Penitentes, is the alabado “Por el rastro de la cruz,” and the pito, a handmade wooden flute. Included in this paper are transcriptions of pito melodies performed by Vicente Padilla, Cleofes Vigil, Emilio Ortiz, and Reginald Fisher, which have been transcribed by John Donald Robb, William R. Fisher, Reginald Fisher, and Rebecca Weidman-Winter. Few resources are available on Galloway or Alabado, an unpublished work, yet the popularity of this piece is apparent from the regular performances at the National Flute Association Conventions and by flutists throughout the United States. This paper represents a significant contribution to the study of Alabado, the composer, and how this composition reflects the music, history, and people of New Mexico.

This thesis examines the ill-fated Texan Santa Fe Expedition of 1841 to analyze the state of a lucrative market network in the Southwest. Cut off from Santa Fe, the hub of the network, Texas struggled economically as an independent nation. Commercially isolated and dealing with near- worthless paper money, Texans hoped that trade with the people of Santa Fe would divert wealth into their nation. To justify the expedition, Anglo-Texans used the rhetoric of Manifest Destiny and turned the trek into a liberation mission. Moreover, Texans desired an overland route to Santa Fe to attract merchants to their otherwise inactive ports. Texans invested much into the expedition both economically and culturally; however, the Texan Santa Fe Expedition ended in utter failure and convinced many Texans that annexation to the United States was the wiser path to take. / Master of Arts

Les objectifs de cette étude de cas consistaient à identifier les barrières et les facteurs encourageant le recours aux soins prénatals dans la ville de Rosario en Argentine, ainsi qu'à dégager des orientations permettant d'optimiser l'utilisation des services. Les deux échantillons sont composés de nouvelles mères (n=11) et de dispensateurs (n=8) des services publics de santé municipaux de la ville de Rosario. La collecte a été réalisée à partir d'entrevues individuelles, à l'aide d'un guide d'entretien semi-ouvert. Les résultats de l'étude démontrent qu'il n'existe pas de barrières importantes à l'utilisation des services publics de santé prénatale dans la ville de Rosario. Les retards des premières consultations médicales ou l'absence de suivi seraient davantage en lien avec l'acceptation de la grossesse. Alors qu'il y a 15 ans la moitié des grossesses n'étaient pas suivies adéquatement, le corps médical estime que les femmes sur-utiliseraient maintenant les services de santé prénatale. Le déterminant le plus significatif de l'utilisation des soins prénatals est la conviction des femmes que le suivi de la grossesse est nécessaire pour le bien-être de leur fœtus. Les femmes qui ont eu un suivi de moins de 1 visite par mois ont manifesté de l'insatisfaction quant aux aspects médicaux et émotionnels des soins. Les femmes apprécient particulièrement la disponibilité de spécialités médicales et d'analyses (échographies), mais sont avant tout reconnaissantes d'avoir accès gratuitement aux soins. / The objectives of this case study were to identify factors that encourage women to consult healthcare services during pregnancy, as well as the barriers that prevent them from doing so. We also identify trends that could aid in formulating strategies to optimize prenatal care utilization in the city of Rosario in Argentina. We recruited 11 new-mothers and 8 healthcare workers in the public health sector of the municipality of Rosario. Data was collected based on partially open ended interviews. Results of the study show that there are no considerable barriers to public prenatal care utilization in Rosario. However, we did find a strong association between those women who delayed consultation regarding their pregnancy and those who had trouble accepting the fact that they were pregnant. The incidence of prenatal care utilization has increased dramatically from just fifteen years ago when only half of all pregnant women sought adequate prenatal care. As such, the medical community believes that women are now overusing the services. The most significant determinant of prenatal care utilization is the women's conviction that medical care during pregnancy is necessary for the well-being of their child. The women we studied are expecting at least one consultation per month during their pregnancy. Those who felt they did not have enough visits also expressed dissatisfaction with the medical and emotional aspects of their care. Although the women we talked to appreciated access to specialized medical care services and technologies, they were above all grateful for access to free healthcare.
