La pragmática del discurso poético con especial intención a la temporalidad lingüística
Authors: Pihler Barbara 
Published: March 2016

El hecho de que el significado global de un texto resulta superior a la simple suma de las significaciones de las oraciones que lo componen, originó el conocido cambio de paradigma en el desarrollo de la investigación lingüística: el paso de la oración al texto. Como el texto llegó a ser la clave para el estudio lingüístico fue imprescindible la reconsideración global de la naturaleza de la lengua lo que suponía ciertas ampliaciones del concepto de la lingüística tradicional. Surgió la disciplina llamada Lingüística textual o Sintaxis textual2 cuyo objeto sería el estudio de la lengua a partir de su manifestación en textos. Por una parte se concibe el texto como la unidad global del acto de comunicación y por otra se lo considera como el encadenamiento de estructuras sintácticas particulares. Los límites entre sintaxis, semántica y pragmática se hacen borrosos puesto que el texto ya no se concibe como una estructura cerrada, sino como proceso de significación, abier- to a interpretaciones subjetivas diferentes.

Tunja, sin duda, ha sido un epicentro cultural, una especie de capital artística de rica estampa arquitectónica renacentista testiga fiel del trabajo de los principales escritores de Ia colonia. Por sus calles deambuló Juan de Castellanos con su Elegía de varones ilustres de Indias,buscando el tono y Ia estructura epica que prometlan sus crónicas rimadas. Tambien Juan Rodriguez Freyle encontró aquí, en la ciudad de Tunja, las habladurías de plaza y de parroquia que luego transformó en deliciosos cuentos, recogidos en El camero. La madre Francisca Josefa del Castillo y Guevara nació, vivió y escribió su Vida en Tunja; en la paz y soledad del convento de Santa Oara, encontróla atmósfera enrarecida en la cual el tiempo parecía haberse anclado en el siglo XVI, y que le permitió expresar líricamente sus Afectos espirituales.
Chronicas breves e memorias avulsas de Santa Cruz de Coimbra (.P. M. H., Scriptores, pp. 23-32)
Authors: Peixoto da Fonseca Fernando Venâncio 
Published: March 2016

Alexandre Herculano intitulou assim, nos seus preâmbulos, quatro pequenas composi oes históricas (que se distinguem entre si pelos n. I a IV), as quais, é ele quem o escreve, são evidentemente anteriores ao século XVI, e fazem parte do manuscrito 79 da Biblioteca Pública do Porto, originário do mosteiro de Santa Cruz de Coimbra. Este manuscrito (a sua cota actual tern o n.0 103), uma parte do qual é de pergaminho e a outra de papel, compreende 47 folhas, em diversas letras da segunda metade do século XV. Os fragmentos n.os I e II oferecem ambos pouco interesse literário. 0 primeiro, no dizer de Herculano, é uma compila ao de memórias isoladas coligidas sem ordem cronológica de diversas fontes, e interrompidas de tempos a tempos por matérias históricas; feita "na segunda metade do século XV', estende-se até ao reinado de Dom Dinis, pois, se bem que os seus artigos se refiram também a tempos posteriores (o texto completo abrange factos relativos ao reinado de Dom Duarte), Herculano quis limitá-la àquele período.
Metáfora sinestésica en el Quijote
Authors: Skubic Mitja 
Published: March 2016

En la metáfora sinestésica, la metáfora viene considerada como el translado de una esfera sensorial a otra. Si cada metáfora es una transposición de sentido de un término a un otro, basada en una comparación no expresada, la llamada sinestésica incluye dos esferas sensoriales distintas (voz cálida, lágrimas amargas). Es aceptado por todos los semantistas que una de las condiciones de la eficacia de la metáfora sinestésica, para algunos la más importante, es la distancia semántica entre los dos conceptos; al estar los dos conceptos demasiado cercanos o pertenecer a semejante campo nocional, la metáfora pierde vigor. Comparar dos seres o cosas (casi) idénticas, es posible; es, de alguna manera, una comparación pálida, inexpresiva. La metáfora sinestésica es eficaz, porque llega inesperadamente, sorprende, como postulaba el surrealismo francés (A Breton). Si hoy día muchas metáforas sinestésicas no provocan ningun asombro, es debido a la suerte que toda metáfora sufre cuando llega a ser patrimonio lexical de una lengua.
Eduardo Blanco – amor en su centenario (1897-1997)
Authors: Silva Carlos Ruiz 
Published: March 2016

