Approaching Ana de San Bartolomé’s mystic poetry

Traballo Fin de Grao en Lingua e Literatura Españolas. Curso 2019-2020Dentro de la literatura mística del Siglo de Oro, las figuras de San Juan de la Cruz y Santa Teresa de Jesús han sido objeto de numerosísimos estudios que abordan los más variados aspectos de su vida y su obra. Sin embargo, figuras como Alonso de Orozco y Ana de San Bartolomé no han recibido una atención similar. Este trabajo se ocupa de analizar la obra poética de Ana de San Bartolomé, mística que mantuvo una estrecha relación con Santa Teresa. Dado el escaso conocimiento de su figura, el trabajo comenzará con un apartado donde se resumirán su trayectoria biográfica y sus obras más destacadas. A continuación se procederá al análisis de su poesía mística, el cual se centrará en su elaboración a lo divino de la tradición popular, y en los recursos del lenguaje figurado que utiliza para dar cauce verbal a su inefable experiencia. En estos aspectos, el concepto de sermo humilis y la metodología retórica (especialmente en el terreno de los tropos) serán fundamentales en el análisis. Finalmente, se llevarán a cabo algunas calas para comparar la simbología mística empleada por Ana de San Bartolomé con la de los poetas místicos más destacado

Intraoral lipomas: review of literature and report of two clinical cases

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors composed of mature adipocytes. They are classified according to their histological pattern and their etiology remains unclear. Objectives: To present two cases and review the literature. A search was conducted in the Medline / PubMed and Scielo data bases of the last 10 years (2004-2014) with the keywords “ intraoral lipoma OR oral cavity lipoma”. 46 articles with 95 cases (56 women and 39 men) were reviewed. The average age was found to be 52.28 years (52.28 ± 18.55); and most of them occurred between the 4th and 6th decade of life. Lipomas occur mostly in the buccal mucosa (n = 36, 37.9%), followed by the tongue (n = 23, 24.2%) and other locations (n = 36, 37.9%). The most common histologic pattern was simple lipomas (n = 40, 42%), followed by fibrolipomas (n = 18, 18.9%) and other types (n = 37, 39.1%). The average tumor size was 19.77 ± 16.26mm. Lipomas are a relatively rare finding in the oral cavity. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected

Tularemia pulmonar: la gran simuladora

Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis that can cause different clinical pictures and could simulate other diseases. A 54-year-old man consulted for febrile symptoms without a clear source of origin in which an image compatible with a pulmonary mass was found. The serology was positive for tularemia, so antibiotic therapy was started, but the pulmonary mass was further studied. After antibiotic treatment, the radiological image resolved. Pulmonary tularemia is a disease capable of simulating other respiratory entities, including malignant processes. La tularemia es una zoonosis causada por la bacteria Francisella tularensis que puede provocar diferentes cuadros clínicos pudiendo simular otras enfermedades. Un varón de 54 años consultó por cuadro febril sin claro foco de origen en el que se halló una imagen compatible con masa pulmonar. En el estudio se obtiene una serología positiva para tularemia por lo que se inicia terapia antibiótica, pero se prosiguió estudio de la masa pulmonar. Tras tratamiento antibiótico se evidenció resolución de la imagen radiológica. La tularemia pulmonar es una enfermedad capaz de simular otras entidades respiratorias, incluso procesos malignos

COSMO: Corrientes Marinas y Seguridad en el Medio Marino

Ejercicio internacional de salvamento y lucha contra la contaminación marina "Polex 24-17" organizado por la Dirección General de Marina Mercante y Salvamento Marítimo del 14 al 16 de junio de 2017 en SantanderDisponer en tiempo real de información sobre las corrientes oceánicas es clave para algunos de los servicios encomendados a la Sociedad de Salvamento y Seguridad Marítima y al Cuerpo Nacional de Policía (CNP). Un alto porcentaje de las emergencias de búsqueda de personas y náufragos, y de los incidentes de contaminación gestionados por Salvamento Marítimo, tienen lugar en zonas cercanas a la costa. Asimismo, el 71% de los casos de restos humanos no identificados (CSI) acontecidos en España durante el período 1968-2015 se da en zonas costeras. El proyecto COSMO busca mejorar la eficacia de las operaciones de búsqueda y de predicción de derivas, y mejorar la proporción de identificaciones positivas acelerando la resolución de casos de recuperación de restos humanosProyecto cofinanciado por el Ministerio de Economía Industria y Competitividad y Fondos FEDER de la UE (COSMO-CTM2016-79474-R, UE)Peer Reviewe

