La Declaració quebequesa sobre els arxius en català: unir-se per reaccionar i actuar

Entre 2003 i 2005, els 1.000 arxivers quebequesos que treballaven en els 300 serveis d'arxius i que estaven agrupats en 9 associacions, es van unir per reaccionar davant de certes situacions o per actuar sobre el seu entorn. Aquestes accions els fan prendre conciència de la seva força col·lectiva i els inciten a treballar en la redacció d'una Declaració quebequesa sobre els arxius per traduir la seva implicació professional i les seves ganes de treballar per a la constitució, la conservació i la valorització dels arxius de la seva societat.

Luis Cernuda: platonic emotiveness versus presocratic-aristotelian mind

The aim of this article is to show how, although the poet finds himself materialist or both Presocratic and Aristotelian, his poetic emotiveness is truly Platonic or idealist, so that that tension between reality and desire with the help of which his poetry has always been defined becomes once more confirmed thanks to the analysis of his poems from a philosophical rather than a literary point of view.

SAFO fragmento 16 V: El Deslumbramiento

E1 fr. 16 V es un breve poema en el que, argumentando con rigurosa lógica y utilizando como ejemplo demostrativo el mito de Helena, Safo formula la más antigua teorización conocida sobre la naturaleza de la belleza. Su modernidad es sorprendente; la belleza no es una cualidad absoluta, sino el producto fantasmático del impulso sexual. Los pormenores de su fenomenalogía se desglosan con el apoyo de la tradición homérica: el deslumbramiento inicial trastorna los sentidos creando apariencias ilusorias, ciega la ruzón, enajena, provoca olvido; pero cuando el deseo se extingue retornan memoria y conciencia, y con ellas el dolor. Se entiende así que la Helena que ya está de vuelta, la de la Odisea, proceda a administrar su seducción como una droga analgésica. El proccso se repite constantemente; sus sujetos somos todos, cualquiera, y su actualización afecta, más alla de la singular experiencia psica-física a las prácticas matrimoniales de la época, donde no se contemplava la elección de pareja y la mujer abandonaba su entorno para inscribirse en el del marido. Así la poesía de Safo, que forma parte de la iniciación a la vida adulta femenina, al poner al descubierto la relatividad de la belleza dentro del mecanismo amoroso, distancia a sus pupilas de sus propias emociones y las protege de la soledad insertándolas en una experiencia religiosa compartida.

El aprendiz de rapsoda, o de cuando Homero cruzó la laguna estigia (Lucianus, Cont. 7)

In Charon or the Inspectors we find the ferryman of the underworld on earth, talking to the god Hermes about wealth, happiness, and the vain human striving for material goods. The piece has been considered to be an example of Menippean satire inside the corpus of Lucian"s works. Homeric poetry is always in the background. Lucian uses Homeric verses, or rather, verses structured in the Homeric manner, to formulate his critical view of the mortal world; in addition, he puts these verses into the mouth of a character who must temporarily give up his job as a ferryman in order to practise the art of rhapsody. This paper analyses a textual problem: the two variants in Cont. 7 referring to Homer in the manuscript tradition. In a context in which Lucian wants to make fun not just of foolish humans but also of the Greek poet par excellence, the reading of the ueteres seems more appropriate because it illustrates better Lucian"s parodic intention in recalling Homer and in trying to adapt form and content to the Greek tradition.

Miguel de Unamuno i Heràclit: de ‘La elegía eterna’ a ‘La flor tronchada’

[cat] L’objectiu d’aquest breu article és provar i analitzar la influència de la saviesa d’Heràclit en alguns poemes de Miguel de Unamuno com ara ‘La elegía eterna’ i ‘La flor tronchada’. En certes ocasions –‘La elegía eterna’- Heràclit és per a ell una mena de crossa amb l’ajut de la qual reïx a mostrar poèticament les seves angoixes i, en d’altres –‘La flor tronchada’- necessita realment Heràclit per a il•lustrar la seva visió de Déu i de la vida humana com una lluita o guerra permanent.

The efficacy of pharmacotherapy for decreasing the expansion rate of abdominal aortic aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Pharmacotherapy may represent a potential means to limit the expansion rate of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Studies evaluating the efficacy of different pharmacological agents to slow down human AAA-expansion rates have been performed, but they have never been systematically reviewed or summarized. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Two independent reviewers identified studies and selected randomized trials and prospective cohort studies comparing the growth rate of AAA in patients with pharmacotherapy vs. no pharmacotherapy. We extracted information on study interventions, baseline characteristics, methodological quality, and AAA growth rate differences (in mm/year). Fourteen prospective studies met eligibility criteria. Five cohort studies raised the possibility of benefit of beta-blockers [pooled growth rate difference: -0.62 mm/year, (95%CI, -1.00 to -0.24)], but this was not confirmed in three beta-blocker RCTs [pooled RCT growth rate difference: -0.05 mm/year (-0.16 to 0.05)]. Statins have been evaluated in two cohort studies that yield a pooled growth rate difference of -2.97 (-5.83 to -0.11). Doxycycline and roxithromycin have been evaluated in two RCTs that suggest possible benefit [pooled RCT growth rate difference: -1.32 mm/year (-2.89 to 0.25)]. Studies assessing NSAIDs, diuretics, calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors, meanwhile, did not find statistically significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: Beta-blockers do not appear to significantly reduce the growth rate of AAAs. Statins and other anti-inflammatory agents appear to hold promise for decreasing the expansion rate of AAA, but need further evaluation before definitive recommendations can be made.

