De los technopaegnia carolingios a la clerecía rabínica medieval. Nuevos horizontes en la literatura medieval a la luz de la poesía comparada

The concept of «mester de clerecía» is exposed here as a broad phenomenon whose origins are in Medieval non-quantitative latin poetry, in which, after the lost of the vowels quantity, the number of syllables is determining. This work will analyze two texts from a comparative point of view: a latin poem composed in tetrastichs of pentadecasyllables during the carolingian period, attributed to Paulin of aquilea, which reflects the initial status of medieval narrative poetry «a sílabas contadas»; and a castilian poem composed in the 13th century in «cuaderna vía» written by a Jewish author: the Coplas de Yosef. Both have a common source: the story of Joseph narrated in the book of Genesis. However, the literary procedures used by both authors, as well as the final results are very different. The contrastive analysis of the two texts make us determine the ideology present in each of them and also make us pose key questions related to the concept of «mester de clerecía», its definition, limits and evolution.El concepto de «mester de clerecía» se plantea aquí como un fenómeno amplio que se inicia en la poesía mediolatina no cuantitativa, en la que el cómputo silábico se convierte en un factor determinante tras la pérdida de la cantidad de las sílabas. En este trabajo analizaremos dos textos de forma comparativa: un poema latino compuesto en el período carolingio en cuartetas pentadecasilábicas y atribuido a Paulino de aquilea, que refleja ese estadio inicial de la poesía narrativa medieval «a sílabas contadas», y un poema castellano del siglo XIII en cuaderna vía escrito por un autor judío: las Coplas de Yosef. ambos textos tienen como base el mismo tema: el relato de José narrado en el Génesis, sin embargo, la formulación del mismo, así como el resultado final son muy diferentes. El análisis contrastivo de estos poemas nos lleva a determinar la ideología que subyace a cada uno de ellos, así como a plantear cuestiones claves en relación al concepto de mester de clerecía, su definición, límites y evolución

POSTDATA – Towards publishing European poetry as linked open data

POSTDATA is a 5 year's European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Project that started in May 2016 and is hosted by the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Madrid, Spain. The context of the project is the corpora of European Poetry (EP), with a special focus on poetic materials from different languages and literary traditions. POSTDATA aims to offer a standardized model in the philological field and a metadata application profile (MAP) for EP in order to build a common classification of all these poetic materials. The information of Spanish, Italian and French repertoires will be published in the Linked Open Data (LOD) ecosystem. Later we expect to extend the model to include additional corpora. There are a number of Web Based Information Systems in Europe with repertoires of poems available to human consumption but not in an appropriate condition to be accessible and reusable by the Semantic Web. These systems are not interoperable; they are in fact locked in their databases and proprietary software, not suitable to be linked in the Semantic Web. A way to make this data interoperable is to develop a MAP in order to be able to publish this data available in the LOD ecosystem, and also to publish new data that will be created and modeled based on this MAP. To create a common data model for EP is not simple since the existent data models are based on conceptualizations and terminology belonging to their own poetical traditions and each tradition has developed an idiosyncratic analytical terminology in a different and independent way for years. The result of this uncoordinated evolution is a set of varied terminologies to explain analogous metrical phenomena through the different poetic systems whose correspondences have been hardly studied – see examples in González-Blanco & Rodríguez (2014a and b). This work has to be done by domain experts before the modeling actually starts. On the other hand, the development of a MAP is a complex task though it is imperative to follow a method for this development. The last years Curado Malta & Baptista (2012, 2013a, 2013b) have been studying the development of MAP's in a Design Science Research (DSR) methodological process in order to define a method for the development of MAPs (see Curado Malta (2014)). The output of this DSR process was a first version of a method for the development of Metadata Application Profiles (Me4MAP) (paper to be published). The DSR process is now in the validation phase of the Relevance Cycle to validate Me4MAP. The development of this MAP for poetry will follow the guidelines of Me4MAP and this development will be used to do the validation of Me4MAP. The final goal of the POSTDATA project is: i) to be able to publish all the data locked in the WIS, in LOD, where any agent interested will be able to build applications over the data in order to serve final users; ii) to build a Web platform where: a) researchers, students and other final users interested in EP will be able to access poems (and their analyses) of all databases; b) researchers, students and other final users will be able to upload poems, the digitalized images of manuscripts, and fill in the information concerning the analysis of the poem, collaboratively contributing to a LOD dataset of poetry.Starting Grant research project: Poetry Standardization and Linked Open Data: POSTDATA (ERC-2015-STG-679528), funded by European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon2020 research and innovation programme

the case of the development of a metadata application profile for european poetry

