The five poems translated here draw upon Ruperta Bautista Vázquez's work in which the poet elaborates on Maya cosmovision. It dovetails with her more overtly political poetry in that these poems turn literature into a site of cultural organization and healing in the 21st Century.
Este trabajo se origina en mi Tesi di Laurea, que fue dirigida por la Profesora Elena Fasano Guarini, en colaboración con el Doctor Michele Olivari, y leída en la Università degli Studi di Pisa; se titula "Le Allegationes Fiscales (1642-1645) di Juan Bautista Larrea nel contesto politico e sociale della Spagna nell'età di Filippo IV". ; El artículo analiza una de las dos obras importantes de Juan Bautista Larrea, las Allegationes Fiscales, publicada en la etapa final del valimiento del Conde-Duque de Olivares. El interés del libro reside en su carácter práctico, ya que las alegaciones constituyen el producto de la actividad fiscal de Larrea en el Consejo de Hacienda entre 1634 y 1638, lo que permite profundizar en aspectos del funcionamiento de la estructura estatal. El artículo trata también de analizar la relación entre el poder monárquico — rey y valido — y el grupo letrado a través de Larrea quien, además, secundó en parte el proyecto político de Olivares. ; The present article analyses one of the two most important works of Juan Bautista Larrea, the Fiscal Claims, published at the final stage of the Conde Duque de Olivares's status as royal favourite. The interest of the book lies in its practical nature as the claims constitute the results of Larrea's fiscal activity at the Council of Treasury between 1634 and 1638. This enables us to analyse thoroughly the functional aspects of the State structure. The article also analyses the relationship between the monarchy power - King and Royal Favourite - and the legal advisory group represented by Larrea, who furthermore partly supported Olivares political scheme.

En este texto dibujaremos solo algunas líneas generales del retrato de un ser humano que nos ha dejado una enorme tarea, al haber abierto una nueva senda en la historia mundial de la filosofía y del pensamiento crítico. Juan José Bautista nació en La Paz, Bolivia el 27 de diciembre de 1958, su madre, Ana Hortensia Segales fue ama de casa, y su padre, Pablo Bautista, zapatero, ambos de origen aymara. Sería el tercero de cinco hermanos, y su crianza transcurrió entre La Paz y la isla de Anapia en el lago Titicaca, lugar que permaneció siempre como parte de las tierras de sus peregrinaciones.
Synthesis of porous SiO2 thin films in room temperature was carried out using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in an electron cyclotron resonance microwave reactor with a downstream configuration.The gas adsorption properties and the type of porosity of the SiO2 thin films were assessed by adsorption isotherms of toluene at room temperature.The method could also permit the tailoring synthesis of thin films when both composition and porosity can be simultaneously and independently controlled. The result shows that it is possible to control the microstructure of oxide thin films deposited by room temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor depositon (PECVD) by scarificial polymeric organic layers. ; Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología MAT2001-2820 ; European Union ENV4-CT97-0633
Moderate resolution remote sensing data, as provided by MODIS, can be used to detect and map active or past wildfires from daily records of suitable combinations of reflectance bands. The objective of the present work was to develop and test simple algorithms and variations for automatic or semiautomatic detection of burnt areas from time series data of MODIS biweekly vegetation indices for a Mediterranean region. MODIS-derived NDVI 250m time series data for the Valencia region, East Spain, were subjected to a two-step process for the detection of candidate burnt areas, and the results compared with available fire event records from the Valencia Regional Government. For each pixel and date in the data series, a model was fitted to both the previous and posterior time series data. Combining drops between two consecutive points and 1-year average drops, we used discrepancies or jumps between the pre and post models to identify seed pixels, and then delimitated fire scars for each potential wildfire using an extension algorithm from the seed pixels. The resulting maps of the detected burnt areas showed a very good agreement with the perimeters registered in the database of fire records used as reference. Overall accuracies and indices of agreement were very high, and omission and commission errors were similar or lower than in previous studies that used automatic or semiautomatic fire scar detection based on remote sensing. This supports the effectiveness of the method for detecting and mapping burnt areas in the Mediterranean region. ; This work was supported by the research projects FEEDBACK (CGL2011-30515- C02-01), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Innovation and Science, CASCADE (GA283068), funded by European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program, and GVPRE/2008/310, funded by the Valencia Regional Government (Generalitat Valenciana).
