Para un recorrido conceptual-lingüístico de los elementos retóricos en la narración discursiva de José Mujica Cordano
No full textLa reciente elección de Yamandú Orsi a la presidencia de Uruguay ha destacado, una vez más, la presencia de una figura que nunca ha dejado de ser relevante, a pesar de la enfermedad que lo atormenta desde hace tiempo. José Mujica Cordano, alias Pepe, hizo la guerra y participó en ella; arriesgó la vida y gran parte de esta la pasó enjaulado en cuatro paredes estrechas y desairadas. Contentarse con un colchón después de haber pasado 13 años en una celda en total soledad y haberse hecho amigo de las ratas y las hormigas permiten valorar la sencillez de la escasez material. Perder la libertad cultural, además de física, por siete largos años sin poder leer un libro o compartir un pensamiento escrito menguarían la psicología de cualquier ser humano dotado de conciencia y de sagacidad intelectual. Un bolígrafo o un lápiz pueden cambiar la vida de una persona y de quien tenga la suerte de conocerla; con o sin bolígrafo o lápiz el pensamiento de una persona queda igual, en las palabras al aire, en los giros lingüísticos, en los cuentos de vida y en las historias reales, en la elección de las expresiones, en los consejos desinteresados, en la pesquisa constante de apoyo emocional, en el registro informal de lo elemental, en el seguimiento de la sencillez, en la tenaz invitación a ir al encuentro de lo esencial, de lo básico, de lo primordial, de lo fundamental, en una palabra en la búsqueda de la felicidad personal, que siempre es una felicidad ‘humana’, concreta, no abstracta, patente, que se junta con la suerte de los otros.
Es esto lo que José Mujica Cordano ha logrado compartir, este es el rastro que su presidencia ha dejado: la invitación a intentar ser felices ante las adversidades a las que la vida enfrenta al hombre o que, mejor dicho, el hombre mismo se procura con sus comportamientos aislados de toda humanidad o de cualquier interés por lo inmaterial. La vida no se compra en el supermercado, ni se trueca por cuentas de dinero; la vida se construye día tras día, no tiene descuentos, sufre por los engaños diarios, pero también se alegra cuando logra guardar diferencias con estos y gozar de los esmirriados instantes de beatitud y de aventurada, precaria, inestable pero saludable dicha. La invitación a guardar vida para entregarla a la felicidad compite como un toro lidiando en el pensamiento conceptual-lingüístico y también político de un jefe de Estado atípico y que ha hecho de su atipicidad un estilo de vida y una manera de ser, exenta de todo oropel estratégico y totalmente insertada en el tiempo globalizante y globalizado en el que le ha tocado explayarse. Tras ser postulado al premio Nobel de la Paz su capacidad propositiva se disparó. No es cierto que fuera una tentación a su ego, pero desde entonces despegó, revolucionando el mundo político local y dejando que la gente común pudiera asomarse con mayor tranquilidad a la ventana de la búsqueda de una sencilla felicidad, convirtiéndola en un logro sincero, franco y simplemente posible. En su discurso, Mujica emplea una variedad de figuras retóricas que potencian su mensaje, convirtiéndolo en una reflexión incisiva sobre la humanidad y sus contradicciones. El objetivo del presente ensayo es analizar su mensaje a través de las figuras retóricas empleadas en su discurso

No full textTort Rules and Regulatory Sandboxes: The Influence of the National Jurisdictions
No full textIn the legal framework governing regulatory sandboxes, the AI Act devotes only a single paragraph to non-contractual liability, stating that European and national rules apply to providers. However, this choice opens potential scenarios for diverging applications by national courts on the liability of the conducts within the sandbox, which should be considered in light of the different legal models of the single Member States, and which could jeopardize the harmonization process.
Furthermore, considering the applicable regulations, consideration should also be given to the proposal to amend the Product Liability Directive, which includes AI systems within its scope. This proposal leans toward a strict liability model or a framework where, through the reversal of the burden of proof, fault plays a limited role, as seen in the proposed AI Liability Directive. The present paper suggests that, in the case of regulatory sandboxes, fault-based liability should apply during the experimental phase in order to not to discourage a developing market and to allow newcos without significant financial investments to access the experimental phase.
