Investigation on The Current Situation of Health Education Policy Implementation and Research on Development Countermeasures
Authors: Jiang Jianyu
Published: September 2022

According to my country's "Health Education and Health Promotion Work Plan Outline", health education is a planned, organized and systematic social education activity, so that people can consciously adopt behaviors and lifestyles that are beneficial to health, and eliminate or reduce the impact of health risk factors, disease prevention, health promotion, quality of life, and evaluation of educational outcomes. The core of health education is to educate people to establish health awareness, to urge people to change unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, and to develop good behaviors and lifestyles to reduce or eliminate risk factors that affect health. Health education should start from primary school, and different depths of health education and education courses should be offered in different school stages, so that students can form a complete social person with physical health, sound personality and mental health, and they are all-round development workers. This paper analyzes the implementation of health education in universities, middle and primary schools through the method of literature, finds out its existing problems, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to provide a theoretical basis for improving school health education.
On Chinese-English Translation Strategies of Null-subject Sentences
Authors: Zhu Jianbin , Feng Chuanzhen
Published: September 2022

With the on-going globalization, foreign publicity, to which translation is indispensable, has served as a showcase for countries to demonstrate their soft power. The foreign publicity translation is now of greater significance as Covid-19 is still raging across the globe and the international landscape remains confusing and changing. The null-subject sentence is a sentence pattern, widely used, in Chinese, while there is no equivalence in English. Therefore, in terms of its translation, translators should adopt strategies in a flexible way. This paper summarizes four strategies frequently used in translating null-subject sentences in foreign publicity materials: to add a subject to the sentence, to change the sentence from active voice to passive voice, to change the subject of the sentence, and to use the imperative sentence. Besides, this paper analyzes the source and target texts in the report. It aims at providing reference for translation of null-subject sentences in foreign publicity materials.
Research on the Employment Relationship of Retired Workers
Authors: Zhu Luobin
Published: September 2022

The article argues that "population aging" is a major problem facingChina today, and relevant laws and regulations need to keep up with the times. Closely linked to this is the increasing healthy life expectancy per capita and the expectation of most older people to continue working after retirement for the rest of their lives. There are a large number of elderly labor force in our country, and the idle labor resources of the elderly are a huge waste. There are a considerable number of retired re-employment groups in life, but the law of our country lacks protection for them. We should draw lessons from the laws and policies of other countries in the world and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the retired re-employment groups according to the actual situation of our country.
Educational interventions to improve emotional intelligence in nursing and medical students: A systematic review
Authors: Taylor Molly , Hoch Johanna , Porter Ke'La
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Emotional intelligence (EI) is a trainable skillset and has been shown to have a positive impact on clinician wellbeing, patient outcomes, and other personal and professional factors. This review aimed to evaluate and summarize current intervention strategies designed to improve EI in nursing and medical students.Results: Interventions varied by theme, content, learning activities, and duration. Nine different EI measurement instruments were utilized; learning outcomes were assessed by modified Kirkpatrick classifications. Nine out of 12 studies showed significant positive improvements in EI outcome measures post-intervention. Our review demonstrated moderate to high quality OCEBM level 1b and 2b evidence, moderate quality MERSQI/NOS-E risk of bias appraisal, and GRADE-defined desirable intervention effects with respect to positive modifications in Kirkpatrick identified learner perceptions and attitudes.Conclusions: Nearly all interventions resulted in positive change in EI. The greatest improvements resulted from intervention content relating to self-awareness, empathy, problem-solving, stress coping, and use/management of emotions, involved group-based learning activities, and were delivered in 10-15 hours spread over 8-12 weeks. No specific recommendations can be made about timing of interventions within nursing or medical professional curricula. Further research and development of objective behavioral EI skill assessments and patient outcomes is warranted.
Investigating the cost-effective energy efficiency practices with mitigated rebound: the case of energy intensive industries
Authors: Adel Barkhordar Zahra
Published: September 2022

The present study aims at finding a practical policy for reducing energy consumption in through simultaneous energy subsidy reduction and energy efficiency improvement. To be a practical solution, the efficiency practices should be chosen from feasible energy efficiency potentials. To mitigate the economy-wide rebound effect, energy price should be increased in accordance with efficiency enhancement.

The combination of a top-down dynamic general equilibrium model with a bottom-up efficiency improvement module is used to find the set of efficiency practices that should be realized in each period along with the required increase in energy prices. Choosing efficiency practices depends on their costs and on the available funds. The model is applied for the energy-intensive industries in Iran.

