Els llindars de les Alonsíades. Els paratexts en La Alonsíada, de Joan Ramis, i L’Alonsíada, de Vicenç Albertí
2017
Resum: El 1818, l’il·lustrat menorqui Joan Ramis i Ramis (1746-1819) va publicar La Alonsiada , un poema epic en castella que narra la conquesta per part d’Alfons III d’Arago de l’illa de Menorca l’any 1287, aleshores en mans sarraines. El mateix any es va imprimir tambe la traduccio del text al catala, L’Alonsiada , a cura del seu coetani Vicenc Alberti i Vidal (1786-1859). Tot i que es tracten d’una obra original i la seua traduccio, hi ha diferencies notables en la presentacio de les dues versions. Aquestes divergencies afectes aspectes de caire civil i politic, com son la finalitat de cada text o el public al qual estaven adrecats. En aquesta linia, son molt interessants les implicacion…
Épica en el arte: el caso de la canción de autor
2017
Existe el concepto de épica que todo el mundo conoce más o menos: las hazañas heroicas de una persona individual. Pero debajo de él subyacen otras concepciones, como es la lucha cotidiana de héroes anónimos que se enfrentan cada día a su existencia, y que en cuanto dichas luchas tienen rasgos comunes entre personas parecidas, se convierte en una epopeya; también es concebible como la lucha histórica de un grupo marinado por el reconocimiento de sus derechos y su supervivencia. El arte se ha ocupado de estas otras nociones, especialmentea partir del siglo XIX, con el surgimiento de lo social en él, tratando de dotar a esas personas de dignidad histórica. En estas páginas, examinaremos el cas…
Gniew człowieka w Księdze Przysłów
2018
The article is dedicated to analysis of the statements in the Book of Proverbs concerning man’s wrath. After a preliminary depiction of the attitude of man’s wrath, the author presents the basic vocabulary, namely the nouns and verbs used by the sages of Israel to convey that hard reality. In the second part of the article, after unfolding the structure of Proverbs, particular sayings mentioning the human expression of wrath are discussed. A characteristic feature of the Book of Proverbs is depicting human attitudes in parallel, thus each of the sayings is linked to a suggested positive attitude to be embraced, so as not to yield to the negative inclination toward wrath and impulsiveness. T…
Epicuticular changes and storage potential of cactus pear [Opuntia ficus-indica Miller (L.)] fruit following gibberellic acid preharvest sprays and p…
1999
Abstract Cactus pear [Opuntia ficus-indica Mill. (L.) cv. Gialla] fruit were treated 10 weeks after the second induced-bloom flush with 10 ppm gibberellic acid (GA3) or were heated at 37°C for 30 h under saturated humidity after harvest. The two treatments were also combined before storage at 6°C for 45 days plus 4 additional days at 20°C to simulate a marketing period (SMP). Fruit not treated with GA3 and unheated were used as controls. GA3 spray delayed fruit ripening as evaluated by peel colour change and scanning electron microscopic observations of epicuticular wax morphology, decreased ethanol levels in the flesh during storage and SMP, and reduced decay development during storage. Po…
La cultura ci salverà? Processi di touristification a base culturale nel centro storico di Palermo
2023
Negli ultimi tre decenni la cultura ha avuto un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle politiche urbane, divenendo uno strumento decisivo nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo economico e nell’accesso alla competizione globale che caratterizzano l’attuale regime di neoliberismo urbano (Miles e Paddison 2005). Anche nel sud Europa la cosiddetta rigenerazione a base culturale ha rappresentato e continua ancora oggi a rappresentare una vera e propria ortodossia urbana, che trova nel turismo tanto una ragione di esistenza quanto un campo di attuazione. In particolare, negli ultimi anni i centri storici di molte città sudeuropee sono stati oggetto di trasformazioni profonde in cui pratiche…
The reflection component in NS LMXBs
2014
Thanks to the good spectral resolution and large effective area of the EPIC/PN instrument on board of XMM-Newton, we have at hand a large number of observations of accreting low-mass X-ray binaries, that allow for the fist time a comprehensive view on the characteristics of the reflection component at different accretion regimes and to probe the effects of a magnetosphere on its formation. We focus here on a comparative analysis of the reflection component from a series of spectroscopic studies on selected sources: 4U 1705-44, observed both in the soft and hard state, the pulsating ms pulsars SAX J1808.4-3658 and IGR J17511-3057, and the intermittent pulsar HETE J1900-2455. Although the sou…
Microbial Community Structure and Density Under Different Tree Species in an Acid Forest Soil (Morvan, France)
2005
Overexploitation of forests to increase wood production has led to the replacement of native forest by large areas of monospecific tree plantations. In the present study, the effects of different monospecific tree cover plantations on density and composition of the indigenous soil microbial community are described. The experimental site of "Breuil-Chenue" in the Morvan (France) was the site of a comparison of a similar mineral soil under Norway spruce (Picea abies), Douglas fir (Pseudotuga menziesii), oak (Quercus sessiflora), and native forest [mixed stand dominated by oak and beech (Fagus sylvatica)]. Sampling was performed during winter (February) at three depths (0-5, 5-10, and 10-15 cm…
L’autoreprésentation féminine dans la bande dessinée pornographique
2017
What happens when feminine authors investigate porn-comics and draw themselves in it ? Self-depiction of feminine authors conveys something original in a field where it usually is a way to express a private fantasy. From feminist comics of the 70s to the most recent porn comics, authors’ bodies are not sex objects anymore, they are the subject of a narration. Self-depiction is a new material for porn-comics and gives sincerity to the stories, it may be a way to express political views. Self-fantasy, sex confession or physical metamorphosis are the multiple ways self-depiction provides the feminine author to strengthen her authorship. Implicitly those self-depicted porn-authors draw up an in…
Dithiodiketopiperazine derivatives from endophytic fungi Trichoderma harzianum and Epicoccum nigrum
2021
A new epidithiodiketopiperazine (ETP), pretrichodermamide G (1), along with three known (epi)dithiodiketopiparazines (2-4) were isolated from cultures of Trichoderma harzianum and Epicoccum nigrum, endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plants Zingiber officinale and Salix sp., respectively. The structure of the new compound (1) was established on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS. The isolated compounds were investigated for their antifungal, antibacterial and cytotoxic potential against a panel of microorganisms and cell lines. Pretrichodermamide A (2) displayed antimicrobial activity towards the plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis and the human path…
Morphogenic responsein vitroof epicotyl segments ofCitrus macrophylla
2008
Abstract The influence of explant orientation, contact of the cut surface with the medium, type of growth regulators and distance of epicotyl cuttings from the cotyledonary node (the part of the seedling where the cotyledons are attached) on in vitro morphogenesis of Citrus macrophylla (alemow) was evaluated. Maximum number of shoots was induced from epicotyl segments placed horizontally.
