Cómo mejorar la enseñanza de idiomas para las personas refugiadas.
Get PDFhttps://theconversation.com/es/republishing-guidelinesAprender un idioma en edad adulta no siempre responde a las mismas motivaciones que nos impulsan cuando somos niños. Algunas veces esta tarea se convierte en una forma de sobrevivir a circunstancias personales imprevistas. Por ejemplo, cuando dejamos nuestro país porque nuestra vida corre peligro. En estos casos, ¿cómo se puede afrontar la enseñanza de idiomas para las personas refugiadas?Universidad de Málaga aporta financiación como institución colaboradora de The Conversation ES

Abordando la crisis ecológica contemporánea como concepto, el artista refleja su preocupación por el exceso de basura que generamos, cuestiona la clasifi- cación de algunos residuos como basura y plantea la necesidad de profundizar en el reciclaje
Nuevos datos sobre la periodización de los tratamientos nominales verticales ascendentes entre la nobleza andaluza del siglo XVIII.
Get PDFEste trabajo analiza los tratamientos nominales verticales ascendentes, esto es, de hijos políticos a padres políticos, con usos vocativos y referenciales, entre la nobleza andaluza de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Por un lado, el corpus epistolar sugiere una más temprana periodización de las fórmulas de tratamiento papa y mama en Andalucía. Por otro lado, los datos advierten de un estadio de variación pragmática en que las formas padre, madre, papa y mama son empleadas respecto de los padres en sentido estricto, mientras que padre y madre se reservan para los padres políticos. Finalmente, incluimos el estudio de las combinatorias pronominales alternativas consignadas, entre las que descuella el laísmo
Enabling Autonomous Agents for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks.
Get PDFWireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a pivotal role in monitoring and acting applications. However, suboptimal deployments and traffic imbalances lead to rapid network exhaustions. To address this, topology changes could be carried out by mobile robots. In this work, a software package to study different strategies and algorithms for the deployment, operation, and retrieval of mobile WSN is introduced. This package employs the globally known software ecosystem for robotics, ROS (Robot Operating System) 2, allowing to study the above-mentioned strategies and algorithms in simulation or in actual deployments. Two strategies concerning robot control are compared, the Social Potential Fields-only approach and an intelligent Agent layer. Each strategy is tested and optimized with different parameters. Results show that the Agents approach yields more consistent results and globally better metrics in terms of network lifetime and coverage
Iniciación al estudio de la interacción entre el agente causal de la muerte regresiva y el aguacate.
No full textEl aguacate es uno de los cultivos subtropicales más importante de la Península Ibérica y su producción en España se concentra mayoritariamente en la provincia de Málaga y la costa tropical de Granada. Uno de los principales desafíos para su producción es la enfermedad conocida como muerte regresiva de rama causada en esta ocasión mayoritariamente por especies del género Neofusicoccum, y cuyo
síntoma principal es la muerte de ramas completas, incluyendo las yemas florales y frutos. El conocimiento de los mecanismos de infección del patógeno es importante a la hora de diseñar y evaluar métodos de control. Por ello estamos llevando a cabo ensayos de susceptibilidad/tolerancia en diferentes variedades de aguacate frente a Neofusicoccum parvum, N. luteum y Lasiodiplodia theobromae. Además, estamos realizando ensayos de incidencia de la enfermedad frente a distintos estreses abióticos para el análisis del grado de influencia de la situación de estrés sobre la gravedad en el desarrollo de la muerte regresiva.
Por otro lado, en este estudio se está llevando a cabo un análisis transcriptómico de la interacción de Neofusicoccum luteum con rama y fruto de aguacate comparándolos con su crecimiento en medio de cultivo. Entre los genes sobreexpresados en la interacción hongo/rama/fruto se identificaron genes relacionados con la producción de micotoxinas, degradación de pared, detoxificación de compuestos nocivos, degradación de proteínas y proteínas efectoras candidatas, tres de las cuales mostraron una probabilidad del 100% (Effector P3) y localización apoplástica.
Este trabajo ha sido financiado por los acuerdos 806/60.5345 y 806/60.5952 suscrito entre la Universidad de Málaga y la empresa del sector productivo del aguacate TROPS SAT-2803. Proyectos, RTA2017-00040 y AVA2019.008 cofinanciado por fondos FEDER y Junta de Andalucía
The awkward rhetoric of Spanish liberalism: The politics of language of the Citizens party.
