Resisting extractive uses of the archive in Colombian experimental non-fiction

In the first two decades of the 21st century, a cluster of Colombian filmmakers developed a distinctive body of work engaging with the country’s histories of violence through critical documentary and experimental devices. A nuanced use of appropriated footage is a recurrent feature in these works, signalling their engagement with historical events through mediated representation and a ‘suspicion of the archive’ (Suárez 2020, 542). This paper identifies distinct patterns in the filmmakers’ relationship to the materiality of archive materials, focusing on selected works by Camilo Restrepo, Laura Huertas Millán, and Juan Soto. It argues that the remediation of digital found footage, personal and private archives enacts reflexive and distancing strategies in order to obstruct extractivist uses of images. In their choice and use of appropriated and archival moving images, filmmakers grapple with their own social and geographic positionality in ambiguous ways.&nbsp

Sobre la presencia de Caradoc en Les Gavarres

Se estudia la sucesión estratigráfica de la sierra de las Gavarres en la que destaca la existencia de una potente formación vulcanosedimentaria, con niveles de edad Caradoc en su techo, que se apoya sobre materiales equivalentes a los de la serie de Jujols. La sucesión encontrada es perfectamente correlacionable con la del Pirineo oriental

Weak efficiency test in the colombian stock market

Este trabajo prueba la hipótesis de eficiencia débil al comprobar la hipótesis de martingala en diferencias en los retornos del Índice General de la Bolsa de Valores de Colombia, IGBC. Se considera una estructura de dependencia condicional de primer orden mediante el modelo auto-regresivo fraccionalmente integrado de medias móviles, ARFIMA, y de segundo orden con el modelo hiperbólico asimétrico potencial autorregresivo condicionalmente heterocedástico, HYAPARCH, el cual captura todos los hechos estilizados encontrados en la investigación empírica. Los resultados rechazan la hipótesis de eficiencia débil al mostrar que el proceso generador de los retornos parece obedecer a un modelo auto-regresivo fraccionalmente integrado, arfi, en media condicional y a un hiperbólico asimétrico autorregresivo condicionalmente heterocedástico, HYAGARCH, en varianza condicional.This paper proves the weak efficiency hypothesis when proving the maritingala hypothesis on return differences for the General Index of the Colombian Stock Exchange (IGBC) . A first order conditional dependency structure by using the Autoregressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Averages model ARFIMA, and on second order with the Hyperbolical Asymmetric Autoregressive Potential Conditionally Heteroscedastic model, HYAPARCH, which captures all the stylized facts in the empiric research is considered. The results reject the weak efficiency hypothesis when showing that the returns generation process seems to obey to and Autoregressive Fractionally Integrated model ARFI in conditional average anda Hyperbolical Asymmetric Conditionally Heteroscedastic model, HYAGARCH, in conditional variance.Este trabalho prova a hipótese de eficiência débil ao comprovar a hipótese de Gamarra em diferenças nas voltas do Índice Geral da Bolsa de Valores da Colômbia, IGBC. Considera-se uma estrutura de dependência condicional de primeiro ordem mediante o modelo Auto-regressivo Fraccionalmente Integrado de Médias Móveis,ARFIMA, e de segundo ordem com o modelo Hiperbólico Assimétrico Potencial Auto-regressivo Condicionalmente Heterocedástico, HYAPARCH, o qual captura todos os fatos estilizados encontrados na investigação empírica. Os resultados recusam a hipótese de eficiência débil ao mostrar que o processo gerador dasvoltas parece obedecer a um modelo Auto-regressivo Fraccionado Integrado, ARFI, em média condicional e a um Hiperbólico Assimétrico Auto-regressivo Condicionalmente Heterocedástico, HYAGARCH, em variância condiciona

Axion condensate as a model for dark matter halos

AbstractLocalized solutions of an axion-like scalar model with a periodic self-interaction are analyzed as a model of dark matter halos. It is shown that such a cold Bose–Einstein type condensate can provide a substantial contribution to the observed rotations curves of galaxies, as well provide a soliton type interpretation of the dark matter ‘bullets’ observed via gravitational lensing in merging clusters

A General Rhodium Catalyst for the Deuteration of Boranes and Hydrides of the Group 14 Elements

Pinacolborane, catecholborane, triethylsilane, triphenylsilane, dimethylphenylsilane, 1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 5, 5-heptamethyltrisiloxane, triethylgermane, triphenylgermane, and triphenylstannane deuterated at the heteroatom position have been catalytically prepared in 50-70% isolated yield, through H/D exchange between the D2 molecule and the respective boranes and hydrides of the group 14 elements, in the presence of the rhodium(I)-monohydride catalyst precursor RhH{¿3-P, O, P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (xant(PiPr2)2 = 9, 9-dimethyl-4, 5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene)
