En el presente trabajo se estudia la conducta de Juan de Osuna, en su contexto histórico exponiendo de forma detallada los personajes históricos que son mencionados en las revelaciones que el acusado dijo tener, con la finalidad de reconstruir sus vivencias y cómo el entorno de Osuna influenció y determinó sus visiones. Asimismo, se explora la posibilidad de un trauma que ocasionó un desequilibrio emocional, cuyo origen podría ser genético o somático, y que pudo haber motivado una crisis que dio paso a las visiones que Juan habría experimentado y el funcionamiento de las representaciones sociales en su realidad reconstruida en su sistema cognitivo e integrada a un sistema de valores que dependía de su historia, de su contexto histórico, social, ideológico y religioso. La investigación se fundamenta en el juicio que se le siguió por hereje en el tribunal de Inquisición en Cartagena de Indias en 1654.

En las cartas dotales de la Mérida del siglo XVIII, que reposan en el Fondo Protocolos del Archivo General del Estado Bolivariano de Mérida3 - Venezuela, se registraron el conjunto de muebles, alhajas e indumentarias, de uso personal de la mujer conocidos como ajuar. A partir de la descripción y valor de su contenido, se puede analizar la importancia que el ajuar tenía como valor simbólico dentro y fuera del hogar, pues era sinónimo de representación social y económico femenino al momento de las alianzas matrimoniales, generalmente, entre sectores privilegiados de la sociedad merideña dieciochesca. En este artículo, daremos una valoración de ello.

Apresenta-se um conjunto de cerâmicas de paredes finas de produção emeritense, provenientes de um contexto de produção identificado na atual cidade de Mérida (Badajoz, Espanha), onde se situava a capital provincial da Lusitânia, Augusta Emerita, em época romana. Trata-se de uma produção cerâmica que desde 1975, quando foi publicado Les céramiques à parois fines dans la Péninsule Ibérique por F. Mayet, que não é alvo de um estudo aprofundado tanto a nível tipológico como cronológico. Pretende-se com este artigo dar um contributo para a revisão de algumas das formas constantes dessa publicação, bem como dar a conhecer novas morfologias que foram identificadas a partir da análise artefactual deste mesmo contexto.

El creciente interés por la naturaleza y su conservación ha ocasionado un incremento significativo de las visitas turísticas a los Espacios Naturales Protegidos. Sin embargo, la falta de una planificación coherente y eficaz conlleva riesgos sustanciales. Por tanto, para aprovechar los beneficios del turismo de naturaleza en estos espacios, se requiere una gestión de la actividad basada en criterios de sostenibilidad. Con base en esta premisa, se presenta un estudio de caso con el objetivo de valorar los principales atractivos del Parque Natural de Cornalvo, impulsando su aptitud para promover experiencias ecoturísticas variadas y asociadas a su distintivo ecosistema de dehesas. Para ello, se analizaron las concepciones del personal encargado de la gestión del área protegida mediante el método Delphi. Además, se realizó un análisis DAFO, con la finalidad de aportar información que sirva de base para la toma de decisiones destinadas a revalorizar este espacio. Entre los resultados, se constata la relevancia de establecer circuitos turísticos con la ciudad monumental de Mérida, fomentando el turismo de proximidad. Asimismo, se considera de gran importancia aumentar el diálogo con los propietarios de terrenos dentro de este espacio, con quienes podrían establecerse acuerdos para implementar diversas iniciativas en el Parque.

The growing interest in nature and its conservation has led to a significant increase in tourist visits to Natural Protected Areas. However, the lack of coherent and effective planning entails substantial risks. Therefore, to take advantage of the benefits of nature tourism in these areas, a management of the activity based on sustainability criteria is required. Based on this premise, a case study is presented with the aim of assessing the main attractions of the Cornalvo Natural Park to determine its suitability to promote a variety of ecotourism experiences associated with its distinctive ecosystem of dehesas. For this purpose, the perceptions of the personnel in charge of the management of the protected area were analyzed using the Delphi method. In addition, a SWOT analysis was carried out to provide information that could serve as a basis for making decisions aimed at revaluing this area. Among the results, establishing tourist circuits with the monumental city of Mérida, promoting proximity tourism, was relevant. Likewise, increasing the dialogue with landowners within this space, with whom agreements could be established to implement various initiatives in the park is considered highly important.

