Filmando el rostro de la muerte: representaciones del verdugo en S-21: La máquina de matar y The Act of Killing

El presente texto analiza las representaciones de los verdugos en los documentales S-21: La máquina de matar (S-21, la machine de mort Khmère rouge, Rithy Panh, 2003) y The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer, Christine Cynn, 2012). En dicho análisis se estudian las diferentes estrategias de representación empleadas en dichos largometrajes para acometer una presentificación del pasado mediante la memoria gestual o los procesos de empatía, de los que son partícipes algunos de los torturadores y asesinos del régimen de los jemeres rojos, en el primer caso, y de los escuadrones de la muerte responsables de la matanza de comunistas en Indonesia entre 1965 y 1966, en el segundo. Para abordar dicho estudio, se propone una reflexión en torno a cómo los modos de representación dominantes han tratado ambos episodios históricos y se establece a continuación una estructura de tres fases correspondientes a las estrategias adoptadas por los cineastas: confrontación entre los verdugos y las víctimas, reinterpretación de los actos de tortura y asesinato y pervivencia del pasado en los espacios vacíos. Para ello se lleva a cabo un análisis fílmico de sendas películas centrado en el análisis y la descripción de la puesta en escena y la expresividad de los rostros de los verdugos, en particular en aquellas secuencias que ponen en común el discurso de ambos autores

Influencia de factores ecológicos (altitud) en el contenido y composición de la esencia de dos muestras de Thymus zygis L., recolectadas en distintas localidades

In two shapes of T. zygis L. recolected in places of a diferent altitude we try to correlationate the altitude with the content and composition of their essential oils. A comparative study of the results we obtained leads us to the conclussion of a variability in the contents of the essential oils as well as their cuantitative composition.En dos muestras de T. zygis L., recolectadas en lugares de altitud diferente, intentamos correlacionar la altitud con el contenido y composición de sus aceites esenciales. El estudio comparativo de los resultados obtenidos nos pone de manifiesto la existencia de una variabilidad tanto en el contenido del aceite esencial como en su composición cuantitativa

Dietary Intake of Metals from Fresh Cage-Reared Hens’ Eggs in Tenerife, Canary Islands

The concentrations of 20 metals (Na, K, Ca, Mg, V, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mo, Co, B, Ba, Sr, Ni, Si, Al, Pb, and Cd) in cage-reared hens’ eggs have been determined in this study using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). There were significant differences in the metal content depending on the edible part of the egg, with the yolk having the greater concentrations of metals. The daily consumption of eggs (24.3 g/person/day for children and 31.2 g/person/day for adults) contributes to the intake of trace metals, notably Fe (3.8% children, 3.2% women, and 6.5% men) and Zn (4.5% children, 6.6% women, and 4.9% men). In addition, the consumption of eggs does not imply a high contribution of toxic metals

Dietary Exposure to Toxic Metals (Cd, Pb and Hg) from Cereals Marketed in Madeira and the Azores

ABSTRACT: Cereals and cereal-based foods continue to be basic foods in all diets. Despite being known for their high nutritional value; they can also contain contaminants (hazards) such as toxic metals. This study assesses the Cd, Pb and Hg dietary exposure from cereals and derivatives marketed in Madeira and the Azores and characterizes the risks by evaluating the Cd and Hg intake contributions to the tolerable intakes and by estimating the Margin of Exposure (MOE) in the case of Pb. In Madeira, metals follow the descending order of Cd > Pb > Hg. Cd stands out as having the highest levels (0.307 mg Cd/kg in oats; 0.237 mg/kg in rye). High levels of Pb (0.347 mg/kg) were also detected in rye. Regarding total mercury, rice stands out (0.0013 mg/kg) followed by wheat (0.001 mg/kg). While all cereals and derivatives except maize consumed in Madeira exceed the maximum value of Cd allowed by the EU, 50.0% of the rye and 25.0% of the corn flour samples exceeded the European Pb limit. The daily consumption of 100 g of oats, rye flour and rye represent high contributions to the TWI of Cd (93.2 – 120%). The MOE values of Pb from the consumption of rye (100 g/day) are 1,294 (nephrotoxic effects) and 3,082 (cardiotoxic effects). In the Azores, corn flour (0.72 mg Pb/kg) stands out with 85.7% of the samples exceeding the maximum Pb EU limit and MOE values of 626 (nephrotoxic effects) and 1,490 (cardiotoxic effects). Regular daily consumption of corn flour makes a low (< 10%) contribution to the Cd TDI. In conclusion, the Pb exposure from the consumption of cereals and derivatives could have toxic effects such as nephrotoxicity or cardiotoxicity in adults. The results highlight the need to set up monitoring and surveillance programs for the safety of cereals and their derivatives in Madeira and the Azores in terms of lead and cadmium.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Does gender matter? A cross-national investigation of primary class-room discipline.

© 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis GroupFewer than 15% of primary school teachers in both Germany and the UK are male. With the on-going international debate about educational performance highlighting the widening gender achievement gap between girl and boy pupils, the demand for more male teachers has become prevalent in educational discourse. Concerns have frequently been raised about the underachievement of boys, with claims that the lack of male ‘role models’ in schools has an adverse effect on boys’ academic motivation and engagement. Although previous research has examined ‘teaching’ as institutional talk, men’s linguistic behaviour in the classroom remains largely ignored, especially in regard to enacting discipline. Using empirical spoken data collected from four primary school classrooms in both the UK and in Germany, this paper examines the linguistic discipline strategies of eight male and eight female teachers using Interactional Sociolinguistics to address the question, does teacher gender matter?Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio
