‘La familia ya no es lo que era’: intercultural lesbian relationships in contemporary Spanish cinema

Este artículo considera el papel variable de las mujeres con respecto a la institución del matrimonio y al entorno familiar a través de la representación cinematográfica de relaciones interculturales y de lesbianas. Sostiene que ese tipo de relación constituye un ejemplo de la visibilidad emergente de formas familiares alternativas al modelo heteronormativo. Tomando en cuenta las dimensiones lingüísticas, temporales, y espaciales de estas relaciones, analiza tres películas: Costa Brava: Family Album, A mi madre le gustan las mujeres y Room in Rome. En resumen, el artículo cuestiona la posición del deseo intercultural lésbico dentro de las representaciones cinematográficas de la familia contemporánea en España.

Pore water measurements of sediment cores from the Helgoland mud area, North Sea

Iron reduction in subseafloor sulfate-depleted and methane-rich marine sediments is currently a subject of interest in subsurface geomicrobiology. While iron reduction and microorganisms involved have been well studied in marine surface sediments, little is known about microorganisms responsible for iron reduction in deep methanic sediments. Here, we used quantitative PCR (Q-PCR)-based 16S rRNA gene copy numbers and pyrosequencing-based relative abundances of bacteria and archaea to investigate covariance between distinct microbial populations and specific geochemical profiles in the top 5 m of sediment cores from the Helgoland mud area, North Sea. We found that gene copy numbers of bacteria and archaea were specifically higher around the peak of dissolved iron in the methanic zone (250-350 cm. The higher copy numbers at these depths were also reflected by the relative sequence abundances of members of the candidate division JS1, methanogenic and Methanohalobium/ANME-3 related archaea. The distribution of these populations was strongly correlated to the profile of pore-water Fe2+ while that of Desulfobacteraceae corresponded to the pore-water sulfate profile. Furthermore, specific JS1 populations also strongly co-varied with the distribution of Methanosaetaceae in the methanic zone. Our data suggest that the interplay among JS1 bacteria, methanogenic archaea and Methanohalobium/ANME-3-related archaea may be important for iron reduction and methane cycling in deep methanic sediments of the Helgoland mud area and perhaps in other methane-rich depositional environments. .

Travel, back and forth, to the myth. Cinema´s contribution to the formation of the tourist iconography of Mallorca

Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is a well-known summer holidays destination; an ideal place to relax and enjoy the sun and the sea. That tourist gaze reflected on postcards results from advertising campaigns, where cinema played an important role with documentaries and fiction films. The origins of that iconography started in the decades of the 1920’s and 1930’s, reflecting the so-called myth of the “island of calm”. On the other hand, the films of the 1950’s and 1960’s created new stereotypes related to the mass tourism boom. Busy beaches and the white bodies of tourists replaced white sandy beaches, mountains and landscapes shown up in the movies of the early decades of the 20th century. Besides, hotels and nightclubs also replaced monuments, rural landscapes and folk exhibitions. These tourist images mirror the social and spatial transformations of Mallorca, under standardization processes like other seaside mass tourist destinations. The identity was rebuilt on the foundations of "modernity". Although "balearization" has not ceased, nowadays filmmaking about Mallorca is advertising again a stereotype close to that one of the 1920s and 1930s, glorifying the myth of the "island of calm". This singular identity makes the island more profitable for capital that searches socio-spatial differentiation in post-fordist times.

Assessment of catches, landings and fishing effort as useful tools for MPA management

Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been widely recognized as a tool to achieve both fisheries management and conservation goals. Simultaneously achieving these multiple goals is difficult due to conflicts between conservation (often long-term) and economic (often short-term) objectives. MPA implementation often includes additional control measures on fisheries (e.g. vessel size restrictions, gear exclusion, catch controls) that in the short-term may have impacts on local fishers' communities. Thus, monitoring fisheries catches before, during and after MPA implementation is essential to document changes in fisheries activities and to evaluate the impact of MPAs in fishers' communities. Remarkably, in contrast with standard fisheries-independent biological surveys, these data are rarely measured at appropriate spatial scales following MPA implementation. Here, the effects of MPA implementation on local fisheries are assessed in a temperate MPA (Arrabida Marine Park, Portugal), using fisheries monitoring methods combining spatial distribution of fishing effort, on-board observations and official landings statistics at scales appropriate to the Marine Park. Fisheries spatial distribution, fishing effort, on-board data collection and official landings registered for the same vessels over time were analysed between 2004 and 2010. The applicability and reliability of using landings statistics alone was tested (i.e. when no sampling data are available) and we conclude that landings data alone only allow the identification of general patterns. The combination of landings information (which is known to be unreliable in many coastal communities) with other methods, provides an effective tool to evaluate fisheries dynamics in response to MPA implementation. As resources for monitoring socio-ecological responses to MPAs are frequently scarce, the use of landings data calibrated with fisheries information (from vessels, gear distribution and on-board data) is a valuable tool applicable to many worldwide coastal small-scale fisheries.

Il livello del mare visto dai mareografi

I mareografi sono strumenti che misurano il livello del mare in un punto della costa. Tuttavia, essendovi ancorati, essi sono soggetti al suo movimento. Inoltre, il livello del mare è fortemente influenzato da effetti locali. In una prima parte, si è quindi selezionato un insieme di questi in base alla completezza dei dati e a restrizioni geografiche, in modo che nel loro complesso fossero il più possibile rappresentativi della situazione media globale. Di ognuno di essi si sono studiati la monotonicità e l’andamento in due ventenni consecutivi, il primo dal 1980. In questo modo è stato possibile evidenziare, ove presenti, modifiche nel tasso di variazione annuale del livello del mare in ogni località nei due periodi. Studiati i singoli mareografi si è poi proceduto ad effettuarne uno stacking per ottenere una stima meno influenzata da effetti locali. Il test di monotonia identifica in entrambi i casi un chiaro trend crescente. Il risultato della regressione lineare sui due periodi ha fornito tassi pari rispettivamente a (2.1 ± 0.5)mm/yr e (4.7 ± 0.5)mm/yr. Per migliorare la significatività del test di monotonia, si sono poi rimossi i modi semi-periodici mediante il metodo di decomposizione EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition). Ripetendo la regressione lineare si ottengono risultati simili ma con minore incertezza: (2.3 ± 0.2)mm/yr e (4.9 ± 0.2)mm/yr. Come approccio alternativo, per cercare di superare l’arbitrarietà della scelta dei due archi temporali, si è effettuato un fit quadratico sulle serie dati dal 1980 al 2020. In questi modo, è stato possibile identificare e raggruppare situazioni contraddistinte da andamenti generali simili. In seguito, si è mostrato come, in entrambi i periodi, ci sia una forte correlazione lineare fra i mareografi sulla costa occidentale degli Stati Uniti e fra i mareografi posti nel Mediterraneo. Infine, viene studiato il caso dei mareografi della Laguna Veneta e la loro correlazione con altri posizionati nell'Adriatico settentrionale.
