Rosalía de Castro, sombra que se fai teoría

A figura auroral de Rosalía de Castro autorizou a aparición de novas poetas a finais do século XX mais, paradoxalmente, a partir da publicación dos seus libros fundacionais non xurdiu unha lexión de autoras que desde Cantares gallegos (1863) e Follas novas (1880) escribisen incesantemente a nación, ou simplemente, escribisen incesantemente en galego e tivesen por iso un recoñecemento canónico. Sen dúbida a intervención do patriarcadogaleguista provocou esa interrupción, que se entende mellor cando se teñenen conta os condicionantes socioliterarios que coutaban as mulleres escritoras (González Fernández, 2005: 15-19). Porque a finais do século XIX, e malia excepcións rechamantes, o pensamento hexemónicoconsideraba que as literatas eran unhas sabias ridículas, tal como sesancionara desde o coñecido capítulo V do Émile, ou l’Education (1762) deJean Jacques Rousseau en diante, aínda que houbese, por suposto, vocesdisidentes entre os seus contemporáneos, como Benito Jerónimo Feijoo noseu moi lido discurso XVI, Defensa de las mujeres, do seu Teatro crítico universal(1726). Nese sentido depreciativo do termo debe lerse o coñecido artigo deRosalía de Castro, Las literatas. Carta a Eduarda (1865).

Review of Rewriting Terror: The 9/11 Terrorists in American Fiction (Juanjo Bermúdez de Castro, 2012)

In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many authors of fiction, filmmakers, journalists, public figures and scholars have attempted to narrate, recreate, explain, reflect on, and theorize about the event and its aftermath.

Proyecto de construcción y puesta en marcha de nueva explotación de cebo porcino para 4.000 plazas en el término municipal de La Puebla de Castro (Huesca)

Aquest treball intenta explicar, de forma detallada, tots els materials, obres i processos que s’han de dur a terme per a la construcción d’una nova explotació d’engreix porcí. L’explotació que es projecta tindrà capacitat per a 4.000 places, i s’ubicarà al terme municipal de La Puebla de Castro, província d’Osca. Es tracta d’un projecte d’enginyeria on es descriu el disseny i el càlcul de les diferents edificacions i instal·lacions que formaran part de la futura explotació. Alhora, es realitzen diversos estudis com el de l’impacte ambiental o el de protecció contra incendis, per a complir el que estableix el Codi Tècnic de l’Edificació; i poder sol·licitar la llicència d’activitat per posar en funcionament l’explotació.

Erratum: Global pressures, specific responses: effects of nutrient enrichment in streams from different biomes

We assessed the effects of nutrient enrichment on three stream ecosystems running through distinct biomes (Mediterranean, Pampean and Andean). We increased the concentrations of N and P in the stream water 1.6–4-fold following a before–after control–impact paired series (BACIPS) design in each stream, and evaluated changes in the biomass of bacteria, primary producers, invertebrates and fish in the enriched (E) versus control (C) reaches after nutrient addition through a predictive-BACIPS approach. The treatment produced variable biomass responses (2–77% of explained variance) among biological communities and streams. The greatest biomass response was observed for algae in the Andean stream (77% of the variance), although fish also showed important biomass responses (about 9–48%). The strongest biomass response to enrichment (77% in all biological compartments) was found in the Andean stream. The magnitude and seasonality of biomass responses to enrichment were highly site specific, often depending on the basal nutrient concentration and on windows of ecological opportunity (periods when environmental constraints other than nutrients do not limit biomass growth). The Pampean stream, with high basal nutrient concentrations, showed a weak response to enrichment (except for invertebrates), whereas the greater responses of Andean stream communities were presumably favored by wider windows of ecological opportunity in comparison to those from the Mediterranean stream. Despite variation among sites, enrichment globally stimulated the algal-based food webs (algae and invertebrate grazers) but not the detritus-based food webs (bacteria and invertebrate shredders). This study shows that nutrient enrichment tends to globally enhance the biomass of stream biological assemblages, but that its magnitude and extent within the food web are complex and are strongly determined by environmental factors and ecosystem structure
