Authors: Khanal Sujan , Toohey Matthew , Bourassa Adam , McElroy C. Thomas , Sioris Christopher , Walker Kaley A.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The Measurement of Aerosol Extinction in the Stratosphere and Troposphere Retrieved by Occultation (MAESTRO) instrument on the SCISAT satellite provides aerosol extinction measurements in multiple solar wavelength bands. In this study, we evaluate the quality and utility of MAESTRO version 3.13 stratospheric aerosol extinction retrievals, from February 2004–February 2021, through comparison with measurements from other satellite instruments. Despite significant scatter in the MAESTRO data, we find that gridded median MAESTRO aerosol extinctions and stratospheric aerosol optical depth (SAOD) values are generally in good agreement with those from other instruments during volcanically quiescent periods. After volcanic eruptions and wildfire injections, gridded median MAESTRO extinction and SAOD are well-correlated with other measurement sets, but generally biased low by 40–80 %. The Ångström exponent (AE), which can provide information on aerosol particle size, is derived from the MAESTRO spectral extinction measurements in the lowermost stratosphere, showing perturbations after volcanic eruptions qualitatively similar to SAGE III for the eruptions of Ambae (2018) and Uluwan (2019). Differences in AE anomalies after the 2019 extratropical Raikoke eruption may be due to the different spatiotemporal sampling of the two instruments. Furthermore, we introduce a method to adjust MAESTRO extinction data based on comparison with extinction measurements from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) during the period from June 2017 to February 2021, resulting in improved comparison during volcanically active periods. Our work suggests that empirical bias-correction may enhance the utility of MAESTRO aerosol extinction data, which can make it a useful complement to existing satellite records, especially when multi-wavelength solar occultation data from other instruments are unavailable.
Ambient and Intrinsic Dependencies of Evolving Ice-Phase Particles within a Decaying Winter Storm During IMPACTS
Authors: DeLaFrance Andrew , McMurdie Lynn , Rowe Angela , Heymsfield Andrew
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Mesoscale bands develop within winter cyclones as concentrated regions of locally enhanced radar reflectivity, often producing intensified precipitation rates lasting several hours. Surface precipitation characteristics are governed by the microphysical properties of the ice-phase particles aloft, yet their unique microphysical evolutionary pathways and ambient environmental dependencies in banded regions remain poorly understood, in part due to a paucity of observations within natural clouds. Addressing this need, the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms recently measured properties of winter cyclones from airborne in situ and remote sensing platforms. Observations collected within a banded region of a decaying-stage northeast United States cyclone revealed a microphysical pathway characterized by precipitation fallout from a weak generating cell layer through an ~2 km deep subsaturated downdraft region. Sublimation was a dominant evolutionary process, resulting in > 70 % reduction of the initial ice water content (IWC). This vertical evolution was reproduced by a 1D particle-based model simulation constrained by observations, conveying accuracy in the process representation. Four sensitivity simulations assessed evolutionary dependencies based on observationally-informed perturbations of the ambient relative humidity, RH, and vertical air motion, w. Perturbations of ~2 % RH significantly varied the resultant IWC loss, as much as 29 %, whereas comparable perturbations of w had negligible effects. Intrinsic particle evolution during sublimation demonstrated a notable imprint on vertical profiles of radar reflectivity, but Doppler velocity was more strongly governed by the ambient w profile. These findings contextualize radar-based discrimination of sublimation from other ice-phase processes, including riming and aggregation.
Monoterpene oxidation pathways initiated by acyl peroxy radical addition

