Factor de impacto nacional e internacional de ANALES DE PEDIATRÍA

The aim of this study was to present bibliometric indicators of the impact of Anales de Pediatría in 2001 and to compare this journal with other Spanish pediatrics journals. A total of 5,388 bibliographic references from 1999, 2000 and 2001 corresponding to citable articles published in 2001 in a sample of 87 selected Spanish medical journals were analyzed. The indicators obtained were the number of citations, the national and international impact factor (IF) and the immediacy index. The national IF of Anales de Pediatría was 0.334 and the international IF was 0.372. The immediacy index was 0.111. This study confirms the leadership of Anales de Pediatría, since this journal is the most frequently cited Spanish pediatrics journal and has the highest IF and immediacy index. The bibliometric indicators obtained are comparable with those observed in other journals included in Journal Citation Reports.

El destino de las revistas científicas nacionales. El caso español a través de un muestra (1950-90)

The aim of the present work was to analyse the evolution of Spanish scientific journals in the fields of experimental sciences and medicine from the viewpoint of what might be called their appeal to the national and international research community, to determine to what degree these journals are or are ceasing to be a valued or attractive channel of communication for the said researchers. To this end, we studied the changes that a sample of Spanish scientific journals have undergone over the last 40 years. The journals were: Anales de Fisica, Anales de Quimica, Estudios Geologicos, Medicina Clinica, Revista Espanola de Fisiologia and Revista Iberoamericana de Matematicas. They cover all the traditional academic fields except Biology, and were considered to be the most representative of their respective specialities. The aspects analysed were: productive capacity, affiliation, and the authors’ national origins. We considered these to be particularly sensitive to the image and appeal of the journals for their respective communities: changes in these aspects would reflect the role and importance that researchers attribute to the journal. Three tri-annual sequences were studied from the decades of the 50’s, 70’s, and 90’s. The results show: a process of rise and fall of the productive capacity; a successive leadership, in terms of number of articles, with affiliations first in the CSIC (the Government Research Council) and later in the Universities; and lastly a growing presence of foreign authors, especially from Europe and Latin America which partially compensates the reduction in Spanish authors. Some possible causes of these changes are indicated. The issue of the survival of these journals is discussed in the Conclusions.

Two Plays from One Source: La Fianza Satisfecha and El Martir de Madrid

TWO PLAYS FROM ONE SOURCE: LA FIANZA SATISFECHA AND EL MÁRTIR DE MADRID Vern G. Williamsen, University of Missouri and Henry A. Linares, Northern State College As studies of Mira de Amescua's theater have become available in recent years, some interesting facts and relationships have come to light. One of these is the obvious kinship existing between Lope de Vega's La fianza satisfecha and Mira's El mártir de Madrid. Lope's play has been the subject of a series of studies and editions; Mira's work, like much else in his theater, remains essentially unknown.1 Because no one has reported the identical nature of the material from which these two plays were built, the search for the source of Lope's comedia continues to bear uncertain fruit even after Mira's source has been successfully identified by José María Bella. The undeniable relationship of the two plays might well tempt one to write about "influences " if only the order of composition for the plays could be more precisely determined.2 Of even more interest, however, is a study of the quite different literary effects achieved by the two poets as they brought the same story to the stage. I. The Rehtionship of the Phys to Their Sources Both plays tell of a young man who turns violently on his family, leaves home, and fights with a band of raiding Moorish pirates. He then decides to renege, committing the gravest of his many sins, denying Christ. He serves the Moorish king, even to the point of imprisoning his own family when he is followed to Morocco by his father. He is courted by a beautiful Moorish princess but refuses her enticements preferring the illicit charms of his own sister (sister-in-law). He attempts to escape, is recaptured, and undergoes a sudden re-conversion. The King orders him put to death. He delivers a moving oration and call to repent, and dies as a Christian martyr. The other Christians ask for and receive his body so that it may be given proper burial. Quite obviously, both La fianza satisfecha and El mártir de Madrid belong to that remarkable genre, the saintlybandit plays that were so popular, as pointed out by Alexander A. Parker, during the first third of the Seventeenth Century.3 As William Whitby and Robert Anderson have indicated in their edition of La fianza (pp. 59-64), these plays have a peculiar fascination for the present age as well. The editors find literary precedents, if not true sources, for La fianza in such works as Mira's El esclavo del demonio (as an early saintly-bandit comedia), Tirso's El condenado por desconfiado (comparing Leonido's bragging speech with that of Tirso's Enrico ) , and a descendant , if not a precedent, in Calderón's La devoción de la Cruz (for the completely evil nature of the protagonist). Except that we now know Mira's play to deal with the story of a contemporary martyr, we might still be searching among such literary materials for the source from which it, and possibly La fianza as well, grew. J. M. Bella has shown that the ultimate source for Mira's play is found in 81 the story of the "Martirio de Pedro, natural de Madrid en Marruecos," an event that took place in the year 1580. Bella reports Mira's source to have been the Segunda parte de la Historia general del Mundo, de XI años del tiempo del señor Rey don Felipe II el Prudente, desde el año MDLXXV hasta el de MDLXXXV by Antonio de Herrera Tordesillas (Madrid: Pedro Madrigal , 1601, pp. 280-81). Herreras work, however, could not have been the source consulted by Mira because he includes, in his rendering of the story, factual elements not contained in Herrera 's history. Data missing from that account are found, for example in the Anales de Madrid desde el año de 447 al de 1658 of Antonio de León Pinelo (ed. Pedro Fernández, Martín, Madrid: Instituto de Estudios Madrileños, 1951, pp. 125-26). Among these details are: ( 1 ) The month of...

