Juan de Solórzano Pereira y la defensa del indio en América

Juan Solórzano Pereira was outstanding in 17th century Spain both for his vast erudition in Philosophy, Theology and Law and for his thorough knowledge of legislation concerning the American colonies. It was quite natural for Philip III to send him to Peru as Oidor of the Lima Tribunal and give him the mandate to compile and publish the materials dealing with the most fundamental problems of colonial legislation. He did so in three steps: 1.The question of justifying the Spanish takeover. 2. The rightfulness of continuing the Spanish presence in those territories. 3. The critical appraisal of the Spanish Administration and Government in the area.La inmensa erudición jurídica, filosófica y teológica de Juan Solórzano Pereira y el exhaustivo conocimiento de la legislación de Indias hacen de él una figura de primera magnitud en el campo del derecho indiano en el siglo XVII. Ello explica el mandato real que Felipe III le impuso, al ser enviado al Virreinato de Perú como Oidor de la Audiencia de Lima, de recoger y publicar las cuestiones fundamentales referentes al derecho indiano, que redujo a tres: 1. Justicia de la ocupación de las Indias por los españoles; 2. Justicia de la permanencia española en las Indias; 3. Justicia de la Administración y Gobernación españolas en las Indias

Overview of recent TJ-II stellarator results

The main results obtained in the TJ-II stellarator in the last two years are reported. The most important topics investigated have been modelling and validation of impurity transport, validation of gyrokinetic simulations, turbulence characterisation, effect of magnetic configuration on transport, fuelling with pellet injection, fast particles and liquid metal plasma facing components. As regards impurity transport research, a number of working lines exploring several recently discovered effects have been developed: the effect of tangential drifts on stellarator neoclassical transport, the impurity flux driven by electric fields tangent to magnetic surfaces and attempts of experimental validation with Doppler reflectometry of the variation of the radial electric field on the flux surface. Concerning gyrokinetic simulations, two validation activities have been performed, the comparison with measurements of zonal flow relaxation in pellet-induced fast transients and the comparison with experimental poloidal variation of fluctuations amplitude. The impact of radial electric fields on turbulence spreading in the edge and scrape-off layer has been also experimentally characterized using a 2D Langmuir probe array. Another remarkable piece of work has been the investigation of the radial propagation of small temperature perturbations using transfer entropy. Research on the physics and modelling of plasma core fuelling with pellet and tracer-encapsulated solid-pellet injection has produced also relevant results. Neutral beam injection driven Alfvénic activity and its possible control by electron cyclotron current drive has been examined as well in TJ-II. Finally, recent results on alternative plasma facing components based on liquid metals are also presentedThis work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014–2018 under Grant Agreement No. 633053. It has been partially funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Inovación y Universidades of Spain under projects ENE2013-48109-P, ENE2015-70142-P and FIS2017-88892-P. It has also received funds from the Spanish Government via mobility grant PRX17/00425.
