A administração pública nas sociedades da informação e do conhecimento
Authors: Tello Diana Carolina Valencia , Lima Edilson Vitorelli Diniz
Published: February 2016

Na atualidade, a internet e as redes sociais estão mudando radicalmente as formas de interação entre os indivíduos nas sociedades da informação e do conhecimento, razão pela qual os estados e a administração pública em todos os níveis devem se preparar para enfrentar essa nova realidade, procurando responder às demandas da cidadania, que busca maior participação, transparência e efetividade do Estado. Nesse contexto, um dos elementos mais importantes para viabilizar a participação do cidadão nas decisões públicas que afetam a comunidade é o acesso à informação pública. Mas em burocracias de tipo weberiano, dominadas por interesses políticos e econômicos, a informação é protegida, entre outras razões, para evitar a crítica da sociedade. Para desenvolver melhor esse problema, analisaremos inicialmente a administração pública nas sociedades da informação e do conhecimento; no segundo item apresentaremos a burocracia em Weber e no terceiro item estudaremos as características da burocracia na América Latina. No quarto momento será tratado especificamente o caso brasileiro, com ênfase para o problema atual da divulgação dos gastos da Copa do Mundo de 2014. Finalmente, no quinto segmento se exporá o programa de governo eletrônico na Colômbia.   Today, the Internet and social networks are radically changing the nature of interaction between individuals in information societies, which is why states and governments at all levels must prepare itself to face this new reality, facing the increasing demands of society, which seeks greater participation, transparency and effectiveness of the State. In this context, one of the most important elements to make possible citizen’s participation in public decisions that affects community is the access to public information. But in Weberian type of bureaucracy, dominated by political and economic interests, the information is protected, among other reasons, to avoid the criticism of society. In order to explain better this problem, we’ll analyze first public administration in information societies; then, we’ll presents the bureaucracy in Weber, and then we’ll study bureaucracy’s characteristics in Latin America. On the fourth item, we will address the Brazilian case, with emphasis on the current issue of disclosure of the expenses of the 2014 World Cup. Finally, we’ll expose the e-Government program in Colombia.

Código Florestal e Lei do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação: normatividades autônomas
Authors: Antunes Paulo de Bessa
Published: February 2016

O artigo cuida da existência constitucional de um regime binário de proteção da diversidade biológica, constituído por uma lei geral e aplicável às situações rotineiras, nas quais não existam valores ambientais relevantes a serem tutelados por mecanismos especiais de tutela. É o regime estabelecido pela Lei no 12.651/2012. O outro regime é aquele dedicado à proteção de espaços territoriais merecedores de tutela específica, sendo abarcado pela Lei no 9.985/2000. Ambos os regimes não deveriam se confundir, todavia, há vários momentos em que ocorre a sobreposição de normas, fazendo com que seja necessária uma maior explicitação em relação aos campos de incidência de cada uma das normas, aplicando-se métodos adequados de interpretação. A Lei do Snuc dispõe mecanismos aptos a gerir adequadamente os espaços territoriais especialmente protegidos, em especial, mediante a adoção dos planos de manejo. O trabalho apresenta uma breve evolução histórica do tema, bem como indica a orientação jurisprudencial sobre o tema.   The article deals with the constitutional existence of a binary system of protection of biological diversity, consisting of a general law applicable to routine situations in which there are no relevant environmental values to be protected by special mechanisms of protection. It is the regime established by Law No 12.651/2012. The other scheme is the one dedicated to the protection of territorial spaces worthy of specific protection, being embraced by Law No 9.985/2000. Both regimens should not be confused, however, there are many times when overlapping standards occurs, causing the necessity to further explanation in relation to the fields of incidence of each standard, applying appropriate methods of interpretation. The Slaw of Snuc provides mechanisms able to properly manage especially protected areas, in particular through the adoption of management plans. The paper presents a brief historical development of the subject, as well as the case law on the topic.

