El espejo de Pandora : Identidad y monstruosidad en Penny Dreadful

La serie Penny Dreadful (2014-presente) recupera personajes y tramas de novelas de terror y/o fantásticas ampliamente conocidas. La propuesta narrativa de esta serie creada por John Logan sitúa dichos elementos en la convulsionada Londres decimonónica y los fusiona, configurando así un discurso propio acerca de la "monstruosidad" de los personajes que presenta. En esta refundición, la serie ejercita una serie de reflexiones sobre la condición humana y la del monstruo. Como se plantea en la segunda temporada, al retomar el mito de Pandora y reformularlo, la distinción entre el hombre y el monstruo parece quedar en suspenso, dando lugar a una concepción de la monstruosidad diferente a la que encontramos en otras producciones televisivas contemporáneas. En este artículo analizamos las representaciones de la monstruosidad y las identidades en Penny Dreadful para ello prestaremos especial atención a los personajes y sus interacciones a lo largo de la primera y segunda temporada de la serie, así como a la relación entre la serie y sus fuentes literarias

'Oficio de ángel', de Miguel Barnet: la memoria en un espejo fragmentado

[ES]La evocación infantil y juventil le ha servido al escritor cubano Miguel Barnet como recurso para articular un discurso fragmentado que oscila entre el género testimonial y la escritura autobiográfica. 'Oficio de Ángel' (1989) es un testimonio que adopta la forma de la ficción y una novela que recrea engañosamente la vida real.

La discapacidad en el espejo y en el cristal: derechos humanos, discapacidad y toma de conciencia, artículo 8 de la Convención Internacional sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, un camino previo por recorrer

Esta obra de investigación sociojurídica ahonda en el binomio derechos humanos y discapacidad, haciendo hincapié en cómo se reconoce el valor de la vida de las personas con discapacidad en las sociedades actuales. La primera parte de la obra se centra en la situación de invisibilidad, marginación y exclusión social y jurídica a la que se enfrentan estas personas; en la Teoría General de los Derechos Humanos; y en el análisis crítico sobre la normativa de Naciones Unidas, poniendo en evidencia sus carencias en lo que respecta a las personas con discapacidad. La segunda parte gira en torno al análisis del artículo 8 de la Convención Internacional sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, relativo a la toma de conciencia. La tesis de la obra parte y finaliza en este artículo y desde el mismo se desarrolla todo el análisis de la realidad social y jurídica. Se plantea cuál es la imagen que representa a los sujetos de derechos y cómo se debe transformar esa imagen para incluir todo el espectro de la diversidad humana; solo de esa forma la inclusión y el reconocimiento de la igualdad de todas las personas, incluidas aquellas con discapacidad, será la consecuencia natural del reconocimiento pleno de su humanidad y sus derechos.

Los convulsos años treinta en el espejo del tiempo: La rehabilitación de la responsabilidad social del escritor

In the 21st century field of culture, the economic crisis (and its consequences) has fomented a debate on the social responsibility of the writer. In particular quite a few works of Spanish literature account for a marked responsible, interventionist and dissident discourse. Thus, from the present day and aware of historicity, this article pauses at a key episode in the trajectory of the said debate: the rehumanization of art during the 1930s, the passing from autonomy to commitment in art. A crucial aspect in the Edad de Plata is addressed with the aim of precisely showing how a milestone in the attitude of the creator before society and its disruptions arose, how an exemplary case developed for exploring aspects specific to this positioning of the author, which is itself being reconsidered today.

