“Estarse + {AdjP/PP/locative AdvP}” in Spanish. The emphatic clitic
No full textEn la bibliografía más reciente sobre el tema, las diferencias entre la estructura “estarse + {SAdj/SP/SAdv de lugar}” (Juan se estuvo {callado/en silencio/en la casa/allí}) y su correlato sin el clítico suelen ubicarse en el ámbito aspectual y en el de la estructura semántica oracional. Actualmente, en lo que concierne al papel que juega la presencia del clítico en construcciones como estas, son cuatro las hipótesis que se barajan: a) cuando se trata de estados, la presencia del clítico solo es posible con un estado no canónico, esto es, con un estado resultante que presupone un logro previo y cuyo sujeto es un controlador (Morimoto 2008 y 2011)); b) si se trata de estados, el clítico aparece únicamente con un estado controlado (no canónico) cuyo sujeto es agente (Gómez Vázquez y García Fernández 2013, que excluyen explícitamente de su estudio ejemplos con lo que unos han considerado un atributo locativo y otros un argumento locativo (Juan se estuvo en la casa), y con un SAdv de lugar (Juan se estuvo allí)); c) el clítico modifica la estructura eventiva del predicado, que pasa de ser un estado canónico a un evento complejo (logro + estado resultante), y convierte el sujeto en un agente (García Fernández y Gómez Vázquez 2015, que, igualmente, excluyen de su trabajo ejemplos como los excluidos por Gómez Vázquez y García Fernández 2013), y d) el clítico transforma el estado canónico en un estado incoativo e introduce cierto componente agentivo en el predicado (Marín y Fábregas 2018 y Fábregas 2021, pp. 79–80). Es objetivo de nuestro trabajo demostrar que las diferencias entre la estructura con el clítico y su correlato sin él han de situarse exclusivamente en el ámbito del enunciado, esto es, de la estructura lingüística con la que se lleva a cabo el acto verbal. En este tipo concreto de estructura con estar, el clítico permite que el hablante enfatice en el enunciado la participación en el estado denotado del mismo individuo al que se refiere el sujeto de la oración.In the most recent literature on the subject, the differences between the structure “estarse + {AdjP/PP/locative AdvP}” (Juan se estuvo {callado/en silencio/en la casa/allí}) and its counterpart without the clitic are typically found at the aspectual level and at the level of the semantic sentence structure. Currently, four hypotheses are considered regarding the role played by the presence of the clitic in constructions such as these: a) when dealing with states, the presence of the clitic is only possible with a non-canonical state, that is, with a resultant state that presupposes a previous achievement and whose subject is a controller (Morimoto 2008 and 2011); b) when dealing with states, the clitic appears only with a controlled state (non-canonical state) whose subject is an agent (Gómez Vázquez and García Fernández 2013, who explicitly exclude from their study examples with what some authors have considered a locative predicate and others a locative argument (Juan se estuvo en la casa), and with an locative AdvP (Juan se estuvo allí)); c) the clitic modifies the eventive structure of the predicate, which changes from a canonical state to a complex event (achievement + resultant state), making the subject an agent (García Fernández and Gómez Vázquez 2015, who also exclude from their work examples such as those excluded by Gómez Vázquez and García Fernández 2013), and d) the clitic transforms the canonical state into an inchoative state and introduces a certain agentive component in the predicate (Marín and Fábregas 2018 and Fábregas 2021, pp. 79-80). The purpose of our paper is to demonstrate that these differences are solely present in the utterance, that is, in the linguistic structure with which the speech act is performed. The clitic in this specific structure with estar enables the speaker to emphasize the participation in the denoted state of the same individual referred to by the sentence’s subject
Socio-spatial inequalities and divergent territorial dynamics: comparative analysis between the Urban Agglomeration of Murcia and the Sierra del Segura Region (Albacete)
No full textLa atracción demográfica ejercida por las grandes áreas urbanas durante las últimas décadas ha provocado que se generen tanto zonas de éxodo demográfico como espacios de atracción poblacional. Este hecho ha dado lugar a una importante desigualdad en la distribución de la población sobre la superficie terrestre. Ante este escenario, el presente trabajo de investigación tiene el objetivo de analizar la evolución, causas y perspectivas de futuro en un territorio que ha experimentado un importante éxodo rural y, como consecuencia, un proceso de despoblación (Comarca Sierra del Segura), y en otro próximo que actúa como polo de atracción y dinamización demográfica (Aglomeración Urbana de Murcia). La metodología empleada para abordar estos objetivos está basada en el tratamiento de información obtenida de diferentes fuentes oficiales, entre las que destaca el Instituto Nacional de Estadística, el Atlas Nacional de Renta por Hogares, la web de Reto Demográfico