Lucía Miranda : O el camino de la extrañeza a la absorción

En este trabajo analizaremos los presupuestos ideológicos y programáticos que se traslucen en la novela Lucía Miranda de Eduarda Mansilla. Escritora en un país donde sólo las elites tenían acceso a la escritura y a la alta cultura, en la primera parte de la novela, Eduarda Mansilla plantea una serie de escenas de lectura a través de las cuales defiende las bondades de la educación popular. Por otra parte, en la segunda parte del libro, le interesa arribar, después de presentar el choque entre culturas, -la letrada representada por los españoles y la oral representada por los timbúes- a una síntesis de opuestos que rescate lo mejor de unos y otros; y en ese intento deja traslucir el proyecto ideológico al que adscribe. El juego de apropiaciones, proyecciones y entrecruzamientos que vinculan a Lucía Miranda con el romancero, las escenas de lectura y el Cantar del Mío Cid, permiten dar cuenta de una elección que no escapa a condicionamientos personales, familiares y de clase que tienen como marco la historia argentina y el horizonte de expectativas de la época

El cantar de las hijas del Cid (fragmento de gesta)

Mode of access: Internet.

El Cid.

Se desarrolla un proyecto de innovación educativa sobre una propuesta diferente para conocer la obra y vida del Cid Campeador, su entorno histórico y geográfico. El proyecto trata de desarrollar en el alumnado el interés por la lectura y la comprensión lectora a través del desarrollo de la sensibilidad, la capacidad creativa y la capacidad de disfrutar de cada lectura, creando un clima escolar favorable en el que el alumnado participe en las actividades propuestas por el profesorado y disfrute de su realización. Se elaboran diferentes murales que representan mapas históricos y árboles genealógicos para reconocer la obra y la vida del Cid Campeador. Se crean paneles conmemorativos, dibujos y distintos elementos ornamentales de la época medieval para crear en clase un ambiente adecuado. Se confecciona un libro personal de trabajo para que cada alumno y alumna realice las actividades propuestas. Se leen y recitan romances para ejercitar la memoria y mejorar la dicción de los alumnos. Se celebra el Carnaval medieval, para ello se nombran caballeros medievales y realizando diversos juegos de la época. La experiencia resulta positiva a pesar de la falta de medios materiales y de la negativa del alumnado a cantar o recitar los romances.

El Poema del Mío Cid : una nueva posibilidad de trabajo.

La experiencia enmarcada dentro del área de Lingüística, aunque implica también a otras áreas del currículo, se basa en la utilización del Poema del Mío Cid de una forma novedosa. Con la intención de captar la atención del alumno, se prepara y desarrolla una de las rutas seguidas por el héroe del Poema (Vivar-Medinaceli). En el recorrido se utiliza la bicicleta y un vehículo de apoyo. Los objetivos son: comprender discursos orales y escritos; utilizar la lengua como instrumento para la adquisición de nuevos aprendizajes y para la comprensión y análisis de la realidad; obtener y relacionar información verbal, icónica y estadística obtenida a través de distintas fuentes; y acercar al alumno a la Literatura española (en concreto a la épica medieval). La experiencia se desarrolla con un grupo de quince alumnos de cuarto de ESO con necesidades educativas especiales, lo que exige realizar una adaptación curricular del área general de Humanidades y Lengua (ámbito sociolingüístico). La experiencia comienza con una lectura dirigida del cantar (estudio de los personajes, de las estructuras de narracion, etc.); después se inician los preparativos de la ruta cicloturística (localización de mapas, organización del itinerario por los pueblos, comunidades...); durante su realización se recogen datos (densidad de población, estructura ocupacional, folclore, gastronomía...) que luego servirán para elaborar un trabajo monográfico. La valoración del trabajo es positiva.

Stereochemistry of Peptides Containing 1-AminocyclopentanecarboxylicA cid ( Am5): Solution and Solid-state Conformations of Boc-Acc '-Acc'-NHMe

The conformational analysis of a protected homodipeptide of 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (Acc5) has been carried out. 1H-nmr studies establish a -turn conformation for Boc-Acc5-Acc5-NHMe in chloroform and dimethylsulfoxide solutions involving the methylamide NH in an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Supportive evidence for the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond is obtained from ir studies. X-ray diffraction studies reveal a type III -turn conformation in the solid state stabilized by a 4 1 hydrogen bond between the Boc CO and methylamide NH groups. The , values for both Acc5 residues are close to those expected for an ideal 310-helical conformation ( ± 60°, ±30°).

Do stable isotopes in carbonate cement of Mio-Pleistocene Himalayan sediments record paleoecological and paleoclimatic changes?

