I si deixem de parlar de preservació digital? Variacions sobre un tema de David Rosenthal, amb un poutpourri final amb la CDLib Orchestra

La preservació digital de la que parla la nostra literatura professional està plena de mites que pensem que s'han d'anar tombant un darrera l'altre, en aquesta presentació us els mencionarem.

La Llengua de l'heroi: notes sobre la llengua del segle XX a partir de les traduccions catalanes de David Copperfield de Charles Dickens

Estudi comparatiu de les dues traduccions catalanes publicades de David Copperfield de Charles Dickens. La primera de Josep Carner feta l’any 1930 però publicada el 1964 i la segona obra deJoan Sellent del 2003. L’anàlisi mostra que ambdues traduccions, excel·lents, reflecteixen una evolució singular i força accelerada del model de llengua que els traductors fan arribar al seu públic, que és reflex de la complexa història de la llengua catalana del segle xx, que encara s’had’escriure.

Anàlisi del fenomen turístic a Ripoll durant el període 1907-1936 a través de revistes històriques de la vila

L’objectiu principal d’aquest estudi és analitzar el fenomen turístic a Ripoll durant els primers anys del segle XX, concretament durant el període 1907-1936, a través de revistes setmanals de Ripoll d’aquesta època, ja que permeten observar què passava en aquells moments a la societat de la vila i com vivia el turisme, si ho veien com un aspecte negatiu o positiu. A més, el període s’ha escollit per veure com era el turisme a inicis del segle XX, però també per veure com va evolucionar i com es va estancar al 1936 amb l’esclat de la Guerra Civil

Ultrastructure of vitellogenesis and vitellocytes in the trypanorhynch cestode Aporhynchus menezesi, a parasite of the velvet belly lanternshark Etmopterus spinax

This is the first TEM examination of vitellogenesis in the cestode Aporhynchus menezesi, a parasite of the velvet belly lanternshark Etmopterus spinax and a member of a little-studied trypanorhynch family, the Aporhynchidae. The synthetic activity of vitellocytes plays two important functions in the developmental biology of cestodes: (1) their shell-globules serve in eggshell formation; and (2) their accumulated reserves of glycogen and lipids represent a food source for the developing embryo. In A. menezesi, vitelline follicles consist of cells at various stages of development, from peripheral, immature cells of the gonial type to mature cells towards the centre of the follicle. These stages are: (I) immature; (II) early differentiation; (III) advanced maturation; and (IV) mature. Gradual changes involved in this process occur within each stage. Vitellogenesis involves: (1) an increase in cell volume; (2) the development of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum and an accelerated formation and accumulation of both unsaturated and saturated lipid droplets, along with their continuous enlargement and fusion; (3) the formation of individual β-glycogen particles and their accumulation in the form of glycogen islands scattered among lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of maturing and mature vitellocytes; (4) the rapid accumulation of large, moderately saturated lipid droplets accompanied by dense accumulations of β-glycogen along with proteinaceous shell-globules or shell-globule clusters in the peripheral layer during the advanced stage of maturation; (5) the development of cisternae of granular endoplasmic reticulum that produce dense, proteinaceous shell-globules; (6) the development of Golgi complexes engaged in the packaging of this material; and (7) the progressive and continuous enlargement of shell-globules into very large clusters in the peripheral layer during the advanced stage of maturation. Vitellogenesis in A. menezesi, only to some extent, resembles that previously described for four other trypanorhynchs. It differs in: (i) the reversed order of secretory activities in the differentiating vitellocytes, namely the accumulation of large lipid droplets accompanied by glycogenesis or β-glycogen formation during early differentiation (stage II), i.e. before the secretory activity, which is predominantly protein synthesis for shell-globule formation (stage III); (ii) the very heavy accumulation of large lipid droplets during the final stage of cytodifferentiation (stage IV); and (iii) the small number of β-glycogen particles present in mature vitellocytes. Ultracytochemical staining with PA-TCH-SP for glycogen proved positive for a small number of β-glycogen particles in differentiating and mature vitellocytes. Hypotheses, concerning the interrelationships of patterns of vitellogenesis, possible modes of egg formation, embryonic development and life-cycles, are commented upon.

