Overionization in X-ray spectra: a new paradigm for Mixed-Morphology SNRs

2011

Mixed-morphology SNRs are characterized by a shell-like radio emission, a centrally peaked X-ray morphology, and by interaction with molecular clouds. Many models have been proposed to explain these peculiar remnants, but their physical origin is still unclear. The recent discovery of over-ionized (i. e. recombining) ejecta in 3 mixed-morphology SNRs has dramatically challenged all the previous models and opened up new, unexpected scenarios. I review the main properties of these remnants and their peculiar X-ray spectral properties. I also discuss the hydrodynamic model developed to explain the presence of over-ionized ejecta in W49B and present a list of open issues that still need to be c…

The Craft of (Re-)Presenting Musical Works

2021

In this chapter, I explore the encounters between music and participants in learning environments. The encounters I refer to are situations when a teacher or instructor presents music intending to involve participants in responsive activities. The activities can be dialogues about music and meaning, creative music-making or construction of performances, the writing of poems or narratives inspired by the music, creating dances based on the music or singing or playing a selected repertoire. The discussion is primarily related to music listening as a curriculum element in schools and higher music teacher education, and the chapter seeks to analyse strategies and competencies which may be defin…

The Human-Animal Relationship and the Musical Metaphor in The Great Animal Orchestra by Bernie Krause

2018

Taking as case study the discourse of The Great Animal Orchestra, the following paper presents the sociosemiotic analysis carried out on the work by Bernie Krause, focusing especially on the analysis of the CD The Great Animal Orchestra Symphony, of the exposition Le Grand Orchestre des Animaux and of the related Internet sites, which followed his first wider public presentation The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World’s Wild Places. Through the musical metaphor, Krause’s discourse calls again into question the human-animal relationship, reversing the common meanings – this discovered animal culture stands opposite to contemporary human barbarity – and approachi…

Auditory Phenomena and Human Life: Phenomenological Experience

2018

The present study analyzes auditory phenomena from the point of view of hermeneutical phenomenology and shows their interconnectedness with the understanding of man, hearing and listening within the context of human life as the horizon of meaningful sonority and silence. The central questions to be answered in this study are these: What is experienced as sound and sonority? How does a human see himself in inclusion of his being from where he listens, understands, and speaks? The study explores the classical standpoints of Husserl’s phenomenology and other philosophical apprehensions which confirm that auditory phenomena is not to be apprehended solely as an isolated horizon but as being per…

Ecological aspects of plants inhabiting Mediterranean cliffs. Challenges and prospects of life in vertical environments

2021

[ES] Esta tesis investiga las oportunidades, desafíos y limitaciones para la investigación en el campo de la ecología vegetal, en el contexto de los acantilados mediterráneos. En concreto, las especies casmofiticas, cuyos hábitats naturales se caracterizan por su acusada pendiente. Las laderas de las montañas de piedra caliza en la proximidad del mar, en la parte central y occidental del área mediterránea se consideran objetos de estudio. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en los cinturones costeros de montaña de las costas del noroeste de Sicilia y la costa diánica en la Comunidad Valenciana. El primer capítulo, titulado "The complexity of environmental factors: cliff microclimate", investiga…

Cultural adaptation of the Smiling is Fun program for the treatment of depression in the Ecuadorian public health care system: A study protocol for a…

2021

Background Depression is one of the world's major health problems. Due to its high prevalence, it constitutes the first cause of disability among the Americas, where only a very low percentage of the population receives the adequate evidence-based psychological treatment. Internet-Based Interventions (IBIs) are a great alternative to reduce the treatment gap for mental disorders. Although there are several studies in low-and middle-income countries proving IBIs' feasibility and acceptability, there is still little evidence of the effectiveness in diverse social and cultural contexts such as Latin America. Methods Two studies will be described: Study 1 is focused on the cultural adaptation o…

Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e biofilms: no mushrooms but a network of knitted chains.

2008

ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is a food pathogen that can attach on most of the surfaces encountered in the food industry. Biofilms are three-dimensional microbial structures that facilitate the persistence of pathogens on surfaces, their resistance toward antimicrobials, and the final contamination of processed goods. So far, little is known about the structural dynamics of L. monocytogenes biofilm formation and its regulation. The aims of this study were, by combining genetics and time-lapse laser-scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), (i) to characterize the structural dynamics of L. monocytogenes EGD-e sessile growth in two nutritional environments (with or without a nutrient flow), and…

Communication analysis of the nomination proposals for inclusion in Unesco's World Heritage list : a comparative reading of “Ancient Georgian traditi…

2021

We live in a globalized world in which the attractiveness of territories, cultural policy and creativity are important levers for economic and sustainable development. Even a small territory or medium-sized cities can build their image by attracting tourists to increase economic benefits. Among other instruments, the Unesco's list has become increasingly popular. What are the consequences of classifying cities, know-how, traditions such as the world heritage of humanity? What are the differences in the ranking of items from different countries? The term heritage indicates all the objects, historical monuments, landscapes, or traditions of a country. There is the classification of these elem…

Music teaching suggestions for working intercultural in secondary education: the pop music of miscegenation

2014

Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal mostrar cómo la clase de Música de Secundaria puede contribuir al desarrollo social y personal del educando en contextos pluriculturales, al tiempo que permite interiorizar conceptos puramente musicales. En este sentido, se muestran algunas de las actividades que se desarrollaron en diferentes cursos académicos en aulas de Secundaria de la Región de Murcia y de las Islas Baleares, con las que se pretendía garantizar la convivencia del alumnado y el establecimiento de lazos socio-afectivos que les llevasen a una positiva relación intercultural, siempre asegurando también el aprendizaje específico musical. Se consideró que debían revisarse las propu…
