What Lurks in the Peripheries: From Urban Margins to Marginal Genres in Short Stories by Margo Lanagan and Ariadna Castellarnau
No full textThis chapter explores the disaggregation and strangeness that increases when urban landscapes merge with suburban panoramas. When trespassing these liminal areas, a sense of in-betweenness brings about a lapse of uncertainty. The literature of the fantastic, in its search for “reality detours,” can profit from this singular scenario where space constitutes an unstable context. The present analysis focuses on two short story collections: Margo Lanagan’s Black Juice (2004) and Ariadna Castellarnau’s La oscuridad es un lugar (2020). While these narratives use realistic materials, there are cracks into reality in them that result in spatial distortions. The fantastic or unusual space is at the crossroads between the center-periphery and stasis-mobility dualisms. There are also recurrent transitions between the solid and realistic dimension of life in human settlements and the transient and imaginary side of existence on the outside. The correlation between these variables is almost regular. Drawing on the productive systematicity of this connection, this chapter illuminates the intersection of spatial borders with the conceptualization of liminal or hybrid genres such as the Unusual, the Weird, and the Eerie.El texto aborda la relación entre periferias urbanas y géneros literarios marginales a través de un estudio comparado de los relatos del volumen Black Juice (2006), de la australiana Margo Lanagan y de los recogidos en La oscuridad es un lugar (2020) de la española Ariadna Castellarnau. En ellos se exploran las dinámicas entre movilidad y espacio narrativo, destacando cómo las periferias de Australia y Argentina funcionan como escenarios de ruptura entre lo real y lo fantástico. A partir de geografías desoladas, ambos autores generan narrativas que desdibujan los límites entre géneros tradicionales, como el realismo, el fantástico y lo distópico. El análisis resalta los paralelismos entre los contextos periurbanos de ambos países, subrayando la tensión entre «civilización y barbarie» y la función simbólica de las periferias en la construcción de subjetividades
Spanish television series between 2015 and 2021: production, broadcasters and hegemonic genres and subgenres
No full textEn España, la llegada de los operadores internacionales de televisión bajo demanda, a partir de 2015, alimentó la formación de un nuevo sistema televisivo. A las grandes plataformas, le siguieron operadores nacionales, repositorios de contenidos y canales temáticos de pago, que fueron creando un tejido de producción y distribución distinto. Esta investigación ahonda en las características generales de la producción de ficción seriada española en este periodo. Se interesa por variables como el volumen de producción, los canales y soportes por los que se emite, la serialidad dominante o la relación de fuerzas entre las empresas productoras. También por las características narrativas y temáticas de las producciones, que clasifica por género y subgénero. Para ello se ha realizado un censo propio, en el que se incluyen las ficciones seriadas españolas emitidas desde 2015 hasta 2021 (n = 288). Se ha generado una base de datos con 458 registros a fin de cuantificar los indicadores propuestos. Para la clasificación de las producciones por género y subgénero se han construido tipologías inductivas y a posteriori. Los resultados describen un complejo panorama de producción y distribución en el que la ficción televisiva española se ha visto reforzada no solo en términos de volumen de negocio, sino también de diversidad, originalidad y calidad. Se ha visto contagiada de los estándares internacionales, pero se perciben temáticas y narrativas vinculadas con lo local (costumbrismo, interés por la historia propia, actualidad sociopolítica, preocupaciones emergentes) que dotan a la producción española de una idiosincrasia propia. Esta etapa se presenta como el germen del momento dorado que vive la producción de ficción doméstica.In Spain, the arrival of international television operators on demand contributed to the formation of a new television system, starting in 2015. These large platforms were followed by national operators, content repositories and thematic payment channels. They all created a different production and distribution system. This research focus in the general characteristics of the production of Spanish serial fiction, in this period. It is interested in variables such as the volume of production, the channels and supports through which it is broadcast, the dominant seriality, or the relationship of forces between the producing companies. It takes also in account the narrative and thematic characteristics of the productions, which it classifies by genre and subgenre. For this, an own census has been carried out, which includes the Spanish serial fictions broadcast since 2015 to 2021 (n = 288). The registry by years of emission has generated a database with 458 records with which to quantify the proposed indicators. These productions have been organized by genre and subgenre, using inductive and a posteriori typologies. The results describe a complex panorama of production and distribution in which Spanish television fiction has made stronger in terms of business volume, but also diversity, originality and quality. That it has been affected by international standards, it is perceived the relevance of topics and narratives linked to the local (costumbrismo, interest in Spanish history, current sociopolitical issues, emerging concerns) that gives Spanish production an own idiosyncrasy. This stage is presented as the germ of the golden moment that domestic fiction production is experiencing today.Keywords: Televisión, video on demand services, television series, television fiction, television fiction genres, Spain.Estudio apoyado o financiado por el Proyecto «Politaintment ante la fragmentación mediática: desintermediación, engagement y polarización» (PID2020-114193RB-I00, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) y por el Grupo de investigación reconocido por la Universidad de Burgos, CAYPAT.