A methodological approach for a semi-quantitative non-destructive testing (NDT) of the effects on hydric properties after the application of different conservation treatments (commercial ethylsilicate and siloxane compounds with consolidant, water repellent or consolidant + water repellent properties) is presented in this study. The NDT used for this purpose is a simplified method of time-sequential infrared thermography (IRT) on stone (granite and marble, treated and untreated) from the Roman theatre of Merida (Spain), which was listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Site in 1993. As water evaporation modifies temperature intensely, IRT enables monitoring the response of the stone samples during water absorption-evaporation processes. The comparative analysis between treated and non-treated specimens was performed by calculating the rate of surface apparent temperature change (ΔoC/h) value. The capillary rising test, monitored by IRT, clearly showed a different response of the samples treated with water-repellent treatments, proving their efficiency. Samples treated with organosilicic compounds showed a large and rapid drop in apparent surface temperature, indicating that water accesses rapidly. Results from the evaporation test also show this difference. The surface apparent temperature increased immediately in samples with water-repellent treatments, in which water does not enter inside stone, but remains on the surface. Samples with ethyl silicate, again, show a greater difference with respect to untreated samples, taking longer to recover surface apparent temperature, because the water is retained inside the stone for longer. This study proved simplified time-sequential IRT as a reliable technique for assessing the efficacy of conservation treatments applied to stone materials in laboratory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the material from the cremation tomb of a medical doctor dating from the second half of the 1st century AD discovered in the necropolis of Colonia Iulia Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Spain). The tomb contained a set of medical instruments as well as tokens that could have belonged to a board game. What could be the possible links between play and medicine and what symbolic and social value was associated with them? In Mérida, several archaeological remains witness the importance of ludic culture in the city and its region, but the presence of tokens in a funerary context raises the question of their possible function in funerary rituals.

This article analyzes the daily and social experience of a group of gay-men, lifestyle migrants, in the city of Mérida, Yucatán (Mexico), to determine if they face discrimination or if they live in a city that can be considered gay-friendly. Through the concept of lifestyle migration and with the support of semi-structured interviews and field observations in the historic center of the city, the contrasting aspects of Mérida in terms of acceptance of the LGBTQ+ population are studied. It is conclude that, for the study group, the city is openly gay-friendly with factors such as their purchasing power and foreigner status contributing to their acceptance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is devoted to the history of preservation of the archaeological monuments of the city of Mérida that keep the memory of the former greatness of the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania. The Archaeological Museum of Merida was founded under the Royal Decree of 1836. Subsequently, it transformed from a small collection of local artworks into the National Museum of Roman Art, i.e., it was recognized and declared as being of national importance. On July 10, 1975, the Royal Decree was adopted to open the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida. The latter became the first museum to receive the national status outside the Spanish capital of Madrid. Its collections and activities revolve around the Roman period, to which a permanent exhibition in a new specially designed building is dedicated. The Visigothic collection is housed in a separate building of the Santa Clara Church, for which a new exhibition space is currently being planned. The history of the museum’s collections is inseparable from the work of people who made a great contribution both to the replenishment of the funds and to the evolution of the exposition discourse. The museum has embarked on a rich research program to study and popularize Roman history and culture. By continuing as the National Center for the Study of the Roman World, it remains true to the original research task. Therefore, the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida can be defined as the largest cultural center of all aspects of the daily life of Augusta Emerita, one of the main cities on the western border of the Roman Empire.