Authors: Kim Richard Pae , Porto Valéria do Vale
Published: February 2016

O presente artigo visa conduzir a uma reflexão sobre a obrigação do homem público a uma conduta proba e o princípio da moralidade como um direito fundamental difuso. Destacamos, brevemente, a moral e o direito. Sem preocupação de exaurir o tema, porque extenso e denso, analisamos os princípios implícitos na Lei de Improbidade Administrativa, a necessidade ou não de comprovação do dano e os sujeitos da improbidade administrativa. Finalmente, pelo princípio da precaução, abarca a moralidade e o direito eleitoral, resguardando, com a Lei da Ficha Limpa, a moralidade da atuação do homem público que se dispõe a representar o povo.   This work aims to lead to a reflection on the public man’s commitment to a moral conduct, as well as on the principle of morality as a fundamental right of citizenship. Briefly, we point out aspects of Moral and Law. Without exhausting the subject of concern, because extensive and dense, we discuss implicit principles in the Public Misconduct Act, the necessity of demonstrating the damage and the subjects of administrative misconduct. Finally, by the precaution principle, we talk about morality and electoral law, concerned with protecting the citizen from the misconduct of those who can be elected.
Controle de constitucionalidade das leis pelo árbitro: notas de direito internacional privado e arbitragem
Authors: Tiburcio Carmen
Published: February 2016

Diante da determinação constante dos arts.18 e 31 da Lei de Arbitragem brasileira, no sentido de que o árbitro é juiz de fato e de direito da causa da qual for julgador, o presente trabalho questiona quais os limites de seu poder, em especial no que diz respeito à possibilidade de controle de constitucionalidade das leis no âmbito do procedimento arbitral. Após breve comentário sobre sistemas de controle de constitucionalidade no direito comparado, e do importante registro de que há ordenamentos em que o controle é atividade privativa de um órgão, enquanto em outros pode ser exercido por todas as instâncias judiciais, são analisadas diferentes hipóteses envolvendo o poder-dever de fiscalizar as leis em tribunais arbitrais. Aborda-se também a possibilidade de homologação pelo STJ de laudos proferidos no exterior em certas situações que envolvem conflito entre lei e Constituição.   Articles 18 and 31 of the Arbitration Law of Brazil set forth that the arbitrator is the judge of fact and law in what concerns the case he or she is going to decide. Taking that into account, this paper analyzes what are the limits of his or her powers, in particular when it comes to the analysis of the constitutionality of the laws to be applied in the case under analysis. After a brief note on judicial review systems under comparative law and taking into consideration that in some systems this control is concentrated in one body, while in others it may be performed by all courts, different scenarios are analyzed, it is discussed the possibility of recognition of awards rendered abroad in situations that involve conflict between laws and the Constitution.

Published: February 2016

The article considers the drawbacks of modern monetary-currency systems and their nonconformity to the requirements of current and future technological possibilities of the most world’s countries is concluded. It is substantiated that the principle of benchmarking of currency purchasing power unit in modern monetary-currency systems causes such nonconformity. The evolution character of changing one another benchmarking methods of purchasing power is discussed. The classification of money types and monetary system classes according to a joint classification attribute: benchmarking method of purchasing power, is offered. The hypothesis of the existence of the law describing the correlation between the benchmarking method of currency purchasing power and the economic-technological civilization development level is grounded. The conclusion is drawn that a new type of virtual money with a constant purchasing power has to emerge as the result of this law effect at the national level. At the international level, in future the same demand for correspondence will firstly bring about the making up of supranational units of account of regional and political alliances of countries and then the emergence of supranational world’s currency with a constant purchasing power.

The analysis of the problem of pollution removal from hard-to-reach areas (cavities, closed openings and channels) on complicated-shaped parts of products of power mechanical and aggregate engineering is performed. The chemical composition of pollution on the example of the burner devices is studied. It is determined, that the large amount of deposits on weight consists of oxides of iron and the alloying metals. It is shown, that the most effective method of performance restoration of channels and openings is ultrasonic cleaning. However, this method has restrictions on impact on the hidden (shadow) zones owing to attenuation in cavitation processes. The cleaning method, according to which the combined impact is applied to the cleaned surfaces of the general cavitation and local contact vibration effect of the ultrasonic radiator, leading to high-frequency deformations and tension in deposits of organic and inorganic pollution and to their intensive peeling, is suggested. The technological modes of ultrasonic cleaning are defined experimentally. It is determined, that application of the suggested method allows significantly reduce the time of cleaning of channels and openings with removal to 97-98% of pollution at the brought ultrasonic power in 1 kW in comparison with the existing schemes of the general cavitation cleaning.

