Predicación y reforma en el contexto católico europeo previo a Trento
Authors: Pena González Miguel Anxo
Published: June 2021

El presente artículo se acerca al contexto generado por la reforma, en la primera mitad del siglo XVI, en el contexto católico, donde la predicación se convierte en un elemento de primer nivel. En este sentido, se leen en una perspectiva más amplia algunos elementos que tradicionalmente se han interpretado como vinculación con un pasado medieval, pero que tienen ya mucho que ver con la modernidad y un incipiente humanismo cristiano. Propuestas tempranas como las de Antonio de Nebrija y Pedro Ciruelo –que son analizadas en el presente trabajo– no estarán tan distantes de las expresadas en el V Concilio de Letrán o en las propuestas siempre sugerentes de Erasmo. Sin lugar a dudas, la propuesta del Maestro Ávila se presenta como una proyección de dichas ideas, pero que viene completada desde la coherencia de la propia vida.

Umbral y cuerpo: miradas sobre la vejez en la poesía de Claribel Alegría
Authors: Fernández Zambudio Josefa
Published: June 2021

En este artículo, exploramos las miradas sobre la vejez que nos ofrece en su obra poética la autora nicaragüense-salvadoreña Claribel Alegría (1924-2018). Para ello, buscaremos en sus versos evidencias que retraten las diversas perspectivas con las que se ha acercado a este tema, y recogeremos también declaraciones de la autora en entrevistas, que nos permitan ahondar en sus planteamientos. Nos centraremos en dos nociones fundamentales para su poética: el cuerpo y el umbral. La corporalidad supone una forma de conciencia y autoconciencia de su deterioro, pero también una reflexión sobre la necesidad de que el cuerpo envejezca, y así refleje las vivencias del amor. La idea del umbral implica el espacio y momento exactos en los que se espera el paso hacia otro lugar, la conciencia de la preparación para un viaje aún no realizado, de modo que representa la vejez que reconoce la proximidad de la muerte. Esto nos permitirá adentrarnos en qué significados otorga Alegría a los efectos de la vejez en el cuerpo, los recuerdos, el tiempo, y el tránsito hacia la muerte, y qué palabras e imágenes ha escogido para representarlos. La escasez de estudios dedicados específicamente a esta perspectiva y la originalidad de las concepciones ofrecidas por la autora justifican nuestra aportación.

Production of chitosan and lipids from a newly isolated Mucor circinelloides
Authors:   , Zininga Johnson Tungamirai
Published: June 2021

Filamentous fungi are well-known sources of a wide variety of industrially-useful biomolecules. This study demonstrates the applicability of a newly isolated oleaginous fungi Mucor circinelloides ZSKP for lipid and chitosan production. Parameters affecting co-production were identified and were statistically optimized, which resulted in a 3–fold improvement in lipid production. The lipid profile showed a high content of unsaturated fatty acids including oleic, linolenic and linoleic acids, while palmitic acid was the major saturated fatty acid (21%). A comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of enzymatic and chemical treatments for biodiesel production from fungal lipids and sunflower oil revealed slightly enhanced production of biodiesel from fungal lipids, using a commercial lipase. The biodiesel synthesized using lipids from M. circinelloides ZSKP satisfied standard specifications and had a higher cetane number (56), lower kinematic viscosity (4.6 mm2/s) and lower acid number (0.03) compared to sunflower oil. Upon optimizing chitosan production and extraction processes the chitosan production was improved 2-fold. The fungal chitosan showed antimicrobial properties and was more effective against Aspergillus niger A chitosan spray was developed which was able to increase the shelf life of fresh fruit produce. These results indicate that Mucor circinelloides ZSKP is a promising candidate for concurrent production of lipids and the versatile bio-polymer chitosan.

Efficient Bayesian calibration of aerodynamic wind turbine models using surrogate modeling
Authors: Sanderse Benjamin , Dighe Vinit V. , Boorsma Koen , Schepers Gerard
Published: June 2021

Abstract. This paper presents an efficient strategy for the Bayesian calibration of parameters of aerodynamic wind turbine models. The strategy relies on constructing a surrogate model (based on adaptive polynomial chaos expansions), which is used to perform both parameter selection using global sensitivity analysis and parameter calibration with Bayesian inference. The effectiveness of this approach is shown in two test cases: calibration of airfoil polars based on the measurements from the DanAero MW experiments, and calibration of five yaw model parameters based on measurements on the New MEXICO turbine in yawed conditions. In both cases, the calibrated models yield results much closer to the measurement data, and in addition they are equipped with an estimate of the uncertainty in the predictions.
