Una poética de las ruinas. Testimonio y alegoría de Aníbal Quijada
2009
El texto de Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas ejemplifica la doble vinculación de los testimonios del exilio chileno. Por una parte, éstos debieron inscribirse en las estrategias internacionales de denuncia contra la dictadura militar y, por otra, la comunidad cultural latinoamericana hizo de los testimonios un elemento esencial para la redefinición del concepto mismo de lo literario. El testimonio de Quijada desarrolla, en ese contexto, unas estrategias narrativas y de representación que alejan su textura de la mayoría de los testimonios de la época.The text of Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas, is a good example of the double filiation of the testimonies of Chilean exile. In one hand these testimon…
Conceptualising Violence in Close Relationships : Discrepancies Between Police Conceptions and the Letter of the Law in Finland
2020
AbstractThe focus in this Finland-based study is on violence in close relationships—a term that partly overlaps with the more commonly used ‘domestic violence’, ‘family violence’ and ‘intimate partner violence’. We demonstrate how police officers’ conceptualisations of such violence differ from how it is defined in relevant legal documents. The data consists of the Government Bill and legal text on the subject issued as part of a legal reform enacted in 2010, and of a qualitative sample of freelist responses from 79 police officers. We examined both sets of data using theory-driven directed content analysis and deriving from prevailing theoretical frameworks reflecting the family- and gende…

Magnesium and hypertension in old age
2021
Hypertension is a complex condition in which various actors and mechanisms combine, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications that today represent the most frequent causes of mortality, morbidity, disability, and health expenses worldwide. In the last decades, there has been an exceptional amount of experimental, epidemiological, and clinical studies confirming a close relationship between magnesium deficit and high blood pressure. Multiple mechanisms may help to explain the bulk of evidence supporting a protective effect of magnesium against hypertension and its complications. Hypertension increases sharply with advancing age, hence older persons are those most affected…

Autor y lector en la traducción catalana del Decamerón de Boccaccio: análisis de una asimilación
2013
Resumen: Ese trabajo analiza la traduccion catalana del Decameron de 1429 centrandose en las particularidades de la narrativa, especialmente la relacion entre el autor y el lector. Sin dejar de lado aspectos propios de la traduccion en aquel momento, se enfatiza el valor de este texto, en ocasiones considerado una mera adaptacion, como una obra humanistica, un documento de la asimilacion del humanismo italiano en la Corona de Aragon. El texto catalan es una muestra de como se entendieron las ideas narrativas del autor italiano, pues muchos de los que se han considerado defectos en la obra responden a estrategias narrativas en funcion de un determinado publico y una determinada cultura. Se t…
