The League of Women Voters of Texas is a non-partisan organization that works to promote political responsibility through active informed participation of all citizens in their government. In 1919, the Texas Equal Suffrage Association evolved into the Texas League of Women Voters, and today is recognized as the League of Women Voters of Texas. Their hallmark activity is the circulation of Voters' Guides through newspapers prior to elections; locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The League's intent is dissemination of information on political candidates, and the objective promotion of "political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government." The organization's efforts, however, are by no means limited to politics, but also address issues on water, health care, hazardous wastes, education, energy, and such international concerns as the United Nations. ; The records of the League of Women Voters of Texas also reflect socio-economic changes in the United States with the active organizational membership drives of the mid to late 1970s in response to American society's evolution into a two income family. Collectively, the materials provide researchers with invaluable insight into politics and political concerns on an international, national, statewide, and local basis. ; The collection consists of materials from national, state, and local files, financial materials, photographs, and publications of the National, Texas, and local leagues, as well as other state leagues. Also included are a study of the national league, scrapbooks, memorabilia, vice-presidential program files, and printed materials. The focus of the collection is on state committees and local units. ; Highlights from the donation include the original 1919 minutes from the Texas Equal Suffrage Association authorizing the organizational conversion to the Texas League of Women Voters, films produced by the group on legislative processes, the 104th Congressional recognition given and signed by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on the 75th anniversary of the League of Women Voters of Texas, and the flag that flew over the Texas capitol on that day. ; Box 5, Folder 22

Dr. Sherman P. Vinograd fulfilled the roles of Chief of Medical Science and Technology and Director of Biomedical Research at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from the fall of 1961 until the spring of 1979. In this role he shaped, organized, and directed NASA's program of medical research as a funded program of studies, which was carried out in not only NASA Center laboratories, but also in university, industry, and other government laboratories and hospitals all over the country. It produced a large substrate of information through its bed rest studies, vestibular, bone, neuromuscular, hematology, and cardiovascular researches. It also produced valuable fall-out, such as an accurate bone density measurement technique which is now in common clinical use. ; His major activities during this career were conceptualizing, establishing, and chairing the Space Medicine Advisory Group (SPAMAG) charged with defining the earth-based and space-based research and life-support requirements for a manned orbiting research laboratory. This group designed a carefully planned study utilizing highly qualified, specialized members of the scientific community. They postulated a non-existent orbiting laboratory to be designed according to the needs of future human flight crews and requirements for human spaceflight information. This would result in the creation of Skylab. ; He was also responsible for establishing the In-flight Medical Experiments Program in preparation for the Apollo series of manned space flights. This program was a series of carefully designed flight crew studies derived from proposals by qualified scientists both from within and outside NASA to evaluate human responses to spaceflight. ; In addition, Dr. Vinograd developed a supportive Research and Development Program necessary to provide pertinent ground-based data and to advance state-of-the-art medical measurement technology, a major development of which was the Integrated Medical and Behavioral Laboratory Measurement System (IMBLMS). This consisted of medical experiments and accompanying equipment necessary to perform them that was used from the Gemini through the Skylab manned space flight programs. Carried aboard virtually any post-Apollo space vehicle by virtue of its rack and module design, these designs were used well into the future. He also fostered the continuing ground-based medical research program sponsored and/or conducted by NASA. ; The Dr. Sherman P. Vinograd Aerospace Exploration collection consists of artifacts, books, correspondence, financial materials, newspapers, photographs, plaques, printed materials, and reports relating to Dr. Vinograd's early life, his career as an M. D. prior to joining NASA, his years as a physician and researcher at NASA, and the other professional organizations and projects in which he was involved both during and after these periods. ; Box 5, Folder 22

In 2017, I participated in a walking fieldtrip organized by First Story Toronto. It was an eye-opening experience. We explored various sites with significant Indigenous connections in downtown Toronto, Canada's primary immigrant-receiving city. Canada is both a nation of immigrants and a land belonging to Indigenous people, and the field trip addressed these diverging perspectives in a novel and hands-on way. As an academic, I'm used to dealing with issues through rigorous scholarship and conceptual theories, and to see this complex relationship presented in an experiential way was both humbling and inspiring. ; Bauder, H.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) recognizes aboriginal and treaty rights (section 25), official bilingualism (sections 16-20), and multiculturalism (section 27). The Charter also protects citizens from discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, or disability (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 1982). The spirit and values instilled by the Charter are significant to the field of education mission statements and policies endorsing diversity, inclusion and equity. Combined with different communities' advocacy for social change, teachers are increasingly called to impart equal opportunities for all children in increasingly diverse classrooms with equitable curricular and pedagogical practices. In that context, Educators on Diversity, Social Justice and Schooling: A Reader provides insight for practitioners. This book is edited by Sonya E. Singer and Mary Jane Harkins, with each chapter's authors representing various theoretical and methodological approaches. The book is organized in three thematic sections: diversity, social justice, and schooling. ; Jean-Pierre, J. (2019).

