TL;DR: In this article, the traditional knowledge and uses of sikta by the scarcely contacted Kichwa community of Pakayaku (Pastaza province, Ecuador) and further provide a scientific framework for its scientific validation.
Abstract: Tabernaemontana sananho is a tree member of the Apocynaceae family referred to as sikta in Kichwa language. It is widely used in northern South America as painkiller, stimulant, antiseptic and is also highly valued as a sacred plant. In this work, we report the traditional knowledge and uses of sikta by the scarcely contacted Kichwa community of Pakayaku (Pastaza province, Ecuador) and further provide a scientific framework for its scientific validation. A review of the available literature revealed the presence of a wealth of biologically active indole alkaloids that potentially account for the great number of medicinal uses of sikta. This case study is illustrative of the importance of scientific validation of traditional knowledge (i) for indigenous communities —as empowering tool—, (ii) for the sake of scientific knowledge and (iii) for plant conservation.

TL;DR: In this article, a chronological and historical overview about money is presented, with the objective of highlighting the monetary developments of the orthodox macroeconomics, as well as the alternative approaches against this dominant thought.
Abstract: Disputes over certain aspects of money, as its neutrality and the endogenous or exogenous nature of the money supply, have been ongoing between the various schools of thought and authors, its origin probably being at the time of development of scholastic thought. In this paper we intend, firstly, to make a chronological and historical overview about money, with the objective of highlighting the monetary developments of the orthodox macroeconomics, as well as the alternative approaches against this dominant thought. Finally, we try to value the post-Keynesian monetary developments, which are integrated into what is called “Monetary Economy of Production”, confronting them with the so-called New Neoclassical Synthesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, two world experts on homological methods in Banach space theory give functional analysts a new perspective on their field and new tools to tackle its problems, and apply them to solve many old and new problems in the theory of (quasi-) Banach spaces and outline new lines of research.
Abstract: Many researchers in geometric functional analysis are unaware of algebraic aspects of the subject and the advances they have permitted in the last half century. This book, written by two world experts on homological methods in Banach space theory, gives functional analysts a new perspective on their field and new tools to tackle its problems. All techniques and constructions from homological algebra and category theory are introduced from scratch and illustrated with concrete examples at varying levels of sophistication. These techniques are then used to present both important classical results and powerful advances from recent years. Finally, the authors apply them to solve many old and new problems in the theory of (quasi-) Banach spaces and outline new lines of research. Containing a lot of material unavailable elsewhere in the literature, this book is the definitive resource for functional analysts who want to know what homological algebra can do for them.

TL;DR: The sport has become an inexhaustible source of news; for others, the sport is the activity that generates greater volume of information as mentioned in this paper. But sports has become one of the most successful topics for the audience.
Abstract: Headlines in newspapers has been neccesary to keep the attention of readers. Nowdays even more. Digital journalism, journalism on internet, which competes with thousands of informative and advertising claims, has become a place where keep the atention is a necessity; in this area, the digital headline should be sufficiently attractive and should invite for keep the reader's attention. Today also we can find new readers. A reader who diversified his interests, ask for synthesis to attend many other occupations. Then the headlines acquires a special significance, because in many cases becomes the full new that are read, at least by busy reader. For all this we have to focus the interest in the sports cybermedia. While the sport has become a social phenomenon, it has developed as a specialized communication: the sports media. For some authors, the sport has become an inexhaustible source of news; for others, the sport is the activity that generates greater volume of information. Anyway, the sport has become one of the most successful topics for the audience. Proof of this is that the most read newspaper in Spain are sports ones.

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between word, image and symbol in the colonial America is analyzed using the Rhetorica christiana by Diego Valades (1579) and the Primer nueva coronica i buen gobierno (1615) by Guaman Poma.
Abstract: From the classic scheme per locos et imagines of the artificial memory, in this study we analyze the relations between word, image and symbol in the colonial America. For this, we will focus on the Rhetorica christiana by Diego Valades (1579) and the Primer nueva coronica i buen gobierno (1615) by Guaman Poma. Both books include images of varied nature: some of them are Eurocentric and stereotypic of the “otherness” (Valades) while others, more rhetorical and symbolic, are the result of two conceptions of the world (Poma de Ayala), but both are products of the effective use of the treatises on good managing of the art of memory, that are now presented as a useful resource for the configuration of new imageries and identities.