Get PDFPolítica de acceso abierto tomada de: https://openpolicyfinder.jisc.ac.uk/id/publication/10964This article explores the ideological controversies around Spanish liberalism through the story of the Citizens party – from its rise in 2006 through 2023, after a sequence of electoral defeats that almost certified its demise. Born as a regional party in Catalonia with an anti-nationalist platform focused on linguistic policies, in national politics it fostered a liberal agenda. The article examines Citizens’ politics of language hiding the party’s liberal identity because of its association to right-wing outlooks. At its founding documents there was an amalgam of liberal and social democratic constitutional values inspiring the party’s political approach. No earnest question was made of their difficult accommodation, given their disparity at the policy level. In 2017 an internal debate arouse, and from 2019 a number of electoral setbacks accelerated it. By then the liberal language legitimizing its passage from regional into a national party had lost its civic appeal.Civic Constellation III project (Spain’s Research Fund, PGC2018-093573-B-I00), and COST Action 16211 Reap- praising Intellectual Debates on Civic Rights and Democracy in Europe (RECAST, Horizon 2020 Framework Programme)
Bentonite-based LC3 low carbon cement and activation by C-S-H nucleation seeding
Get PDFThis study explores the feasibility of using calcined bentonitic clays in LC3-50 binders. Four commercially available bentonite rocks were thermally activated and milled to a Dv,50 of 12 ± 2 μm. Their pozzolanic activities were assessed using the R3 method, yielding total heat released values between 190 and 378 J/g-SCM, exceeding the minimum requirements for supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The incorporation of superplasticisers (SP) in bentonitic LC3 mortars was optimized, requiring dosages between 0.7 and 1.1 wt% (by the weight of binder) to achieve an initial slump of 200 ± 20 mm, with flow maintained for 1 h in three of them. These results dispel concerns regarding the use of SP in LC3 containing calcined bentonites.
Early-age hydration reactions were accelerated using C-S-H nucleation seeding technology, which increased bentonite LC3 mortar compressive strength by 50 % at one day. The compressive mechanical strengths at 28 days of the seeded mortars were also enhanced by 15 %.
To elucidate the effects of C-S-H nucleation seeding, LC3 pastes were analysed, confirming the occurrence of pozzolanic reactions at one day of hydration. The portlandite contents, determined by Rietveld quantitative phase analysis and thermal analysis, were lower than expected based on the alite hydration degree at the analysed times. Furthermore, the strength enhancing admixture systematically increased the formation of AFm-type phases, such as hemicarboaluminate, and refined the pore microstructure at one day of hydration.Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBU
Creativity Vs Grit: key competences to understand Entrepreneurial Intention
Get PDFUniversities are assuming an increasingly active and key role in promoting entrepreneurship and qualified entrepreneurial human capital. From the lens of the Entrepreneurial University, the institution integrates an entrepreneurial mindset into the management and commits to Entrepreneurial Education (EE) to foster potential entrepreneurship. Studying this reality from a competency-based approach is particularly interesting and useful from an applied angle. Entrepreneurial competences are understood to be highly relevant for entrepreneurship. However, the research has been more oriented to study their effect on entrepreneurial activity and success, lacking studies that analyze their impact on the first stage, the formation of entrepreneurial intentions (EI).
This research is novel extending the broadly validated Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by integrating specific entrepreneurial competences as antecedents of EI. With a sample of 732 university students, this research presents a SEM model that permits to jointly analyze the effect of six different entrepreneurial competences (creativity, opportunity recognition, networking, resilience, consistency of interest, and perseverance of effort) on EI, considering the three TPB dimensions: personal attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.
The results show that not all competences are significant for EI and their influence differs markedly. Creativity proves to be a key competence for the potential entrepreneurship stage while the two competences that comprise the psychological Grit concept have no influence on EI. The findings are linked to pedagogical recommendations, presenting valuable insights for EE. Entrepreneurial training based on competences must be designed more consciously, targeting particular competences and considering the specific phase of the entrepreneurial process.Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBU

Short-term response to light after the polar night in the Arctic kelps Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima
Get PDFThe current absence of ice in early spring in a number of Arctic fjords allows sunlight to penetrate the water column about two months earlier than it used to be when a thick ice cover was present. This can potentially change the growth dynamics of permanent seaweed forests. To elucidate the ability of seaweeds to take advantage of this early available light, growth, photosynthetic performance, and biochemical composition has been analyzed in two major forest-forming algal species, Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima, from Kongsfjorden (Svalbard) collected in early February, and incubated in dim light and dark conditions. For A. esculenta, new tissue appeared during the last weeks of the polar night, so that the new and old tissues coexisted in the same individuals and were compared. Dim light triggered positive growth rates. The onset of light led to rapid (1 h) increase in the optimum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) in the new tissue of A. esculenta, while the old tissue and S. latissima increased their maximum photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETRm). The new tissue accumulated 3 to 5 times more internal nitrate than the old tissue, but it showed lower content of photosynthetic pigments. Dim light promoted changes in stored carbohydrates in A. esculenta while the total C:N:P ratios remained stable in both species. Furthermore, S. latissima responded to light by decreasing its ∂13C values, indicating some activation of its carbon concentrating mechanism. Overall, dim light showed the potential to trigger photosynthetic metabolism and growth as early as February.This research was funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities project PID 2021-127865NB-I00, and the Research Vice-rectorate of the University of Malaga.
