Insilio, traducción y (auto)censura: el caso Mercedes Rein
No full textThis article explores the relationship between translation practices and the publishing field regarding the mechanisms of cultural censorship imposed during the Uruguayan civil-military dictatorship (1973-1985). From previous work by Berman (1989), Pym (1990), Chesterman (2006) and Munday (2013; 2014) we propose a microhistorical approach that analyses the intellectual trajectory of writer, translator and playwright Mercedes Rein (1930-2006) before and during the insilio [the equivalent of the exile for those who did not have to emigrate]. Through this temporal framework, we will compare the particularities of the translator’s agency and the published corpus (both as translator and as author) during these two periods, highlighting the effects of official censorship and self-censorship on the visibility and the concealment of her authorial identity. Furthermore, it is important to recover the subsistence function that literary translation took on in this context and the cooperation that Rein established with exiled agents in foreign markets. Based on these considerations, the article proposes to enhance and supplement the historiographical discourse that questions the idea of “cultural blackout” (based on evidence from different fields and disciplines), with inputs from the field of translation and the Uruguayan publishing field.Este artículo propone explorar la relación de las prácticas traductoras y el campo editorial con los mecanismos de censura cultural impuestos durante la dictadura cívico-militar uruguaya (1973-1985). A partir de los antecedentes creados por Berman (1989), Pym (1990), Chesterman (2006) y Munday (2013; 2014) proponemos un enfoque microhistórico que tiene como objeto de análisis la trayectoria intelectual de la escritora, traductora y dramaturga Mercedes Rein (1930-2006) antes y durante el insilio. A través de esta delimitación temporal, compararemos las particularidades de la agencia traductora y el corpus publicado (traducido y de autoría directa) durante esos dos períodos, haciendo énfasis en los efectos de la censura oficial y la autocensura en la visibilidad y el ocultamiento de su identidad autoral. Nos importa recuperar, asimismo, la función de la subsistencia que adquiere la traducción literaria en ese contexto y la cooperación de los agentes exiliados en mercados externos. Sobre la base de estas consideraciones, el artículo propone enriquecer y complementar con elementos del campo de la traducción y el campo editorial uruguayo el discurso historiográfico que cuestiona la idea de “apagón cultural”
Time-Dependent Rescalings and Lyapunov Functionals for the Vlasov–poisson and Euler–poisson Systems, and for Related Models of Kinetic Equations, Fluid Dynamics and Quantum Physics
No full textWe apply the method of time-dependent rescalings which has been developed by G. Rein and the author to a model kinetic equation, to the Euler equations for a perfect polytropic gas and to a model with friction and heat transfer. We build Lyapunov functionals which are in the case of the fluid models improved versions of the estimates which have been found by J.-Y. Chemin and D. Serre (see [2], [14]). 1 Introduction In this paper, we present on some new examples a method which has been developed by the author and G. Rein (see [7]) to build Lyapunov functionals and to study dispersion effects in kinetic theory and related models. The main idea is to make a time-dependent rescaling of the system which preserves the structure of the equation but adds a confining harmonic force which transforms asymptotically self-similar solutions of the initial problem into asymptotically stationary solutions of the rescaled problem, even if selfsimilar solutions are not well defined, for at least the co..

