Silêncio (o metro como elemento construtivo do vazio na poesia de Orides Fontela)
No full textResumo: O artigo propõe uma análise dos cinco livros de poesia lírica publicados por Orides Fontela, Transposição (1969), Helianto (1973), Alba (1983), Rosácea (1986) e Teia (1996), a partir da metrificação do volume Poesia reunida [1969-1996]. O objetivo é compreender alguns modos de o metro participar da elaboração de uma estética silenciosa. Desse modo, os resultados apresentam recursos estéticos empregados pela autora, tais como a predominância de versos curtos; os versos quebrados; a logodaedalia; as estrofes com metro em queda; o espaço em branco enquanto metro vazio. Assim, o texto conclui que a métrica de Orides Fontela caminha para uma dessonorização, expressando a noção ampla de vazio, um dos pontos fundamentais da lírica oridiana.Palavras-chave: ritmo; poesia lírica; século XX.Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of the following five books of lyric poetry published by Orides Fontela: Transposição (1969), Helianto (1973), Alba (1983), Rosácea (1986) and Teia (1996), by means of the Poesia reunida [1969-1996] metrification. The article aims to understand some ways in which the metric participates in the elaboration of silent aesthetics. In this regard, the results shed light on the aesthetic resources employed by the author, such as the predominance of short verses; the broken verses; the logodaedalia; the stanzas with falling metric; and the blank space as empty metric. Finally, the text concludes that Orides Fontela’s metric leads towards a sound loss, expressing the broad notion of emptiness that constitutes one of the fundamental points of the author’s lyric poetry.Keywords: rhythm; lyric poetry; twentieth century
Anthropogenic CO2 and ocean acidification in Argentine Basin Water Masses over almost five decades of observations
No full text9 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables.-- Under a Creative Commons licenseThe chemical conditions of the Argentine Basin (western South Atlantic Ocean) water masses are evaluated with measurements from eleven hydrographic cruises to detect and quantify anthropogenic and natural stressors in the ocean carbon system. The database covers almost half-century (1972–2019), a time-span where the mean annual atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (CO2atm) increased from 325 to 408 ppm of volume (ppm). This increase of atmospheric CO2 (83 ppm, the 64% of the total anthropogenic signal in the atmosphere) leads to an increase in anthropogenic carbon (Cant) across all the water column and the consequent ocean acidification: a decrease in excess carbonate that is unequivocal in the upper (South Atlantic Central Water, SACW) and intermediate water masses (Sub Antarctic Mode Water, SAMW and Antarctic Intermediate Water, AAIW). For each additional ppm in CO2atm the water masses SACW, SAMW and AAIW lose excess carbonate at a rate of 0.39 ± 0.04, 0.47 ± 0.05 and 0.23 ± 0.03 μmol·kg−1·ppm−1 respectively. Modal and intermediate water masses in the Argentine Basin are very sensitive to carbon increases due low buffering capacity. The large rate of AAIW acidification is the synergic effect of carbon uptake combined with deoxygenation and increased remineralization of organic matter. If CO2 emissions follows the path of business-as-usual emissions (SSP 5.85), SACW would become undersaturated with respect to aragonite at the end of the century. The undersaturation in AAIW is virtually unavoidableFor this work M.

De la Econometría a la Economía social de Mercado: El legado de Emilio Fontela
No full textLa obra de Emilio Fontela, posiblemente el “economista español más conocido en el extranjero”, es muy extensa y amplia en la variedad de temas estudiados y analizados y de enfoques empleados en el ámbito de la Economía Aplicada. Entre sus más de 250 libros y artículos, referidos a cuestiones tan diversas como el desarrollo sostenible y la globalización, las posibilidades de la nanotecnología, nueva economía, fuentes de energía…, sus principales contribuciones científicas se han desarrollado en la investigación en el campo de la modelización econométrica y el análisis input-ouput y sistemas de contabilidad nacional. En estas materias el profesor Fontela desarrolló una ingente labor teórica y aplicada, contribuyendo al avance y perfeccionamiento de la investigación cuantitativa en economía, y colaboró estrechamente con economistas de la talla de los premios Nobel Wassily Leontief y Richard Stone, no al alcance de cualquier persona. Predicción y prospectiva fueron también dos ámbitos en los que el profesor Fontela presentaba un auténtico dominio. Precisamente este es un elemento diferenciador de la figura del profesor Fontela, siempre interesado por el futuro, algo que contrasta con el tópico del economista más orientado a explicar el pasado como justificación del presente que a explorar el futur
Leontief and the Future of the World Economy
No full textAlong this document we have revised the experiences with world models and its performance to develop alternative forecast scenarios. Particularly, we have described with some details the Leontief’s world model, developed in 1979 and the main scenarios derived from that model. Finally, we propose a tentative research agenda with the aim of improve that successful experience with the aid of the most recent statistical developments.Forecast, World Economy;Input-Output Models

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
