Memory and cinematographic narrative estrategies in “Historia de detectives”, by Juan Marsé

This work proposes a study on two recurrent themes in the narrative of Juan Marsé (1933-2020): memory and cinematography in a specific story: “Historia de detectives”. The short stories and novels of the Catalan author are usually based on his own experiences during the post-war period, but also on what he saw, read, heard and imagined. For this reason, in addition to his wanderings through the streets of Barcelona, his work incorporates elements from books, comics and films that merge with his memories sifted through the years. In this article we will discuss the way in which certain discursive strategies typical of the seventh art, as well as some of its characters, become part of this tale

The narrator and the duplicities in La Sombra, fantastic novel by Benito Pérez Galdós

La sombra is the first novel by the Canarian writer Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920). Although it did not obtain the same recognition as his realistic works, it has turned out to be an exemplary exponent of nineteenth-century Spanish fantastic literature. In this work, the function of its narrator will be mentioned as a "link" or "censorship", as it is one of the typical elements of the fantastic of the time. Likewise, the characteristics that make it belong to this genre will be highlighted, based on the definitions of Tzvetan Todorov, Ana María Barrenechea and Ana María Morales, among other theorists. Finally, the different types of duplicity presented in the work —objective and subjective; physical and psychological— will be studied, and the motives that make La sombra a representative of the transition from the fantastic terrifying to the fantastic interior will be explainedLa sombra es la primera novela del escritor canario Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920). Aunque no obtuvo el mismo reconocimiento que sus obras de corte realista, ha resultado ser un exponente ejemplar de la literatura fantástica española decimonónica. En este trabajo se mencionará la función de su narrador como «enlace» o «censura», pues es uno de los elementos típicos de lo fantástico de la época. Asimismo, se destacarán las características que la hacen pertenecer a este género, con base en las definiciones de Tzvetan Todorov, Ana María Barrenechea y Ana María Morales, entre otros teóricos. Finalmente, se abordarán los distintos tipos de duplicidad que se presentan en la obra —objetiva y subjetiva; física y psicológica—, y se expondrán los motivos que hacen de La sombra una representante de la transición de lo fantástico terrorífico a lo fantástico interio

La amenaza de la otredad en los cuentos de Guadalupe Dueñas

Some stories by Guadalupe Dueñas are addressed that denote a rejection of certain human qualities, such as adulthood —from the child's perspective, or vice versa—, obesity, physical disability and race, aspects that lead to the abject from the perspective of narrators or protagonists. Likewise, the aversion to poverty is highlighted from the perspective of characters from a wealthy class, as well as the contempt and fear that dirt or certain customs of the less favored produce in them. It is also observed how in most cases these disparities lead to situations of cruelty, violence and even death. The study is based on the theories of Julia Kristeva, Mikhail Bakhtin and Paul Ricoeur regarding otherness and abjection.Se abordan algunos cuentos de Guadalupe Dueñas que denotan un rechazo de ciertas cualidades humanas, tales como la adultez —desde la perspectiva infantil, o viceversa—, la obesidad, la minusvalía física y la raza, aspectos que derivan en lo abyecto desde la visión de los narradores o los protagonistas. Asimismo, se destaca la aversión hasta la pobreza desde la mirada de personajes provenientes de una clase acomodada, así como el menosprecio y el temor que producen en ellos la suciedad o determinadas costumbres de los menos favorecidos. Se observa, igualmente, cómo en la mayoría de los casos estas disparidades derivan en situaciones de crueldad, violencia e, incluso, muerte. El estudio se apoya en las teorías de Julia Kristeva, Mijail Bajtín y Paul Ricoeur en torno a la otredad y la abyección

Los relatos y las novelas del autor catalán suelen abrevar de sus propias vivencias durante la época de la posguerra, pero también de lo visto, leído, escuchado e imaginado. Por ello, además de sus andanzas por las calles de Barcelona, a su obra se incorporan elementos provenientes de libros, cómics y películas que se funden con sus recuerdos tamizados por el paso de los años. En este artículo se tratará la manera en que ciertas estrategias discursivas propias del séptimo arte, así como algunos de sus personajes, pasan a formar parte de este relato

Santa Vela's voice in "Las madres negras", by Patricia Esteban Erlés

La narrativa de Patricia Esteban Erlés ha otorgado, desde sus inicios, un fuerte peso a los espacios en donde se desarrolla la acción. Algunos de ellos se inspiran en inmuebles de novelas y películas, como ocurre en el caso de Manderley –la casona de la película "Rebeca", de Hitchcock– y la mansión Winchester. El escenario principal de la novela "Las madres negras", el convento de Santa Vela, es un elemento crucial para la conformación de lo gótico, lo siniestro y lo fantástico, rasgos que se combinan con maestría en esta obra. Este trabajo destaca las características arquitectónicas del espacio y su relación con la trama de la novela. Asimismo, se aborda el protagonismo del inmueble como un personaje, la importancia de su voz a lo largo de la novela y la proyección de la mente de su propietaria original en su construcción, con base en la teoría de Maria Tatar, Sigmund Freud, Anthony Vidler y Gaston Bachelard, entre otros.The narrative of Patricia Esteban Erlés has given, from the beginning, a strong relevance to the spaces where the action takes place. Some of them are inspired by the properties of novels and films, as in the case of Manderley –the mansion of the film "Rebecca", by Hitchcock– and the Winchester Mistery House. The main setting of the novel "Las madres negras", the convent of Santa Vela, is a crucial element for the conformation of the gothic, the sinister and the fantastic, features that are masterfully combined in this work. This paper highlights the architectural characteristics of the space and its relationship with the plot of the novel. It also approaches the protagonism of the building as a character, the importance of its voice throughout the novel and the projection of the mind of its original owner in its construction, based on the theory of Maria Tatar, Sigmund Freud, Anthony Vidler and Gaston Bachelard, among others

