La técnica release y contact-improvisation: Dos aportaciones de la danza posmoderna americana bajo el paradigma investigativo
No full textSurgidas durante la revolución de la danza posmoderna americana, la técnica release y el contact-improvisation fueron gestadas y se desarrollaron como procesos de aprendizaje basados en la investigación. Estas representaron un cuestionamiento a las dimensiones tradicionales del aprendizaje de danza y significó, tanto el descubrimiento de los principios de la técnica corporal a través de la comprensión de las leyes físicas en relación al movimiento y la anatomía de cada cuerpo, como la implicación creativa y personal del bailarín. Estas técnicas promueven una transformación en la manera de pensar el movimiento, que a su vez se convierte en una manera de generar pensamiento sobre el cuerpo, el compromiso personal y la visión social del arte de la danza. El propósito de este artículo es facilitar una contextualización teórica de los fundamentos humanistas y pedagógicos de las técnicas posmodernas release y contact-improvisation. La metodología parte de la recopilación bibliográfica y del análisis crítico que comienza con la consideración teórica del paradigma investigador y desciende hasta los estilos docentes bajo los cuales ambas técnicas se encuentran.; Emerging during the American post-modern dance revolution, release technique and contact-improvisation were conceived and developed as research-based learning processes. They represented a questioning of the traditional dimensions of dance learning that involved both the discovery of the principles of body technique through an understanding of the laws of physics in relation to movement and the anatomy of each body, and the creative and personal involvement of the dancer. These techniques promote a transformation in the way of thinking movement, which in turn becomes a way of generating thought about the body, personal engagement and the social vision of the art of dance. The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical contextualisation of the humanistic and pedagogical foundations of postmodern release and contact-improvisation techniques. The methodology is based on a bibliographical compilation and critical analysis that begins with a theoretical consideration of the research paradigm and moves down to the teaching styles under which both techniques are found
Shooting the Messenger? Harassment and Hate Speech Directed at Journalists on Social Media
No full textJournalists have incorporated social networks into their work as a standard tool, enhancing their ability to produce and disseminate information and making it easier for them to connect more directly with their audiences. However, this greater presence in the digital public sphere has also increased their exposure to harassment and hate speech, particularly in the case of women journalists. This study analyzes the presence of harassment and hate speech in responses (n = 60,684) to messages that 200 journalists and media outlets posted on X (formerly Twitter) accounts during the days immediately preceding and following the July 23 (23-J) general elections held in Spain in 2023. The results indicate that the most common forms of harassment were insults and political hate, which were more frequently aimed at personal accounts than institutional ones, highlighting the significant role of political polarization—particularly during election periods—in shaping the hostility that journalists face. Moreover, although, generally speaking, the total number of harassing messages was similar for men and women, it was found that a greater number of sexist messages were aimed at women journalists, and an ideological dimension was identified in the hate speech that extremists or right-wing populists directed at them. This study corroborates that this is a minor but systemic issue, particularly from a political and gender perspective. To counteract this, the media must develop proactive policies and protective actions extending even to the individual level, where this issue usually applies

Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado ha explorado dicho valor enmarcado en el contexto de la Educación Primaria, mediante la propuesta de un material didáctico innovador. A partir del análisis cualitativo de veinte cuentos populares vascos recopilados por Juan Kruz Igerabide, se ha diseñado un material de lectura a modo de álbum de cromos, dirigido a un grupo destinatario de entre 6 y 9 años. El mismo, en línea con el ODS 18, pretende promover el desarrollo de la identidad cultural y la lectura mediante el uso del euskera como lengua vehicular. A pesar de no haber sido implementado en un contexto educativo real, los resultados sugieren su potencial para fortalecer la identidad cultural, el interés por el patrimonio y el uso significativo del euskera.[EN] Popular literature is an educational resource with great didactic potential. This Final Degree Project has explored this value in the context of primary education by proposing an innovative teaching material. Based on a qualitative analysis of twenty Basque folk tales compiled by Juan Kruz Igerabide, reading material in the form of a sticker album has been designed for a target group aged between 6 and 9 years old. In line with SDG 18, it aims to promote the development of cultural identity and reading through the use of Basque as the language of instruction. Although it has not been implemented in a real educational context, the results suggest its potential to strengthen cultural identity, interest in heritage and the meaningful use of Basque
Global patterns of colouration complexity in the Paridae: Effects of climate and species characteristics across body regions
No full text1. Avian plumage colouration is an iconic example of trait variability among species. Sexual, social and natural selection, and the environmental variables modulating them are the main drivers of this variability.