Broken Rotor Bar Detection in Closed Loop Inverter Fed Induction Motors Through Time-Frequency Techniques
No full textIn traction,automotive,and some industrial processes,the operation of the induction motor is set using speed. This creates an additional control loop that is external to the current controller that inverters already possess. While the impact of the latter control loop on fault detection in induction motors has already been studied,the influence of closed-loop speed control has not been explored enough. This paper presents the findings on the impact of PID speed control on the broken rotor bar fault detection. The study reveals that the constant corrective actions of the PID controller to correct the speed cause an increase in the noise level and spectral leakage around the first harmonic in the stator current spectrum that prevents fault detection. It is concluded that it is necessary to use time-frequency analysis techniques with excellent spectral resolution,such as the Dragon Transform or the Min-Norm technique
The position of agricultural entrepreneur in the negotiation of agro.industrial contracts and their strengthening
No full textLa protección del contratante débil debe comprender al empresario agrícola, ganadero y pesquero, que se hallan en una situación de desventaja frente a las industrias de transformación de cara a la venta o suministro de sus productos. Es necesario fortalecer su posición negociadora mediante la agrupación de productores, que puedan pactar mejores condiciones contractuales, siempre con respeto de las normas de defensa de la competencia.The protection of weak contractors must include agricultural, livestock and fishing entrepreneurs, who are at a disadvantage compared to processing industries when it comes to the sale or supply of their products. It is necessary to strengthen their negotiating position through the grouping of producers, who can agree on better contractual conditions, always with respect for the rules of defense of competition

The study focused on evaluating the acquisition of competencies in international cooperation among the students. To achieve this, a mixed methodology was employed: quantitative, through the S-LOMS questionnaire administered before and after the implementation, and qualitative, through the analysis of students' portfolios. The project's results show a significant improvement in competencies related to community engagement, critical thinking, and knowledge application. These improvements highlight the effectiveness of Service-Learning projects and underscore the importance of promoting an education that not only addresses academic learning but also the development of essential skills for active and responsible participation in a global community. The combination of methodologies provided a comprehensive and detailed view of the project's benefits, emphasizing the ability of these approaches to enrich the training of future teachers of English and better prepare them to face the challenges of education in an increasingly interconnected, plurilingual and pluricultural world.Este trabajo forma parte del Proyecto AyS“Educación Integral en el Líbano” aprobado en la V Convocatoria de Proyectos de Innovación Docente y Transformación Social en Aprendizaje y Servicio (ApS) para el Curso Académico 2023-2024 con financiación de la Universidad de Burgos
Nasopharyngeal Botflies Oestrus ovis and Cephenemyia stimulator in Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) from Northern Spain
No full textTwo of 19 roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in northern Spain were infested with Cephenemyia stimulator and one individual with Oestrus ovis. Three larvae of O. ovis were recovered from the nasopharynx of an adult female deer examined in February 2017, during the hunting season in the province of Burgos. The larvae were identified by morphology, and DNA sequencing from cytochrome oxidase subunit I and 28S rDNA confirmed the identification of both species of larvae. The possibility of O. ovis parasitizing roe deer should be considered in the diagnosis of nasal bots in cervids

Challenges in Housing Accessibility Towards Universal Design
No full textHousing is the most regulated type of building. Standards significantly influence the
design and construction quality, often making universal design more expensive and challenging to
