What’s going on in the architecture of Enric Miralles? The space that is never entered

[EN] Enric Miralles would go so far as to say that all his projects were also public spaces. This essay reconstructs the theoretical framework in which his architecture is positioned as a problem around the origin of form and time, while interpreting the intellectual references and the countless allegorical universes to which his creative output refers.[ES] Enric Miralles llegaría a afirmar en una ocasión que todos sus proyectos lo eran también de espacio público.

Opus Angelicum: el imaginario arquitectónico de las Elegías de Duino 1912-1922

Desde la crisis que experimentó la cultura europea a finales del siglo XIX en el lenguaje de las artes, las correspondencias entre arquitectura y literatura que se formulan alrededor del estudio micro histórico de la gestación de las Duineser Elegien (1912-1922) de Rainer Maria Rilke, plantean un triple interrogante: ¿existe un origen a la figura del ángel en el mencionado ciclo? ¿Qué arquitecturas acogen su presencia? ¿Es dicha presencia un pretexto del poeta para reformular los límites de la mirada del hombre a través del lenguaje? Hasta el momento, como respuesta a la primera cuestión, tres tesis avalaban un posible origen dispar a la presencia del ángel en el ciclo de Duino. La primera, presentada por el jesuita Jaime Ferreiro Alemparte, defendía un origen místico y literario a la figura alada. La segunda, del investigador japonés Ito Takatatsu, sostenía su origen desde las representaciones pictóricas de El Greco. Y una última, defendida por Helmunt Naumann, encontraba en Chartres el origen primordial de dicha figura. Literatura, pintura y arquitectura se articulaban como tres de las materias desde las que Rilke construyó un imaginario poético en el que “el ángel de las Elegías no tenía nada que ver con el ángel del cielo cristiano”. Es en la carta de 13 de noviembre de 1925 en la que Rilke, una vez concluido el ciclo, parece querer transmitir a Witold V. Hulewicz el sentido último de éste: “el ángel de las Elegías es esa criatura en que aparece ya cumplida la transformación de lo visible en invisible que nosotros realizamos”. ¿No es tarea del lenguaje transformar la realidad visible del mundo en invisible a través de las palabras? No es de extrañar que las arquitecturas que acogen la presencia del ángel en el ciclo sean precisamente eso: palabras. Atender a la raíz estructural de las arquitecturas que recorrían cada una de las fuentes del ángel en las Elegías, respondía al segundo interrogante, y suponía someter tales secuencias arquitectónicas al orden cronológico de su gestación. Diez años que vieron nacer una nueva imagen del mundo. Así, una primera etapa de creación, entre enero y marzo de 1912 en el Castillo de Muzot, acogerá desde los textos místicos una arquitectura celestial, que como imagen interior, corresponde a la estructura circular de un tiempo eterno: son las arquitecturas de la I y II Elegía, junto a fragmentos de la VI, la IX y la X. Una segunda etapa, ya en tierras españolas por noviembre de 1912, constataba a través de la experiencia de la pintura la necesaria nupcia entre el cielo y la tierra, y las palabras que hasta entonces generaban un espacio a interpretar desde un tiempo Sub Specie Aeternitatis, son ahora vistas como un tránsito tras la caída: son las arquitecturas de la III Elegía junto a fragmentos de la X. Estructuras que insisten en la profunda crisis que sufre la mirada del poeta frente a la transitoriedad del mundo, y que arrojarían a Rilke a la más estéril improductividad. No sería hasta febrero de 1922 cuando, encerrado en el torreón de Muzot, culminaría el ciclo de Duino: son el umbral de la V y VII Elegía, junto al final de la IX y X. Y el tiempo solar como devenir, movimiento, sombra y muerte encontraba en Chartres su primera estructura de la inversión. Le seguiría Munich, ciudad en la que la tradición oriental operaba con fuerza, y de ella un mundo nunca más dual. Los límites de la mirada del hombre a través del lenguaje quedaban entonces reformulados. Auguste Rodin, Alexander von Bernus, Karl du Prel, Georg Simmel, Sigmund Freud, Rudolf Kassner, Paul Klee, Hermann Haller, Lotte Pritzel, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Frank Kafka o Paul Valéry constituyen algunos de sus compañeros de viaje. El guía no fue otro que el ángel. Y el espacio y el tiempo tanto para la poesía como para la arquitectura del futuro, aquél que media hacia la última acepción de la expresión rilkeana "Das Offen" (lo abierto) en su obra: la estética de un nuevo umbral de la creación quedaba así constituida.Ever since the crisis experienced by European culture in the late nineteenth century in the language of the arts, the correlation between architecture and literature formulated around the micro-historical study of the gestation of Duineser Elegien (1912-1922) by Rainer Maria Rilke, poses a threefold question: is there an origin to the figure of the angel in this cycle? Which constructs include his presence? Is that presence a pretext for the poet to reformulate the boundaries of man's viewpoint through language? Thus far, in response to the first question, three disparate theses support a possible origin for the presence of the angel in the Duino cycle. The first, presented by the Jesuit, Jaime Ferreiro Alemparte, defended a mystical and literary origin for the winged figure. Second, the Japanese researcher, Takatatsu Ito, claimed its origin was from the pictorial representations of El Greco. Lastly, the theory defended by Helmut Naumann, found the primary source of that figure in Chartres. Literature, painting and architecture were laid out as three of the subject areas from which Rilke built a poetic mindset in which, ¿The angel of the Elegies had nothing to do with an angel from the Christian Heaven? It is in the letter dated 13 November 1925 in which Rilke, having completed the cycle, seems to wish to convey to Witold V. Hulewicz the ultimate meaning of this figure, ¿The angel of the Elegies is that creature in which the now complete transformation of that which we have visibly created becomes that which is invisible.? Is it not language's task to transform the word's visible reality into something invisible through words? It is no wonder that the architectures that include the presence of the angel in the cycle are just that: words. The second question was answered by addressing the structural roots of the architectures that ran throughout each of the sources of the angel in the Elegies, and supposed submitting those architectural sequences to the chronological order of their gestation. Those ten years saw the birth of a new image of the world. Hence, a first stage of creation, between January and March 1912 at Duino Castle, will host, based on the mystical texts, a celestial architecture that, as an interior image, corresponds to the circular structure of an eternal time: they are the architectures of Elegies I and II, along with fragments from Elegies VI, IX and X. A second stage, and now on Spanish soil in November 1912, he observed through experiencing painting the necessary marriage between heaven and earth, and words that, until then, created a space for interpreting from a time "Sub Specie Aeternitatis" are now seen as a transition after the fall. They are the architectures of Elegy III together with fragments from Elegy X. They are the constructs that emphasize the profound crisis of the poet's point of view when facing the transience of the world, which would cast Rilke into completely sterile unproductiveness. It was not until February 1922 when, closed in the tower of Muzot, the Duino cycle would culminate. They are the threshold of Elegies V and VII, together with the end of Elegies IX and X. And it was solar time as transformation, movement, shadows and death he found in Chartres his first structure of reversal. Later he came to Munich, a city in which Eastern tradition ran strong, and from it a dual world no more. The limits of man's viewpoint through language were then reshaped. Auguste Rodin, Alexander von Bernus, Karl du Prel, Georg Simmel, Sigmund Freud, Rudolf Kassner, Paul Klee, Hermann Haller, Lotte Pritzel, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Frank Kafka and Paul Valéry are some of his fellow travellers. The guide was none other than the angel. And space and time both for poetry and for the architecture of the future, one that mediated to the last meaning of the rilkeana expression Das Offen (The Open) in his work: the aesthetics of a new threshold of creation was thus established