2. So far, most research exploring environmental effects on the variability of plumage colouration has focused on the variation in overall plumage darkness. Research on other aspects of colour variation, such as the diversity of colours exhibited by a species (i.e. colour complexity), is limited and has produced inconsistent results. Furthermore, colour complexity has mostly been analysed at the whole-plumage level, despite the possibility that the colour complexity of different plumage patches may be sensitive to different environmental factors.
3. Here, we quantify male and female colouration in 58 species of the family Paridae, and use multi-predictor Bayesian phylogenetic mixed models to estimate the relationship of colouration with biotic and climatic variables that quantify environment, and with several species-specific characteristics. We consider both the colouration of the whole plumage and the colouration of four separate colour patches (head, chest, back and wing).
4. We find that Paridae species in climates with intermediate temperatures present more complex colouration than do species in warmer/colder climates. In addition, males, relatively small species, and species with relatively greater sexual dichromatism have more complex plumage colouration. We find that the numbers of predators and sympatric conspecifics are more associated with female colouration than with male colouration. Finally, the strength of the associations with colour complexity is specific to each plumage region: species recognition, beak size and climate variables related to competition for reproductive resources (i.e. precipitation seasonality) are more strongly associated with colouration complexity of the head and breast than with that of the back and wing.
5. Overall, our results illustrate the importance of climatic and social variables, the link between colour complexity and dichromatism in both sexes, and the analysis of distinct plumage areas for understanding global patterns of colouration complexity and the processes that promote them.We thank H. van Grouw, M. Adams and A. Bond from the Bird Group at the Natural History Museum at Tring for providing access to and expertise in the collection used in this study. We also thank A. Estrada, D. G\u00F3mez, E.

Tracking the Material History Through the Analysis of Past and Present Alterations and Restorations. Application to Doors and Walls of the Museum Najerillense (La Rioja, Spain)
No full text[ES] Los elementos patrimoniales son entidades vivas cuya historia es habitualmente legible en sus superficies a través de diferentes tipos de alteraciones (manchas, desgastes, grafiti, erosión, etc.). La disciplina de la conservación-restauración tiene por objeto preservar la materialidad de estos elementos y presentarlos a los usuarios de una manera adecuada, pero también es consciente del interés histórico de algunas de estas alteraciones por lo que no pueden ser simplemente eliminadas sin una previa documentación. Con este punto de partida, el presente trabajo compara los patrones de deterioro en diferentes elementos de un edificio (museo regional de arqueología y etnografía de Nájera, en La Rioja, España) con el fin de generar una metodología de trabajo que permita establecer la historia material de estos elementos. Dado que son varias las alteraciones que tienes efecto en la geometría 3D de las superficies y su textura, es posible analizarlas mediante productos obtenidos con procesos de documentación geométrica. El texto presenta una metodología estructurada en cuatro fases y presenta algunas conclusiones sobre el potencial de este enfoque.[EN] Elements of cultural heritage are living entities with a history that is sometimes marked on its surface by means of different types of alterations (stains, wearing, graffiti, erosion, etc.). The discipline of conservation-restoration aims to preserve the materiality of these elements and presents them to users in a suitable manner; but it is also aware of the historic interest of some of these alterations and, consequently they cannot be just erased without being documented and explained. This is precisely the starting point of the present contribution, where the comparison of decay patterns in different elements of a building —the regional museum of archaeology and ethnography of Najera (La Rioja, Spain)— is explored as a complementary methodology to analyse the material history of the building. As many of these alterations have influence in the three-dimensional geometry of the surfaces and the texture, they can be monitored by means of the products that are generated during the geometric documentation works. The text presents a methodology for the study structured in four stages and draws some conclusions about the potential of this approach.Instituto de Estudios Riojanos (IER), Gobierno de La Rioj

