Independencia y fórmulas rutinarias: Reestructuración de la Esfera III

Este trabajo aborda el análisis de las unidades fraseológicas, en concreto, las fórmulas rutinarias conversacionales, según su grado de independencia, con el fin de reestructurar la Esfera III (Corpas, 1996), en la que se encuentran los enunciados fraseológicos, paremias y fórmulas rutinarias. Para ello, atenderemos al sistema de unidades que propone Briz y el Grupo Val.Es.Co. (Briz & Grupo Val.Es.Co., 2003, 2014) para la segmentación de la conversación. Con este sistema comprobaremos que los enunciados fraseológicos mostrarán diferentes grados y tipos de independencia que permitirán reestructurar la Esfera III. La metodología empleada se corresponde con el enfoque fraseológico y pragmático, y los ejemplos se han extraído del Corpus de conversaciones coloquiales (Briz & Grupo Val.Es.Co., 2002).

Semivolatile and Volatile Compound Evolution during Pyrolysis and Combustion of Colombian Coffee Husk

Thermal characterization of coffee husk (Coffea arabica) from Colombian coffee has been studied. Different products, mostly volatile and semivolatile compounds, were analyzed, paying special attention to 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) as priority pollutants, frequently used for checking toxicity in environmental samples. A fixed amount of raw material was exposed to different excess air ratios (λ = 0–2.33) and nominal temperature of 1123 K in a horizontal quartz reactor. The results show that coffee husk is a promising biomass for energetic exploitation with reduced formation of PAHs in a low air excess ratio. This implies reduction of carcinogenic potential in the limited presence of oxygen, demonstrated by calculating the carcinogenic potential (KE) for each experimental condition. Most volatile and semivolatile compounds followed different trends, with the oxygen presence prevailing their decomposition with increasing the air excess ratio.

La lingüística a través del humor: aplicaciones didácticas

Las investigaciones que hemos llevado a cabo en el marco del grupo GRIALE (Proyecto I+D “Innovaciones lingüísticas del humor: géneros textuales, identidad y enseñanza del español” (FFI2012-30941), así como en una Red docente anterior (2774 “Humor y perspectiva de género: análisis y aplicaciones didácticas”, 2012-2013) nos han conducido a plantear esta nueva tarea docente (Red 3161: “La lingüística a través del humor: aplicaciones didácticas”) que se centra en la elaboración de propuestas metodológicas sobre el uso del humor como herramienta de optimización en la presentación de contenidos teóricos de las asignaturas de lingüística y de lenguas en los diversos grados de Filología y de Traducción. En efecto, el formato de discurso humorístico proporciona un marco ideal para crear instrumentos didácticos que conviertan en atractivos los contenidos de materias lingüísticas que a menudo resultan difíciles por su alto nivel de abstracción. Creemos que nuestro enfoque puede contribuir al aumento de la motivación del alumnado y facilitar el proceso de asimilación de la información. Asimismo, otro aspecto clave, como es la formación de la competencia metalingüística, recibe nuestra atención dado que el desentrañamiento de los patrones lingüísticos del humor constituye una tarea altamente reflexiva y resulta útil de cara al ejercicio profesional de los futuros filólogos y traductores.

Shifting Between Hegemony and Dominance? A Neo-Gramscian Analysis of the EU as a Structural Foreign Policy Actor: The Singular Case of the Cariforum-EU Economic Partnership Agreement. Bruges Regional Integration & Global Governance Paper 01/2014

The groundbreaking scope of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Union (EU) and Cariforum (CF) irrefutably marks a substantive shift in trade relations between the regions and also has far-reaching implications across several sectors and levels. Supplementing the framework of analysis of Structural Foreign Policy (SFP) with neo-Gramscian theory allows for a thorough investigation into the details of structural embeddedness based on the EU's historic directionality towards the Caribbean region; notably, encouraging integration into the global capitalist economy by adapting to and adopting the ideals of neoliberal economics. Whilst the Caribbean – as the first and only signatory of a ‘full’ EPA – may be considered the case par excellence of the success of the EPAs, this paper demonstrates that there is no cause-effect relationship between the singular case of the ‘full’ CF-EU EPA and the success of the EPA policy towards the ACP in general. The research detailed throughout this paper responds to two SFP-based questions: (1) To what extent is the EPA a SFP tool aimed at influencing and shaping the structures in the Caribbean? (2) To what extent is the internalisation of this process reflective of the EU as a hegemonic SFP actor vis-à-vis the Caribbean? This paper affirms both the role of the EU as a hegemonic SFP actor and the EPA as a hegemonic SFP tool. Research into the negotiation, agreement and controversy that surrounds every stage of the EPA confirmed that through modern diplomacy and an evolution in relations, consensus is at the fore of contemporary EU-Caribbean relations. Whilst at once dealing with the singular case of the Caribbean, the author offers a nuanced approach beyond 'EU navel-gazing' by incorporating an ‘outside-in’ perspective, which thereafter could be applied to EU-ACP relations and the North-South dialogue in general.

Diatom abundance and fatty acid composition of ice algae and of Calanus glacialis in samples obtained in 2008 in the eastern Beaufort Sea

The copepod Calanus glacialis plays a key role in the lipid-based energy flux in Arctic shelf seas. By utilizing both ice algae and phytoplankton, this species is able to extend its growth season considerably in these seasonally ice-covered seas. This study investigated the impacts of the variability in timing and extent of the ice algal bloom on the reproduction and population success of C. glacialis. The vertical distribution, reproduction, amount of storage lipids, stable isotopes, fatty acid and fatty alcohol composition of C. glacialis were assessed during the Circumpolar Flaw Lead System Study. Data were collected in the Amundsen Gulf, south-eastern Beaufort Sea, from January to July 2008 with the core-sampling from March to April. The reduction in sea ice thickness and coverage observed in the Amundsen Gulf in 2007 and 2008 affected the life strategy and reproduction of C. glacialis. Developmental stages CIII and CIV dominated the overwintering population, which resulted in the presence of very few CV and females during spring 2008. Spawning began at the peak of the ice algal bloom that preceded the precocious May ice break-up. Although the main recruitment may have occurred later in the season, low abundance of females combined with a potential mismatch between egg production/development to the first feeding stage and phytoplankton bloom resulted in low recruitment of C. glacialis in the early summer of 2008.
