En busca del tiempo homérico con la mirada y la palabra de Antonio Prieto (lectura de "El ciego de Quíos")

En El ciego de Quíos, el novelista Antonio Prieto inventa la vida de Homero alimentándola con figuras y hechos procedentes de la Ilíada y, sobre todo, de la Odisea. El relato se enriquece con el conocimiento histórico en torno a los dos grandes poemas, y lo enmarca un amplio despliegue mitológico. Más allá, la novela alcanza un significado trascendente. Descubrimos como motor narrativo el esfuerzo homérico por vencer la fugacidad humana mediante la escritura, lo que crea un vínculo atemporal con el propio anhelo de nuestro autor; así, la novela nos ofrece un ejemplo máximo del fenómeno bautizado como fusión mítica por Antonio Prieto.

Estudio y edición del poema "Granada" de A. Collado del Hierro

Como se desprende del título, esta tesis doctoral está compuesta por un estudio preliminar y una edición ampliamente anotada del poema “Granada”, de Agustín Collado del Hierro (finales del XVI-1634/1640), texto que, por su especial singularidad, se eleva, mediante sus doce cantos o libros, a la categoría de pieza única en la poesía de nuestro Barroco, aun contando con las flaquezas de algunos de sus pasajes. El estudio preliminar está dividido en dos apartados: uno que aborda la biografía y la trayectoria literaria del autor y otro que se adentra en los pormenores del poema. Tras hacer un repaso por la vida de Collado, se catalogan sus composiciones, a las que hemos añadido una elegía inédita y la atribución de soneto de Cervantes, ampliando así lo ya establecido por E. Orozco (1964). Esta sección finaliza con un recorrido, desde su época hasta nuestros días, por la recepción crítica que ha tenido nuestro poeta, con especial atención a la obra “Granada”. Comienza el segundo apartado con un estudio del manuscrito y los problemas textuales que plantea, mediante el análisis del original (Ms. 3.735, Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid). A continuación se establece el periodo de creación del poema, que, basándonos en datos internos, lo fijamos desde 1623-1624 hasta 1633-1636. Tras estudiar el vasto caudal erudito de fuentes primarias y secundarias así como la influencia estilística de la “nueva poesía”, que se hacía en la época bajo la influencia de Góngora, exponemos, mediante un detallado esquema estructural, los contenidos de los doce libros o cantos. Establecemos que el poema “Granada” es ante todo un discurso histórico-apologético en el que el procedimiento de la écfrasis sólo tiene un papel muy determinado y preciso en algunos libros. Dedicamos una especial atención al empleo de la mitología clásica y a la forma en que, en el último libro (XII), Collado aborda y encaja la fábula de Baco y Ariadna dentro del plan general de la composición. Alrededor del concepto de “ciudad” vamos rastreando en diversos capítulos (“la ciudad antigua”, “la ciudad sacra”, “la ciudad contrarreformista”…) la manera en la que nuestro autor, influido por los libros de antigüedades (especialmente el de Bermúdez de Pedraza), va creando un linaje mítico a Granada, al tiempo que cristianiza su pasado musulmán, reflejado tanto en la historia como en la huella arquitectónica. Al abordar los elementos sagrados de la ciudad, destacamos el motivo fundamental de la creación del poema, así como las premisas ideológicas y políticas en las que se sustenta: el universo teológico de los Libros Plúmbeos y las reliquias martiriales halladas en el Sacromonte (1595). En este sentido, perfilamos cómo el autor se desliza por la controversia suscitada por las invenciones y cómo va mostrando a través de los versos los más preciados contenidos laminares (el patronazgo de Santiago y la Inmaculada Concepción de María). Asentadas las bases religiosas, Collado muestra la ciudad de Granada como ejemplo de urbe contrarreformista, a través de sus instituciones civiles y de sus más relevantes personajes masculinos y femeninos, con los que establece una suntuosa galería poética. En cuanto a la edición, además de fijar y modernizar el texto basándonos en el citado manuscrito, ayudamos a la compresión del mismo a través de un aparato de notas que se divide en dos tipos: unas de carácter filológico e instrumental que van a pie de página; y otras de carácter complementario que amplían los aspectos arquitectónicos, urbanísticos, culturales, históricos o literarios, y que se sitúan a final de cada canto. El trabajo se cierra con los capítulos correspondientes a la “Variantes del manuscrito”, un “Índice de voces y conceptos anotados” y la obligada “Bibliografía general”.