implement. This study aims to review current Spanish regulations on accessibility in the housing
sector, to promote non-discriminatory and independent access, while ensuring the safety of each
resident. The research is exploratory and qualitative, involving a systematic bibliographic review
through an exhaustive search of regulations in force until December 2023. In Spain, there are three
laws (from 1999, 1960 and 2022), three decrees (from 2006, 2013 and 2015) and a national plan from the
regulatory framework. The main regulation, the Technical Building Code, outlines the accessibility,
safety and habitability requirements that buildings must adhere to. The most recent is Law 6/2022
on Cognitive Accessibility. Spain has robust legislation with innovative approaches and ambitious
goals. However, there is a lack of societal awareness that housing is a fundamental right and that the
regulations must be upheld. Several proposals for improvement have been made. These suggested
changes address the specific challenges of each region and promote more inclusive and adaptable
projects for all people from the early stages of design
Determination of ofloxacin in urine using UV/Vis absorption spectroelectrochemistry
No full textUV–Vis absorption spectroelectrochemistry has been selected as a suitable multiresponse technique to determine
the fluoroquinolone ofloxacin in urine samples without any previous pretreatment. Due to the modification of the
working electrode surface during the oxidation of this antibiotic, the electrode has to be replaced or polished
between measurements. A new spectroelectrochemistry cell has been developed, which allows in an simple way
to perform reproducible experiments with different screen-printed electrodes. The new cell has been used to
perform analysis in a complex matrix such as urine. Due to the trilinear character of the spectroelectrochemical
data, PARAFAC has been used to determine ofloxacin with very good figures of merit, demonstrating the
capability of trilinear methods to avoid the influence of some interfering compounds.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion ´ and Agencia Estatal de Inves tigacion ´ (Grant numbers: MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, PID2020-113154RB-C21), Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion ´ y Uni versidades (Grant number: RED2022-134120-T), Junta de Castilla y Leon ´ and European Regional Development Fund (Grant number: BU036P23) are gratefully acknowledged for funding this work
Optimizing space use, technical skills in youth soccer's offensive phase
No full textEl presente trabajo de investigación tiene por objetivo analizar la gestión espacial y el desempeño técnico que desarrollan los jugadores de fútbol de categoría infantil. En el seno de la metodología observacional, se ha establecido un diseño del tipo I/P/M. La muestra estuvo compuesta por todas las acciones ofensivas realizadas por el campeón de LaLiga Promises 2019. Tras el registro de los datos se ha realizado un análisis de búsqueda asociativa entre variables categóricas haciendo uso del estadístico X2 de Pearson. Los resultados manifiestan la falta de gestión eficaz del espacio por parte de los jugadores de esta edad careciendo de amplitud en su desarrollo ofensivo. En cuanto al análisis del desempeño técnico, los resultados revelan, que los jugadores de esta edad, sí que son capaces de desarrollar acciones técnicas exitosas de máxima complejidad, destacando las acciones con carácter individual, como son la conducción, el regate y el lanzamiento.The present research aims to analyze the spatial management and technical performance exhibited by youth soccer players. Within the observational methodology framework, a type I/P/M design has been established. The sample consisted of all offensive actions performed by the champion of LaLiga Promises 2019. Following data registration, an associative search analysis between categorical variables was conducted using Pearson’s X2 statistic. The results indicate a lack of effective spatial management by players of this age, lacking breadth in their offensive development. Regarding the analysis of technical performance, the findings reveal that players of this age are indeed capable of executing successful technically complex actions, with individual actions such as dribbling, ball control, and shooting standing ou