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Monoterpenes are released into the atmosphere in significant quantities, where they undergo various oxidation reactions. Despite extensive studies in this area, there are still gaps that need to be addressed to fully understand the oxidation processes occurring in the atmosphere. Recent findings suggest that reactions between alkenes and acyl peroxy radicals can be competitive under atmospheric conditions. In this study, we investigate the oxidation reactions of seven monoterpenes with acyl peroxy radicals and the subsequent diverse reactions, including accretion, alkyl radical rearrangements, H-shift, and β-scissions reactions. The accretion reaction leads to the release of excess energy, which is sufficient to open small secondary rings in the alkyl radical structures. This reaction is most significant for sabinene (39 %) and α-thujene (20 %). A competing reaction is O2 addition, which the majority of alkyl radicals undergo, subsequently leading to the formation of peroxy radicals. These then react further, forming alkoxy radicals that can subsequently undergo β-scission reactions. Our calculations show that for β-pinene, camphene, and sabinene, β-scission rearrangements result in radicals capable of undergoing further propagation of the oxidative chain, while for limonene, α-pinene and α-thujene, scissions leading to closed-shell products that terminate the oxidative chain are preferred. The results indicate that if reactions of monoterpenes with acyl peroxy radicals are indeed competitive under atmospheric conditions, their oxidation would lead to more oxygenated compounds with a higher molar mass, potentially contributing to secondary organic aerosol yields. Moreover, this study highlights the significance of stereochemistry in controlling the oxidation of monoterpenes initiated by acyl peroxy radicals.
Spy4Cast v1.0: a Python Tool for statistical seasonal forecast based on Maximum Covariance Analysis
Authors: Duran-Fonseca Pablo , Rodríguez-Fonseca Belén
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Maximum Covariance Analysis (MCA) is a well known discriminant analysis technique used for finding coupled patterns in climate data. This is a powerful tool that has been applied to the study of teleconnections, by reducing all possible relationships between a predictor and a predictand field to a few modes of covariability patterns. MCA can be used to provide statistical forecasts, which can complement predictions performed with dynamical models. Nevertheless, the power of this tool relies on its application in a productive and easy way, as it can be applied to the huge climate data-sets available. Spy4Cast is an open-source interface (API), implemented in Python, that contains a MCA-based statistical model to be used for seasonal forecast. Its main goal is to increase automation and productivity. Spy4Cast enables large data-set manipulation and also performs basic tasks like region slicing and plotting. The methodology consists on an initial configuration (data-set reading and slicing) and preprocessing that prepares the data to be fed into MCA, crossvalidation and validation. It acts upon any kind of predictor and predicting variables that can come from any source of data. Spy4Cast analyses the model sensitivity to particular years, including a diagnosis of the stability of the obtained modes to particular outliers. Finally, the spatial and temporal skill, in terms of anomaly correlation coefficient is obtained and a hindcast is provided. The software is easily accessible through a python package and well documented for beginners and experienced programmers. Only a reduced number of third-party libraries are needed, and they are those widely used in data-science and physics.
Project-based Learning in a Geomatics Bachelor Program: A Digital Heritage Preservation Project
Authors: Ladai Andras
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Like in most bachelor engineering programs, the education of geomatics students typically begins with an extensive theoretical introduction covering fundamental subjects. The general objective of the bachelor program is to cultivate geomatics engineers with robust hands-on knowledge. Nevertheless, the progression to a stage where students can independently engage in exercises with minimal supervision is a long process. Although field work-based practices are dominant in this field, they often entail activities limited to testing, experimenting, and the application of basic theories. While this approach is efficient in imparting routine knowledge, it may lead to the fragmentation of acquired knowledge, thereby lacking a comprehensive understanding of the broader significance and context. Students often encounter more complex challenges when commencing work on their bachelor thesis, leading to a steep learning curve within a constrained timeframe. This late exposure to real-world tasks can be a limiting factor, hindering a smoother transition from education to professional work. This paper provides a case study of project-based learning (PjBL) within a geomatics bachelor program. Specifically, it discusses a digital heritage preservation project where students documented an old Norwegian log house throughout the autumn semester of 2023. The outcomes of this learning approach are analyzed with the help of the key features of the PjBL methodology, focusing on students' learning outcomes and their assessment measures.
Nationwide Assessment of Solar PV Power Potential Using Geospatial Data and Collaborative Research with Higher Education Institutions: Case of the Philippines
Authors: Principe Jeark A. , Bauzon Ma. Divina Angela I. , Sotto Marielle E. , Cañete Jayson M.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Geospatial technologies present a significant opportunity to assess solar photovoltaic (PV) power potential through remote sensing techniques and geospatial analysis. This aligns with the goal of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy, one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that the Philippine National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) aims to achieve. In support of the said SDG, a research project, called Project SINAG, has developed a method for estimating solar PV power resources utilizing high-temporal remotely-sensed data. The primary objectives of this study are twofold: first, to develop a webGIS platform for solar energy resource information access and decision support; second, to conduct information dissemination and capacitybuilding activities for various stakeholders in the solar energy sector. The localized assessment of solar PV power potential incorporates meteorological and geomorphological factors such as high temperature, dust deposition, and slope. Collaboration with academic institutions, government agencies, and the solar energy industry has been instrumental in providing capacity-building through training workshops, internships, and on-the-job training. Moreover, the project has produced information, education, and communication (IEC) materials, launched a webGIS portal, and supported data requests and student research. The webGIS platform serves as the primary information dissemination tool for the project, enabling rapid sharing of research outputs with end-users. To enhance the platform, future developments may include additional functionalities such as community forums, client feedback mechanisms, mobile application development, and the integration of real-time data for map layers and forecasting tools.
Coral Bleaching Detection Using PRISMA Hyperspectral Satellite Imagery in Calatagan, Batangas
Authors: Rivera Francesca Deighl , Buenavista Ginell Elyza , Tamondong Ayin , Blanco Ariel
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Coral bleaching arises due to stress from warming seas and pollution. Several studies on bleaching detection utilize multispectral imagery, due to data availability. In this study, the usage of PRISMA hyperspectral data imagery was assessed for coral bleaching detection in Calatagan, Batangas, and sea surface temperature (SST) for confirming bleaching occurrence. In-situ measurements were gathered for spectral data of live and bleached corals, and a collaborative qualitative data interview with a coral bleach patroller and municipal office was conducted to gain further information about bleaching details in the area. Sentinel-2 L2A was also used for comparison during classification. Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) was utilized for image classification, while using field data and data from related studies for spectral library. A total of 27.12% relative to the coral reef area was classified as bleached corals. T-test statistics were done to analyze the live and bleached corals, which exhibited that only two (2) bands in the green region were found to be not separable. Using box plots, bleached corals showed to have generally lower reflectance values than live corals for RGB region, as compared to Sentinel, with bleached having higher values, which implies that spatial resolution can affect the spectral response of different features. Using ground truth data, 60.6% user’s accuracy for bleached corals, and 63.4% overall accuracy is achieved. Hence, hyperspectral satellite imagery can be utilized in coral bleaching detection, despite its limitations. Depth variables and diverse sample points are recommended for the betterment of coral bleaching detection.
Leveraging Spatial Analysis Techniques for Developing a Climate Resilient and Localized Urban Greening Plan for Pasig City
Authors: Ibañez Carlyn Ann , Palec Lorenz , Argamosa Reginald Jay , Arceo Giezel Marie
Published: November 2024

