RESUMEN: Este ensayo explora cómo en el cómic episdódico Drako de Gades (Antonio Hernández Palacios, 1984-1991) se nos presenta un mundo extraído de los libros de caballería medievales con origen en la tradición artúrica de los caballeros andantes, al que se añade las fuentes mitológicas de las sagas nórdicas y otros seres típicos de las culturas mediterráneas y orientales para recrear numerosas bestias y algunos personajes fantásticos. Se pretende mostrar cómo Drako de Gades aspira a ser un cómic de fantasía caballeresca medieval, por la manera en que reúne, acumula y superpone toda una serie de personajes asociados al género, a modo de pastiche o remezcla. Un pastiche que, mediante el uso del humor, convierte alguno de los episodios en parodia posmoderna, con una intención lúdica de recrear el universo literario de la caballería medieval. ABSTRACT: This essay explores how in the comic series Drako de Gades (by Antonio Hernández Palacios, 1984-1991) the reader enjoys a world extracted from medieval chivalric books originated in the Arthurian tradition, to which mythological sources related to the Nordic sagas and other typical beings of the Mediterranean and Eastern cultures are added to recreate numerous beasts and some fantastic characters. This paper shows how Drako de Gades aspires to be a medieval chivalric fantasy comic, and is able to do it because it gathers, accumulates and superimposes a whole series of characters associated with the genre, as a pastiche or remix. A pastiche that, through the use of humor, turns some of the episodes into a postmodern parody with a playful intention of recreating the literary universe of medieval chivalry.

Abstract. Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials have shown that subjects following the Mediterranean diet had lower inflammatory markers such as homocysteine (Hcy). Therefore, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess female diet quality with the Mediterranean diet quality index (MDQI) and to determine the correlation between MDQI, homocysteine, folate and vitamin B12 levels in the blood. The study participants were 237 apparently healthy women (96 of reproductive age and 141 postmenopausal) between 25 and 93 years. For each participant, 24-hour dietary recalls for 3 days were collected, MDQI was calculated, and plasma Hcy, serum and erythrocyte folate and vitamin B12 levels were analysed. Total MDQI ranged from 8 to 10 points, which represented a medium-poor diet for the subjects. The strength of correlation using biomarkers, regardless of group type, age, gender and other measured parameters, was ranked from best (0.11) to worst (0.52) for olive oil, fish, fruits and vegetables, grains, and meat, in this order. Hcy levels showed the best response among all markers across all groups and food types. Our study shows significant differences between variables of the MDQI and Hcy levels compared to levels of folate and vitamin B12 in participants with medium-poor diet quality, as evaluated according to MDQI scores.

Abstract. Ever since Fredrickson and Roberts (1997) proposed objectification theory, research on self-objectification and – by extension – other-objectification has experienced a considerable expansion. However, most of the studies on sexual objectification have been conducted solely in Western populations. This study investigates whether the effect of target sexualization on social perception differs as a function of culture (Western vs. Eastern). Specifically, we asked a Western sample (Belgian, N = 62) and a Southeast Asian sample (Thai, N = 98) to rate sexualized versus nonsexualized targets. We found that sexual objectification results in dehumanization in both Western (Belgium) and Eastern (Thailand) cultures. Specifically, participants from both countries attributed less competence and less agency to sexualized than to nonsexualized targets, and they reported that they would administer more intense pain to sexualized than to nonsexualized targets. Thus, building on past research, this study suggests that the effect of target sexualization on dehumanization is a more general rather than a culture-specific phenomenon.
