La fiesta de moros y cristianos en el mundo: una tradición global y viva
No full text[ES] Este capítulo presenta una visión general sobre el libro La Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos en el Mundo, destacando su enfoque en la expansión global de esta festividad de origen ibérico. A través del estudio de 42 autores, se examinan sus manifestaciones en los cinco continentes, analizando tanto su dimensión histórica como su evolución en el contexto de las culturas locales. La obra busca demostrar que la fiesta, más allá de su origen medieval, ha adquirido nuevas formas y significados en diversas comunidades, trascendiendo el conflicto simbólico entre moros y cristianos para convertirse en una celebración de identidad cultural y cohesión social. Se abordan sus aspectos teatrales, literarios y rituales, así como su impacto en el turismo, la economía y la construcción del patrimonio cultural inmaterial. Finalmente, el capítulo subraya la importancia de la investigación interdisciplinaria para comprender la vitalidad y permanencia de esta tradición en el siglo XXI.Cáceres Valderrama, M. (2025).

JUEGOS DE PALABRAS EN RUIZ DE MOROS
No full textClassical Latin literature had a long tradition of puns, mainly due to the fact that Latin language showed great predisposition towards puns. The Romans themselves were very fond of them, indeed. Likewise, puns stand out as a very important feature in the Latin poetry of Ruiz de Moros, a Renaissance Spanish author, who would make jokes playing with the sounds and meanings of vernacular words as well. There are so many and so different puns in the Ruiz de Moros poetry that one could feel inclined to make a generalization or a typological study of this funny kind of literary "ornatus"
Cultural Factors in Complex Decision Making
No full textComplex decision-making is conceptualised as the process of problem solving in meaningful and important, but complex, dynamic and partially opaque situations. This process is open to a number of cultural influences, among them educational practices, environmental predictability, and power distance. Two empirical studies that explore into the cultural relativity of this type of decision making use interactive computer simulations of complex problems as research instruments. There are a number of behavioural differences between participants from India and Germany which can be explained within a culture-theoretical framework and give reason for the plea to include cultural factors in theories on human decision making
Astronomy in the sacred precint of Sala de los Moros (Argamasilla de Calatrava, Spain)
No full textIsolated at the top of a hill at 900 m with great visibility of the surrounding territory, Sala de Moros is a singular monument in Argamasilla de Calatrava (Ciudad Real, Spain), in northern Pre-Roman Oretania. The main structures consist of a T-shaped chamber covered by blocks of quartzite, which is surrounded by a wall that defined a temenos and it is appreciably different from other nearby structures. This paper presents the results of an archaeoastronomical study that reveals that, besides the implicit symbolism in the election of such an outstanding point in the territory, astronomy may have been integrated in the design of the monument and the development of this outstanding landscape of power. Furthermore, the likely astronomical patterns observed suggest a possible connection between the construction of Sala de Moros with the Iberian aristocracy, while provide a better understanding of the concepts of time in ancient Oretania.Depto. de Prehistoria, Historia Antigua y ArqueologíaFac. de Geografía e HistoriaTRUEpu
Los moros en El Quijote
No full textCervantes wasn't a multiculturalist writer who lived four centuries before this concept existed. His life experience as a soldier in the Lepanto Battle and as a prisioner of berber pirates in Algiers and also the concrete study of all the references he makes in his Masterpiece towards the Moors, reaffirm him as a Catholic and Spanish author, who had a huge compassion towards the Moorish, but who couldn't be able to identify him with their point of view.Cervantes no fue un escritor multiculturalista cuatro siglos antes de que este concepto existiese.

Karalność usiłowania w świetle Decisiones Lituanicae Pedra Ruiz de Moros
No full textA Spanish lawyer Pedro Ruiz de Moros, in Poland known as Rojzjusz, born about 1505 in Alcañiz, after his legal studies in Spain and Italy went to Poland in 1541 and lectured on Roman law at Cracow Academy. In 1551 he moved to Vilnius and became the judge of the royal court of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It was then that his most famous work was written – Decisiones (…) de rebus in sacro auditorio Lituanico ex appellatione iudicatis, a collection of comments on the assessor’ court’s judgments. In the third judgment the author paid his attention to the issue of punishability of an attempt. After presenting arguments for and against punishing attempts, illustrated by the sources of Roman law, the author concluded that attempts to commit only serious crimes should be punished.Hiszpański prawnik Pedro Ruiz de Moros, w Polsce znany jako Rojzjusz, urodzony ok. 1505 r. w Alcañiz, po studiach prawniczych w Hiszpanii i Włoszech w 1541 r. wyjechał do Polski i podjął wykłady prawa rzymskiego w Akademii Krakowskiej. W 1551 r. przeniósł się do Wilna i został sędzią dworu królewskiego Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego. Wtedy też powstało jego najsłynniejsze dzieło – Decisiones (…) de rebus in sacro auditorio Lituanico ex appellatione iudicatis, zbiór komentarzy do orzeczeń sądu asesorskiego. W trzecim orzeczeniu autor zwrócił uwagę na kwestię karalności usiłowania. Po przedstawieniu argumentów za i przeciw karaniu usiłowania, zilustrowanych źródłami prawa rzymskiego, autor doszedł do wniosku, że powinno być karane wyłącznie usiłowanie popełnienia poważnych przestępstw
Decision Making in Individualistic and Collectivistic Cultures
No full textHow do cultural values influence individuals\u27 decision making? One would expect answers to this question either from cognitive psychology or from cross-cultural psychology. Cognitive theories on decision making, however, rarely consider the factor of culture, and research in cross-cultural psychology deals only to a small extent with decision making. Therefore the study of culture and decision making is a relatively new and unexplored field. In this paper normative and descriptive approaches to decision making are discussed and three cross-cultural studies on decision making in individualistic and collectivist cultures using different methodologies are described. The results are integrated into a model that can be helpful to derive specific hypotheses for further studies in this field

Bacteriohopanepolyols record stratification, nitrogen fixation and other biogeochemical perturbations in Holocene sediments of the central Baltic Sea
No full textThe Baltic Sea, one of the world's largest brackish-marine basins, established after deglaciation of Scandinavia about 17 000 to 15 000 yr ago. In the changeable history of the Baltic Sea, the initial freshwater system was connected to the North Sea about 8000 yr ago and the modern brackish-marine setting (Littorina Sea) was established. Today, a relatively stable stratification has developed in the water column of the deep basins due to salinity differences. Stratification is only occasionally interrupted by mixing events, and it controls nutrient availability and growth of specifically adapted microorganisms and algae. We studied bacteriohopanepolyols (BHPs), lipids of specific bacterial groups, in a sediment core from the central Baltic Sea (Gotland Deep) and found considerable differences between the distinct stages of the Baltic Sea's history. Some individual BHP structures indicate contributions from as yet unknown redoxcline-specific bacteria (bacteriohopanetetrol isomer), methanotrophic bacteria (35-aminobacteriohopanetetrol), cyanobacteria (bacteriohopanetetrol cyclitol ether isomer) and from soil bacteria (adenosylhopane) through allochthonous input after the Littorina transgression, whereas the origin of other BHPs in the core has still to be identified. Notably high BHP abundances were observed in the deposits of the brackish-marine Littorina phase, particularly in laminated sediment layers. Because these sediments record periods of stable water column stratification, bacteria specifically adapted to these conditions may account for the high portions of BHPs. An additional and/or accompanying source may be nitrogen-fixing (cyano)bacteria, which is indicated by a positive correlation of BHP abundances with Corg and δ15N