Abstract. A recent study has been conducted to evaluate the current state of green spaces in Pasig City, Philippines, and to propose a Climate Resilient and Localized Urban Greening Plan (CRLUGP) to address urban greening that is essential for creating sustainable cities, especially in the face of climate change and urban population growth. The study utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and Machine Learning (ML) to map green spaces, analyze climate risks, and identify necessary corrective measures. The findings revealed that Pasig City currently only has 70.18 hectares of green space, which is significantly below the World Health Organization's recommended minimum of nine (9) square meters of green space per capita. Projections indicate that by 2032, the city will need 925.72 hectares of green space to meet the needs of its growing population. Additionally, the study identified a connection between low canopy cover and increased urban heat island effects, with the top 10 barangays showing a canopy cover of only 27.64%, well below the recommended 40%. Moreover, areas with limited green spaces were found to be at a higher risk of flooding, highlighting the importance of more vegetation for managing stormwater and mitigating climate-related risks. The study recommends a strategic approach to urban greening, leveraging spatial analysis for continuous monitoring and evaluation. By integrating spatial technologies and data-driven decision-making, Pasig City aims to establish a more sustainable and resilient urban environment for its residents.
DRONES4BLUECARBONSEAGRASS: A Capacity-Building Program for Mapping Seagrasses using Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Technology in the Philippines
Authors: Candido Christian , Blanco Ariel , Tamondong Ayin , Martinez Kayziel , Nadaoka Kazuo
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Coastal blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangrove forests and seagrass meadows, are important for various environmental functions, serving as habitats, food sources, and carbon sinks. Despite their importance, seagrass ecosystems are experiencing global decline due to numerous stressors, including anthropogenic activities. To address this, effective monitoring and management strategies are crucial. Traditional in situ surveys for seagrass monitoring are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Alternatively, remote sensing technologies, particularly satellite imagery, offer a more efficient means of mapping seagrass distribution over large areas. However, accurately assessing seagrass cover at a local scale remains challenging with satellite data alone. Recently, unmanned aerial system (UAS) technology has emerged as a promising approach for seagrass mapping. With its fine resolution and flexibility for image acquisition, UAS can provide more precise estimates of seagrass cover, complementing satellite data. This integration enhances accuracy assessments and expands data availability for training and validation purposes. Under the BlueCARES Project, a drone training program was developed to equip stakeholders with the skills needed for cost-effective UAS-based seagrass mapping. The drone training program encompasses lectures on UAS basics, flight planning, and image processing. Beyond training, collected data are used to create seagrass maps and assess seagrass density. This initiative not only advances seagrass conservation but also fosters collaboration between government agencies, academia, and local communities to achieve sustainable management of blue carbon ecosystems.
Brief communication: Monitoring impending slope failure with very high-resolution spaceborne synthetic aperture radar
Authors: Manconi Andrea , Bühler Yves , Stoffel Andreas , Gaume Johan , Zhang Qiaoping , Tolpekin Valentyn
Published: November 2024