Non-pedogenic carbonates, such as carbonate cement and nodules in the sandstones, are quite common in the terrestrial geological record. Unlike pedogenic carbonates, their stable isotope ratios lack investigations for paleo-climatic reconstructions. The present investigation therefore, explores the possibility of use of stable isotope studies of non-pedogenic carbonates from the Mb-Pleistocene Siwalik Group of sediments exposed in the Ramnagar sub-basin of the NW Himalaya. Petrographic studies reveal the dominance of micrite fabric in carbonate nodules both of pedogenic and non-pedogenic samples irrespective of specific stratigraphic unit However, calcite as cement in the sandstones shows the dominance of micrite fabric in the younger in age sediments. Seventy-two non-pedogenic carbonate samples from the carbonate nodules and cement in the Siwalik sandstones, ranging in age between similar to 1 Ma and 12.2 Ma, were analyzed for delta C-13 and delta O-18 values. The delta C-13 values vary from -24.77 parts per thousand to -1.1 parts per thousand and delta O-18 values vary from -15.34 parts per thousand to -7.81 parts per thousand. Pedogenic and non-pedogenic carbonates ranging in age between similar to 1 Ma and 6 Ma have largely similar delta C-13 values and the range of delta C-13 values indicate the dominance of C-4 type of vegetation. However, unlike pedogenic carbonates which showed the dominance of C-3 type of vegetation pre- 7 Ma on the basis of delta C-13 -depleted isotopic values (Singh et al., 2011), delta C-13 values are largely enriched in the corresponding aged non-pedogenic carbonates revealing no information on specific type of vegetation. Likewise, paleoprecipitational reconstructions from delta O-18 values in pedogenic carbonates showed a progressive increase in aridity from similar to 12 Ma to recent excluding short term increases in rainfall/monsoon intensity at around 10 Ma, 5 Ma, and 1.8 Ma (Singh et al., 2012). On the contrary, such reconstructions are not possible from the delta O-18 values of non-pedogenic carbonates and indeed the delta O-18 values of non-pedogenic carbonates are largely depleted to as much as 6 parts per thousand from the corresponding pedogenic carbonates. Such differences in delta C-13 and delta O-18 values of non-pedogenic carbonates from pedogenic carbonates are primarily due to the dependence of the former on groundwater conditions responsible for precipitating carbonate. Further, a comparison of isotopic values between non-pedogenic and pedogenic carbonates can be interpreted that post-6 Ma and pre-6 Ma non-pedogenic carbonates were largely formed by shallow and deep groundwater conditions respectively. The result of these investigative studies therefore, suggests that the stable delta C-13 and delta O-18 values of non-pedogenic carbonates, unlike the pedogenic carbonates and irrespective of nature of calcite fabric, showed their little importance in paleoclimatic and paleoecological reconstructions.

Tectono-geomorphic and environmental set-up deduced during deposition of Mio-Pleistocene sediments in NW Himalaya, India

Detailed pedofacies characterization along-with lithofacies investigations of the Mio-Pleistocene Siwalik sediments exposed in the Ramnagar sub-basin have been studied so as to elucidate variability in time and space of fluvial processes and the role of intra- and extra-basinal controls on fluvial sedimentation during the evolution of the Himalayan foreland basin (HFB). Dominance of multiple, moderately to strongly developed palaeosol assemblages during deposition of Lower Siwalik (similar to 12-10.8 Ma) sediments suggest that the HFB was marked by Upland set-up of Thomas et al. (2002). Activity of intra-basinal faults on the uplands and deposition of terminal fans at different times caused the development of multiple soils. Further, detailed pedofacies along-with lithofacies studies indicate prevalence of stable tectonic conditions and development of meandering streams with broad floodplains. However, the Middle Siwalik (similar to 10.8-4.92 Ma) sub-group is marked by multistoried sandstones and minor mudstone and mainly weakly developed palaeosols, indicating deposition by large braided rivers in the form of megafans in a Lowland set-up of Thomas et al. (2002). Significant change in nature and size of rivers from the Lower to Middle Siwalik at similar to 10 Ma is found almost throughout of the basin from Kohat Plateau (Pakistan) to Nepal because the Himalayan orogeny witnessed its greatest tectonic upheaval at this time leading to attainment of great heights by the Himalaya, intensification of the monsoon, development of large rivers systems and a high rate of sedimentation, hereby a major change from the Upland set-up to the Lowland set-up over major parts of the HFB. An interesting geomorphic environmental set-up prevailed in the Ramnagar sub-basin during deposition of the studied Upper Siwalik (similar to 4.92 to <1.68 Ma) sediments as observed from the degree of pedogenesis and the type of palaeosols. In general, the Upper Siwalik sub-group in the Ramnagar sub-basin is subdivided from bottom to top into the Purmandal sandstone (4.92-4.49 Ma), Nagrota (4.49-1.68 Ma) and Boulder Conglomerate (<1.68 Ma) formations on the basis of sedimentological characters and change in dominant lithology. Presence of mudstone, a few thin gravel beds and dominant sandstone lithology with weakly to moderately developed palaeosols in the Purmandal sandstone Fm. indicates deposition by shallow braided fluvial streams. The deposition of mudstone dominant Nagrota Fm. with moderately to some well developed palaeosols and a zone of gleyed palaeosols with laminated mudstones and thin sandstones took place in an environment marked by numerous small lakes, water-logged regions and small streams in an environment just south of the Piedmont zone, perhaps similar to what is happening presently in the Upland region/the Upper Gangetic plain. This area is locally called the `Trai region' (Pascoe, 1964). Deposition of Boulder Conglomerate Fm. took place by gravelly braided river system close to the Himalayan Ranges. Activity along the Main Boundary Fault led to progradation of these environments distal-ward and led to development of on the whole a coarsening upward sequence. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Más allá del lenguaje : la metáfora como recurso expresivo en el Cantar de los Cantares