No full text246 p.Se diseñó un ensayo clínico aleatorizado, fase IV, abierto, de grupos paralelos en el que se comparó la utilización de dexmedetomidina con la práctica clínica habitual durante la ventilación mecánica no invasiva en pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda.Los resultados indicaron que el uso de dexmedetomidina en ventilación mecánica no invasiva generó una mayor satisfacción en los pacientes y evitó el dolor, sin generar mayor depresión respiratoria o hipotensión, ni mayor duración de la ventilación o de la estancia en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, ni mayor mortalidad.La utilización de dexmedetomidina no condujo a un aumento significativo de los costes
Connecting AGN to Host Galaxy Properties
No full text226 p.Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) have been established to be at the center of all massive galaxies.Some of these are known to be accreting matter from their host galaxies, dubbed as Active GalacticNuclei (AGN). It is now known that AGN and their host galaxies coevolve. However, a clear concisedoes not exist if this coevolution is causal or casual.This thesis explores the coevolution of these AGN and their host galaxies from largest to the smallestscales. First, utilizing data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, we compare the largescale environments of 205 Quasars at z < 0.35 against a robust Markov chain Monte Carlos (MCMC)sample of 205,000 inactive galaxies matched in terms of both stellar mass and redshift. The resultsassert that there is no significant difference between the environment of active and inactive galaxies,implying that stochastic processes are the dominant triggers of AGN at low redshift.Second, we compare the global and spatially resolved star formation rates (SFR) and specific starformation rates (sSFR) of AGN and non-AGN host galaxies. We compare the properties of 32 X-rayselected AGN using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton survey against amass matched control sample. Stellar masses and SFR are obtained by fitting Spectral EnergyDistributions (SED) of galaxies with 60 optical narrow-band multi-wavelength data from the miniJPASSurvey, which is a 1 deg2 preview of the upcoming Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated UniverseAstrophysical Survey (J-PAS) survey. Our results show that while there are no differences between theglobal properties of X-ray AGN and non-AGN host galaxies, their sSFR profiles exhibit the exactopposite trend. This suggests that X-ray AGN quench their host galaxies in the central regions, whilesimultaneously pushing gas to the outskirts of their host galaxy where star formation takes place, forexample by compression of gas due to positive feedback.Following up on the results of our X-ray AGN host galaxies, we examine the radial profiles of RadioAGN host galaxies in the third part of this thesis. We use 12 band optical data from the JavalambrePhotometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS), which is another prelude to the J-PAS survey covering3,192 deg2 of the northern sky. Then, we use data from the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) survey tocross-match and select a sample of 441 Radio AGN hosts in the J-PLUS field at z < 0.15 and comparetheir radial profiles against a Baldwin, Phillips & Terlevich (BPT) diagram selected star forming sample.The results corroborate our findings for X-ray AGN, which posit a radially increasing sSFR for RadioAGN host galaxies. This reaffirms the result that AGN quench their hosts in the center, while enhancingtheir sSFR on the outskirts of galaxies. Moreover, examining the M¿¿MBH scaling relation, we find thathighly star forming galaxies lie above scaling relation observed for local galaxies, whereas quenchedgalaxies like below the local relation, with the average Eddington rate (¿Edd) being~2%
