CONCHA MÉNDEZ, THE SEDUCTION OF A WRITER IN LITERARY MODERNISM

Pretendemos reivindicar la figura de Concha Méndez, ocultada por una cultura fundamentalmente machista e incidir en la participación de la mujer dentro del estallido estético de la vanguardia y en la difusión de la cultura española durante los años de la República. Poeta, dramaturga, impresora… Su actividad como escritora de vanguardia, su cultivo del deporte, su afición por la música y sus trabajos como impresora la convierten en una de las mujeres más relevantes de nuestra Edad de Plata. Estudiaremos su producción poética más significativa e intentaremos aproximarnos al papel de una mujer que se relacionó con importantes personalidades de la cultura española de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Concha Méndez fue una mujer clave en la emancipación de las escritoras de los años veinte y treinta, una mujer que no se sujetó a los arquetipos sociales que se le imponían y que utilizó la seducción de la escritura para conseguir sus objetivos.We aim to vindicate Concha Méndez, a figure that was hidden by a culture which was primarily sexist, and also to enhance the female participation in the Avant-garde aesthetic boom and the dissemination of the Spanish culture during the Republican period. She was a poet, playwright, printer… Her activity as an Avant-garde writer, the fact that she did sport, her love of music and her works as a printer make her one of the most relevant women in the Spanish Silve Age. We’ll analyze her most significant poetic works and we will try to approach to the role of a woman who had contact with Spanish culture important figures in the first half of the 20th century. Concha Méndez was a key figure for women writers emancipation in the 20s and 30s; she was a woman who did not hold herself to the social archetypes imposed on her, and who used her writing seductiveness to achieve her goals

Cuidado que el medicamento no se te salga por la nariz

La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) es una patología caracterizada por una reducción persistente del flujo de aire. Esta enfermedad pulmonar es progresiva y potencialmente mortal. Suele causar disnea y las exacerbaciones y comorbilidades asociadas hacen que el pronóstico sea peor.Se presenta un caso de seguimiento farmacoterapéutico realizado siguiendo la metodología del Foro de Atención Farmacéutica en Farmacia Comunitaria en el Aula de Práctica Farmacéutica “Paco Martínez” de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera a un paciente real con EPOC y polimedicado, utilizando como método el “aprendizaje basado en problemas”. Como apoyo para la evaluación de la situación se realiza un análisis de las diferentes teorías publicadas sobre la ineficacia del tratamiento. Además, se expone el nuevo enfoque que se le quiere dar al tratamiento de los pacientes con EPOC, valorando la heterogeneidad de la enfermedad y la variabilidad clínica de cada paciente mediante la revisión bibliográfica en bases de datos científicas Pubmed/Medline y Google Académico, junto con la búsqueda de información en las diferentes páginas web de organismos oficiales, Organización Mundial de la Salud y Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios

Experimental and computational study of conductivity of multilayer graphene in polypropylene nanocomposites

[EN] We study the electric conductivity of compounds formed by multilayer graphene in polypropylene. Our study makes a comparative analysis between the experimental and computational results. To obtain an experimental measurement of the electronic properties, we deposited multilayer graphene (MLG) nanoparticles over a polypropylene matrix. The deposition was made over several stages, in which we added to the polymer matrix different percentages of MLG nanoparticles using the melt compounding technique, and we studied the conductivities of the nanocomposites by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The second part consists of computational calculations, in which we studied the electronic properties of a graphene sheet under a polypropylene molecule with different slabs in the monomer. In both analyses, there is a strong percolation phenomenon with a percolation threshold of around 18% of the MLG nanoparticles. Before the percolation threshold, the charge carriers are constrained in the polypropylene molecule, making the system an insulating material and creating p-type doping. After the percolation threshold, the charge carriers are constrained in the graphene, making the system a conductor material and creating n-type doping with conductivity values of around 20 S m(-1). This phenomenon is a consequence of a change in the mechanism of charge transfer in the interface between the polypropylene molecule and graphene sheet. To describe the charge transfer mechanism, it is necessary to consider the quantum effect. The incorporation of the quantum effects and the percolation phenomenon make it possible for the theoretical conductivity to be close to the conductivity measured experimentally.This research has been supported by the ENE/2015-69203-R project, granted by the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO), Spain.

Energetics and the magnetic state of Mn2 adsorbed on Au(111): Dimer bond distance dependence

"In this work we present a theoretical study of the adsorption Mn2 dimer on the Au(111) surface. Here we use the density functional theory to construct a map of adsorption energies, EA, of Mn2 on a Au(111) surface as a function of interatomic bond distance, , among Mn atoms. We employed a 4×4 supercell of Au(111) surface which lead us to reach values in the range from 2.6 to 6.8 Å. To make a full study of the adsorption energies we considered the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) states of the Mn2 on the surface. The energy landscape contains local minima when the Mn atoms are adsorbed above triangular sites and barriers that the Mn adatoms have to overcome when they move across the Au(111) surface along various paths. Our results show that the lowest energy state corresponds to the state in which the Mn atoms are next-nearest neighbors and are antiferromagnetically coupled. Furthermore, all the local minima with higher bonding energy are also those in the antiferromagnetic state. Nevertheless we find a short interval in which the FM state has lower energy than the AFM one. Finally, scanning tunneling microscope simulations for various dimer configurations on surface are reported.