The model results show that over less than ten years, the energy efficiency of electrical and natural gas equipment in energy intensive industries of Iran can be increased by 12.7% and 18.1% respectively. The rebound effect starts with values above 80% and then falls below zero percent which indicates the success of the proposed policy in preventing the rebound effect. Results also demonstrate that the implementation of the policy realizes the 4% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 which is Iran's unconditional pledge.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on non-communicable chronic lifestyle diseases in population of India: A systematic review
Authors: Waseem Shah , Mehdi Syed , Abidi Ali
Published: September 2022

Background: Diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, heart diseases, and cancers are diseases of public health importance in India. People with pre-existing non communicable diseases (NCDs) are vulnerable to COVID and associated complications. Risk factors for NCDs were found to have increased due to pandemic.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the impact of the COVID 19 on chronic NCDs and life style diseases.

Materials and Methods: Articles from India published between March 2019 and May 2022 were searched from database such as PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar using MeSH and keywords such as “COVID 19” OR “Coronavirus” OR “SARS-2 CoVirus” AND Lifestyle diseases,” “COVID-19” OR “Coronavirus” OR “SARS-2 CoVirus” AND “Diabetes” OR “HYPERTENSION.” Summary of 18 articles was presented after inclusion and exclusion criterion and removing of duplicates.

Results: Risk of COVID 19 in people with pre-existing non-communicable diseases is high, prognosis is poor, and complications are higher. COVID 19 and lockdown measures resulted in restrictions of movements, dietary and sleep pattern changes, psycho social impacts, non-availability or difficulty in procuring medicines, accessibility to health-care facilities, burden on health-care facilities, difficulties in (using or lack of awareness) about tele-consultations facilities, and thus burden of NCDs is expected to rise in future.

Conclusions: COVID 19 pandemic had direct and indirect impact on screening, diagnosis and management of patients with NCDs. Burden of NCDs may rise thereby putting extra burden on health-care facilities which warrants preparedness.
Develop an Acoustic Device for Red Palm Weevil Early Detection
Authors: HM Mehanna
Published: September 2022

Early detection of the red palm weevils (RPW) is a major challenge in agriculture among all kinds of palm trees due to the nature of the insect and the difficulty to trace its infestation through the life stages associated with the tree life. Many methods have been applied for weevil detection such as X-ray diffraction techniques, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound. This research work aimed to develop a simple acoustic device for the early detection of the red palm weevil infestation; sound sensors and Arduino board were used for the recording process and some Pc programs have been used for extracting the recorded signal features under lab conditions and to evaluate the system in the field. Results under lab conditions indicated that Larva feeding sounds were a very good signature of the early recognition of RPW infestation. Many tests under field conditions were executed to record the sound inside 40 date palm trees once for 8 months, these date palm had not any symptoms of RPW infestation at the beginning, by using the developed system, the results revealed that there were only 8 date palm trees from 40 have not been detected by the system but the infestation appeared later on them with an error of 20% and efficiency 80% of the system. The developed device is a good tool for the early detection of RPW.
Recent Advancements in Vitrification Cryodevices for Gamete and Gonadal Tissue
Authors: Masrat-Un-Nisa  , Malik Asloob Ahmad , Sofi Khursheed Ahmad , Khatun Arjuma , Yousuf Nahida
Published: September 2022