TL;DR: The Seeds of Science project as discussed by the authors is a radio program based on interviews and reports, which offers us on the one hand the scientific knowledge generated in laboratories and on the other and the ability to create networks among university services for the production of unique, rigorous material, and with journalistic accuracy that allows bringing science to society.
Abstract: ICT are enabling to develop a corporate communication based on the philosophy of procommon. Due to Internet, and the tools offered to work collaboratively, more than twenty university radios belonging to the ARU (University Radio Association of Spain) have launched, during 2014, a joint project of science Communication. Together, they have designed a radio program, “Seeds of Science”, based on interviews and reports, which offers us on the one hand the scientific knowledge generated in laboratories and on the other and the ability to create networks among university services for the production of unique, rigorous material, and with journalistic accuracy that allows bringing science to society. This article is intended to tell the experience during this first season of the project, while highlighting the benefits of running collaborations on communication and dissemination of research results. Furthermore, it is also an objective of this statement to deal with the new training required for those who work in this field in this project because it must combine their ability to have scientific aspects with their skills in the radio medium and their technological knowledge.

TL;DR: The present review summarizes current date knowledge on polychlorinated biphenyls quantified in wildlife, and their main effects on reproduction.
Abstract: Polychlorinated biphenyls are a broad family of persistent environmental pollutants of enormous environmental significance, because despite being prohibited, they are still found in alarming concentrations in the environment, enough to trigger environmental biomonitoring programs. Associated to this need to continue identifying and quantifying them, their potential effect as endocrine disruptors is of great relevance, being an important issue from the point of view of the reproduction of wildlife species. In fact, in the last two decades, the scientific community interest about investigating the alterations in the functioning of the endocrine system of vertebrates and invertebrates because of exposure to chemicals has increased. In short, the present review summarizes current date knowledge on polychlorinated biphenyls quantified in wildlife, and their main effects on reproduction.

Abstract: Hay que señalar que este libro redactado por el Profesor Andreas Hildenbrand Scheid, era realmente esperado por la comunidad universitaria en general y por los geógrafos muy en particular. Pero también es una obra muy necesaria para los responsables y técnicos de las diferentes administraciones públicas que tienen que tomar decisiones que afectan e impactan sobre la planificación territorial de las áreas metropolitanas. Hasta el momento la mayor parte de los informes y estudios académicos se habían centrado en la ciudad, su planeamiento y gestión. En otros casos, especialmente los geógrafos habían analizado los sistemas de ciudades a través de sus múltiples interrelaciones, pero pocos otros especialistas se habían atrevido con el abordaje de los grandes agregados urbanos. El Dr. Hildenbrand, arquitecto, acomete de una forma seria y rigurosa el desafío de los nuevos modelos de gestión urbana en las Áreas Metropolitanas, que son los escenarios en los que desde hace algunas décadas se halla buena parte de la población y es, según los últimos datos de las fuentes internacionales, el modelo residencial que se avecina. Este extenso libro de 370 páginas, se centra en el estudio de dos retos fundamentales que se plantean para la acción pública en las áreas metropolitanas: el reto de la buena gobernanza metropolitana y el reto del buen gobierno del territorio metropolitano, centrado en las ciudades alemanas de Stuttgart, Hannover y Frankfurt,

TL;DR: A translation of Anacreontea 38 (Campbell) by Flagrasto Cicne (pseudonymof Francisco Manuel Sanchez de Tagle) was published in El Diario de Mexico as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to recall from oblivion and analyze the translationsof the Anacreontea that were published by some members of a literary group called the “Mexican Arcadia” at the start of the 19th Century in El Diario de Mexico. In this journal a translation of Anacreontea 38 (Campbell) by Flagrasto Cicne (pseudonymof Francisco Manuel Sanchez de Tagle) was printed, as well as two different translations of Anacreontea 24, one probably due to Sanchez de Tagle himself, while the other was the one Luzan included also in his Poetic (Zaragoza, 1737); likewise, Moschus’ erotic epigram included in the Greek Anthology (XVI, 200) was translated by Manuel Martinez de Navarrete and published twice within a couple of months in the same journal.

