Compound climate extreme events threaten migratory birds’ conservation in western U.S.

2022

In a warming world, more intense and frequent compound climate extreme events pose serious challenges to biodiversity and conservation on Earth as one of the 2030 United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs): “Life On Land” (SDG 15). In summer 2020, concurrent swelling wildfires and a sudden cold snap in the western U.S. killed a massive number of migratory birds. In August 2020, the hot and humid weather in response to the wildfire radiation and the oceanic evaporation could result in killing heat stress for migratory birds along the coastal shoreline, particularly in California. The heat and smoke of wildfires forced the migratory birds to abandon such feeding grounds towards inla…

An updated insight into the Sialotranscriptome of Triatoma infestans: developmental stage and geographic variations

2014

Background Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in South America. As in all hematophagous arthropods, its saliva contains a complex cocktail that assists blood feeding by preventing platelet aggregation and blood clotting and promoting vasodilation. These salivary components can be immunologically recognized by their vector's hosts and targeted with antibodies that might disrupt blood feeding. These antibodies can be used to detect vector exposure using immunoassays. Antibodies may also contribute to the fast evolution of the salivary cocktail. Methodology Salivary gland cDNA libraries from nymphal and adult T. infestans of breeding colonies originating from different loc…

DIF in the Spanish Version of the Verbal Selective Reminding Test Using Samples From Hispanics in the United States, Mexicans, and Spaniards

2019

Before a test can be used in the target population, it is necessary to demonstrate that there is measurement equivalence. One way to do this is by studying differential item functioning. Objective: In this study, we used the Mantel-Haenszel procedure and logistic regression to analyze DIF in the Spanish version of the Verbal Selective Reminding Test between Spaniards, Mexicans and Hispanics in the United States. Method: Three balanced samples, matched by age, education and sex, were studied: Spaniards, Mexicans and Hispanics (616 healthy participants from Spain (n = 211), Mexico (n = 201) and the United States (n = 205). A six-trial version of the Spanish version of the Verbal Selective Rem…

Romain D. Huret, American Tax Resisters

2014

À l’occasion d’un dîner privé organisé pour financer sa campagne présidentielle de 2012, le candidat du Parti républicain, Mitt Romney, prononça un discours, enregistré à son insu, au cours duquel il expliquait candidement à son auditoire que « 47 % des gens voteront pour le président [Obama] quoi qu’il arrive. Ces 47 % qui le soutiennent sont des assistés. Ils se voient comme des victimes, ils pensent que le gouvernement est responsable de leur bien-être […] Ce sont des gens qui ne sont pas ...

Serial Production, Serial Photography, and the Writing of History in Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance.

2010

Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance, titre d’une photographie qu’August Sander prit en 1914, hante le roman éponyme de Richard Powers. Cette photographie faisait partie d’un projet plus vaste, intitulé « Hommes du vingtième siècle » par Sander qui entendait dresser un inventaire des habitants de sa province natale, le Westerwald. Sander composa ainsi un catalogue de plus de 600 photos d’Allemands de tous types, dont il fit plus tard paraître une partie sous le nom de Visage de notre temps. Dans le roman de Richard Powers, le motif de la série se déploie entre les pôles incarnés par Henry Ford et August Sander, dont les séries de voitures et de photographies deviennent la métaphore du mode…

Una poética de las ruinas. Testimonio y alegoría de Aníbal Quijada

2009

El texto de Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas ejemplifica la doble vinculación de los testimonios del exilio chileno. Por una parte, éstos debieron inscribirse en las estrategias internacionales de denuncia contra la dictadura militar y, por otra, la comunidad cultural latinoamericana hizo de los testimonios un elemento esencial para la redefinición del concepto mismo de lo literario. El testimonio de Quijada desarrolla, en ese contexto, unas estrategias narrativas y de representación que alejan su textura de la mayoría de los testimonios de la época.The text of Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas, is a good example of the double filiation of the testimonies of Chilean exile. In one hand these testimon…

Scribe ergo quæ vidisti et quæ sunt et quæ oportet fieri post hæc

2018

Pasado, presente y futuro se dan cita en el fragmento del Apocalipsis. El pasaje mencionado constituye una invitación a reflexionar sobre el pasado, el presente y el futuro de una persona, de una institución o de una colectividad de cualquier terreno de especialización disciplinar en un momento concreto de su trayectoria en el que se pretende escrutar, valorar las formas cognoscitivas pretéritas y, con ellas, se aspira a redefinir el futuro de la investigación. En esta ocasión me propongo aplicarlo a los estudios relacionados con los testimonios escritos en su pluralidad de manifestaciones medievales.