Cryopreservation of gametes and gonadal tissue is nowadays primarily accomplished through vitrification. Variables such as cooling rate, viscosity and volume of vitrification solution are critical in gamete vitrification. In addition, sample size and stepwise exposure are also crucial for gonadal tissue vitrification. Recently a class of cryodevices has been developed to reduce the volume of vitrification solution so as to achieve higher cooling rates. Vitrification devices are classified as "open" or "closed" depending on whether the medium comes into direct contact with liquid nitrogen during the process. Examples of the open cryodevices for gamete vitrification are Cryotop, Cryolock, open pulled straw (OPS), etc., and closed devices are Vitrisafe, CryoTip, and high security vitrification kit. Similarly, for tissue vitrification open cryodevices used are needles, cryovials and closed devices used are Cryotissue, ovarian tissue cryosystem, etc. Among all the gamete cryodevices, Cryotop is unique and the best-selling micro-volume storage device. Use of this device has resulted in the highest number of babies born after embryo or oocyte vitrification. Another novel device, Kitasato vitrification system, is a vitrification solution absorber, which is similar to Cryotop but differs in one way, as it possesses a porous membrane that absorbs extra solution from the gamete. This review provides an update on the recent use of cryodevices for gamete and gonadal tissue vitrification.
Beneficial Effect of Melatonin Administration on the Function of Frozen-Thawed Rat Testicular Grafts
Authors: Zhang Jian-Min , Lu Xi-Lan , Wang Hong-Xia , Liu Zi-Chao
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Spermatogonia in testis is sensitive to the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy agents. Cryopreservation of testicular tissue may offer fertility restoration in young male cancer survivors. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of melatonin on the survival of testicular
grafts following cryopreservation and transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wister rats were randomly allocated into three groups: control group; saline group (cryopreservation + autograft + saline); and melatonin group (cryopreservation + autograft + melatonin). Malondialdehyde (MDA)
content, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were assessed on day 7 after autograft transplantation. At day 30, graft recovery, spermatogonia per round tubule, and serum testosterone concentration in grafts were measured. RESULTS: Melatonin
significantly diminished MDA content, enhanced GPx and SOD activities. Furthermore, the recovery rate, number of spermatogonia per round tubule, and serum testosterone concentration in melatonin group was markedly higher than the saline group. CONCLUSION: Melatonin administration at
20 mg/kg is effective in improving the function of frozen and thawed rat testicular graft. The protective role of melatonin can be attributed partly to the enhanced ROS scavenging and antioxidant enzyme activities.

Systemic Tasks in the Teaching of Inorganic Chemistry
Authors: Ganajová Mária , Sotáková Ivana , Dzurišinová Zuzana , Čtrnáctová Hana
Published: September 2022

The Systemic Approach in Teaching and Learning (SATL) involves an arrangement of concepts/problems into diagrams, which represent how they are linked. The goal of this paper is to present the systemic approach in teaching chemistry and provide examples of systemic tasks in terms of this approach on a selected topic from inorganic chemistry, i.e. s-block elements and their compounds. In accordance with SATL, systemic tasks in chemistry aim to verify and develop students' ability to determine the relationships and links between reactants and reaction conditions, as well as their ability to write down chemical reactions in the form of chemical equations. The paper compares the traditional approach to the creation of tasks, assignments, and the resulting mind maps with the systemic tasks. Thus, the evaluation of teachers' opinions on the pros and cons of the systemic tasks implementation into teaching are presented.

The available information on the Tertiary flora of eastern India is reviewed. The distribution of some genera between the middle Tertiary period and now shows a considerable difference, indicating a trend of migration towards south and east. But there are other genera which show little difference in their distribution.

A comparative study of the middle Tertiary flora of Europe, North America, the Indo-Malayan region and eastern India has been made and the general features in their vegetation are indicated.

No clue is yet available on the migration of some temperate genera to the hills of Indo-Malayan region.
The Morphology of Botryopteris Antiqua with some observations on Botryopteris Ramosa
Authors: Surange K.R.
Published: September 2022

In this paper a complete revised description of B. antiqua is given. The plant possesses two types of stems, dorsiventral and radial, and the dorsiventral gives rise to the radial at intervals. The radial stem gives rise to roots and petioles in spiral succession. A petiole branches sympodially and produces a frond-like branch system. The morphology of the dorsiventral stem is discussed in detail and it is shown that B. ramosa also possesses a similar organ. B. antiqua is compared with the Coal Measure species and it is shown how younger species could have been evolved from it and how a triarch leaf trace was developed. A comparison is also made with the leaf impressions from the Lower Carboniferous.

Reconstruction of the vegetative branches of Phyllotheca Etheridgei and P. Sahnii Saksena
Authors: Saksena Shivdayal
Published: September 2022

On the basis of the impressions of fragments of stems and old and young leaf-sheaths the vegetative branches of Phyllotheca Etheridgei Arber and P. Sahnii Saksena have been reconstructed in natural size diagrams. P. Etheridgei is an Australian species belonging to the New Castle Series (Upper Coal Measures) while P. Sahnii is an Indian species from the South Rewah Gondwana basin. The reconstruction of P. Sahnii is based considerably on the idea derived from the impressions of P. Etheridgei, as the fragmentary impressions of the Indian species are very similar to those of the Australian.

