UNCLOS and territorialization of the seas: the case of Indian and Pacific Oceans
2017
The 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone created by the 1982 UNCLOS regime generates conflict in areas where the distance between opposite national coasts is less than 400 nautical miles and in marginal seas surrounded by many states and with islands. This is the case of the marginal seas in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In particular, the EEZ regime has proved troublesome in the South China Sea, leading some authors to ask whether it has actually strengthened or undermined peace and cooperation. Does the problem really lie with UNCLOS? My purpose hereby is to explain that, in truth, UNCLOS is a milestone in the process of territorialization of the seas . The EEZ regime represents the…
Propuesta de creación de un organismo coordinador del hispanismo en India desde una perspectiva intercultural
2020
El origen de este trabajo de investigación ha sido la reflexión docente en enseñanza de ELE con adultos en India, a partir de una autoobservación continua e introspección orientadas hacia el desarrollo profesional dentro del contexto indio. Esta autoobservación ha contado con grabaciones de audio y vídeo y con anotaciones que, junto con encuestas y evaluaciones docentes distribuidas entre el alumnado, han permitido procesos de reflexión en los que, inevitablemente, se han registrado también aspectos más introspectivos, como las percepciones de la profesora, en su doble función de guía y de observadora participante en una cultura extranjera. Todo lo oído, visto y pensado ha sido registrado d…
China y el Lejano Oriente en el relato de Benjamín de Tudela (siglo xii). Realidades y fantasías
2018
El texto hebreo del relato de los viajes e itinerarios del rabino Benjamín de Tudela (siglo xii, circa 1165-1173) contiene interesantes y curiosos datos étnicos, geográficos, económicos y míticos relacionados con remotas latitudes orientales: las tradicionales rutas comerciales centroasiáticas, la India, Malabar, Tíbet y la China, entre otros parajes. Informaciones reales o fantásticas que acaso debió recoger y anotar el judío tudelano durante su larga estancia en Bagdad, o fruto de posteriores interpolaciones y añadidos a cargo de los copistas.
Luxuria et mollitia: Rome’s textile raw material trade with the East
2014
A partir del Principado de Augusto, el Imperio romano comenzó a importar grandes cantidades de materias primas textiles y de tintes de lujo (luxuria) procedente de la India y de China. Este comercio provocó una reacción moralizante por parte de varios escritores, que vieron en la llegada de dichos productos un factor de afeminación de su sociedad (mollitia). From the Principate of Augustus onward, the Roman Empire began to import large quantities of textile raw materials as well as of luxury dyes (luxuria) from India and China. This trade caused a moralistic reaction by several writers, who saw in the arrival of these goods a factor of effeminacy of their society (mollitia).
Remarks on the environmental adaptation of man.
1971
In this paper the geographical variability of some morphological, physiological and serological traits of man is discussed with respect to the question, how far this variability can be considered as the result of selective adaptation processes. Though there is already some evidence supporting such an assumption, much more detailed and exactly planned research is necessary to clear the indubitable relations between the distribution patterns of anthropological traits and the various environmental conditions of human biotops. Particularly much more work is required to understand the causative mechanisms on which these relations are based.
Muratorian urban morphology: the walled city of Ahmedabad
2015
This paper investigates the complexity of the urban fabric, from the urban scale to the building and neighbourhood scale, by using the concepts and tools of urban morphology according to the Muratorian School. Specifically, basic concepts such as ‘urban polarities’, ‘routes hierarchical system’ and ‘building neighbourhood’ are used. They are deployed in the walled city of Ahmedabad, India, which has a rich architectural heritage clearly recognizable in Indo-Islamic monuments and particularly in aggregative structures called pols.

Regionalizing rainfall at very high resolution over la Réunion island using a regional climate model.
2014
Abstract Regional climate models (RCMs) should be evaluated with respect to their ability to downscale large-scale climate information to the local scales, which are sometimes strongly modulated by surface conditions. This is the case for La Réunion (southwest Indian Ocean) because of its island context and its complex topography. Large-scale atmospheric configurations such as tropical cyclones (TCs) may have an amplifying effect on local rainfall patterns that only a very high-resolution RCM, forced by the large scales and resolving finescale processes, may simulate properly. This paper documents the capability of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) RCM to regionalize rainfall…
Interannual variability of rainfall in the eastern horn of Africa and indicators of atmospheric circulation
1993
Relationships between rainfall variations in the Eastern Horn of Africa, the Southern Oscillation, and the Indian Ocean temperature and pressure surface fields are studied for the period 1932–83. Rainfall data consist of stations and regional indices calculated for three selected areas experiencing quite different rainfall patterns. The results indicate significant negative correlations between northern autumn rains in Somalia and the Southern Oscillation during the same season. These rains are also negatively correlated with pressure in the Western Indian Ocean, and positively correlated in the Eastern Indian Ocean. The reverse pattern is shown with sea-surface temperature. This agrees ver…