Abstract. We demonstrate how high spatial and temporal resolution spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery can improve slope deformation monitoring. We process ICEYE data over the Brienz/Brinzauls slope instability in the Swiss Alps, where a catastrophic failure occurred on 15 June 2023. Image correlation applied to retrieve surface velocities shows results comparable to in situ measurements. Pre- and post-failure acquisitions used to map areas invaded by debris and to compute associated volumetric changes are in good agreement with photogrammetric data. This study sets the baseline for new-generation satellite SAR data aimed at providing timely information in landslide early warning scenarios.
The Record Linking Glass Ceiling. Applying Automated Methods to the Census and Women’s Marriage Records, 1881–1911
Authors: Diduch Emma
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the results of a project creating a linked dataset of census and civil registration records from the county of Derbyshire, England. The proposed method includes women at every stage, first by comparing the performance of deterministic, probabilistic, and household-based linking methods and then expanding the linking process to capture women who have changed names between censuses due to marriage. In census-to-census linking the best results are obtained through a combination of probabilistic and household-based methods, linking between 40% and 45% of the starting population in each decade 1881–1911. The quality of these links and possible impacts of migration patterns are discussed with reference to the representativeness of the linked sample. Incorporating transcribed indexes of marriages (which are freely available online) allows women to be followed in the census across their marriages. Combined, this process reduces the gap in linking success between women and men and especially improves match rates for women in their twenties by between fifteen and twenty percentage points. These data have important potential for future record linking efforts and for research exploring women's work, marriage, and fertility in a life course perspective.

“Complicit Concealments”: Developing ecological consciousness in Sally Abbott’s Closing Down (2017) and Briohny Doyle’s Echolalia (2021)
Authors: Holdsworth Chris , Wilson Rohan
Published: November 2024

This article explores the challenges faced by climate fiction writers who address human responses to climate change, emphasising the need to expose the underlying political and economic mechanisms of the climate crisis. It builds on the critique offered by theorists Adam Trexler, Timothy Clark, Mark Fisher and Amitav Ghosh, highlighting the risk of climate fiction novels becoming “complicit concealments” if they fail to focus on the principle drivers of the carbon economy – overconsumption, economic growth and market-based thinking. We analyse a growing trend in Australian climate fiction, where connections between neoliberal capitalism and climate change are becoming major themes. Novels like Sally Abbott’s Closing Down (2010) and Briohny Doyle’s Echolalia (2021) represent characters’ relations to society and the economy and try to capture the complex realities of climate change. Based on this analysis, we propose the concept of “ecological consciousness” as a potential narrative strategy for writers, building on the Marxist concept of class consciousness, which extends awareness beyond traditional class dynamics to encompass the interconnectedness of humans with the environment. The article concludes by emphasising the strength and versatility of this approach, showcasing its potential for providing a holistic perspective on societal and environmental dynamics in climate fiction.
Reinterpretando el mito: el ave fénix y Santa Eulalia de Bóveda
Authors: Cela Álvarez Brais
Published: November 2024

Desde un origen pagano, el mito del fénix evolucionará hacia una configuración plenamente cristiana, gracias a la autoridad de figuras como Tertuliano o Lactancio. La riqueza iconográfica del motivo está determinada por su marcado carácter polisémico, debido a la atención prestaba por distintos autores y artistas a las distintas etapas del ciclo del ave. El presente trabajo pretende analizar la fortuna del motivo a lo largo de los siglos VI-VII, con especial atención por la doble representación del ave en Santa Eulalia de Bóveda (Lugo). A partir de una lectura iconográfica del conjunto, se pretende establecer una nueva hipótesis de interpretación basada en la conexión entre el ave fénix y el rito del bautismo.
Doña Juana la Loca de Francisco Pradilla, relato nacional en lienzo y verso
Authors: Martín Barrachina Antonio
Published: November 2024

