Erotismo y Celo Inquisitorial. Expedientes de escritos obscenos censurados por la Inquisición en el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX

Dentro del amplio objeto de la censura inquisitorial, este trabajo está enmarcado en la literatura puramente recreativa de la época precontemporánea, estudia la actividad censoria del Santo Oficio a los escritos de tema galante, erótico y "pornográfico", y se concreta en algunos expedientes abiertos a obras muy diversas que fueron denunciadas, calificadas y prohibidas por obscenas, lascivas, escandalosas, indecentes e inductivas ad libidinem, y comprendidas en la regla séptima del índice expurgatorio.Inside of the extensive subject of inquisitorial censorship, this work addresses the literature purely recreational of the pre-contemporaneous era, studies the Santo Oficio activity of censorship for the writings of gallant, erotic and "pornographic" themes, and particularly some files opened to works very diverse which were denounced, qualified and prohibited as they were considered obscene, lascivious, scandalous, indecent and inductive ad libidinem, and included in the seventh rule of the expurgatory Index

Flujo genético y especiación en crustáceos decápodos de agua dulce (Atyaephyra desmarestii complex) y marina (Pagurus forbesii complex) de aguas europeas y africanas

La amplia distribución de Atyaephyra desmarestii s.l. y la naturaleza disjunta de sus poblaciones hace que se trate de un complejo de especies crípticas. El estudio de los genes mitocondriales 16S y COI apoyan la existencia de tres clados de haplotipos. Uno con la mayoría de las poblaciones de Europa y norte de África (A. desmarestii desmarestii); otro con las poblaciones griegas, que tentativamente deben ser asociadas con A. stankoi, y un tercero de Irak, que podría corresponderse con A. mesopotamica o A. orientalis. De los datos moleculares también se deduce que A. rosiana de Portugal es sinónimo de A. desmarestii. En un segundo estudio, centrado en Grecia se han identificado morfológica y molecularmente cuatro especies (A. stankoi, A. thyamisensis, A. strymonensis y A. desmarestii). A. acheronensis de Christodoulou et al. (2012) debe considerarse sinonimia de A. desmarestii. Se aportan datos morfológicos para todas las especies. Asimismo, se compara el patrón de distribución de los cromatóforos de las larvas Zoea II de A. thyamisensis y A. desmarestii, mostrando que es un carácter útil para diferenciar especies crípticas (adultos). La distribución de las especies griegas muestra 3 áreas, que están relacionadas con la paleogeografía de los Balcanes. La captura de ejemplares de Dugastella marocana en Marrakech amplía su área de distribución. La existencia de larvas Zoea II en su cámara incubadora demuestra un cuidado parental extendido, muy raro, que puede considerarse como característico del género. Por otro lado, el estudio morfológico de un gran número de ejemplares de Pagurus forbesii complex, del mar de Alborán, ha permitido: (1) ratificar que Pagurus sculptimanus es sinónimo de P. forbesii; (2) definir caracteres morfológico útiles en taxonomía y (3) la creación de una nueva especie "P. pseudosculptimanus". Los datos moleculares ratifican la separación de ambas especies y muestran que las agrupaciones establecidas para el género Pagurus deben ser revisadas. Finalmente se aporta una revisión de las especies del género Pagurus del Atlántico Oriental y Mediterráneo

Sampling-related frames in finite U-invariant subspaces

Recently, a sampling theory for infinite dimensional U-invariant subspaces of a separable Hilbert space H where U denotes a unitary operator on H has been obtained. Thus, uniform average sampling for shift-invariant subspaces of L-2(R) becomes a particular example. As in the general case it is possible to have finite dimensional U-invariant subspaces, the main aim of this paper is to derive a sampling theory for finite dimensional U-invariant subspaces of a separable Hilbert space H. Since the used samples are frame coefficients in a suitable euclidean space C-N, the problem reduces to obtain dual frames with a U-invariance property

Does student proactivity guarantee positive academic results?

This paper analyzes the impact of students’ proactivity on academic performance based on a sample from students enrolled in an introductory course of Political Economy at the University of Seville (Spain) in three consecutive courses (2014–2015, 2015–2016 and 2016–2017). Proactivity is measured by several indicators, such as class attendance, case-study oral presentation and its delivery in a foreign language, all of them being non-mandatory activities for students who have participated in the experiment. Specifically, this study aims to assess the impact of a student’s proactivity on two academic outcomes: (i) to pass or fail the exam; and (ii) the score obtained. Impact assessment has been performed using a probit and ordered multinomial logit models. The results show that a student’s proactivity measured by class attendance and case-study presentation significantly increases the probability of passing the exam, while the impact of using a foreign language seems to be non-significant. In relation to the score obtained, the proactivity measured through the case presentation raises the probability of obtaining a higher mark more than regular class attendance.Junta de Andalucía proyecto SEJ-132Universidad Autónoma de ChileUniversidad de Sevilla.