El exotismo como umbral de lo fantástico en «La fiebre azul», de Cristina Fernández Cubas

This work proposes to analyze the story "La fiebre azul", by Cristina Fernández Cubas, with the objective of determining the influence of the exoticism of the African country where the plot is developed, where superstitions and old beliefs are part of the daily life, in the appearance of the fantastic event. Likewise, it studies the unfolding of the protagonist's personality, a fact that constitutes an illegality in the story, in order to understand its causes and to unravel the metaphor it implies.Este trabajo propone analizar el cuento “La fiebre azul”, de Cristina Fernández Cubas, con el objetivo de determinar la influencia del exotismo del país africano en donde se desarrolla la trama —en el que las supersticiones y antiguas creencias son parte de la cotidianidad— en la aparición del hecho fantástico. Asimismo, estudia el desdoblamiento de la personalidad del protagonista, hecho que constituye una ilegalidad en el relato, con el fin de comprender sus causas y de desentrañar la metáfora que implica

Population-based multicase-control study in common tumors in Spain (MCC-Spain): rationale and study design

Introduction: We present the protocol of a large population-based case-control study of 5 common tumors in Spain (MCC-Spain) that evaluates environmental exposures and genetic factors. Methods: Between 2008-2013, 10,183 persons aged 20-85 years were enrolled in 23 hospitals and primary care centres in 12 Spanish provinces including 1,115 cases of a new diagnosis of prostate cancer, 1,750 of breast cancer, 2,171 of colorectal cancer, 492 of gastro-oesophageal cancer, 554 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and 4,101 population-based controls matched by frequency to cases by age, sex and region of residence. Participation rates ranged from 57% (stomach cancer) to 87% (CLL cases) and from 30% to 77% in controls. Participants completed a face-to-face computerized interview on sociodemographic factors, environmental exposures, occupation, medication, lifestyle, and personal and family medical history. In addition, participants completed a self-administered food-frequency questionnaire and telephone interviews. Blood samples were collected from 76% of participants while saliva samples were collected in CLL cases and participants refusing blood extractions. Clinical information was recorded for cases and paraffin blocks and/or fresh tumor samples are available in most collaborating hospitals. Genotyping was done through an exome array enriched with genetic markers in specific pathways. Multiple analyses are planned to assess the association of environmental, personal and genetic risk factors for each tumor and to identify pleiotropic effects. Discussion: This study, conducted within the Spanish Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health (CIBERESP), is a unique initiative to evaluate etiological factors for common cancers and will promote cancer research and prevention in Spain.The study was partially funded by the “Accion Transversal del Cancer”, approved on the Spanish Ministry Council on the 11th October 2007, by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III-FEDER (PI08/1770, PI08/0533, PI08/1359, PS09/00773, PS09/01286, PS09/01903, PS09/02078, PS09/01662, PI11/01403, PI11/01889, PI11/00226, PI11/01810, PI11/02213, PI12/00488, PI12/00265, PI12/01270, PI12/00715, PI12/00150), by the Fundación Marqués de Valdecilla (API 10/09), by the ICGC International Cancer Genome Consortium CLL, by the Junta de Castilla y León (LE22A10-2), by the Consejería de Salud of the Junta de Andalucía (PI-0571), by the Conselleria de Sanitat of the Generalitat Valenciana (AP 061/10), by the Recercaixa (2010ACUP 00310), by the Regional Government of the Basque Country by European Commission grants FOOD-CT- 2006-036224-HIWATE, by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) Scientific Foundation, by the The Catalan Government DURSI grant 2009SGR1489

La ganadería ante escenarios complejos.

La calidad de las contribuciones, producto de la pluma de especialistas en los temas tratados, el presente es un libro que esperamos, basándonos en la importancia de los temas tratados, sea de utilidad y abone a la reflexión de los estudiosos de la ganadería mexicana y, por supuesto, en beneficio de las familias ganaderas y de los consumidores de sus productos.este libro refleja en muchos sentidos la situación de la ganadería mexicana, a la que se le están demandando mayor producción y productividad, que los procesos productivos tengan la menor huella ecológicposible, que los alimentos sean inocuos, que se abatan costos de producción y, cada vez aumentan las presiones de diversos grupos para, que se incluyan los protocolos de bienestar animal, solamente por citar algunos de los retos que tiene. Algunas de estas demandas son complementarias, otras se contraponen, lo que hace valiosos a los estudios que desde las ciencias sociales se realizan y, desde diversas ópticas, se hagan propuestas de política pública balanceadas que consideren lo mejor de cada enfoque, pero sin desechar por completo los antagónicos.Universidad Autónoma Chaping

Optimasi Portofolio Resiko Menggunakan Model Markowitz MVO Dikaitkan dengan Keterbatasan Manusia dalam Memprediksi Masa Depan dalam Perspektif Al-Qur`an

Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis
