Treballs Finals de Grau de Disseny. Facultat de Belles Arts. Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2017-2018, Tutor: MarĂa LĂłpez Ruido[spa] La perspectiva convierte al ojo en el centro del mundo visible. Vivimos en un undo hĂper-poblado de imágenes, en todos los momentos de nuestra vida nuestros ojos hacen de operarios. Nos fotografiamos constantemente y estas imágenes nos representan, somos reconocidos en ellas y por ellas.
En este proyecto me planteo si estas imágenes tienen autonomĂa propia y cĂłmo afectan a nuestras relaciones con los demás y nuestros sentimientos en sĂ. Usando dos enfermedades psicosomáticas relacionadas con la imagen como alegorĂa:
-SĂndrome de Stendhal: Reacciones como palpitaciones, vĂ©rtigo, confusiĂłn, entre otras ante las obras de arte y la belleza cuando Ă©sta está expuesta en gran cantidad.
-SĂndrome de ParĂs: alucinaciones, desilusiĂłn y desrealizaciĂłn entre otro sĂntomas al encontrar la diferencia que existe entre la imagen y lo real, entre la representaciĂłn y lo representado.
El proceso que realizamos al conocer a alguien en la sociedad-pantalla es similar a estos dos puntos: En un primer contacto, siempre a travĂ©s de alguna tecnologĂa, como un Smartphone, estas imágenes del otro nos abruman por su belleza y es tal la cantidad que no podemos abarcarla, sin embargo, su espectro negativo es que las imágenes son
tan perfectas que la persona representada en ellas no puede cumplir tales expectativas, sentimos desrealizaciĂłn al confrontar aquello que veĂamos representado.[eng] The perspective turns the eye into the center of the visible world. We live in a hyper-populated world of images, in every moment of our lives our eyes act as operators. We photograph ourselves constantly and these images represent us, we are recognized in them and by them.
In this project I wonder if these images have their own autonomy and how they affect our relationships with others and our feelings in themselves. Using two psychosomatic diseases related to the image as an allegory:
- Stendhal Syndrome: Reactions such as palpitations, vertigo, confusion, among other things, works of art and beauty, when exposed in large numbers.
- Paris syndrome: hallucinations, disillusionment and derealization among other syndics to find the difference between the image and the real, between the representation and the represented.
The process we do when meeting someone in society is similar to these two points: In a first contact, always through a technology, such as a smartphone, these images of the other overwhelm us for their beauty and is the amount that does not we can cover it, however, its negative spectrum is that the images are so perfect that the person represented in them can not meet expectations, we feel derealization when confronted with what we saw represented
Genealogies. Identitats tèxtils
Del 28 de gener al 25 de març de 2018. Espai Zero, Centre de Documentació i Museu Tèxtil de TerrassaLa present mostra està formada per un conjunt d’obres que parteixen de la matèria tèxtil per fer arribar visions
plurals sobre les relacions de gènere a la nostra societat, desenvolupades dins de la Facultat de Belles Arts de la Universitat de Barcelona. Aquest tèxtil, que es confereix a l’entrellaçar fils independents, s’ubica en
l’à mbit domèstic i l’engendra un sector femenĂ durant molts segles; nomĂ©s des d’algunes dècades ençà s’inclou com a matèria partĂcip i reivindicada en l´art. Aquest canvi es produeix crĂticament
amb la flongesa d’una roba que no encaixa amb els materials rĂgids ni amb els cĂ nons
tradicionals que aquest art havia establert fins aleshores; la seva apariciĂł en una sala expositiva qĂĽestiona, aixĂ, les bases dels seus estĂ ndards històrics. Sense exaltar la seducciĂł pel material, el
punt de partida de la proposta es centra en el tèxtil com a recurs per posar en comú enfocaments antagònics sobre les necessitats de reconèixer identitats
que es troben als marges d´un camĂ
social comĂş; per treure a la llum aquestes
presències implĂcites, o bĂ© per esquerdar les jer arquies ja assentades sobre el gènere o la sexualitat. En totes les seves possibilitats apareixerĂ , el tèxtil, ajustat o amorf, frĂ gil o robust, tensat o tan alliberat com ho sĂłn els plantejaments conceptuals i artĂstics amb els quals s’enfilen les obres d’aquesta exposiciĂł
Transient transformation of Podosphaera xanthii by electroporation of conidia
[Background]
Powdery mildew diseases are a major phytosanitary issue causing important yield and economic losses in agronomic, horticultural and ornamental crops. Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic parasites unable to grow on culture media, a fact that has significantly limited their genetic manipulation. In this work, we report a protocol based on the electroporation of fungal conidia, for the transient transformation of Podosphaera fusca (synonym Podosphaera xanthii), the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew.[Results]
To introduce DNA into P. xanthii conidia, we applied two square-wave pulses of 1.7 kV for 1 ms with an interval of 5 s. We tested these conditions with several plasmids bearing as selective markers hygromycin B resistance (hph), carbendazim resistance (TUB2) or GFP (gfp) under control of endogenous regulatory elements from Aspergillus nidulans, Neurospora crassa or P. xanthii to drive their expression. An in planta selection procedure using the MBC fungicide carbendazim permitted the propagation of transformants onto zucchini cotyledons and avoided the phytotoxicity associated with hygromycin B.[Conclusion]
This is the first report on the transformation of P. xanthii and the transformation of powdery mildew fungi using electroporation. Although the transformants are transient, this represents a feasible method for the genetic manipulation of this important group of plant pathogens.This study was supported by grants from the former “Ministerio de Ciencia e InnovaciĂłn (MICINN)” (AGL2010-21848-CO2-01/AGR) and current “Ministerio de EconomĂa y Competitividad (MINECO)” (AGL2013-41939-R), both co-financed by FEDER funds (European Union).

Controversies in the approach to thrombosis in cancer: extended secondary thromboprophylaxis and rethrombosis
Se presenta el caso de un varĂłn de 45 años con adenocarcinoma de pulmĂłn localmente avanzado diagnosticado a raĂz de una trombosis venosa profunda y un tromboembolismo pulmonar sincrĂłnico. DespuĂ©s de 6 meses de tratamiento anticoagulante con una heparina de bajo peso molecular, se decide reducir la dosis a niveles profilácticos y presenta un nuevo episodio de trombosis venosa profunda bilateral. Tras reintroducir la heparina a la dosis previa, presenta un tromboembolismo pulmonar masivo. Se hace una revisiĂłn de la evidencia acerca del tratamiento anticoagulante más allá de los 6 meses y del abordaje de la retrombosis en pacientes anticoagulados.We present the case of a 45-year-old man with locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and synchronous pulmonary embolism. After 6 months of anticoagulant treatment with low molecular weight heparin, the dose was reduced to prophylactic levels and a new episode of bilateral deep vein thrombosis occurred. After reintroducing heparin to the previous dose, the patient suffered a massive pulmonary embolism. The authors conducted a review of the evidence about anticoagulant treatment beyond 6 months and the approach of rethrombosis in anticoagulated patients
