Sports heroes in graphic narratives
2018
Although formulating a single definition of comics as a medium is an arduous task, many scholars argue that the form depends primarily on sequentiality, i.e., the arrangement of several images to c...
L?herència del debat literari sobre la condició femenina en l?obra dramàtica de Francesc Palanca i Roca
2020
Resum: Els estudiosos del teatre del segle XIX consideren que els gèneres escènics vuitcentistes, en especial el sainet, són una font de documentació de la societat d’aquells anys. En conseqüència, a través d’una part important de la producció dramàtica de Francesc Palanca i Roca (1834-1897) podem resseguir els hàbits, els costums i les tradicions dels valencians d’aquell període, fins i tot la disputa o el debat al voltant de les dones que inundava els ambients literaris i acadèmics europeus des de l’edat mitjana. En aquest sentit, observarem com les obres per a escena de Palanca i Roca recullen l’herència dels tòpics misògins i dels arguments en defensa de la condició femenina, una herènc…
Parallelized short read assembly of large genomes using de Bruijn graphs
2011
Abstract Background Next-generation sequencing technologies have given rise to the explosive increase in DNA sequencing throughput, and have promoted the recent development of de novo short read assemblers. However, existing assemblers require high execution times and a large amount of compute resources to assemble large genomes from quantities of short reads. Results We present PASHA, a parallelized short read assembler using de Bruijn graphs, which takes advantage of hybrid computing architectures consisting of both shared-memory multi-core CPUs and distributed-memory compute clusters to gain efficiency and scalability. Evaluation using three small-scale real paired-end datasets shows tha…
An Unexplained Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation-II in a Child with Neurohepatic Involvement, Hypercholesterolemia and Hypoceruloplasminemia
2017
We report on a 12-year-old adopted boy with psychomotor disability, absence seizures, and normal brain MRI. He showed increased (but initially, at 5 months, normal) serum cholesterol, increased alkaline phosphatases, transiently increased transaminases and hypoceruloplasminemia with normal serum and urinary copper. Blood levels of immunoglobulins, haptoglobin, antithrombin, and factor XI were normal. A type 2 serum transferrin isoelectrofocusing and hypoglycosylation of apoCIII pointed to a combined N- and O-glycosylation defect. Neither CDG panel analysis with 79 CDG-related genes, nor whole exome sequencing revealed the cause of this CDG. Whole genome sequencing was not performed since th…

Don Quijote en el manga: Traducción, transformación y adaptación en la cultura de masas
2017
During the 19th Century and with the first translations of Don Quixote to japanese, Cervantes’ work started to be part of the country’s mass culture. As a manifestation of this phenomenon, the manga absorbed the image of the knight-errant. This comic genre adapted it to its aesthetic criteria and merged it with its history and folklore. At the same time, the manga has been exported to Western world, where readers and artists are familiarized with its characteristical style. Hence, Don Quixote works together with the manga as a bidireccional bridge between Japan and Spain. Far from the novel, the universality of this classic will find its way into the drawing and will take as base the popula…
Sophisticated humor against COVID-19 : the Polish case
2021
Abstract The analysis undertaken in the article focuses on a group of memes selected from the database which drew on culture-specific references. Specifically, they embrace the memories of socialist times and call on references to comic films and easily recognized characters in order to bring out the re-discovered absurdity of the current COVID-19 situation. This material seems ideal to revisit Raskin’s early notion of sophistication, which was broadly argued to derive from intertextuality as well complexity of references that function as sources of humor. In all the examples discussed we can observe the intertextual and metatextual elements, multiple levels and shifts in points of view and…

2021
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Monográfico con el título: "Propuestas y perspectivas de investigación en el área de Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literatura" Se investiga la representación que de la diversidad funcional se transmite en el cómic contemporáneo como espacio clave para el diálogo con el lector. A través de una tríada de cómics protagonizados por personajes infantiles y juveniles con diversidad funcional, se incide en la erradicación de restrictivas concepciones de la diferencia como problema que debe ser neutralizado y profundiza en las posibilidades de la historieta para la educación literaria e inclusiva y la renovación del canon de aula ESP
la suasoria nella preghiera agli dei: percorso diacronico dalla commedia alla tragedia
2009
Il lavoro si basa sul riconoscimento della struttura retorica della suasoria dal campo proprio dell'eloquenza a quello più 'metafisico' della preghiera rivolta ad un dio, nelle forme in cui essa è rappresentata in alcuni generi letterari, fra cui spicca il teatro e, segnatamente, il teatro comico. L'analisi degli esempi addotti è sempre puntuale e opportunamente attenta al dato stilistico, inteso soprattutto come ricorso a parallelismi e figure foniche. Questo tipo di indagine si rivela particolarmente fruttuosa per il teatro plautino, ove la ricchezza retorico-srilistica è caratteristica fondamentale anche della resa scenica. Sono numerosi gli studi che hannointeso dimostrare come Plauto u…