Presentamos el resultado del estudio de los materiales numismáticos depositados en los fondos del Consorcio de la Ciudad Monumental, Histórico-Artística y Arqueológica de Mérida, hallados en contexto arqueológico emiral (92-300/711-912), en el actual término municipal emeritense. En él, ponemos en relación estas piezas con su contexto arqueológico e histórico, analizamos datos sobre su tipología y cantidad, la presencia o ausencia de moneda romana y visigoda, y usos no habituales de las monedas. Finalmente, comparamos los datos obtenidos con el registro numismático de yacimientos coetáneos como Tolmo de Minateda (Albacete), Vega Baja (Toledo) o Šaqunda (Córdoba), importantes casos de estudio en la Península Ibérica para los siglos VIII-IX. El objetivo final es vislumbrar el uso, en diversos espacios, del material numismático hallado en dicho horizonte arqueológico, así como un patrón monetario que relacione el tipo de control del territorio y el asentamiento de población durante la conquista omeya de al-Andalus.

Se realiza en estas páginas un estudio historiográfico del hallazgo en 1834 del mosaico de temática nilótica conocido como Mosaico de la Casa del Mithreo, una de las piezas fundacionales de la colección del actual Museo Nacional de Arte Romano de Mérida, así como de las pinturas murales que junto a él aparecieron. Igualmente, se analiza la validez actual de dicha documentación para el estudio de la urbanística emeritense.

Las formas en las que la racialización atraviesa las cotidianidades, y por lo tanto las formas de analizar el racismo y los fenómenos sociales relacionados con la categoría raza, varían dependiendo del contexto. En esta reseña, Angie Campos y Jorge Rafael indagan la propuesta de Eugenia Iturriaga de teorizar antropológicamente el racismo en Yucatán, partiendo de un estudio de las élites meridianas con una metodología en suma interesante.

Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of house screening (HS) on indoor Aedes aegypti infestation, abundance and arboviral infection in Merida, Mexico. Methods: In 2019, we performed a cluster randomised controlled trial (6 control and 6 intervention areas: 100 households/area). Intervention clusters received permanently fixed fiberglass HS on all windows and doors. The study included two cross‐sectional entomologic surveys, one baseline (dry season in May 2019) and one post‐intervention (PI, rainy season between September and October 2019). The presence and number of indoor Aedes females and blood‐fed females (indoor mosquito infestation) as well as arboviral infections with dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses were evaluated in a subsample of 30 houses within each cluster. Results: HS houses had significantly lower risk for having Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes (odds ratio [OR] = 0.56, 95% CI 0.33–0.97, p = 0.04) and blood‐fed females (OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.28–0.97, p = 0.04) than unscreened households from the control arm. Compared to control houses, HS houses had significantly lower indoor Ae. aegypti abundance (rate ratio [RR] = 0.50, 95% CI 0.30–0.83, p = 0.01), blood‐fed Ae. aegypti females (RR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.27–0.85, p = 0.01) and female Ae. aegypti positive for arboviruses (OR = 0.29, 95% CI 0.10–0.86, p = 0.02). The estimated intervention efficacy in reducing Ae. aegypti arbovirus infection was 71%. Conclusions: These results provide evidence supporting the use of HS as an effective pesticide‐free method to control house infestations with Aedes aegypti and reduce the transmission of Aedes‐transmitted viruses such as DENV, chikungunya (CHIKV) and ZIKV.

Amongst the many achievements of Peter Brown may be included the ways in which he has taught us to understand and value the testimony of the Saints Lives and other hagiographic texts of Late Antiquity that often seemed baffling to scholars of earlier generations. On the other hand, sa small number of these hagiographic texts can appear so transparently historical in the nature and details of their content, as not to seem in need of such careful interpretation. In the western Mediterranean the Vitas Sanctorum Patrum Emeretensium is an outstanding example of such a work, that has been used to throw light on a range of topics, from medicine to architecture, beyond the confines of the events in later sixth century Mérida that it describes, and largely without raising any questions as to the reliability of its narrative. However, when this can be compared with that provided by other, more clearly contemporary historiographical sources, its account usually proves to be erroneous or misleading. This article reopens questions long thought closed, or which have been ignored, as to the origins, nature and purpose of the work, so as to enable the strengths and weaknesses of its evidence be better understood.

