  • COVID-19 Vaccine News & Info
    September 27, 2021 COVID-19 Vaccine News & Infoi TIMELY UPDATES • New York State launched an outreach and implementation plan to ensure the availability and accessibility of booster doses statewide on Monday, September 27, 2021. The plan also includes a new dedicated website: NY.gov/Boosters • The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, September 24, 2021 reversed a recommendation by an agency advisory panel that did not endorse booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine for frontline and essential workers. Occupational risk of exposure will now be part of the consideration for the administration of boosters, which is consistent with the FDA determination. See: CDC Statement CDC recommends: o people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, o people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, o people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks, and o people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks.

However, because gesture is known to co- vary with other non-verbal behaviors, including eye gaze and prosody along with face, lip, and body movements, it is possible the beneficial effect of gesture is instead attributable to these other behaviors. We used a computer-generated animated pedagogical agent to control both verbal and non-verbal behavior. Children viewed lessons on mathematical equivalence in which an avatar either gestured or did not gesture, while eye gaze, head position, and lip movements remained identical across gesture conditions.

  • A Diocese Pombalina De Pinhel *
    A Diocese Pombalina de Pinhel * A diocese de Pinhel foi criada pelo Papa Clemente XIV em 1770, a pedido do rei D. José que, para esse efeito, mandou erigir em cidade a futura sede de bispado, por alvará de 25 de Agosto desse ano Entre as razões apresentadas pelo Rei português ao Papa invo- cava-se a "disforme e prejudicial extensão dos bispados de Viseu e de Lamego, que compreendem a maior parte da vasta província da Beira Alta» 2 cujos "grandes inconvenientes» eram «claros e mani- festos», por um lado, e o facto de a «nova cidade de Pinhel» «conter seis igrejas paroquiais, e muitas casas nobres, para servir de cabeça de um novo bispado» 3. Ambos cederiam à nova diocese as zonas fronteiriças: Viseu os arciprestados de Pinhel, Trancoso e Castelo Mendo, num total de 92 paróquias, e Lamego as «visitas» de Entre Coa e Távora e de Riba Coa, num total de 133 paróquias. Pinhel * Este artigo deveria ter integrado o volume da Didaskalia de homenagem ao Senhor Dom José da Cruz Policarpo, pela sua nomeação para Patriarca de Lisboa, o que não aconteceu apenas por atraso na sua conclusão. 1 São os seguintes os termos do referido alvará: «E para que nela se possa mais dignamente estabelecer a Catedral da mesma nova diocese, hei por bem e me apraz que a dita Vila de Pinhel do dia da publicação deste em diante fique criada em Cidade: que por tal seja tida, havida e nomeada com a denominação de Cidade de Pinhel: E que como tal Cidade haja, e tenha todos os privilégios, e liberdades, de que devem gozar, e gozam as outras Cidades destes Reinos; concorrendo com elas em todos os actos públicos, e usando os Cidadãos da mesma Cidade de todas as distin- ções, e preeminências, de que usam os das outras Cidades, sem diferença alguma».

  • El Cómic Y Su Relación Con El Arte En Fotogramas the Comic and Its Relationship with Art in Frames
    El cómic y su relación con el arte en fotogramas The comic and its relationship with art in frames AUTORES: Montalvo, Blanca Profesora Titular de Universidad. Dep. de Arte y arquitectura. Facultad de Bellas Artes. Universidad de Málaga Martínez Silvente, María Jesús Profesora Titular de Universidad. Dep. de Historia del Arte. Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. Universidad de Málaga PALABRAS CLAVE: Cómic, vídeo, fotografía, narración, instalación KEY WORDS: Comic, video, photography, storytelling, instalation RESUMEN: Esta comunicación se centra en el cómic y su relación con la fotografía. Proponemos analizar el lenguaje de la fotonovela como un formato transmedia entre el cómic, el cine, la instalación y el vídeo arte. También apostamos por una recuperación del formato, en la era de la imagen digital. Para llevarlo a cabo, analizamos las propuestas más experimentales desarrolladas desde mediados del siglo pasado, herederas de las publicadas en Help! (1960-1965) y Punk Magazine, (1978-1981). Desde Weirdo (1981- 1993), a la historia juvenil Doomlord, publicada en la revista Eagle (1982-1989), hasta las más recientes El fotógrafo (2003) de Lefèvre/ Guibert/ Lemercier y La grieta (2017) de Spottorno y Abril. Comparamos estas prácticas con obras de cine y arte que también desarrollan la narración mediante la utilización de imagen fija (fotografía o diapositivas), como las película de Chris Maker o Robert Smithson, las instalaciones de James Coleman o Nan Goldin, los flipbooks de Miguel Roschild, o el cine con múltiples pantallas de Jean Luc Godard y Lev Manovich. Para finalizar comentamos nuestro proyecto en proceso: La Súper Fotonovela. ABSTRACT: This communication focuses on comics and their relationship with photography.

  • Memory, Comics and Post-War Constructions of British Girlhood, Leuven University Press, 2015
    . Volume 12, Issue 2 November 2015 Review Mel Gibson, Remembered Reading: Memory, Comics and Post-War Constructions of British Girlhood, Leuven University Press, 2015. 223pps. ISBN: 9789462700307. €55.00 (£48.00). It is somewhat commonplace in reviews to say that a book ‘fills a gap’ in existing literature. But in this case, I think it is specifically true – in two definite ways. Mel Gibson in Remembered Reading both recovers a good deal of the detailed history of British girls’ comics, from 1945 until their effective demise in the mid-1990s; and she also allows the voices of their readers to be heard, if not for the very first time, then in a far more substantial and thoughtful way than previously. A substantial claim of the book indeed is to ‘break a silence’ around girls’ comics, which have for a long time been quite seriously sidelined and neglected in favour of more ‘masculine’ traditions and genres. What Gibson does very effectively in this book is to invite us to inspect a great variety of publications (often, helpfully, with illustrations of stories which she then comments on) for the ways in which they negotiated with emerging ideas of ‘girlhood’ – a distinctive cultural space between childhood and womanhood with shifting ideas of their interests, and desires (always risky things to handle!), strongly policed along not only sexual, but also class lines for ‘appropriateness’. Gibson positions her own research generally among comics researchers, girlhood studies, memory studies, media and cultural studies, and critical feminist research. Her own history, as comics fan, collector, scholar, and teacher is also vital to her work.
