La música preexistente en la comedia americana de los años ochenta: "Trading Places" (1983)
2009
En este trabajo se analiza el uso de la música de concierto preexistente en una de las comedias estadounidenses más interesantes de los años ochenta: "Trading Places", dirigida en 1983 por John Landis y titulada en España con el poco afortunado título de "Entre pillos anda el juego". La denominación original "Trading Places" es la que se utiliza en este trabajo puesto que define de forma más precisa la trama de la película y sirve para comprender el origen de la mayoría de la música preexistente. Landis colaboró de forma muy directa con el prestigioso compositor de bandas sonoras Elmer Bernstein, que preparó una partitura basada en música preexistente. Bernstein presenta en el filme tres ti…
Wordarrows: El poder representativo del lenguaje en la obra de no ficción de N. Scott Momaday
2012
This article focuses on two non-fiction works by Native American author N. Scott Momaday: his 1969 historical memoir The Way to Rainy Mountain and his essay collection The Man Made of Words. It specifically tackles performative conceptions of language in the Kiowa storytelling tradition, where words are experienced as speech acts that have the power to intervene in surrounding realities. Taking into account 20th century ethno-cultural and linguistic policies in the United States, the article also reflects on the role indigenous languages may play in contemporary Native American Literature, which has most often been written in English.

High-resolution records of growth temperature and life history of two Nacella limpet species, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
2020
Stable isotope ratios in patelloid limpets of the genus Patella have been established as proxies for coastal environmental change at sub-monthly resolution along the eastern North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. Nacella deaurata (Gmelin, 1791) and N. magellanica (Gmelin, 1791) are common intertidal species of patelloid limpets inhabiting the coast of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina/Chile and are commonly found in Holocene archaeological deposits. Here, we examine oxygen and carbon isotope ratios (δ18Oshell and δ13Cshell, respectively) of modern specimens of N. deaurata and N. magellanica to test the hypotheses that: 1) they form their shells in isotopic equilibrium with ambient water; and 2) pr…

New European Discovery of Splachnum pensylvanicum (Bryophyta, Splachnaceae) in Lithuania, with Taxonomic Notes and a Review of Its World Distribution
2021
Splachnum pensylvanicum (Brid.) Grout ex H.A.Crum is recorded for the first time in Lithuania and it is its fourth discovery at a third locality in Europe. It was found for the first time in 2000 in Kamanos mire, the largest peatland complex in the northern part of this East Baltic country. Targeted investigations at this site in 2017 resulted in the discovery of 14 populations and it is apparently the largest and most abundant locality of the species in Europe. Splachnum pensylvanicum is briefly described and illustrated along with some taxonomic notes and a detailed description of its habitat requirements. The global geographical distribution of S. pensylvanicum is reviewed and mapped. It…

Functional characterization of protein variants of the human multidrug transporter ABCC2 by a novel targeted expression system in fibrosarcoma cells
2012
The multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) is involved in the efflux of endogenous and xenobiotic substrates, including several anticancer and antiviral drugs. The functional consequences of ABCC2 protein variants remain inconsistent, which may be due to shortcomings of the in vitro assays used. To study systematically the functional consequences of nonsynonymous ABCC2 variants, we used a novel “Screen and Insert” (ScIn) technology to achieve stable and highly reproducible expression of 13 ABCC2 variants in HT1080 cells. Western blotting revealed lower (30–65%) ABCC2 expression for D333G, R1174H, and R1181L as compared with wild type (WT; 100%), whereas the linked variant V1…
La construcción ideológica de la Restauración en Nueva España (1814-1816)
2020
La vuelta de Fernando VII en 1814 a la península y el golpe de Estado por el que procedió a anular la Constitución de Cádiz no supusieron, a ambos lados del Atlántico, un retorno a la situación previa a la crisis de 1808. Este trabajo examina dicho problema en el virreinato de la Nueva España desde el ámbito de los discursos para el periodo que transcurre entre 1814 y 1816. Para ello se relacionan tres perspectivas. En primer lugar, se confrontan algunos de los distintos proyectos que se plantearon dentro del absolutismo para efectuar la Restauración. Seguidamente, examinamos aquellos componentes teóricos que los intelectuales de la contrarrevolución utilizaron para legitimarla. Este proyec…