Eduardo Blanco-Amor es una de las figuras máximas de toda la historia de la Literatura Gallega. Fue poeta, narrador, dramaturgo y ensayista -tanto en gallego como en castellano- y en todas esas facetas déjo obras de muy alto interés, algo en verdad infrecuente en el panorama de la literatura ibérica del siglo XX en cualquiera de sus lenguas. Como gran maestro de las letras gallegas, su obra goza de extraordinario prestigio y difusión. Pero fuera del ámbito galaico Blanco-Amor es casi desconocido, lo cual supone una manifiesta injusticia. De sus cinco obras narrativas, dos están escritas originalmente en castellano y las otras tres en gallego, pero de estas últimas hay versión -que no traducción- castellana realizada por el propio autor, lo que les otorga categoría de obras originales. Su obra teatral ofrece igualmente creaciones en gallego y en castellano al igual que la poética. Sus libros ensayísticos, sin embargo, están exclusivamente en castellano, al igual que la inmensa mayoría de sus articulos periodísticos. Autor, pues, bilingüe pero al que sólo sus paisanos han situado en el Iugar que Ie corresponde. Hora es ya de que Blanco-Amor sea recono­ cido como Io que realmente es: uno de los grandes escritores españoles de este siglo.
Lithological control on the landscape form of the upper Rhône Basin, Central Swiss Alps
Authors: Stutenbecker Laura , Costa Anna , Schlunegger Fritz 
Published: March 2016

Abstract. The development of topography depends mainly on the interplay between uplift and erosion. These processes are controlled by various factors including climate, glaciers, lithology, seismic activity and short-term variables, such as anthropogenic impact. Many studies in orogens all over the world have shown how these controlling variables may affect the landscape's topography. In particular, it has been hypothesized that lithology exerts a dominant control on erosion rates and landscape morphology. However, clear demonstrations of this influence are rare and difficult to disentangle from the overprint of other signals such as climate or tectonics. In this study we focus on the upper Rhône Basin situated in the Central Swiss Alps in order to explore the relation between topography, possible controlling variables and lithology in particular. The Rhône Basin has been affected by spatially variable uplift, high orographically driven rainfalls and multiple glaciations. Furthermore, lithology and erodibility vary substantially within the basin. Thanks to high-resolution geological, climatic and topographic data, the Rhône Basin is a suitable laboratory to explore these complexities. Elevation, relief, slope and hypsometric data as well as river profile information from digital elevation models are used to characterize the landscape's topography of around 50 tributary basins. Additionally, uplift over different timescales, glacial inheritance, precipitation patterns and erodibility of the underlying bedrock are quantified for each basin. Results show that the chosen topographic and controlling variables vary remarkably between different tributary basins. We investigate the link between observed topographic differences and the possible controlling variables through statistical analyses. Variations of elevation, slope and relief seem to be linked to differences in long-term uplift rate, whereas elevation distributions (hypsometry) and river profile shapes may be related to glacial imprint. This confirms that the landscape of the Rhône Basin has been highly preconditioned by (past) uplift and glaciation. Linear discriminant analyses (LDAs), however, suggest a stronger link between observed topographic variations and differences in erodibility. We therefore conclude that despite evident glacial and tectonic conditioning, a lithologic control is still preserved and measurable in the landscape of the Rhône tributary basins.
River flood risk in Jakarta under scenarios of future change

Published: March 2016

Abstract. Given the increasing impacts of flooding in Jakarta, methods for assessing current and future flood risk are required. In this paper, we use the Damagescanner-Jakarta risk model to project changes in future river flood risk under scenarios of climate change, land subsidence, and land use change. Damagescanner-Jakarta is a simple flood risk model that estimates flood risk in terms of annual expected damage, based on input maps of flood hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. We estimate baseline flood risk at USD 186 million p.a. Combining all future scenarios, we simulate a median increase in risk of &amp;plus;180 % by 2030. The single driver with the largest contribution to that increase is land subsidence (&amp;plus;126 %). We simulated the impacts of climate change by combining two scenarios of sea level rise with simulations of changes in 1-day extreme precipitation totals from five global climate models (GCMs) forced by the four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). The results are highly uncertain; the median change in risk due to climate change alone by 2030 is a decrease by −46 %, but we simulate an increase in risk under 12 of the 40 GCM–RCP–sea level rise combinations. Hence, we developed probabilistic risk scenarios to account for this uncertainty. If land use change by 2030 takes places according to the official Jakarta Spatial Plan 2030, risk could be reduced by 12 %. However, if land use change in the future continues at the same rate as the last 30 years, large increases in flood risk will take place. Finally, we discuss the relevance of the results for flood risk management in Jakarta.
Tendencias clave para el tercer gobierno del MAS, Bolivia 2015-2019
Authors: Albó Xavier 
Published: March 2016