This chapter presents the early stages of a metadata application profile (MAP) development that uses a process of reverse engineering. The context of this development is the European poetry, more specifically the poetry metrics and all dimensions that exist around this context. This community of practice has a certain number of digital repertoires that store this information and that are not interoperable. This chapter presents some steps of the definition of the MAP Domain Model. It shows how the developers having as starting point these repertoires, and by means of a reverse engineering process are modeling the functional requirements of each repertoire using the use-case modeling technique and are analyzing every database logical models to extract the conceptual model of each repertoire. The final goal is to develop a common conceptual model in order to use it as basis, together with other sources of information, for the definition of the Domain Model.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Brain Sparing Effect on Neurodevelopment in Children with Intrauterine Growth Restriction: A Systematic Review.

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a pregnancy complication. Multiple studies have connected FGR to poor cognitive development, behavior disorders, and academic difficulties during childhood. Brain sparing has traditionally been defined as an adaptive phenomenon in which the brain obtains the blood flow that it needs. However, this adaptive phenomenon might not have a complete protective effect. This publication aims to systematically review the consequences of brain redistribution on neurodevelopment in children who presented with placental intrauterine growth restriction. Methods: We performed a systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines. It included studies on intrauterine growth restriction or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses, which middle cerebral artery was measured, and neurodevelopment assessed during childhood. PUBMED and EMBASE databases were searched for relevant published studies. Results: Of the 526 studies reviewed, only 12 were included. Brain sparing was associated with poor cognitive function and lower scores in IQ. Cerebral redistribution was related to better executive function and better behavior at 4 years old but not at 12 years old. Conclusions: We can assume that fetal brain sparing could not be a fully protective phenomenon. We could not find clinical differences in behavioral and executive functions because the results were heterogeneous. Some cognitive abilities could be affected in FGR brain sparing fetuses

3D numerical simulation of slope-flexible system interaction using a mixed FEM-SPH model

Flexible membranes are light structures anchored to the ground that protect infrastructures or dwellings from rock or soil sliding. One alternative to design these structures is by using numerical simulations. However, very few models were found until date and most of them are in 2D and do not include all their components. This paper presents the development of a numerical model combining Finite Element Modelling (FEM) with Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) formulation. Both cylindrical and spherical failure of the slope were simulated. One reference geometry of the slope was designed and a total of 21 slip circles were calculated considering different soil parameters, phreatic level position and drainage solutions. Four case studies were extracted from these scenarios and simulated using different dimensions of the components of the system. As a validation model, an experimental test that imitates the soil detachment and its retention by the steel membrane was successfully reproduced.The FORESEE project has received funding from the EuropeanUnion’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program undergrant agreement No 769373

Multimerization of Zika Virus-NS5 Causes Ciliopathy and Forces Premature Neurogenesis

Zika virus (ZikV) is a flavivirus that infects neural tissues, causing congenital microcephaly. ZikV has evolved multiple mechanisms to restrict proliferation and enhance cell death, although the underlying cellular events involved remain unclear. Here we show that the ZikV-NS5 protein interacts with host proteins at the base of the primary cilia in neural progenitor cells, causing an atypical non-genetic ciliopathy and premature neuron delamination. Furthermore, in human microcephalic fetal brain tissue, ZikV-NS5 persists at the base of the motile cilia in ependymal cells, which also exhibit a severe ciliopathy. Although the enzymatic activity of ZikV-NS5 appears to be dispensable, the amino acids Y25, K28, and K29 that are involved in NS5 oligomerization are essential for localization and interaction with components of the cilium base, promoting ciliopathy and premature neurogenesis. These findings lay the foundation for therapies that target ZikV-NS5 multimerization and prevent the developmental malformations associated with congenital Zika syndrome.The work in E.M.’s laboratory was supported by grants BFU2016-77498-P, BFU2016-77498-P, and La Maratò de TV3 foundation 201833-10.