Studies in the Glossopteris flora of India - 11. Some observations on Vertebraria from the Lower Gondwana of India
Authors: Surange K.R. , Maheshwari Hari K.
Published: September 2022

Recently a large collection of Vertebrarias was made from Barakar and Raniganj Stages of the Lower Gondwanas. The specimens were studied for anatomical structures bv the "Dry Pull" method. One specimen from the Raniganj Stage shows anatomy different from that of V. indica and hence has been referred to a. new species V. raniganjensis. The collection also includes an axis cast with a small middle part not belonging to the xylem and which looks like a pith. As pith is not known in other species of Vertebraria, it has been given a new specific name V. myelonis. A specimen doubtfully referred to Ctenis by Srivastava (1954) has been found on reinvestigation to be a new species of Glossopteris -G. srivastavai. The anatomy of the midrib of G. srivastavai and V. raniganjensis is almost similar. It is probable that G. srivastavai was one of the leaves borne on an axis of V. raniganjensis.

The organization in pollengrains of some early conifers
Authors: Bharadwaj D.C.
Published: September 2022

The in situ pollen grains of Lebachia piniformis (Schloth. pars) Florin, Lebachia hypnoides (Brongn.) Florin, Ernestiodendron filiciforme (Schloth.) Florin, Walchianthus crassus Florin and W. cylindraceous Florin show a monosaccus which girdles the central body leaving its proximal and distal faces free from the saccus. A two-lipped, linear suture along the longer equatorial axis is mostly borne by the broader, bladder-free and evidently the proximal face. The distal face bears a broad sulcus usually lined by two folds lying across the longer equatorial axis in polar view of the flattened specimens. Saccus is distally inclined. This organization is shown to be different from that in the pollen grains of Cordaitales.
A preliminary survey of the post-glacial vegetational history of the Kashmir valley.
Authors: Singh Gurdip
Published: September 2022

Pollen-analytical investigations of Post-glacial deposits from four sites (Toshmaidan, Braman, Walanwar and Damamsar) distributed over the Kashmir Valley slopes of the Pirpanjal Range constitute the subject matter of this paper. The study reveals for the first time the Post-glacial vegetational history of the Kashmir Valley especially with regard to Post-glacial climatic alterations, biotic influences on vegetational development and the phytogeography of the region.

The sequence is divisible into eight stages. The forest history began with an open vegetation with conifer woods consisting of blue pine (Pinus wallichiana) and cedar (Cedrus deodara). During the ensuing period a set of warmth and moisture demanding broad-leaved elements such as oaks, alder, birch (Betula alnoides), elm, walnut, maple and Rhus immigrated indicating a climatic trend towards increasing warmth. Later, forests comprised dominantly of broad-leaved elements established themselves marking thereby a phase of optimum warmth which in turn was followed by the re-establishment of conifers, a fact pointing towards the return of colder conditions. The conifer woods were mainly comprised of Pinus wallichiana and Abies webbiana.

Some of the changes in the vegetational sequence are also believed to have been induced by man's direct or indirect influence on vegetation. Evidence of maize cultivation in the past has also been brought out. The bearing of this work on the history of some of the mesophytic elements such as Quercus spp., Alnus and Betula alnoides, which are today absent from the Kashmir Valley, is also discussed.

Stephanian floras in the coal districts of Czechoslovakia in the light of new geological investigations
Authors: Nemejc F.
Published: September 2022

Several most recent geological investigations, especially in the N. part of the Plzen coal-basin have shown that various coalseams, previously regarded as Upper Stephanian really belong to a much deeper horizon, being enclosed within the so called Lower Red Beds (i.e. the uppermost part of the Westphalian till the Lower Stephanian). This discovery led the author to a new evaluation of the various Stephanian floras in the Czechoslovakian coal basins. Four different biostratigraphically well-defined plant assemblages have been distinguished here during the time space between the uppermost Westphalian (i.e. the Nyrany coal series) and the Permian.
Investigations of North American cycadeoids: Microsporangiate structures and phylogenetic implications
Authors: Delevoryas Theodore
Published: September 2022

The microsporangiate structure of cycadeoid cones seems to have been composed of a fleshy portion, continuous and cup-shaped below and with separate distal members, each with a fleshy appendage at the distal region. This microsporangiate structure was probably derived from a phyletic fusion of separate sporophylls, the tips of which are still free, although compactly appressed to each other. Such an interpretation brings the cycadeoid cone closer to the williamsonian cone structure. Furthermore, certain cycadeoids seem to have had monosporangiate fruiting structures, including a cone described in this paper with only microsporangia, - another parallel with the williamsonias.
The Tertiary flora of India and probable disposition of continents
Authors: Chowdhury K.A. , Chowdhury K.A.
Published: September 2022