Francisco Pradilla obtuvo un éxito extraordinario con Doña Juana la Loca, única Medalla de Honor en una Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes (1878), síntesis y culminación del género de la pintura de historia, comienzo de una nueva manera de pintar que marcaría su ulterior desarrollo. El triunfo del cuadro llevó al dramaturgo y poeta Marcos Zapata a escribir, el mismo año, “La reina loca”, en que el lienzo de Pradilla es convertido en verso. Publicado en el Novísimo romancero español, se recupera este romance olvidado y también un soneto dedicado al pintor por el periodista Mariano de Cavia, que ilustran el éxito del cuadro, su recepción y alcance en otras artes, y la sociabilidad entre los artistas. Analiza así este ensayo la relación de Doña Juana la Loca con el relato nacional en un doble nivel. Primero, en el marco estético e histórico de la interpretación liberal de la historia de España por parte de la historiografía decimonónica. A continuación, se analiza la recreación del lienzo en verso. El cuadro de Pradilla se incorpora al romancero, género capital, como la pintura de historia, para la construcción de la nación. El romance trasciende la mera écfrasis y articula el mismo significado del cuadro por procedimiento homólogos a la composición pictórica. El diálogo de la pintura con la poesía, que subraya la índole eminentemente narrativa de la pintura de historia, revela que en la pretendida canonización de unos temas y un imaginario como modelos para el entendimiento de la idea de España juegan un papel fundamental el arte y la literatura, medios de expresión que canalizan el relato nacional. El triple diálogo que se establece entre pintura, literatura e historiografía ilumina el significado de Doña Juana la Loca como relato nacional en lienzo y verso.
Imaginar Egipto. Un relato de viajes, experiencias, arqueología y arte a través de la fotografía orientalista del siglo XIX
Authors: Martínez Muñiz Pablo
Published: November 2024

Egipto fue durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX el destino de Oriente Próximo más apreciado por los fotógrafos. Su intere´s venía determinado por su milenaria historia -reflejada en los monumentos y ruinas del Egipto faraónico y del Egipto islámico- y su destacada situación geográfica, puente entre Oriente y Occidente. Estos aspectos fueron el germen para la configuración de un relato orientalista de imágenes en el que se mezclaban aventura, experiencias y erudición. La aparición del turismo, con los primeros tours organizados por Thomas Cook en Egipto y Palestina a partir de 1868, no hizo más que acrecentar dicho interés y generó una demanda de fotografías, pues los turistas, las adquirían como recuerdos del viaje en los estudios fotográficos del Cairo o Alejandría. El presente artículo imagina Egipto a través de las imágenes hechas por los fotógrafos viajeros y estudios locales. Se analizan unas imágenes muchas veces vinculadas a investigaciones arqueológicas, pero también íntimamente relacionadas con el concepto del viaje a Oriente o grand tour oriental. Además se pone énfasis en la aparición de los primeros estudios fotográficos en la región oriental del Mediterráneo, principalmente en El Cairo y Alejandría. El presente artículo imagina Egipto a través de las imágenes hechas por los fotógrafos viajeros europeos y los estudios locales. Unas imágenes relacionadas con el concepto del viaje a Oriente o grand tour oriental, en las que se presta atención al carácter a menudo estereotipado de muchas de estas imágenes, que dieron lugar a una visión del otro —el árabe—, pero en las que también se puede apreciar la representación de un territorio, un paisaje, unas personas y unos modos de vida que conformaban un particular mapeo del Egipto del siglo XIX.
El “gótico vascongado”: arqueología de un concepto historiográfico.
Authors: Mendaza Riaño Josu
Published: November 2024

El concepto de “gótico vascongado” hace tiempo que dejó de tener vigencia dentro de la historiografía española. Sin embargo, durante el siglo XX, este término sirvió para referirse a una agrupación de iglesias con planta de salón, idiosincráticas del País Vasco en la Edad Moderna. Formalizado por Vicente Lampérez en 1909, tuvo cierto recorrido dentro de la historiografía vasca, y, no por casualidad, también en cierta parte de la historiografía extranjera. Aunque, desde sus mismos inicios, la idea se miró con recelo, fue rechazada por muchos, y pocas veces reivindicada como una idea coherente para el análisis de las hallenkirchen vascas. ¿Qué es lo que puede hacernos ahora volver sobre ella? Como casi todos los conceptos historiográficos, el “gótico vasco” está cargado de una serie de valores, ideas afines y construcciones abstractas de las que muchas veces no somos conscientes. Este artículo se centrará en analizar sus orígenes bibliográficos, las tradiciones intelectuales sobre las que se asienta, los componentes identitarios que la conforman, las implicaciones ideológicas y los usos historiográficos que ha tenido, lo que tal vez permita reflexionar sobre cómo se ha construido cierta parte de la historiografía del arte en el País Vasco, y, en general, las historiografías nacionales.
Tres críticas a “Primitivism” in 20th Century Art: la impugnación posmoderna del concepto de “afinidad”
Authors: Rodríguez García Pablo
Published: November 2024

