Annual International Congress of Doctoral Students 2023
El manuscrito que se presenta corresponde al libro de resúmenes de las comunicaciones presentadas al segundo congreso internacional anual de estudiantes de doctorado de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. Dicho congreso se celebró de manera telemática los días 2 y 3 de febrero de 2023. El Congreso estuvo organizado por un comité formado por estudiantes de doctorado de nuestra Universidad en estrecha colaboración con el Vicerrectorado de investigación.
Food Matters
In the second sentence of Don Quixote, Cervantes describes the diet of the protagonist, Alonso Quijano: “A stew made of more beef than mutton, cold salad on most nights, abstinence eggs on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and an additional squab on Sundays.” Through an inventive and original engagement with this text, Carolyn A. Nadeau explores the shifts in Spain’s cultural and gastronomic history. Using cooking manuals, novels, poems, dietary treatises, and other texts, she brings to light the figurative significance of foodstuffs and culinary practices in early modern Spain. Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Stephen Mennell, Food Matters reveals patterns of interdependence as observed, for example, in how Muslim and Jewish aversion to pork fired Spain’s passion for ham, what happened when New World foodstuffs entered into Old World kitchens, and how food and sexual urges that so often came together, regardless of class, ethnicity, or gender, construct moments of communal celebration. This mouth-watering tour of the discourses of food in early modern Spain is complemented by an appendix that features forty-seven recipes drawn from contemporary sources.
The Catholic Church and Power Politics in Latin America
Click here to see a video interview with Emelio Betances. Click here to access the tables referenced in the book. Since the 1960s, the Catholic Church has acted as a mediator during social and political change in many Latin American countries, especially the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Although the Catholic clergy was called in during political crises in all five countries, the situation in the Dominican Republic was especially notable because the Church's role as mediator was eventually institutionalized. Because the Dominican state was persistently weak, the Church was able to secure the support of the Balaguer regime (1966-1978) and ensure social an...
SPM Toolbox for Register and Quantification of Dynamic PET Images in Rodents
Neuroimaging studies in preclinical research are an essential prerequisite for the development of drugs and biomarkers for human step. Being able to superimpose the functional and biological information provided by imaging techniques such as PET and SPECT on high-resolution anatomical images such as MRI, is of great help. However, few, complex and very expensive for small animal specific algorithms have been implemented, as opposed to those made for humans. This greatly hinders the work of researchers without technical training. In this project a graphical interface that facilitates the work of these professionals is proposed. To do so will start out the functions globally validated of SPM, written in MATLAB code. We will adapt it for use with rodents, and add the functionalities requested and that are not implemented in the SPM, as is the quantification and fusion of both images. SISCOM method for detecting epileptic foci will also be implemented as a collaborative group request. As a general conclusion, it has been found that the software made meets the specific needs of the center, thus facilitating the work of the image quantification.
Silver, Sword, and Stone

NGOs and Social Responsibility
It is increasingly being accepted that there is a benefit to both parties when a relationship is established between an NGO and a company. This book intends to research various aspects of such relationships in order to arrive at some conclusions regarding the potential benefits and pitfalls of such relationships.