Guiding the humoral response against HIV-1 toward a MPER adjacent region by immunization with a VLP-formulated antibody-selected envelope variant

Preventive HIV-1 vaccine strategies rely on the elicitation of broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) responses, but their induction in vivo by vaccination remains challenging. Considering that the ability of an epitope to elicit effective humoral immunity depends on its exposure on the virion, we have used a reverse genetics approach to select variants from an HIV-1 AC10_29 randomly mutated envelope library that showed increased affinity for a selected bNAb (4E10 bNAb targeting the HIV-1 MPER region). Isolated envelope sequences were analyzed by deep-sequencing showing a small number of dominant changes, including the loss of four potential N-linked glycosylation sites and disruption of the V1/V2 loop. Accordingly, the dominant variant (LR1-C1), showed not only increased affinity for MPER bNAbs 4E10 and 2F5, but also higher affinity for an additional antibody targeting the V3 loop (447-52D) that could be a consequence of an open conformation tier 1-like Env. Furthermore, the amino acids specific for the selected variant are associated with an increased sensitivity for 4E10 and 2F5 antibodies. In vivo studies showed that sera from mice immunized with LR1-C1 viruses possessed an improved neutralizing activity compared to the wild-type AC10_29 env. While Virus Like Particles (VLPs) carrying this envelope were unable to induce detectable neutralizing activity in immunized rabbits, one animal showed antibody response to the 4E10-proximal region. Our data establish a novel approach that has the potential to yield HIV envelope immunogen sequences that direct antibody responses to specific envelope regions

