Oligarchies and Client Systems in Rural communities in the South of the Crown of Aragón (13th to 15th Centuries)
2010
Studies of late medieval Hispanic client systems generally focus on networks of noble power, to the exclusion of the peasantry. This is doubtless in part because the peasantry has traditionally been considered to represent a largely homogenous social group defined in opposition to the feudal nobility, whose members defended common interests. However, the last few years have witnessed a profusion of studies into the rural, or peasant, elites of Western Europe during the late medieval and modern periods, and these highlight not only significant disparities between the economic status of those and that of the remainder of the peasantry, but also their employment of specific power-mechanisms in…
A Research Project about Communism in Romanian Countryside: Ploughmen’s Front Propaganda (1944-1953)
2013
The Ploughmen Front represented the strongest and the oldest “comrade” of the Communist Party from Romania, with a major role in the countryside communization. In general, the studies dedicated to Romania communization focused on institutionalization of the regime, liquidation of democratic order, repression, anticommunist resistance and less on the transformations undergone by the Romanian countryside. The only important issue was the agriculture collectivization. Our project takes into consideration a new approach, which is the research of the way communism became popular in the rural areas, which meant 80% of the Romanian population, how the popularity of the historical parties was dislo…
Materialización de valores democráticos en España en el contexto de las elecciones europeas 2019
2022
La investigación, con financiación pública a través de la FPU (Formación de Profesorado Universitario), tiene como objetivo nuclear analizar el grado de democracia en España en los meses previos y posteriores a unas elecciones, al Parlamento Europeo en 2019, fundamentalmente en el ámbito de los partidos políticos y los medios de comunicación. Con visión holista, metodologías multidisciplinares y enfoque democratizador. El periodo evaluado incluye la mayor concentración electoral de la historia de España. El grueso de los datos recabados se refiere a la primera mitad de 2019, habiendo en algunos casos un seguimiento desde 2017-2018 hasta 2021-2022. Además de presentar estudios sobre la situa…
Mapping and quantification of cryptochrome expression in the brain of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum.
2021
Aphids are paradigmatic photoperiodic animals often used to study the role of the circadian clock in the seasonal response. Previously, we described some elements of the circadian clock core (genes period and timeless) and output (melatonin, AANATs and PTTH) that could have a role in the regulation of the aphid seasonal response. More recently we identified two opsins (C-ops and SWO4) as candidate input photoperiodic receptors. In the present report, we focus on the study of cryptochromes (cry) as photoreceptors of the circadian clock and discuss their involvement in the seasonal response. We analyze the expression of cry1 and cry2 genes in a circadian and seasonal context, and map their ex…
Partition of volatile compounds in pea globulin–maltodextrin aqueous two-phase system
2014
International audience; This study is based on the assumption that the off-flavour of pea proteins might be decreased using the retention of volatile compounds by a mixture with another biopolymer. The partition of volatile compounds in an aqueous system containing pea protein and maltodextrins was followed under thermodynamic incompatibility conditions. Firstly, the phase diagram of the system was established. Then, the partition of aroma compounds between the phase rich in protein and the phase rich in maltodextrin was measured by SPME–GC–MS. There was a transfer of volatile compounds during phase separation. Variations of pH were also used to vary the retention of volatile compounds by p…
La maschia potenza. Pratiche ergologiche e coreutica rituale nella civiltà contadina
2020
In occasione di diverse celebrazioni religiose che scandiscono il calendario cerimoniale siciliano, in specie nel corso della Settimana Santa e di alcune feste patronali, possibile osservare delle modalità di trasporto dei fercoli processionali (vare) assai peculiari. I santi simulacri, infatti, in tali circostanze, sono fatti correre e danzare sia per le strade dei centri abitati sia, in rari casi, all’interno degli edifici religiosi. Il disordine che connota queste performances coreutiche solo apparente. Esse obbediscono in realtà a un preciso codice cinetico: i fercoli vengono ritmicamente alzati e abbassati sulle braccia dai portatori, roteano ripetutamente su se stessi facendo id…
The Right to Food Sovereignty in International Law
2021
With the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP) in 2018, the right to food sovereignty was officially included in an international legal document for the first time. The concept of food sovereignty has been widely analyzed in sociology and politics, whilst it is rarely described in the legal context. This article aims to clarify the relationship among existing norms of international law such as the right to self-determination, the right to development and the right to adequate food with the right to food sovereignty. In order to clarify this relationship the article compares them with food sovereignty as described in the UND…
Los Tellos de Meneses by Lope de Vega in the Shaping of the Ideal of the Honourable Peasant
2011
En la primera parte del trabajo se destaca la popularidad de la que gozó la leyenda genealógica sobre la familia de los Tellos de Meneses a través de la recopilación de noticias de representación de obras que se dedicaron a este tema. El artículo se centra después en la bilogía dramática que Lope escribió sobre los orígenes de esta familia: Los Tellos de Meneses y Valor, fortuna y lealtad (segunda parte de Los Tellos de Meneses). Se analizan dos aspectos fundamentalmente: por un lado, el tratamiento que el autor hizo de las fuentes, quizá en un afán por favorecer la imagen de la familia; por otro lado, se analiza el lugar que ocupan estas dos obras de exaltación genealógica en la configurac…
Głodowanie jako nieszczęśliwe zrządzenie losu, czyli o tym, jak chłop musiał sobie radzić na przednówku i podczas klęsk żywiołowych
2018
W życiu najuboższych warstw społecznych przez całe wieki, w zasadzie aż do XX stulecia, nieodłączną częścią egzystencji był niedobór pożywienia, który w okresie przednówka i w czasie klęsk żywiołowych i nieurodzaju przybierał na sile. Ludność – co jakiś czas dotykana przez zły los – musiała sobie radzić i do swojego menu wprowadzać takie składniki, które pozwoliłyby zaspokoić albo chociaż oszukać głód. Tekst traktuje o losie chłopskim oraz o sposobach zaspokajania głodu w obliczu niedostatku, podaje się tu przykłady tzw. głodowych potraw, których składniki często były niejadalne albo wręcz trujące.
Truncated recombinant light harvesting complex II proteins are substrates for a protein kinase associated with photosystem II core complexes
1998
AbstractPrevious studies directed towards understanding phosphorylation of the chlorophyll a/b binding proteins comprising light harvesting complex II (LHC II) have concentrated on a single phosphorylation site located close to the N-terminus of the mature proteins. Here we show that a series of recombinant pea Lhcb1 proteins, each missing an N-terminal segment including this site, are nevertheless phosphorylated by a protein kinase associated with a photosystem II core complex preparation. An Lhcb1 protein missing the first 58 amino acid residues is not, however, phosphorylated. The results demonstrate that the LHC II proteins are phosphorylated at one or more sites, the implications of wh…
