Aristóteles, los sabios judíos y Salomón en una colección de sentencias inédita, <i>Palabras breves: dichos de sabios</i>

2008

This article presents an edition of an unpublished collection of sayings, of Jewish origin, to be found in Manuscript 5644 of the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, on folios 78 V (lxxx v ) to 84 V (lxxxvi v ). The contents are to be found in the Libro de los buenos proverbios (translated from Arabic into Spanish and Hebrew in the 13th century); in the Pirque Abot , the only wisdom tractate in the Mishnah ; and in the Proverbs of Solomon, part of the Tanakh , i.e. the Hebrew bible. The compilation of the work involved selecting and reorganising materials from various sources, following the editor’s tastes and interests, and giving rise to a new literary product which is a perfect example of the…

Are root letters compulsory for lexical access in Semitic languages? The case of masked form-priming in Arabic.

2014

Do Semitic and Indo-European languages differ at a qualitative level? Recently, it has been claimed that lexical space in Semitic languages (e.g., Hebrew, Arabic) is mainly determined by morphological constraints, while lexical space in Indo-European languages is mainly determined by orthographic constraints (Frost, Kugler, Deutsch, & Forster, 2005). One of the key findings supporting the qualitative difference between Semitic and Indo-European languages is the absence of masked form priming in Hebrew/Arabic with productive words. Here we examined whether masked form priming occurs in Arabic words when one of the letters from the productive root is replaced in the prime stimulus by another …

Literary-Stylistic Metathesis in the Hebrew Bible

2020

Abstract Biblical scholarship has concentrated almost exclusively on cases of unintentional metathesis, particularly as a tool of textual criticism. But metathesis is not only a result of accidents and mistakes; it can also be deliberately employed as a literary-stylistic device. Accordingly, this study addresses all three of these categories of metathesis in the biblical literature, but focuses particularly on Literary-stylistic metathesis that is an intentional form of metathesis, in which an author or editor has deliberately chosen to use two or more words that share the same characters in inverse order.

Forgetting to Remember: The Press Discourse, the Cold War and Conjunctures of Remembrance

2011

The first ‘memory wave’ of the Holocaust, largely based on the depictions of the liberation of the camps and the Nuremberg Trial, was coming to an end in the late 1940s.1 This period, sometimes called the ‘Nuremberg interregnum’,2 was also shaped by discussion relating to the Jewish DPs, the creation of Israel and its aftermath, as this this book has shown. As the Palestine issue became less acute and faded from daily news, talk of the Holocaust also vanished from the public domain. Consequently, the disappearance of the Holocaust from the public eye marked the beginning of a cultural amnesia that lasted, as the dominant historical wisdom now has it, until the 1960s.3 On the other hand, it …

Craft Beer Sector: New Technologies and Economic Opportunities for Local Development

Microbreweries, brewpubs and beerfirms in the Sicilian craft beer industry

2019

Purpose This paper aims to illustrate the organisational and managing models characterising the craft beer producers in Sicily (Southern Italy) and the main issues of the provision of raw materials. Design/methodology/approach A direct survey involving the overall population of 41 craft breweries operating in Sicily in 2016 was carried out. Then 29 questionnaires were collected for exploratory analysis. A hierarchical cluster analysis was also performed out to group companies by similar structural, productive and economic features. Findings The findings of the survey showed a Sicilian craft beer industry characterised by a substantial dependence on the import of malts hops and yeasts and t…

Heavy metal sorption in biosorbents – Using spent grain from the brewing industry

2019

The sorption properties of brewer's spent grain (BSG) were assessed in terms of its usefulness in removing heavy metals from solutions. The specific objectives of the investigation involved studying sorption equilibrium and kinetics, assessing the influence of other cations on sorption efficiency, and examining the possibility of bed regeneration. The studies were carried out in a static system, with a constant ratio of solution volume to biosorbent mass, and using a flow through system. The affinity of metal cations to BSG functional groups was established and increased in the series: Mn2þzZn2þ < Ni2þ < Cd2þ < Cu2þ < Pb2þ. The BSG's sorption capacities (mmol g�1), determined using the Lang…

Rome re-imagined : twelfth-century Jews, Christians and Muslims encounter the eternal city

2011

This collection examines the image of Rome through Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Persian descriptions of the eternal city. Placing the twelfth-century renaissance into a Mediterranean context. The city of Rome is revealed as a multi-vocal object of desire and a contested ideal.

An answer to two questions of Brewster and Yeh on M-groups

2003

Let χ be a (complex) irreducible character of a finite group. Recall that χ is monomial if there exists a linear character λ ∈ Irr(H), where H is some subgroup of G, such that χ = λG. A group is an M -group if all its irreducible characters are monomial. In 1992, B. Brewster and G. Yeh [1] raised the following two questions. Question A. Let M and N be normal subgroups of a group G. Assume that (|G : M |, |G : N |) = 1 and that M and N are M -groups. Does this imply that G is an M -group? ∗Research supported by the Basque Government, the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnoloǵia and the University of the Basque Country

Influence of roasting and different brewing processes on ochratoxin A content in coffee determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluoresc…

2008

A rapid and reliable procedure has been developed for the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in green and roasted coffee. The method consists of extraction of the sample with methanol-5% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate/1% PEG8000 (20:80), followed by immunoaffinity column (IAC) clean-up and, finally, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination with fluorimetric detection. Mean recoveries for green and roasted coffee spiked at different levels ranging from 94 and 105% were obtained. The limit of determination (S/N = 3) was 0.032 ng g(-1) and the precision (within-laboratory relative standard deviation) was 6%. The method described has been used to assess the influence of r…