Territorialización, pobreza y emergencia de múltiples territorialidades en el periurbano de Morelia, México

La pobreza, desde una perspectiva geográfica considera el proceso de apropiación del espacio a partir de la construcción de múltiples territorios por parte de la población pobre. Así, las unidades espaciales y temporales evidencian la heterogeneidad de los espacios rurales, urbanos o periurbanos y se constituirán por territorialidades específicas, diferenciándose entre ellos y al interior de estos. Se analizan los procesos de territorialización en contextos de empobrecimiento y la emergencia de múltiples territorialidades durante nueve décadas en el territorio periurbano de Morelia, Mexico. Se integro información de archivos, censal y entrevistas a profundidad. Se identificaron tres procesos histórico-espaciales: i) El origen y consolidación de un territorio campesino pobre; ii) La industrialización y construcción de un canal de riego como paliativos temporales a la pobreza campesina; y iii) El crecimiento de una ciudad intermedia, la fragmentación de un ejido y la continuidad de la pobreza en el occidente de Mexico. Con estos procesos se visibiliza la dinámica histórico-espacial y la constancia de la pobreza, donde los diversos actores sociales construyen su espacio a partir de sus necesidades, el trabajo, los procesos políticos y socioeconómicos.Poverty, from a geographical perspective, considers the process of appropriation of space from the construction of multiple territories by the poor population. Thus, the spatial and temporal units show the heterogeneity of rural, urban or peri-urban spaces and will be constituted by specific territorialities, differentiating between them and within them. Territorialization processes are analyzed in contexts of impoverishment and the emergence of multiple territorialities during nine decades in the peri-urban territory of Morelia, Mexico. Information from archives, census and in-depth interviews was integrated. Three historical-spatial processes were identified: i) The origin and consolidation of a poor peasant territory; ii) The industrialization and construction of an irrigation canal as temporary palliative to peasant poverty; and iii) The growth of an intermediate city, the fragmentation of an ejido and the continuity of poverty in western Mexico. With these processes, the historical-spatial dynamics and the constancy of poverty are made visible, where the various social actors build their space based on their needs, work, political and socioeconomic processes.Esta investigación recibió fondos del proyecto PAPIIT-DGAPA-UNAM (Clave: IG300319) titulado: “Nuevas geografías de la urbanización en México: Transformaciones territoriales y medios de vida de sectores vulnerables en las periferias de ciudades medias”

Rigid heddles in Roman times. New evidence from Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Spain)

Los telares constituyen uno de los principales instrumentos para la producción textil en la Antigüedad. No obstante, su localización en el registro arqueológico es escasa y limitada. Los telares verticales de pesas son la tipología más conocida, pero no la única. Excepcionalmente, se encuentran en el registro arqueológico evidencias materiales de telares de bandas para el desarrollo de estrechas cenefas que, por lo general, presentan ricas decoraciones. Una de las principales problemáticas ha sido la identificación de estas piezas, la definición de su funcionalidad textil y la confusión existente entre los distintos tipos de telares de bandas. En consecuencia, no solo son difíciles de encontrar arqueológicamente, sino que a menudo no han sido reconocidas como instrumental textil. En este trabajo, aportamos un acercamiento a la tecnología de los telares de bandas en Hispania a partir de un nuevo hallazgo: un telar de rejilla o lizo de marco procedente de un contexto funerario recientemente intervenido en Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Badajoz). Además del análisis de la pieza, planteamos un estudio contextual que permita hacer apreciaciones cronológicas. A ello se le une el estudio antropológico del difunto varón. Esto nos ayuda a plantear y discutir interesantes apreciaciones de género respecto a la configuración social del artesanado textil. Del mismo modo, recogemos un estado actual de la cuestión sobre la tecnología del telar de lizo de marco gracias a una revisión de todas las evidencias encontradas hasta la fecha a lo largo del Imperio. Con este artículo, esperamos ahondar en este tipo de tecnologías textiles, visibilizarlas y dar a conocer su materialización en el registro arqueológico.Looms constitute one of the main instruments for textile production in Antiquity. However, their localization in the archaeological record is scarce and limited. The vertical loom with pondera is the best-known typology, but not the only one. Exceptionally, we can encounter material vestiges in the archaeological record of band weaving looms. Those looms were used for the confection of narrow repp bands that were generally, generously decorated. One of the main issues has been the identification of these pieces; the definition of their textile functionality and the existent confusion between the different types of band weaving looms. Consequently, not only are they difficult to find archaeologically, but frequently not recognized as a textile tool. In this paper we present an approach to the technology of band-weaving looms in Hispania through a new discovery: a rigid heddle or rigid heddle loom from a recent contextualized funerary context from Augusta Emerita (Mérida). Besides the analysis of the archaeological piece, we have also proposed a study of its context, hence the possibility of a chronological assessment. An anthropological study of the male deceased has been included. Thanks to the anthropological assessment, it has been possible to discuss interesting ideas regarding gender and the social organisation of textile artisans. Similarly, we have collected the state of art regarding the technology of rigid heddle-weaving thanks to a revision of the current archaeological vestiges along the Roman Empire. With this article, we hope to offer a deep look into this type of textile technology and showcase its materialization in the archaeological record.Este trabajo forma parte de los resultados del proyecto, TEXLUS.
