importancia curricular de la Educación para la Ciudadanía en las escuelas de la Unión Europea
2022
Actualmente la sociedad se enfrenta a grandes desafíos a los que debe responder. Las Naciones Unidas aprobaron en 2015 la Agenda 2030 junto con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible con el fin de crear una ciudadanía capaz de dar respuesta a las necesidades y retos de la sociedad. Desde 1992 Europa sintió la necesidad crear una ciudadanía supranacional compuesta por todos los ciudadanos que forman la Unión Europea. La Educación para la Ciudadanía cumple con esta función y su implementación en los sistemas educativos de los países es muy diversa, dando como resultado diferentes ciudadanos.
El arquitecto Rafael Guastavino (1842-1908): obra en cuatro actos
2018
[EN] This text presents extensive new information on the figure of architect Rafael Guastavino Moreno (1842-1908), those around him, and his personal and family relationships with architecture. It also examines other artistic fields and trades such as music, carpentry and winemaking, all of which influenced and obtained feedback for Guastavino¿s architecture within the historical, political and economic situation of the three places where he lived in Spain: Valencia, Barcelona and Almudévar (Huesca), before emigrating to the United States of America, where his successful professional career as an architect is widely recognized in the literature
La oscura memoria: cine negro y brechas fantásticas en Enterrar a los muertos (2005) y Las serpientes ciegas (2008) [Una contraposición]
2021
La literatura en torno a la memoria es uno de los puntales de la narrativa hispánica reciente. Lo que este artículo pretende es adentrarse en una de sus áreas más inexploradas (las purgas estalinistas en España durante la Guerra Civil) a través del análisis y la confrontación de dos obras tan reconocidas como heterodoxas: la novela Enterrar a los muertos, de Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, y el cómic Las serpientes ciegas, de Felipe Hernández Cava y Bartolomé Seguí. La pasarela que comunica ambos textos es la estética de cine negro que ambienta el cómic y que –como intentaremos demostrar– modula la tensión de la novela. El final del camino lo marca el empleo de lo fantástico por parte de Cava y …
Straight into the Eyes - Jacek Łumiński and the Silesian Dance Theatre (1991-2011)
2020
The fi nal decade of the 20 th century was the turning-point for the development of Polish contemporary dance. In 1991 Jacek Łuminski established the Silesian Dance Theatre in Bytom. The theatre is said to be in the avant-garde of all activities related to contemporary dance development in Poland. It was J. Łuminski and his theatre who pioneered new trends in contemporary dance at the beginning of the nineties of the 20 th century, at the same time they have conducted educational activity over the intervening twenty years. The aim of this article is to present the artistic and educational activity of the Silesian Dance Theatre of the recent twenty years. In the beginning the author presents…
The phantoms of the opera—Stress offstage and stress onstage
2021
During opera performance singers deliver vocally demanding roles, follow a conductor, portray emotions of a musical work, act, dance, and engage with costumes, sets and props before an audience. Hence, opera performance is a stressful experience. This study examined different types of stress experiences by measuring the trajectories of 10 opera trainees’ heart rate variability (HRV) during two performances, covering onstage and offstage periods. We explored connections between HRV, self-reported stress measures, and expert-rated difficulty of the performed roles. We discovered that opera trainees had lower HRV and thus experienced greater physiological stress, while onstage compared to off…

Embodiment in Electronic Dance Music: Effects of musical content and structure on body movement
2018
Electronic dance music (EDM) is music produced with the foremost aim to make people move. While research has revealed relationships between movement features and, for example, musical, emotional, or personality characteristics, systematic investigations of genre differences and specifically of EDM are rather rare. This article aims at offering insights into the embodiment of EDM from three different angles: first from a genre-comparison perspective, then by comparing different EDM stimuli with each other, and finally by investigating embodiments in one specific EDM stimulus. Sixty participants moved freely to 16 stimuli of four different genres (EDM, Latin, Funk, Jazz – four stimuli/genre)…
The avant-garde’s visual arts in the context of Santayana’s idea of vital liberty
2012
Abstract In the present paper, the author looks at the political dimension of some trends in the visual arts within twentieth-century avant-garde groups (cubism, expressionism, fauvism, Dada, abstractionism, surrealism) through George Santayana’s idea of vital liberty. Santayana accused the avant-gardists of social and political escapism, and of becoming unintentionally involved in secondary issues. In his view, the emphasis they placed on the medium (or diverse media) and on treating it as an aim in itself, not, as it should be, as a transmitter through which a stimulating relationship with the environment can be had, was accompanied by a focus on fragments of life and on parts of existenc…
Soil microbial biomass carbon and fatty acid composition of earthworm Lumbricus rubellus after exposure to engineered nanoparticles
2014
none 6 no First Online: 14 October 2014 The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) on soil microbial biomass C (MBC) and on earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. An artificial soil was incubated for 4 weeks with earthworms fed with vegetable residues contaminated by NPs, consisting of Ag, Co, Ni and TiO2. After the treatments, soils were analysed for MBC and total and water soluble metal-NPs, whereas earthworms were purged for 28 days and then analysed for fatty acids (FAs) and total metal-NPs. Longitudinal sections of earthworms were investigated by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS),…
Determination of molecular species of oil triacylglycerols by reversed-phase and chiral-phase high-performance liquid chromatography
1991
A method is described for the determination of molecular species of oil triacylglycerols. The method is based on the analytical separation of the enantiomericsn-1,2-andsn-2,3-diacylglycerols, derived from triacylglycerols, by high-performance liquid-chromatography (HPLC) on a chiral column containing N-(R)-1-(α-naphthyl)ethylaminocarbonyl-(S)-valinecarbonyl-(S)-valine as stationary phase. Model triacyl-glycerol molecules comprising three known fatty acids were isolated from peanut oil and cottonseed oil by a combination of argentation-TLC and reversed-phase HPLC and submitted to partial chemical deacylation. The derivedsn-1,2(2,3)-diacylglycerols were analyzed and fractionated as 3,5-dinitr…
