    El ciclo de Conferencias del Departamento de Derecho Procesal celebra su segunda sesión el día 26 de Marzo a las 13h corriendo a cargo del Magistrado-Juez, D. José María Páez Martínez Virel –Juez Decano de los de Málaga- con una charla-conferencia sobre “Las funciones del Juez Decano. El reparto y el Registro civil”. Inicia su charla estableciendo la necesidad de la existencia de un “coordinador” de las funciones judiciales de los jueces cuando en un territorio existen varios jueces de la misma categoría. Fundamenta la necesidad de las funciones de coordinación para el cumplimiento del principio jurídico procesal del “juez legal o natural” y del principio del “reparto equitativo del trabajo judicial” y, deduce de estos principios las actividades que el Juez-Decano desarrolla y que conducen a una eficaz actividad jurisdiccional. Marca las diferentes reglas del reparto que pueden existir y existen en Málaga, en relación con el orden jurisdiccional sobre el que se actúa –civil - penal- y establece las consecuencias de la vulneración de esas reglas que están aprobadas por la Sala de Gobierno de los Tribunales Superiores de Justicia. Es tras este reparto a partir del cual comienza a producirse los efectos procesales de diversas instituciones jurídicas como la “imparcialidad” del juez –a través de la abstención y recusación- de la declinatoria y de la incompetencia de la jurisdicción, entre otros. Analiza estas instituciones y sus consecuencias y pasa a desarrollar las funciones de Registro Civil que los jueces decanos tienen en la actualidad. Habla del contenido y funciones del Registro Civil y desarrolla el “cambio” que el Gobierno pretende darle atribuyendo su llevanza y control a los Registros de la “Propiedad y Mercantiles”, analizando la diversa normativa existente hasta el momento y que, inexorablemente conducirá a la atribución de dichas funciones a los Registradores. A las 13:45 se abre un coloquio con el público asistente y a las 14:10 el moderador profesor Dr. Juan Antonio Robles Garzón, levanta la sesión.Universidad de Málaga.

    International audienceThis paper presented a study on the optimization of the pedestrian comfort in the citadel of Bonifacio, the windiest city of Europe. Urbalterre, the urban architect agency in charge of the project combined Wind Tunnel and CFD simulations to assess and optimize the pedestrian wind comfort. The first step was an evaluation of the wind statistics at the district location. Weather data from the nearest weather station was extrapolated to Bonifacio using CFD simulations on a domain of several kilometers to take into account the local orography and roughness. The design of the district was then performed in three steps. A first assessment was carried out in wind tunnel using Particle Image Velocimetry. To our knowledge, very few studies used this type of measurements to assess wind comfort. This kind of measurements indeed requires special care to obtain sufficient accuracy due to the proximity of the laser sheet from the ground. Velocity measurements were combined with weather data to compute a wind comfort criterion. Results highlighted severe comfort issues which require an optimization of the district. A second step consists of optimization carried out by the urban architects of Urbalterre themselves thanks to the UrbaWind CFD solution. Good correlations between wind tunnel and CFD results were observed. On some locations, CFD results presented lower wind mean speed values for some Venturi effects compared to the wind tunnel results. CFD tool allowed the urban architects to iterate several versions of the district and to convergence towards an optimal solution. The use of vegetation leads to an optimized version of the district which was finally tested again in the wind tunnel. Final adjustments were performed directly in the wind tunnel using PIV measurements to optimize a Venturi effect between two buildings. The main interest of this study is the combination of PIV measurements, which proved to be a very efficient tool to assess wind comfort in wind tunnel, and CFD simulations which were carried out by the urban architects themselves to iterate various solutions. The configuration of the Montlaur Citadel, due its location above 60m cliffs and the impressive statistics of the wind blowing on the South of Corsica Island, was a tough challenge regarding the optimization of pedestrian wind comfort. Again, the use of the vegetation has proven to be one of the most efficient way to optimize pedestrian wind comfort when designing a urban area

    International audienceAbstract Aim: Our pilot study aims to describe the effects ofa new specific and structured protocol focused on poetic/erotic writing (named SANTEL) on the (re)sexualization ofbody image in women, who have experienced cancer.Procedure: The protocol consists of four steps: to choose alist of erotic verses focused on the body parts, to fill a semistructuredpoetic text, to write sentences after target phraseson the body; and in the end, to write a free poem. Mrs V.suffered from breast cancer, and one breast was removed.She and her husband participated in this poetic writing protocol,separately. We analyzed the linguistic metaphors ofthe body by QSR Nvivo10 software.Results: Using this protocol, we showed discourse variationsof metaphors before and after the experience of writing.Patient V used “I feel like an alien” as a starting metaphorto describe her cancer experience and after poetic writingsessions, she used other bodily metaphors like “My body isa flower” and “My sensual and white flesh”.Conclusion: This poetic perspective promises a type of“perceptive-literary surgery”, characterized by a sensualinvestment process after remission: a poetic reconstructionof erotic body image.Les effets d'un protocole d'écriture poétique SANTEL sur l'image érotique du corps dans le traitement du cancer féminin : étude pilote The effects of poetry-writing SANTEL on erotic body image in remission of cancer in women: a pilot study A. Santarpia · J. Tellène · M. Carrier Résumé Objectif : Cette étude pilote de type qualitative et exploratoire vise à décrire les effets d'un nouveau protocole d'écriture poético-érotique (nommée SANTEL) sur la rééro-tisation de l'image du corps chez une femme, ayant vécu un cancer. Matériel et méthodes : Il s'agit d'un protocole composé de quatre étapes : une liste des phrases à caractères poétiques et érotiques à choisir, un texte à trous à remplir, des amorces de phrases ciblées sur le corps et en fin un poème libre. Madame V. a subi un cancer du sein nécessitant une ablation complète. Madame V. et son conjoint exécutent le protocole d'écriture séparément. Nous montrons les variations discursives des métaphores utilisées avant et après l'expérience de l'écriture, à travers le logiciel d'analyse qualitative QSR NVivo10. Résultats : Madame V. passera de la métaphore initiale « je me sens une extraterrestre » vers la plus atténuée « Non. Je me dis qu'extraterrestre c'était peut-être un peu énorme ». En plus, elle utilisera de nouvelles métaphores linguistiques du corps pour raconter son image du corps telles que « ce corps de chair blanche » et « une fleur qui s'ouvre délicatement ». Conclusion : Cet exercice spécifique d'écriture promet un type de « chirurgie perceptive-littéraire » dans le processus d'investissement sensuel et affectif après la rémission, une reconstruction perceptive et poétique de l'image érotique du corps.