MIRACLE-FI at ImageCLEFphoto 2008: Experiences in merging text-based and content-based retrievals

This paper describes the participation of the MIRACLE consortium at the ImageCLEF Photographic Retrieval task of ImageCLEF 2008. In this is new participation of the group, our first purpose is to evaluate our own tools for text-based retrieval and for content-based retrieval using different similarity metrics and the aggregation OWA operator to fuse the three topic images. From the MIRACLE last year experience, we implemented a new merging module combining the text-based and the content-based information in three different ways: FILTER-N, ENRICH and TEXT-FILTER. The former approaches try to improve the text-based baseline results using the content-based results lists. The last one was used to select the relevant images to the content-based module. No clustering strategies were analyzed. Finally, 41 runs were submitted: 1 for the text-based baseline, 10 content-based runs, and 30 mixed experiments merging text and content-based results. Results in general can be considered nearly acceptable comparing with the best results of other groups. Obtained results from textbased retrieval are better than content-based. Merging both textual and visual retrieval we improve the text-based baseline when applying the ENRICH merging algorithm although visual results are lower than textual ones. From these results we were going to try to improve merged results by clustering methods applied to this image collection

A Highly Available Cluster of Web Servers with Increased Storage Capacity

Ponencias de las Decimoséptimas Jornadas de Paralelismo de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha celebradas el 18,19 y 20 de septiembre de 2006 en AlbaceteWeb servers scalability has been traditionally solved by improving software elements or increasing hardware resources of the server machine. Another approach has been the usage of distributed architectures. In such architectures, usually, file al- location strategy has been either full replication or full distribution. In previous works we have showed that partial replication offers a good balance between storage capacity and reliability. It offers much higher storage capacity while reliability may be kept at an equivalent level of that from fully replicated solutions. In this paper we present the architectural details of Web cluster solutions adapted to partial replication. We also show that partial replication does not imply a penalty in performance over classical fully replicated architectures. For evaluation purposes we have used a simulation model under the OMNeT++ framework and we use mean service time as a performance comparison metric.Publicad

The Sustainable Management of Metals: An Analysis of Global Research

The objective of this study was to analyze research trends in the field of sustainable management of metals on a global level between 1993 and 2017. To do so, a bibliometric analysis was carried out on a total of 6967 articles. The results revealed the growing interest in this research field, particularly over the last five year-period during which 63% of all articles were published. The three journals in which most articles had been published were the Journal of Cleaner Production, ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, and Chemsuschem. The countries that published the most articles were China, the United States, India, Germany, and the United Kingdom. A sizeable network of collaboration has been established between countries for the joint publication of studies. The main lines of research have been focused on metal decontamination in water and soil, waste management oriented towards reuse and recycling, and the innovation of processes for cleaner and more efficient production. The results revealed the need for comprehensive studies that integrate different disciplines within the same analytical framework, and to promote research that contributes to the different dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social)

Rheological study and sensory analysis about four commercial detergents called “gel-detergents”

Gel detergents possess some advantages compared to podwer detergents, such as easyness to transport, high eficiency considering number of washes per bottle and the reasonable use of water and package. In order to check if a specific product shows gel behaviour, rheological studies are carried out; namely, Small Amplitude Oscillatory Shear tests. With this in mind, we report the influence of temperature (5 – 40) ºC on the mechanical spectra of four commercial detergents whose labels claim they are gels. The experimental results obtained supported that two out of four samples exhibited the expected weak gel viscoelastic properties. The remaining two detergents showed typical viscoelastic behaviour of viscous solutions (liquid-like response instead of gel-like), whose structure is not significant. We also conducted stepwise flow curves in the same temperature range. Most detergents studied showed shear thinning properties, which fitted the power law equation. The results obtained supported that the more shear thinning was the detergent sample, the more marked gel-like properties were observed. Finally, a sensory analysis was carried out in order to know the perception of the gel character for 30 panelists.Los detergentes gel poseen ciertas ventajas frente a los detergentes en polvo que los hacen muy interesantes, como facilidad en el transporte, alta eficiencia considerando el número de lavados por botella y el uso razonado de agua y embalaje. Para comprobar si un determinado producto tiene comportamiento gel, se realizan estudios reológicos; concretamente, ensayos en cizalla oscilatoria. Con este fin, en este estudio, se muestra la influencia de la temperatura (5 a 40 ºC) en el espectro mecánico de cuatro productos comerciales en cuyas etiquetas aparece la información de que son geles. Los resultados experimentales obtenidos demuestran que solo dos de las cuatro muestras exhiben las propiedades reológicas esperadas. Los dos detergentes restantes muestran propiedades de disoluciones viscosidad (respuesta líquida en vez de respuesta gel), cuya estructura no es significativa. También se llevaron a cabo curvas de flujo en el mismo rango de temperaturas. La mayoría de los detergentes mostraron comportamiento pseudoplástico, el cual se ajustó a la ley de la potencia. Los resultados obtenidos revelaron que el detergente con mayor grado de pseudoplasticidad fue el que mostro mayor carácter gel. Por último, se realizó un análisis sensorial para conocer la percepción de 30 panelistas del carácter gel de estos detergentes.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad del Gobierno de España y por la Comisión Europea (Programa FEDER
