Differential Characteristics of Sexual Offences Committed by Minors in Groups Versus Individually
No full text[EN]This study analysed records of sexual offences committed by minor offenders through an examination of the criminological databases of the Spanish Civil Guard between 2015 and 2019. The characteristics of these offences, as well as the profiles of the offenders and their victims, were examined. The results revealed that 19% of these offences were committed by groups of minors. Both group offenders and those who acted alone were predominantly male, with an average age of approximately 15 years, and committed the offences under similar spatial and temporal conditions. Statistically significant differences emerged between the two groups in terms of the types of offences, the involvement of female accomplices, the criminal histories of the offenders, and the age distribution of the victims. This study sheds light on nuanced distinctions within the realm of juvenile sexual offences and underscores the importance of intervention and prevention strategies tailored to the specific characteristics of these offences
Photoelectron Spectroscopy of the Phosphorus Monosulfide (PS) and Phosphorus Monoxide (PO) Radicals
No full text[EN]PO and PS radicals are the smallest units of phosphorus oxides and phosphorus sulfides, respectively, two rich families of refrac-
tory compounds widely employed in industrial and technological applications. These two diatomic radicals are also thought to be
relevant for the phosphorus (P) chemistry in the interstellar medium (ISM). PO is indeed one of the few P-bearing molecules
detected in the ISM, while models also predict a considerable abundance of PS, although its presence in the ISM has not been
confirmed yet. Since P is an essential element for the development of life, understanding its relatively unknown chemistry in the
ISM is essential for astrobiology. The recent detection of PO + in surprisingly high abundance in the ISM also suggests that the
cations are likely to be relevant too for the ISM chemistry of phosphorus. While PO and PO + are relatively well known, experi-
mental data available in the literature for PS are very scarce and its cation PS + is mainly unknown spectroscopically, hindering its
possible detection in the ISM. In this work, we present slow photoelectron spectra of both species generated in situ in a discharge
flow reactor. From these spectra, and with the support of electronic structure calculations, we have determined the adiabatic
ionization energy of both radicals (IEPO = 8.377 ± 0.006 eV, IE PS = 7.904 ± 0.006 eV) and the spin–orbit splitting of the 2Π
ground state of PS (350 ± 34 cm − 1 ). We also show that in the case of PO, the splitting is smaller than 250 cm − 1 . In addition,
relevant information on the vibrational structure of the two cationic ground states is extracted, providing useful spectroscopic data
on the two species which might contribute to the ISM detection of these species, their vibrational bands falling within the spectral
coverage of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)

Sensing translation through the body: the case of Caroline Bergvall
No full text[EN] The starting point of this article is that we translate not only with our intellect but also with our body, emotions, and senses. Furthermore, translating in this way—intersensorially, by engaging all the senses—is a political act. After numerous developments in translation studies, this article argues that translation is no longer simply the replacement of one word with another. Translators who work through the sensorium ensure that their translations convey not only sound but also the emotions, sensations, and memories experienced through the whole body. Here, translation is understood as the convergence of two bodies, which are not merely portions of space but also settings for contingency: mobile, plural, and unpredictable environments. We translate with the body because the content originates from the body, and because knowledge is created through the union of reason and feeling. Using Caroline Bergvall’s performance writings and incorporating the concept of “atmosphere,” the article illustrates how she approaches multilingualism through physical, multisensory performances. Bergvall produces atmospheric, intersensory translations that generate a corporeal ontology, enabling one body to merge with and work closely alongside another, immersed in a fully intersensory journey.[SPA] El punto de partida de este artículo es que traducimos no solo con nuestro intelecto, sino también con nuestro cuerpo, emociones y sentidos. Además, traducir de esta manera —intersensorialmente, involucrando todos los sentidos— constituye un acto político. Tras numerosos avances en los estudios de traducción, este artículo sostiene que traducir ya no consiste simplemente en reemplazar una palabra por otra. Los traductores que trabajan a través del sensorio se aseguran de que sus traducciones transmitan no solo el sonido, sino también las emociones, sensaciones y recuerdos experimentados a través de todo el cuerpo. Aquí, la traducción se entiende como la convergencia de dos cuerpos, que no son meramente porciones de espacio, sino también escenarios de contingencia: entornos móviles, plurales e impredecibles. Traducimos con el cuerpo porque el contenido se origina en el cuerpo y porque el conocimiento se crea a través de la unión de la razón y el sentimiento. Utilizando los escritos performativos de Caroline Bergvall e incorporando el concepto de “atmósfera”, el artículo ilustra cómo ella aborda el multilingüismo mediante actuaciones físicas y multisensoriales. Bergvall produce traducciones atmosféricas e intersensoriales que generan una ontología corpórea, permitiendo que un cuerpo se fusione y trabaje estrechamente junto a otro, inmerso en un viaje completamente intersensorial
The Maritime Department of San Blas as an Articulating Node of New Geographic Information on the North Pacific
