The Missionary Sphit in the Augustana Church George F. Hall \ THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN THE AUGUSTANA CHURCH The American church is made up of many varied groups, depending on origin, divisions, changing relationships. One of these was the Augustana Lutheran Church, founded by Swedish Lutheran immigrants and maintain ing an independent existence from 1860 to 1962 when it became a part of a larger Lutheran community, the Lutheran Church of America. The character of the Augustana Church can be studied from different viewpoints. In this volume Dr. George Hall describes it as a missionary church. It was born out of a missionary concern in Sweden for the thousands who had emigrated. As soon as it was formed it began to widen its field. Then its representatives were found in In dia, Puerto Rico, in China. The horizons grew to include Africa and Southwest Asia. Two World Wars created havoc, but also national and international agencies. -
AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Federico Cernuschi Rodilosso For
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Federico Cernuschi Rodilosso for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on February 11, 2011. Title: Geology of the Cretaceous Lascano-East Intrusive Complex: Magmatic Evolution and Mineralization Potential of the Merín Basin, Uruguay Abstract approved: John H. Dilles The Cretaceous Merín aborted-rift basin of eastern Uruguay is composed of sub- alkaline Paraná-Etendeka province basaltic flows and shallow intrusives (~133 to 131 Ma), rhyolitic ignimbrites (~130 to 128 Ma) and associated mildly alkaline to alkaline intrusions and volcanic rocks (~128 to 127 Ma). Four intrusive complexes from 20 to >30 kilometers wide are identified by circular positive gravity and cospatial magnetic anomalies and are aligned in a northeast-southwest trend. Whereas the outcropping Valle Chico complex is mainly composed by mildly alkaline syenites, drilling at Lascano East revealed mostly alkaline gabbros and trachytes. The Lascano-West and San Luis concealed complexes are inferred by the location of the aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies. Ten lithogeochemical units were identified and grouped into three rock associations. A sub-alkaline group composed of Treinta y Tres A basalts, Treinta y Tres B basalts and gabbros, Lavalleja rhyolitic ignimbries and San Miguel granodiorite granophyres; a mildly alkaline group including the Santa Lucía basalts and gabbros, Aiguá rhyolites, Valle Chico syenites and India Muerta rhyolites; and an alkaline group including the Lascano alkaline gabbro to trachyte series and the Arrayán olivine basalts. The only observed sedimentary rocks are conglomerates grouped as the Quebracho Formation. Melting of a shallow mantle source (depleted mantle) combined with abundant crustal assimilation likely produced the diversity of the sub-alkaline magmatic rocks. -

Business Opportunities Supervisor(s): Prof. Jorge Marchini Year: 2009 Number of pages: 59 Number of appendices: 3 _________________________________________________________________ The purpose of the final thesis was to find out potential business opportunities un- der the Fair-trade philosophy between Uruguay and Finland. Why Fair Trade and what products could be more interesting to commercialize. The first objective was to describe general information about both countries. The second objective was to introduce and analyze the Fair-trade and its development in both countries. The third objective was to find out the products that could be more interesting to the Finnish Fair-trade. The final thesis consists of two theoretical parts, one analysis and a study case. The history, culture and society, the economy and the bilateral treaties between the two countries make up the first part. The second part is focused on Fair-trade and its development in both countries along with an analysis of it. The third part is focused on Agrarian Cooperative of Canelones “CALCAR” study case in Uruguay with the aim to study the commercialization and market entry opportunities in the Finnish Fair-trade. As a result of the investigation it can be said that Finnish Fair-trade has a very sol- id structure and is constantly growing. -

Abstract: Groundwater arsenic in Uruguay is an important environmental hazard, hence, predicting its distribution is important to inform stakeholders. Furthermore, occurrences in Uruguay are known to variably show dependence on depth and geology, arguably reflecting different processes controlling groundwater arsenic concentrations. Here, we present the distribution of groundwater arsenic in Uruguay modelled by a variety of machine learning, basic expert systems, and hybrid approaches. A pure random forest approach, using 26 potential predictor variables, gave rise to a groundwater arsenic distribution model with a very high degree of accuracy (AUC = 0.92), which is consistent with known high groundwater arsenic hazard areas. These areas are mainly in southwest Uruguay, including the Paysandú,Río Negro, Soriano, Colonia, Flores, San José, Florida, Montevideo, and Canelones departments, where the Mercedes, Cuaternario Oeste, Raigón, and Cretácico main aquifers occur. -