TL;DR: The presente articulo trata de ofrecer una lectura estetica y politica de la antologia de la poesia hispanoamericana that publicara Leopoldo Panero entre 1944 and 1945 bajo proteccion gubernamental as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: El presente articulo trata de ofrecer una lectura estetica y politica de la Antologia de la poesia hispanoamericana que publicara Leopoldo Panero entre 1944 y 1945 bajo proteccion gubernamental. Para ello se parte de la particular biografia del escritor astorgano, su relacion en los anos treinta con los poetas hispanoamericanos –especialmente Vallejo y Neruda– y su gira por America ya como supuesto prohombre del regimen franquista en 1949 y 1954. La lectura sistematica de sus prologos y seleccion de poetas revela la particular vision de Panero sobre Hispanoamerica, mediatizada por el concepto imperial de Falange pero formulada bajo su propia vision de lo que la lirica americana representa para la lengua castellana. Se sostiene asi en estas lineas la tesis de que los postulados de Panero representan, a pesar de todo, una opcion mucho mas compleja de lo que se suele considerar.

TL;DR: The authors define didactica as un proyecto plurilingue internacional, in which escolares espanoles by medio de their capacidad creativa den a conocer a traves de cuentos digitales, su cultura y su lengua to estudiantes de cualquier otro pais.
Abstract: La presente propuesta didactica se define como un proyecto plurilingue internacional, cuya finalidad es que escolares espanoles por medio de su capacidad creativa den a conocer a traves de cuentos digitales, su cultura y su lengua a estudiantes de cualquier otro pais. Pues, de forma muy parti­cipativa e interdependiente a la par que nuestros alumnos ofrecen integramente su esencia cultural, los del otro pais colaborador haran exactamente lo mismo. De modo, que al acabar la experiencia ambos colegios puedan editar de forma conjunta una obra literaria de caracter juvenil, con un gran potencial didactico y puntera en su metodologia de desarrollo, ofreciendose mutuamente un novedoso aprendi­zaje de lenguas.

TL;DR: The first studies in philosophy that studied digital technology did not specify the characteristics of its various technical applications or instruments as mentioned in this paper, and they looked at the virtual reality and used the metaphor of immersion to study the set of all technological developments, as had been done before with the novel.
Abstract: The first studies in Philosophy that studied digital technology did not specify the characteristics of its various technical applications or instruments. They looked at the virtual reality and used the metaphor of immersion to study the set of all technological developments, as had been done before with the novel. Thus, Internet is misunderstood by many experts as virtuality (next to Baudrillard), rather than linking its hypertext system closer to other theories like those proposed by Deleuze and Guattari or Bourriaud.

TL;DR: In this article, the comparison with a statue, the bride of Hades motif, the initial silence of a main character, the mortals' cooperation with the Moirai in bringing disaster on a family, and the contrast between a king's fortune and a father's suffering.
Abstract: adesp. fr. 700 Kn.-Sn. might belong to Euripides’ Andromeda, not to a Niobe. The following details from adesp. fr. 700 K.-Sn. might be in agreement with what is known of Euripides’ Andromeda: (a) the comparison with a statue; (b) the bride of Hades motif; (c) the initial silence of a main character; (d) mortals’ cooperation with the Moirai in bringing disaster on a family; (e) the contrast between a king’s fortune and a father’s suffering. There is no need to emend the text in order to eliminate from l. 5 μάγους πάγας and its allusion to magic, which fits Medusa and Perseus sufficiently well.

Abstract: La Literatura constituye una de las fuentes de inspiracion mas importantes para los pintores prerrafaelitas, quienes, aparte de los relatos mitologicos y leyendas medievales, se sintieron tambien atraidos por la Literatura Infantil. De hecho, artistas de la talla de Edward Burne-Jones o John Everett Millais, por citar tan solo dos, plasmaron en sus lienzos a las protagonistas de Cenicienta , Blancanieves y La bella durmiente , entre otras. Se analizan las claves iconograficas presentes en estos cuadros con una doble finalidad didactica: de un lado, utilizarlas como recurso visual para la ensenanza/aprendizaje de las distintas versiones de los cuentos de hadas; de otro, y desde una perspectiva mas hermeneutica, desentranar la omnipresencia de la representacion femenina en dichas telas, de lo que se derivan importantes conexiones con la actual revision de los mensajes implicitos en los relatos infantiles.