The blind spots of secularization
Full text linkAccording to several international surveys Spain is among the western countries with the most negative views of Jews. While quantitative data on the topic accumulates, there is a significant lack of interpretative approaches that might explain the particular Spanish case. This paper presents the background, methodology and major results of a discussion group-based study on antisemitism, which was conducted in Spain in the autumn of 2009. The study identifies and locates in different socio-economic and ideological milieus the range of stereotypical discourses on Jews, Judaism and the Arab–Israeli conflict in Spain. Analysis of the group meetings shows that, despite growing secularization in Spanish society, the central explanatory variable for persisting and resurging antisemitism in this country is still religion in a broad cultural sense.N
The influence of vertical loading on the lateral behaviour of rigid monopile foundation in clay soil: An analysis using 3D Finite Element Modeling
No full textMonopiles with large diameter (larger than 6 m) and low aspect ratio (less than 6) are increasingly used in offshore wind farms. These foundations demonstrate a rigid response under lateral loading. The validity of the existing design methods, that are based on small diameter flexible piles, has been questioned by both the industry and researchers. In addition, the monopiles are subjected to both lateral and vertical loads. The influence of vertical load on the lateral design of short rigid monopiles in clay soil is not clear. This study aims to perform a comprehensive study on the influence of vertical load on the lateral response of monopile foundations in clay soil. All analysis in this study was performed using 3D finite element modeling in PLAXIS 3D software. The NGI-ADP constitutive model was adopted to simulate the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of clay. Considered in the analysis is a short rigid pile with a diameter of 10 m (L/D = 3) and a long flexible pile with a diameter of 2 m (L/D = 15). The analyzed clay soil profiles consist of a normally consolidated clay soil and an overconsolidated clay soil with a constant undrained shear strength profile equal to 30 kPa. For each pile in each type of clay soil, a pure lateral loading scenario is performed first to assess the validity of current design methods. Subsequently, a combined loading scenario is performed to assess the influence of vertical loading on the lateral behaviour of rigid monopile in clay soil.Results of the pure lateral loading scenario suggest that current design methods heavily underestimate the lateral capacity of rigid monopile foundations in both clay soil profiles analyzed. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that current design methods are not fit to provide an accurate assessment regarding the lateral load response of rigid monopile in clay soil. In order to correctly assess the lateral load response of rigid monopile in clay soil, a method consisting of a 3D finite element model akin to the model used in the research or a PISA design model is advised. A potential third design method, the 1D rotational spring model, is also proposed. Results of the combined loading scenario suggest that the presence of vertical loading causes a decrease in lateral and moment capacity of the rigid pile in both clay soil profiles analyzed. However, the influence is negligible when the vertical load magnitude is smaller than 50% of its bearing capacity. To quantify the influence of vertical load on a monopile foundation, a series of load analysis were performed on a real offshore wind turbine with a 5MW power capacity. It was found that the vertical load on a typical monopile foundation in clay is around 27% of its bearing capacity. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the influence of vertical load on the lateral response of rigid monopiles in clay soil is limited and can be ignored in foundation design.Applied Earth SciencesGeo-Engineerin
Más allá del crisol de razas: los judíos argentinos, el peronismo y la lucha por un hogar multicultural
No full textAcknowledging the surge of Peronism as a critical turning point in Argentina’s modern history –which has had a lasting impact on the contemporary society--, this study is focused on a very specific analytical perspective: the peculiarities of the process of insertion of different ethnic groups and their Argentina-born descendants during the first Peronism. The author describes changes in political representation and the various dimensions of the participative democratization process that the Peronist Argentina went through, and he later examines the Peronist efforts to mobilizing support within the Jewish-Argentinian population. Assuming that instead of promoting a traditional melting pot, the regime gave an increasing legitimacy and an unprecedented acknowledgment to multiple identities, this article asserts that before the rise of Peronism, Jewish were not always considered as part of the Argentinian polis, civitas or demos. Finally, the concept of citizenship is used as focal point and analytic framework to understand the change in the relationship among Argentinian-Jewish, the institutions, and the symbols of the Argentinian state.Reconociendo el surgimiento del peronismo como punto de inflexión crítico en la historia moderna