del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico o la base de datos del Banco de España. Las conclusiones obtenidas manifiestan la importante brecha existente en el volumen y la evolución poblacional del área rural y urbana analizadas, la relevancia que posee la presencia y accesibilidad a servicios básicos en cada uno de los territorios y la importancia que a día de hoy ejerce la cohesión social y territorial generada mediante un reparto equitativo de la población sobre la superficie terrestre.The demographic attraction exerted by large urban areas over the last few decades has led to the creation of areas of exclusion or rejection together with areas of population attraction. This has given rise to a significant inequality in the distribution of the population over the earth’s surface. Given this scenario, the aim of this research project is to analyze the evolution, causes and future prospects in a territory that has experienced a significant rural exodus and, as a result, a process of depopulation (Sierra del Segura Region), and in another nearby area that acts as a pole of attraction and demographic dynamization (Murcia Urban Agglomeration). The methodology used to address these objectives is based on the processing of information obtained from different official sources, including the National Institute of Statistics, the National Atlas of Household Income, the Demographic Challenge website of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the database of the Bank of Spain. The conclusions obtained show the significant gap in the volume and evolution of the population in the rural and urban areas analyzed, the importance of the presence and accessibility of basic services in each of the territories and the importance of social and territorial cohesion generated by an equitable distribution of the population over the land area.Este trabajo se integra dentro del proyecto “Despoblación y reto demográfico en el nodo interprovincial del sureste de la Península Ibérica: la necesaria implementación de una política transversal y una gobernanza multinivel” desarrollado mediante la obtención de una beca/contrato “Margarita Salas” para la formación de jóvenes doctores, concedida por la Universidad de Murcia en el marco de las ayudas de la Unión Europea – Next Generation EU para la recualificación del sistema universitario español durante el trienio 2021-2023
La restitution des objets d’art africains : Le silence du totem et le rapport au monde de la littérature
No full textThis article examines the question of the restitution or return of African art objects and analyzes Fatoumata Ngom’s novel Le silence du totem (Citation2018), in order to highlight the contribution of literature to this issue. It follows decolonial critique (Sarr, Mbembe, Vergès), which situates the urgency of restitution and reparation and calls into question the universal principle of art as well as the function of the Western museum. Building on the reflections of Patrick Chamoiseau (Citation2025), which take up the notion of relation developed by Edouard Glissant (Citation1996), we emphasize literature’s relationship to the world as a creative force capable of constructing other realities that are sensitive to the world

Potential feeding sites for seabirds and marine mammals reveal large overlap with offshore wind energy development worldwide
No full textOffshore wind energy is experiencing accelerated growth worldwide to support global net zero ambitions. To ensure responsible development and to protect the natural environment, it is essential to understand and mitigate the potential impacts on wildlife, particularly on seabirds and marine mammals. However, fully understanding the effects of offshore wind energy production requires characterising its global geographic occurrence and its potential overlap with marine species. This study aims to generate risk maps of interaction between offshore and seabirds and marine mammals based on the distribution of their potential foraging areas. These maps will allow visualisation of the spatial occurrence of risk and its severity for both groups. To achieve it, we built a structural equation model of three levels (plankton, fish, and top predators) to predict small-ranged seabirds and marine mammal spatial richness as a proxy of potential feeding sites. Later, we overlapped these maps with global wind density (as a proxy of potential offshore development areas) to identify risk areas. Our results pointed to simplified trophic chain models that effectively explained the richness of small-ranged seabirds and marine mammals. Our risk maps reveal a high overlap with potential offshore wind development. Low-risk areas were located mainly in so-called Global North countries, suggesting vast knowledge gaps and potential hidden risks in these areas. Importantly, the highest risk values were found outside the Marine Protected Areas for both groups, underscoring the necessity for strategic planning and the expansion of renewable energy sources to avert potential conservation challenges in the future.JMPG was supported by a Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities postdoctoral contract (IJC-2019-038968).

