La radicalidad del mal banal
2002
El concepto de ‘banalidad del mal’ fue introducido por Hannah Arendt a fin de caracterizar una forma inédita de perversidad que ella vio encarnada en Adolf Eichmann y otros criminales nazis. Arendt consideraba que esa forma de perversidad estaba muy alejada de la noción de ‘mal radical’ que Kant había acuñado y la propia Arendt había empleado en trabajos anteriores. El objetivo principal del artículo es mostrar que hay más afinidades entre el mal radical kantiano y la banalidad del mal de lo que la propia Arendt reconoce. ‘Banality of evil’ was a concept introduced by Hannah Arendt in order to characterize a new form of wickedness embodied in people as Adolf Eichmann and others nazis crimin…
Influence of the pressing system on pomegranate juice physical-chemical properties
2017
Pomegranate juice has many health properties as the fruits contain anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial and antiviral compounds. Its consumption has greatly increased throughout the world in recent years due to the potential of its different components, polyphenols and anthocyanins among all. Many studies have been performed on the pomegranate juice yield demonstrating its influence on the organoleptic and physicochemical properties of the juice. Commercial pomegranate juice production involves pressing fruits procedures. As a consequence, there is a need to investigate the pressing machine types and optimization in order to achieve juice yield and enhance its health properties. The aim of this …
Production of a a-L-Rhamnosidase from Aspergillus Terreus Using Citrus Solid Waste as Inducer for Application in Juice Industry
2012
Naringinase is an enzyme complex consisting of a a-L-rhamnopyranosidase (Rha, EC. 3.2.1.40) and ß-D-glucopyranosidase (ßG, EC. 3.2.1.21). a-L-rhamnopyranosidase is an enzyme of considerable importance in food technology for increasing the aroma of fruit juices and alcoholic beverages. It is particularly used for debittering of citrus-juice by the hydrolysis of naringin and hesperidin, however this activity is low in commercial enzyme preparations. The aim of this work is the production of Rha from Aspergillus terreus fermentation using citrus solid waste (CSW), called “pastazzo”, as specific inducer. CSW is rich in fermentable materials such as sugars, in particular rhamnose, in pectins, an…

Un effet fantastique du Quichotte de Cervantès: l’épisode de Cardenio dans la Sierra Morena
2018
S’il est vrai qu’en Europe la littérature fantastique n’acquiert une grande ampleur qu’à la fin du XVIIIe siècle dans des œuvres principalement allemandes, anglaises et françaises, elle est considérée comme peu présente, voire inexistante dans la littérature espagnole. Toutefois, M. Aranda, éminente hispaniste, écarte toute opinion préconçue : dans son récent ouvrage Le spectre en son miroir : essai sur le texte fantastique au Siècle d’or , elle suggère que la littérature espagnole du Siècle d’or portait déjà en germe certaines caractéristiques de l’écriture fantastique et affirme que Cervantès en serait un « inventeur probable ». Le chef d’œuvre cervantin Don Quichotte a souvent été étudié…
A Role for Judges in Assisted Dying
2009
Medically provoked death, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is a common issue for discussion in various forums, participants coming from widely differing fields of knowledge, among who are, of course, doctors. Substantial legal differences exist in Europe on this issue and in an ever-wider Europe, it is essential, for practical reasons, that legislation be standardised. We would like to propose possible regulations that would provide effective safeguards in the application of euthanasia or assisted suicide.

From arsenic to DDT: Pesticides, Fascism and the invisibility of toxic risks in the early years of Francoist Spain (1939-1953)
2021
This paper reviews the way in which Spanish agriculture climbed onto the pesticide treadmill. We claim that Fascist policies and expert advice assembled in the early 1940s accelerated the introduction of pesticides into Spanish agriculture and promoted the emergence of the Spanish pesticide industry in the times of autarky. Agricultural engineers were the key protagonists in this process, but other human and non-human actors also played a pivotal role: a new pest (the Colorado beetle), Francoist politicians, farmers, landowners and industry managers. Our focus is on the use of pesticides against the Colorado beetle (the main threat to the potato crop), and the transition from arsenical pest…
Poésie populaire et poésie savante dans le 'Quichotte' de 1605 et ses éditions postérieures
2006
Este analisis del estatuto de los textos poéticos presentes en la Primera Parte del 'Quijote' (1605) pretende cuestionar el dialogo entre ambito popular y ambito culto en la obra cervantina. La clasificacion propuesta establece una clara distincion en el proceso creador entre los poemas citados (romancero popular heredado / poesia de corte humanista, antigua o italiana / homenajes y pastiches de poetas contemporaneos) y por otra parte los poemas forjados expresamente para la ficcion novelesca (sonetos satiricos y poemas cervantinos intercalados en la trama narrativa). En un segundo momento, el articulo se dedica a estudiar el tratamiento de tales textos versificados en las reediciones de la…
Suicide and depression in former contact sports participants: population-based cohort study, systematic review, and meta-analysis
2022
SummaryBackgroundTraumatic brain injury is associated with the future risk of depression and suicide, and this raises the possibility that former participants in sports characterised by low intensity repetitive head impact may also subsequently experience an increased burden of these mental health outcomes. Using new data from a cohort study integrated into a meta-analysis of the current evidence, we compared the occurrence of depression and suicide in former contact sports athletes against general population controls.MethodsThe cohort study comprised 2004 retired male athletes who had competed internationally on an amateur basis for Finland between 1920 and 1965, and 1385 age-equivalent ma…
