Un cuento olvidado de María Teresa León

Firmado por Isabel Inghirami, seudónimo con el que publicó sus primeros escritos Maria Teresa León, vio la luz en las páginas de Revista de la Raza, en febrero y marzo de 1925, un cuento titulado "En los tentáculos de los siglos". Se inscribe este relato en la órbita de los que componen la colección La bella del mal amor. Cuentos castellanos (1930), y es como ellos deudor de la tradición, pero no tanto de la literaria como de la artística. En su escritura hubieron de influir de modo importante las imágenes proporcionadas por la pintura y la fotografía en las décadas de 1910 y 1920, y sobre todo la Exposición de trajes regionales celebrada en abril de 1925, que alcanzó gran relevancia.A short story titled "En los tentáculos de los siglos" and signed by Isabel Inghirami, pseudonym with which Maria Teresa Leon published his first writings, it appeared in the pages of the Revista de la Raza, in February and March of 1925. This story is similar to these included in La bella del mar amor. Cuentos castellanos (1930), that depends on the literary and the artistic tradition, specially on the last. In this forgotten story, is evident the influence of the images provided by the painting and the photography in the decades of 1910's and 1920's, and the influence of the Exhibition of regional customes celebrated in April of 1925, too

Methodology for Thermal Behaviour Assessment of Homogeneous Façades in Heritage Buildings

[EN] It is fundamental to study the thermal behaviour in all architectural constructions throughout their useful life, in order to detect early deterioration ensuring durability, in addition to achieving and maintaining the interior comfort with the minimum energy consumption possible. This research has developed a methodology to assess the thermal behaviour of facades in heritage buildings. This paper presents methodology validation and verification (V & V) through a laboratory experiment. Guidelines and conclusions are extracted with the employment of three techniques in this experiment (thermal sensors, thermal imaging camera, and 3D thermal simulation in finite element software). A small portion of a homogeneous facade has been reproduced with indoor and outdoor thermal conditions. A closed chamber was constructed with wood panels and thermal insulation, leaving only one face exposed to the outside conditions, with a heat source inside the chamber that induces a temperature gradient in the wall. With this methodology, it is possible to better understand the thermal behaviour of the facade and to detect possible damage with the calibration and comparison of the results obtained by the experimental and theoretical techniques. This methodology can be extrapolated to the analysis of the thermal behaviour of facades in heritage buildings, usually made up of homogeneous material.Gil Benso, E.; Lerma Elvira, C.; Vercher Sanchis, JM.; Mas Tomas, MDLA.

Structural Flexural Bending Assessment of Prestressed Concrete Joist with Corrosion

[EN] The number of situations where it is necessary to intervene in existing structures is increasing. In Spain, rehabilitation and maintenance of buildings accounts for 30% of the activity of the construction sector and it is growing. This paper evaluates the residual safety of T prestressed joists with severe corrosion at the lower reinforcement. The reliability is assessed with the application of the ACI-318 load test. It is demonstrated that there is sufficient safety in cases of corroded prestressed joists. At any rate, it¿s recommended to make a light repair under the damaged joists.Vercher Sanchis, JM.; Gil Benso, E.; Mas Tomas, MDLA.; Lerma Elvira, C. (2013).

Influence of immigration on tuberculosis transmission patterns in Castellón, Spain (2004–2007)

Objetivo Describir los patrones de transmisión de la tuberculosis en Castellón en un periodo de importantes cambios demográficos. Métodos Estudio prospectivo descriptivo de los pacientes con cultivo positivo en la provincia de Castellón entre 2004 y2007. Se describen los pacientes por año y nacionalidad, y se cotejan con los casos declarados a la Dirección General de Salud Pública (DGSP). Se estudia la población con patrón molecular disponible por RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) y se analizan las variables de los pacientes agrupados (clusters) a partir de los datos de la DGSP y del Programa de Gestión del Laboratorio. Resultados Según la DGSP, la tasa global de tuberculosis por 100.000 habitantes en la provincia de Castellón fue de 15,7 en 2004, 19,9 en 2005, 18,2 en 2006 y 17,5 en 2007. En nuestro laboratorio se identificaron las cepas de 301 pacientes, que suponen el 77% (301/390) de los casos declarados y el 94% (301/321) aquellos con cultivo positivo. El porcentaje de tuberculosis en extranjeros aumentó hasta superar el 50% en 2007. Se disponía de estudio molecular en el 95% de los casos (286), con un 58% de españoles y un 42% de extranjeros. El porcentaje de agregación fue del 40%, con un 30% de clusters mixtos. Según el estudio convencional de contactos, el 85% de los pacientes en cluster habían sido considerados casos aislados. Conclusiones El aumento de la tasa de tuberculosis en Castellón se debe, principalmente, al creciente número de los casos en extranjeros. Disponer del estudio molecular de todos los pacientes con cultivo positivo nos ha permitido analizar cómo y dónde se transmite la tuberculosis. El 40% de los pacientes se agruparon en clusters, y eran mixtos un tercio de ellos, lo que indica una elevada integración de los inmigrantes.Background This study aimed to identify tuberculosis transmission patterns in Castellón in a period of major demographic changes. Methods A prospective study of patients with positive culture in the province of Castellon over a 4-year period (2004–2007) was carried out. Cases were described by year and nationality and were compared with those reported to the Department of Public Health. We studied the population with available molecular patterns, identified through restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and analyzed the variables from patient clusters, based on data collected in surveys of the Department of Health and the Laboratory Management Program. Results According to data from the Department of Public Health, the overall rate of tuberculosis per 100,000 inhabitants in the province of Castellón was 15.7 in 2004, 19.9 in 2005, 18.2 in 2006 and 17.5 in 2007. In our laboratory, strains were identified from 301 patients, representing 77% (301/390) of reported cases and 94% (301/321) of reported cases with a positive culture. The percentage of tuberculosis among foreigners increased with age, exceeding 50% in 2007. Molecular studies were available in 95% of patients (286); 58% were Spanish and 42% were foreigners, of whom 54% were Romanians. The cluster percentage was 40%, with 30% of mixed clusters. According to conventional contact studies, 85% of patients in clusters had been considered isolated cases. Conclusions The increased rate of tuberculosis in Castellón was mainly due to the increasing number of cases among foreigners, mostly Romanians. The availability of molecular studies in all patients with a positive culture allowed us to analyze how and where tuberculosis is transmitted in our province. Forty percent of the patients were grouped into clusters; of these, mixed clusters accounted for one third, indicating the high integration of immigrants in our area

