Estudio crítico-textual del libro III de NA de Claudio Eliano: normativismo y cuestiones de método para la edición de la obra

The authoress of this paper develops a critical study on the main debatable passages of the text of the third book of De natura animalium (NA) by Aelian. (III 2. 60.20-24; 3. 60.27; 18. 67.12-13; 21. 68.1; 22. 69.7-10; 23. 69.17-20; 26. 71.23; 26. 71.28-9; 38. 75.29; 42. 77.15; 44. 77.27). In the analysis she attempts to demonstrate, on the one hand, that the language of Aelian is still very poorly known, and how it is necessary to eliminate the conjectures and the alterations which had been arbitrarily made by earlier critics, and to prepare an edition of this work in order to understand well many key passages of his work. On the other hand, she exposes and applies the Textkritisch method, as the koiné literary texts need a rigourous and differenciated treatment that takes into account the period’s literary vogue, the evolution and language uses, namely in the phonetic, morphological and syntactic peculiarities of late Greek prose together with the author’s usage. Despite all those considerations, Aelian’s works has usually been judged and analysed through classical Greek standards. This research is a new contribution to the knowledge of the language of Aelian, of postclassical Greek and of ecdotics for Greek texts of the imperial period.La autora de este artículo lleva a cabo un estudio crítico textual de los principales pasajes discutibles del libro tercero de De natura animalium (NA) de Claudio Eliano (III 2.60.20-24; III 3.60.27; III 18.67.12-13; III 21.68.1; III 22.69.7-10; III 23.69.17-20; III 26.71.23; III 26.71.28-9; III 38.75.29; III 42.77.15 y III 44.77.27). En el análisis, ha intentado demostrar, por un lado, el desconocimiento que se tiene aún de la lengua de Eliano para comprender bien su texto, eliminar correcciones y enmiendas que han sido hechas arbitrariamente por anteriores criticos y editar la obra; por otro lado, desarrolla y aplica las líneas metodológicas crítico-textuales principales: los textos literarios de la koiné requieren un tratamiento rigurosamente diferenciado, teniendo en cuenta la corriente literaria de la época, la evolución y el uso de la lengua, sus peculiaridades fonéticas, morfológicas y sintácticas de la prosa griega tardía, y el uso del autor. Sin embargo, se ha seguido juzgando y analizando su obra teniendo en cuenta la normativa del griego clásico. La investigación es una nueva contribución al conocimiento de la lengua de Eliano, del griego postclásico y de la ecdótica para textos griegos de la época imperial

Estudio crítico-textual de Adversus indoctum de Luciano

The aim of this paper is to study the textual tradition of this work by Lucian. The author discusses the text of several passages and she contends that the text ought not be altered, because the manuscript tradition in these passages is correct. The main support for this view is supported by the knowledge we have today about the koine language of the Hellenistic and Greek- Roman period and Lucian's style.No disponible

Reminiscencias de Timón de Luciano en La Hora de todos y la Fortuna con seso de Quevedo

13 p.Luciano y Quevedo, dos genios, prolíficos, tan separados en el tiempo, están muy próximos en su talante intelectual, satírico y filosófico a la vez, en la dura crítica que ambos realizan a la realidad que a cada uno le ha tocado vivir, dos mundos en crisis, de los que rezuma, con gran humor e ironía, un profundo pesimism

Ciencia y moral: Eliano desde Aristóteles y a la luz del estoicismo y la “zoofilia” moderna

This paper is a study of the De natura animalium of Aelian under the influence received, mainly, from the Aristotle in his biological and ethics works as well as from the Stoics. In this ideological setting the author analyzes in detail the moral qualities of the irrational beings in the Aelian's work. The investigation ends with a comparison about moral consideration of animals between the propositions of Aelian and the modern and contemporary authors.Se estudia De natura animalium de Eliano bajo la influencia recibida, principalmente, de la doctrina de Aristóteles en sus obras de biología y ética así como de la de los Estoicos. En ese marco ideológico se analizan con detalle las cualidades morales de los irracionales en la obra griega. La autora presenta, finalmente, una comparación de la postura de Eliano acerca de la consideración moral de los animales con la de algunos autores modernos y contemporáneos

Decreased incidence of pressure ulcers in intensive care: a program goal of improving care

INTRODUCCIÓN. En sanidad, la aparición de úlceras por presión (upp), es considerado un fracaso asistencial y un gran reto al que se enfrenta el profesional de Enfermería. En cuidados intensivos, objetivamos una serie de factores que aumentan el riesgo de aparición y desarrollo de upp. Como enfermeros, tomamos conciencia de nuestro papel en la prevención y tratamiento de las upp en nuestra unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI-1, Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias) y emprendimos medidas para disminuirlas y mejorar la calidad asistencial proporcionada. OBJETIVOS. Aumentar la calidad asistencial Disminuir las tasas de úlceras por presión MATERIAL Y MÉTODO. Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo. Muestra, N: 1265 enfermos. Realizándose seguimiento diario de enfermos a través de hoja de valoración específica. Los enfermos valorados presentaban riesgo medio- alto de padecer upp por escala Braden y riesgo bajo por dicha escala pero con condiciones particulares de riesgo objetivables. Se introducen medidas preventivas consensuadas por el equipo investigador (descritas en el trabajo de investigación). RESULTADOS. Bajada significativa de las tasas de incidencia a los cuatro meses de introducir medidas estandarizadas de prevención y mejora asistencial. CONCLUSIONES. La concienciación y unificación de criterios preventivos y de tratamiento resultó ser decisiva en la bajada significativa de la incidencia de upp y en el logro de aumento de la calidad asistencial real percibida por todo el equipo interdisciplinar.INTRODUCTION.

Measurement of the cosmic ray spectrum above 4×10184{\times}10^{18} eV using inclined events detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory

A measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum for energies exceeding $4{\times}10^{18}$ eV is presented, which is based on the analysis of showers with zenith angles greater than $60^{\circ}$ detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013. The measured spectrum confirms a flux suppression at the highest energies. Above $5.3{\times}10^{18}$ eV, the "ankle", the flux can be described by a power law $E^{-\gamma}$ with index $\gamma=2.70 \pm 0.02 \,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.1\,\text{(sys)}$ followed by a smooth suppression region. For the energy ($E_\text{s}$) at which the spectral flux has fallen to one-half of its extrapolated value in the absence of suppression, we find $E_\text{s}=(5.12\pm0.25\,\text{(stat)}^{+1.0}_{-1.2}\,\text{(sys)}){\times}10^{19}$ eV.Comment: Replaced with published version.

Energy Estimation of Cosmic Rays with the Engineering Radio Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is part of the Pierre Auger Observatory and is used to detect the radio emission of cosmic-ray air showers. These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30 to 80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy deposit per area is determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated using a two-dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due to interference between the geomagnetic and charge-excess emission components. The spatial integral over the signal distribution gives a direct measurement of the energy transferred from the primary cosmic ray into radio emission in the AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a 1 EeV air shower arriving perpendicularly to the geomagnetic field. This radiation energy -- corrected for geometrical effects -- is used as a cosmic-ray energy estimator. Performing an absolute energy calibration against the surface-detector information, we observe that this radio-energy estimator scales quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy as expected for coherent emission. We find an energy resolution of the radio reconstruction of 22% for the data set and 17% for a high-quality subset containing only events with at least five radio stations with signal.Comment: Replaced with published version.

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8 \pm 0.7 (stat) \pm 6.7 (sys) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from state-of-the-art first-principle calculations shows agreement with our measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory.Comment: Replaced with published version.