Recovery of 15N Labeled Nitrogen Fertilizer by Fertigated and Drip Irrigated Greenhouse Vegetable Crops

The stable isotope 15N was used to assess the recovery of mineral N fertilizer applied to fertigated and drip-irrigated spring muskmelon and autumn-winter sweet pepper crops grown in greenhouse soil plots. They received 92–96% of mineral N fertilizer as NO3−. 15N-labeled Ca (NO3)2 fertilizer was applied to crops during vegetative growth and fruit production phases. Crops were grown with either conventional management or combined improved N and irrigation management. Improved management for both irrigation and N was based on the combined use of models, to estimate crop requirements, and of monitoring of soil parameters. In sweet pepper, from conventional management, 15N recoveries from the 15N applications made during vegetative growth and fruit production were 66% and 58%, respectively. With improved management in sweet pepper, the corresponding 15N recoveries were 82% and 77%. In muskmelon, 15N recoveries from conventional management from the 15N applications made during vegetative growth and fruit production were 71% and 42%, respectively. With improved management, the corresponding 15N recoveries were 68% and 44%, respectively. The results demonstrated that combined drip irrigation and fertigation systems with frequent irrigation and N fertilizer application can have very high recovery of applied N fertilizer, of 77–82%

Association between Active Transportation and Public Transport with an Objectively Measured Meeting of Moderate-To-Vigorous Physical Activity and Daily Steps Guidelines in Adults by Sex from Eight Latin American Countries

This study aimed to examine the associations between active transportation and public transport and the objectively measured meeting of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and steps per day guidelines in adults by sex from eight Latin American countries. As part of the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health (ELANS), data were collected from 2524 participants aged 18–65 years. MVPA and steps per day were evaluated using Actigraph GT3X accelerometers. The mode of transportation, its frequency and duration were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. The average time dedicated to active transportation was 12.8 min/day in men (IQR: 2.8–30.0) and 12.9 min/day in women (IQR: 4.3–25.7). A logistic regression analysis was conducted, showing that active transportation (≥10 min) was associated with higher odds of meeting MVPA guidelines (men: OR: 2.01; 95%CI: 1.58–2.54; women: OR: 1.57; 95%CI: 1.25–1.96). These results show a greater association when considering active transportation plus public transport (men: OR: 2.98; 95%CI: 2.31–3.91; women: OR: 1.82; 95%CI: 1.45–2.29). Active transportation plus public transport was positively associated with meeting steps per day guidelines only in men (OR: 1.55; 95%CI: 1.15–2.10). This study supports the suggestion that active transportation plus public transport is significantly associated with meeting the MVPA and daily steps recommendations.Fieldwork and data analysis formulated in the ELANS protocol was supported by a scientific grant from the Coca Cola Company (2014/24168-6), and by grant and/or support from Instituto Pensi/Hospital Infantil Sabara, International Life Science Institute of Argentina, Universidad de Costa Rica, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Universidad Central de Venezuela (CENDES-UCV)/Fundación Bengoa, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, and Instituto de Investigación Nutricional de Peru. The funding sponsors had no role in study design; the collection, analyses, or interpretation of data; writing of the manuscript; or in the decision to publish the results

The data were collected from 8185 adults. The Neighbourhood Environment Walkability-abbreviated scale was used to assess perceived urban environment attributes. Obesity indices considered were body mass index, waist circumference, neck circumference, a body shape index and waist-to-height ratio. The perception of a more and better land use mix-diversity (β - 0.44; 95% CI - 0.59, - 0.28), traffic safety (- 0.39; - 0.66, - 0.12), and safety from crime (- 0.36; - 0.57, - 0.15) was associated with lower body mass index across the entire sample. Land use mix-diversity (- 1.21; - 1.60, - 0.82), street connectivity (- 0.26; - 0.37, - 0.15), and traffic safety (- 0.79; - 1.47, - 0.12) were negatively associated with waist circumference. Land use mix-diversity (- 0.11; - 0.20, - 0.03), land use mix-access (- 0.23; - 0.34, 0.12), walking/cycling facilities (- 0.22; - 0.37, - 0.08), and safety from crime (- 0.27; - 0.42, - 0.12) were negatively associated with neck circumference. No associations between perceived urban environment attributes and a body shape index were found. Land use mix-diversity (- 0.01; - 0.02, - 0.01), aesthetics (- 0.02; - 0.03, - 0.01), and safety from crime (- 0.02; - 0.04, - 0.01) were associated with waist-to-height ratio. Environmental interventions involving urban environment attributes are associated with obesity indices and, therefore, may help decrease the prevalence of overweight and obesity.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
