Biopolítica de la animalidad en la obra poética de Joaquín Giannuzz

―La biopolítica de la animalidad en la obra poética de Joaquín Giannuzzi‖, es un trabajo de investigación que busca, a través de la crítica literaria y el análisis textual, repensar el rol del animal dentro del panorama cultural y literario de Latinoamérica. Así, el presente documento destaca los elementos necesarios para entender, desde la voz del poeta, cuales son las posibilidades de vida del ser-animal en un mundo que ejerce sobre estos una biopolítica capaz de subyugarlos a la zoé o enaltecerlos en la bios. De igual manera, con gran agudeza, Joaquín Giannuzzi evoca las dificultades, el gozo, y la neutralidad en la que aparentemente habita el animal dentro de la sociedad y su ambiente natural. Por esta razón, se realizó una interpretación apropiada que permite legitimar la obra poética desde la biopolítica de la animalidad; y además, desentramar algunas expresiones estéticas que favorecen la enseñanza aprendizaje de la poesía en el ámbito universitario

Association of meal timing with body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults

Purpose To investigate the association of meal timing with body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults. Methods In this cross-sectional study participated 118 young adults (82 women; 22 ± 2 years old; BMI: 25.1 ± 4.6 kg/m2). Meal timing was determined via three non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls. Sleep outcomes were objectively assessed using accelerometry. The eating window (time between first and last caloric intake), caloric midpoint (local time at which ≥ 50% of daily calories are consumed), eating jetlag (variability of the eating midpoint between non-working and working days), time from the midsleep point to first food intake, and time from last food intake to midsleep point were calculated. Body composition was determined by DXA. Blood pressure and fasting cardiometabolic risk factors (i.e., triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and insulin resistance) were measured. Results Meal timing was not associated with body composition (p > 0.05). The eating window was negatively related to HOMA-IR and cardiometabolic risk score in men (R2 = 0.348, β = − 0.605; R2 = 0.234, β = − 0.508; all p ≤ 0.003). The time from midsleep point to first food intake was positively related to HOMA-IR and cardiometabolic risk score in men (R2 = 0.212, β = 0.485; R2 = 0.228, β = 0.502; all p = 0.003). These associations remained after adjusting for confounders and multiplicity (all p ≤ 0.011). Conclusions Meal timing seems unrelated to body composition in young adults. However, a longer daily eating window and a shorter time from midsleep point to first food intake (i.e., earlier first food intake in a 24 h cycle) are associated with better cardiometabolic health in young men.

Analysis of pelletizing of granulometric separation powder from cork industries

Las industrias del corcho generan una cantidad considerable de residuos sólidos durante su procesamiento. Su gestión implica un problema para las empresas que deben reconsiderar su reutilización para otros fines. En este trabajo se estudia el proceso de granulación de polvo de separación granulométrico, que es uno de los principales residuos de la industria del corcho y que presenta propiedades adecuadas (como materia prima) para su uso térmico. Sin embargo, su heterogeneidad característica, junto con su baja densidad aparente (lo que dificulta su almacenamiento y transporte) son factores restrictivos para su uso energético. Por lo tanto, su forma densificada es una alternativa real para hacer el producto uniforme y garantizar su uso adecuado en los sistemas de calderas. Por lo tanto, los gránulos de corcho (a partir de polvo de separación granulométrica) del estudio cumplieron, excepto las especificaciones de contenido de ceniza, las especificaciones de la norma europea estándar EN-Plus (B) para su aplicación como combustible para uso doméstico.Cork industries generate a considerable amount of solid waste during their processing. Its management implies a problem for companies that should reconsider its reuse for other purposes. In this work, an analysis of pelletizing of granulometric separation powder, which is one of the major wastes in cork industries and which presents suitable properties (as an raw material) for its thermal use, is studied. However, its characteristic heterogeneity, along with its low bulk density (which makes its storage and transportation difficult) are restrictive factors for its energy use. Therefore, its densified form is a real alternative in order to make the product uniform and guarantee its proper use in boiler systems. Thus, the cork pellets (from granulometric separation powder) in the study met, except for ash content specification, the specifications in standard European Norm EN-Plus (B) for its application as fuel for domestic use.• Gobierno de Extremadura, proyectos para la cooperación en sectores estratégicos entre grupos de investigación y empresas : PCJ100502 y PCJ100603 • Gobierno de Extremadura, apoyo a grupos de investigación : GR10151peerReviewe