José Antonio Ponte (1903-1969): Un arquitecto adaptable y versátil
No full textLa figura de José Antonio Ponte Picavea es clave para quien desee comprender la arquitectura guipuzcoana de mediados de siglo veinte. Alternó en sus primeros años lenguajes arquitectónicos varios: el moderno; no en vano formó parte del Grupo Norte del GATEPAC; el estilo vasco, o el ecléctico. Fue, por otra parte, clave en la reconstrucción de Gipuzkoa al término de la Guerra Civil española, puesto que en 1938 accedía a la Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas y Reparaciones y en 1941 se incorporaba a la Obra Sindical del Hogar. El presente artículo aporta nuevas claves sobre la figura de Ponte, las cuales, lejos de agotar el tema, pretenden ser una invitación al estudio exhaustivo de su vasta obra, en la que demostró una gran versatilidad y capacidad de adaptación.; The figure of José Antonio Ponte Picavea is key for those who want to understand the architecture of Gipuzkoa in the mid-twentieth century. In his early years, he alternated various architectural languages: modern; not in vain he was part of the Northern Group of GATEPAC; the Basque style, or the eclectic. He was, on the other hand, key in the reconstruction of Gipuzkoa at the end of the Spanish Civil War, since in 1938, he joined the General Directorate of Devastated Regions and Reparations and in 1941, he joined the Obra Sindical del Hogar. This article provides new clues about the figure of Ponte, which, far from exhausting the subject, are intended to be an invitation to the exhaustive study of his vast work, in which he demonstrated great versatility and adaptability; La figure de José Antonio Ponte Picavea est essentielle pour ceux qui veulent comprendre l'architecture de Gipuzkoa au milieu du XXe siècle. Dans ses premières années, il alterne différents langages architecturaux : moderne ; ce n'est pas en vain qu'il a fait partie du groupe nord de GATEPAC ; le style basque, ou l'éclectique. Il a d'autre part joué un rôle clé dans la reconstruction de Gipuzkoa à la fin de la guerre civile espagnole, puisqu'en 1938 il a rejoint la Direction générale des régions dévastées et des réparations et en 1941 il a rejoint l'Obra Sindical del Hogar. Cet article apporte de nouveaux indices sur la figure de Ponte, qui, loin d'épuiser le sujet, se veulent une invitation à l'étude exhaustive de son vaste œuvre, dans laquelle il a fait preuve d'une grande polyvalence et d'une grande capacité d'adaptation
Three studies on Spatial Power Indices
No full text100 p.La teoría de juegos cooperativos nos proporciona herramientas para medir el poder de agentes en situaciones de voto. Los índices de poder miden precisamente este poder. Esta tesis está compuesta por tres estudios sobre índices de poder espaciales. Estos índices tienen en cuenta las posiciones ideológicas de los agentes y las distintas preferencias que pueden tener los mismos. En la tesis se estudia el índice espacial de Owen-Shapley y distintas variantes del mismo.En el capítulo I se estudia el índice espacial de Owen-Shapley en tres dimensiones. En el capítulo II se introduce y se estudia una familia probabilística de índices espaciales que tiene en cuenta la no uniformidad de los diferentes temas a los que se enfrentan los agentes. En el capítulo III se considera y se estudia el caso en el que el número de temas es finit
Risk, return and strategy essays on selected challenges for decarbonization
No full text181 p.This thesis explores the critical interplay between risk, return, and strategic decision-making in the decarbonization of electricity systems. Central to the discussion is the recognition that a successful transition to a low-carbon society requires integrating renewable energy sources through well-designed strategies capable of appropriately allocating and managing risk among key stakeholders, particularly policymakers, investors, and end-consumers. We present three essays, each devoted to a different chapter, in which we study different selected challenges in this energy transition context.This thesis has been funded by the Basque Government’s Department of Science, Universi-ties, and Innovation through predoctoral grants PRE_2021_1_0058, PRE_2022_2_0154, PRE_2023_2_0222, and PRE_2024_2_0172.
