Scratching where it doesn’t itch: science denialism, expertise, and the probative value of scientific consensus
No full textIn recent years, several strategies have been proposed to counteract scientific denialism, among which one of the most influential is that of Elizabeth Anderson, who argues that any lay person with access to the Internet and basic education can reliably assess the acceptability of various claims involving expert knowledge. In particular, the author shows that this procedure can be successfully applied to the case of anthropogenic global warming. In this article we will try to argue why, although Anderson's proposal is satisfactory in that particular case, it fails when applied to flat-Eartherism and anti-vaxxerism.In recent years, several strategies have been proposed to counteract scientific denialism, among which one of the most influential is that of Elizabeth Anderson, who argues that any lay person with access to the Internet and basic education can reliably assess the acceptability of various claims involving expert knowledge.

En concreto, la autora muestra que este procedimiento puede aplicarse con éxito al caso del calentamiento global antropogénico. En este artículo intentaremos demostrar por qué, aunque la propuesta de Anderson es satisfactoria ese caso concreto, fracasa cuando se aplica al terraplanismo y el movimiento antivacunas.
Abstract: In recent years, several strategies have been proposed to tackle social controversies about topics in which science is settled, among which one of the most influential is that of Elizabeth Anderson, who argues that any lay person with access to the Internet and basic education can reliably assess the acceptability of various claims involving expert knowledge. In particular, the author shows that this procedure can be successfully applied to the case of anthropogenic global warming. In this article we will try to argue why, even if we concede that Anderson’s proposal is satisfactory in that particular case, it fails to generalize when applied to other controversies. In this article, we illustrate it with the cases of flat-Eartherism and anti-vaxxerism.In recent years, several strategies have been proposed to counteract scientific denialism, among which one of the most influential is that of Elizabeth Anderson, who argues that any lay person with access to the Internet and basic education can reliably assess the acceptability of various claims involving expert knowledge.

ANALISIS DEL PATRIMONIO AMBIENTAL DE UN SECTOR RURAL AL NORORIENTE DE COLOMBIA, ABORDAJE DESDE EL ENFOQUE DE TIERRAS
No full textRural farming communities constantly use natural resources on their farms to obtain food and raw materials necessary for their lives. However, this relationship implies alterations in the environmental heritage, which can compromise the sustainability of the territories. To analyze this reality of rural Colombia, the current state of the environmental heritage (soil, cover and forests) was evaluated in a rural sector of the municipality of Malaga Santander, using the land approach, and the social, environmental and economic characterization of the farming communities that live there. The quality of life context was not optimal for the communities, with the soil and forests being natural resources in critical conservation conditions. The hierarchy analysis defined the lines of work for environmental and forest management that improves the current living conditions in the study area, where the participation of the communities in the planning of the territory is important. The information provided is a reference for the region on how to achieve the sustainability of the territories, linked to the use of natural resources on the farms. Las comunidades campesinas rurales hacen uso constante de recursos naturales en sus fincas, para disponer de alimentos y materias primas necesarias en su vida, sin embargo, esta relación implica alteraciones del patrimonio ambiental, que pueden comprometer la sostenibilidad en los territorios. Para analizar esta realidad de la ruralidad de Colombia, se evaluó el estado actual del patrimonio ambiental (suelo, coberturas y bosques) en un sector rural del municipio de Málaga Santander, empleando el enfoque de tierras, y la caracterización social, ambiental y económica de las comunidades campesinas que allí habitan. El contexto de calidad de vida no fue óptimo para las comunidades, siendo el suelo y los bosques, recursos naturales en condiciones críticas de conservación. El análisis de jerarquía, definió las líneas a de trabajo para una gestión ambiental y forestal que mejore las condiciones de vida actuales en la zona de estudio, donde la participación de las comunidades en la planificación del territorio es importante. La información aportada, es un referente para la región sobre la forma de alcanzar la sostenibilidad de los territorios, articulada al uso de los recursos naturales en las finca
CARTOGRAFÍA DE LA PELIGROSIDAD DE DÉFICIT Y EXCESO HÍDRICO EN LA PROVINCIA DE SANTA FE (ARGENTINA)
No full textIn recent years, the relevance of studies analyzing the impact of extreme hydrometeorological events, both excesses and deficits of water, on Argentina's agricultural and livestock production has increased, due to their growing economic impact and the need to design risk management strategies to minimize losses and improve sector productivity. The sector has experienced significant losses as a result of the frequency and intensity of these events, making it essential to understand their origin, recurrence, and territorial impact.