Control of several emissions during olive pomace thermal degradation

La biomasa juega un papel importante como fuente de energía, siendo una alternativa interesante a los combustibles fósiles debido a sus características respetuosas con el medio ambiente y sostenibles. Sin embargo, debido a la exposición de los clientes a las emisiones durante el calentamiento de biomasa, los contaminantes evolucionados deben ser tenidos en cuenta y controlados. Cambiar las materias primas o mezclarlas con otra biomasa menos contaminante podría ser un paso adecuado para reducir la contaminación. En este trabajo se estudió el comportamiento térmico del orujo de oliva, roble pirenaico y sus mezclas en combustión mediante análisis termogravimétrico. Fue posible monitorear las emisiones liberadas durante el proceso mediante el análisis de espectrometría de masas. Los experimentos se llevaron a cabo en condiciones no isotérmicas en el intervalo de temperatura de 25-750 ° C y una velocidad de calentamiento de 20 ° C · min-1. Se analizaron las siguientes especies: compuestos aromáticos (benceno y tolueno), emisiones de azufre (dióxido de azufre), 1,4-dioxina, ácido clorhídrico, dióxido de carbono y óxidos de nitrógeno. Los resultados indicaron que los contaminantes se desarrollaron principalmente en dos etapas diferentes, que están relacionadas con las etapas de degradación térmica. Así, dependiendo de la composición del contaminante y de la materia prima, se observaron diferentes perfiles de emisión. Además, la intensidad de los perfiles de emisión se relacionó, en algunos casos, con la composición del precursor.Biomass plays an important role as an energy source, being an interesting alternative to fossil fuels due to its environment-friendly and sustainable characteristics. However, due to the exposure of customers to emissions during biomass heating, evolved pollutants should be taken into account and controlled. Changing raw materials or mixing them with another less pollutant biomass could be a suitable step to reduce pollution. This work studied the thermal behaviour of olive pomace, pyrenean oak and their blends under combustion using thermogravimetric analysis. It was possible to monitor the emissions released during the process by coupling mass spectrometry analysis. The experiments were carried out under non-isothermal conditions at the temperature range 25–750 °C and a heating rate of 20 °C·min−1. The following species were analysed: aromatic compounds (benzene and toluene), sulphur emissions (sulphur dioxide), 1,4-dioxin, hydrochloric acid, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The results indicated that pollutants were mainly evolved in two different stages, which are related to the thermal degradation steps. Thus, depending on the pollutant and raw material composition, different emission profiles were observed. Furthermore, intensity of the emission profiles was related, in some cases, to the composition of the precursor.• Gobierno de Extremadura, proyectos para la cooperación en sectores estratégicos entre grupos de investigación y empresas : PCJ100502 y PCJ100603 • Gobierno de Extremadura, apoyo a grupos de investigación : GR10151peerReviewe

Acute Effects of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation on Energy Expenditure at Resting and during Uphill Walking in Healthy Young Men

The effects of the different electrical frequencies of whole-body electrical stimulation (WB-EMS) on energy expenditure (EE) and the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the effects of different WB-EMS electrical frequencies on EE and the RER during supine resting and uphill walking. A total of 10 healthy and recreationally active men (21.6 +/- 3.3 years old) participated in the present study. Participants completed two testing sessions in a randomized order. In each session, a variety of impulse frequencies (1 hertz (Hz), 2 Hz, 4 Hz, 6 Hz, 8 Hz, and 10 Hz) were applied in a randomized order, allowing a 10 min passive recovery between them. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were measured to calculate EE and the RER. All frequencies increased EE at rest (all p = 0.923). During uphill walking, the frequency that elicited the highest increase in EE was 6 Hz (Delta = 4.87 +/- 0.84 kcal/min) compared to the unstimulated condition. None of the impulse frequencies altered the RER during uphill walking. WB-EMS increases EE in healthy young men both during resting and uphill walking.WiemsPro S.L.University of GranadaUnit of Excellence on Exercise and Health (UCEES)Plan Propio de Investigacion 2016, Excellence actions: Units of Excellenc