The organizational behavior and the design of a business project

RESUMEN: A lo largo del proyecto he intentado plasmar las pautas que toda persona que quiera emprender un proyecto debería tener presente. Con estas pautas me he querido referir a los conocimientos y procesos necesarios que nada tienen que ver con temas como la financiación, la contabilidad, etc. Partiendo de la definición de comportamiento organizativo, intentaré explicar paso por paso de una manera simple, los conocimientos que creo básicos para que una persona ajena a mi formación debería por lo menos conocer su existencia, y digo por lo menos, porque no necesariamente todos estos instrumentos y conocimientos los tiene que aplicar el dueño del negocio ya que existen numerosos expertos encargados de este tipo de asesoramientos. Tomando como base esa definición de comportamiento organizativo, explicaré el papel que juegan las personas en la organización más allá de ser simples trabajadores. Cómo hay que mandarles, cuándo saber delegar o cómo motivarles. También en este sentido, con relación a los trabajadores, abordaré el tema de los mecanismos de coordinación necesarios para que la actividad de la empresa fluya sin grandes contratiempos. Posteriormente procederé a explicar las partes en las que se divide una organización, prestando especial importancia a aquellas que creo deben ser las básicas en el inicio de toda empresa, como es el núcleo central de operaciones. También se abordará los métodos para diseñar los puestos de trabajo de nuestra empresa, el diseño de la superestructura, el diseño de vínculos laterales y el del sistema decisor, que conforman el apartado de parámetros de diseño. Para acabar el apartado teórico se explicará la configuración estructural simple, pues es la que creo que toda empresa en sus inicios va a aplicar de la manera más fácil, explicando sus aplicaciones y sus posibles continuidades en el futuro. Este proyecto me gustaría acabarlo mediante un apartado de aplicación práctica de los conocimientos adquiridos durante la carrera, aplicándolos a mi experiencia profesional. Trataré de explicar cómo, gracias a los conocimientos que iba adquiriendo en la Universidad, me iba dando cuenta de sus aplicaciones en el mundo de la empresa, a través de mi experiencia en McDonald’s.ABSTRACT: Along the project I have tried to explain the patterns that any person who wants to start a project needs to take into account. With these patterns I have wanted to reference the knowledge and the necessary processes which have nothing to do with financial topics, accounting, etc. Starting with the definition of organizational behavior; I will try to explain it step by step in a simple way so that any person, even without my education, could at least have the basic understanding that is necessary to run a company successfully. And I said at least because this knowledge does not have to be applied by the owner of the business specifically, because there are a lot of consulting experts that could deal with such issues. Taking that definition of organizational behavior as a basis, I will explain the role that employees play in the organization, beyond being just workers. This includes how the work needs to be assigned to them, when to delegate or how to motivate employees. Also, regarding employees, I will address the necessary mechanisms so the activity in the company flows without setbacks. Later on, the different parts in which an organization is divided will be explained, giving more importance to those that I believe that are essential when starting a company, such as the central core of operations. The methods to design the work positions, the design of the superstructure, the design of the lateral links, and the system of decision making, that are all part of the design parameters will also be addressed. To conclude with the theory, the simple structural configuration will be explained due to my belief that this is what every starting company will be able to easily apply, explaining its application and its possible developments in the future. I would like to finish this project with an application of the acquired knowledge during my degree, applying them to my personal experience. I will try to explain how thanks to the knowledge that I have acquired throughout my time at the university, I have been able to notice its actual application in the business world through my own experience at McDonald’s.Grado en Administración y Dirección de Empresa

Evaluation of Onboard Stability Assessment Techniques Under Real Operational Conditions

Financiado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade da Coruña/CISUG[Abstract] Stability-related accidents and crew lack of training are among the main causes of fatalities in the fishing fleet. Onboard stability guidance systems have been proposed by many authors as a possible solution. These guidance systems have been evolving from colour-coded posters to computer-based systems. However, their real-time operation without crew interaction is not solved yet. This work presents the validation of a methodology proposed by the authors in previous works for estimating the natural roll frequency of the vessel in real-time and thus the metacentric height. The performance of this method, based on the analysis of the roll motion, is tested during a fishing campaign of a mid-sized trawler, showing very promising results.The authors would like to thank Puertos del Estado for providing the wave and wind data used in this work (Puertos del Estado, Ministerio de Fomento, Gobierno de España, www.puertos.es).

Describing posterior distributions of variance components: Problems and the use of null distributions to aid interpretation

Abstract Assessing the biological relevance of variance components estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)‐based mixed‐effects models is not straightforward. Variance estimates are constrained to be greater than zero and their posterior distributions are often asymmetric. Different measures of central tendency for these distributions can therefore vary widely, and credible intervals cannot overlap zero, making it difficult to assess the size and statistical support for among‐group variance. Statistical support is often assessed through visual inspection of the whole posterior distribution and so relies on subjective decisions for interpretation. We use simulations to demonstrate the difficulties of summarizing the posterior distributions of variance estimates from MCMC‐based models. We then describe different methods for generating the expected null distribution (i.e. a distribution of effect sizes that would be obtained if there was no among‐group variance) that can be used to aid in the interpretation of variance estimates. Through comparing commonly used summary statistics of posterior distributions of variance components, we show that the posterior median is predominantly the least biased. We further show how null distributions can be used to derive a p‐value that provides complementary information to the commonly presented measures of central tendency and uncertainty. Finally, we show how these p‐values facilitate the implementation of power analyses within an MCMC framework. The use of null distributions for variance components can aid study design and the interpretation of results from MCMC‐based models. We hope that this manuscript will make empiricists using mixed models think more carefully about their results, what descriptive statistics they present and what inference they can make