Effect of Combined Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise Protocols on the Postural Stability of Patients with Non-Specific Chronic Neck Pain. A Secondary Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial

Postural stability is a little-studied factor in non-specific chronic neck pain; the causes that can alter it are unknown. The relationship with chronic pain could be a determining factor for its deficit. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sustained pain and a postural stability deficit. A randomized and blinded clinical trial (double-blind; placebo control; 12 weeks follow-up) was conducted with a total of 69 subjects divided into three groups, two experimental (manual therapy and specific exercise) and a control treatment, and carried out over a treatment period of three weeks with a follow-up after 12 weeks. Their postural stability was assessed through the overall balance index (OBI). The postural stability of subjects with non-specific chronic neck pain improved in the experimental treatments. There were no statistically significant differences between the experimental groups. This trial found that manual therapy and therapeutic exercise significantly improved OBI compared to the control group. Trial registration: Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry, RBR-2vj7sw

La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Municipios de Valledupar, Pueblo Bello y Corregimientos de Aguas Blancas y Mariangola

Durante los últimos cincuenta años la historia de nuestro país ha estado marcada por el enfrentamiento de varios actores que en medio de su guerra han dejado a su paso miles y millones de víctimas en todo el territorio nacional. El presente documento es un acercamiento reflexivo y argumentativo desde el enfoque narrativo que se realizó a un relato “tomado del libro” “Voces: relatos de violencia y esperanza en Colombia”. “(Banco mundial, 2009);” “la historia seleccionada es la de Camilo un chico de raíces afrocolombianas,” quien estuvo en la mira de la “fuerza pública y grupos armados” para formar parte de sus filas de manera forzosa, sufrió una serie de impactos que van desde la vulneración de sus derechos hasta daños morales y psicológicos, sin embargo, a pesar de lo sucedido ha seguido en la lucha de poder superarse, de sobreponerse al dolor, a las pérdidas y darle un nuevo sentido a su vida. Analizando dicho relato y basándonos en la herramienta del cómo preguntar, se construyeron una serie de interrogantes con el propósito de indagar más en su caso. Así mismo se lleva a cabo un análisis sobre “el caso Peñas Coloradas”, extraído de “(Comisión de la verdad, 2019);” donde un caserío se ve en la necesidad de desplazarse debido a la llegada y hostigamiento del ejército, cuyas afectaciones a nivel personal y colectivo son altamente devastadoras, para la cual se proponen una serie de estrategias psicosociales en procura de favorecer los recursos y potencialidades de las personas que se vieron afectadas. Para finalizar, presentaremos algunas consideraciones sobre la experiencia “Foto voz” realizada anteriormente, en ella hacemos una aproximación a cinco contextos diferentes en escenarios violentos, que permiten evidenciar la resistencia de las personas dentro de cada problemática presentada en el transcurrir del conflicto. A través de estas imágenes no solo se expresan las huellas que deja en la memoria de las personas y sociedades; si no también la voz de no repetición de lo sucedido y una búsqueda constante de superación.During the last fifty years, the history of our country has been marked by the confrontation of various actors who,” in the midst of their war, have left behind thousands and millions of victims throughout the national territory.” This document is a reflective and argumentative approach from the narrative approach that was made to a story "taken from the book" "Voices: stories of violence and hope in Colombia". “(World Bank, 2009);” The selected story is that “of Camilo", a boy with Afro-Colombian roots, who was targeted by the "public force and armed groups" to be forced into their ranks, suffered a series of impacts ranging from the violation of her rights to moral and psychological damages, however, despite what happened, she has continued in the struggle to be able to overcome herself, to overcome the pain, the losses and give a new meaning to her life. Analyzing this story and based on the tool of how to ask, a series of questions were constructed with the purpose of investigating more in his case. Likewise, “an analysis is carried out on” "the Peñas Coloradas case", extracted from "(Truth Commission, 2019);" “where a village finds itself in the need to move due to the arrival and harassment of the army, whose affectations at a personal and collective level are highly devastating, for which a “series of psychosocial strategies are proposed”in an attempt to favor the resources and potentialities of the people who were affected.” Finally, we will present some considerations about the "Photo voice" “experience carried out previously,” in it we make an approximation to five different contexts in violent scenarios, which allow us to demonstrate the resistance of people within each problem presented in the course of the conflict. Through these images not only the traces left in the memory of people and societies are expressed; if not also the voice of non-repetition of what happened and a constant search for improvement
