Destacados intelectuales comprometidos con la defensa de los derechos humanos se reúnen en la UGR para rendir homenaje a José Saramago

Escrito por

  • Pilar del Río, Ángeles Mora, Juantxo López de Uralde o Federico Mayor Zaragoza, entre otros, recordarán en Granada al escritor portugués
  • Mesas redondas, conciertos y proyecciones cinematográficas servirán para revisar su faceta más comprometida y humanista

La Universidad de Granada celebra una semana de actividades culturales dedicada a recordar la figura de José Saramago, en la que se rendirá homenaje a la faceta más humana y comprometida del escritor portugués.

Del 26 al 30 de abril, y bajo el título “Recordando a José Saramago”, los organizadores de la iniciativa pretenden convertir Granada, según sus propias palabras, “en un hervidero de discusiones y debates que, partiendo de la vida y la obra de José Saramago, quieren ser foros diversos y cargados del futuro de la juventud granadina donde discutir qué alternativas se han construido, se están construyendo y se podrían construir para superar las extraordinarias crisis que estamos sufriendo.”

Las actividades, en cuya organización colaboran la Fundación José Saramago y el Instituto Politécnico de Educación Secundaria “Hermenegildo Lanz”, son de acceso libre (hasta completar aforo), y contarán con la participación de destacados intelectuales ligados a la figura de José Saramago y comprometidos también con la defensa activa de los derechos humanos como Pilar del Río (periodista, compañera de José Saramago y presidenta de la fundación que lleva su nombre), Ángeles Mora (traductora de la poesía de Saramago), Juantxo López de Uralde (exdirector general de Greenpeace y miembro de la Fundación EQUO) o el exdirector general de la UNESCO Federico Mayor Zaragoza.

Las jornadas darán comienzo el próximo martes 26 de abril y se abrirán con un acto inaugural que se celebrará en la Universidad de Granada y contará con la presencia de Pilar del Río.

La cuentística en judeo-árabe como ejemplo de interculturalidad, objeto de un libro publicado por la UGR

Escrito por

  • Con edición al cuidado de las profesoras Beatriz Molina Rueda, María José Cano Pérez, y Tania M. García Arévalo, el volumen ha sido publicado con la colaboración de la Fundación Euroárabe, el Instituto de la Paz y los Conflictos de la UGR, y el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación

El libro “La cuentística en judeo-árabe como ejemplo de interculturalidad” es el resultado de proyecto de investigación homónimo, y de las jornadas que con el mismo nombre se celebraron en la Universidad de Granada, en la sede de la Fundación Euroárabe de Altos Estudios, en noviembre de 2010, con el objetivo de difundir los resultados de la investigación de un aspecto parcial del amplio legado cultural (literario, histórico, etc.) del judaísmo sefardí que se desarrolló en el Magreb, tras el asentamiento en aquellos territorios de parte de los judíos hispanos expulsados de España en 1492, así como la localización, y reconocimiento, a través de este legado, de los posibles elementos de interculturalidad presentes en aquellas sociedades. Para ello, los autores se han basado en el estudio de un conjunto de textos literarios escritos en judeo-árabe a mediados del siglo XX.

Publicado por la Editorial de la Universidad de Granada (eug), con edición al cuidado de las profesoras Beatriz Molina Rueda, María José Cano Pérez, y Tania M. García Arévalo, el volumen ha sido editado con la colaboración de la Fundación Euroárabe, el Instituto de la Paz y los Conflictos de la UGR, y el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación

El judeo-árabe puede definirse, según los editores de este volumen, como una variante lingüística del árabe medio, una lengua judía cuyas principales características son el uso del alfabeto hebreo, la influencia de la lengua coloquial, el uso de pseudocorrecciones, la influencia de los léxicos hebreo y arameo, y la presencia de rasgos fonológicos distintivos.

En estas páginas, pues, se da respuesta a interrogantes sobre el judeo-árabe y su contexto, su origen y desarrollo, el papel unificador que desempeñó entre las comunidades judías arabófonas, así como aspectos concretos de las obras estudiadas.

