Identidad, género, cuerpo y camino del héroe en la literatura argentina (siglos XX y XXI). Escrituras y reescrituras en diálogo con los antecedentes míticos de las tradiciones grecolatina y cristiana

We observe that contemporary Argentine literary works should not only be read regarding their moment of production and the transtextual relations they present with their local antecessors, but also in dialogue with ancient traditions (Greek-Roman and Christian) from which they still feed, not as mere present transpositions of former versions, but as original and meaningful writings, insert in a different aesthetical and ideological context. Furthermore, we analyze the presence/absence of other ancient traditions that are also part of Argentine culture since its origins, such as aboriginal ones. We determine that the heroic figure is a high potential core of textual analysis for this project because the hero carries the highest values of their culture, and also moves along a challenging and transforming path, since they are witnesses and also protagonists of a transcendent change for themselves and their community. We focus on the study of such matters in narrative and dramatic pieces of the 20th century, preferably non-canonical ones, in order to broaden the academic corpus, and 21st century works, that compel to rethink literary theories and culture as a whole. Initial corpus: Eisejuaz (1971), by Sara Gallardo; Novels (2009-2014), by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara; La Frontera (1960), by David Cureses; Los que comimos a Solís (1965), by María Esther de Miguel; Antígona Vélez (1951), by Leopoldo Marechal, and Antígona Furiosa (1986), by Griselda Gambaro; Plop (2002), by Rafael Pinedo; La casa sin sosiego (1991), by Griselda Gambaro. Many aspects of traditional heroic models continue but also collapse in various ways in each piece of writing we study, all conditioned by the contexts of production, the historical processes that they go through and their own aesthetical resources.Planteamos la necesidad de realizar lecturas de obras literarias argentinas contemporáneas no solo atendiendo a los contextos de su génesis y a las relaciones intertextuales que presentan con sus antecedentes locales, sino también al diálogo con las tradiciones más ancestrales (la grecoromana y la cristiana) de las que se siguen alimentando, no como meras transposiciones actuales de versiones anteriores, sino como escrituras originales y resemantizadas, insertas en otro marco estético e ideológico.Asimismo, reflexionamos acerca de la presencia/ausencia de otras tradiciones ancestrales que también conforman la cultura argentina desde sus orígenes, como las indígenas. Determinamos que la figura heroica es un núcleo de análisis textual de gran potencialidad para nuestro proyecto, porque el héroe porta consigo los valores más elevados de su cultura, pero también recorre un camino desafiante y se transforma, puesto que es testigo y protagonista de un cambio trascendental para sí mismo y para su comunidad. Nos centramos en el estudio de estas cuestiones en obras narrativas y dramáticas del siglo XX, preferentemente no canónicas, con el objeto de ampliar el corpus de interés académico, y obras del siglo XXI, que obligan a repensar la Teoría Literaria y la cultura en su conjunto. Corpus inicial: La novela Eisejuaz (1971), de Sara Gallardo; la novelística (2009-2014), de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara; la pieza dramática La Frontera (1960), de David Cureses; el cuento Los que comimos a Solís (1965), de María Esther de Miguel; las piezas teatrales Antígona Vélez (1951), de Leopoldo Marechal, y Antígona Furiosa (1986), de Griselda Gambaro; la novela Plop (2002), de Rafael Pinedo; la pieza teatral La casa sin sosiego (1991), de Griselda Gambaro. Se evidencian continuidades y rupturas de los modelos heroicos tradicionales de características muy diversas en cada obra estudiada, condicionadas por los contextos de producción, los procesos históricos que las atraviesan y los recursos estéticos propios

Identidad, género, cuerpo y camino del héroe en la literatura argentina (siglos XX y XXI). Escrituras y reescrituras en diálogo con los antecedentes míticos de las tradiciones grecolatina y cristiana

Within the corpus of Argentine literature studied in this project, the figure of the hero has been approached by authors in the 20th century very differently from those who are writing in the 21st century. In the earliest literary works analyzed, the rewriting of classical or native creation myths is coherent with a revision of historiography and recent collective memory. In the second group of works, we found a clear rupture with tradition that goes beyond parody, since it directly problematizes the existence of the tradition itself and the possibility of a collective memory. Therefore, these authors delve further than National History matters to more universal and philosophical ones. Nevertheless, the paradox arises when, in search of these ruptures, these literary works use tradition and memory to be able to elaborate such problems and, thus, they indirectly confirm the existence of both. In this paradox we observed a deviation in the reading of myths in terms of their interpretation: we moved from analytic hermeneutics to postmodern hermeneutics, which find their own rupture limit with regards to tradition, memory and language in the conditions of their own existence.Dentro del corpus de literatura argentina aquí estudiado, la figura del héroe ha sido recreada por los autores del siglo XX de manera muy diferente de cómo lo hacen quienes están escribiendo en el siglo XXI. En las primeras obras, se hace evidente una marcada tendencia a la reescritura de mitos clásicos o mitos originarios en la búsqueda de una revisión del pasado histórico y de la memoria colectiva reciente. En las segundas, se hace manifiesta una ruptura con la tradición que excede la parodia, puesto que directamente se problematiza en ellas la existencia misma de dicha tradición y la posibilidad de una memoria colectiva. Se trata de ahondar en cuestiones más universales y filosóficas, que van más allá de la historia nacional. No obstante, la paradoja surge cuando en esa búsqueda estas obras se valen tanto de la tradición como de la memoria para poder enunciar los problemas que plantean y, por lo tanto, afirman de manera indirecta la existencia de ambas. En esta paradoja, observamos un desplazamiento de la lectura del mito en términos interpretativos: pasamos de una hermenéutica analítica a una hermenéutica posmoderna, que llega a encontrar el propio límite de sus posibilidades de ruptura respecto de la tradición, la memoria y el lenguaje en las condiciones mismas de su existencia

