La ira divina en el profeta Isaías: estudio desde la semántica de marcos

Tesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Filología, leída el 19/09/2017The thesis analyzes the semantic function of the following wrath-associated lexemes within the Masoretic Text of the Book of Isaiah: אנף , אף , זעם , חמה , חרה , חָרוֹן , חֳרִי , כעס , עֶבְרָה , קצף , רוח , זעף , קִנְאָה , עזוז , רגז . The occurrence of each word within Isaiah is analyzed in light of its historical and literary context. In total, twenty-seven literary units are examined. The objectives of the research are to propose explanations for how themes associated with wrath evolve diachronically and function synchronically as literary strategies for reading the final form of the Book of Isaiah. Chapter 1 details the interpretive method used to meet these objectives assumes the linguistic notion of ‘text cohesiveness’. The cohesiveness of a text implies that words and clauses are syntactically and semantically linked to their larger literary co-texts. Based on this assumption, the following interrelated steps are used in the analysis of wrath-associated lexemes and their corresponding literary co-texts in Chapters 2-6. First, each text is analyzed by defining the type of text that is being read (i.e., genre criticism) and by defining the nature of its relationship to other texts within Isaiah (i.e., intertextuality). Second, we propose how each unit introduces or comments on themes related to wrath within the book of Isaiah. Recent research confirms that large portions of the Book of Isaiah were written in light of earlier portions (i.e., Fortschreibung). This text process compels us to determine how wrath-associated texts exerted influence in subsequent portions of the book. Third, the meaning and function of wrath-associated lexemes are related to the historical and religious occasions that gave shape to the text within Isaiah. Fourth, conclusions reached from text analysis are organized using the categories and terminology of Berkely’s FrameNet Index based on the Frame Semantics of Charles Fillmore. Frame Semantics assumes that lexical units are only understood when the background concepts (i.e., ‘frame elements’) related to a lexical unit are ascertained. Therefore, we correspond the syntax of a clause to the background concept it conveys. For instance, a prepositional clause may depict the ‘Instrument of wrath’ (‘a frame element’) within a text that announces Punishment (‘the frame’). The correspondence between the syntax of a clause and its background concept (‘frame element’) depicts the function of lexemes within their original literary units and within the final form of the Book of Isaiah...La tesis estudia la función semántica de los siguientes lexemas de Texto Masorético del Libro de Isaías asociados con la ira: אנף , אף , זעם , חמה , חרה , חָרוֹן , חֳרִי , כעס , עֶבְרָה , קצף , רוח , זעף , קִנְאָה , עזוז , רגז . Las instancias de cada vocablo son analizadas a la luz de su contexto histórico y literario. En total se examinan veintisiete unidades. El objetivo de la investigación es explicar cómo la evolución diacrónica y la función sincrónica de los temas asociados con la ira sirven de estrategias literarias para dar la forma final del Libro de Isaías. El capítulo 1 plantea el método empleado para alcanzar este objetivo como la noción lingüística de la ‘cohesión textual’. La coherencia de un texto dado implica que tanto su léxico como sus oraciones estén sintáctica y semánticamente vinculadas a sus co-textos literarios. Este principio metodológico orienta los pasos que se siguen en el análisis de los lexemas de ira y sus correspondientes co-textos literarios en los capítulos 2-6. En primer lugar se estudia cada texto con relación a su definición tipológica (abordaje desde la Crítica de las formas) y con relación a la naturaleza de su vinculación a otros textos de Isaías (abordaje desde la Intertextualidad). En segundo lugar, analizamos cómo cada unidad introduce, o comenta, los temas del Libro de Isaías asociados con ira. Estudios recientes han puesto de manifiesto que las secciones mayores de Isaías fueron redactadas a partir de anteriores secciones menores (abordaje desde la Fortschreibung). Este proceso redaccional nos lleva a tratar de determinar la influencia de los textos asociados con la ira sobre las secciones posteriores del libro. En tercer lugar, se procede a asociar el significado y la función de los lexemas de ira con las circunstancias históricas y religiosas que conformaron el texto como parte de Isaías...Fac. de FilologíaTRUEunpu

Two new Phoretomorphic Siteroptes from Galleries of the Southern Pine Beetle (Acarina: Pyemotidae).