El Semi-Semanario Ilerdense (1822)

En este artículo se pretende analizar la prensa de la ciudad de Lleida durante el Trienio Liberal. Para ello se ha iniciado el texto introduciendo un contexto histórico marcado por la contrarrevolución realista destinada a acabar con el gobierno liberal. Para a continuación esbozar una breve caracterización de la prensa en el Trienio Liberal. Finalmente se estudian de una manera pormenorizada los ocho números del Semi-Semanario Ilerdense (1822), el único periódico editado y publicado en Lleida a lo largo del período liberal, el cual se identificó por su carácter liberal exaltado.

Historia de las mujeres y memoria histórica: Manuela Sáenz interpela a Simón Bolívar (1822-1830)

En la construcción de la historia de las mujeres, es necesario revisar a fondo las manipulaciones de la memoria sobre la presencia femenina, ya sea oculta o visible, en todas las sociedades históricas y actuales. Las interpretaciones muy divergentes de un icono feme- nino, Manuela Sáenz – la más famosa amante de Simón Bolívar – son un ejemplo paradig- mático que nos permite reflexionar, desde lo particular, sobre temas de ámbito más general.

Ultrastructural study of spermiogenesis and the spermatozoon of the proteocephalidean cestode Barsonella lafoni de Chambrier et al., 2009, a parasite of the catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) (Siluriformes, Clariidae)

Spermiogenesis in the proteocephalidean cestode Barsonella lafoni de Chambrier et al., 2009 shows typical characteristics of the type I spermiogenesis. These include the formation of distal cytoplasmic protrusions forming the differentiation zones, lined by cortical microtubules and containing two centrioles. An electron-dense material is present in the apical region of the differentiation zone during the early stages of spermiogenesis. Each centriole is associated to a striated rootlet, being separated by an intercentriolar body. Two free and unequal flagella originate from the centrioles and develop on the lateral sides of the differentiation zone. A median cytoplasmic process is formed between the flagella. Later these flagella rotate, become parallel to the median cytoplasmic process and finally fuse proximodistally with the latter. It is interesting to note that both flagellar growth and rotation are asynchronous. Later, the nucleus enlarges and penetrates into the spermatid body. Finally, the ring of arching membranes is strangled and the young spermatozoon is detached from the residual cytoplasm. The mature spermatozoon presents two axonemes of the 9 +"1" trepaxonematan pattern, crested body, parallel nucleus and cortical microtubules, and glycogen granules. Thus, it corresponds to the type II spermatozoon, described in almost all Proteocephalidea. The anterior extremity of the gamete is characterized by the presence of an apical cone surrounded by the lateral projections of the crested body. An arc formed by some thick and parallel cortical microtubules appears at the level of the centriole. They surround the centriole and later the first axoneme. This arc of electron-dense microtubules disorganizes when the second axoneme appears, and then two parallel rows of thin cortical microtubules are observed. The posterior extremity of the male gamete exhibits some cortical microtubules. This type of posterior extremity has never been described in proteocephalidean cestodes. The ultrastructural features of the spermatozoon/spermiogenesis of the Proteocephalidea species are analyzed and compared.

La (De)construcció de la masculinitat en el teatre de David Mamet

La reflexió efectuada per la teoria contemporania sobre la representació del genere es materialitza d'una manera privilegiada en el teatre. Esta clar que la perforrnativitat intrinseca del fenomen teatral és un espai idoni per qüestionar la construcció de la representació generica. No hi ha dubte que I'especificitat comunicativa del teatre es troba en la «fisicalitat)): I'element corporal té una importancia clau, ja síguí per la presencia física de I'equip actoral i del públic i per la condició efímera (el fet que cap representació no és igual a cap altra). Judith Butler ha escrit sobre el fet que els actes que constitueixen el genere tenen un paral.lelisrne en les actes performatius dels contextos teatrals. La identitat de genere no és una identitat completa, sinó que és una identitat que es construeix, una realització performativa en la qual creiern, i que representem corn si fos una creenca, com si fos una qüestió de fe. Per tant, les possibilitats de transformació del genere es troben en la relació arbitraria d'aquests actes i en la possibilitat d'un altre tipus de repetició (Butler, 1990: 33). L'obra del dramaturg, director, guionista i assagista nord-america David Marnet pot considerar-se una reflexió sobre la construcció de la masculinitat i, de retruc, de les tensions i reptes a que la masculinitat es troba sotmesa en el tornbant de segle. 1.

Ultrastructure of vitellogenesis and vitellocytes in the trypanorhynch cestode Aporhynchus menezesi, a parasite of the velvet belly lanternshark Etmopterus spinax