Courting the South: Lula’s Trade Diplomacy

Scholarly consensus regarding Brazil's Lula government characterizes its economic policy as surprisingly conservative but its foreign policy as roughly in line with the traditionally leftist principles of the Workers' Party. While broadly accurate, this perspective tells us little about trade diplomacy, which cuts across these two policy areas. In this article we explain why Lula's trade diplomacy has hewed much more closely to his broader foreign policy strategy than his economic model, despite the critical role of trade in Brazil's recent economic growth. We argue that two key factors have lowered the costs of adopting a combative, South-South orientation, allowing Lula to use trade diplomacy as a tool for appealing to party loyalists. One is the inherently muted short-term impact of trade diplomacy on key macro-economic outcomes. The other is the failure of the traditional trading powers to offer the incentives necessary to successfully conclude the major North-South trade talks they had initiated

Global and national Burden of diseases and injuries among children and adolescents between 1990 and 2013

Importance The literature focuses on mortality among children younger than 5 years. Comparable information on nonfatal health outcomes among these children and the fatal and nonfatal burden of diseases and injuries among older children and adolescents is scarce. Objective To determine levels and trends in the fatal and nonfatal burden of diseases and injuries among younger children (aged <5 years), older children (aged 5-9 years), and adolescents (aged 10-19 years) between 1990 and 2013 in 188 countries from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2013 study. Evidence Review Data from vital registration, verbal autopsy studies, maternal and child death surveillance, and other sources covering 14 244 site-years (ie, years of cause of death data by geography) from 1980 through 2013 were used to estimate cause-specific mortality. Data from 35 620 epidemiological sources were used to estimate the prevalence of the diseases and sequelae in the GBD 2013 study. Cause-specific mortality for most causes was estimated using the Cause of Death Ensemble Model strategy. For some infectious diseases (eg, HIV infection/AIDS, measles, hepatitis B) where the disease process is complex or the cause of death data were insufficient or unavailable, we used natural history models. For most nonfatal health outcomes, DisMod-MR 2.0, a Bayesian metaregression tool, was used to meta-analyze the epidemiological data to generate prevalence estimates. Findings Of the 7.7 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 7.4-8.1) million deaths among children and adolescents globally in 2013, 6.28 million occurred among younger children, 0.48 million among older children, and 0.97 million among adolescents. In 2013, the leading causes of death were lower respiratory tract infections among younger children (905 059 deaths; 95% UI, 810 304-998 125), diarrheal diseases among older children (38 325 deaths; 95% UI, 30 365-47 678), and road injuries among adolescents (115 186 deaths; 95% UI, 105 185-124 870). Iron deficiency anemia was the leading cause of years lived with disability among children and adolescents, affecting 619 (95% UI, 618-621) million in 2013. Large between-country variations exist in mortality from leading causes among children and adolescents. Countries with rapid declines in all-cause mortality between 1990 and 2013 also experienced large declines in most leading causes of death, whereas countries with the slowest declines had stagnant or increasing trends in the leading causes of death. In 2013, Nigeria had a 12% global share of deaths from lower respiratory tract infections and a 38% global share of deaths from malaria. India had 33% of the world’s deaths from neonatal encephalopathy. Half of the world’s diarrheal deaths among children and adolescents occurred in just 5 countries: India, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. Conclusions and Relevance Understanding the levels and trends of the leading causes of death and disability among children and adolescents is critical to guide investment and inform policies. Monitoring these trends over time is also key to understanding where interventions are having an impact. Proven interventions exist to prevent or treat the leading causes of unnecessary death and disability among children and adolescents. The findings presented here show that these are underused and give guidance to policy makers in countries where more attention is needed

Optimasi Portofolio Resiko Menggunakan Model Markowitz MVO Dikaitkan dengan Keterbatasan Manusia dalam Memprediksi Masa Depan dalam Perspektif Al-Qur`an

Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass
