Befindlichkeit temporary dimension and Zeitlichkeit affective experience on Sein und Zeit

A través de la analítica existenciaria de Sein und Zeit, se busca establecer, mediante el análisis de la Befindlichkeit en tanto que modo esencial de apertura del Dasein, la cooriginariedad entre Verstehen y Befindlichkeit, así como prestar una especial atención a la angustia (Angst), y la posibilidad de pensar una experiencia afectiva -como apertura directa y preteórica- de la Zeitlichkeit, el sentido temporal del ser del Dasein. Para ello, será necesario analizar tanto la dimensión temporal de la Befindlichkeit, como el papel fundamental de la angustia en su hacer patente la muerte, el cuidado y, con ello, la resolución precursora del Dasein. Así, alcanzaremos a ver cómo la Zeitlichkeit sólo es abierta, en el proyecto propio de Sein und Zeit, bajo la forma de una experiencia fundamental de carácter afectivo, esto es, mediante la Grundbefindlichkeit de la angustia.Through Sein und Zeit existential analytic, we will try to establish, by the analysis of Befindlichkeit as an essential disclosedness way of Dasein, the equi-primordiality between Verstehen and Befindlichkeit, and a special attention to anxiety (Angst), the possibility of thinking an affective experience -as a direct and pre-theoretical disclosedness- about Zeitlichkeit. For that purpose, it will be necessary to analyze both the Befindlichkeittemporary dimension and the fundamental role of anxiety disclosing death, care and, with all that, resoluteness. Thus, we will get to see how Zeitlichkeit is only disclosed, on the project of Sein und Zeit, by the way of a fundamental and affective experience, rather, by the Grundbefindlichkeit of anxiety

Mother's attachment representation as a contextual determinant of children's mental health: a 16-year longitudinal study.

Research indicates inconsistent associations between early attachment patterns and later developmental outcomes. In light of these discrepancies, this study aimed to further investigate the matter by considering both mothers' attachment representations and early infant-mother attachment patterns, as antecedents of children's behaviour problems in early childhood, preadolescence, and adolescence. Specifically, this study tests the hypothesis that children's psychosocial development may be better predicted by mothers' attachment representations, assuming stability in this variable to be greater, than infant-mother attachment patterns. The study consisted of a sample of 51 children and their mothers. Child-mother attachment patterns were measured by the Strange Situation procedure at 12 months and by the MacArthur Coding System at 5 years of age. Maternal attachment representations were evaluated by the Adult Attachment Interview when mothers were pregnant (in their last trimester) with their first-born child, and five years after. Children's mental health was assessed by maternal reports (Child Behavior Checklist) at 5 and 11 years, and by maternal and children's reports (Child Behavior Checklist and Youth Self-Report) at 16 years. The results indicated that mother-infant attachment patterns were not stable from infancy to the preschool years. However, high stability of mothers' adult attachment representations was found. In prospective analyses, while children's attachment patterns were not predictive of later outcome, mothers' dismissing attachment representations were associated with children's externalising difficulties at 16 years. The results are discussed in relation to developmental challenges to parenting posed by the transition to adolescence and the possible connections to attachment representations. Limitations and suggestions for future research are also discussed

Nuevos hormigones, nuevas posibilidades estructurales. Ejemplos de aplicación a puentes y edificios.

El desarrollo de nuevos materiales, nuevas tecnologías que pueden ser utilizadas en la industria de la construcción, el desarrollo de cada vez mas potentes medios de construcción son los que permitirán el desarrollo de las estructuras en el siglo XXI. En el mundo de hormigón también existe esta tendencia y también el desarrollo de las estructuras de hormigón y sus posibilidades futuras esta vinculada a una relectura del pasado con estas nuevas posibilidades. En este trabajo se muestran ejemplos de utilización de hormigones especiales en distintos puentes y edificios proyectados y5 algunos de ellos, construidos en España

Pensar más allá del cálculo

Con la figura de un cuadrado azul y el juego sutil que define una curva y proyecta una trama, el ingeniero civil Hugo Corres Peiretti presenta la oficina Fhecor de ingeniería estructural que preside en Madrid. Este profesional argentino que creció en el pueblo cordobés de Cintra y hoyes catedrático de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), predica desde la geometría del isotipo de su estudio la belleza del racionalismo integrada al uso social de la técnica. Entre sus obras y las estructuras realizadas para grandes estudios incorpora materiales y tecnologías avanzadas pero respeta las necesidades estructurales, funcionales y urbanas que lo alejan de dos tendencias extremas: el funcionalismo economicista, estéticamente pobre, y el formalismo que se basa en el impacto visual

Blend membranes based on block copolymer/ionic liquids

318 p.The overall objective of this thesis is the generation of a deeper knowledge on the development ofcomposite materials based on non¿porous polymeric membranes containing ILs. The accomplishment ofsuch objective will be complemented by the setup of the respective apparatus and adequateexperimental methodsThe work will focus first of all on demonstrating the possibility of using a commercial block copolymer asa base material when incorporating different ILs. Secondly, in view of the modular morphology of thebase material, the behavior, effect and evolution of these composite membranes will be studied whenblended with ILsPolyma

Concrete in high-rise buildings: practical experiences in Madrid

The use of concrete in high-rise buildings has increased significantly in the last 20 years mainly owing to improvement in all of the technologies associated with this material: admixtures, pumping, transportation and elevation methods, etc. These enhanced possibilities are illustrated by means of four high-rise buildings that were built recently in Madrid, each about 250 m high. The main structural elements of these buildings are presented focusing on the advantages offered by concrete compared to other materials that are commonly used in high-rise construction. The types of concrete considered are high-resistance concrete up to C80, self-compacting concrete, precast and in situ concrete, reinforced or prestressed concrete, as well as normal weight or lightweight concrete. These examples clearly show that, even in structures where the role of self weight is determinant, concrete can be the best solution if all of the different factors involved in the success of a construction site are considered: geometry, ease of construction, means of elevation, prefabrication at factory, repetitiveness, material costs, control requirements, and so o
