Du verbe instrumental dans la musique subsaharienne
2021
Sub-Saharan music results from the spoken language/instrumental language relation, directed by an oral culture. In this culture, these languages transmit ? beyond their singularities ? messages thanks to either a coded signal known by the linguistic community or previously defined among a group of individuals, or is used as a true meta-language copied on the articulated and usual language used every day. Here, an instrumental musical speech can then imitate and reproduce the tonal inflexions of the language to make its matter understandable. This fact is the natural result of a strong interaction and interrelation between the spoken language and the music as well as the conception that the …
Épica en el arte: el caso de la canción de autor
2017
Existe el concepto de épica que todo el mundo conoce más o menos: las hazañas heroicas de una persona individual. Pero debajo de él subyacen otras concepciones, como es la lucha cotidiana de héroes anónimos que se enfrentan cada día a su existencia, y que en cuanto dichas luchas tienen rasgos comunes entre personas parecidas, se convierte en una epopeya; también es concebible como la lucha histórica de un grupo marinado por el reconocimiento de sus derechos y su supervivencia. El arte se ha ocupado de estas otras nociones, especialmentea partir del siglo XIX, con el surgimiento de lo social en él, tratando de dotar a esas personas de dignidad histórica. En estas páginas, examinaremos el cas…
The status of the individual in the International Law

In this paper, I discuss about the Status of the individual in the Public International Law.
Efficacy of augmented reality versus conventional physical therapy for the improvement of balance, gait, upper-limb and dual task in people with mult…

Introducción: La Esclerosis Múltiple (EM)es un trastorno progresivo multifocal del sistema nervioso central, que a menudo resulta en diversas manifestaciones clínicas. Las personas con Esclerosis Múltiple (pcEM) a menudo sufren diferentes trastornos motores en el equilibrio, la marcha y las extremidades superiores, incluso mientras realizan alguna actividad de la vida diaria, lo que también afecta la doble tarea. La realidad aumentada (RA) se está convirtiendo en una herramienta de entrenamiento popular para la recuperación funcional en fisioterapia. Por tanto, el objetivo era demostrar la eficacia de la RA para el equilibrio, la marcha, los miembros superiores y la tarea dual, como una her…
Nuevas herramientas para promover la reutilización del agua regenerada: Un enfoque basado en la Economía Circular y el Pago por los Servicios Ambient…
2022
Las Estaciones Depuradoras de Aguas Residuales (EDARs) son una infraestructura necesaria dentro del ciclo del agua y de la gestión de los recursos hídricos, asegurando la correcta gestión de las aguas residuales, así como su vuelta al ecosistema. Comúnmente se ha considerado a la EDAR como el “punto final” del agua residual, donde el agua depurada se descarga en las masas de agua receptoras. Sin embargo, la posibilidad de utilizar ese caudal como fuente de agua en zonas con desequilibrios hídricos se convierte en una opción cada vez más defendida. La reutilización es una solución efectiva ante los desequilibrios hídricos, permitiendo que la EDAR sea considerada como fuente de agua no conven…
Residual out-of-plane capacity of infills damaged by in-plane cyclic loads
2020
Abstract During earthquakes, infills are subjected to In-Plane (IP) and Out-Of-Plane (OOP) actions. In the case of strong earthquakes, infills may progressively change their mechanical behavior resulting in a reduction of IP and OOP stiffness and strength. Recent earthquakes have proved that the OOP collapse of infills is a diffused mechanism also for buildings designed to resist seismic events in agreement to the most modern codes. This is potentially a very dangerous event with risk for human health. The strong interaction between IP and OOP behavior of infills traduces in a progressive reduction of the OOP strength. The IP damaging loads may cause a loss of the OOP capacity not predicted…
Quasi-periodic dipping in the ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1
2021
Most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are believed to be stellar mass black holes or neutron stars accreting beyond the Eddington limit. Determining the nature of the compact object and the accretion mode from broadband spectroscopy is currently a challenge, but the observed timing properties provide insight into the compact object and details of the geometry and accretion processes. Here we report a timing analysis for an 800 ks XMM-Newton campaign on the supersoft ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1. Deep and frequent dips occur in the X-ray light curve, with the amplitude increasing with increasing energy band. Power spectra and coherence analysis reveals the dipping preferential…
Growth and defense in deciduous trees and shrubs under UV-B
2005
Abstract Reflection by waxy or resinous surface structures and hairs, repair reactions of biomolecules and induction of different sheltering components provide the means of plant protection from harmful solar UV-B radiation. Secondary products, especially flavonoids and phenolic acids as defense components are also important in plant tolerance to UV-B, fulfilling the dual role as screens that reduce UV-B penetration in plant tissues, and as antioxidants protecting from damage by reactive oxidant species. Plants are sensitive to UV-B radiation, and this sensitivity can be even more clone-specific than species-specific. The results available in the literature for deciduous trees and shrubs in…
Cruise passengers' experiences in a Mediterranean port of call. The case study of Valencia
2014
Most cruise tourism studies have been restricted to one geographical region, the Caribbean, to a single cruise line, and to onboard experiences. Despite their relevance there has been little research on the Mediterranean region, on specific ports of call and on off-board experience. Furthermore, in the cruise context, there have been no studies on the role of culture in consumer behavior. Hoping to help fill this void, this research analyzed the influence of cruise passengers' image of a Mediterranean port of call on visit satisfaction and future behavioral intentions, and the moderating role of culture in causal relationships among these constructs. Data were collected in the port of Valen…
Almost square Banach spaces
2014
We single out and study a natural class of Banach spaces -- almost square Banach spaces. In an almost square space we can find, given a finite set $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_N$ in the unit sphere, a unit vector $y$ such that $\|x_i-y\|$ is almost one. These spaces have duals that are octahedral and finite convex combinations of slices of the unit ball of an almost square space have diameter 2. We provide several examples and characterizations of almost square spaces. We prove that non-reflexive spaces which are M-ideals in their biduals are almost square. We show that every separable space containing a copy of $c_0$ can be renormed to be almost square. A local and a weak version of almost square spa…
