Cáceres versus Abinum. Wedding presents in the Jewish nation of Pisa

Este trabajo estudia un aspecto destacado del matrimonio hebreo, los regalos de boda entre los contrayentes, a partir de documentación inédita procedente de la comunidad sefardí establecida en la ciudad italiana de Pisa desde finales del siglo XVI. Dado que, al parecer, no se ha conservado ningún texto que testimonie directamente el asunto, se ha analizado y editado un expediente del mamotreto de atti civili -signatura 1286 del Archivo Histórico de la Comunidad Hebraica de Pisa- fechado entre enero y febrero del año 1685, en que se recogen numerosas alusiones al respecto. El expediente estudiado -el nº 39 titulado “Cáceres contra Abinum”- consiste en la demanda de devolución de los regalos de boda solicitada por Ester de Cáceres a su consuegro Yehoshua Abinum y su nuera Luna para poder afrontar el pago de las deudas familiares.This paper studies an important aspect of the Hebrew marriage, the wedding gifts among the husband and the wife, from unpublished documentation from the sefardi community established in the Italian city of Pisa since the end of the 16th century. However, apparently, no text has been preserved directly testimony the issue. For this reason this study has analyzed and edited a record of the first hefty volume of atti civili -signature 1286 of the historical archive of the Hebrew community of Pisa- from January and February 1685, in which there are a lot of references about it. The filed record -the number 39 entitled “Cáceres versus Abinum”- consists of the demand for the return of the wedding gifts requested by Ester de Cáceres to Yehoshua Abinum and his daughter Luna (Ester’s daughter-in-law) to be able to fulfill the payment of the family debts

La antroponimia de la nación hebrea de Pisa

Este artigo é uma contribuição para o conhecimento da antroponímia da comunidade sefardita de Pisa (Itália). Fundada no final do século XVI, esta última foi logo ultrapassada em importância pela sua congénere de Livorno. A abundância da documentação pisana, a partir de 1660, convida ao estudo dos nomes dos seus membros, inserindo-os no respetivo contexto histórico. Procede-se à publicação de uma lista de moradores da comunidade, a partir da qual se procura conhecer a respetiva estrutura (nomes próprios e de família) e transmissão onomásticas. Conclui-se que os nomes, como de costume, são de origem hebraica, ao passo que, dos sobrenomes, destacam-se aqueles de origem ibérica.This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the anthroponomy of the Sephardic community of Pisa. Founded at the end of the 16th century, it was soon surpassed by neighboring Livorno. The abundant Pisan documentation since 1660 invites a study of the personal names of its members, viewing it from the historical context of such community. Following the publication of a list of its residents, a study of its onomastic structure (given and family name) and transmission is proposed. The data gathered shows that the names, as usual, are of Hebrew origin, whereas the surnames stand out those of Iberian origin

La elección del nombre de bautismo en el siglo XVI: el caso de Jacinto

The paper focuses on Spanish Jacinto (and the female name Jacinta) in the 16th century. For this research, all the baptismal books housed in the parishes of Seville have been studied, particularly the baptismal registers of the Sagrario, the main parish of the city. The study shows that Jacinto, very rare in the 16th century, became frequent in the last five years as a simple name and as an element of double names (e.g. Juan Jacinto). The reason for this extraordinary spreading, in all social classes, seems to be the canonization of Hyacinth of Poland (April 1594). The role of the Sevillian Church must be important in this historic event.El trabajo se concentra en el estudio del nombre Jacinto (y de su femenino Jacinta) en el siglo XVI. Para ello se han analizado todos los libros de bautismo conservados en los archivos parroquiales de Sevilla, con especial atención a los de la principal parroquia de la ciudad, la del Sagrario de la Santa Catedral. Del análisis llevado a cabo se desprende que este antropónimo, sin apenas testimonios a lo largo del siglo, se hizo muy frecuente en el último lustro como nombre simple y como elemento integrante de nombres dobles (por ejemplo, Juan Jacinto). El motivo de esta extraordinaria difusión, comprobable en todos los sectores sociales, parece ser la canonización de Jacinto de Cracovia, declarada en abril de 1594. El papel de la Iglesia sevillana debió de ser fundamental en este fenómeno

Biomedical Applications of the Biopolymer Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV): Drug Encapsulation and Scaffold Fabrication

Review[Abstract] Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymer that has gained popularity in the field of biomedicine. This review provides an overview of recent advances and potential applications of PHBV, with special emphasis on drug encapsulation and scaffold construction. PHBV has shown to be a versatile platform for drug delivery, offering controlled release, enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and reduced side effects. The encapsulation of various drugs, such as anticancer agents, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs, in PHBV nanoparticles or microspheres has been extensively investigated, demonstrating enhanced drug stability, prolonged release kinetics, and increased bioavailability. Additionally, PHBV has been used as a scaffold material for tissue engineering applications, such as bone, cartilage, and skin regeneration. The incorporation of PHBV into scaffolds has been shown to improve mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and cellular interactions, making them suitable for tissue engineering constructs. This review highlights the potential of PHBV in drug encapsulation and scaffold fabrication, showing its promising role in advancing biomedical applications.Instituto de Salud Carlos III; PI20/00933Instituto de Salud Carlos III; PI17/02197Xunta de Galicia; ED431B 2020/5

Acquisition of educational values at the Real Madrid Foundation’s social-sports schools

The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of the educational programme of the Real Madrid Foundation (RMF) on the acquisition of educational values at social-sports football and basketball schools among children aged between 12 and 16 years in Italy, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom. The most significant results showed that: (a) between the 20–21 and 21–22 seasons, there were statistically significant increases in personal and team success, self-fulfilment, personal and group superiority, health and physical fitness, and peaceful behaviour; and (b) the increase in variables being studied was different according to the country analysed in such a way that: in the per-sonal and team success dimension there was a rise in the United Kingdom and Italy; in self-fulfilment there was an increase in the United Kingdom; in the personal and group superiority dimension there was a rise in Italy and Romania; in the health and physical fitness dimension there was an increase in social-sports schools in the United Kingdom and Italy; in the peaceful behaviour dimension there was a rise in social-sports schools in the United Kingdom and a drop in social-sports schools in Romania. There were very significant improvements in the majority of dimensions and countries, although the development of the various dimensions is different and specific to every one of the distinct countries, meaning that it is necessary to keep adapting the educational programme of the Real Madrid Foundation in line with the sociocultural characteristics of each of the countries in which it is implemented
