Higher Order Approximation to the Hill Problem Dynamics about the Libration Points

An analytical solution to the Hill problem Hamiltonian expanded about the libration points has been obtained by means of perturbation techniques. In order to compute the higher orders of the perturbation solution that are needed to capture all the relevant periodic orbits originated from the libration points within a reasonable accuracy, the normalization is approached in complex variables. The validity of the solution extends to energy values considerably far away from that of the libration points and, therefore, can be used in the computation of Halo orbits as an alternative to the classical Lindstedt-Poincar\'e approach. Furthermore, the theory correctly predicts the existence of the two-lane bridge of periodic orbits linking the families of planar and vertical Lyapunov orbits.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figure

Richard Cobden’s Liberal Mission and the Quest for Universal Peace

Richard Cobden (1804-1865) is probably best known nowadays as the political agitator behind the introduction of free trade in England. Together with John Bright, he led the anti-Corn Law League, a mass political movement that resulted in the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. He was an uncommon type among the British politicians of the time: a merchant and experienced traveller who fostered his career in politics thanks to his remarkable popularity among middle and lower classes. While the literature has mostly examined his ideas on free trade as developed in public and parliamentary speeches, and to a lesser extent in a number of political pamphlets, in this paper I adopt a different stance by focusing on his travel diaries. One of my aims is to assess the relevance of some of his unpublished manuscripts, namely the travel notes he took during his so-called Eastern Tour. Between October 1836 and April 1837 Cobden visited places like Lisbon, Gibraltar, Malta, Constantinople, and Alexandria, before returning home via Greece, and met politicians and intellectuals, collected information on trade and politics, and generally reflected on the state of the countries he visited. More particularly, my aim is to study how the ideas of trade, peace, and civilisation are waved together. Whether he argued a link between the capacity for the development of wealth and commerce in society, a tendency towards a peaceful resolution of conflicts, and the general state of foreign societies as compared to England. This way I hope to examine how Cobden’s entanglements with other cultural and intellectual traditions abroad shaped his economic and political liberal ideas. Although Cobden’s tours have attracted attention in terms of their impact on the development of free-trade policies in the countries he visited, I focus instead on how Cobden’s cosmopolitan experiences led him to elaborate on wider issues on social and economic development and political liberalism.Universidad de Málaga.

John Stuart Mill’s Idea of History: A Rhetoric of Progress

This paper examines the crucial role the idea of history plays in John Stuart Mill’s social and political thought. Insofar as Mill argues that histori-cal change and progress are synonyms, the latter deserves a careful attention. However, academic literature has mostly regarded Mill’s philosophy of histo-ry a topic of minor importance. Some of his philosophical views on history, it will be argued, clearly affect his political views, but they also inform his sci-entific study of society. Accordingly, historical research aims both at under-standing the past to guide society’s future. By analysing the different sources from which Mill draws inspiration, the paper considers his views against the background of his personal and intellectual context. Mill’s temporary depres-sion, along with Macaulay’s criticism of the utilitarian ahistorical conception of politics, triggers an enquiry into the appropriate method to study society, which eventually places history at its core. His reading of Coleridge and a number of French thinkers reflects a renewed interest in the discipline. The article discusses, first, Mill’s interpretation of Coleridge as Bentham’s op-posite pole. Later in the article, I highlight Mill’s debts to Comte and Saint-Simon, especially as regards what he calls the “Inverse Deductive Method”. Some remarks on French historiographers, like Mignet, Dulaure, Sismondi, Michelet and Guizot, also support my argument

Plauto en la tele: nuevas formas de hacer comedia Palliata en veinte minutos

Después de tanta tragedia, la comedia, como hacían los antiguos romanos para liberar a los espectadores de la conmoción trágica. Por el título igual parezca que voy hablar de una receta, y un poco es eso, como veremos luego, sin embargo el objetivo principal de este trabajo es comparar el trabajo compositivo de Plauto, autor cómico latino de palliata, con el de los guionistas de las series televisivas cómicas, las sitcoms, de origen norteamericano, pero que han llegado hasta Europa y hasta nosotros, con gran éxito, como Friends, Las chicas de oro o Matrimonio con hijos, Big Bang Theory, Modern family, Cómo conocí a vuestra madre, y que a su vez han generado productos nacionales, como Los ladrones van a la oficina, Aquí no hay quien viva (La que se avecina), Siete vidas, Aída, Escenas de matrimonio o Cámara café.Universidad de Málaga.

Col.lectius amb conductes disruptives que dificulten el seu aprenentatge, i millora dels seus resultats amb l’aprenentatge emocional aplicat a l’aula de tecnologia

El TFM (Treball Final de Màster) parla sobre les conductes disruptives dels alumnes que pateixen molts centres educatius actualment, i que és un element problemàtic i distorsionador per al bon funcionament de les classes. Aquests determinats comportaments disruptius afecten greument el procés d'aprenentatge de la resta de companys, i dificulten la tasca del professorat en poder gestionar correctament l'Aula. Amb aquest treball es pretén donar eines al professorat i als alumnes per que pugui afrontar la problemàtica de les conductes disruptives a través de l'Aprenentatge Emocional, específicament en la utilització de Tècniques Emocionals que ens permetin corregir-les, i dotar als alumnes d'habilitats emocionals que els permetin controlar les emocions i pensaments negatius, que les propicien. Però per poder-lo aplicar, els docents necessiten preparació en aquest camp ja que els són peça fonamentat per l'èxit de l'aprenentatge emocional, i el centre ha d'incloure l'educació emocional dintre dels propòsits de formació a tots els nivells i dintre del currículum acadèmic

La tradición clásica en la prosa científica de Chile y Argentina. Plinio y las ballenas en la obra del abate Molina

Este artículo pretende ofrecer una visión general de los estudios dedicados en Argentina y Chile al género literario llamado «historia natural». Con el auge de la conciencia nacional, algunos autores americanos y europeos, impulsados por un deseo de expansión comercial y conocimiento científico, empezaron a describir la fauna de los territorios americanos. En ese empeño, recurrieron a la literatura clásica y, sobre todo, a la Naturalis historia de Plinio. Uno de los autores más influyentes en esta reformulación de métodos y figuras clásicas fue el abate Molina, cuyo Compendio de la Historia Geográfica, Natural y Civil del Reyno de Chile sigue de cerca el modelo estilístico de Plinio.This paper aims to offer a general view of the studies devoted in Argentina and Chile to the literary genre called Natural History. With the emerging awareness of nationhood, a number of American and European authors, prompted by a desire for commercial expansion and scientific knowledge, began to describe the wildlife of the American territories. In undertaking this task they made use of classical literature, specially Pliny's Naturalis Historia. One of the most influential authors in this reworking of classical methods and figures was Abbot Molina, whose work Compendio de la Historia Geográfica, Natural y Civil del Reyno de Chile is closely modelled on Pliny's style