The Presence of Mayan Literature in "Hombres de Maiz" and Other Works by Miguel Angel Asturias

tive involvement in Indian (specifically Mayan) literature, though his work is commonly praised for its original American qualities.1 By a familiar irony Asturias first encountered Indian literature in Europe, when he worked with Georges Raynaud in the 1920s on a number of texts, among them the Annals of the Cakchiquels and the Popol Vuh of their near relations the Quiche. His Spanish translations of these books both appeared in 1927 as Anales de los Xahil de los indios cakchiqueles de Guatemala and El libro del consejo. They were both annotated in a way that indicates concentrated focus. His own first work of fiction, Leyendas de Guatemala (1932), bears marks of just such a focus, being replete with references to the Indian books he was reading at the time. Once established this Mayan dimension stayed there: through Hombres de miaiz (1949) to works like Clarivigilia primaveral (1965) and Mulata de tal (1963) of the last decade. The nature of his Indian commitment has however varied signally.

Mulata de tal: The Novel as Animated Cartoon

MIGUEL Angel Asturias' Mulata de tal (1963) is what Spanish1 speaking critics are given to calling a novela-hiperbole, and it must be treated as such. No respectable critical approach to this novel has yet been found, which is partly why so little has been written about it, and yet its intrinsic interest and its importance for an understanding of Asturias' literary development are unmistakable. No critic has made any serious effort to discuss the pre-Columbian background to Asturias' fiction, which, despite certain interpretations relying on Greek and Babylonian mythology, would seem the only sound approach. Indeed, as far as Mulata de tal is concerned, there can be no question that influences are largely preColumbian and wholly American.l There are innumerable elements on almost every page which are familiar to anyone who has read the Popol Vuh, the Anales de los Xahil, or El libro de los libros de Chilam Balam. The real problem is to decide exactly where each element comes from, what it represented to the Mayas (or, in the case of contemporary material, what it represents to their descendants)., and

The Phonemes of an Araucanian Dialect

1 Araucanian is a native Southamerican language spoken by about 200,000 people in Chili, and by an only roughly calculated but far lesser number of speakers in Argentina (more or less 8,000). They are concentrated chiefly in the provinces of Bio-Bio, Malleco, and Cautin (Chile), and in the province of Neuqu6n in Argentina. 2 Rodolfo Lenz, Estudios Araucanos, Santiago de Chile, 1895-1897 (reprint with different paging from Anales de la Universidad de Chile, vols. 9098, 1895-1897. I quote from the reprint). I have made use of Lenz's other studies on the Araucanian language, especially the one appeared in Biblioteca de Dialectologia Hispanoamericana 6.234244 (Buenos Aires, 1940). Lenz was a distinguished phonetician; for data on his scholarship see Amado Alonso, Biblioteca de Dialectologia Hispanoamericana 6.269-278. 3 Lenz recognizes among the Araucanians from Chili four linguistic groups: Picunche, Huiliche, Pehuenche, and Moluche. This division agrees with the tribal classification by John M. Cooper in Handbook of Southamerican Indians 2.690 (1946), where the Moluche is called Mapuche. But since the differences between Pehuenche and Moluche are small, and only lexical, Lenz seems to consider them as two subdivisions of the same dialect (cf. 0.2. The corpus consists of 345 rather brief utterances in conversational form, 37 traditional tales, 7 descriptive narratives, and 15 songs. The transcription is phonetic. Each symbol is in general accurately and unambiguously explained, except perhaps a couple of them that need some interpretation as to their exact phonetic value.4 Lenz was consciously aware, in most cases, of free and conditioned variants-physiological, and phonetically conditioned variants, in his own terms-so that an approximate phonemic analysis of segmental phonemes is already implicit in his remarks. Nevertheless, the phonemic status of certain sounds remains somewhat dubious owing chiefly, I believe, to two circumstances: (1) sounds of low frequency, and morphemes of few occurrences seem not to have been sufficiently rechecked; (2) the transcription reflects, rather undiscriminately, incidental forms of careless speech, and divergencies in pronunciation probably due exclusively to differences in tempo. The latter will probably have to be treated as morphophonemic alternations, so that ultimately they cannot affect the phonemic analysis. More regrettable is the fact that features of stress, intonation, and juncture are either entirely disregarded or not satisfactorily described. 0.3. The present paper attempts to supply an explicit and more consistent phonemic formulation of Lenz's materials. Given the