It’s true after all: Women DO get more upset during rows – but only because men always start them in the first place

Escrito por

It is the age-old complaint of long-suffering menfolk everywhere – that women take rows too much to heart.

Now research has confirmed the male suspicion is true, as women apparently do get more upset than their partners when couples squabble.

But husbands and boyfriends shouldn’t feel too pleased with themselves; the same study showed that men cause most relationship rows in the first place.
The study found men expressed more ‘powerful undermining emotions’ than women in rows

The study found men expressed more ‘powerful undermining emotions’ than women in rows

According to research, women feel emotions more intensely than men when conflicts arise within a relationship.

However, it is men who are behind most rows between couples because they are more likely to express ‘powerful undermining emotions’ such as wrath or contempt.

The findings came from researchers at the University of Granada in Spain, who analysed the type of interpersonal emotions men and women feel when they face different conflicts within their relationship.

A total of 142 people – 75 women and 67 men – were exposed to five different situations in which a couple might experience an argument.

Researchers analysed the type of interpersonal emotions men and women feel, and the effect emotions have on the recurrence of conflict.

In situations where one partner offends the other or treats them disrespectfully, women felt miserable, while the situation in which one partner was physically aggressive during an argument, women felt more disappointed than men.

In another scenario where one partner distorted an argument to be right, research showed that women felt sadness, while men merely felt embarrassed.
Women were said to feel more intense emotions, both ‘powerful’ and ‘non-powerful’

Women were said to feel more intense emotions during arguments

During an argument with a partner, men were said to have more domineering or powerful emotions such as wrath, anger or contempt, while women would experience more submissive attitudes, like guilt, sadness or fear.

However, the research proved that women feel more intense emotions.

Researchers think that ‘the socio-cultural context and gender-based roles assigned to men and women respectively might have a relevant influence on the generation of expectations concerning their role in relationships and in conflicts within the couple’.

They added: ‘Thus, as society establishes certain rules on the composition of men-women relations, it also establishes some rules on how both are expected to act in certain conflictive situations.’

The research is published in the science journal Psychosocial Intervention.

Spanish scientists produce bioartificial organ

Escrito por

A group of scientists in Spain have succeeded in clinical laboratory testing to make a bioartificial organ.

 

Marking the first time this has been achieved in the country, the researchers implanted human stem cells after extracting pig corneal cells.

Based at the University of Granada, the team of six scientists used decellularisation and recellulation to complete the process.

In doing so, they were able to switch the cells while keeping the fundamental corneal structure in place.

Previously, this research group forged an artificial cornea, which is currently being prepared to commence clinical trials.

This tissue was made from biomaterials and developed at the University of Granada’s Tissue Engineering Laboratory.

Recently, scientists in Wales have made another kind of headway with tissue in Wales.

Speaking at the Society for General Microbiology’s Spring Conference, Professor Rose Cooper from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff revealed that manuka honey can help to treat infected wounds that are resisting antibiotics.

For the study, a total of 142 people – 75 women and 67 men – were exposed to five different situations in which a couple might experience an argument. During the study it was observed that in situations where one partner offends the other or treats them disrespectfully, women felt miserable, while the situation in which one partner was physically aggressive during an argument, women felt more disappointed than men.

In a quarrel, men expresses powerful undermining emotions like wrath, anger or contempt, while women would experience more submissive attitudes, like guilt, sadness or fear.

Washington, April 16 (ANI): University of Granada researchers have developed the first bioartificial organ in Spain.

Professors Antonio Campos and Miguel Alaminos (histologists), Maria del Mar Perez, Ana Ionescu and Juan de la Cruz Cardona (opticians) and ophthalmologist Miguel Gonzalez Andrades, at the University Hospital San Cecilio, Granada, were behind the creation.

They extracted pig corneal cells and replaced them with human stem cells.

This method, known as decellularization and recellulation, allows scientists to maintain the basic structure of the cornea and replace its cellular components.

The findings were published in IOVS (Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science). (ANI)