Authors: Manesh Asma
Published: February 2016

Let M_{n,m} be the set of all n-by-m matrices with entries from R, and suppose that R^n is the set of all 1-by-n real row vectors. A matrix R is called generalized row stochastic (g-row stochastic) if the sum of entries on every row of R is 1. For X, Y â M_{n,m}, it is said that X is rgut-majorized by Y (denoted by X âº_{rgut} Y ) if there exists an m-by-m upper triangular g-row stochastic matrix R such that X = Y R. In this paper, the concept right upper triangular generalized row stochastic majorization, or rgut- majorization, is investigated and then the linear preservers and strong linear preservers of this concept are characterized on R^n and M_{n,m}.
De la retórica a la historia: la prosa historiográfica de Éforo
Authors: Caballero López José Antonio
Published: February 2016

En el presente trabajo mostramos cómo, por mediación de Isócrates, la retórica influyó no solo en la forma de relatar los hechos históricos sino incluso en la propia selección del material historiable. Estudiamos particularmente la obra historiográfica de Éforo, que fue discípulo de Isócrates, y comprobamos, ciertamente, la impronta que la «retórica escolar» de su maestro dejó en lasHistorias,tanto en la preocupación estilística como en la concepción didáctico-moral de la historiografía. Sin embargo, nuestro autor es consciente de que no está componiendo un discurso, sino una obra de historia; y lo que se señala como pobre imitación del estilo isocrático no sería sino autorregulación propia y cierta fidelidad a las formas tradicionales del género historiográfico.

Biomonitoring and assessing total mercury concentrations and pools in forested areas
Authors: Nasr Mina , Arp Paul A.
Published: February 2016

This article focusses on the bio-monitoring of total Hg (THg), sulfur (TS) and carbon (TC) concentrations and pool sizes in forest vegetation and soil layers within the context of a maritime-to-inland transect study in southwestern New Brunswick. This transect stretches from the Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy to the mainland coast (Little Lepreau to New River Beach) and 100 km northward to Fredericton. Along the Bay, frequent summer fogs are thought to have led to increased THg concentrations in forest vegetation and soils such that island THg > coast THg > inland THg concentrations. Transect sampling was done in two phases: (i) a general vegetation and soil survey, and (ii) focusing on specific soil layers (forest floor, top portion of the mineral soils), and select moss and mushrooms species. By way of multiple regression, it was found that soil, moss and mushroom THg and TS were strongly related to one another, with THg decreasing from the island to the inland locations. The accumulated Hg pool within the mineral soil, however, far exceeded (i) the estimated THg pools of the forest biomass (trees, moss and mushrooms) and the forest floor, and (ii) the literature-reported and case-study inferred net input/output rates for annual atmospheric Hg deposition and sequestration, Hg volatilization, and Hg leaching. Partitioning the total soil Hg pool into geogenically and atmospherically derived portions suggested that mineral soils in temperate to boreal forest regions have accumulated and retained atmospherically derived Hg over thousand years and more. These results are summarized in terms of further guiding forest THg monitoring and modelling efforts in terms of specific vegetation and soil sampling targets.
Metformin effectiveness and safety in the management of overweight/obese nondiabetic children and adolescents: metabolic benefits of the continuous exposure to metformin at 12 and 24 months
Authors: Marques Pedro , Limbert Catarina , Oliveira Laura , Santos Maria Inês , Lopes Lurdes
Published: February 2016

Introduction:

Childhood obesity prevalence is rising and new therapeutical approaches are needed. Metformin is likely beneficial in obese and/or insulin-resistant children/adolescents, but its role in this setting is still unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of weight loss and insulin resistance, and safety of metformin in nondiabetic overweight/obese children and adolescents.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of 78 nondiabetic obese/overweight [body mass index (BMI)≥85th/95th percentile for age and sex] children and adolescents. Anthropometric and metabolic outcomes of 39 patients treated with metformin (mean daily dose: 1.3±0.5 g) were analyzed and compared to lifestyle intervention alone at different follow-up times (12 and 24 months).