Un estudio de Alicia en el pa?s de las maravillas y Alicia a trav?s del espejo con un enfoque en la ense?anza de las matem?ticas

Cuando se ense?an las matem?ticas se debe tener claros los conceptos que se abordar?n en la clase, pero no se puede dejar de lado que dichos conceptos surgieron en un momento hist?rico y que fueron construidos por estudiosos de las matem?ticas bajo un contexto determinado, lo cual sirve para conocer el por qu? surgieron las matem?ticas, para qu? que se ense?an en la escuela, qu? se debe ense?ar y qu? esperan los estudiantes aprender, debido a que constantemente se preguntan si las matem?ticas les servir? de algo en su d?a a d?a. Las matem?ticas se van construyendo y se enriquecen de nociones, muchas veces expl?citas como bien se conoce, o en otras impl?citas como es el caso que se observa en diversas obras literarias. Espec?ficamente, en este trabajo se abordar?n algunos cap?tulos de dos libros que parecen ser solo para un p?blico infantil, se trata de ?Alicia en el pa?s de las maravillas? y ?Alicia a trav?s del espejo?, escritos por un matem?tico ingl?s de la ?poca victoriana, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, m?s conocido en la literatura como Lewis Carroll. Pues bien, para poder comprender estas dos obras desde la mirada matem?tica, se hizo necesario partir no solo del desarrollo matem?tico de la Inglaterra victoriana, sino tambi?n conocer una edici?n comentada de las obras por parte del autor Manuel Garrido y desde la filosof?a del lenguaje, por lo cual se tomaron como referente los trabajos del fil?sofo Jairo Urrea Henao quien a su vez menciona varios fil?sofos que han realizado un estudio de las obras de Carroll, dado que es a trav?s de los juegos del lenguaje y la noci?n de la l?gica del sinsentido donde se pueden evidenciar algunas nociones matem?ticas de la ?poca del reverendo Dodgson, para aportar reflexiones educativas desde la literatura hacia la ense?anza de las matem?ticas en el bachillerato.

Estimated Disability-adjusted Life Years Averted By Long-term Provision Of Long Acting Contraceptive Methods In A Brazilian Clinic.

What is the contribution of the provision, at no cost for users, of long acting reversible contraceptive methods (LARC; copper intrauterine device [IUD], the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system [LNG-IUS], contraceptive implants and depot-medroxyprogesterone [DMPA] injection) towards the disability-adjusted life years (DALY) averted through a Brazilian university-based clinic established over 30 years ago. Over the last 10 years of evaluation, provision of LARC methods and DMPA by the clinic are estimated to have contributed to DALY averted by between 37 and 60 maternal deaths, 315-424 child mortalities, 634-853 combined maternal morbidity and mortality and child mortality, and 1056-1412 unsafe abortions averted. LARC methods are associated with a high contraceptive effectiveness when compared with contraceptive methods which need frequent attention; perhaps because LARC methods are independent of individual or couple compliance. However, in general previous studies have evaluated contraceptive methods during clinical studies over a short period of time, or not more than 10 years. Furthermore, information regarding the estimation of the DALY averted is scarce. We reviewed 50 004 medical charts from women who consulted for the first time looking for a contraceptive method over the period from 2 January 1980 through 31 December 2012. Women who consulted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Campinas, Brazil were new users and users switching contraceptive, including the copper IUD (n = 13 826), the LNG-IUS (n = 1525), implants (n = 277) and DMPA (n = 9387). Estimation of the DALY averted included maternal morbidity and mortality, child mortality and unsafe abortions averted. We obtained 29 416 contraceptive segments of use including 25 009 contraceptive segments of use from 20 821 new users or switchers to any LARC method or DMPA with at least 1 year of follow-up. The mean (± SD) age of the women at first consultation ranged from 25.3 ± 5.7 (range 12-47) years in the 1980s, to 31.9 ± 7.4 (range 16-50) years in 2010-2011. The most common contraceptive chosen at the first consultation was copper IUD (48.3, 74.5 and 64.7% in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, respectively). For an evaluation over 20 years, the cumulative pregnancy rates (SEM) were 0.4 (0.2), 2.8 (2.1), 4.0 (0.4) and 1.3 (0.4) for the LNG-IUS, the implants, copper IUD and DMPA, respectively and cumulative continuation rates (SEM) were 15.1 (3.7), 3.9 (1.4), 14.1 (0.6) and 7.3 (1.7) for the LNG-IUS, implants, copper IUD and DMPA, respectively (P < 0.001). Over the last 10 years of evaluation, the estimation of the contribution of the clinic through the provision of LARC methods and DMPA to DALY averted was 37-60 maternal deaths; between 315 and 424 child mortalities; combined maternal morbidity and mortality and child mortality of between 634 and 853, and 1056-1412 unsafe abortions averted. The main limitations are the number of women who never returned to the clinic (overall 14% among the four methods under evaluation); consequently the pregnancy rate could be different. Other limitations include the analysis of two kinds of copper IUD and two kinds of contraceptive implants as the same IUD or implant, and the low number of users of implants. In addition, the DALY calculation relies on a number of estimates, which may vary in different parts of the world. LARC methods and DMPA are highly effective and women who were well-counselled used these methods for a long time. The benefit of averting maternal morbidity and mortality, child mortality, and unsafe abortions is an example to health policy makers to implement more family planning programmes and to offer contraceptive methods, mainly LARC and DMPA, at no cost or at affordable cost for the underprivileged population. This study received partial financial support from the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), grant # 2012/12810-4 and from the National Research Council (CNPq), grant #573747/2008-3. B.F.B., M.P.G., and V.M.C. were fellows from the scientific initiation programme from FAPESP. Since the year 2001, all the TCu380A IUD were donated by Injeflex, São Paulo, Brazil, and from the year 2006 all the LNG-IUS were donated by the International Contraceptive Access Foundation (ICA), Turku, Finland. Both donations are as unrestricted grants. The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest associated with this study.

