Starting from street art and the use of the language, this article focuses his analysis in the artistic production of Rogelio López Cuenca. The semiotic discourse of his works, allows you to combine visual poetry criticism of political claim to the icons of public information in Western culture, most of the time, undergoing a rigidity of meanings. Through the appropriation of official signage, are analyzed works where the artist dismantles mechanisms through which power is installed in the icons of the society, transforming the content of their signs. Being, the idea of the art for the citizenship like activity mainly produced within the language, the touchstone of the work of this artist ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Bibliography: leaves 229-258. ; This is a study of the personal and social construction of meaning that political activists who have been involved in the South African liberation movement attribute to their lives. It examines the lives of a group of activists who were situated at the heart of the anti- apartheid movement for more than four decades. Their resistance to the wide-ranging laws and non-legal devices that the state employed to maintain white, Afrikaner Nationalist rule became the benchmark against which they lived their lives. 1960 saw an intensity of state oppression and brutality from which some activists escaped with their lives, while others were killed or jailed for life. The struggle to create a society where humanity and justice would triumph over cruelty and racial division was setback a generation. It took nearly three decades of defiance and unrest before Nelson Mandela was released from prison and South Africans sat down to negotiate the Interim Constitution that would guide the country towards its first democratic elections. ANC members in exile received indemnity so that they could return to the country and participate in the negotiations and four years later a new South Africa based on majority rule was won. Since these 1994 elections, South Africa has continued to undergo fundamental change from the old apartheid order to a new democratic dispensation. Oral stories are essential to this process as they contain memories of recent history that contribute significantly to contemporary political and social life, which in tum shape the future. The stories of the activists who comprise this study illustrate how their commitment to their cause and to themselves has shaped their lives, as well as those around them, and how meaningful engagement with the challenges of daily life can strengthen us as individuals.

Contemporary educational, economic, technological and equity pressures have given rise to a veritable flood of 'innovative' university teaching practices ostensibly designed to make teaching at once more effective, more efficient and more attractive to the student population. While the existence of these teaching innovations is easily documented and while many are celebrated uncritically - and optimistically - for their 'innovative' and 'flexible' nature, there is an absence of research focused on the actual and ongoing work (including significant technological, political, social, ethical and economic negotiations) required to make any educational innovation durable and stable. This paper reports on research within a current Australian Research Council Large Grant project that is designed to explore and document the actual work required to make university teaching innovations stable and durable. Drawing on the analytical resources provided by the sociology of translation (actor-network theory: ANT) and focusing on a particular instance of web-based university teaching within a Queensland university, this paper explores the usefulness of ANT for identifying the full range of influences, pressures and contexts (social and technical) which shape the design, development, implementation and, potentially, the stabilisation of educational innovations. The paper explores the way ANT based educational research can help us translate optimistic teaching goals into sustainable teaching practices.

Aus der Einleitung: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Bestimmungsfaktoren des stationären Patientenaufkommens und der Zahl der Pflegetage zu untersuchen, mit ihrer Hilfe Erklärungsgleichungen zu formulieren und mit dem Verfahren der multiplen Regression eine Analyse beider Größen durchzuführen. Anhand der so abgeleiteten Regressionsgleichungen kann dann jederzeit eine Prognose für das stationäre Patientenaufkommen erstellt werden. Die Regressionskoeffizienten der Gleichungen werden anhand der Daten der Jahre 1955 bis 1974 der Hamburger Krankenhäuser geschätzt; die Prognose geschieht für das Jahr 1985.