El presente artículo analiza los fundamentos discursivos de la polémica exposición Primitivism in 20th Century Art, celebrada en el MoMA (1984/1985) y comisariada por William Rubin. Así mismo, examina por orden de publicación las tres principales críticas articuladas en su contra, escritas por Thomas McEvilley, James Clifford y Hal Foster. Estos autores manifestaron una sólida conciencia posmoderna al identificar en Primitivism in 20th Century Art los axiomas más perniciosos del discurso ilustrado de la modernidad occidental, en el que cual se incluye el relato formalista del arte moderno. Entre estos axiomas destacan la pretensión universal de las tesis de William Rubin; la comprensión del Otro cultural como sujeto no histórico; la canonización de Picasso como genio del primitivismo; el sentido teleológico-lineal del progreso artístico; la lógica de autonomía y autorrealización del arte occidental. También se señalarán y comentarán las principales diferencias argumentales de los textos de McEvilley, Clifford y Foster, así como sus aspectos más característicos. Se pondrá, pues, de manifiesto que la crítica poscolonial de Thomas McEvilley está vehiculada por un imperfecto relativismo cultural, ya que el crítico asume ciertas categorías esencialistas de la narrativa de Primitivism. Respecto al texto de James Clifford se destacará la continuidad de su discurso crítico con algunas metodologías de la Global Art History, sobre todo con aquellas que atañen al replanteamiento de paradigmas histórico-temporales y a la comprensión transcultural de las prácticas artísticas. En cuanto a la crítica de Hal Foster, se distinguirán ciertos recursos conceptuales que vertebran su pensamiento como teórico; del mismo modo, se profundizará tanto en su singular interpretación del primitivismo como en sus formulaciones contra-discursivas.

Arquitectura y narración en Baile en máscara de Paret y Alcázar. Espacio y representación gráfica para la teatralización de un evento social dieciochesco
Authors: Villarreal-Colunga Carlos , Martínez-Díaz Ángel
Published: November 2024

Luis Paret y Alcázar es un pintor que ha despertado recientemente un renovado interés crítico. Baile en máscara es una de sus obras más estimadas, tanto por sus valores puramente pictóricos, como por su capacidad documental y argumental acerca de un determinado momento y lugar históricos.
El artículo atiende a esta obra desde una perspectiva que tiene a la arquitectura y a su narración como marco de referencia fundamental. En primer lugar, se indaga en torno al espacio representado, generalmente identificado como teatro del Príncipe, comparando la información que ofrece la pintura con la derivada del estudio de la propia arquitectura a partir de la consulta de expedientes de archivo y de cierta bibliografía habitualmente desatendida. En segundo lugar, se analizan los recursos de construcción de la imagen y de sus efectos en el posicionamiento del receptor de la obra.
Desde la argumentación previa, se concluye que el espacio pintado por Paret refleja el coliseo del Príncipe, pero según su estado reformado para convertirlo en salón de baile en 1767. Se aporta, además, la reconstitución gráfica conclusiva de su forma. Asimismo, desde la interpretación de los recursos gráfico-narrativos de la obra, se evidencia su carácter “teatral a la italiana”.
Geneaologie formali nelle narrazioni degli autori-editori: Scelte stilistiche e tematiche ricorrenti nella memorialistica editoriale
Authors: De Cristofaro Marco
Published: November 2024

L’articolo si propone di indagare le “memorie editoriali” come uno specifico genere letterario afferente all’orizzonte delle scritture del sé. Dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento, infatti, con le Memorie di un editore di Gaspero Barbèra, fino ad oggi, in cui registriamo una grande diffusione di scritti autobiografici di editori-autori italiani, come Calasso, Bompiani e Ferri, la memorialistica editoriale è stata contraddistinta da una serie di elementi formali e approcci strutturali ricorrenti. Pur nella diversità degli orizzonti creativi, il ritorno costante di determinati tratti induce ad analizzare complessivamente le opere. Il saggio analizza le scelte stilistiche e tematiche all’interno di alcuni testi di editori-autobiografi italiani dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento ad oggi. L’obiettivo è quello di individuare elementi testuali che permettano di avere uno sguardo di insieme su questo specifico genere letterario, capace di contribuire con una prospettiva nuova agli studi sulla storia dell’editoria.
Capacità nascoste. Riflessioni sui supercrip
Authors: Patat Ellen
Published: November 2024