Energy hubs components and operation: State-of-the-art review
No full textIn recent years, increasing energy demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves have created a vital need for a framework that brings effective energy costs while minimizing environmental impact. Strategists have required a novel approach to address these challenges. The energy hub is an innovative concept designed to alter energy management, optimize systems and advance sustainable multi-energy solutions. Founding a robust scheduling framework based on the energy hub model is crucial. This study focuses on two key aspects: investigating the components and structure of energy hubs and examining the operation and factors influencing them. Additionally, it evaluates energy hub flexibility through a thorough analysis of short-term and long-term considerations, such as energy storage systems, energy resources, electric vehicles, and computational methods. Various approaches to enhance energy hub flexibility are explored. The findings confirm the significant potential of the energy hub paradigm. By integrating renewable energy, storage facilities, electric vehicles, and optimized management techniques, the energy hub model emerges as a powerful tool to increase the electricity grid's adaptability. In the field of power systems, it represents a vital step towards sustainable energy solutions with profound implications for industry and academia

No full text“The Virgin with the Book at Breedon-on-the-Hill (Leicestershire)”
No full textImmured in the Priory Church of St Mary and St Hardulph at Breedon-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire, is a stone relief with a half-length representation of the Virgin Mary (Fig. 21.1). It is part of the largest group of sculpted reliefs from the early medieval kingdom of Mercia. She is veiled and has no nimbus; she imparts a blessing to the beholder with a disproportionately enlarged right hand, which also points to a book she reverently holds in her veiled left hand. She is framed by an arch supported by colonnettes and plain capitals. It has been suggested that her “hieratic frontality”, staring gaze, and the drapery style may be derived from seventh-century Byzantine icons. Yet, the iconography of this relief, let alone the emphasis on the hand pointing to the book, is not found in Byzantine art and remains highly unusual to the point that not all scholars who have dealt with it believe it to be a representation of the Virgin. In fact, in the conventional Byzantine half-length iconography of the Virgin known as Hodegetria, ‘The One who shows the Way’, she holds the Christ Child in one arm while pointing to him with the other, indicating the Saviour, the way to Salvation. At Breedon a book takes the place of the Child. That being the case, is the relief in Breedon to be seen as a variation of the Hodegetria, or a Mercian rendition of an earlier, lost model, or an invention of early medieval England? What might its historical context suggest
Da città dei Lucani a colonia latina. La moneta di Paestum dopo il 273 a.C.
No full textIl contributo analizza la produzione monetale di Paestum dalla deduzione della colonia latina nel 273 a.C. fino alla chiusura della zecca in età tiberiana, ponendo attenzione ai mutamenti istituzionali, economici e culturali che accompagnarono la romanizzazione della città. Lo studio si fonda su una dettagliata analisi tipologica e ponderale delle prime emissioni in bronzo e argento, distinguendo tre fasi principali, ciascuna caratterizzata da diversi standard di peso e formule iconografiche. L’esame dei rinvenimenti, distribuiti tra Campania, Lucania, Puglia e Sicilia, rivela una circolazione sia locale sia sovraregionale. Confronti sistematici con altre colonie e municipi dell’Italia centro-meridionale permettono di ipotizzare l’esistenza di un sistema monetario interconnesso, seppure autonomo rispetto agli standard romani. Infine, viene evidenziata la persistenza di una certa autonomia amministrativa nella gestione della zecca di Paestum, anche dopo la riforma sestantaria del 211 a.C., suggerendo un’evoluzione graduale e articolata dell’integrazione monetaria nella compagine romana.This paper examines the coinage of Paestum from the foundation of the Latin colony in 273 BC to the closure of its mint under Tiberius, highlighting the institutional, economic, and cultural transformations tied to the city’s Romanization. The analysis is based on a thorough typological and metrological study of the first silver and bronze issues, which are grouped into three major phases, each with distinct weight standards and iconographic schemes. The distribution of coin finds—spanning Campania, Lucania, Apulia, and Sicily—points to both local and interregional circulation. Comparative data from other colonies and municipalities in central and southern Italy suggest the existence of an interconnected, albeit locally autonomous, monetary system. Finally, the paper underlines the persistent administrative autonomy of the Paestum mint even after the sextantal reform of 211 BC, revealing a gradual and multifaceted process of integration into the Roman monetary framework
State of health assessment of Li-ion batteries using a multiple linear regression model
No full textIn this study, we investigate the impact of peak area in the incremental capacity curve, current, temperature, and charge capacity on battery performance through a regression model. We employ data from the University of Michigan Battery Lab to characterise the degradation of lithium-ion pouch cells under different cycling conditions. We propose two linear regression models, with and without interaction terms, to describe the relationships between the battery capacity and three independent variables: the test current, the temperature of the battery, and the area under the main peak of the IC curve. The results show that the inclusion of interaction terms in the model significantly improves the accuracy of the model, especially under varying thermal and current conditions