This work presents a cartographic representation of a hazard index (Ip), which allows the assessment of risk conditions associated with extreme events in Santa Fe during the period 1959–2023. For its construction, meteorological data from strategically distributed weather stations were used, enabling coverage of the entire provincial territory.
The results indicate a higher tendency toward drought events, although extreme wet events were more intense than dry episodes. The high climatic and meteorological variability explains the current scenario, highlighting that this type of indicator and thematic risk mapping is essential for planning prevention, mitigation, and disaster reduction measures.En los últimos años, ha crecido la relevancia de los estudios que analizan la incidencia de eventos hidrometeorológicos extremos, tanto de exceso como de déficit hídrico, sobre la producción agroganadera en Argentina, debido a su creciente impacto económico y a la necesidad de diseñar estrategias de gestión del riesgo que permitan minimizar pérdidas y mejorar la productividad en el sector. El mismo ha sufrido pérdidas significativas debido a la periodicidad e intensidad de estos fenómenos, lo cual es fundamental comprender el origen y frecuencia como así también su impacto sobre el territorio.
Este trabajo presenta la representación cartográfica de un índice de peligrosidad (Ip) que permite evaluar las condiciones de peligrosidad de los eventos extremos de Santa Fe durante el período 1959–2023. Para su construcción, se utilizaron datos meteorológicos de estaciones meteorológicas distribuidas estratégicamente permitiendo cubrir el territorio provincial.
Los resultados demuestran una mayor tendencia hacia eventos de déficit hídrico, pero con eventos extremos húmedos más intensos que los episodios secos. La alta variabilidad climática y meteorológica explica el actual escenario y contexto que vivimos lo cual, estos tipos de indicadores y de cartografía temática del riesgo resultan clave para planificar acciones de prevención, mitigación y reducción de desastres
Jhumpa Lahiri: una escritora reconvertida a la lengua italiana literaria
No full textJhumpa Lahiri's literary trajectory is taking an unusual turn: from successful beginnings as an English-language storyteller to a broadening of the register of her Italian-language work. This article describes several aspects of this process of literary language twist by providing the main external facts of this process, as they emerge from biblio-chronology and public statements by the author, and, secondly, by undertaking several samples of various significant fragments of her work to point to the purpose of this shift. The article analyses a particularly relevant symbolic element present at the beginning of Dove mi trovo, the first and only novel written in Italian to date, and the material object of this article, and examines the value attributed by the author to the self-translation of the novel into English as a hermeneutic key to the project.La trayectoria literaria de Jhumpa Lahiri está describiendo un rumbo desacostumbrado: de unos comienzos exitosos como narradora en lengua inglesa a una ampliación del registro de su obra en lengua italiana. Este artículo describe varios aspectos de este proceso de cambio de lengua literaria, aportando los principales datos externos del mismo, tal y como se desprenden de la biblio-cronología y de las declaraciones públicas de la autora, y, en segundo lugar, realizando varias catas en diversos fragmentos significativos de su obra con el fin de apuntar al propósito de este giro. La segunda parte analiza un elemento simbólico especialmente relevante presente al comienzo de Dove mi trovo, la primera y única novela escrita en italiano hasta la fecha, y objeto material de este artículo, y destaca el valor atribuido por la autora a la auto-traducción de la novela al inglés como clave hermenéutica del conjunto del proyecto
Las UF que (des)conocen los jóvenes: un estudio de caso sobre la competencia fraseológica pasiva en lengua materna y extranjera