Il presente elaborato propone alcune riflessioni sulla disabilità, in particolare sui supercrip (ovvero i superdisabili), analizzando i venticinque racconti di Capacità nascoste. La prima antologia diversamente thriller (2012) di Sergio Rilletti e Elio Marracci. Nella prismatica e sfaccettata configurazione della raccolta che mira a «un nuovo modo di mostrare l’handicap» (Rilletti 2019), la disabilità è strumentale nell’affrontare le svariate condizioni e i diversi profili dei personaggi con disabilità nonchè le plurime ambientazioni, tematiche e generi impiegati. Sviando dalle stereotipizzazioni, concentrandosi sulla persona e concedendo agency ai protagonisti, si osserva un parziale disallinemento dalla tipica retorica sulla ‘super’disabilità prettamente eroica o d’ispirazione.
“Zoppaccia, guercia e sbiobbina”. Letteratura e disabilità nelle novelle di Pirandello
Authors: Lorenzetti Sara
Published: November 2024

L’articolo si propone di rileggere le Novelle per un anno di Pirandello secondo la prospettiva dei Disabilities Studies. La galleria di personaggi con svantaggio fisico o ritardo cognitivo presente nella raccolta lascia supporre che Pirandello interpreti un’istanza di maggiore realismo rispetto alla narrativa modernista, così come l’adozione di moduli di ascendenza verghiana sembra operare nella direzione di una ripresa della tradizione verista. In realtà, un’analisi dei testi porta invece alla luce come la tematizzazione della disabilità sia funzionale a un superamento della tradizione naturalista, a cui lo scrittore si rapporta in modo dialettico, ricorrendo a diverse tecniche: la caratterizzazione del personaggio minorato in senso caricaturale o grottesco, la trattazione comica della vicenda, la divagazione esistenziale a partire dalla riflessione sulla sorte del disabile, la  lettura allegorica della situazione di svantaggio, la tendenza alla fantasticizzazione della disabilità.

Published: November 2024

El presente trabajo indaga en los orígenes, desarrollo y desaparición de la Federación Comunista Catalano Balear (FCCB), poniendo el acento no únicamente en sus propuestas políticas y complejas relaciones con el Partido Comunista de España (PCE), sino también en las consecuciones y límites de su despliegue organizativo en los dos territorios en los que estuvo implantada. Orgaizada en 1923 como sección territorial del PCE que agrupaba a los comunistas de Cataluña y de las Baleares, desde el otoño de 1924 se articuló en esencia en torno al «Grupo de la Batalla» –la corriente sindicalista revolucionaria de la CNT, dirigida por Joaquín Maurín–, mientras que la aportación inicial de los núcleos preexistentes del PCE tanto en el Principado como en el archipiélago quedó muy diluida. El nuevo organismo, muy marcado por una cultura política diferente a la del grueso del comunismo hispánico, entró pronto en colisión con la dirección central del PCE en un contexto marcado por las controversias que sacudieron al movimiento comunista internacional tras la muerte de Lenin. En 1930/31 la FCCB rompió definitivamente con el PCE e impulsó la formación del Bloque Obrero y Campesino (BOC), del que surgiría cuatro años más tarde el partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista (POUM). El uso de prensa periódica y de informes internos del archivo del Partido Comunista de España permite profundizar particularmente en los conflictos desarrollados entre la FCCB y el PCE, así como en las relaciones –hasta ahora muy poco conocidas– que se establecieron entre los comunistas catalanes y mallorquines.

La Guerra Civil Española en la prensa brasileña (1936-1939)
Authors: Venturini Eliane
Published: November 2024

El estallido de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939) ocurrió mientras Brasil estaba en un proceso político convulso: había sufrido un intento de golpe comunista y Getúlio Vargas estaba a punto de implantar una dictadura fascista. Las noticias que llegaban desde España y divulgadas a través de los periódicos fueron interpretadas como un reflejo del combate ideológico que ocurría también en Brasil. Por eso, es importante estudiar los titulares de esas publicaciones para que se tenga un análisis de cómo la actuación de la censura, de los representantes oficiales y oficiosos y de los simpatizantes y oponentes a Vargas intervinieron en la divulgación de las noticias y en la percepción de los brasileños con relación al conflicto español.
“La tierra toda paresçía que temblava”. Estampas y relaciones ilustradas como medio para la exaltación artística de la victoria de Carlos V en Pavía (1525)
Authors: Gozalbo Nadal Antonio
Published: November 2024

Durante la Edad Moderna se generalizó la difusión impresa de noticias políticas o bélicas, muchas veces complementadas con ilustraciones. Los grandes poderes del momento fueron los principales responsables de este proceso, al entender las capacidades que estos medios masivos tenían para construir un estado de opinión favorable a sus intereses. En este sentido, las Guerras de Italia tuvieron un papel clave, y muy especialmente la batalla de Pavía. La victoria de Carlos V sería dada a conocer mediante multitud de medios artísticos, en un momento en que el emperador aún estaba afirmando su poder. Dentro de este conjunto ocuparon un lugar fundamental los grabados y escenas en textos breves. En ocasiones, estas imágenes son muy sencillas y genéricas, pero también hay ejemplos muy atentos a la realidad de los hechos y el espacio.

