La ??pica espa??ola y la Literar??sthetik des mittelalters de E. R. Curtius

Cr??tica de Men??ndez Pidal sobre la obra de Curtius Zur Literar??sthetik Des Mittelalters, donde el fil??logo alem??n realiza un estudio de los t??picos usados por los escritores medievales, la frecuencia con que los poemas hist??ricos latinos de la Edad Media derivan de modelos en prosa y el concepto de irrealidad po??tica en el estilo. Concluye el alem??n que la ??pica medieval no es original, de lo que espa??ol discrepa haciendo un an??lisis hist??rico y ling????stico del significado y edad de las mismas epopeyas que Curtius, entre las que se encuentran el Cid y Carmen Campidoctoris.

Fernando Nieto Cadena: la épica de lo cotidiano

Esta investigación se acerca a un corpus de poemarios que se enmarcan dentro de la épica de lo cotidiano, y pretende una aproximación a la poética de su autor, Fernando Nieto Cadena. En cuanto a esta lectura, he seguido categorías de Fredric Jameson y Terry Eagleton, en lo concerniente a ese sesgo ideológico que estos poemas demuestran. Pero me he inclinado por un marco que atienda esta poesía como fenómeno. También deseo despejar la pregunta acerca de las categorías precisas para acometer cierto movimiento en esta poesía, e inquirir sobre su caótico flujo. Quiero desentrañar la manera en que se construye esta lírica, poblada de elementos cercanos a los pobladores de la costa ecuatoriana, con mucho de influencia caribeña: son ellos quienes, al acercarse a esta poesía, podrán leer/se. A esto se añade una lectura que confirme los elementos que caracterizan el decir poético de Nieto Cadena. He hecho un recorrido a través de los títulos de Nieto para descubrir la tensión entre el elemento semántico y el fonético del texto, en pos de revisar los ritmos que este lenguaje ofrece.

Pica-pau: análise exploratória sobre a noção de justiça que permeia as ações do personagem

Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar as influências e os aspectos que a mídia televisiva impregna no desenvolvimento moral da criança. Estando a cultura midiática muito presente no cotidiano do indivíduo, em sua subjetividade, fazendo com que o mesmo construa e adquira novos símbolos e sentidos a respeito de sua realidade, interferindo totalmente em sua identidade, é válido trazer à tona uma discussão sobre o conteúdo existente no desenho animado “Pica-Pau”, pois é um desenho muito assistido pelas crianças e refletem na aquisição e reprodução dos valores morais ali contidos, constantemente. O foco aqui presente será a análise do desenho animado “Pica-Pau”, à luz da teoria de Jean Piaget, sendo apontado, assim, todo um diagnóstico acerca do mesmo e, em seguida, encontrando uma maneira deste conteúdo ser trabalhado pelos professores

A poesia épica na construção dos Discursos de Dion Crisóstomo

Epic poetry in the construction of Dion Chrysostom’s Discourses. The construction of images in the speeches of Dion Chrysostom was drawn from references in Homer. When the orator uses images from Greek epic poetry, Dion Chrysostom intimates the representation of images found in the literature to propagate his philosophical and political ideas during the first century A.D. under the administration of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. Current analysis of the author’s works discusses literature as one of the representational forms of Hellenistic identity under Roman domination.

CONTROLLING YELLOW-BILLED MAGPIES (Pica nuttalli)

The yellow-billed magpie is a little smaller than the American or black-billed magpie, but the difference in size is very slight. The birds look exactly alike, except one has a black beak and the other has a yellow bill and a bit of yellow skin back of the eye.There are concentrated populations in the Los Banos area, Gustine area, and along the course of the Merced River comprising about 19,100 acres. They are occasionally seen in other areas of the County, but only infrequently observed in the southwestern portion of the County. The heaviest populations are in walnut orchards, dairy farms, almond orchards, turkey ranches and areas adjacent to river bottoms.The yellow-billed magpie may represent a dying ancient race. Since scientific interest has been directed toward its habits and distribution, its range has become more restricted. There are reports that 50 or 60 years ago it was common in many places close to the Coast, where the observer would now look for it in vain. It inhabits only the interior of California west of the Sierra Nevada, chiefly in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. It haunts stock ranches, because food to its liking is usually plentiful in such places. When cattle and sheep are butchered the refuse attracts magpies. They gather about any dead animal. They feed on grasshoppers, worms and grubs, and of course always look for a reasonable supply of eggs.

Pica and refractory iron deficiency anaemia: a case report

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia worldwide. Pica, the ingestion of substances that are inappropriate for consumption, is associated with iron deficiency and may be under-diagnosed. CASE PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old woman presented with iron deficiency anaemia refractory to treatment for more than a decade. The clinical presentation, endoscopic findings and laboratory investigations were consistent with pica. Subsequent geophysical analysis confirmed that the ingested material was kaolin, a negatively charged silicate. CONCLUSION: Prolonged unexplained iron deficiency anaemia should prompt clinicians to remember and inquire about pica. In our patient, this would have averted numerous unnecessary investigations and prevented a decade-long suffering.

An investigation of the pica practices of pregnant women in Houston and Prairie View, Texas

Pregnant African American women are at higher risk of having a preterm delivery and/or a low birthweight infant. Many factors are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes but a food habit that deserves further study in the causal process is pica, a craving for, and ingestion of, nonnutritive substances such as laundry starch, clay, dirt, or ice. This food habit is more common in the African American population but has not been adequately studied in relation to preterm and/or low birth weight infants.^ Mothers (n = 281) with infants less than one year of age who participated in the Special Supplementary Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) at clinics in Houston and Prairie View, Texas were interviewed regarding pica practices during pregnancy, dietary practices, and some demographic indices. Hospital records were abstracted for health information on the mothers and infants, including birthweight and gestational age at birth of the infant.^ The subjects were 88.6% African American, 6.8% Hispanic, and 4.6% Caucasian. Overall prevalence of pica was 76.5%. Pica prevalence by substance(s) was as follows: ice 53.7%; ice and freezer frost 14.6%; other substances such as baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, laundry starch, and clay or dirt 8.2%; and 23.5% reported no pica. The women who reported ice/freezer frost pica had a higher percentage of illegal drug use and alcohol use during pregnancy. The women who reported other pica substances had the lowest mean educational level, highest gravidity, and a higher percentage smoked during pregnancy.^ There were no significant differences in nutrient intakes measured by the mean 24-hour dietary recalls between women who reported ice pica (n = 103) and women who denied pica (n = 50). The women who reported ice/freezer frost pica or other pica substances had more food cravings and food dislikes during pregnancy than those who reported ice pica or no pica.^ There were no differences in mean birthweight or mean gestational age at birth of infants born to mothers from the three pica groups and the no pica group but regression analyses revealed a possible relationship between pica, low maternal hemoglobin at delivery, and preterm birth. ^