de Argentina cuyo impacto en la sociedad contemporánea es duradero el presente estudio centra su atención en una perspectiva analítica muy específica: las particularidades del proceso de inclusión de diferentes grupos étnicos de inmigrantes y sus descendientes nacidos en Argentina durante el primer peronismo. Luego de presentar los cambios experimentados en la representación política y las diferentes dimensiones del proceso de democratización participativa vividos en la Argentina peronista, el artículo examina los esfuerzos del peronismo por movilizar apoyo entre la población argentina-judía. Bajo el supuesto de que en lugar de fomentar el crisol de razas tradicional el régimen otorgó una creciente legitimidad y un reconocimiento sin precedentes a las identidades múltiples, se sostiene que antes del surgimiento del peronismo no siempre se consideró a los judíos parte de la polis, civitas, o demos argentinas. Finalmente, se utiliza el concepto de ciudadanía como lente y marco analítico para comprender la transformación de la relación entre los argentinos-judíos, las instituciones y los símbolos del Estado argentino
Non-linear stability of gaseous stars
No full textWe construct steady states of the Euler-Poisson system with a barotropic equation of state as minimizers of a suitably defined energy functional. Their minimizing property implies the non-linear stability of such states against general, i.e., not necessarily spherically symmetric perturbations. The mathematical approach is based on previous stability results for the Vlasov-Poisson system by Y. Guo and the author, exploiting the energy-Casimir technique. The analysis is conditional in the sense that it assumes the existence of solutions to the initial value problem for the Euler-Poisson system which preserve mass and energy. The relation between the Euler-Poisson and the Vlasov-Poisson system in this context is also explored
Cincuenta años después de la segunda edición de la Reine Rechtslehre: sobre el trasfondo de la teoría pura del Derecho y sobre lo que queda de ella
No full textThis text deals with two issues related to Kelsen’s theory of law: firstly, with the background which explains the core features of that theory and secondly, with what is still alive and what should be considered dead in Kelsen’s construction. According to the author, the most important elements in the background of Kelsen’s theory are a roughly Hobbesian justification of law and the thesis of the impossibility of practical reason. The author also holds that most of the specific kelsenian theses should now be regarded as dead. This does not preclude the granting of a great historical importance to Kelsen’s contribution and the understanding that his ambition to articulate discourse on the law on the basis of a theory worthy of the name should be regarded as completely valid today.Este texto se ocupa de dos cuestiones relacionadas con la teoría kelseniana del Derecho: en primer lugar, del trasfondo que explica los rasgos centrales de esa misma teoría; en segundo lugar, de lo que sigue vivo y lo que debe considerarse muerto en la construcción de Kelsen. A juicio del autor, los elementos más relevantes del trasfondo de la teoría kelseniana son una justificación grosso modo hobbesiana del Derecho, por un lado, y la tesis de la imposibilidad de la razón práctica, por otro. También a juicio del autor, la mayor parte de las articulaciones concretas de la teoría kelseniana deben considerarse hoy como muertas. Lo que no impide conceder la máxima importancia histórica a la aportación de Kelsen y entender que su ambición de articular el discurso sobre el Derecho sobre la base de una teoría que merezca tal nombre debe considerarse como completamente actual

The Impact of Antiretroviral Therapy on Mortality in HIV Positive People during Tuberculosis Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Full text linkObjective: To quantify the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on mortality in HIV-positive people during tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Design: We conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Studies published from 1996 through February 15, 2013, were identified by searching electronic resources (Pubmed and Embase) and conference books, manual searches of references, and expert consultation. Pooled estimates for the outcome of interest were acquired using random effects meta-analysis. Subjects The study population included individuals receiving ART before or during TB treatment. Main Outcome Measures: Main outcome measures were: (i) TB-case fatality ratio (CFR), defined as the proportion of individuals dying during TB treatment and, if mortality in HIV-positive people not on ART was also reported, (ii) the relative risk of death during TB treatment by ART status. Results: Twenty-one studies were included in the systematic review. Random effects pooled meta-analysis estimated the CFR between 8% and 14% (pooled estimate 11%). Among HIV-positive TB cases, those receiving ART had a reduction in mortality during TB treatment of between 44% and 71% (RR = 0.42, 95%CI: 0.29–0.56). Conclusion: Starting ART before or during TB therapy reduces the risk of death during TB treatment by around three-fifths in clinical settings. National programmes should continue to expand coverage of ART for HIV positive in order to control the dual epidemic.Version of Recor