Indigo Production and Trade in Colonial Guatemala

RHE PROBLEM of an export economy-the dependence of an underdeveloped region upon unstable markets for a staple raw material-is not new.1 While Europe's monetary needs made the precious metals the chief medium of external payments for parts of the Empire, some Spanish colonies lacked significant mineral resources. Such was the case of Guatemala. In the formative years of the captaincy-general cacao beans provided a currency as well as a means of balancing interregional payments, but after the sixteenth century exports of indigo financed the bulk of Guatemala's import trade. At the peak, two million pesos' worth of indigo left the kingdom annually. A decline in output set in toward the end of the eighteenth century. After independence, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala continued to produce indigo in commercial quantities, although the rise of synthetic colors left only a dwindling market for vegetable dyes. Meanwhile, coffee became the mainstay of international trade in all the Central American republics. Natural indigo (atil) is a dyestuff extracted from the leaves of indigofera, of which Linnaeus identified four species. By the nineteenth century botanists had counted over 140 indigoferous plants, widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical areas.2 In colonial Guatemala the main source of indigo was xiquilite (indigof erd tinctoria). The properties of this plant were known to the Mayans; and in 1558 the Spanish crown asked the colonial government for samples of together with an account of the methods employed by the natives in growing the plant, extracting the dye, and dyeing.3 * The author is professor of economics in Duke University.

Problems of Colonization

UNDER the title "Ideas Sobre Los Fundamentos Bioclimaticos Y Biogeographicos Para Una Colonizacion Europea", in De Gœa, Anales de la Sociedad Argentina de Estudios Geográficos (7, 99–111), Walter Knoche sets forth a number of important points to be observed if colonization is to be a success. As a general principle, it is laid down that woods and forests should be protected, as they are valuable in preserving the climate, to say nothing of their aesthetic value and their use to future generations in preventing the spread of steppe and desert.

Man's Influence on Seismic Movements

WALTER KNOCHE has an article with the title "La Accion Humana Como Una Causa Posible De Liberar Movimientos Sismicos"in Anales de la Sociedad Cientifica Argentina (135, Ent. IV and V, 1–41; 1943) which suggests a number of ways in which the progress of civilization can influence earth movements. A few of these will be referred to in the following brief summary. The weight of matter transported by the great rivers and deposited at their mouths depends on the denudation which takes place, and this, in turn, depends on the nature of the soil, the presence of vegetation, and other factors which are under the control of man. Variations in isostasy in the deltas of rivers as well as in the regions of denudation are, therefore, indirectly due to human agency. Then again it is pointed out that oscillations in the earth's axis might be produced by the displacements of matter through fluvial transportation, and this latter depends on man's interference with the vegetation. Another important factor is fires which destroy vegetation and so release a considerable weight over certain parts of the earth's crust. The loss of weight on land appears as an increase in the oceans, which receive a great portion of the burnt vegetation in the form of carbon and water. The weight of great cities with their inhabitants, such as San Francisco and Tokyo, is able to originate earth movements, more especially in those regions of the earth where there is a certain amount of instability. It seems possible to conduct research on the influence of re-afforestation in mitigating the danger of denudation and devastation on the earth's surface, and in this way to estimate the extent of the human factor in the production of earth disturbances.