The current Liberal government has publicly endorsed a feminist agenda which has led to initiatives such as Canada's feminist international assistance policy (FIAP), initiated in 2017. At the same time, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Report (TRC) of 2015 reiterates how the histories of colonialism are still persistent and need to be addressed in our curriculum, research, and policy. This essay argues that a fully feminist agenda must be anti-colonial in nature, rejecting Eurocentric, stereotypical and universalizing explanations and leaving space for cultural interpretations, local solutions and listening to the voices of marginalized groups as experts. In short, FIAP and the TRC must be brought together in practical and policy-orientated ways to promote women's empowerment and gender equity through a decolonizing framework. In support of Canada's leading role in the advancement of refugee issues and the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR), and informed by its feminist approach to foreign policy and FIAP which "comes with "aggressive" funding targets for gender equality and women's empowerment" (CCIC, 2017), it is important to scrutinize the notion of gender empowerment and related notions, such as forced marriage and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Drawing on doctoral fieldwork conducted in Egypt summer of 2017, this paper uses the case of Syrian refugee women who marry 'for refuge' to explore how certain groups of refugee women and their stories challenge international humanitarian perceptions that often stigmatize similar arrangements as exploitation, sex trafficking and/or forced marriages. I use what I refer to as marriage for refuge and marriage immobility to demonstrate how humanitarian notions such as empowerment and related notions such as SGBV and forced marriage can be reimagined. The study aims to offer insights for a gender-responsive refugee policy that is feminist, decolonizing and sensitive to culture, context and diversity. ; Taha, D. (2019).

The Meaning of Ancestral Land For Naomi Based on Ruth 1: 1-22. The story of Naomi in Ruth 1: 1-22 is closely related to her ancestral land in Bethlehem-Judah. In Ruth 1: 1-3, Naomi is told to make a choice to leave her ancestral land. But Ruth 1: 6 explains that Naomi finally chose to return to her ancestral lands in Bethlehem-Judah after experiencing various suffering and tragedies in the land of Moab. Naomi's choice implied Naomi's perception of the economic, cultural, political and religious meaning of her ancestral land. Based on Ruth 1: 6-19-22, Naomi continues to acknowledge her ancestral land as the "mother" who gave birth to her, always faithfully welcomes her return, treats all the pain of her life; and even guarantee the prosperity of his life, the place that guarantees the rights of life and the social as a widow, and a safe place to worship faithfully to Allah the giver and the owner of his ancestral land. Makna Tanah Leluhur Bagi Naomi Berdasarkan Rut 1:1-22. Kisah Naomi dalam Rut 1:1-22 berkaitan erat dengan tanah leluhurnya di Betlehem-Yehuda. Dalam Rut 1:1-3, Naomi dikisahkan membuat pilihan untuk meninggalkan tanah leluhurnya. Namun Rut 1:6 menjelaskan bahwa Naomi akhirnya memilih untuk kembali ke tanah leluhurnya di Betlehem-Yehuda setelah mengalami berbagai penderitan dan tragedi di Moab tanah rantau. Pilihan Naomi tersebut tersirat persepsi Naomi tentang makna ekonomis, budaya, politis dan religious dari tanah leluhurnya. Berdasarkan Rut 1:6-19-22, Naomi tetap mengakui tanah leluhur nya sebaga "ibu" yang telah melahirkannya, selalu setia menyambut kepulangannya, mengobati semua kepedihan hidupnya; dan bahkan menjamin kesejahtraan hidupnya, tempat paling menjamin hak-hak hidup dan sosial sebagai seorang janda, dan tempat yang aman untuk beribadah dengan setia kepada Allah sang pemberi dan pemilik tanah leluhurnya.

Resignation and outrage colour veteran journalist Mary-Ann Barr's voice as she reflects on the Red Deer Advocate and its coverage of the recent Alberta provincial election. "There was a brief in the paper yesterday about who the candidates are—buried on page four," says the former editor and reporter who spent thirty-one years at what is now Red Deer's last remaining local newspaper. Black Press Media, which owns almost a 100 papers in western Canada, announced last month it could no longer afford two competing titles in the same city and shut down the weekly Red Deer Express. ; Lindgren, A.

En septiembre de 1955, un movimiento encabezado por las Fuerzas Armadas junto con la adhesión de numerosos sectores civiles, dieron fin al gobierno peronista mediante un golpe de estado. Luego del mismo, y del fracaso del proyecto conciliador del General Eduardo Lonardi, el presidente Pedro Eugenio Aramburu habilitó una serie de acciones tendientes a revisar el "régimen depuesto". En este marco surgieron las denominadas Comisiones Investigadoras con la finalidad de obtener herramientas justificadoras de la persecución y proscripción del peronismo. En este trabajo analizaremos los expedientes que elaboró la denominada "Comisión n° 22", la cual tuvo a su cargo la investigación sobre lo actuado en YPF durante el gobierno peronista, enfocándonos en los tipos de denuncias que se hallaron en los mismos. La hipótesis que guía este artículo es que no solamente la Revolución Libertadora impugnaba la politización de YPF, que la habría llevado a la decadencia y por ende a la "entrega del petróleo", sino que lo que resultaba ahora inadmisible era la fidelidad al peronismo que todavía expresaban los agentes de la empresa estatal luego de 1955.

