We present new spectroscopic data for Gaia DR3 2309499817384726016 (WD 0008-350A) and its two wide, comoving, low-mass companions. We confirm the white dwarf is a hydrogen rich DA, with T _eff = 6200 ± 90 K and a mass of 0.63 ± 0.03 M _⊙ , close to that of the average white dwarf. Near-infrared spectra of the two stellar companions to WD 0008-350A reveal that the inner companion is an M dwarf, exhibiting a spectral type of M8. Furthermore, the outer companion is identified as a possible M6 + M9 binary. This paper examines the evidence which suggests the system may be quadruple.
La praxis diplomática implica a perfiles muy diversos en las cortes medievales. El intercambio de mensajes, así como a quién se recurre para lograr determinados intereses políticos señala a los embajadores, pero también a otros oficiales al servicio del rey y, por supuesto, a las mujeres de la parentela regia. Este trabajo pretende ahondar en la participación femenina en la acción diplomática, tanto por su papel de mediadora como por su necesaria presencia en la celebración de encuentros diplomáticos, ya sea a nivel familiar, político o protocolario a partir del caso castellano en los últimos siglos de la Edad Media.
This article studies of the social genesis of Juan Marsé’s novel Últimas tardes con Teresa (1966), based on an initial reflection on Marsé’s relationship with critics. The tools of the sociology of literature allow us to enter the ideological unconscious of the work, traversed by the refraction effected in the tradition of the Spanish peninsular literary field at the time of its writing. We have called this «literary gaze» or «refraction». This study deals with the novel that marked Marsé’s consecration as a writer: Últimas tardes con Teresa (Last Evenings with Teresa), although it makes reference to other works. The article explores how the story and its narrative geography reproduce the image in negative of the writer’s social world and, therefore, of the process of Marsé’s incorporation into the avant-garde of the Spanish-Barcelonian literary field of the time, its conflicts and tensions: basically, the belligerent relationship with the critics and the bitter sarcasm about the interweaving of class domination, cultural power and the ideology of commitment. The interweaving of these conflicts—we will argue—distils a salient feature of his literary tone: the simultaneously melancholic and ironic attitude to his class origins and to the declassification implied by his entry into the dominated fractions of the ruling class, or, his consecration as a writer.

The Spanish Merino is the most significant sheep breed globally due to its economic and cultural importance in human history. It has also had a substantial influence on the development of other Merino and Merino-derived breeds. Historical sources indicate that crossbreeding to produce finer, higher-quality wool was already taking place in the south of the Iberian Peninsula during the Roman era. This evidence suggests that individuals with a racial pattern very similar to that of the modern Merino may have already existed on the peninsula. The presence of the skeletal remains of these animals at various human settlements dated to the late fourth and third millennia BC could provide insights into the genomics of these ancestral sheep. This study analyses ancient DNA extracted from nine skeletal remains from three archaeological sites in Southern Iberia, dated to the third millennium BC. The samples were sequenced and aligned with the ovine genome. The genetic distances observed among the samples indicate a closer relationship between several animals from the Marinaleda (Seville) and Grañena Baja (Jaén) sites. The study of the slaughter/death age profiles identified at La Minilla (La Rambla, Córdoba) suggests an approach centred on meat exploitation, while the data from Marinaleda (Seville) and Grañena Baja (Jaén) indicate the potential exploitation of secondary resources. A review of the composition of these small ruminant herds could provide insights into the type of secondary resource exploitation that may have been prioritised. Our aim is to investigate the presence of distinct production systems, differentiating between those aimed primarily at meat use and those focused on secondary products. This is the first approach to exploring the genetic evidence for sheep livestock related to its productive use during this period and in this geographical area.

AbstractRecent research on late Reformation English/British Catholics’ engagement in contemporary politics, has, for the most part, focused on regicidal schemes or on Catholic polemical writings. Espionage activities by Catholics in England, however, have been often overlooked. The hundreds of documents endorsed ‘avisos de Inglaterra’ (reports from England), located in el archivo general de Simancas, are intelligence dossiers about England. These reports were sent to Spain (between 1590–1608) by Hugh Owen, a Welsh Catholic exile, using information gathered by his informants in England. This article seeks to introduce the ‘avisos’ as a genre of sources by exploring the intelligence they contained and placing them within their broader context of Elizabethan/ Jacobean Catholicism and Anglo‐Spanish relations. In using this largely untapped source of Anglo‐Spanish history, this article reaches broader conclusions about how Catholics in England interacted with the Spanish authorities, and tried to influence the Anglo‐Spanish war to their advantage.
Better regulation is a public policy that governments implement to improve the quality of life of their citizens. These policies bring significant benefits to all market players, among the most palpable are innovation, administrative simplification, a clear commitment by the government, and competitiveness. A fundamental entity for the development of this type of regulation is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), whose main objective is to create policies that improve the quality of life of citizens around the world. Among the members of this organization are first world countries such as the United States and Spain, as well as third world Latin American countries such as Mexico and Colombia, whose government administration serves as a model for the Ecuadorian people. It is because, without considering that their economies are not as large, developed, and stable, they have managed with the commitment, perseverance, and responsibility to be supported by this international institution. Nowadays, the problem of over and deregulation that has remained in Ecuador. Since the beginning of its history, it serves as an axis of study to propose the implementation of regulatory improvement within its political system. In order do this, it must be considering the principles of governance, proper preparation for its application, and the professionalism of all market players.

<p><span><strong>Abstract:</strong></span></p><p>The current study analyzes the possible similarities and parallelisms between Cristóbal de Castillejo’s <em>La</em> <em>fábula de Acteón</em>, and two works by Francisco de Quevedo entitled <em>Hero y Leandro en paños menores</em> and <em>Baile de los nadadores</em>, respectively. Both authors use similar ingenious rhetorical and stylistic devices in order to cause a humorous effect and the parody of some well-known myths. Castillejo offers thus a new perspective fully inserted into the anti-court satire, as one of the main representatives of this literary trend. <em>La fábula de Acteón</em> may actually be related to other of his essential works, namely, <em>Aula de cortesanos</em> and <em>Farsa de la Costanza</em>.</p><p><span><strong><br /></strong></span></p><p><span><strong>Resumen:</strong><br /></span></p><p>El presente artículo analiza las posibles concomitancias y paralelismos existentes entre <em>La</em> <em>fábula de Acteón,</em> del poeta renacentista salmantino Cristóbal de Castillejo, el romance <em>Hero y Leandro en paños menores, </em>y la pieza para teatro <em>Baile de los nadadores</em>, estos dos<em> </em>últimos de Francisco de Quevedo. En ambos autores encontramos la utilización similar de una serie de ingeniosos recursos retórico-estilísticos para provocar el efecto humorístico y la parodia de los conocidos mitos que abordan.

Partant de la notion d'identité, ce travail analyse les parcours discursifs tracés par don Juan Manuel à propos de lui-même et de sa famille, pour les confronter avec la représentation de l'altérité musulmane. Notre étude examine le lexique d'origine arabe employé par l’auteur (premier témoignage en langue espagnole), les techniques narratives d’origine orientale, les problèmes posés par les sources de ses exempla ainsi que son emploi des proverbes. Ces derniers sont bien présents dans trois récits, nés de la tradition orale d’al-Andalus (no 30, 41 et 47), qui seront particulièrement considérés ici; aussi, une attention plus précise sera portée sur le premier, le conte d’Al Mu’tamid et Rumaykiyya.