Results:

The mean age of the 78 patients was 13.3 years, 41 were females and mean BMI and BMI-SDS were 32.8 kg/m2and 3.1, respectively. There was a decrease in mean BMI-SDS within each treatment group in all periods, except at 24 months for lifestyle intervention. However, the change in BMI-SDS was not significantly superior in the metformin group when compared to lifestyle intervention. Metformin had greater effectiveness over lifestyle intervention alone in reducing fasting insulin levels and homeostasis model assessment for insulin-resistance index (HOMA-IR) at both 12 and 24 months. Five patients had gastrointestinal adverse effects (12.8%), four requiring dose reduction, but metformin could be resumed in all.

Conclusion:

Metformin for nondiabetic obese/overweight children and adolescents resulted in a noteworthy insulin resistance improvement, without significant BMI advantage when compared to lifestyle intervention. Metformin metabolic and anthropometric effects appear to be beneficial up to 24 months, without relevant adverse effects, highlighting its potential long-term benefits.
The Diagnostic Value of Pericardial Fluid and Pericardial Biopsy: Single Center Experiences
Authors: Yildirim Mehmet , Ustaalioglu Recep , Erkan Murat , Ustaalioglu Bala Basak Oven , Demirbag Hatice , Yasaroglu Murat , Dogusoy Ilgaz , Okay Tamer
Published: February 2016

Background: Patients with recurrent pericardial effusion and pericardial tamponade are usually treated in thoracic surgery clinics by VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) or open pericardial window operation. The diagnostic importance of pathological evaluation of the pericardial fluid and tissue in the same patients has been reported in few studies. We reviewed pathological examination of the pericardial tissue and fluid specimens and the effect on the clinical treatment in our clinic, and compared the results with the literature.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 174 patients who underwent pericardial window operation due to pericardial tamponade or recurrent pericardial effusion. For all patients both the results of the pericardial fluid and pericardial biopsy specimen were evaluated. Clinicopathological factors were analyzed by using descriptive analysis.
Results: Median age was 61 (range, 20-94 years). The most common benign diagnosis was chronic inflammation (94 patients) by pericardial biopsy. History of malignancy was present in 28 patients (16.1%) and the most common disease was lung cancer (14 patients). A total of 24 patients (13.8%) could be diagnosed as having malignancy by pericardial fluid or pericardial biopsy examination. The malignancy was recognized for 12 patients who had a history of cancer; 9 of 12 with pericardial biopsy, 7 diagnosed by pericardial fluid. Twelve of 156 patients were recognized as having underlying malignancy by pericardial biopsy (n = 9) or fluid examination (n = 10), without known malignancy previously.
Conclusion: Recurrent pericardial effusion/pericardial tamponade are entities frequently diagnosed, and surgical interventions may be needed either for diagnosis and/or treatment, but specific etiology can rarely be obtained in spite of pathological examination of either pericardial tissue or fluid. For increasing the probability of a specific diagnosis both the pericardial fluid and the pericardial tissues have to be sent for pathologic examination.
Retinal Precapillary Arteriolar Occlusion after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
Authors: Bahceci Simsek Ilke , Ozay Batuhan
Published: February 2016