Anales de Radiologia

True to Cuban medical traditions, the comparatively small group of Cuban radiologists are the proud publishers of the only radiological review in the Spanish language, Anales de Radiologia, official organ of the Sociedad Cubana de Radiologia y Fisioterapia. It is handsomely printed, classically written, and generously illustrated. In many an article, the author backs up his academic dissertation by the practical procedure of case presentation, thus giving his essay the seal of originality. The writer feels that Anales de Radiologia is a publication capable of honoring any radiological organization, of any size, many language. Radiology, through the undersigned, wishes to acknowledge, with thanks, the salutation of the Executive Committee of the Sociedad Cubana de Radiologia y Fisioterapia, appearing in the first number of Anales de Radiologia, and hopes for their splendid publication a long and prosperous life.

The Chilian Folk-Lore Society and Recent Publications on Chilian Folk-Lore, etc.

As far back as 1905, Dr. Rodolfo Lenz, of Santiago, well-known philologist and ethnologist, sought to organize study of Chilian folk-lore by formation of a Comisi6n de Folklore and publication (first as an Appendix to Anales de la Universidad de Chile, and then reprinted as separates) of a Revista de Folklore Chileno. The idea was set forth, with a syllabus of subjects to be investigated, in Dr. Lenz's Ensayo de Programa para Estudios de Folklore Chileno (Santiago, 1905, 12 p.). In this Programa, rubrics of which were confined technically to Spanish Chilians, although, as author remarked (p. 5), study of that folk-lore is largely impossible without a knowledge of folk-lore of Indian population, following topics for investigation were enumerated: folk-literature in poetry and prose, music and dancing, plastic and ornamental arts, customs and beliefs, folk-speech, etc. Under these larger headings were listed numerous subdivisions, among more interesting of which were myths and legends, tales of monsters (such as huallipenes, nirivilo, chueiquehueczi, calchona, camahueto, imbunches, caleuche, cueros or mantas, etc.) and humorous tales (e. g., Pedro Urdemales); religious feasts and festivals (such as various festivals of Nativity, Easter, Holy Week, etc.; festival of Virgin of Andacolla; festival of San Pedro in Talcahuano, and others relating to sailors and fishermen); children's plays and games (like chapitas or pallalla, rayuela, luche, chincol, cututun-peuco, etc., with their accompanying songs, etc.); games of adults (such as chueca, cancha de bolas, naipes, cacho, maraca, etc.); folk-food and cookery, lore relating to Chilian plants (maiz, papa, porotos, zapallo, cochayuyo, luche, etc.; preparations of charqui, chuchoca, chuto, etc.; national drinks and beverages, particularly various chichas; stimulants, such as tabaco, coca, latter in northern provinces); folk-medicine; etc. Of special interest to folk-lorist is study of process of Chilianizing of Indians, which has now been going on for so long a time; also effect of contact of races upon language, habits, etc., of population of European descent. This proposal of I905 really belongs in 1894, when Dr. Lenz, in an article contributed to Anales de la Universidad de Chile, with title of Ensayos filol6jicos americanos II, suggested something quite similar. On x 8th of July, 1i909, when was founded the Chil-

On the Geology of Malaga and the Southern Part of Andalusia

Introduction. —The south coast of Spain has been frequently the subject of geological description; but many most essential points have hitherto been left unnoticed, and the general relations of the different groups of rocks, as well as the special characteristics of the various deposits, still remain very imperfectly known, although they are likely to prove of sufficient importance to justify a complete revision of the existing views concerning the geology of the western part of the Mediterranean. I propose in the present memoir to give the result of a somewhat minute investigation in various parts of the district, dwelling particularly on the rocks in the neighbourhood of Malaga, where I first obtained the clue that seems likely to clear up the difficulties and obscurities hitherto felt with regard to other parts. The Spanish geologists who have described the tract of country under consideration are (1) Don Ramon Pellico and Don Amalio Maester, in a memoir in the second volume of the ‘Anales de Minas’ of Madrid, 1841; (2) Don Amalio Maestre in the ‘Revista Minera’ of Madrid; and (3) Don Antonio Linera, the present Inspector of Mines of the province of Malaga, in the same publication (vol. ii. pp. 161 &amp; 193). There is also a notice of the geology of the neighbourhood of the town by Don Pablo Prolongo, published in the ‘Topografia Medica’ of Dr. Martinez, and dated 1852. Some notice of particular points in the immediate vicinity of Malaga will be found in the ‘Bulletin de la Société