No full textThe aim of this article is to assess the passive phraseological competence of university students with an advanced level of language (Spanish and French), in relation to their paremiological competence. Therefore, the information obtained in this case study on phraseological competence has been contrasted with the information extracted from a previous study (Huéscar and Sevilla, 2024) on paremiological competence developed with the same methodology. Through the results obtained from this study, the suggested objectives have been achieved, as well as validating the two proposed hypotheses, since it has been found that the phraseological competence of the participants is limited, as occurs with passive paremiological competence (Huéscar and Sevilla, 2024, p. 183), although the phraseological competence of the sample studied is higher than the paremiological competence of another similar sample in terms of age and language level analyzed in Huéscar and Sevilla (2024).En el presente artículo, se pretende valorar la competencia fraseológica pasiva de estudiantes universitarios con un nivel avanzado de lengua (español y francés), tanto materna como extranjera, en relación con su competencia paremiológica. Por ello, se ha contrastado la información obtenida en este estudio de caso sobre la competencia fraseológica con la información extraída de un estudio previo (Huéscar y Sevilla, 2024) sobre competencia paremiológica desarrollado con la misma metodología. Mediante los resultados obtenidos de este estudio, se han alcanzado los objetivos sugeridos, así como validar las dos hipótesis propuestas, pues se ha comprobado que la competencia fraseológica de los encuestados es limitada, igual que ocurre con la competencia paremiológica pasiva (Huéscar y Sevilla, 2024, p. 183), si bien la competencia fraseológica de la muestra estudiada es superior a la competencia paremiológica de otra muestra similar en cuanto a edad y nivel de lenguas analizada en Huéscar y Sevilla (2024)

El matrimonio desunido por las ideologías antagónicas durante el franquismo y las víctimas-verdugos en Algo pasa en la calle (1954) de Elena Quiroga y Cinco horas con Mario (1966) de Miguel Delibes
No full textThis text begins with a comparative analysis of Algo pasa en la calle and Cinco horas con Mario, which came out twelve years later. However, based on the similarities in narrative techniques and dramatic motifs, both works reveal shifts in creative force toward reflections on the various social problems of the Franco regime. In Quiroga's narrative, the double ideological bipolarization between three protagonists leads us to an investigation of the crisis of female existence during the Franco regime. The social perception of divorce in the postwar period and the social repression of women become the main themes.El presente texto inicia por el análisis comparativo entre Algo pasa en la calle y Cinco horas con Mario, que salió a la luz doce años más tarde. En base de las similitudes en las técnicas narrativas y los motivos dramáticos, en las dos se observan giros de las fuerzas creativas hacia las reflexiones de los distintos problemas sociales durante el franquismo. En el relato quiroguiano, la doble bipolarización ideológica entre tres protagonistas nos dirige a la investigación de la existencia femenina en crisis durante el franquismo. La percepción social del divorcio en la postguerra se convierte en los debates principales.

Las memorias de Íñigo de Balboa: la autobiografía soldadesca en El capitán Alatriste de Pérez-Reverte
No full textCaptain Alatriste’s novels are a clear rewriting of the pattern of the lives of soldiers of the Golden Age, a subject that is examined in this work: after offering some evidence of this filiation, the double autobiographical scheme of the story is defined, the formal and thematic changes are analyzed, and finally other ornamental ingredients are commented on. By doing so, this paper tries to explain the new aesthetic and ethical commitment of this contemporary rewriting.Las novelas de El capitán Alatriste son una clara reescritura del patrón de las vidas de soldados del Siglo de Oro, asunto que se examina en el presente trabajo: luego de ofrecer algunas pruebas de la filiación, se define el esquema autobiográfico doble del relato, se analizan los cambios formales y temáticos, y finalmente se comentan otros ingredientes ornamentales. Así, se trata de explicar la nueva apuesta estética y ética de esta reescritura contemporánea