Authors: Monzó Calero Claudia
Published: November 2024

El presente artículo ofrece nuevos datos sobre las bibliotecas de los canónigos y beneficiados de la Catedral de Valencia a través del análisis de sus inventarios de bienes y almonedas. El hallazgo de nueva documentación permite estudiar la cultura material de estos eclesiásticos y comprender su nivel cultural además de su modo de vida. Asimismo, se expondrá como las lecturas y la influencia de las nuevas corrientes devocionales harán posible que irrumpan las imágenes en los hogares de los eclesiásticos valentinos entorno al año 1370. Para el estudio de dicha elite se ha recurrido a la historia social y en concreto a la rama de la historia de las mentalidades. Todo ello con el fin de estudiar el comportamiento individual y colectivo de este grupo privilegiado quienes se convirtieron en auténticos clientes y promotores artísticos.
The doctrinal metaphor porta clausa in medieval liturgical hymns and its reflection in the iconography of the Annunciation
Authors: Salvador-González José María
Published: November 2024

Focused on investigating some interpretations of the vision of the prophet Ezekiel about the eastern shut gate of the temple that was to be rebuilt in Jerusalem, this article] seeks two objectives. First, to present many fragments of medieval liturgical hymns in Latin that interpret the Ezekiel’s sentence in a Mariological and Christological sense. Second, to analyze seven artistic representations of the Annunciation that include a shut door in their scene. The comparative analysis between these hymnic texts and these artistic images allows us to conclude that both reflect the same doctrinal meanings.
Toplu Yapı Yönetim Planının Değiştirilmesi
Authors: Doğar Mehmet
Published: November 2024

Kat Mülkiyeti Kanununa tabi ana veya toplu yapıların yönetiminde en önemli belge yönetim planıdır. Kat mülkiyeti veya kat irtifakı kurulurken tapu müdürlüğüne ibraz edilen bu plan, kat maliklerinin oybirliği ile hazırlanır ve külli/cüzi halefler için de bağlayıcıdır. Zaman içinde değişen ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda yönetim planında değişiklik yapılmak istenebilir. Yönetim planında yapılacak değişiklikler, Kanunda klasik kat mülkiyeti ve toplu yapılar bakımından ayrı maddeler halinde düzenlenmiştir. Özellikle birden fazla parsel üzerine kurulmuş toplu yapılarda yönetim planı değişikliğinin nasıl yapılacağına dair literatürde yeterli kaynak bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, genel hatlarıyla toplu yapılara ilişkin bu soruna dikkat çekmek ve toplu yapı yönetim planlarına ilişkin değişikliklerde yetkili organın belirlenmesi ile oyların hesaplanmasında dikkat edilmesi gereken birtakım konuların tartışılmasını sağlamaktır.

With the growing competition among industries in the world, manufacturing industries are now forced to adopt the Lean Manufacturing philosophy to improve their competitive abilities. The adoption of the philosophy is very low in developing countries such as Tanzania, as is demonstrated with 1% of publications and the lack of knowledge and capital for Lean Manufacturing implementation causes this. Furthermore, the contribution of the sector to the Gross Domestic Product in Tanzania is low and stands at 8.4%. The study wants to bridge the gap in training, capital and awareness of Lean Manufacturing in Tanzania. Survey and purposive sampling techniques were adopted in the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect responses from 243 manufacturing industries of all sizes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were analysed with SPSS version 27.0.1. The results demonstrated that there is inadequate training for micro and small industries as more than 80% have not received any training, have inadequate funds whereby more than 95% have not allocated funds and low awareness with a mean score of below 3 out of 5. The status is contrary in medium and large industries, with more than 75% training provision. It was also revealed that 90% of large industries have allocated funds while for medium ones it is more than 39% and the awareness for Lean Manufacturing is high as they have a mean score of above 3. The Lean practices with high levels of awareness to all manufacturing industries are 5s, concurrent engineering and visual management. The low level of awareness, training and insufficient capital for Lean Manufacturing affect the adoptions of the philosophy in Tanzania. Therefore, the study will assist practitioners and policymakers in setting strategies for bridging the gap in the adoption of Lean Manufacturing in developing countries such as Tanzania.
