El imperio no contraataca. Propaganda y dibujo animado en Alemania (1939-1945)
Get PDFIn contrast to the war scene, where it unleashed hostilities and maintained the initiative on several fronts at the same time, the National Socialist regime was hardly able to match the Allied countries in the political use of animation, despite the exceptional importance it attached to propaganda. In view of this failure, the article explores the causal framework and delves into a field of forces where institutions compete with companies and talented figures with opportunists in the development of films of very uneven tone and quality that quickly fell into oblivion but which, given their documentary value, should be taken into account in the general framework of the history of animation.A diferencia de lo sucedido en el escenario bélico, donde desató las hostilidades y mantuvo la iniciativa en varios frentes a la vez, el régimen nacionalsocialista apenas si pudo equipararse a los países aliados en el uso político de la animación a pesar de conceder a la propaganda una importancia excepcional. A la vista de este fracaso, el artículo indaga su marco causal y se adentra para ello en un campo de fuerzas donde instituciones rivalizan con empresas y figuras de talento con oportunistas en la gestación de filmes de tono y calidad muy desigual que rápidamente cayeron en el olvido pero que, dado su valor documental, conviene tomar en cuenta en el marco general de la historia de la animación
El auge de la no ficción animada: contexto tecnocultural
Get PDFWhy is animation such a central aesthetic in today’s epistemic environment and when did viewers begin to accept animation’s veracity, despite looking nothing like photorealism or anything one would witness directly? This article explores the techno-cultural reasons for the rise of animated non-fiction in the last 15 years. The article covers animated non-fiction’s relation to image production technologies and image manipulation; documentary and surveillance culture; the information age and big data; machine vision, machine perception and AI; and finally, the virtualization of culture.¿Por qué es la animación una estética tan pivotal en el entorno epistémico actual y cuándo comenzaron los espectadores a aceptar la veracidad de la animación, a pesar de no parecerse en nada al fotorrealismo ni a nada que uno pudiera presenciar directamente? Este artículo explora las razones tecnoculturales del auge de la no ficción animada en los últimos 15 años. El artículo cubre la relación de la no ficción animada con las tecnologías de producción de imágenes y la manipulación de imágenes; cultura documental y de vigilancia; la era de la información y los big data; visión artificial, percepción artificial e inteligencia artificial; y finalmente, la virtualización de la cultura
Concienciación de la salud mental en los jóvenes a través de la animación: su representación en What’s Up With Everyone?
Get PDFThe communication of mental disorders in the youth population is a challenge for public and private institutions due to the great scope that mental disorders have among the youth population (Costas-Pérez et al., 2023). This communication should be aimed at raising awareness in society, but it should also serve to fight against stigmas that have become entrenched in society (López et al., 2008). The current scenario poses the question of what tools are needed to disseminate conciliatory messages to young people. At this stage, we ask ourselves whether animation, due to its creative process, can be positioned as the appropriate medium to achieve the two objectives set: to raise awareness in order to destigmatize. Following the theory of González-Pacanowski & Medina-Aguerrebere (2009); Okan et al., (2016) y Vivas (2021) who claim that visual y graphic resources can improve the understanding of this type of information by simplifying complex messages, we will carry out a study of the animated short films What’s Up With Everyone? (Aardman, 2021) with the aim of determining how the narrative discourse is constructed and how the audiovisual elements are key to achieving understanding by empathizing with mental disorders. This study allows us to affirm that animation manages, thanks to creativity and the creation of imaginary universes, to connect with the audience through empathy, a basic requirement to raise awareness.La comunicación de los trastornos mentales en la población juvenil es un reto que se presenta a las instituciones públicas y privadas debido al gran alcance que los trastornos mentales tienen entre la población juvenil (Costas-Pérez et al., 2023). Esta comunicación debe ir encaminada a concienciar a la sociedad, pero también debe servir para luchar contra estereotipos que se han enquistado en ella (López et al., 2008). El escenario actual nos plantea determinar cuáles son las herramientas necesarias para difundir mensajes conciliadores a los más jóvenes. En este estadio, nos planteamos si la animación, debido a su proceso creativo, puede posicionarse como el soporte adecuado para