Micro-seismicity associated with CO2 geological storage activities in Hontomín, Spain
No full textWe present the first local micro-seismicity catalogue including focal mechanisms for the Hontomín plant, the only site of its kind in Spain and one of the very scarce CO2 storage facilities in Europe. The catalogue reveals a correlation between micro-seismicity occurrence and bottom hole pressure (BHP) at the injection well. A burst of micro-seismicity ranging from -1 to 0.4 ML, thus imperceptible to human senses, took place coeval with the longest duration test of the period studied when the BHP was the highest. Events clustered at ∼ 0.4 km below the well bottom hole. Focal mechanisms could be well resolved for 3 events with similar results, showing a strong strike-slip component and a minor reverse component, with similarly oriented nodal planes. The local stress fields inverted from the focal mechanism solutions exhibit an orientation of the maximum horizontal stress axis (SHmax) that ranges from NE to ESE and differs from the principal stress orientations obtained in previous works for the same area. The micro-seismicity locations and tensors obtained are useful inputs to models aiming to better understand the deformation effects of fluids’ injection underground.This research was funded by the SENSE (Assuring integrity of CO2 storage sites through ground surface monitoring) project no. 299664 through ACT (EC project no. 691712). In this context, the Hontomín case study was subsidized by Agencia Estatal de Investigación (project no. PCI2019-111951-2). Also, the analysis of strain and stress tensor data was partially funded by the project FAMRAD PID2020-113407RB-I00
Desertification baseline: A bottleneck for addressing desertification
No full textThe desertification baseline is the standard to measure the severity of desertification and is imperative to achieve the target of land degradation neutrality of UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3. However, desertification baselines are fragmented because of various modeling approaches and incompatible thresholds of indicators, leading to the evaluation results of desertification shrouded in controversy. In this review, we have examined the current status of the desertification baseline and explored its current problems and potential directions. Potential natural conditions, the theoretical conditions that would occur under existing environmental conditions without active human intervention, can standardize the evaluation of desertification and restoration in drylands to make assessments more compatible across and within regions. The results of our perspective will raise attention to desertification and put forward the establishment of a robust and unified desertification baseline to help achieve land degradation neutrality and conserve the multiple environmental, economic, and social benefits drylands provide.This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [4231101337, 42171042, 42307600].

Carbon derived from orange peel waste for preparation of benign bimetallic catalyst in organic reactions
No full textIn this work, a convenient approach has been applied to discover the potential valorization of biomass waste such as orange peel in which PdCu-based nanostructured systems were synthesized via a one-step in-situ dry-milling approach to obtain the benign bimetallic catalysts with different palladium(Pd) and Copper(Cu) loadings on the orange peel support (Pd1%Cu1%, Pd0.3%Cu0.7%, Pd0.5%Cu0.5%, Pd0.5%Cu1%). Catalytic applications of these new composites were investigated in the Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reaction as well as the Sonogashira–click reaction sequence to the preparation of substituted 4-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles and reduction of nitroaromatics under mild reaction conditions. Catalytic tests with the four activated carbons catalysts showed that the C@Pd1%Cu1% catalyst was the most active in the Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reaction compared to the other catalysts. Also, the [email protected]%Cu0.5% catalyst showed the highest catalytic activity in the reduction of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene and 4-nitrophenol in comparison with other prepared carbon catalysts.The authors are grateful to the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS) Research Council and the University of Alicante.