Resumen: Partiendo del antiguo debate acerca de cuál es la clave de lectura más adecuada para comprender el Cantar de los Cantares –literal o alegórica, y en qué sentido cada una de ellas–, se vuelve sobre el texto en cuanto literatura poética, dejándolo hablar por sí mismo. Allí aparece inmediatamente el rol protagónico de la metáfora como recurso expresivo que permite referir a una realidad pluridimensional. Estudiando el uso de la metáfora en el Cantar, a partir de algunos ejemplos, se reconoce en el poema un grado muy elaborado de metaforización, donde las imágenes se acumulan e interactúan generando varios niveles de sentido simultáneos, que no se eliminan sino que se enriquecen mutuamente. Detrás de este complejo entramado de metáforas, emerge el referente principal del libro y la metáfora se revela como lenguaje especialmente adecuado para decir tanto lo humano como lo divino.

Welt-Fischereierträge 1995: 112,9 Mio. Tonnen

Total world fishery production 1995, including aquaculture, of fish, shellfish, frogs and turtles – reached a new record of 112.9 million tones live weight. Marine fishery had a share of 91,9 million tonnes (+ 0.4) and freshwater fishery 21.0 million tonnes (+ 2.0). Not included in these figures are seals, whales, crocodiles and algae. Marine mammals and crocodiles are listed by number of killed individuals, and not given by weight. Algae alone represent a biomass of 7.1 million tonnes, but are not included by the FAO in the nominal „total production of the world“ either. About two thirds of the marine fishery harvest was used for human consumption, one third for industrial purposes – mainly production of fish meal and fish oil.

O cantar da Germânia: política e cultura na Alemanha na passagem dos séculos XII e XIII

Esta tese desenvolvida na linha de pesquisa Política e Cultura destaca o interesse pelos fenômenos da transmissão do conhecimento intelectual. A tese reconstrói a expressão da cultura política medieval germânica pela ótica de dois poetas, Walther von der Vogelweide e Wolfram von Eschenbach, integrantes da aristocracia guerreira. Os suportes teóricos dos Sprüche, sentenças de natureza política de Vogelweide e do Parzifal de Eschenbach, foram fundamentais para compreender o posicionamento político e cultural alemão frente às transformações que afetaram a Cristandade no período de fins do século XII ao início do século XIII. Esse período foi marcado pelo confronto de Papas e Imperadores em torno do direito de exercer a autoridade no âmbito do Sacro Império Romano-Germânico. O movimento cruzadista, o renascimento urbano e a ascensão de novos atores sociais burgueses integram o conjunto dos elementos a serem levados em conta na elaboração da tese. A ideia norteadora do trabalho tornou necessário recorrer a obras literárias com objetivo de elucidar questões de natureza histórica, tendo claro que a Literatura não é um contraponto da História e o texto resultante contribua para ressignificar a produção política da cultura medieval e um melhor entendimento dos mecanismos do poder na Alemanha medieval. No plano teórico-metodológico recorremos à chamada História Cultural fornecendo uma visão integradora dos planos político, social e econômico.

Screening and Structural Characterization of alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Hawthorn Leaf Flavonoids Extract by Ultrafiltration LC-DAD-MSn and SORI-CID FTICR MS

In vitro a-glucosidase inhibition assays and ultrafiltration liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ultrafiltration LC-DAD-ESI-MSn) were combined to screen a-glucosidase inhibitors from hawthorn leaf flavonoids extract (HLFE). As a result, four compounds were identified as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors in the HLFE, and their structures were confirmed to be quercetin-3-O-rha-(1-4)-glc-rha and C-glycosylflavones (vitexin-2 ''-O-glucoside, vitexin-2 ''-O-rhamnoside and vitexin) by high-resolution sustained off resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) data obtained by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS).