Flexural Strengthening of Damaged T-Joists with Severe Corrosion Using CFRP Sheets

[EN] This paper evaluates the residual safety of isolated T-joists with severe corrosion for the two extreme cases of boundary conditions, simply supported and fixed-ended, in order to help in making decisions about the magnitude of the necessary intervention. When the T-joist is part of a complete slab, the boundary conditions will be in an intermediate situation between these two extreme cases, so that it is possible to assess the safety with respect to its degree of embedding. The research is conducted for the cases of healthy T-joist, T-joist with complete corrosion of the lower reinforcement, and repaired T-joists with a variable number of CFRP sheets. This work is based on the ACI 318 load test to maintain a structure in use and proposes a Load Factor (LF), which estimates the safety reserve. The simply supported T-joists specimens with severe corrosion do not meet the Load Factor or ACI 318 criteria, even with a large number of CFRP sheets. On the other hand, fixed-ended cases can be kept in use despite corrosion by applying light CFRP strengthening, and with four sheets the initial safety is restored.Vercher Sanchis, JM.; Gil Benso, E.; Mas Tomas, MDLA.; Lerma Elvira, C.; Torner Feltrer, MEM.

Perception of the Sustainable Development Goals among university students: A multidisciplinary perspective

This study explores the variations in perceptions and understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among university students, influenced by their field of study and gender. To this end, we introduced the 17 SDGs across various academic disciplines. Students participated in a concise educational initiative, with data being gathered to evaluate their baseline awareness and comprehension (before the initiative) as well as their ensuing empowerment (after participating in the initiative, which equipped them with essential knowledge pertaining to the various SDGs). Additionally, the satisfaction levels associated with the initiative was assessed. The findings unveil that, generally, Spanish university students possess a restricted grasp of the SDGs. However, students immersed in Social-Legal (S-L) sciences exhibit a significantly heightened acquaintance with these objectives compared to their counterparts. Students perceive the impact of the SDGs on their lives as moderate to high and anticipate that their individual contributions can facilitate moderate progress towards the realization of these goals, with S-L science students manifesting a greater sense of empowerment. Moreover, the study underscores a pronounced interest among university students in engaging with the SDGs. Gender appeared to have a minimal effect on the evaluated variables, with the exception of satisfaction levels concerning the educational initiative.This work has been partially funded by the Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación (ICE) of the University of Alicante through their ’Programa de redes de investigación en docencia universitaria’ in the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 editions

Evaluación del índice de seguridad real en las construcciones

Póster presentado en la sesión dedicada a Ámbitos, Innovación y Calidad, en las IV Jornadas Internacionales sobre Investigación en Arquitectura y Urbanismo.Este trabajo tiene como intención evaluar el índice de seguridad real calculando la carga última de una construcción y compararla con la que nos proporcionan los métodos de cálculo clásicos. Para este análisis se modeliza en el programa de elementos finitos Ansys la estructura en tres dimensiones y sus secciones como sólidos. Se contempla el comportamiento real de los materiales, teniendo en cuenta la no linealidad, fisuración, aplastamiento, plastificación, fluencia y endurecimiento por tensión de las armaduras. Empleamos nuestro método para poder analizar el índice de seguridad restante cuando existe una patología, como cuando desaparece el armado inferior de una vigueta. El modelo lo hemos contrastado con resultados de ensayos experimentales de elementos sencillos, como una viga armada en T a flexión, y un fragmento de pilar a compresión. En estos momentos estamos realizando el modelo de sólidos de una estructura compleja: viguetas, capa de compresión, vigas y pilares.Gil Benso, E.; Vercher Sanchis, JM.; Mas Tomas, MDLA. (2012).
