Reina María Rodríguez: A Poetic of the Limits to Cuba
2013
in this article we intend to approach some of the major controversies that have affected the poetry written in Cuba in recent decades: the reflection on the relationship of poetic language with reality; the writing of the limits, the remains —that what ideology hides—; the crossing of different genres and artistic languages —poetry, fiction, image—, etc. To do this, we analyze two books published by the Cuban poet Reina Maria Rodríguez: Travelling (1995) and Variedades de Galiano (2008). And their relationship to the American “Language Poets”.
The apocryphal: prototype of a subjectivity in crisis
2013
The introduction of this paper reviews the concept of the subject, which originated in classical antiquity and developed in Western culture up to the Enlightenment and Romanticism with the addition of new aspects but without questioning its foundation as a substantial Subject. The first major crisis of this received view took place in the first quarter of the twentieth century after the assimilation of the works by Marx, Freud or Nietzsche, which laid the foundations of a thorough criticism on the subject. One important feature of this crisis was the proliferation of apocryphal writing, which reached new models in the works of Fernando Pessoa and Antonio Machado. Between them lies the scope…
Evaluación del aprendizaje autorregulado: validación española del Motivated Strategies Learning Questionnaire en Educación Secundaria
2017
En el presente trabajo se efectúa la validación del Motivated Strategies Learning Questionnaire –MSLQ- (Pintrich y De Groot, 1990), diseñado para la evaluación del aprendizaje autorregulado. Se analiza su validez factorial a través de técnicas de análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, se analiza su validez convergente con la adaptación española del Time Management Behavior Survey y su capacidad predictiva sobre el rendimiento académico, efectuando distintos análisis diferenciales en función del género y de la edad de estudiantes de Educación Secundaria. Se ha aplicado la adaptación al castellano del MSLQ a una muestra de 456 estudiantes de diferentes centros educativos de la provi…
Prospettive dialettiche intorno alla definizione del fenomeno mafioso
2023
Il fenomeno mafioso non nasce certo con l’istituzione della legge n. 646, del 13 settembre 1982, fortemente voluta da Pio La Torre e approvata, non già dopo la sua morte (il 30 aprile del 1982) ma solo all’indomani della strage di via Carini, dove persero la vita il prefetto di Palermo Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, la giovane moglie Emanuela Setti Carraro e l’agente di scorta Domenico Russo. Ma in quella data viene dato un nome e un riconoscimento giuridico – suggellato in uno specifico articolo del codice penale, il 416bis – a un fenomeno criminale risalente nel tempo. Su queste diverse prospettive, sulla tardività del parlamento nel legiferare in questa materia e sulle battaglie dialettiche…
Tower of London test: a comparison between conventional statistic approach and modelling based on artificial neural network in differentiating fronto…
2011
The early differentiation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from frontotemporal dementia (FTD) may be difficult. The Tower of London (ToL), thought to assess executive functions such as planning and visuo-spatial working memory, could help in this purpose. Twentytwo Dementia Centers consecutively recruited patients with early FTD or AD. ToL performances of these groups were analyzed using both the conventional statistical approaches and the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) modelling. Ninety-four non aphasic FTD and 160 AD patients were recruited. ToL Accuracy Score (AS) significantly (p < 0.05) The use of hidden information contained in the different items of ToL and the non linear processing of…
Precipitaciones mediterráneas y movimientos de masa en margas de los valles de Alcoi
1992
SE REALIZA UNA EVALUACION ESPACIO-TEMPORAL DE LAS PRECIPITACIONES (ANUALES, TANDAS MAXIMAS DE VARIOS DIAS DE DURACION Y MAXIMAS EN 24 H) QUE PRECEDEN Y ACOMPAÑAN A MOVIMIENTOS DE LADERA EN UN AMBIENTE TIPICAMENTE MEDITERRANEO. A PARTIR DE CASOS OBSERVADOS (LA ROCA 1991B) SE DISTINGUEN DOS TIPOS DE PRECIPITACION (VOLUMEN, INTENSIDAD, DURACION) , QUE, A GRANDES RASGOS, VAN ASOCIADOS A DIFERENTES MORFOGENESIS POR MOVIMIENTOS DE LADERA ETC...

Thermal Decomposition and Combustion of Microwave Pre-Treated Biomass Pellets
2021
The objective of the study was to investigate a more effective use of commercially available biomass pellets (wheat straw, wood, peat) using microwave pretreatment to improve heat production. Pellets were pretreated using the originally designed microwave torrefaction device. The effects of microwave (mw) pretreatment were quantified, providing measurements of the weight loss and elemental composition of pellets and estimating the effect of mw pretreatment on their porosity, surface area and calorific values at pretreatment temperatures of T = 448–553 K. Obtained results show that the highest structural variations and elemental composition during mw pretreatment were obtained for wheat stra…
Sorption properties of torrefied wood and charcoal
2014
AbstractPre-treating biomass by torrefaction is assumed to improve the material's storage properties because of reducing hydrophilicity. In order to assess the effect of sorption on storage properties, the adsorption of water vapour and capillary absorption of liquid water in torrefied and charred spruce and birch were studied. In addition, the chemical changes were evaluated through Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Adsorption decreased notably as severity of treatment increased, as was expected due to degradation of the wood constituents, namely hemicelluloses and amorphous cellulose. Capillary absorption increased with increasing severity in spruce samples while birch show…
Considerations on factors affecting biochar densification behavior based on a multiparameter model
2021
The optimization of upscaled biochar pelleting is limited by lack of knowledge regarding the effects of process parameters. A multiparameter model, coupled to a single pellet press unit, was for the first time applied to biochar production to predict the upscaled biochar pelleting process behavior. The model permits to estimate in a time and cost-effective way how the die friction forces, quantified through the pellet exiting pressure, are affected by the key process parameters. It was observed that to achieve acceptably low exiting pressures (in the order of 100 MPa), it was critical to produce biochar at high temperatures (e.g. 600 °C). Addition of water as a binder is also beneficial, wh…
