Minerva y la reformulación de la masculinidad en "Cristalián de España" de Beatriz Bernal
2010
La literatura artúrica exhibe, por lo general, no sólo una visión patriarcal de las relaciones sociales, políticas y amorosas sino también una perspectiva masculinista de los personajes. Esta representación narrativa resalta el poder, protagonismo y virilidad de los héroes masculinos y, en contrapartida, la fragilidad y pasividad de los personajes femeninos. Este convencional patrón narrativo, no obstante, es reinventado y reformulado en el libro de caballerías Historia de los invictos y magnánimos caballeros don Cristalián de España, Príncipe de Trapisonda, y del Infante Lucescanio su hermano, hijos del famosísimo Emperador Lindedel de Trapisonda, compuesto en castellano por la autora Beat…
Embodied Metre in Spontaneous Movement to Music
2009
Listening to music is often associated with spontaneous body movements, frequently synchronized with its periodic structure. The notion of embodied cognition assumes that intelligent behavior does not emerge from mere passive perception, but requires goal-directed interactions between the organism and its environment. According to this view, one could postulate that we use our bodily movements to help parse the metric structure of music. The aim of the study was to investigate how pulsations on different metrical levels are manifested in spontaneous movement to music. Participants were presented with a piece of instrumental music in 4/4 time, played in five different tempi ranging from 92 B…
«Viva el señor San Antonio, pues que tanto nos ampara»: los santos y su representación en la literatura popular de los siglos XVIII y XIX
2016
En la Edad Moderna la religión impregnaba la vida cotidiana, y los santos eran personajes comunes a los que recurrir en caso de necesidad. Las hagiografías, desde el ámbito oficial, difundían la fama de estas figuras, pero también había una notable circulación oral y escrita de literatura popular religiosa (sobre todo pliegos de cordel y gozos) que los daba a conocer en todos los ámbitos sociales. Primero, esbozaremos las características generales de la santidad en la literatura popular valenciana del XVIII, y después nos centraremos en el caso de la Beata Inés de Benigànim, de devoción local y prolongada en el tiempo (siglos XVII a XX). A través de estos textos podremos comprender la conce…
Precision Measurement of the Mass and Lifetime of the Xi(-)(b) Baryon
2016
We report on measurements of the mass and lifetime of the Ξ[- over b] baryon using about 1800 Ξ[- over b] decays reconstructed in a proton-proton collision data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb[superscript -1] collected by the LHCb experiment. The decays are reconstructed in the Ξ[- over b] → Ξ[0 over c]π[superscript -], Ξ[0 over c] → pK[superscript -]K[superscript -]π[superscript +] channel and the mass and lifetime are measured using the Λ[0 over b] → Λ[+ over c]π[superscript -] mode as a reference. We measure M(Ξ[- over b] - M(Λ[0 over b]) = 178.36 ± 0.46 ± 0.16 MeV/c[superscript 2], (τ[subscript Ξ[- over b]/τ[subscript Λ[0 over b]) = 1.089 ± 0.026 ± 0.011, where…
Review of immediate cardiac response in intertidal gastropods limpets at varying temperature, salinity and air exposure
2009
In 1990 Depledge and Andresen developed a #eld/laboratory, non-invasive technique to monitor the immediate response of cardiac activity in bivalves. Since then, several researchers have experienced and tested the variability of heart beat rate (HBR)and of associated metabolic rates under di$erent conditions in intertidal molluscs. Review of HBR immediate response in acute exposure and acclimation to changes of salinity, thermal stressors and air exposure were examined to test di$erent hypothesis. In intertidal Mediterranean and tropical limpets, the decrease in metabolic rate with a decrease in salinity was di$erent in animals experiencing di$erent degrees of salinity !uctuation in their re…
Heart beat rate: a physiological response to thermal stress in blue mussels species.
2009
Non-native species often have ecological impacts on invaded communities. The quanti#cation of features of invaders and recipient ecosystems facilitating and/or interfering with successful invasion remains a challenge because of several factors may in!uence the success of invasions. Among them, life history strategies (e.g., reproductive potential, body size), ability to avoid predators, disease resistance and physiological compensatory mechanisms to adapt to changing habitats are among the most important factors. The latter has been often invoked as the key to success for many intertidal invasive invertebrates and have been suggested as key indicators of invasibility rate and the ultimate d…
The Test–Retest Repeatability of a Rhythm Coordination Test Procedure in 4- to 6-Year-Old Children : A Pilot Study
2020
Moving to music combines the ability of rhythm and coordination. In relation to the musical and motor development of children, sensorimotor synchronization requires the ability to perceive and perform a steady beat. The present pilot study aimed to investigate the test–retest repeatability of a rhythm coordination test procedure in order to pilot the procedure for children. Test–retest repeatability reflects the variation in measurements taken by the rhythm coordination test on the same participant under the same conditions. Ten children (mean age 5.5 years, standard deviation (SD) 0.6) participated in the tests. The test performance was evaluated in points from 0 to 8, separately at a slow…
Electrocardiographic Imaging Using a Spatio-Temporal Basis of Body Surface Potentials—Application to Atrial Ectopic Activity
2018
Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) strongly relies on a priori assumptions and additional information to overcome ill-posedness. The major challenge of obtaining good reconstructions consists in finding ways to add information that effectively restricts the solution space without violating properties of the sought solution. In this work, we attempt to address this problem by constructing a spatio-temporal basis of body surface potentials (BSP) from simulations of many focal excitations. Measured BSPs are projected onto this basis and reconstructions are expressed as linear combinations of corresponding transmembrane voltage (TMV) basis vectors. The novel method was applied to simulations o…