The Inadequacy Of The Y-axis Of Growth (sngn) For The Vertical Pattern Assessment In Patients With Sagittal Discrepancies.

The aim of this cephalometric study was to evaluate the influence of the sagittal skeletal pattern on the 'Y-axis of growth' measurement in patients with different malocclusions. Lateral head films from 59 patients (mean age 16y 7m, ranging from 11 to 25 years) were selected after a subjective analysis of 1630 cases. Sample was grouped as follows: Group 1 - class I facial pattern; group 2 - class II facial pattern; and Group 3 - class III facial pattern. Two angular measurements, SNGoGn and SNGn, were taken in order to determine skeletal vertical facial pattern. A logistic regression with errors distributed according to a binomial distribution was used to test the influence of the sagittal relationship (Class I, II, III facial patterns) on vertical diagnostic measurement congruence (SNGoGn and SNGn). RESULTS show that the probability of congruence between the patterns SNGn and SNGoGn was relatively high (70%) for group 1, but for groups II (46%) and III (37%) this congruence was relatively low. The use of SNGn appears to be inappropriate to determine the vertical facial skeletal pattern of patients, due to Gn point shifting throughout sagittal discrepancies. Clinical Significance: Facial pattern determined by SNGn must be considered carefully, especially when severe sagittal discrepancies are present.

Effect Of Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass On Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Evaluated Through Nafld Fibrosis Score: A Prospective Study.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common among subjects who undergo bariatric surgery and its postsurgical improvement has been reported. This study aimed to determine the evolution of liver disease evaluated through NAFLD fibrosis score 12 months after surgery. It is a prospective cohort study which evaluated patients immediately before and 12 months following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Mean score decreased from 1.142 to 0.066; surgery led to a resolution rate of advanced fibrosis of 55 %. Resolution was statistically associated with female gender, percentage of excess weight loss, postsurgical body mass index, postsurgical platelet count, and diabetes resolution. As previously reported by studies in which postsurgical biopsies were performed, RYGB leads to a great resolution rate of liver fibrosis. Since postsurgical biopsy is not widely available and has a significant risk, calculation of NAFLD fibrosis score is a simple tool to evaluate this evolution through a noninvasive approach.

Predictors For Weight Loss Failure Following Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass.

Weight loss failure is a widely recognized occurrence following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This study aims to identify predictors associated with weight loss failure. It is a retrospective cohort which enrolled 187 subjects who underwent RYGB. Comparisons were made between patients' features at baseline and 24 months after surgery. A weight loss failure rate of 11.2% was found. Advanced age and diabetes were statistically associated with failure. The results found were close to previous reports. As weight loss failure represents an important concern, there is the possibility to perform revisional surgeries, which may emphasize the restrictive or malabsorptive characteristics of RYGB, leading to varied results. It is reinforced that weight loss cannot be used as the unique outcome to evaluate the success of surgery.

Resonancias discursivas y cortesía en prácticas de lecto-escritura

In this paper we present a study of reading comprehension based on a contrastive argumentative-discursive approach. We examine the relationship between linguistic materiality and discursive processes, observing the connection between reading in a foreign language, writing production and textual memories in the mother tongue. In addition to an interest in practical language teaching and learning processes (in this case of Spanish and Portuguese), we investigate the question of politeness and the theoretical relationship between subjectivity, language, and textuality. The latter, being understood as the result of discourse regularities, is unique for each and every production, yet is also conditioned by plural discursive memories resulting from contradictory social relationships in a specific historical context (Foucault, 1986; Pêcheux, 1990). In the experiment presented here, we follow some of the procedures of the methodology applied in the European Galatea Project developed for the study of reading strategies in the inter-comprehension between Romance languages (Dabène, 1996). We use the procedure of simulation and the subjective projection of participants as well as the notion of discursive resonance in the analysis. The results, having to do with directness and indirectness in speech and the question of politeness in two typologically close languages, lead to the conclusion that the concept of politeness goes beyond a pragmatic strategy used to avoid conflicts to be approached as a marker of cultural identity constitution. The relevance of discursive awareness and its theoretical and practical consequences are then emphasized.