No full textThe aim of this text is to show how the maritime department of San Blas operated as a key centre for geographic and cartographic information and knowledge. This role developed within the framework of its maritime responsibilities linked to explorations along the coast of North America. The department’s officials received materials documenting earlier explorations, which were then compared with records from new expeditions, as well as with information produced by navigators from other crowns who had likewise extended their voyages through the northern Pacific. Reports of various kinds were gathered in San Blas and examined for their potential use in new projects, diplomatic negotiations, and proposals for occupation and defence in the American Northwest during the second half of the eighteenth century.Con este texto se busca conocer cómo el departamento marítimo de San Blas, en el marco de sus funciones marítimas relacionadas con las exploraciones por el septentrión americano, funcionó como un nodo articulador de informaciones y saberes geográficos y cartográficos. Los oficiales del lugar recibieron diversos materiales que informaban sobre exploraciones previas, a las cuales pronto se sumaron los registros obtenidos con las nuevas expediciones e incluso materiales y registros de navegantes de otras coronas que también habían extendido sus travesías por el Pacífico septentrional. San Blas entonces congregó informes diversos, antiguos y recientes, que constantemente se discutieron en el marco de nuevos proyectos, negociaciones y propuestas de ocupación y defensa que se dieron por el noroeste americano durante la segunda parte del siglo XVIII
Exile, Battles, and Divided Loyalties: the Irish Military Diaspora in the Armies of France and England (1691-1700)
No full textThe Irish military diaspora, resulting from the defeat of the Jacobite side in the War of the Two Kings (1689-1691) and the Treaty of Limerick, had its main core in the army of Louis XIV. In the context of the Nine Years’ War, in which France faced a coalition of European powers, the Sun King took advantage of the experience of the Irish veterans, who demonstrated their valor on numerous occasions between 1691 and 1697. Although military historiography has extensively explored the trajectories of the Irish regiments in terms of battles in which they participated and their officers, there are still relatively unexplored areas. Two of these, the subject of study, are the experiences of the Irish soldiers serving the French monarch on different European fronts and those who took part in initiatives supported by William III, the king-stadtholder, through various expeditions and campaigns.La diáspora militar irlandesa, resultado de la derrota del bando jacobita en la Guerra de los Dos Reyes (1689-1691) y el Tratado de Limerick, tuvo como núcleo principal el ejército de Luis XIV. En el contexto de la Guerra de los Nueve Años, en la que Francia se enfrentó a una coalición de potencias europeas, el Roi Soleil aprovechó la experiencia de los veteranos irlandeses, quienes demostraron su valor en numerosas ocasiones entre 1691 y 1697. Aunque la historiografía militar ha explorado ampliamente las trayectorias de los regimientos irlandeses en términos de batallas en las que intervinieron y la oficialidad, aún persisten áreas poco exploradas. Dos de ellas, objeto de estudio, son los derroteros de los soldados de dicha nación al servicio del monarca francés en los diferentes frentes europeos y de aquellos que formaron parte de las iniciativas respaldadas por Guillermo III, el rey-estatúder, a través de diversas expediciones y campañas
El espejo roto de la seguridad
No full textEl documental Los guardianes (The Gatekeepers, Dror Moreh; Israel; 2012) ofrece un testimonio excepcional sobre la
conciencia moral del poder. A través de las entrevistas a seis antiguos directores del Shin Bet, el servicio de inteligencia
interior israelí, se despliega un relato que no pretende justificar ni acusar, sino mostrar la progresiva toma de conciencia de
quienes, desde el corazón del sistema, comienzan a dudar del sentido último de su propia función. Es una película sobre la
paradoja del control: la seguridad que, en nombre de proteger, termina destruyendo lo que quería preservar

Positive and disruptive uses of AI in language teaching: teachers at a crossroads
No full text[ES]La irrupción de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la educación ha generado un debate profundo sobre su impacto en los procesos de aprendizaje. Más allá del entusiasmo general por sus posibilidades, este estudio pretende conocer cómo los docentes de lenguas utilizan la IA en su práctica pedagógica, con especial atención a las estrategias de planificación y evaluación, y a los procesos disruptivos que surgen en la adquisición de competencias por parte de los estudiantes y su impacto en la equidad educativa. La metodología es puramente cualitativa, basada en el análisis de contenido de entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a un número de docentes representativos de un departamento universitario dedicado a la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. Los resultados identifican beneficios del uso de la IA como la generación eficaz de recursos de aprendizaje y secuencias didácticas, la propuesta de ideas para trabajar en clase y la atención a la diversidad, si bien se señalan problemas pedagógicos y éticos que afectan a docentes y estudiantes. Los docentes muestran preocupación por el uso de la IA por parte de los estudiantes debido al tipo de aprendizaje que estimula y su impacto en la adquisición de las competencias que acredita una titulación universitaria. Los resultados revelan una transformación progresiva del rol docente. Se concluye que el uso de la IA por parte de los docentes y estudiantes tiene un impacto positivo en el rendimiento académico, si bien afecta a la equidad y los aprendizajes obtenidos.[EN]The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has sparked a profound debate about its impact on the learning process. While there is general enthusiasm for the possibilities of AI, this study aims to determinehow language teachers use it in their practice, paying special attention to planning and assessment strategies,the disruptive processes that arise in students' skill acquisition and their impact on educational equity. The study employs a purely qualitative methodology based onthe content analysis ofin-depth interviews with teachers from a university department specialising in foreign language teaching. The benefits of using AI are identified, such as effectively generating learning resources and teaching sequences, proposing ideas for classroom workand paying attention to diversity. However, pedagogical and ethical issues affecting teachers and students are also highlighted. Teachers express concern about students using AI because of the type of learning it encourages and its impact on acquiring the knowledge and skills certified by a university degree. The results reveal the progressive transformation of the role of the teacher as an educational mediator. It is concluded thatthe use of AI byteachers and student hasa positive impact on academic performance, though it affects equity and learning outcomes