Long-term Decline Of The Amazon Carbon Sink.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide records indicate that the land surface has acted as a strong global carbon sink over recent decades, with a substantial fraction of this sink probably located in the tropics, particularly in the Amazon. Nevertheless, it is unclear how the terrestrial carbon sink will evolve as climate and atmospheric composition continue to change. Here we analyse the historical evolution of the biomass dynamics of the Amazon rainforest over three decades using a distributed network of 321 plots. While this analysis confirms that Amazon forests have acted as a long-term net biomass sink, we find a long-term decreasing trend of carbon accumulation. Rates of net increase in above-ground biomass declined by one-third during the past decade compared to the 1990s. This is a consequence of growth rate increases levelling off recently, while biomass mortality persistently increased throughout, leading to a shortening of carbon residence times. Potential drivers for the mortality increase include greater climate variability, and feedbacks of faster growth on mortality, resulting in shortened tree longevity. The observed decline of the Amazon sink diverges markedly from the recent increase in terrestrial carbon uptake at the global scale, and is contrary to expectations based on models.

Evaluation of three different adhesive systems using a bacterial method to develop secondary caries in vitro

Purpose: To assess the effects of three different dental adhesive systems on the formation of secondary root caries, in vitro, with a standardized interfacial gap in a filled cavity model. Methods: 40 sound human molars were selected and randomly assigned to four experimental groups: Clearfil SE Bond (CSEB), Xeno III (X-III), Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus (SBMP) and negative control (NC) without an adhesive system. After the standardized Class V cavity preparations on the buccal and lingual surfaces, restorations were placed with resin composite (Filtek Z250) using a standardized interfacial gap, using a 3 x 2 mm piece of 50 mu m metal matrix. The teeth were sterilized with gamma irradiation and exposed to a cariogenic challenge using a bacterial system with Streptococcus mutans. Depth and extension of wall lesions formed and the depth of outer lesions were measured by software coupled with light microscopy. Results: For wall lesion extension the ANOVA test showed differences between groups except between X-HI and SBMP (P= 0.294). The Tukey`s test of confidence intervals indicated smaller values for the CSEB group than for the others. For wall lesion depth the CSEB group also presented the smallest mean values of wall lesion depth when compared to the others (P< 0.0001) for all comparisons using Tukey`s test. Regarding outer lesion depth, all adhesives showed statistically similar behavior. SEM evaluation of the morphologic appearance of caries lesions confirmed the statistical results showing small caries lesion development for cavities restored with CSEB adhesive system, which may suggest that this adhesive system interdiffusion zone promoted a good interaction with subjacent dentin protecting the dental tissues from recurrent caries.