conseguir los dos objetivos marcados: concienciar para desestigmatizar. Siguiendo la teoría de González-Pacanowski y Medina-Aguerrebere (2009); Okan et al., (2016) y Vivas (2021) que aseguran que los recursos visuales y gráficos pueden mejorar la comprensión de este tipo de información al simplificar mensajes complejos, realizaremos un estudio de los cortometrajes de animación What’s Up With Everyone? (Aardman, 2021), con el objetivo de determinar cómo se construye el discurso narrativo y cómo los elementos audiovisuales son clave para conseguir comprender y empatizar con las personas que sufren de trastornos mentales. El análisis de estos cinco cortometrajes de animación nos permite afirmar que la animación logra, gracias a la creatividad y a la creación de universos imaginarios, conectar con la audiencia mediante la empatía, un requisito básico para despertar conciencias
Mange in farmed rabbits
Get PDFIn this study we determined occurrence of mange in breeding rabbits on 1368 commercial farms in Portugal and Spain during 1996-2022. We obtained our information by carrying out 11 737 visits to 1334 doe farms, 11 farms only with growers, and 23 artificial insemination (AI) centres. The median size of the visited doe farms was 450 does (minimum to maximum: 100–2500 does) and 1175 does (ranging from100 to 6000 does) in 1996 and 2022, respectively. AI was used on 9% of the farms visited in 1996 and 95% in 2022. For our diagnoses we used (1) clinical observations on all visited farms to detect sarcoptic mange; (2) examination of the outer ear of breeding rabbits on a subset of farms to assess the prevalence of otodectic clinical mange (OCM); and (3) the examination of breeding rabbits and youngstock does (2.5 to 5.5 mo old) on a subset of 72 farms during 2018 to estimate prevalence of body mange compatible with cheyletiellosis. They were mainly clinical diagnoses, supported sometimes by a laboratorial confirmation. Over the course of the 27-yr clinical study, the cumulative incidence of sarcoptic mange was low; we recorded a total of 13 affected doe farms. The percentage of farms affected by OCM dropped from 55% in 1996 to 28% in 2022. OCM mean prevalence for the period 1996-2022 and 95% binomial confidence interval (CI) were 3.2% (95% CI [3.1-3.3%]), and 3.9% (95% CI [3.7-4.1%]) in does and bucks, respectively. We observed an improvement over time; the OCM yearly mean prevalence decreased from 7% in 1996 to 2.3% in 2022 in females and from 7.2% to 2.2% in males, respectively. This progress was compatible with the use of semen coming from AI centres; biosecurity measures and medical management also contributed. Genetic type was predisposing risk factor for OCM. Enabling risk factors were year and season (more affected in summer). Hair and skin disorders along the back, compatible with cheyletiellosis, were also assessed during 2018; we detected 50% of positive farms with various prevalence results in females, males or young does. In this study, we describe protocols observed in the control of benign and severe cases of mange in rabbitries, which included the use of ivermectin and synthetic acaricides. Ivermectin was used on 36% of doe farms visited during 2018-2022; we suggest that it should be used less often to lower its negative impact on the environment
Abstracts of the 48th Symposium on Cuniculture, ASESCU
Get PDFThe 48th Congress of the Spanish Association of Cuniculture (ASESCU) was held in Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain. The congress was organised by ASESCU in collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Córdoba. A total of four main lectures were delivered. One of these lectures discussed the current state of cuniculture in Andalusia, while another examined the evolution of the sector in Italy. Another lecture focused on state-of-the-art of alternatives to cages for rabbit housing, and the fourth lecture covered new rabbit lines developed for disease resistance. Additionally, two round tables were held, discussing the main challenges in the rabbit farming sector and new veterinary legislation. A total of 25 communications were presented on various topics, including nutrition, genetics, reproduction, housing and welfare, pathology and products. The event was attended by approximately 130 participants from various European and American countries. Below are the abstracts of the contributions
Psychosocial factors related to the increasing automation of work processes: A systematic review
Get PDFPurpose: To identify which psychosocial factors can be related to the increasing automation of work processes, determining practical implications relevant to the evaluation of psychosocial risk factors at work within organizations before the imminent transition towards industry 4.0
Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review of the literature was carried out. The review structure was based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach for the studies selection and the Noblit and Hare's meta-ethnographic approach for data analysis and synthesis.