Haciendo hologramas en la escuela y en la casa

En el trabajo se describen la instalación experimental portátil diseñada para la obtención de hologramas en la escuela y en la casa con la utilización de diodos láser, la metodología de trabajo a seguir, los métodos de procesamiento utilizados para diferentes tipos de emulsiones holográficas y un análisis de los defectos que pueden presentar los hologramas producidos y la forma de detectarlos y erradicarlos

Study of metal oxide-semiconductor capacitors with rf magnetron sputtering TiO(x) and TiO(x)N(y) gate dielectric layer

Metal oxide-semiconductor capacitors with TiO(x) deposited with different O(2) partial pressures (30%, 35%, and 40%) and annealed at 550, 750, and 1000 degrees C were fabricated and characterized. Fourier transform infrared, x-ray near edge spectroscopy, and elipsometry measurements were performed to characterize the TiO(x) films. TiO(x)N(y) films were also obtained by adding nitrogen to the gaseous mixture and physical results were presented. Capacitance-voltage (1 MHz) and current-voltage measurements were utilized to obtain the effective dielectric constant, effective oxide thickness, leakage current density, and interface quality. The results show that the obtained TiO(x) films present a dielectric constant varying from 40 to 170 and a leakage current density (for V(G)=-1 V, for some structures as low as 1 nA/cm(2), acceptable for complementary metal oxide semiconductor circuits fabrication), indicating that this material is a viable, in terms of leakage current density, highk substitute for current ultrathin dielectric layers.

Prospective and Randomized Comparison of Two Techniques of Staple Line Reinforcement During Open Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Oversewing and Bioabsorbable Seamguard (R)

Aims: Surgical staple line dehiscence usually leads to severe complications. Several techniques and materials have been used to reinforce this stapling and thus reduce the related complications. The objective was to compare safety of two types of anastomotic reinforcement in open gastric bypass. Methods: A prospective, randomized study comparing an extraluminal suture, fibrin glue, and a nonpermanent buttressing material, Seamguard (R), for staple line reinforcement. Fibrin glue was excluded from the study and analysis after two leaks, requiring surgical reintervention, antibiotic therapy, and prolonged patient hospitalization. Results: Twenty patients were assigned to the suture and Seamguard reinforcement groups. The groups were similar in terms of preoperative characteristics. No staple line dehiscence occurred in the two groups, whereas two cases of dehiscence occurred in the fibrin glue group. No mortality occurred and surgical time was statistically similar for both techniques. Seamguard made the surgery more expensive. Conclusion: In our service, staple line reinforcement in open bariatric surgery with oversewing or Seamguard was considered to be safe. Seamguard application was considered to be easier than oversewing, but more expensive.

Direct mass measurements of (68)Se and (80)Y

The masses of neutron-deficient nuclides near the N=Z line with A=64-80 have been determined using a direct time-of-flight technique which employed a cyclotron as a high-resolution spectrometer. The measured atomic masses for (68)Se and (80)Y were 67.9421(3) u and 79.9344(2) u, respectively. The new values agree with the 2003 Atomic Mass Evaluation. The result for (68)Se confirms that this nucleus is a waiting point of the rp-process, and that for (80)Y resolves the conflict between earlier measurements. Using the present results and the 2003 Atomic Mass Evaluation compilation, the empirical interaction between the last proton and the last neutron in N=Z nuclei has been revisited and extended.

A study of disorder effects in random (Al(x)Ga(1-x)As)(n)(Al(y)Ga(1-y)As)(m) superlattices embedded in a wide parabolic potential

A photoluminescence (PL) study of the individual electron states localized in a random potential is performed in artificially disordered superlattices embedded in a wide parabolic well. The valence band bowing of the parabolic potential provides a variation of the emission energies which splits the optical transitions corresponding to different wells within the random potential. The blueshift of the PL lines emitted by individual random wells, observed with increasing disorder strength, is demonstrated. The variation of temperature and magnetic field allowed for the behavior of the electrons localized in individual wells of the random potential to be distinguished.
