LATIN AMERICA AND ABYA YALA IN TEACHING SPANISH HISTORY: THE "DISCOVERY", THE CONQUEST AND CONTROVERSIES OF THE BLACK LEGEND

2019

RESUMO O trabalho explicita as representações contemporâneas da História da América no ensino de História na Espanha. Explicita e problematiza as configurações textuais e iconográficas que pretendem ensinar uma história do “descobrimento”, da conquista e da colonização da América. Usou-se a metodologia da pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo, com técnica de fichamento e observações analíticas de obras historiográficas contemporâneas, livros didáticos e lugares de memória (museus e monumentos históricos). Em relação aos manuais didáticos, foram selecionados e analisados 18 livros de ensino de História editados por seis editoras no período de 2000 a 2015. Analisou-se a história do “descobrimento…

From Graz to Göttingen: Neugebauer’s Early Intellectual Journey

2016

Otto Neugebauer’s early academic career was marked by a series of transitions. His interests shifted from physics to mathematics, and finally to the history of ancient mathematics and exact sciences. Yet even from his early years in Graz, Neugebauer was strongly attracted to the mathematical culture of Gottingen. When he arrived there in 1922, he quickly established a strong personal friendship with Richard Courant, the newly appointed Director of the Mathematics Institute. Neugebauer and Courant worked together closely up until 1933, when the Nazi government decimated the Gottingen scientific community. In this essay, Neugebauer’s historical work and his vision for a new approach to the st…

Nano-magnetic potassium impregnated ceria as catalyst for the biodiesel production

2019

Abstract The main objective of this work comprises the investigation of biodiesel production from rapeseed oil using potassium impregnated Fe3O4-CeO2 nanocatalyst. The various concentration of potassium impregnated Fe3O4-CeO2 was screened for catalytic conversion of rapeseed oil to triglyceride methyl ester. The 25 wt % potassium impregnated Fe3O4-CeO2 nanocatalyst showed best biodiesel production. Nanocatalyst was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and Hammett indicator for basicity test. The characterization of biodiesel was performed with GC-MS, 1H and 13C NMR. Moreover, the optimum reaction parameters such as catalyst amount (wt %), oil to methanol ratio, reaction time and reacti…

Ab urbe condita. Desde a fundaçao da cidade de Bracara Augusta

2005

Neste estudo aborda-se a problemática da fundação da antiga cidade romana de Bracara Augusta, levando em consideração o registo arqueológico e sua problemática e significado. À parte da fundação ex novo da cidade ou da preexistência de populações autóctones no local, apresentam-se fortes vestígios indicadores da importância do culto imperial e dinástico que pensamos fortemente associados ao acto simbólico da sua fundação ou "refundação" segundo uma cerimónia semelhante à da "Roma Quadrada" augústea. In this study we approach the issue of the foundation of the old Roman city of Bracara Augusta taking into consideration the archaeological register and its theme and meaning. Apart from the ex …

The Separating Role of Collateral Requirements in Credit Markets with Asymmetric Information

2001

In this paper we test Bester's (1985, 1987) prediction about the separating role of contracts that involve both interest rates and collateral requirements in credit markets. To test this prediction we use data from natural credit markets and controlled experiments. Using a sample of credits to small and medium size firms in Valencia, Spain, we relate two different types of contracts with the ex post risk type of the borrower and other relevant variables. We then design two incentive compatible contracts and analyze decisions under two different experimental treatments, one with moral hazard. Our empirical results confirm that borrowers of ex post lower risk choose contracts with higher coll…

Rural–urban differences in the long-term risk of colorectal cancer after adenoma removal: A population-based study

2013

Abstract Background We investigated the impact of municipality of residence on colonoscopic surveillance and colorectal cancer risk after adenoma resection in a French well-defined administrative area. Methods This registry-based study included all patients residing in Cote d’Or (n = 5769) first diagnosed with colorectal adenomas between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 1999. Information about colonoscopic surveillance and colorectal cancer incidence was collected until December 31, 2003. Results A rural place of residence reduced the probability of colonoscopic surveillance in men [HR = 0.89 (95%CI: 0.79–0.99), p = 0.041] and in patients without family history of colorectal cancer [HR = 0…

Canova divulgato tra «Können» e «Wollen» nell’opera di Alfred Gotthold Meyer

2014

This article is a critical introduction to the Italian translation of Meyer's Canova monograph (1898), it focuses on the editorial process and on the use of photography during this early stage of popular art history. Further consideration is given to Meyer's critical point of view in the context of the German fin-de-siècle art discourse (Burckhardt, Springer, Bode, Wölfflin, Hildebrand).

Socio-demographic characteristics are related to the advanced clinical stage of oral cancer

2019

Background Social determinants may be associated with the onset and progression of the clinical stage of oral cancer. Aim: To evaluate the impact of socio-demographic characteristics on the prevalence of advanced clinical stage of oral cancer. Material and Methods Information about 51,116 cases of oral cancer, from all Brazilian states, between 2000 and 2012, was obtained from the Cancer Registry Information System. The clinical stage of oral cancer (dependent variable) was classified as initial (stages I and II) or advanced (stages III and IV). The relationship between the clinical stage of oral cancer and the following independent variables was analyzed: sex, age, schooling, marital statu…

Schizoaffective disorder and affective disorders with mood-incongruent psychotic features: keep separate or combine? Evidence from a family study.

1992

Objective This study investigated whether the distinction between schizoaffective disorder and affective disorders with mood-incongruent psychotic features as described in DSM-III-R is reflected by aggregation of schizophrenia in the families of probands with the former disorder and aggregation of affective disorders mainly among the relatives of probands with the latter type of disorders. Method The probands were 118 inpatients with definite lifetime diagnoses of DSM-III-R schizoaffective disorder or a major mood disorder with incongruent psychotic features according to structured clinical interviews. Diagnostic information on 475 of the probands' first-degree relatives was gathered throug…