Minimal analytical characterisation of engineered nanomaterials need for hazard assessment in biological matrices

The safe and responsible development of engineered nanomaterials (ENM), nanotechnology-based materials and products, together with the definition of regulatory measures and implementation of "nano"-legislation in Europe require a widely supported scientific basis and sufficient high quality data upon which to base decisions. At the very core of such a scientific basis is a general agreement on key issues related to risk assessment of ENMs which encompass the key parameters to characterise ENMs, appropriate methods of analysis and best approach to express the effect of ENMs in widely accepted dose response toxicity tests. The following major conclusions were drawn: Due to high batch variability of ENMs characteristics of commercially available and to a lesser degree laboratory made ENMs it is not possible to make general statements regarding the toxicity resulting from exposure to ENMs. 1) Concomitant with using the OECD priority list of ENMs, other criteria for selection of ENMs like relevance for mechanistic (scientific) studies or risk assessment-based studies, widespread availability (and thus high expected volumes of use) or consumer concern (route of consumer exposure depending on application) could be helpful. The OECD priority list is focussing on validity of OECD tests. Therefore source material will be first in scope for testing. However for risk assessment it is much more relevant to have toxicity data from material as present in products/matrices to which men and environment are be exposed. 2) For most, if not all characteristics of ENMs, standardized methods analytical methods, though not necessarily validated, are available. Generally these methods are only able to determine one single characteristic and some of them can be rather expensive. Practically, it is currently not feasible to fully characterise ENMs. Many techniques that are available to measure the same nanomaterial characteristic produce contrasting results (e.g. reported sizes of ENMs). It was recommended that at least two complementary techniques should be employed to determine a metric of ENMs. The first great challenge is to prioritise metrics which are relevant in the assessment of biological dose response relations and to develop analytical methods for characterising ENMs in biological matrices. It was generally agreed that one metric is not sufficient to describe fully ENMs. 3) Characterisation of ENMs in biological matrices starts with sample preparation. It was concluded that there currently is no standard approach/protocol for sample preparation to control agglomeration/aggregation and (re)dispersion. It was recommended harmonization should be initiated and that exchange of protocols should take place. The precise methods used to disperse ENMs should be specifically, yet succinctly described within the experimental section of a publication. 4) ENMs need to be characterised in the matrix as it is presented to the test system (in vitro/ in vivo). 5) Alternative approaches (e.g. biological or in silico systems) for the characterisation of ENMS are simply not possible with the current knowledge.

Tres argumentos para di/versificar as identidades de xénero: Arden, Pronomes e Lob*s

O noso propósito é presentar o proxecto máis ambicioso de poesía gai e lesbiana galega escrito, en paralelo, por Ana Romaní e Antón Lopo. A súa esculca poética representa unha interesante proposta de experimentación formal, na que se renova a concepción da poesía ó levala e adaptala a outros soportes, sen perder por iso a intensidade e a emoción lírica. Ademais ofrece dúas reflexións diferentes e complementarias sobre as identidades homosexuais, nas que se subliña o dereito a saír da sombra, a reivindicación do goce sexual (a arder e a ser lob*), e a definirse por posición e non pola imposición das convencións xenéricas (a rebeiión contra os pronomes).

Como prenden elas da nación? sobre a poesia épica a comenzos do século XXI

Pode facerse cargo a poeta do nós sen sucumbir a unha idea de comunidade sentimental vertebrada a partir dunha postergación utópica? Como pode pór en debate ao tempo a causa das mulleres e a da nación subalterna sen que unha tenda a abranguer a outra como paraugas totalizador? Como se constrúe unha épica non heroica axeitada a un tempo nos que non son posíbeis as narracións míticas ou técnicas sobre a orixe dunha comunidade? Chus Pato e Ana Romaní ofrecen nos seus poemarios publicados a partir do ano 2000 modelos que interrogan á comunidade desde a transformación das formas poéticas do épico para interrogar a identidade nacional desde a diferenza sexual

Poesia, música i escola: un triangle sonor

L"article parteix de tres idees fonamentals: a) la importància de l"oralitat, en l"educació general i en l"educació poètica i artística en concret; b) la necessitat d"educar de forma holística, més enllà de cada disciplina; i c) els forts lligams històrics entre cançó i poesia en l"àmbit de la didàctica. A partir d"aquí, s"aborda la relació entre poesia i música des de quatre dimensions (fenomenològica, comparativa, complementària i integradora) i se n"extreuen implicacions educatives i didàctiques. Des d"aquest plantejament i de cara a facilitar un ús integrat d"ambdues disciplines, l"article planteja un marc comú entre poesia dita en veu alta i música que en faciliti l"anàlisi. Es proposa un esquema amb tres dimensions (recepció sonora, interpretació escènica i creació) que permeti la comprensió de les obres i l"adquisició del sentit crític. Finalment, com a exemple il·lustratiu, es mostra l"aplicació de l"esquema a un poema recitat per Enric Casasses.

La passió segons Renée Vivien i el miratge-miracle del mirall

In this article, Rosa Cabré discusses Marçal¿s novel and illustrates how, according to the author, the desire of love, which is a source of pleasure often accompanied by guilt and distress, can lead to the creation or the illusion of an absolute beauty, like poetry. She explains in what way the mirror and the mask, recurring motifs in Marçal¿s work, symbolise identity and ¿otherness¿ and how these unite the real and the symbolic level. The novel contains an infinite number of mirrors, both external and internal ones, which enable the characters to see themselves reflected. This reflection is linked to feminity and to the possibilities of discovering one¿s own identity.