Advocacy coalition groups such as closed border supporters and open border advocates play a role in Canada's immigration detention policy subsystem. Using political mobilization, they exploit pathways of policy change to promote policy objectives which favour or limit policy changes relating to the detention of asylum seekers and irregular migrants for immigration purposes in Canada. This paper investigates the role of actors from opposing advocacy coalition groups in promoting or challenging immigration detention in Canada. The paper adopts the theoretical underpinnings of "Advocacy Coalition Framework" as a lens of analysis to trace the role of advocacy coalition groups in recent history of Canada's immigration detention policy subsystem. This paper assumes an actor-centric approach with an aim to contribute to current body of knowledge on Canada's immigration detention policy subsystem.

Der vorliegende Forschungsbericht stellt den Abschluss der vom Bundesministerium der Verteidigung (BMVg) am 20121015 beauftragten Langzeitbegleitung der Soldatinnen und Soldaten des 22. Kontingents ISAF dar, die sich überwiegend von März bis Oktober 2010 im Rahmen der International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) im Einsatz in Afghanistan befanden. Der Fokus liegt auf längerfristigen Folgen und Wirkungen des Einsatzes. Die Angehörigen dieses Kontingents wurden im Rahmen der bis-her ersten soziologischen Langzeituntersuchung zu (Einsatz-)Soldaten und Veteranen der Bundeswehr über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Jahren vom Zentrum für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr (ZMSBw) sozialwissenschaftlich begleitet und mehrfach mit unterschiedlichen Methoden befragt: wenige Wochen vor dem Einsatz, während des Einsatzes in Afghanistan, wenige Wochen nach der Rückkehr und dann nochmals knapp drei Jahre später. Hierdurch sollen Erkenntnisse zu andauernden Veränderungen gewonnen werden. Die Untersuchung basiert auf einem komplexen Mixed-Methods-Design, das quantitative Fragebogenerhebung zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten sowie qualitative Methoden, vor allem Interviews, Gruppendiskussionen und teilnehmende Beobachtung beinhaltet. Das schließt Feldforschungen im Einsatz in Afghanistan mit ein.

From the creation of the free software in 70s, as an application that allows toshare information across the access not restricted to its source code, in anepoch where the copyright's laws did not exist that they were controlling andpenalizing for modifying a program, which was prosecuted was the diffusionof a legacy for the humanity who did not have an unique owner, in the sameway as the basic laws of the physics or the mathematics. Its currentpromotion has called the attention of governments who have adopted it,because as advantages as, the possibility of saving money in theimplementation of nacional technologies, for safety questions, or for the socialidealism of sharing without economic restrictions. Nevertheless, in theVenezuelan intellectual property legislation, the program of computationconstitutes a work from which there arises a series of exclusive rights fromuse and development for his author, that conceived this way, they constitute alimitation to the proper nature of a " free software ", and opposite to thisproblematics, one has worked in order to know each of these rights and theirapplicability in the above mentioned creation, to show a wide vision of thelegal repercussions that affect in the conditions, rights and obligations ofauthors and users of a opened standards software, identical to the IntellectualProperty Rights. For it there was adopted an investigation of documentarytype by bibliographical design and the method of documentary observation oflegal texts that regulate the intellectual property in the country, allowing toobtain results across a juridical applicable hermeneutics in the method ofdogmatic juridical analysis, concluding that the problematic circumscribe to noin the protection of the moral rights but the ones of exploitation. ; Desde la creación del software libre a partir de los años 70, como unaaplicación que permite compartir su información a través del acceso norestringido a su código fuente, en una época donde no existían las leyes decopyright que controlaran y penalizaran por modificar un programa, lo que seperseguía era la difusión de un legado para la humanidad que no tuviera unpropietario único, de la misma manera que las leyes básicas de la física o lasmatemáticas. Su actual promoción ha llamado la atención de gobiernosquienes lo han adoptado por ventajas como, la posibilidad de ahorrar dineroen la implementación de tecnologías a nivel nacional, por cuestiones deseguridad, o por un ideal social de compartir sin restricciones económicas.Sin embargo, en la legislación sobre propiedad intelectual venezolana, elprograma de computación constituye una obra de la que dimana una serie dederechos exclusivos de uso y explotación para su autor, que concebidos así,constituyen limitación a la naturaleza propia de un "software libre", y frente aesta problemática se ha trabajado con el objeto de conocer cada uno de esosderechos y su aplicabilidad en dicha creación, para mostrar una visión ampliade las repercusiones legales que inciden en las condiciones, derechos yobligaciones de autores y usuarios del software bajo estándares abiertos,acorde con el Derecho de Autor. Para ello se adoptó una investigación detipo documental con diseño bibliográfico y el método de observacióndocumental de textos legales que regulan la propiedad intelectual en el país,permitiendo obtener resultados a través de una hermenéutica jurídicaaplicable en el método de análisis dogmático jurídico y concluyendo que laproblemática radica no en la protección de los derechos morales sino en losderechos de explotación.