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the microembolic changes related to occlusions of precapillary arterioles in the retina during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery using fundus photography, and to examine systemic and operational factors related to occurrent lesions.
Methods: Retinal microvascular damage was assessed by color fundus photography one day before CABG surgery, on postoperative day five, and again three months after surgery. In addition to patients’ demographics, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic renal failure, and hypercholesterolemia (LDL level) were examined. Smoking history was recorded. Additionally, each patient’s carotid Doppler results were ranked by four degrees. Data related to the surgery were recorded.
Results: No retinal emboli were seen in any patient before surgery. In fundus photographs taken on the fifth day after surgery, retinal precapillary arteriolar occlusions were seen in 20 (28.57%) of the patients. Lesions were observed to have disappeared in the third month after surgery. There was no significant (P > .05) difference in age, sex, diabetes mellitus, HT ratio, tobacco consumption percentage, LDL values, and Doppler USG distribution between the two groups of patients with and without lesions. However, CABG surgery and cross-clamp removal time measured significantly
(P < .05) longer in the group with lesions than in the group without lesions.
Conclusion: Our results show that retinal microembolism can occur after CABG surgery in association with surgery time and cross-clamp time; however, this does not cause any clinical outcome.
XIX a. Mažosios Lietuvos įvaizdis Jodocus’o Donatus’o Hubertus’o Temme’ės romane Anna Jogszis
Authors: Brazauskienė Nijolė
Published: February 2016

In his novel Anna Jogszis (1856), the German lawyer and writer Jodocus Donatus Hubertus Temme (1798–1881) represents Lithuania Minor in the 19th century. Lithuania Minor was a multicultural boundary region. J. D. H. Temme describes Lithuanian culture, relationship among Lithuanians, Germans, Russians, and Jews. The main aim of this article is to discover the image of Lithuania Minor in Temme’s novel.Temme states that freedom, humanity, cultural memory are important for every nation. For Temme’s novel, the Lithuanian national spirit is important. The human spirit of his personages is described not so precisely. The author also represented the frontier of Prussia and Russia, the behaviour of custom officials, smuggling. For the Lithuanian image ofthe 19th century, the inferiority complex, loyalty to power in the Kingdom of Prussia, lack of tolerance to other nations, insufficient attention to the Lithuanian historical and cultural past are characteristic. Lithuania Minor needed a national rebirth, civic society, which were the only way to resist Germanisation. The killer of Jews Anna Jogszis was a crisis’ personality and could be interpreted as a symbol of the endangered national spirit in Lithuania Minor. Temme’s novel Anna Jogszis could be used as a historical source for the research of East Prussia’s multicultural identity.
The Ancient Therav?da Meditation System, Bor?n Kamma??h?na: ?n?p?nasati or ‘Mindfulness of The Breath’ in Kammatthan Majjima Baeb Lamdub
Authors: Skilton Andrew , Choompolpaisal Phibul
Published: February 2016

In Thailand the pre-reform Therav?da meditation system, bor?n kamma??h?na, is now practised only by small and isolated groups. To promote detailed comparative study of bor?n kamma??h?na, the tradition of it taught at Wat Ratchasittharam, Thonburi, is explored through a translation of a text on ?n?p?nasati attributed to Suk Kaitheun, the head of its lineage. This is followed by a detailed discussion and comparison with the description of the same technique in the Visuddhimagga. Some close connections between these two sources are identified and it is speculated that, despite features concerning nimitta, bodily location, terminology etc. that are diagnostically distinctive for bor?n kamma??h?na, its method for ?n?p?nasati can be seen as a rational development of earlier techniques advocated by Buddhaghosa.
Rich man's food, poor man's food in "The mansions and the shanties": A narrative review of the book written by Gilberto Freyre
Authors: VASCONCELOS Francisco de Assis Guedes de
Published: February 2016

This article aims to perform a narrative review of the book "The mansions and the shanties" written by the Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre, published for the first time in 1936. The study analyzed Gilberto Freyre's contribution to the process of interpreting the formation and modification of the eating habits and patterns of the Brazilian society. The analysis is limited to a review, from a dietician's perspective, of text clippings where Freyre seeks to reconstruct and interpret the process of formation and modification of eating habits and patterns in the context of a patriarchal society. The text will try to answer the questions: what, how much, how, when, where, and with whom were the dwellers of mansions and shanties eating? Comparison of the eating habits of the rural patriarchal society with those of the emerging urban patriarchal society has shown Freyre's clear trend of aversion to the "Europeanization" of eating habits and his affection for traditional culinary values. The new eating habits of mansions and plantation houses were portrayed with disdain, denoting an author who remained stuck to the culinary traditions of a rural patriarchal society, to taste memories, especially of the sweets, cakes, and desserts created, adapted, and savored in Pernambuco state sugar mills.
Sustainable water management in the Anthropocene
Authors: Muller Mike
Published: February 2016

