Entonaciones del español. Acentos dialectales y acentos extranjeros
No full textEn el presente volumen, reunimos una serie de investigaciones que exploran uno de los fenómenos menos estudiados de la entonación y, en particular, de la entonación del español: las características de la entonación prelingüística, que es el fenómeno que permite estructurar el discurso hablado en unidades que tengan sentido y sean inteligibles para el interlocutor, y que informa, por tanto, a los fenómenos del acento dialectal y del acento extranjero, tan relevantes en la comunicación oral. Los trabajos que presentamos aquí han ido desarrollándose a lo largo de los últimos años en el seno del Grupo de Investigación en Entonación y Habla (GREP – Grup de Recerca en Entonació i Parla), que gestiona el Laboratorio de Fonética Aplicada de la Universidad de Barcelona, donde hemos elaborado y puesto a punto el modelo de análisis melódico del habla (AMH)
Conventional climate change economics: a way to define the optimal policy?
No full textThe application of cost–benefit logic to climate change has been popularized as “the economics of climate change.” The Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy (DICE) model of William Nordhaus, which models the interrelations between the economy and climate change and indicates the “optimal” path of emission mitigation, recommends moderate action to limit warming to 3.5 °C. This is in contrast to a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which urges to limit it to 1.5 °C. The analyses à la Nordhaus contain several questionable assumptions, choices of methods, and parameters that are based on the value judgments of the authors, and these determine their results. The economic analysis of climate change policies should incorporate the precautionary principle and a concern for sustainability and environmental justice
Fiestas, public space, and rape culture. A study of the Wolf Pack case
No full textThis chapter will focus on understanding which elements related to the festive context in the public space are used to explain that sexual violence against women can be understood as a part of the festivity itself. To do so, we will analyse the case of ‘La Manada’, a gang rape case that happened in July of 2016 during the San Fermín, a traditional and centenary festivity held in Pamplona (Spain). The verdict dictated by the judges caused huge demonstrations of women all over Spain. The mobilisations were to show the disagreement of women with the argumentation of the judicial sentence, which didn’t consider the aggression a rape because, according to them, the victim didn’t resist the rape. Thus through a specific and paradigmatic case, nowadays internationally known, we will show how a festive context in a public space can be used to justify sexual violence against women. To do so, we conducted qualitative fieldwork that included journalistic case tracking, in-depth analysis of the instruction and accusation writings, as well as the court rulings of the case. In-depth interviews with members of the local feminist movement in Pamplona and experts on sexual violence involved in the case were also conducted
What does the National High School Exam (ENEM) tell Brazilian society?
No full textThis article assesses the limitations and potentials of the National High School Exam (ENEM) as an indicator of school effectiveness in Brazil, and considers the effects of introducing contextual variables. A multilevel regression analysis was performed on three levels (individual, school and state) using microdata on 17,359 schools from 2009 and 2010. Contextual factors made it possible to explain 79% of the difference between schools. The raw average and value-added (random effect at the school level) produced contrasting evaluations in 34% of cases; and the average was more stable (r = 0.8) than value-added (r = 0.5) in both years. Various shortcomings in the ENEM as an indicator of school effectiveness were identified. The results show that this league table reveals more about socioeconomic conditions than the schools' own merit, in other words the value-added they are supposedly providing to the students
The Alkaloids of the Madangamine Group
No full textThis chapter is focused on madangamines, a small group of complex diamine alkaloids isolated from marine sponges of the order Haplosclerida, and covers their isolation, characterization, biogenesis, biological activity, and synthesis. Structurally, madangamines are pentacyclic alkaloids with an unprecedented skeletal type, characterized by a common diazatricyclic core and two peripheral macrocyclic rings. The isolation of these alkaloids from Xestospongia ingens (madangamines A E) and Pachychalina alcaloidifera (madangamine F) is described in detail. Physical and complete spectroscopic 1H and 13C NMR data are included. The proposed biogenesis of madangamines from ammonia, a functionalized three-carbon unit, and saturated or unsaturated linear long-chain dialdehydes, via partially reduced bis-alkylpyridine macrocycles, is discussed. The synthesis of alkaloids of the madangamine group has been little explored, with only one total synthesis reported so far, that of (þ)-madangamine D. This review also describes several model synthetic approaches to the diazatricyclic ABC core of these alkaloids, as well as model studies on the construction of the (Z,Z)-unsaturated 11-membered E macrocycle common to madangamines A E, the 13- and 14-membered D rings of madangamines C E, and the all-cistriunsaturated 15-membered D ring of madangamine A. Some members of this group have shown significant in vitro cytotoxicity against a number of cancer cell lines