Rock magnetism of the Deccan Traps of India  consistently indicates the position of this land, during the early Eocene period, at about 30° south of the equator There is also evidence to show that the movement from that to the present position  has been  gradual An analysis of the Tertiary fossil woods of India, so far recorded, shows a general agreement with both these conclusions arrived at through palaeomagnetic investigation, and thus supports strongly continental drift in preference to polar wandering. Much more additional data are, however, necessary on palaeomagnetism and fossil plants before continental drift is accepted as an established theory.

A key for the identification of the known species of Terminalioxylon has been provided.
The Pluvial theory - An evolution in the light of new evidence, especially for Africa
Authors: Bakker E.M. van Zinderen
Published: September 2022

The recent evidence for former dry and more humid conditions in Africa has been discussed. These data are primarily of a biological nature. The explanation of the palaeoclimates of Africa should be based on the principle of "climatic actuality" as it will be impossible to explain the former climates without knowing those of the present day. The variations in temperature which have occurred simultaneously with the glacial history, should be taken into account in this respect.

Good, well-dated, proof has been found for hypothermal pluvials in some parts of Saharan and equatorial Africa. Convincing evidence has also been published for the existence of subpluvials of Neolithic (Atlantic) age in the Sahara. Dry interpluvial conditions of Wurmian age have been described for the Stanley-pool area and for Ethiopia.

In Africa there is a great need for many more C14 dates of material which is of ecological interest. More radiocarbon stations should be available for this purpose.
Pollen morphological studies of some primitive varieties of Maize (Zea Mays L.) with remarks on the history of Maize in India
Authors: Vishnu-Mittre  , Gupta H.P.
Published: September 2022

The paper describes the pollen statistics of ten primitive varieties of maize from Assam and Mexico. The pollen statistical data are used to recognize subfossil maize pollen from amongst the pollen of Cerealia recovered from the Postglacial deposits of Kashmir Valley.

The evidences of subfossil pollen, the archaeobotanical material and the occurrence of most primitive types of maize in Assam seem to suggest the occurrence of maize in India during the Pre-Columbian time.

Applanopsis, Araucariacites and Laricoidites are dominant genera in the assemblage. Cyathidites, Concavissimisporites, Lycopodiacidites, Lycopodiumsporites, Foveotriletes, I mpardecispora, Contignisporites, Alisporites and Podocarpidites are Subdominant. Trilobosporites, Matonisporites and Katrolaites are rare in the assemblage.
Studies of Post-glacial vegetational history from the Kashmir valley, 2. Baba Rishi and Yus Maidan
Authors: Sharma B.D. , Vishnu-Mittre
Published: September 2022

The paper presents result of pollen-analytical investigation at two sites in the middle altitude on the northern face of Pir Panjal. One of the sites, Yus Maidan, is a vast meadow surrounded by fir-blue pine forest and the other, the Baba Rishi swamp, is situated within the blue pine fir forest. The pollen diagrams from Yus Maidan reveal the encroachment of the forest at the site in the recent past whereas Baba Rishi site has been forested even before the origin of the swamp. Further, the pollen diagrams show that oaks existed as constituents of the forest and have been exterminated recently.

The quantitative studies have revealed that the 165-meter-thick bore core belongs to one seam and its mioflora is closely comparable with the mioflora of Upper Barakar Stage in Damuda basin.
Revision of some dipterocarpaceous woods previously described from the Tertiary of south India
Authors: Awasthi N.
Published: September 2022

The present paper consists of the revision of five species of fossil dipterocarpaceous woods, viz. Dipterocarpoxylon indicum, Shoreoxylon holdeni, S. mortandranse, S. megaporosum and Anisopteroxylon cuddalorense, described by Ramanujam (1956, 1960) from the Tertiary of South India, near Pondicherry, South Arcot district, Tamil Nadu (Madras). On re-investigation these were found very similar to the wood structure of the genus Dryobalanops Gaertn. f. and hence transferred to the genus DryobalanoxyIon Den Berger. The first species, i.e. Dipterocarpoxylon indicum, is renamed as Dryobalanoxylon indicum (Ramanujam) comb. nov., and the remaining four species, found identical with each other, are placed under Dryobalanoxylon holdeni (Ramanujam) comb. nov.
Petro-palynological study of the coals exposed near Gopal prasad of Talcher coalfield (Orissa), India
Authors: Navale G.K.B. , Srivastava S.C.
Published: September 2022

The samples collected from the exposed beds of coal near Gopal Prasad have been studied since no previous knowledge exists about the microstructure and microfossil contents of this coal.