Procedure: The protocol consists of four steps: to choose a list of erotic verses focused on the body parts, to fill a semi-structured poetic text, to write sentences after target phrases on the body; and in the end, to write a free poem. Mrs V. suffered from breast cancer, and one breast was removed. She and her husband participated in this poetic writing protocol , separately. We analyzed the linguistic metaphors of the body by QSR Nvivo10 software. Results: Using this protocol, we showed discourse variations of metaphors before and after the experience of writing. Patient V used " I feel like an alien " as a starting metaphor to describe her cancer experience and after poetic writing sessions, she used other bodily metaphors like " My body is a flower " and " My sensual and white flesh ". Conclusion: This poetic perspective promises a type of " perceptive-literary surgery " , characterized by a sensual investment process after remission: a poetic reconstruction of erotic body image.

    SUPERFAMILY—sophisticated comparative genomics, data mining, visualization and phylogeny

    Get PDF
    SUPERFAMILY provides structural, functional and evolutionary information for proteins from all completely sequenced genomes, and large sequence collections such as UniProt. Protein domain assignments for over 900 genomes are included in the database, which can be accessed at http://supfam.org/. Hidden Markov models based on Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) domain definitions at the superfamily level are used to provide structural annotation. We recently produced a new model library based on SCOP 1.73. Family level assignments are also available. From the web site users can submit sequences for SCOP domain classification; search for keywords such as superfamilies, families, organism names, models and sequence identifiers; find over- and underrepresented families or superfamilies within a genome relative to other genomes or groups of genomes; compare domain architectures across selections of genomes and finally build multiple sequence alignments between Protein Data Bank (PDB), genomic and custom sequences. Recent extensions to the database include InterPro abstracts and Gene Ontology terms for superfamiles, taxonomic visualization of the distribution of families across the tree of life, searches for functionally similar domain architectures and phylogenetic trees. The database, models and associated scripts are available for download from the ftp site

    Molecular characterization and evolution of alpha-actinin : from protozoa to vertebrates

    No full text
    alpha-actinin is a ubiquitous protein found in most eukaryotic organisms. The ability to form dimers allows alpha-actinin to cross-link actin in different structures. In muscle cells alpha-actinin is found at the Z-disk of sarcomeres. In non-muscle cells alpha-actinin is found in zonula adherens or focal adhesion sites where it can bind actin to the plasma membrane. alpha-actinin is the shortest member of the spectrin superfamily of proteins which also includes spectrin, dystrophin and utrophin. Several hypotheses suggest that alpha-actinin is the ancestor of this superfamily. The structure of alpha-actinin in higher organisms has been well characterized consisting of three main domains: an N-terminal actin-binding domain with two calponin homology domains, a central rod domain with four spectrin repeats and a C-terminal calcium-binding domain. Data mining of genomes from diverse organisms has made possible the discovery of new and atypical alpha-actinin isoforms that have not been characterized yet. Invertebrates contain a single alpha-actinin isoform, whereas most of the vertebrates contain four. These four isoforms can be broadly classified in two groups, muscle isoforms and non-muscle isoforms. Muscle isoforms bind actin in a calcium independent manner whereas non-muscle isoforms bind actin in a calcium-dependent manner. Some of the protozoa and fungi isoforms are atypical in that they contain fewer spectrin repeats in the rod domain. We have purified and characterized two ancestral alpha-actinins from the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Our results show that despite the shorter rod domain they conserve the most important functions of modern alpha-actinin such as actin-bundling formation and calcium-binding regulation. Therefore it is suggested that they are genuine alpha-actinins. The phylogenetic tree of alpha-actinin shows that the four different alpha-actinin isoforms appeared after the vertebrate-invertebrate split as a result of two rounds of genome duplication. The atypical alpha-actinin isoforms are placed as the most divergent isoforms suggesting that they are ancestral isoforms. We also propose that the most ancestral alpha-actinin contained a single repeat in its rod domain. After a first intragene duplication alpha-actinin with two spectrin repeats were created and a second intragene duplication gave rise to modern alpha-actinins with four spectrin repeats