Much discussion about water management focuses on conserving a natural or good aquatic environment, but a good environmental condition is a social construct. Where populations and economies are growing rapidly, the hydrocentric goal of conserving a stationary natural environment is unreachable and unreasonable. The construction of a sustainable Anthropocene environment sees resilient socioecological systems move to new equilibria rather than return to pre-existing states. In this ecological modernisation paradigm, societies adapt to change through environmental design that moves them to acceptable and functional new equilibria. In water resource management, this approach can be characterised as hydrosupportive, seeking to engineer the environment in ways that meet societies’ water needs in a sustainable manner. It recognises that choices must be made in the context of broader societal objectives, and it engages with water users rather than convening them to participate in hydrocentric processes. A sustainable hydrosupportive approach still requires traditional water resource managers to go beyond the current practice. Southern African cases show how hydrosupportive management, structured to support a range of social and economic scenarios, may more effectively produce sustainable outcomes than hydrocentric approaches, which focus on conserving the water environment and protecting it from human activity.

Con motivo de la publicación de su Obra lírica y doméstica. Poemas completos en el año 2004, el presente artículo quiere contribuir a su conocimiento y difusión aportando una cronología completa de sus poemas y unos breves apuntes desde los que valorar su trayectoria
Metodología para la narrativa de traducciones censuradas inglés-español: análisis del Corpus 0 TRACEni
Authors: Rioja Barrocal Marta
Published: February 2016

Este trabajo pretende cumplir dos objetivos; primeramente describir la metodología adecuada para desarrollar un trabajo descriptivo utilizando los corpus textuales como herramienta de trabajo, a la par que poner de manifiesto los resultados más relevantes obtenidos de un análisis estadístico del Corpus 0 TRACEni (1962-1969), constituido por textos narrativos condicionados por la censura franquista. Para su consecución se tienen presente los Estudios Descriptivos de Traducción, sin perder de vista en un futuro próximo la transición metodológica de construcción de los Corpus 1 y 2, que permitirán obtener datos fiables para llegar al establecimiento de regularidades en el comportamiento traductor. Será entonces el momento de formular normas válidas en este campo de estudio tan interdisciplinar
Estrategias argumentativas del texto publicitario: los mecanismos de atenuación
Authors: Vellón Lahoz Javier
Published: February 2016

El artículo estudia los textos publicitarios desde la teoría de la argumentación, concretamente a partir de las estrategias discursivas centradas en la atenuación. Dichas estrategias se distribuyen en tres grandes grupos: las centradas en el componente pragmático, con la figura de emisor y el receptor; la dimensión semántico-pragmática, con el análisis de las modalidades oracionales; la sintáctico-semántica, con el estudio de estructuras interordinadas de carácter causal y condicional. La finalidad de tales mecanismos textuales es transmitir un mensaje en el que la agresividad propia de todo discurso performativo, como la publicidad, quede asumida en un esquema comunicativo más complejo
Pilar Blanco en su mar de incertidumbres
Authors: Balcells José María
Published: February 2016

A fines de 1993 apareció la antología Ilimitada voz, en la que seleccionábamos poemas de autoras españolas comprendidos en el amplio marco cronológico que media entre 1940 y 2002. En esa recopilación figura la leonesa Pilar Blanco (1959), sobre la que, en la introducción que antepuse a dicho copioso elenco de versos y de poetas, escribí unas consideraciones en torno a su poética que, ciertamente, fueron confirmadas por la entrega lírica que lleva por título Mar de silencio
Recent australina aboriginal stories of imposition, displacement, and alienation
Authors: Collellmir Morales Dolors
Published: February 2016