The coals are typically dull, fine-grained and hard in nature. They are constituted by Vitrinite, Exinite, Inertinite organic macerals and sedimentary mineral matter. Among these Inertinite and mineral grains dominate the coal components. Rapid alternative bands of Durite and Carbargillite and increasing high percentage of mineral matter makes the coal duller and shaly.

Sporological analysis reveals that the coal consists of 20 genera including a number of trilete, monolete, monosaccate and bisaccate spores. The miospore assemblage dominates in striated bisaccate spores with subdominance of non-striaten pollen. Trilete miospores are less common, while monosaccates are rare. The common striated bisaccate genera are Faunipollenites, Striatopodocarpites, Lahirites and Striatites while nonstriated bisaccate genus is Sulcatisporites.

Petro-palynologically, compared with the Lower Seam and Upper Seam No. 1 of Talcher Coalfield and others, the coals are of very inferior quality and referable to Upper Barakar Stage in Lower Gondwana sequence.

Authors: Kar R.K. , Singh R.Y. , Sah S.C.D.
Published: September 2022

Attention is drawn to the occurrence of some algal and fungal remains from the Tura Formation of Garo Hills, Assam. The algal microplanktons comprise 7 genera with one species each. The genera Oligosphaeridium, Achomosphaera, Hystrichosphaera and Hystrichosphaeridium are well represented while the remaining genera are present in lesser frequencies. The fungal remains are represented by 8 genera and 10 species. One of the genera, viz. Cucurbitariaceites is new and is commonly found in the assemblage. The other genera that are commonly found are Parmathyrites, Phragmothyrites, Callimothallus and Notothyrites. Stratigraphical value of these remains, if any, will have to wait till the completion of successional studies now in progress.

The presence of algal microplanktons indicates a brackish-water environment of deposition.
Sancho de Muñón y las innovaciones literarias en el ciclo celestinesco: a propósito de una nueva edición de la Cuarta Celestina
Authors: Vian Herrero Ana
Published: September 2022

Este texto alaba la labor de Rosa Navarro respecto al estudio de Sancho Sánchez de Muñón, autor de Tragicomedia de Lisandro y Roselia, la cuarta Celestina. Esta cambia diversos rasgos esenciales de La Celestina original, incluyendo más dramatismo, haciendo las intervenciones más breves y frescas y marcando mejor el cambio de registros de cada clase social. También añade temáticas de crítica social más profundos y numerosos que Rojas. No solo arremete contra las alcahuetas y los privilegios de las clases altas, sino contra las injusticias, la hipocresía social, el papel del clero, entre muchos otros. Son muchas las influencias que Muñón obtuvo para esta obra y Rosa Navarro se encarga de señalarlas con precisión, además de incluir bibliografía y de analizar la composición y las cíclicas anteriores.
Jorge Semprún, arquetipo del escritor bilingüe con vida e historia europeas y paradigma de la literatura concentracionaria
Authors: López de Abiada José Manuel
Published: September 2022

Este artículo necrológico rinde homenaje al autor Jorge Semprún, considerado arquetipo y paradigma del escritor europeo. Fue una figura visible que participó en controversias culturales, literarias, ideológicas y teóricas. Contribuyó con una obra literaria en la que fluyen, a partes iguales, la calidad, el oficio y la capacidad innovadora. En cuanto a sus vivencias, fue testigo de la barbarie que campaba en el archipiélago de los campos de concentración nazis, de la que años después él mismo daría medido y exhaustivo testimonio. Semprún fue, efectivamente, actuario solícito, fiscal implacable y recto juez del mal radical.
Menéndez Pelayo y Lope de Vega. Crónica de un Seminario dedicado a dos genios
Authors: Fernández González Alejandro
Published: September 2022

