No full textEl transfondo de la búsqueda de Shimamura por la totalidad pérdida en país de nieve de Yasunari Kawabata.
No full textTesis. Licenciatura en Comunicación y Letras. Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades (152 p.).La obra País de nieve del autor Yasunari Kawabata es característica y representativa de la literatura japonesa, ya que en ella se pueden apreciar distintas tradiciones del país nipón. El personaje principal, Shimamura, guía al lector en esta historia mientras busca una totalidad trascendental en medio de una sociedad moderna que se ha fragmentado y ha hundido al ser humano en la soledad. Sin embargo, esta búsqueda tiene como trasfondo la propia búsqueda del autor quien, por su influencia del budismo zen, anhelaba alcanzar la iluminación para llegar a un cosmos espiritual en el que su alma estuviera en el medio de todo. En otras palabras, una totalidad. Esto mismo se puede apreciar en los relatos autobiográficos del libro La bailarina de Izu en donde Kawabata se construye como un personaje que precede a Shimamura y, de alguna forma, define a varios de sus futuros protagonistas. Con el propósito de demostrar el verdadero trasfondo de la búsqueda, tanto de Shimamura como de Kawabata, se usaron distintas teorías, aunque las principales son la teoría literaria de Lukács; el psicoanálisis de Lacan y Freud; la sociología de Simmel y Marcuse; y la sociocrítica de Cros. Asimismo, se incluyeron algunos conceptos culturales e históricos para tener una perspectiva más desligada de lo occidental que permitiera un correcto acercamiento a las obras.

Management of a large lesion of monostotic fibrous dysplasia with possible malignant transformation
No full textA 50-year-old male presented with a large mass involving the left third rib following more than 30 years of a slow growing asymptomatic swelling in the chest wall. Computerised tomography (CT) scan showed a mass 7 × 10 cm expanding the left third rib and having a sclerotic outer margin which showed discontinuity and raising the possibility of malignancy arising in longstanding fibrous dysplasia (FD). Needle biopsy is confirmed fibrous dysplasia. Histological examination of the completely resected lesion confirmed the absence of malignancy. The patient made an uneventiful recovery. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.Yoshio Shimamura, Kazuo Kaneko, Barrie Vernon-Roberts, Yasuo Yazaw
Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow

Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
La 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes
No full textIn June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó
Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
No full textBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature
Overview of the Author Profiling Task at PAN 2013
No full text[EN] This overview presents the framework and results for the Author Profiling
task at PAN 2013. We describe in detail the corpus and its characteristics,
and the evaluation framework we used to measure the participants performance to
solve the problem of identifying age and gender from anonymous texts. Finally,
the approaches of the 21 participants and their results are described.The author profiling task @PAN-2013 was an activity of the WIQ-EI IRSES project (Grant No. 269180) within the FP 7 Marie Curie People Framework of the European Commission. We want to thank the Forensic Lab of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra Barcelona for sponsoring the award for the winner team.