Zwei neue phoretische Arten, Siteroptes fusarii und S. trichoderma werden beschrieben. Die Gattung Pediculaster Vitzthum, 1931 und Pygmephorellus Groos & Moser, 1971, werden als Synonyme des früheren Namens Siteroptes Amerling, 1861, erklärt; denn die ersten beiden Gattungen sind errichtet auf phoretischen Formen von Arten, die als Siteroptes beschrieben sind. Obwohl beide neue Arten zusammen unter der Rinde von Pinus taeda gefunden wurden, unterschied sich ihre Lebensweise beträchtlich, und sie ernährten sich offensichtlich von verschiedenen Pilzen. Die beiden neuen Arten wurden in Laborkulturen durch den U.S. Service, Pineville, Louisiana gezüchtet. Dabei wurde entdeckt, dass es zwei verschiedene weibliche Formen für jede dieser Arten gibt und das diese nicht getrennten Gattungen angehören, wie vorher angenommen worden war.Nomenklatorische Handlungenfusarii Smiley & Moser, 1976 (Siteroptes), spec. n.trichoderma Smiley & Moser, 1976 (Siteroptes), spec. n.Two new phoretomorphic species, Siteroptes fusarii and S. trichoderma are discribed. The genera Pediculaster Vitzthum, 1931 and Pygmephorellus Groos & Moser, 1971, are synonymized unter the earlier name Siteroptes Amerling, 1861, because the first two names are based on Phoretomorphic forms of species described in Siteroptes. Specimens of the two new species were reared in laboratory culture by the U.S. Forest Service, Pineville, Louisiana. It was discovered that there were two different distinct female forms for each species and are not separate generic taxa as previously assigned.Nomenclatural Actsfusarii Smiley & Moser, 1976 (Siteroptes), spec. n.trichoderma Smiley & Moser, 1976 (Siteroptes), spec. n

Perceived usefulness of expert systems for MBA advisement: A discriminant model

Based on questionnaire data collected from 123 AACSB-accredited business schools, a discriminant model was developed to generate a descriptive profile of MBA Advisors in regard to their perceived usefulness of expert systems (ESs) for advising MBA students. Characteristics related to organization, advisee, advisor, and job/task structures were considered in formulating the model. Stepwise discriminant analysis resulted in 8 out of 15 independent variables entering the model

A Modular Regularized Variational Multiscale Proper Orthogonal Decomposition for Incompressible Flows

In this paper, we propose, analyze and test a post-processing implementation of a projection-based variational multiscale (VMS) method with proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The projection-based VMS stabilization is added as a separate post-processing step to the standard POD approximation, and since the stabilization step is completely decoupled, the method can easily be incorporated into existing codes, and stabilization parameters can be tuned independent from the time evolution step. We present a theoretical analysis of the method, and give results for several numerical tests on benchmark problems which both illustrate the theory and show the proposed method's effectiveness

Third-person self-talk facilitates emotion regulation without engaging cognitive control: Converging evidence from ERP and fMRI.

Does silently talking to yourself in the third-person constitute a relatively effortless form of self control? We hypothesized that it does under the premise that third-person self-talk leads people to think about the self similar to how they think about others, which provides them with the psychological distance needed to facilitate self control. We tested this prediction by asking participants to reflect on feelings elicited by viewing aversive images (Study 1) and recalling negative autobiographical memories (Study 2) using either I or their name while measuring neural activity via ERPs (Study 1) and fMRI (Study 2). Study 1 demonstrated that third-person self-talk reduced an ERP marker of self-referential emotional reactivity (i.e., late positive potential) within the first second of viewing aversive images without enhancing an ERP marker of cognitive control (i.e., stimulus preceding negativity). Conceptually replicating these results, Study 2 demonstrated that third-person self-talk was linked with reduced levels of activation in an a priori defined fMRI marker of self-referential processing (i.e., medial prefrontal cortex) when participants reflected on negative memories without eliciting increased levels of activity in a priori defined fMRI markers of cognitive control. Together, these results suggest that third-person self-talk may constitute a relatively effortless form of self-control

Alimentación de los leptocéfalos de las anguilas gusano Myrophis spp. (Teleostei: Perciformes: Ophichthidae) basada en protistas y partículas, y la potencial contribución energética de los grandes protozoos aloricados

The food sources of the leptocephali of the teleostean superorder Elopomorpha have been controversial, yet observations on the leptocephali of the worm eels, Myrophis spp. (family Ophichthidae) collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico indicate active, not passive, feeding. Leptocephali had protists in their alimentary canals. Estimates of the physiological energetics of worm eels indicate that large aloricate protozoa including ciliates could provide substantial energy to these leptocephali toward the end of the premetamorphic and metamorphic stages, given the low energy requirements of metamorphosing leptocephali. Global ocean warming will likely force a shift in oceanic food webs; a shift away from large protozoa toward smaller protists is possible. Such a disruption of the oceanic food webs could further compromise the survival of leptocephali.Las fuentes de alimento de los leptocéfalos del superorden de los teleósteos Elopomorpha ha sido controvertida. Sin embargo, las observaciones realizadas en leptocéfalos de las anguilas gusano, Myrophis spp. (Familia Ophichthidae) recolectados en el norte del Golfo de México indican una alimentación activa, no pasiva. Los leptocéfalos tenían protistas en sus tubos digestivos. Las estimaciones de la fisiología energética de las anguilas gusano indican que, dados los bajos requerimientos energéticos de los leptocéfalos durante la metamorfosis, los grandes protozoos ciliados aloricados, incluyendo ciliados, podrían proporcionar sustancial energía a estos leptocéfalos hacia el final de las etapas premetamórficas y metamórficas. El calentamiento global de los océanos es probable que fuerce un cambio en las redes alimenticias oceánicas; y es posible un desplazamiento de los grandes protozoos hacia pequeños protistas. Estas perturbaciones de las redes alimenticias oceánicas podrían poner en peligro la supervivencia de los leptocéfalos
