Finnish Cottage Industry and Cultural Policy: A Historical View
2013
Eliza Kraatari (MSSc, MA) works as a doctoral student in the unit of cultural policy at the Universityof Jyvaskyla. With a background in art and design (MA) and major in political science she is studyingthe history of Finnish cottage industry policies in her dissertation. Her special fields of interestinclude craft and design history, the linkages of design and the political, and creativity and culturaleconomy in general. E-mail: eliza.kraatari@jyu.fi
The VST Photometric Hα Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+)
2014
The VST Photometric Halpha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u, g, r, i and Halpha at 1 arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic latitude range -5 < b < +5 at all longitudes south of the celestial equator. Extensions around the Galactic Centre to Galactic latitudes +/-10 bring in much of the Galactic Bulge. This ESO public survey, begun on 28th December 2011, reaches down to 20th magnitude (10-sigma) and will provide single-epoch digital optical photometry for around 300 million stars. The observing strategy and data pipelining is described, and an appraisal of the segmented narrowband Halpha filter in us…
Spurious source generation in mapping from noisy phase-self-calibrated data
2008
Phase self-calibration (or selfcal) is an algorithm often used in the calibration of interferometric observations in astronomy. Although a powerful tool, this algorithm presents strong limitations when applied to data with a low signal-to-noise ratio. We analyze the artifacts that the phase selfcal algorithm produces when applied to extremely noisy data. We show how the phase selfcal may generate a spurious source in the sky from a distribution of completely random visibilities. This spurious source is indistinguishable from a real one. We numerically and analytically compute the relationship between the maximum spurious flux density generated by selfcal from noise and the particulars of th…

THE SYSTEM OF LOCAL COMPETENCES IN THE ROMANIAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
2014
The extension of administrative tasks, originally endowed with powers of supervisionand maintain a social balance, it gradually became an engine that determines changes, a newlevel of transformation. Given the current status of local collectivities, through this research weintend to argue their tendency to become leading actors in the landscape of administrative,political, economic and social.Our study will consider the effects of the successive transfer of powers upon localcollectivities and its implications for the organization, mission and coooperation. Thesecircumstances arise many challenges for state and local collectivity: changing relations betweenthe institutions generated by the t…
La cuestión migratoria cubana. Algunas apreciaciones
2017
El trabajo tiene como objetivo introducir al lector en algunas cuestiones de interés en relación a la normativa migratoria cubana, resaltando algunos conceptos de relevancia para los lectores ávidos en la materia y sobre todo en el complejo mundo del derecho cubano sumergido en las indefiniciones. Destacando además la incidencia de esta norma en el ámbito de la persona y la autonomía de la voluntad.
Perception of mineral character in Sauvignon blanc wine: inter-individual differences
2014
Revue non indexée dans le JCR.; Of the descriptors employed to characterize wine organoleptically, minerality is arguably one of the most enigmatic. The aim of the work described in this article was to delineate the nature of perceived minerality in Sauvignon wine, specifically its sensorial reality for experienced wine professionals from France and New Zealand. Participants evaluated 16 Sauvignon blanc wines (8 French; 8 New Zealand) under three conditions, ortho-nasal olfaction, palate only (Nose-clip condition), and by full tasting (global perception). Data from the global condition only are reported here. Key results include: i) that although there were quantitative differences in perce…
La multisecular invocació de sant Vicent Ferrer com a defensor de la 'llengua valenciana'
2019
catalaAl llarg de la historia de la llengua catalana, el nom de sant Vicent Ferrer (ca. 1350- 1419) ha estat associat a l’estima per la seua llengua materna, ja que sempre va predicar «in sua vulgari idiomate Catalonie seu Valentino». Els valencians han utilitzat aquesta creenca per a invocar la proteccio de sant Vicent sobre la «llengua valenciana» y sobre el poble valencia. Es una de les raons que expliquen la gran popularitat del sant entre els valencians. Les modalitats amb que s’han expressat des del segle xvi les apologies de la llengua invocant l’exemple de sant Vicent posen de manifest una situacio de conflicte linguistic. EnglishThroughout the history of the Catalan language, the n…
Maria Beneyto: la creació literària de la dona múltiple i diversa al llarg del temps
2020
Resum: Maria Beneyto es una de les autores fonamentals de la literatura valenciana depostguerra amb una llarga trajectòria tant en l’àmbit narratiu com poètic. Realitzem unapetita introducció al voltant del context i les circumstàncies en les quals desenvolupa la seuaactivitat creadora i, a més, fem una anàlisi de la seua obra, que ens dibuixa, entre altres aspectes,una radiografia del signe femení contemplat des de la diversitat i el compromís. Peraquest motiu estudiem aquest tipus d’imatges relacionades amb els referents ficcionals i realstot reivindicant una identitat marcada per la diferència.

La primera celebració del centenari de la mort de sant Vicent Ferrer (1919)
2019
catalaL’any 1919 la ciutat de Valencia celebra, per primera vegada, el centenari de la defuncio de sant Vicent Ferrer. I potser a causa de la manca de tradicio commemorativa i de la dificil conjuntura politica i social —i tal vegada tambe de l’excessiu anhel oficialista dels principals promotors, la comunitat de dominics de Valencia—, alguns dels actes mes importants de l’efemeride, com ara la resolucio del certamen historic, artistic i literari i la inauguracio d’una lapida de commemoracio i record, acabaren demorant-se mes de dos anys. Amb tot, hom assenta una nova fita vicentina; i, gracies a la implicacio d’entitats culturals com ara Lo Rat Penat i el Centre de Cultura Valenciana, s’aco…
