The spanish exile in London: Heterodoxies of religion and press. Blanco White and Felicia Hemans

En su cruzada contra el absolutismo de Fernando VII, los exiliados españoles en Londres se sirvieron de la palabra impresa no solo como medio de crítica política, sino también religiosa en la construcción del Estado liberal español. Aunque un tanto obviado en lo referente a esta cuestión heterodoxa al ser considerado periódico político, El Español de Blanco White abrirá paso, como pionero en la prensa española del exilio londinense, al tratamiento del aperturismo religioso como pilar esencial en el discurso liberal de los emigrados, que después desarrollarán otros refugiados con cabeceras protestantes impresas en español. En interconexión con coetáneos ingleses, como Dickens o Felicia Hemans, la crítica religiosa de Blanco, basada en una continua búsqueda de la verdad, se extenderá además a la prensa inglesa con sus Letters from Spain, aparecidas inicialmente en el New Monthly Magazine de Thomas Campbell, en el que Hemans publicará los poemas que estructurarán su referente contra la intolerancia católica, The Forest Sanctuary, según la propia autora, su mejor trabajo. El análisis historiográfico de esta investigación se centra en el estudio bibliográfico y crítico de los textos sobre la temática expuesta y sus fuentes hemerográficas, con el fin de destacar la aportación de la hibridación religiosa entre la obra periodística de Blanco y Hemans, en el contexto de una misión que desempeñará un papel esencial a favor de la libertad religiosa y que se notará en el incipiente rupturismo de la ortodoxia católica en la obra periodístico-literaria del XIX español.Spanish exiles in London used the printed word not only as an instrument of political criticism, but also as religious criticism in the construction of the Spanish liberal state. Although somewhat overlooked in relation to this heterodox issue because of being considered a political newspaper Blanco White’s El Español will open, as a pioneer in the Spanish press of the exile in London, to the treatment of religious openness as an essential pillar in the liberal discourse of the emigrados, which will be developed by other refugees with Protestant mastheads printed in Spanish. In interconnection with English contemporaries (Dickens or Felicia Hemans), the religious criticism of Blanco, based on a continuous search for the truth, will also be extended to English press with his Letters from Spain, initially published in the New Monthly Magazine, in which Hemans will publish the poems that will structure her referent work against Catholic intolerance, The Forest Sanctuary. The historiographical analysis of this research focuses on the bibliographical and critical study of the texts on the subject matter and its hemerographic sources, in order to highlight the contribution of religious hybridization between the journalistic works of Blanco and Hemans in the context of a mission in favor of religious freedom and that it will be noted in the incipient breaking off from Catholic orthodoxy in the journalistic and literary work of the Spanish nineteenth centur

A pioneer of modernity in the illustrated press of the 19th century: Emilia Serrano de Wilson

Daremos en este artículo un repaso a la labor de las mujeres periodistas en el siglo XIX en España, sus ideas, del tradicionalismo al progresismo, y algunas de las principales publicaciones de la prensa ilustrada en las que publicaron su trabajo, y analizaremos a continuación algunas contribuciones de Emilia Serrano a esta, entre los años 1857-1874. Junto a apuntes costumbristas describiendo fiestas y vestidos, esta autora critica ciertas costumbres y la situación de la mujer en la época.We will review the role of journalist women in the Spain of the 19th century, their ideas, from traditionalism to progressivism, and some of the main publications of the illustrated press, where some of them published their work. Then, we will analyze some contributions done between 1857 and 1874 by Emilia Serrano. Along with some costumbrist articles where she describes parties and dresses, this author criticizes the situations of women in that time

Servir a mi Patria con mi pluma: sobre andaluces y prensa en el Londres del XIX. Aportaciones periodísticas de los liberales exiliados en la capital británica en la primera mitad del siglo

Proyecto I+D+i FEDER Andalucía 2014-2020 "Historia Crítica del Periodismo Andaluz" (US-1253132)Finalizada la Guerra de la Independencia contra Francia y restaurada la dinastía borbónica en la persona de Fernando VII, el absolutismo impuesto por el monarca provocó el exilio de los liberales españoles, huidos de la represión política y religiosa. Entre ellos se hallaban no pocos andaluces (y andaluzas), intelectuales que prestaron un inestimable servicio al aperturismo de su patria a través de una notable obra periodística que se fraguó desde el Londres decimonónico.Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) US-125313

Escritoras en la prensa sevillana del XIX: Carmen de Berróstegui en La Aurora y otros nombres en el olvido

Hubo un grupo de pioneras en la prensa sevillana decimonónica que con su obra abrió paso a derechos políticos y sociales, posibilitando el tránsito a un mundo con menos opresión. Integrantes de una innovadora generación femenina, algunas de estas periodistas-escritoras tuvieron más renombre (Fernán o La Avellaneda). Otras son prácticamente desconocidas (Matilde Campuzano, Eloísa Coloma o la que aquí estudiamos en mayor profundidad, Carmen de Berróstegui). Pero todas fueron mujeres rompedoras que, desde perspectivas más conservadoras o liberales y con referentes angloamericanos, impulsaron el aperturismo sirviéndose de la prensa como el más influyente instrumento sobre las masas hasta entonces conocido.There was a group of pionering women in the nineteenth century Sevillian press who gave way to political and social rights, enabling the transit to a world with less oppression. Members of an innovative female generation, some of these women writer-journalists had more renown (Fernán or La Avellaneda). Others are practically unknown (Matilde Campuzano, Eloísa Coloma or the one that we study more in depth, Carmen de Berróstegui). But they were all breaking women who, from more conservative or liberal perspectives and with angloamerican referents, pushed opening using the press like the greatest influential instrument on the masses until then known

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Indulgentes con las bellas, combatientes con las eruditas. El difícil camino de las autoras andaluzas en la prensa sevillana del XIX

En torno a un centenar de periodistas-escritoras colaboraron como pioneras en las cabeceras sevillanas decimonónicas, pero gran parte de ellas ha caído en el olvido. Salvo algunas de más renombre, especialmente dentro del ámbito literario, continúan siendo prácticamente unas desconocidas, a pesar del relevante papel que desempeñaron a favor de una sociedad más justa, enfrentándose para ello a críticas y burlas de sus coetáneos