Malos tiempos para la libertad de expresión. Una revisión de la praxis judicial en los delitos de enaltecimiento del terrorismo, injurias a la Corona e incitación al odio
No full textUn reciente informe de Amnistía Internacional (AI) (España: el derecho a protestar, amenazado) 1 denunciaba no hace mucho, entre otras muchas cuestiones, lo que esta ONG considera como una renovada determinación de las autoridades españolas de restringir el ejercicio de la libertad de expresión y de reunión. Sea o no casualidad, este documento vino a coincidir en el tiempo con el recurrente debate sobre los límites de la libertad de expresión, esta vez a cuenta de la polémica censura por parte de IFEMA de una obra expuesta en Arco por el artista Santiago Sierra titulada Presos políticos en la España contemporánea y de la decisión, no menos polémica, de una jueza de prohibir cautelarmente la edición y distribución del libro Fariña, del periodista Nacho Carretero, en el que se expone un crudo relato sobre el narcotráfico en Galicia, a instancias del alcalde de O Grove (Pontevedra), José Alfredo Bea Gondar, que ha demandado al citado autor y a su editorial por vulnerar su derecho al honor
Catalogue and typification of the Moroccan taxa published by Carlos Pau
No full textCarlos Pau was one of the first Spanish botanists interested in the flora of northern Morocco. He proposed 421 taxa for this area, including some illegitimate names and nomina nuda. A complete and annotated catalogue of names by Pau for Moroccan taxa is presented here. For all of them, the typification and synonymy have been evaluated. For 63 taxa the holotype is indicated, and 206 taxa are typified here. The main collection of Pau and most types are preserved in Herb. MA, but many types have also been found in Herb. BC and other European herbaria

La modificació de la capacitat per acceptar l'herència al Codi civil de Catalunya arran de la nova legislació sobre suport a les persones amb discapacitat
No full textThe “Draft law amending the Civil Code of Catalonia in the matter of support for the exercise of the legal capacity of people”, which was submitted to public information in April 2023, aims to modify art. 461-9 CCCat, referring to the capacityto accept and repudiate the inheritance. The objective pursued by the work is to highlight that the new wording proposed for this precept represents a step back regarding what is provided for in the legislation currently in force regarding the capacity to accept the inheritance. In this sense, it may end up restricting the capacity that can be understood as having today, in this area,minors. Apart from this, the new wording does not directly contemplate the capacity to accept of emancipated minors, nor that the adult can have constituted support.
L’“Avantprojecte de llei de modificació del Codi civil de Catalunya en matèria de suports
a l’exercici de la capacitat jurídica de les persones”, que fou sotmès a informació pública
a l’abril de 2023, pretén modificar l’art. 461-9 CCCat, referit a la capacitat per a
acceptar i repudiar l’herència. L’objectiu que persegueix el treball és posar en relleu que
la nova redacció proposada per a aquest precepte suposa un retrocés respecte del que
preveu la legislació actualment vigent quant a la capacitat per acceptar l’herència. En
aquest sentit, pot acabar restringint la capacitat que es pot entendre que tenen avui, en
aquest àmbit, les persones menors d’edat. Al marge d’això, la nova redacció no
contempla directament la capacitat per acceptar de les persones menors emancipades,
ni que la persona major d’edat pugui tenir suports constituïts
La «Ab Joy» en la poética de Pier Paolo Pasolini: usos de la herencia provenzal y construcción de la imagen de escritor
No full textEn el curso de una de las entrevistas realizadas por Jean-André Fieschi para el documental Pasolini l’enragé (1966), el cineasta francés aventura una posible interpretación general de la producción poética y cinematográfica del italiano: «Est-ce que finalement vos films mais aussi vos écrits ne témoignent pas à la fois et en même temps d’une joie et d’une souffrance devant la vie?» (Fieschi 1981: 50). Pasolini -que hasta aquel momento se había empeñado en hablar un «pathétique “mauvais” français», como dirá el entrevistador años después (Fieschi 1981: 53)- contesta ahora en italiano y -así lo muestran las imágenes del film- sin disimular su decepción declara la futilidad de todo lo que ha dicho hasta aquel momento en la entrevista