T’hó –a Mayan city cited in historical documents – has been discovered and is now a topic in current archaeological discussions and research topics due to a joint UNAM and UADY research project. This project encompassed several steps, including the recording of material recovered from the city’s subsoil while monitoring urban infrastructure programs, as well as the study of historical documents and maps and finally verifying hypothesis by using georadar. After surveying almost 17 km of paved streets in downtown Merida, we realized that it was possible to recognize three main deposit layers underlying the area. The uppermost layer showed modern fillings and urban infrastructure, the intermediate layer had pre-Hispanic cultural remains, and the deepest one included limestone bedrock. This study constitutes the first attempt to create a map of the remains underlying downtown Merida City in order to know and preserve its archaeological patrimony.

En este trabajo realizamos una investigación sobre la elisión de la /d/ intervocálica en la comarca de Mérida (Badajoz). A partir de la comparación entre dos áreas lingüísticas, una urbana, Mérida, y otra rural, compuesta por trece localidades cercanas a la capital, analizaremos cuál es la extensión de este fenómeno. Aunque la elisión de la dental es una variante predominante en nuestro corpus dado que Mérida se encuentra en la zona innovadora del español europeo, esta elisión no es sistemática. En este trabajo analizaremos qué factores lingüísticos (contexto vocálico, acento, funcionalidad) y extralingüísticos (sexo, edad, nivel de instrucción) influyen en el mantenimiento o la pérdida del sonido.

By examining the Latin inscription of Rabbi Iacob of Mérida (Lusitania, Spain) on the basis of historical and philological arguments we can establish its dating to the early eighth century, after the Arab invasion. This would confirm the survival of sages who had a leading role in the religious life of Jewish or formerly converted Jewish communities able to clandestinely maintain and preserve their ancestral beliefs. RebbiIacob, the son of the rebbiSenior is mentioned in the inscription; it is possible that both were "masters of the Law." It is likely that they chose to practice their teachings orally due to the ban on the production and reading of all kinds of Jewish written works in the Visigothic kingdom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lime kilns excavated in the Mayan area may be considered suitable artifacts for archaeomagnetic studies because the production process generally requires temperatures higher than 700 °C. This fact guarantees that the walls and floors of the furnaces carry the stable thermoremanent magnetization acquired during the cooling from high temperatures during its last use. 12 of a total of 17 samples, collected and oriented in situ inside the furnace located in Sitpach, Merida were thermally demagnetized in order to obtain their characteristic archeodirections (declination and inclination). The site-mean direction was determined based on 7 samples with greater clustering. Archaeomagnetic dating yielded two possible intervals: 267-671 AD and 1279-1455 AD. Based on relative chronological considerations of the area, the second interval seems more feasible. This new absolute chronological contribution, together with those previously reported, indicates the continuity and permanence of pyrotechnological knowledge in the Maya area from 900 to at least 1600 AD, including the beginning of the colonial period, in which some furnaces, probably built before the Spanish conquest, were reactivated.

Background Malaria is expanding rapidly across Venezuela, spreading outwards from traditional high transmission regions in the southeast of the country, but the lack of official data make it impossible to understand the reasons for this expansion and to estimate its real magnitude. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics driving the re-emergence of malaria in Mérida, a state in the west of Venezuela, where no cases have been reported since 2003, and also to study the clinical presentation of the disease in patients presenting with malaria. Methods Thirty-three patients who presented with anemia and fever and with a microscopic diagnosis of malaria were examined and interviewed. Data were collected in standardized forms and analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used to study differences among patients infected with different parasites. Results Twenty-two patients were from the Zulia state and eleven were from the Mérida state, mainly from the lowlands south of Lake Maracaibo. Six of these patients traveled to the Bolívar state between 2017 and 2019. Thirteen patients presented with the WHO criteria for severe malaria. Conclusions: Domestic migration to the southeast of Venezuela may have played an important role in the expansion of malaria in previously existing endemic areas of transmission and also in the increase in the number of cases of severe malaria.