This presentation takes into account the 2006 Plan for National Development and aims at highlighting some of the successes in the presidency of Evo Morales as well as the challenges for his third period of government (2015-2019). It begins by reviewing basic demographic information, according to the 2012 Census, and then focuses on the economy: hydrocarbons, mining, agricultural production and the issue of ecology. The quinoa boom, the expansion of the agricultural frontier and the suspension of the construction of a highway through TIPNIS are some of the topics reviewed. Internationally, there are reasons for optimism in relation to Bolivia’s demand for access to the sea, while nationally, MAS secured a congressional victory in the 2014 elections. Reforms in the judiciary are the least successful. The presentation ends with an update on social movements that have allowed the formation of the Constituent Assembly, and on the question of municipal, departmental and indigenous autonomies.

Quality Improvement in Vascular Access Care Through the Use of Electronic Health Records
Authors: Strudwick Gillian , Booth Richard 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Background: Hospitalized patients routinely require a form of vascular access, as do an increasing number of patients receiving care in community settings. Ensuring that the best quality of care is delivered to those requiring vascular access is a difficult task to achieve because multiple care providers initiate, assess, and access these devices. Electronic health records (EHRs) are a tool that may be used to aid clinicians in achieving best practices at the point of care and throughout an organization.
Methods: We describe how EHR technology can be used to support quality improvement initiatives in vascular access practice and its related research and explore the importance and value of embedding vascular access requirements within EHR technology.
Results: EHRs may be a valuable tool for supporting quality improvement efforts in the field of vascular access. Requirements of the clinical specialty such as clinical documentation, reminders and alerts, computerized provider order entry, electronic medication administration, and data extraction can be built into the existing functions of EHRs.
Conclusions: Clinicians practicing in this specialty area should consider working with their clinical informatics and information technology departments to identify opportunities within their organizations to improve how the technology can be leveraged to support vascular access care.
A language for hierarchical data parallel design-space exploration on GPUs
Authors: SVENSSON BO JOEL , NEWTON RYAN R. , SHEERAN MARY 
Published: March 2016

AbstractGraphics Processing Units (GPUs) offer potential for very high performance; they are also rapidly evolving. Obsidian is an embedded language (in Haskell) for implementing high performance kernels to be run on GPUs. We would like to have our cake and eat it too; we want to raise the level of abstraction beyond CUDA code and still give the programmer control over the details relevant to kernel performance. To that end, Obsidian provides array representations that guarantee elimination of intermediate arrays while also using the type system to model the hierarchy of the GPU. Operations are compiled very differently depending on what level of the GPU they target, and as a result, the user is gently constrained to write code that matches the capabilities of the GPU. Thus, we implement not Nested Data Parallelism, but a more limited form that we call Hierarchical Data Parallelism. We walk through case-studies that demonstrate how to use Obsidian for rapid design exploration or auto-tuning, resulting in performance that compares well to the hand-tuned kernels used in Accelerate and NVIDIA Thrust.

AbstractIntroductionRheumatic heart disease causes substantial morbidity in children in low-income countries. School-based echocardiographic screening has been suggested as a means to identify children with latent disease; however, little is known about the experience of children and teachers participating in screenings. The aim of our study was to assess students’ and teachers’ experience of school-based echocardiographic screening and identify areas for improvement.Materials and methodsA school-based echocardiographic screening programme was conducted in five schools in Northern Uganda in 2013. After 8 months, an age- and gender-stratified population that included 5% of the participating students and teachers completed a questionnaire via an in-person interview. Responses were reviewed by question and coded to identify key themes.ResultsA total of 255 students (mean 10.7 years; 48% male) and 35 teachers participated in our study. In total, 95% of the students and 100% of the teachers were happy to have participated in the screening; however, students reported feeling scared (35%) and nervous (48%) during the screening process. Programmatic strengths included the following: knowing one’s health status, opportunity to receive treatment, and staff interactions. Although 43% of the patients did not suggest a change with open-ended questioning, concerns regarding privacy, fear of the screening process, and a desire to include others in the community were noted.DiscussionSchool-based echocardiographic rheumatic heart disease screening was well received by students and teachers. Future programmes would likely benefit from improved pre-screening education regarding the screening process and diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease. Furthermore, education of teachers and students could improve screening perception and establish realistic expectations regarding the scope of screening.

