Rosalía de Castro, sombra que se fai teoría

A figura auroral de Rosalía de Castro autorizou a aparición de novas poetas a finais do século XX mais, paradoxalmente, a partir da publicación dos seus libros fundacionais non xurdiu unha lexión de autoras que desde Cantares gallegos (1863) e Follas novas (1880) escribisen incesantemente a nación, ou simplemente, escribisen incesantemente en galego e tivesen por iso un recoñecemento canónico. Sen dúbida a intervención do patriarcadogaleguista provocou esa interrupción, que se entende mellor cando se teñenen conta os condicionantes socioliterarios que coutaban as mulleres escritoras (González Fernández, 2005: 15-19). Porque a finais do século XIX, e malia excepcións rechamantes, o pensamento hexemónicoconsideraba que as literatas eran unhas sabias ridículas, tal como sesancionara desde o coñecido capítulo V do Émile, ou l’Education (1762) deJean Jacques Rousseau en diante, aínda que houbese, por suposto, vocesdisidentes entre os seus contemporáneos, como Benito Jerónimo Feijoo noseu moi lido discurso XVI, Defensa de las mujeres, do seu Teatro crítico universal(1726). Nese sentido depreciativo do termo debe lerse o coñecido artigo deRosalía de Castro, Las literatas. Carta a Eduarda (1865). Por outra banda, noemerxente discurso nacionalista que vai do XIX ao primeiro terzo do XXopérase unha corrección misóxina que afecta á concepción sexuada danación. Se Murguía seguira a Renan na súa defensa do carácter esencialmente feminino dos pobos celtas, unha idea moi espallada naquela...

Declaraciones estatutarias ¿de derechos? Un análisis a la luz de las SSTC 247/2007 y 31/2010

La resolución de los recursos de inconstitucionalidad contra los Estatutos de la Comunidad Valenciana y de Cataluña parece haber zanjado el debate sobre licitud de las declaraciones estatutarias de Derechos a la luz de la Constitución. Las sentencias 247/2007 y 31/2010 y la más reciente de 16 de diciembre admiten que los Estatutos de Autonomía puedan contener derechos. La detenida lectura de los fundamentos jurídicos de las citadas sentencias plantea, sin embargo, otro tema de gran importancia desde la perspectiva constitucional: ¿tienen algún valor estas cartas estatutarias de derechos? A este interrogante se da respuesta abordando dos cuestiones distintas aunque complementarias. La primera de ellas hace referencia al contenido de esta parte de la norma estatutaria. Para el Tribunal estos derechos estatutarios no son derechos fundamentales, los cuales sólo pueden ser proclamados en la Constitución. Y son derechos que, además, deben estar conectados al ámbito competencial de la Comunidad Autónoma y solo pueden vincular a los poderes públicos autonómicos. La segunda se centra en la verdadera naturaleza de estos derechos estatutarios. El Tribunal, a pesar de reconocer la existencia de derechos subjetivos en los Estatutos, niega tal condición a los derechos estatutarios que aparezcan vinculados solo a las competencias configurándolos como meros mandatos de la actuación de los poderes públicos autonómicos. La existencia del derecho, en este supuesto, dependerá de la actuación del legislador autonómico. La conclusión es que, contrariamente a lo querido por el legislador estatutario, el Tribunal les reconoce la eficacia de un principio rector al convertir la mayoría de los derechos que las integran en meros mandatos a los poderes públicos. El análisis de las citadas sentencias ha constatado que la licitud constitucional de este nuevo contenido estatutario viene acompañada de una contrapartida: su desactivación normativa.

Transverse Joint Sealing with Improved Sealers, HR-276, 1991

Concern about premature joint sealant failures occurring in portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements gave impetus to initiating this research project. Eight sealants, including three silicone sealants, were evaluated and tested in the lab as well as incorporated in approximately 700 joints in the field and evaluated over a six-year period. The preliminary data show that among the silicone sealants, Dow Corning 888 rated the highest. However, this was rated third overall behind the W. R. Meadows cold-applied Sof Seal and Crafco #231 hot pour sealants. The W. R. Meadows and Crafco sealants cost approximately 30 percent and 50 percent less to furnish and place than the Dow Corning product. All joint sealants will continue to be evaluated.

Relating Creep Testing to Rutting of Asphalt Concrete Mixes, HR-311, Part 2, 1991

The Iowa Department of Transportation began creep and resilient modulus testing of asphalt concrete mixtures in 1989. Part 1 of this research reported in January 1990 was a laboratory study of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures made with O, 30, 60, 85 and 100% crushed gravel, crushed limestone and crushed quartzite combined with uncrushed sand and gravel. Creep test results from Marshall specimens related well to the percent of crushed particles and the perceived resistance to rutting. The objective of this research, part 2, was to determine if there was a meaningful correlation between pavement rut depth and the resilient modulus or the creep resistance factor. Four and six inch diameter cores were drilled from rutted primary and interstate pavements and interstate pavements with design changes intended to resist rutting. The top 2 1/2 inches of each core, most of which was surface course, was used for creep and resilient modulus testing. There is a good correlation between the resilient modulus of four and six inch diameter cores. Creep resistance factors of four and six inch diameter cores also correlated well. There is a poor correlation between resilient modulus and the creep resistance factor. The rut depth per million 18,000 pound equivalent single axle loadings (ESAL) for these pavements did not correlate well with either the resilient modulus or the creep resistance factor.

Correlation of the Road Rater and the Dynatest Falling Weight Deflectometer, MLR-91-04, 1991

The Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) has become the "standard" for deflection testing of pavements. Iowa has used a Road Rater since 1976 to obtain deflection information. A correlation between the Road Rater and the FWD was needed if Iowa was going to continue with the Road Rater. Comparative deflection testing was done using a Road Rater Model 400 and a Pynatest 8000 FWD on 26 pavement sections. The SHRP contractor, Braun Intertec Pavement, Inc., provided the FWD testing. The r^2 for the linear correlations ranged from 0.90 to 0.99 for the different pavement types and sensor locations.