Findings: Thirty-five studies were selected which passed all the selection stages. Six psychosocial risk factors were detected whose behaviors may be influenced by the increasing automation of work. Evidence suggests that the factors of development possibility, change management, mental load, routine content, and job insecurity may increase their exposure due to job modifications owing to new automation technologies. On the other hand, social relationships at work have the ability to positively influence the successful implementation of new automated processes.
Originality/value: The results obtained represent excellent indications of an overview of psychosocial risk factors that may increase their danger due to the increasing automation of work processes and Industry 4.0
La representación de la inteligencia emocional a través de la serie de ficción surcoreana Yumi's Cells
Get PDFAnimation has echoed the importance that mental health has recently acquired in society. Knowing how to identify one’s own emotions and interpret them in order to know how to develop skills, make decisions and, in short, to know oneself as an individual, is one of the main challenges facing the contemporary subject. This article examines, from a gender perspective, the treatment of emotional intelligence in South Korean fiction through the series Yumi’s Cells (2021-2022), which combines real images and animation. A textual analysis reveals that the representation of ani[1]mated characters serves as a pedagogical tool for the audience to learn to detect everyday emotions, particularly in the context of South Korean society, which lacks certain psychological resources, as the extroversion of emotions is considered a social taboo.La animación se ha hecho eco de la importancia que la salud mental ha adquirido recientemente en la sociedad. Identificar las emociones propias e interpretarlas para saber cómo desarrollar habilidades, tomar decisiones y, en definitiva, conocerse individualmente, suponen uno de los principales retos a los que se enfrenta el sujeto contemporáneo. Este artículo explora, desde una perspectiva de género, el tratamiento de la inteligencia emocional en la ficción surcoreana a través de la serie Yumi’s Cells (2021-2022), que combina imagen real y animación. Mediante un análisis textual, se confirma que la representación de los personajes animados sirve como una herramienta pedagógica para que la audiencia aprenda a detectar las emociones cotidianas, particularmente en un contexto como el de la sociedad surcoreana que adolece de determinados recursos psicológicos, pues la extroversión de las emociones es considerada un tabú social

Cuerda que Desliza sobre una Mesa: Modelo Complejo vs. Modelo Simple
Get PDFIn the Teaching of Newtonian Dynamics at the University Level we usually build Mechanical Models to understand the Physical situation studied. Usually, we first build simple models that we will later become more sophisticated with the intention of creating a more complex and therefore more realistic model in the end. We thus ensure that the sophisticated model is better than the simple model (Progressive Modeling Strategy, EMP). Is this always like this? We present here the construction of Two Mechanical Models (one Sophisticated and the other Simple) to study the Movement of a Massive Rope Sliding on a Table with and without Dry Friction and we show that the main results obtained in the simple model are as good and general as those obtained from the sophisticated model. The above shows us how to study the problem of the Rope that Slides across a Table in different stages of University Education without detriment to the complete understanding of the problem posed. As a complement to the above, we also discuss the Lagrangian version of the Problem, as well as a possible generalization to the problem posed.En la Enseñanza de la Dinámica Newtoniana a nivel universitario solemos construir Modelos Mecánicos para la comprensión de la situación Física estudiada. Por lo regular construimos primeramente modelos simples (toy models) que posteriormente iremos sofisticando con la intención de crear un modelo más complejo y por tanto más realista al final. Aseguramos con ello que el modelo sofisticado es mejor que el modelo simple (Estrategia de Modelización Progresiva, EMP). ¿Esto es siempre así?. Presentamos aquí la construcción de Dos Modelos Mecánicos (uno Sofisticado y otro Simple) para estudiar el Movimiento de una Cuerda Masiva que Resbala sobre una Mesa con y sin Fricción Seca y mostramos que los principales resultados obtenidos en el modelo simple son tan buenos y generales como los obtenidos del modelo sofisticado. Lo anterior nos muestra como poder estudiar el problema de la Cuerda que Desliza por una Mesa en diferentes estadios de la Educación Universitaria sin detrimento de la compresión completa del problema planteado. Como complemento a lo anterior discutimos también la versión Lagrangiana del Problema, así como una posible generalización al problema planteado