AbstractSodium-ion batteries are emerging as candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost and the wide variety of cathode materials available. As battery size and adoption in critical applications increases, safety concerns are resurfacing due to the inherent flammability of organic electrolytes currently in use in both lithium and sodium battery chemistries. Development of solid-state batteries with ionic electrolytes eliminates this concern, while also allowing novel device architectures and potentially improving cycle life. Here we report the computation-assisted discovery and synthesis of a high-performance solid-state electrolyte material: Na10SnP2S12, with room temperature ionic conductivity of 0.4 mS cm−1 rivalling the conductivity of the best sodium sulfide solid electrolytes to date. We also computationally investigate the variants of this compound where tin is substituted by germanium or silicon and find that the latter may achieve even higher conductivity.

AbstractGraphene nanoribbons display extraordinary optical properties due to one-dimensional quantum-confinement, such as width-dependent bandgap and strong electron–hole interactions, responsible for the formation of excitons with extremely high binding energies. Here we use femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to explore the ultrafast optical properties of ultranarrow, structurally well-defined graphene nanoribbons as a function of the excitation fluence, and the impact of enhanced Coulomb interaction on their excited states dynamics. We show that in the high-excitation regime biexcitons are formed by nonlinear exciton–exciton annihilation, and that they radiatively recombine via stimulated emission. We obtain a biexciton binding energy of ≈250 meV, in very good agreement with theoretical results from quantum Monte Carlo simulations. These observations pave the way for the application of graphene nanoribbons in photonics and optoelectronics.

AbstractWhen an electron binds to its anti-matter counterpart, the positron, it forms the exotic atom positronium (Ps). Ps can further bind to another electron to form the positronium negative ion, Ps− (e−e+e−). Since its constituents are solely point-like particles with the same mass, this system provides an excellent testing ground for the three-body problem in quantum mechanics. While theoretical works on its energy level and dynamics have been performed extensively, experimental investigations of its characteristics have been hampered by the weak ion yield and short annihilation lifetime. Here we report on the laser spectroscopy study of Ps−, using a source of efficiently produced ions, generated from the bombardment of slow positrons onto a Na-coated W surface. A strong shape resonance of 1Po symmetry has been observed near the Ps (n=2) formation threshold. The resonance energy and width measured are in good agreement with the result of three-body calculations.

AbstractNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasing health problem worldwide, with genetic, epigenetic and environmental components. Here, we describe the first example of NAFLD caused by genetic disruption of a mammalian potassium channel subunit. Mice with germline deletion of the KCNE2 potassium channel β subunit exhibited NAFLD as early as postnatal day 7. Using mouse genetics, histology, liver damage assays and transcriptomics we discovered that iron deficiency arising from KCNE2-dependent achlorhydria is a major factor in early-onset NAFLD in Kcne2─/─ mice, while two other KCNE2-dependent defects did not initiate NAFLD. The findings uncover a novel genetic basis for NAFLD and an unexpected potential factor in human KCNE2-associated cardiovascular pathologies, including atherosclerosis.
Real-time high-resolution heterodyne-based measurements of spectral dynamics in fibre lasers

Published: March 2016

AbstractConventional tools for measurement of laser spectra (e.g. optical spectrum analysers) capture data averaged over a considerable time period. However, the generation spectrum of many laser types may involve spectral dynamics whose relatively fast time scale is determined by their cavity round trip period, calling for instrumentation featuring both high temporal and spectral resolution. Such real-time spectral characterisation becomes particularly challenging if the laser pulses are long, or they have continuous or quasi-continuous wave radiation components. Here we combine optical heterodyning with a technique of spatio-temporal intensity measurements that allows the characterisation of such complex sources. Fast, round-trip-resolved spectral dynamics of cavity-based systems in real-time are obtained, with temporal resolution of one cavity round trip and frequency resolution defined by its inverse (85 ns and 24 MHz respectively are demonstrated). We also show how under certain conditions for quasi-continuous wave sources, the spectral resolution could be further increased by a factor of 100 by direct extraction of phase information from the heterodyned dynamics or by using double time scales within the spectrogram approach.