Todo sobre la sociedad aborigen está inextricablemente entrelazada con y conectado a la tierra. La cultura es la tierra, la tierra y la espiritualidad, sus creencias culturales o razón de ser es la tierra. Hemos crecido de la tierra para arriba. Somos la celebración de la tierra. Se muestra con orgullo la complejidad y riqueza de la relación de la población aborigen con su patria. Por otro lado, los primeros colonos europeos no comprendieron el sentir de los aborígenes con respecto a su tierra
"Carlos II, el hechizado (1837)" o el teatro ecléctico de Antonio Gil y Zárate
Authors: Cantero García Víctor
Published: February 2016

Se estudia la indiscutible contribución del dramaturgo Antonio Gil y Zárate a la mejora del maltrecho panorama teatral decimonónico. Consciente nuestro autor de la inutilidad de la polémica, que enfrentaba a clasicistas radicales y románticos exaltados a propósito de cual habría de ser el modelo teatral más idóneo para nuestras letras, quiso acabar con la misma poniendo sobre las tablas su propia solución, a saber: la práctica del eclecticismo teatral entendido como aprovechamiento de lo mejor de cada pensamiento dramático a la hora de escribir las obras teatrales. Del éxito de esta fórmula nos da el autor buena cuenta en su drama Carlos 11, el Hechizado (1837), cuyos componentes escénicos y recursos dramáticos son aquí analizados
Epónimos procedentes del alemán de la economía, la física y la técnica
Authors: Corbacho Sánchez Alfonso
Published: February 2016

Los epónimos alemanes que han entrado en el español dan fe de algunos campos en los que los países de lengua alemana han influido en el mundo hispánico a través de la historia. Así, el elevado número de epónimos médicos de origen alemán que adopta el español a lo largo del siglo XX revela la importancia del desarrollo de la medicina y disciplinas afines en Alemania, Suiza y Austria durante ese período. Estos epónimos han sido estudiados con frecuencia por médicos y lingüistas, sobre todo lexicólogos; pero a otros, como los de los campos de la economía, la empresa, la física y ciertas especialidades de la ingeniería, se les ha prestado menor atención. El presente trabajo se concentra solamente en estos últimos; y más concretamente en su importancia en la enseñanza del alemán a hispanohablantes
Una novela social olvidada "El suicidio del Príncipe Azul" de José Antonio Balbontín
Authors: Larrabide Achútegui Aitor Luis
Published: February 2016

Se analiza la novela El suicidio del príncipe Ariel, de José Antonio Balbontín (1893-1978), publicada en 1929, aunque escrita varios años antes, que supone la primera novela social. También se revisan las características de la novela social, las referencias autobiográficas, la evolución intelectual del autor y publicaciones suyas de la época, el tema del tiranicidio en su obra, y algunos paralelismos temáticos con José Díaz Fernández (1898-1941)
Teoría de la novela gótica
Authors: López Santos Miriam
Published: February 2016

El presente artículo sistematiza, desde el punto de vista de la teoría literaria, las características que definen el género de la novela gótica. Un acercamiento a las particularidades que la determinan (argumento, personajes, narrador y coordenadas espacio-temporales) permitirá establecer y fijar con mayor precisión las fronteras con respecto a géneros cercanos y paralelos en nacimiento (la novela sentimental y la novela histórica), así como sentar las bases para posteriores análisis de novelas concretas
"Más allá del olvido", densa novela de Andrés Martínez Oria, camino del parnaso
Authors: Serrano Serrano Joaquín
Published: February 2016

Más allá del olvido (2007) es la primera novela de Andrés Martínez Oria. A partir de un argumento localizable en la zona de la Maragatería (León), sabe trascender y universalizar la circunstancia localista. Si personajes y ambientes son tratados con profundidad y acierto, más perfección muestra aún en los aspectos formales. Una ordenación de lo novelado a partir de la memoria del protagonista permite conjugar diversos tiempos y ofrecernos la trayectoria vital del personaje, que explica, aunque no justifica, su crimen. Escritura saturada de cultura e intertextualidad, ofrece al lector las posibilidades de lectura que cada uno sea capaz de hacer: una interpretación primera o ingenua y una lectura empapada de cultura, que en tantas expresiones va mostrando
Las infamias estéticas de Borges
Authors: Morales Lomas Francisco
Published: February 2016

