Temporal evolution of organic carbon and lipid content and derived SST of sediment core GIK23258-2, Norwegian Sea

Lipids are used for the evaluation of the different organic matter contributions in the north eastern Norwegian sea (M23258 site; 75ºN, 14ºE) over the last 15,000 years. Development of a mass balance model based on the down core quantification of the C37 alkenones, the odd carbon numbered n-alkanes (Aodd) and the unresolved complex mixture of hydrocarbons (UCM) has allowed three main organic matter inputs involving marine, continental and ancient reworked organic matter to be recognized. The model shows a good agreement between measured and reconstructed TOC values. Similarly, a strong parallelism is observed between predicted components such as marine TOC and carbonate content (CaCO3), which was determined independently. Representation of the model results within a time-scale based on 15 AMS-14C measurements shows that the main changes in organic matter constituents are coincident with the major climatic events of the last 15,000 a. Thus, the predominance of reworked organic matter is characteristic of Termination Ia (up to 70%), continental organic matter was dominant during the Bølling-Allerød (B-A) and Younger Dryas (YD) periods (about 85%) and a strong increase of marine organic matter occurred in the Holocene (between 50 and 75%). This agreement reflects the main hydrographic changes that determined the deposition of sedimentary materials during the period studied: ice-rafted detritus from the Barents continental platform, ice-melting waters from the Arctic fluvial system discharging into the Barents sea and dominance of north Atlantic currents, respectively. In this respect, the high-resolution down core record resulting from the mass balance and lipid measurements allows the identification of millennial-scale events such as the increase of reworked organic matter at the final retreat of the Barents ice sheet at the end of the deglaciation period (Termination Ib).

El drama de ser mujer en Todas las historias son de amor de Adolfo Torres

La ideología expresa y se reproduce en la sociedad a través del discurso; en esa dirección, el espíritu que guía este análisis es el concepto de ideología asociado al discurso y será utilizado en el sentido de noción general de creencias, ya que pretendemos encontrar en el discurso del drama Todas las historias son de amor, de Adolfo Torres, las marcas de ideología relacionadas con el género. Nuestro objetivo particular es examinar cuál es la idea que sobre la mujer se tiene y cómo aparece en la obra; por lo que aplicaremos la teoría de perspectiva de género para encontrar esos discursos del sistema patriarcal que la definen o la representan.

El drama griego y romano y La Eneida

A partir del énfasis en aproximaciones culturales que exceden la visión de la literatura como el mero reflejo de la política y las instituciones, este articulo estudia la influencia del drama griego y romano en la Eneida. Haciendo uso de los conceptos de "problematización" y "dramatización", se analizan separadamente la apropiación virgiliana de la tragedia griega, la relación de los trágicos y de Virgilio con Homero, el final de la Eneida y el nexo entre Virgilio y el drama romano, derivándose de este último punto la injerencia de la recepción virgiliana de la tragedia en los trágicos romanos posteriores

El drama de la traducción

Victoria Ocampo ha sido reconocida como una de las más grandes traductoras de nuestra historia intelectual. No tanto por su pericia técnica o su riqueza expresiva como por los resultados innegables de su empeño, por los efectos aún hoy palpables de sus emprendimientos en el área de las publicaciones y la industria editorial. Victoria Ocampo, entonces, es traductora pero también instigadora de traducciones. En este trabajo me propongo estudiar su conflictiva relación con la tarea que le dio sus mayores palmas. La directora de Sur no se sentía cómoda en las aguas de la traducción, tarea que por otro lado la definía como intelectual relevante. Esta incomodidad, lo que ella ha llamado su drama, reclama ser pensada y revisada. Para ello, nos detendremos en los numerosos textos que Ocampo dedicó a la traducción, y en aquellas páginas que destina a elaborar su relación con el francés. Las incisivas preguntas de Derrida en su "El monolingüismo del otro", abrirán este recorrido crítico textual a una consideración de la cultura argentina moderna.

Neogene Radiolarians in Neogene sediments of the Norwegian Sea

Radiolaria are present in frequencies ranging from rare to abundant and with generally moderate to good preservation quality in Leg 104 sediments younger than 22 Ma. Preservation degrades in progressively younger sediments, and upper Pliocene to mid-Pleistocene radiolaria were found only at Site 644, where sporadic assemblages of moderate to poorly preserved specimens persist to approximately 0.75 Ma. Radiolaria are essentially absent in Leg 104 recovery older than basal Miocene. The stratigraphic ranges of 55 taxa of radiolaria are documented in 451 samples from the biosiliceous recoveries of Holes 642B, 642C, 642D, 643A, and 644A. The stratigraphic ranges of 25 of these species are used as boundary criteria for a new system of 28 Neogene zones and subzones that are used to characterize approximately 72% of the past 22 m.y. of sedimentation on the Vriring Plateau. This new scheme is intended to supercede the NRS zones provisionally proposed in the Leg 104 Initial Reports. The applicability of this regional biozonation beyond the Wring and Iceland Plateaus is not presently known. The radiolaria biostratigraphy serves as a basis for inferring a sequence of hiatuses and faunal overturns that may be associated with sea-level low stands and consequent cold-water isolation of the Norwegian Sea. Twenty-one new taxa are described as follows: Actinomma henningsmoeni, Actinomma livae, Actinomma mirabile, Actinomma plasticum, Ceratocyrtis broeggeri, Ceratocyrtis manumi, Ceratocyrtis stoermeri, Clathrospyris vogti, Corythospyris hispida, Corythospyris jubata sverdrupi, Corythospyris reuschi, Crytocapsella ampullacea, Cyrocapsella kladaros, Gondwanaria japonica kiaeri, Hexalonche esmarki, Larcospira bulbosa, Phormospyris thespios, Pseudodicytophimus amundseni, Spongotrochus vitabilis, Spongurus cauleti, and Tessarastrum thiedei.

Spatially explicit estimates of length and biomass of Clupea harengus (Norwegian spring spawning herring) from acoustic and trawl surveys in the North-East Atlantic in May 2004

Acoustic estimates of herring and blue whiting abundance were obtained during the surveys using the Simrad ER60 scientific echosounder. The allocation of NASC-values to herring, blue whiting and other acoustic targets were based on the composition of the trawl catches and the appearance of echo recordings. To estimate the abundance, the allocated NASC -values were averaged for ICES-squares (0.5° latitude by 1° longitude). For each statistical square, the unit area density of fish (rA) in number per square nautical mile (N*nm-2) was calculated using standard equations (Foote et al., 1987; Toresen et al., 1998). To estimate the total abundance of fish, the unit area abundance for each statistical square was multiplied by the number of square nautical miles in each statistical square and then summed for all the statistical squares within defined subareas and over the total area. Biomass estimation was calculated by multiplying abundance in numbers by the average weight of the fish in each statistical square then summing all squares within defined subareas and over the total area. The Norwegian BEAM soft-ware (Totland and Godø 2001) was used to make estimates of total biomass.