En 2011 se celebró en el Palacio de la Magdalena un seminario para recordar las figuras del polígrafo y estudioso santanderino, Menéndez Pelayo, y Lope de Vega. Se llevaron a cabo diferentes conferencias a lo largo de varios días. La conferencia de inauguración fue: «Lope de Vega según Menéndez Pelayo: la lucha por el canon». A través de las diversas ponencias, se puso de manifiesto la genialidad del trabajo de los dos autores. Un ejemplo de ello fue evolución y clasificación que Menéndez Pelayo hizo de los Autos de Lope de Vega. La última de las mesas redondas se refiere a «La consideración de Lope de Vega desde Menéndez Pelayo hasta nuestros días».
Menéndez Pelayo y la lírica del Siglo de Oro
Authors: Déz de Rervenga Francisco Javier
Published: September 2022

En este artículo se expone la opinión de Menéndez Pelayo respecto a autores del Siglo de Oro. Destacan tres obras en las que el autor habló de la lírica española del Siglo de Oro: Horacio en España, escrito en 1877; en su discurso de 1881, leído el día 6 de marzo ante la Real Academia Española; y en los capítulos de la Historia de las ideas estéticas en España, comenzada en 1883, centrado en los siglos XVI y XVII. Asimismo, también cabe destacar la opinión de dos autores, Gerardo Diego y Dámaso Alonso, acerca de Menéndez Pelayo y sus estudios. Aunque Menéndez Pelayo era considerado un erudito, los autores pertenecientes a la Generación del 27 discrepaban en la concepción infravalorada que hacía el estudioso de Góngora.
Honrando a los poetas y gozando de su genio: Menéndez Pelayo frente a Núñez de Arce y la poesía de su tiempo
Authors: Gutiérrez Sebastián Raquel
Published: September 2022

El artículo tiene como objetivo presentar la opinión de Menéndez Pelayo acerca de la poesía de su tiempo y, más concretamente, la de Núñez de Arce. El polígrafo cántabro se fijaba en diferentes aspectos a la hora de hacer una crítica de la poesía, como en la traducción, la importancia de sus gustos clasicistas o su interés por la lengua catalana. La labor poética de Núñez de Arce fue seguida de cerca por Pelayo y sus críticas eran elogiosas, pero con algunos matices. Califica la poesía de Núñez como social, ya que introduce en sus composiciones los temas políticos, históricos y patrióticos. No obstante, le critica que explique el contenido y finalidad de las composiciones y reprocha que busque la inspiración en las adiciones a obras de Dante o Lord Byron, en lugar de en las originales. Pese a todo, don Marcelino resalta la figura de Núñez de Arce como la de un gran poeta lírico.
Menéndez Pelayo y las mujeres: Joaquina Viluma
Authors: Ayala Mª. de los Ángeles
Published: September 2022

El artículo lleva a cabo un análisis sobre los aspectos más personales e íntimos de la vida de Menéndez Pelayo, en concreto, su relación con las mujeres. La popularidad del polígrafo con las mujeres de la nobleza era notable; sin embargo, no tuvo suerte en el amor. En el texto se recogen sus amoríos y desventuras con diferentes mujeres, enmascaradas bajo seudónimos como Hipatía, Ródopis, Raquel, Lydia, Aglagia, La Rabina o Semíramis. Sin embargo, hubo una mujer con la que mantuvo una extensa correspondencia: Joaquina Viluma. Con ella hablaba de lo personal y de lo literario, lo que demuestra la complicidad y amistad que tenían.

José María Lafuente (ed.). “Correspondencia Julio Maruri - Pablo Beltrán de Heredia (1950-2004)”. Santander: Ediciones La Bahía, 2009.
Authors: Crespo de Lara Pedro
Published: September 2022

El libro que se comenta en esta reseña es una recopilación de la comunicación epistolar entre Julio Maruri y Pedro Beltrán de Heredia, dos escritores memorables de Santander, amigos íntimos que, durante toda su vida, conservaron su amistad a través de cartas, en las que hablaban de cualquier tema. Leyéndolas se pueden inferir sus personalidades y la calidad humana que ambos poseían. Maruri y Beltrán de Heredia tenían en común haber vivido fuera de Santander y de España, y a ambos les costó que se los reconociera como poeta e intelectual respectivamente. La reseña ahonda en sus personas y concluye que, leyendo esta edición de sus epístolas, se aprenden muchísimas cosas, tanto de ellos como de sus vidas, su contexto, y de conceptos intrínsecamente humanos y comunes a todos los lectores, por lo que la lectura resulta siempre enriquecedora.
