Semantic Macro-Structural Analysis of the Latin American Digital Press Discourse on the Attacks of September 11th
2006
Este artículo analiza la exclusión e inclusión de acontecimientos y actores sociales en la representación de los sucesos del 11 de septiembre en Nueva York en la prensa digital latinoamericana. Se utiliza el análisis crítico del discurso siguiendo los principios establecidos por Van Dijk (1990, 1997, 1998). La muestra está conformada por 509 noticias seleccionadas de la cobertura noticiosa de diecisiete periódicos digitales latinoamericanos, desde el 12 hasta el 16 de septiembre. Entre los resultados destacan: a) los contenidos de los periódicos examinados reproducen el discurso de las agencias de noticias estadounidenses; b) Los tópicos reflejan un discurso sin referencia al pasado, sin re…

Las Americas Latinas – Las fatigas del querer
2009
L’arte contemporanea latinoamericana è una delle più interessanti realtà del panorama artistico internazionale: la difficile situazione politico-economica del Continente Sud-americano ha generato pulsioni e passioni artistiche estremamente dense. Per lo più si tratta di un’arte politica, di ribellione e di rivoluzione. Un’arte forte, come ancora rimane forte in America Latina la memoria della conquista e dell’evangelizzazione europea, e violenta come violente furono le sanguinarie usanze dei popoli indigeni precolombiani. Un’arte contemporanea tendenzialmente barocca, figlia di una mentalità complessa e di una cultura di osmosi: quella tra le tradizioni indigene e quelle occidentalieuropee.…
De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe
2021
Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …
A Cross-Cultural Exploratory Study of Health Behaviors and Wellbeing During COVID-19
2021
This study explored the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived health behaviors; physical activity, sleep, and diet behaviors, alongside associations with wellbeing. Participants were 1,140 individuals residing in the United Kingdom (n = 230), South Korea (n = 204), Finland (n = 171), Philippines (n = 132), Latin America (n = 124), Spain (n = 112), North America (n = 87), and Italy (n = 80). They completed an online survey reporting possible changes in the targeted behaviors as well as perceived changes in their physical and mental health. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) on the final sample (n = 1,131) revealed significant mean differences regarding perceived physical…
Bioetyki kulturowe w Ameryce Łacińskiej
2017
W artykule została przedstawiona charakterystyka bioetyki łacińskiej, jej korzenie i geneza, rozwój w poszczególnych, wybranych krajach, a także typowa problematyka. Bioetyka łacińska u swych początków jako dyscyplina akademicka czerpała głównie ze Stanów Zjednoczonych. Niewspółmierność problematyki paradygmatów bioetyki zachodniej do realiów krajów łacińskich doprowadziła do przewartościowania i prób wypracowania własnej, swoistej, bardziej adekwatnej bioetyki kulturowej.
The musculature of the electric fish Eigenmannia virescens (South American green knife fish) characterized with cytochrome oxidase staining
1986
Using cytochrome C-oxidase staining, different types of somatic musculature were clearly distinguished in the gymnotoid fish Eigenmannia virescens. Except for a few thin fibres in the region of the horizontal septum, which stained faintly, no others in the trunk muscle stained. Strong staining appeared in the fibres of the anal fin muscles. According to the classification of fish musculature into white, intermediate and red, only the locomotory organ of this fish has red fibres, whereas the trunk muscles are white. The red muscles along the horizontal septum, found in all other fish which have been investigated in this respect, seem to be absent. This is noteworthy since the anal fin alone …

Do Firms Share the Same Functional Form of Their Growth Rate Distribution? A New Statistical Test
2011
We propose a hypothesis testing procedure to investigate whether the same growth rate distribution is shared by all the firms in a balanced panel or, more generally, whether they share the same functional form for this distribution, without necessarily sharing the same parameters. We apply the test to panels of US and European Union publicly quoted manufacturing firms, both at the sectoral and at the subsectoral NAICS levels. We consider the following null hypotheses about the growth rate distribution of the individual firms: i) an unknown shape common to all firms, with all the firms sharing also the same parameters, or with the firm variance related to its firm size through a scaling rela…