La relación entre la creación libresca, la lectura y la organización de un mundo ha sido siempre motivo de honda atracción en la literatura borgiana. El presente trabajo pretende dar algunas claves de esta tendencia infame en la literatura de Borges y el valor estético de la infamia como instrumento para construir su retórica creadora
El aspecto paramiológico en el "Retrato de la Lozana Andaluza" de Francisco Delicado
Authors: Ramírez Santacruz Francisco
Published: February 2016

El Retrato de la Lozana andaluza de Francisco Delicado registra una cantidad sorprendente de paremias que la crítica suele atribuir a la intención del autor por reproducir el lenguaje coloquial de la época. Sin embargo, Delicado desarrolla varias de las técnicas heredadas de La Celestina en cuanto a la alteración léxica y morfológica de los refranes para transgredir el aspecto moralizante de algunos de éstos. De esta manera, La Lozana andaluza se convierte en un puente, en cuanto a la manipulación artística de refranes, entre La Celestina y otras obras seminales como el Lazarillo, el Guzmán de Alfarache y el Quijote y su autor se nos presenta como un escritor capaz de individualizar la sabiduría popular
España: Mater Dolorosa / Mater Victoriosa. Del teatro clásico al teatro alegórico de la Guerra de la Independencia
Authors: Alonso Rey María Dolores
Published: February 2016

La representación de España como Mater dolorosa no es un un signo distintivo de los liberales ni de su visión política. Cohabita con la representación de España como matrona en majestad tanto en el siglo XIX como anteriormente. La Mater dolorosa ha sido una iconografía constante en el teatro. Para demostrarlo analizamos las obras de teatro alegóricas escritas durante la guerra de la Independencia española (1808-1814), textos poéticos de Quintana y Espronceda así como obras de teatro clásicas : El último rey godo y El mejor mozo de España de Lope de Vega , más La Numancia de Cervantes
Rafael Ballesteros: poeta y narrador
Authors: Moreno Ayora Antonio
Published: February 2016

A partir del género de la lírica, que Rafael Ballesteros cultiva desde el año 1966 con su poemario Desde dentro y desde fuera, y en el que ha alcanzado cima con el título Jacinto (editado en sucesivas versiones), el autor malagueño ha probado suerte asimismo en el género narrativo. A él pertenecen varias obras que han culminado en 2009 con la publicación de una novela extensa titulada La muerte tiene la cara azul, que debemos califi car como pentalogía por incluir en sus páginas los cinco argumentos respectivos a El peligro de la libertad, Rencor de hiena, Verás el sol, La imparcialidad del viento y Miss Damiani. El objetivo del artículo es estudiar estas novelas después de dedicar un primer epígrafe a comentar su poemario Los dominios de la emoción
Information Literacy Instruction Assessment and Improvement through Evidence Based Practice: A Mixed Method Study
Authors: Wakimoto Diana K.
Published: February 2016

Objective— This study explored first-year students’ learning and satisfaction in a required information literacy course. The study asked how students understand connections between themselves and information literacy in terms of power, society, and personal relevance to assess if students’ understanding of information literacy increased after taking the course. Student satisfaction with the course also was measured.

Methods—The study used pre- and post tests and focus group session transcripts which were coded and analyzed to determine student learning and satisfaction during the regular 2008-2009 academic year at California State University, East Bay.

Results— Many students entered the course without any concept of information literacy; however, after taking the course they found information literacy to be personally relevant and were able to articulate connections among information, power, and society. The majority of students were satisfied with the course. The results from analyzing the pre- and post-tests were supported by the findings from the focus group sessions.

Conclusion— The results of this study are supported by other studies that show the importance of personal relevancy to student learning. In order to fully assess information literacy instruction and student learning, librarians should consider incorporating ways of assessing student learning beyond testing content knowledge and levels of competency.
